Living The Game

Meeting The Team

'This is… awkward,' I thought as I stood there like a statue, not knowing of my next move; I was currently located in a small pod, with a screen counting down.

10… 9… 8… 7…

The numbers counted down to a single, I was nervous and panicking of my next move, clenching my fists as hard as I can that my knuckles turned white.

3… 2… 1… 0.

A bright light engulfed me as I was blinded temporarily, it wasn't a pleasant experience, at all, don't try this at home.

The cooling sensation stopped and I blinked my eyes to adjust my vision, when I opened my eyes, I was in a room of some sort. Four more people stood there also equally confused as I am; one was a man with white and blue armour, a girl with a black jacket, a girl with white hair, and another man… with armour.

"What's going on?" the girl with the white hair asked. "Wasn't I traveling…?"

"Who are you people?" the man with the white and blue armour asked, "Where are we?"

None of us knew what or how we got here, but an announcement from nowhere came through.

"Welcome, to Mobile Legends!"

"What in the-"

"Five hours until the enemy approaches, smash them!"

"Uh…" I stammered, "Anyone knows what's going on…?"

"Enemy?" the man with armour asked, "I'd like that."

The girl with a black jacket spoke up, "Why… don't we make introductions first? Heh, heh!"

The white haired girl ran a hand through her ponytail and sighed, "I'm Miya, Reap Marksman."

"Reap Marksman? Not too common," I commented.

"Well… my name is Yun Zhao, Son Of The Dragon Lord," he chuckled awkwardly, scratching his chin.

"Dragon Lord?" Miya asked, "A fine warrior indeed."

"Yeah, you're literally son of the dragon lord?" I asked.

"Where are my manners, I'm Layla, also, a Reap Marksman," she smirked, slamming her gun on the floor that came out of absolutely nowhere, I scooted away from that a bit.

"I'm Saber, Assassin," he smirked. "And you?"

"I'm… Ruby, Fighter Crowd Control..."

"Fighter Crowd Control? Now that's rare," Yun Zhao looks astonished. "You may be a fine warrior yourself, young maiden."

"Okay… so what weapons can we use? As whoever said that the enemy is approaching?" Layla rolled her eyes, "You guys seen mine, you guys?"

I rolled my own eyes, and I thought I was sarcastic, she's Harley-Quinn crazy, "A scythe, you?"

"... a scythe?" she asked back dumbfounded as I slammed the floor with it, sticking it and also cracking it.

"Yes, a scythe," I said cheekily.

"That looks heavy," Saber sweatdropped at the sight of it.

"Nah it's nothing, you try it, I created it at Signal, it's my sweetheart," I said and they looked confused again. "It's my school for training kids how to kill monsters."

"..." no comment on that, until Miya got her bow out, she said, "Marksman, you get the idea."

Yun Zhao and Saber looked at each other and shrugged and got their respective weapons out, Yun Zhao's was a sceptre of some sort that emitted a strange blue glow, Saber's was two pink-red swords- laser swords? I can't tell.

This was when I noticed that there was something at the left corner at my eye, there were 'obs' of our pictures in it, and it showed the terrain around us? Huh, must be a map… and the right corner had a number with a cash symbol… gold, is it? And along with two swords clashing, a skull and a fist… all were 0 at the moment. This is weird.

What's more weirder that the gold started multiplying, and more orbs with daggers and a boot came out, I reached my hand out to them but I didn't touch it, that's so strange! With my mind? I did it and chose the boot, it read 'Movement speed increase 15%', so I can go faster?

What is this sorcery? What's even weirder than that is there were two scythes in front of my vision, and a golden orb with a plus sign in it practically begged me to choose one, I chose 'Be Good!'? I tested it out with my mind, it read 'Level 1'.

I focused and gripped the handle of my scythe, I used it and a red shockwave with bats following flew through the area, I was amazed, it looks like I got an ability… my comrades looks like they got one too, I noticed something was floating above us, a health bar… a mana bar… a level and an exp bar? Huh, we're all level 1.

Miya looks confused when she pointed her bow to the air and formed an arrow from thin air, she fired it to the sky and a circle formed on the ground like an emblem with more arrows to follow, "By the gods… what is this?"

Yun Zhao looks way more confused, he got his spear and charged so fast that we only can see a blurry image of it, but Layla is nowhere confused, how confusing is a gun? She fired a massive blue bomb at the wall and it cracked.

I can't tell Saber is either amazed or confused under that mask, he seems to be feeling both, he slashed his swords forward and four more blue blades on the ground shot out, "Oh my…"

We were dazing out of amazement but another sign in our sight interrupted us, Minions Spawned.

"We have minions?" Layla whistled, "Talk about lucky?"

"We don't have time for this, well we have to destroy the enemy team, right? We need a plan," Yun Zhao stated, and said his familiar quote, "It would take an army to stop me!"

"I guess these… tower like things are turrets…" I was lost in thought, "The blue ones are our's, the red one's theirs, and I guess the biggest one in the middle is the base… we have to destroy that?"

