Terminology

Current - This is a word to describe what a player currently mains. It's also an easier way to tell players which Loadout to use.

Loadout - A loudout in this A.U is gonna represent which main a player is forced to use. So the administrator will say-

"This round you are to use your Current Loadout."

And-

"This round will require you to use your Set Loadout."

Set - This is a term to describe a secondary learned class or a previously mained class. So each player has two classes that they are able to play to help the team.

Secondary Class - This player picked the class they wanted but still stick to their current main.

Previous Class - This player is using their secondary class. Meaning they aren't using their usual mains.

Active Secondary Class Users
Grian, False, Tango, Iskall, Mumbo, Biffa, Doc, Xisuma, Zedaph and Python

The players listed above are not using their original mained class for whatever reason.

Competitive Matches and Casual Matches are different.

Competitive matches can have permanent death, but the round tells players that before hand.

Casual matches don't have permanent death and cannot be activated as such. Every player that dies in a casual match will respawn.

Grian could still feel the hot tears running down his face as his old team drew further and further away in the distance. "They didn't even fight to keep me on their team." His mind said, screaming mental curses at himself.

Grian was currently sitting on a bus staring out the window. He was huddled into himself sitting alone in his bus seat. Other people were there but he didn't wanna talk. He was too upset to even try to talk with anyone. "Why did I have to get removed from the group? I did most of the work! I've helped them all! What did I do wrong?" He thought desperately as the bus continued down it's long road towards a different location entirely.

Grian thought back harder on all that had been said to him when his team had told him he was being removed from the team.

1) Grian's application was reviewed over by another group of people. A very big group of people that did a lot of teamwork based things like MvM, Custom Maps, NPC Boss fights and much more.

And 2, he had actually been accepted into this other group. The groups leader had apparently said that it was ok for him to join.

"I'm being moved to another team that I have no connections with. I'm practically going in blind." Grian said harshly to himself. "With my current luck, they immediately send me away too after the first week of being there."

Grian shut his eyes tightly, his head resting against the bus window as more tears ran down his face. He then slowly fell asleep.

What felt like seconds later, a tap on his shoulder woke him up.

Grian fluttered his eyes open, seeing the sun starting to rise just put of his window. He then turned his head to see the bus driver looking down at him.

"Welp, this is your stop buddy." The driver rasped out.

Grian felt himself flinch. Was he ready to meet this new team of his? Was this all some sort of sick joke being played by his other teammates?

Grian sat up straight stretching out as the driver walked towards the front of the bus. The mercenary then stood up and followed the driver, breathing deeply.

The driver the got off the bus and started walking to a massive base like building. He then spoke up without looking back at the blond mercenary. "First time getting moved?"

Grian paused, following the driver. "Uh, yeah. I didn't think my teammates would let me go with that little of resistance." He replied gloomily.

The driver chuckled. "Happens to the best of us. Especially for teams who plan to go competitive. They don't want people slowing them down."

Grian couldn't help but to wince at the comment. "I didn't slow them down! If anything I'd say they slowed me down. I helped them get to where they are now."

The driver gave a shrug, stopping at a metal door. "Then I dunno. I'm just a bus driver. Careful about the noise, these guys can get pretty crazy from what I've heard."

Grian tilted his head as the bus driver opened the door, gesturing for Grian to walk inside.

Hesitantly the blond haired mercenary walked through the doors. Instantly realizing why the driver had said to brace himself for a volume change. He could already hear explosions and gun fire.

The metal doors closed behind him, telling Grian that he was now on his own to introduce himself.

Carefully, Grian walked down the hall a bit more before coming up to a huge window wall.

Peering down through the glass, Grian could see a huge training room with a whole bunch of people sparing each other, rocket jumping, practicing aim, ect. These people were doing it all.

A medic player down below then looked up, locking eyes with Grian for a second. The new mercenary felt himself freeze.

The medic player then waved to him, gesturing heavily for Grian to continue to the left.

Grian looked to his left then started down that way, watching as the medic player weaved his way on the sidelines of the training room towards some stairs going up to another metal door.

The metal door opened and the medic player walked through, looking at Grian. "Hello, you must be our new mercenary." 

Grian stopped at least 6 feet from the medic. He then gave a silent nod.

The medic had a mask covering the majority of his face. Only a visor was allowing Grian to see his eyes. The other mercenary seemingly beamed at the reply. "Excellent! Sorry we all weren't able to greet you when you arrived, you kinda showed up earlier than the papers said."

Grian stuttered slightly for a response. "O-Oh, sorry."

The medic gave light hearted laugh. "Pfffh, don't be! I'm just glad you made it safe and sound! I'm XisumaVoid by the way and I'm this groups' leader."

Grian gave a weak smile in return, praying that his eyes didn't look too red and puffy. "Heh... thanks. You're... a medic, I've never really seen a medic in a leadership role before."

Xisuma smiled behind the mask. "I'm one of a kind. Come on down to the training room, the others are super excited to meet you." X gestured to the metal door leading down to the huge room that all the others were in before heading back through the door.

Grian took a deep breath and followed his new leader down into the chaos that was this training room.

Walking down and up to a button, Xisuma went and pushed against the button, causing machines to turn off and power down. He called out to the others. "Cease Fire!"

With that, the entire area fell quieter as the people inside started to pick up their weapons and walk over towards the lead medic.

Grian stood behind Xisuma as people walked up and formed somewhat of a semi-circle around them. Surprisingly, Grian could tell each class apart but each person was still recognizable and stood out as a single individual.

With the whole rooms attention now, Xisuma spoke once again. "Everyone, as you all were aware we got a new mercenary today joining us! Please give a warm welcome to Grian!" X then gestured to the shorter man, gesturing for him to step forward.

Grian did his best to swallow a lump that was forming in the back of his throat before stepping up to the side of Xisuma, looking out at all the others. "H-Hi everyone..." he said, suddenly becoming extremely shy.

People in the group waved, some even said hi or hello back to him.

Xisuma grinned behind his mask. "Grian, meet Scar and Stress. Our Scouts."

A woman and a man both waved, both obviously the class Xisuma had said.

"False, Wels and Bdubs. Our soldiers."

The three soldiers all waved in response.

"Tango, Cleo and Hypnotized. Our pyros."

None of the three pyros were currently wearing a mask, but they all had a pyro outfit on. Those three waved, while Tango said hello.

"Iskall, iJevin and Rendog. Our demomen."

The three all said Hello, giving a wave or a smile.

"TFC, Vintage and xBCrafted. Our heavy weapons class users."

TFC gave a smile with Vintage and xBCrafted waved.

"Our three engineers, Mumbo, Impulse and Biffa. Our two other doctors, as well as myself, Docm and Cubfan."

Those five waved, giving smiles towards the new merc.

"Our three snipers, Joe, Zedaph and Keralis and finally our three spys, Ethos, Jess and Python."

Those six mercenaries all waved their Greetings.

Xisuma had cycled through everyone so quickly that Grian kinda struggled to keep up but he merely gave a weak sounding laugh and nodded, speaking up. "Well it's nice to meet all of you." "Even if I really don't want to."
