흘러간 세월들 (7번째 Team Fortress 만화)은 2024년 12월 20일에 공개된 만화입니다. 벌거벗은 자와 죽은 자와 이어지는 시리즈의 마지막이자 7번째 Team Fortress 만화입니다.

줄거리

The comic opens in 1979, seven years after the defeat of the TFC team in 1972. Merasmus is revealed to have been sent to the Badlands Correctional Institute, a prison with a perimeter littered with the remains of attempted escapees. Another prisoner, named Diego, is apologizing to Merasmus for running a card hustle rivaling the one of Merasmus. Diego, aware of his history as a magician, is frightened at the thought of retributions for crossing Merasmus. Merasmus moves to deal with Diego by choking him, but Soldier, Zhanna, and their two children, General Patton Doe and Georgia Washington Doe, dig into Merasmus' cell. T-Bone, another one of Merasmus' cellmates, intervenes, but Georgia snaps his neck. The family is there to free Merasmus so that he can act as their babysitter, but Merasmus is reluctant leave the home and respect he had gained in prison. He only relents when Soldier reveals that the Korean mafia is after Merasmus for unpaid debts.

The story then cuts back to seven years ago as Soldier recaps to Merasmus happened after his (framed) imprisonment for killing Tom Jones. As Miss Pauling delivers a victory speech to the dying TFC Heavy, Soldier announces to Heavy his intentions to marry and start a family with Zhanna. Soldier gets down on one knee, offering a grenade while asking Heavy for his sister's hand in marriage, to which he says no. Soldier turns to Zhanna to offer her the grenade instead, and she agrees. The Soldier subsequently pulls the pin out of the grenade and uses it as an engagement ring while throwing the grenade behind Zhanna. Heavy objects as Soldier has no income and lives in a cave, but they marry anyway. Soldier reveals that the cave he lives in is lined with "gold", which Heavy recognizes as Australium. Miss Pauling snatches the piece away and prepares to take it to the Administrator in hopes of receiving a promotion, hiding news of Soldier's Australium from Saxton Hale. Hale decides to go take back Mann Co. with Maggie, but she ditches him. He steals Miss Pauling's plane and strands the mercenaries, leaving them with no other choice but to fly a rickety aircraft. They fly to Engineer's location, but with no place to land they jump from the plane and parachute down.

After Miss Pauling expresses urgency to meet with the Administrator, Engineer leads them to a mysterious door that takes them to a cavern underneath. Engineer remains behind, seeing it unreasonable as his grandfather and father had never gone past that door. Fearing possible death as they descend into the cavern, Scout confesses to Miss Pauling that he had decided to move on from pursuing romance with her, stating that he began to realize that there are more women out in the world during their flight. Miss Pauling quips that some of those women must be hotter than she is, and they bump fists.

In a flashback to a cold winter day in the 1820s, a young "Elizabeth" arrives at Zepheniah Mann's mansion to become his governess. Zepheniah informs her that the job will involve molding his two sons, Redmond and Blutarch, to become titans of industry until the stronger brother kills the other and becomes worthy to inherit the Mann fortune. 27 years later, in Teufort, New Mexico, USA, a dying Zepheniah signs his will. Elizabeth reveals that she had lied to Zepheniah about the land he had purchased and vowed to have his sons fight forever, neither of them emerging victorious. Elizabeth whispers one last thing to Zepheniah; he passes shortly after. His body is returned to his manor where it is buried outside his family mausoleum and in a small, unremarkable grave.

In the year that followed, Elizabeth slowly loses the will to live, eventually committing suicide by hanging herself. Gray Mann, who is aware of Elizabeth's actions and the fact that "Elizabeth" is just an alias, arrives and revives her using his own life-extending machine. When inquired about the yellow "miracle gravel" Zepheniah left behind for her, she disregards it as worthless fool's gold, until Gray informs her that it is actually a new element capable of extending the human lifespan well beyond natural expectancy (as he just demonstrated by reviving her). She sends Gray away by lying that she does not have her miracle gravel at hand and needs time to retrieve it; all the while she was standing next to an exorbitant amount hidden under a tarp. She exhumes Zepheniah's body that night.

Back in the present, the mercenaries find a young Administrator speaking menacingly to a resurrected Zepheniah, who is strapped to a Life Extender Machine, and the Administrator had forced him to watch the never-ending war between RED and BLU for the past century. So much time had passed that the Administrator no longer remembers why she was tormenting Zepheniah. She asks Miss Pauling if she had brought her more Australium as instructed, but Miss Pauling hides her piece away and denies finding any. The Administrator begins to age rapidly, leading her to taunt Zepheniah one last time and declare that spending the past century torturing him was worth it. Exhausting any Australium they had left, both of their bodies crumbled away to dust. Miss Pauling is the last to leave the room; she speaks with the Engineer again, who advises her to mine Soldier's cave for every deposit of Australium present and commit it to the deepest aquatic trench she can find, to which she asks if he knows any deep aquatic trenches.

The story jumps back to seven years after, in Gwangju, South Korea. A tied-up Soldier had been recapping the events as Merasmus was tortured to death by the Korean mafia. Merasmus' ghost remains in the room, but only Soldier can see him, and the Korean mafia begins torturing Soldier. Heavy and Sniper barge into the room and confront the mafia, but learn that Merasmus' debt totaled to only 12,000 won, equivalent to 17 U.S. dollars. Heavy pays the mafia with a $20 bill, which frees Soldier. Merasmus also escapes by haunting a brick, which Soldier then carries out in his pants, planning to head back to Merasmus' burnt-down house to collect a brick for Tom Jones to haunt and linger in the living world together with Merasmus in Soldier's pants.

A drunken Saxton Hale daydreams about a past adventure with Maggie when Mr. Bidwell wakes him to sign documents. Hale had taken back Mann Co. from a now-14-year-old Olivia Mann, who was retained as a desk secretary. Both of them hate their positions; Olivia disliked being part of her father's plans of world domination, so Hale promptly fires her. Overjoyed, Olivia hugs Hale and leaves the room, while Bidwell reminds Hale that she is still in his custody. Hale also resigns from Mann Co., offering the company to Bidwell, who again declines, Hale reverting the ownership to Mr. Reddy. Hale decides to reunite with Maggie to rejuvenate his life of adventure.

Scout—now a single father of many children—has invited all the mercenaries to his home in Boston, USA, for the holidays. Spy is the first to arrive, and when he inquires Scout about how he can afford to raise that many kids alone, Scout reveals that he won a lawsuit against the city of Teufort for the numerous injuries he had sustained there. One of Scout's children, Tanya, runs up to them and Spy introduces himself as her father's friend from work before gifting her his balaclava. The remaining mercenaries with their families and pets, alongside the Eyelander and the ghosts of Merasmus and Tom Jones, arrive soon after. The reader is the last to arrive at the party, and Scout proclaims that they wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything without our support.

Many decades later, in the current day, an elderly Hale and Maggie take on a pack of cheetahs as they are cornered on a cliff. The comic concludes with Hale asking Maggie, "What's the matter, Mags... You wanna live forever?".
