The Soldier

Old Wounds (also known as Team Fortress Comics #5) is a comic released on August 31, 2015. It is the fourth part of a seven-part comic series, picking up where Blood in the Water left off.

Synopsis

The comic starts off with TFC Heavy and Grey Mann discussing about the whereabouts of the Administrator and also where the Australium has gone. Whilst Grey Mann starts to talk about his future plans, TFC Heavy grabs Grey Mann and talks about taking over from Grey Mann.

Meanwhile, Soldier is shown chained up to a chair and bloodied whilst being interrogated on the whereabouts of the Administrator by the TFC Pyro. Soilder, being relcutant to tell, says that Miss Pauling knows where she is and gets by the TFC Pyro. Zhanna, also tied up, asks to be tortured instead of the Soilder, but the TFC Pyro declines and continues on torturing the Soilder. TFC Heavy walks in with Grey Mann in his hand and asks TFC Pyro (now known as Beatrice) to torture him, before ripping out his life machine and then leaving the room. Zhanna then spots a glass shard on the floor and uses it to break free from her handcuffs. She then throws the drill gun out of the TFC Pyro's hand then jams a grenade into the her suit. Zhanna then jams the TFC Pyro's helmet on as the grenade goes off, incinerating the TFC Pyro in her suit. As she is thanked by the Soldier, she shows that she cut her hand off to free herself, which the Soilder praises her for. Zhanna thanks the Soilder for this and they start to leave the room, but Grey Mann interupts them and begs of them to take him to Miss Pauling.

Demoman is then shown chained up but speaking to his liver in a dream, telling it not to leave and also speaking to his heart and lungs to find his liver. Whilst Demoman is dreaming, Pyro, Miss Pauling and Spy are shown chained up as well in a cell. Miss Pauling then talks about how she managed to get the team caputred and then starts to tear. Spy then offers Miss Pauling to kill herself with cyanide which the Spy has in his molar. Before Spy cracks the molar, Heavy bursts in and says that there are thousands of robots patroling the island. Heavy then offers to sacrifice himself to save Miss Pauling and the others, but as Spy tells Heavy to unchain them, the TFC Demoman runs in with a telephone and Heavy starts to fade into the TFC Spy. The TFC Spy collects the call and talks to the other person on the line about where the coordinates of the supposed whereabouts of the Adminisrator is. TFC Spy then orders the TFC Demoman to kill the rest of the surviving classes but as he leaves, Zhanna punches the TFC Spy with her stump, which doesen't work. Soldier then steps in and snaps TFC Spy's neck with a single punch, killing him. TFC Demoman then grabs Miss Pauling and points a Pistol at her, threatening to kill her unless Zhanna puts the Shotgun down. Zhanna complies, lowering the Shotgun but suddenly punches Miss Pauling which knocks back into the TFC Demoman and makes him fall onto the floor, where Spy strangles him with his chains. Afterwards, Miss Pauling and Spy talk to Grey Mann as he dies and he says to them to stop the Administrator. Miss Pauling defends her, saying that she worked for her and followed all of her demands before Spy interupts her, saying that he died two minutes ago.

The comic cuts to the Medic standing over an operating table with the Sniper's body on it. Sniper is then shown in Heaven with his adopted parents, saying that he didn't want to leave them behind. They then say that although they want him to stay, there is a lot of killing to be done. The Sniper wakes back up on the operating table, with stiches all across his torso. Medic, suprised, calls it his "crowning medical achivement" before Sniper throttles him. Medic says that he didn't kill him and states that he only smiled because he was happy to see him. Medic also said that he only joined the Classic team because their team disbanded and they needed a Medic and he was using Sniper's body for organ harvesting. Sniper then wonders if the vision he had of his adopted parents was real, which Medic says that was a hallucination before brain death. Sniper disreagards that and claims himself as the most dangerous man on the island. As Medic begins to comment on Sniper's condition, the TFC Heavy bursts in and questions the Medic on why Sniper is alive. Medic begins to explain about how he needed Sniper's body whilst Archimedes flys to the TFC Heavy. The TFC Heavy then grabs Archimedes and throws him to the ground, killing him. Whilst Medic is in the process of ressurecting Archimedes, the TFC Heavy talks about how Medic wasted the medical budget on organ parts, experimenting and bringing the Sniper back to life. Suddenly, the alarm rings, and TFC Heavy gets the call that the team has killed three TFC mercenaries. TFC heavy turns round to the Medic and says that the remaining TFC team are going to find them and Medic offers to join them. TFC Heavy declines the offer and asks Medic to kill Sniper, but unfortunately, Sniper had escaped prior. TFC Heavy then says to Medic to prepare himself and not to leave the room. Archimedes coos at Medic and Medic says that he couldn't agree more, implying that he too, wants to get rid of TFC Heavy.

As the team are making their escape from the base, the TFC Heavy speaks to them via screens and talks about how Grey Mann was going to invade Australia but also says how he couldn't understand why as the Administrator had already taken it. He then also says that there is some Australium left in the people, and that Grey Mann made masses of robots to suck the Australium out of their bodies. The team then encounter the robots behind the corner and the robots grab on them and start to suck the blood out of them.

Trivia

  • Where Soldier mentions to Zhanna that he "did not know that they stacked ravishing that high", it is a reference to the opening scenes of Full Metal Jacket.
  • The coordinates which Miss Pauling talks about points to a location in New Mexico called the Organ Needle.
