A/N: Inspired by the new Payload map and the John Cena Theme Song, here's a one-shot! Hints of SoldierxMissPauling.
No.
Soldier could not believe that his teammates were helplessly trapped inside a barn, with Monoculus and the Horseless Headless Horsemann chuckling evilly outside, ready to slaughter them.
The time is now.
The bosses charged and smashed through the wall, revealing a very scared Scout clutching onto an unconscious Demoman. Spy had his revolver aimed at his own head. Medic was desperately firing his Blutsauger while Heavy shot at the giant eyeball with his shotgun. Engineer and his level three sentry were in the corner. Engineer had his pistol trained on the HHH while his sentry locked on Monoculus.
Their time is now.
Pyro had his arm around Sniper. They then aimed their secondary weapons to each other's heads and fired. The Horsemann dragged Medic away while he cried out to Heavy.
"Ze time is now, mein freund!"
Heavy charged towards Soldier, carrying Scout on his shoulder. Soldier knew what this meant.
"Demo is ded! Is kill by eyeball! Time is now, Soldier!"
"Amen, brother." With that, He took the grenades off his bandolier, threw aside his rocket launcher and bolted. He found Engineer putting a bullet in his own head. The sentry was chopped in half.
My time is now.
Soldier ran into the Horsemann, tearing off the pins on his grenades. The Horsemann looked at him and stood.
"Your time is now, maggot!"
Then everything was black.
A day later…
Seven new tombstones stood in the frozen dirt where the RED barn was. Each one had an emblem on it, with no words. A large man and a shorter, younger man were standing by the second one.
Here lies Soldier. He saved the lives of two men by becoming a suicide bomber. May God bless his brave soul.
A young woman dressed in purple was starting a fire out of a pile of bones and a pumpkin. She was crying and holding a piece of what used to be a dark red helmet. She threw the piece into the fire as the two men came along.
His time was then.
