Summary
The Administrator is angry that mercenaries all around are either incompetent or deadlocked, making her supervision a total nightmare. However, she is met by Ninja Spy and Ninja Heavy, who propose the idea of spicing it up by having each match interrupted by a Freak.
Plot
One boring day at 2Fort, mercenaries are fighting each other, but neither team seems to be gaining the upper hand. Eventually, the Administrator in her office is starting to lose her temper as she is forced to watch match after match of boring, incompetent people not doing any effort to progress. Just then, she is interrupted by Ninja Spy and his lackey Ninja Heavy. Unimpressed at first, the black clad Spy surprises her by showing a selection of Freaks. She gets then the idea to plant them in the middle of a match, hoping this would motivate the mercenaries into completeing their objectives.
As the mercenaries of either team stare down each other back in 2Fort, the Announcer surprises them all by summoning the intelligence in between them. Moments later, drunken gibberish and dancing catches everyone's attention: Dic Soupcan has joined the fray, and swiftly eliminates the RED team.
Dic falls asleep and BLU looks nervously at each other. The Soldier carefully tries to walk toward the drunkard hoping he won't wake up, but to no avail: the instant he lifts his foot, Dic charges toward them and murders all but the BLU Engineer and Pyro; they both take the opportunity to go after the intel, but Dic Soupcan catches up to the Pyro quickly and kills him. The suitcase flies to the hands of a respawned RED Scout. The Engineer is mad, and noticing Dic's anger point, he lies to him and tells him Scout called him ugly.
Dic Soupcan rushes toward the RED team, but they have prepared a Sniper-Sticky Bomb ambush. This proves useless as it only makes the drunkard activate his Nightmare Mode and quickly kills them all. The BLU Engineer hears the screams come from the RED base, and approaches it when the screams die down. He finds the suitcase and takes it; a nearby Dic Soupcan offers him a soupcan, and Engineer accepts. This causes a positive reaction on Dic, and he lets him go as he snores again.
Extremely pleased with the result, the Administrator demands more and hands some money to Ninja Spy. He sees this opportunity to make money quick and summons another Freak to the Badlands, where another two teams do nothing but weakly shoot at each other or relax under cover. The chess game BLU Medic and Heavy are playing is cut short by none other than Christian Brutal Sniper.
CBS nonchalanty disposes of the Medic, throws the weapon away and as usuall kills the RED Scout, and the Heavy is quickly beheaded. The flying blood angers the Spy but is distracted by the enemy Pyro long enough to get an axe to the face. The angry RED Pyro challenges Christian Brutal Sniper and manages to briefly combat and disarm CBS, but this is fruitless as the Sniper Freak takes a claymore from hammerspace and impales the Pyro. As he gloats, the lone RED Engineer unwittingly captures the point before he is dispatched. BLU is horrified to try and cap the point back, making RED win the match.
Again satisfied with the result, the Announcer keeps giving money to the Ninja Freaks. This time, a soldier Freak is dispatched to deal with two deadlocked teams in Swiftwater: Soldine.
Soldine proceeds to kill the BLU scout pushing a bomb-cart before demanding that the RED team surrender. The RED heavy opens fire with no effect, instead Soldine closes the distance, prompting the heavy to punch the cyborg. After having his hand thoroughly broken in the process, the RED heavy is sent flying and the RED engineer proceeds to barrage Soldine with sentry fire. Soldine powers through the fire with little effort, killing the engineer and sentry in the process. A RED sniper attemps to head shot the cyborg multiple times, but is blown away in repsonse. The announcer alerts the map that the bomb is almost at the final point, prompting Soldine to launch himself away after dealing with the last RED soldier. Interrupting the bomb cart at the final moment, the BLU pyro attempts to airblast the freak into the bomb pit, however he barely slides back, before detonating the pyro with a rocket at point blank range. The BLU demoman begs Soldine for mercy, but this is merely a ruse for the BLU spy to attempt to sap the cyborg,but the attempt fails and Soldine proceeds to kill the remaining members of BLU.
While the Announcer expresses her continued delight at the success of the freaks, while the BLU team argue in the spawn room. Suddenly the BLU scout is cut down by an unknown assailant who is revealed to be Handsome Rogue, then promptly kills most of the BLU team. The Announcer demands to know who has attacked BLU, but Ninja Spy, (seemingly shocked) diverts her attention to Doublecross, where a match is promptly interrupted by a medic Freak: Sewer Medic.
Trivia
- The idea of Freaks being sent to fight mercenaries was inspired by a fanfiction called Project FREAK, which had a similar premise.
- In part 1, Dic Soupcan features a custom skin made for the gamemode Freak Fortress 2. One of the tennis players didn't like this fact, because Dic is supposed to be a plain RED Demoman. In order to compromise, the Dic Soupcan featured in part 2 is of a slightly darker RED and has a beer splash on the torso.
- The BLU Engineer and Dic Soupcan's exchange is nearly identical to the one he has with Madic in the QMSC video "Enemies of Old".
- The BLU Heavy in part 3 is dressed as the Dude from the film The Big Lebowski, and even does one of his classic lines.