"Do we have a choice? Do or die," Miya sighed as she advanced forward, "Should we split up or stay as a team?"

We all looked at each other, Saber was the one to react, "Yun Zhao, Layla and me shall advance to the middle, Ruby shall go to the bottom and Miya should go with her to assist."

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Because we all need each other, in a war, a fighter requires backup from marksman, otherwise it would be unbalanced," Yun Zhao stated once again, also striking the point, damn, he really is the son of the dragon lord, after all.

"Okay, so… good luck?" Layla smirked and carried her massive cannon-gun, wait how does she carry it?

"Good luck," we all said together and went with our team.

I saw everything and everyone on the map, well, at least our team, the enemy have yet to show, I felt someone stopped me from walking more forward. I looked up to see Miya holding her bow in defense.

"We have reached a turret," she warned, "The minions have yet to arrive, I have doubts about it."

Sure enough, minions arrived, but it's not ours! The enemy minions arrived first; and Miya has no patience to wait to fight, she started firing arrows at them, their red health bar gone down pretty quick, I had to wait because they were in the turret's range, oh come on!

"Pull back slightly," I told her, she nodded and ran back a little, which the minions followed, I saw this as my chance as I used my special attack, a shockwave launched towards them, unfortunately it didn't kill them, but it's really cool for my liking.

Soon with our teamwork, the minions were all destroyed and we were both up to level 2, I got another skill, that's for sure, and more gold, uh… I bought the dagger, fair enough, it's called 'Don't run, Wolf King!'.

But out victory didn't last long as we encountered an enemy! She was… floating in mid air?

"I see you must be the enemy team," she said in a melodic voice, but neither of us put down our guard.

"Huh, I could say the same," I mocked, gripping my scythe even tighter than before.

"You must be Rafaela," Miya spoke up, lowering her bow, "But why are you alone?"

"What… do you mean?" I asked.

"She is the 'Wings Of Holiness', and her ability is Support and Regen, not much of a fighter," she explained.

"Yes, indeed I am, but you?" Rafaela asked back.

"I am Miya, and this is Ruby," Miya said, but grabbing her bow once more. "You are not our concern, get out off our path."

"You'd think I'd be foolish enough to come alone, Marksman?" she chuckled, and out came from the bush was two more females, one with devil wings and one with blue skin.

"This isn't very common, is it?" I hissed, "Most of us are females."

"Well, it isn't," Rafaela smirked, "Meet my sisters, Eudora and Alice."

"You two look like the devil," Miya laughed herself, "But none the less, we have backup as well." as on cue, Layla appeared out of our side of the bush.

"Aren't you supposed to be with them?!" I shrieked.

"Yeah but, I can't let you have all the fun, can I?" she smirked back, and fired the special attack 'Maletic Bomb' at them, that did some decent damage, as I used my own, but unfortunately I was too close to the turret.

"Ah!" I yelled when a bolt hit me, Miya and Layla soon pulled me out.

"What were you doing?" Miya asked menacingly.

'She reminds me of Weiss,' I thought cheekily. "Sorry, close range crowd control."

From Team Rwby, I based Ruby on this.

"At least we did damage," Layla sighed and her jaw dropped once she saw Rafala healed them back to full health.

"Forgot about me?" she smirked as she used her own ultimate attack, wait… she's level 6?! We're so dead, lucky for us, Alice and Eudora are only level two each like us, but we have to deal with Rafaela first.

"Uh… you two deal with blondy here, I got the rest."

"You crazy?!" they both yelled.

"Crowd control girls, forgot?"

Miya and Layla both facepalmed, "Okay, may Artemis protect you."

"Arte- what?" we both asked.

"Moon elf," she reminded. "Duh."

"Okay, may Beacon be with you," I said cheekily again.

"Okay, you two stop using words from your background, because I have no idea what you two said at all."

I didn't listen, I never do as I launched towards the two, they seemed impressed and surprised together, as they smirked and launched their attack, from Alice was a hurling blood red orb, and from Eudora was lighting. I looked at my HP, only a half left?! Oh god this is bad, to make matter even worse is that I'm stunned. Dammit Eudora.

"Hey Ruby, you okay?!" Layla yelled as she fired more bolts at Rafaela as she healed herself once again. "Dammit Rafaela!"

"Hey Alice, Rafaela needs help," Eudora stated, drawing her attention away from me, which I happily accepted the fact.

"Wha-"

I used their distraction to my advantage, me and Miya soon overpowered them and their HP was somewhat down to a quarter fast enough, when I was about to finish the blow by using another special attack which I've unlocked, another announcement came through, it was a circle .of Yun Zhao's picture with a First Blood and a red skinned man.

"Your Team Has Slain an Enemy!"

"Nice work," Layla said through our 'group chat', he soon replied.

"Need any help?"

"Balmond's down," Rafaela clenched her teeth, and launched 'God's Judgement' at us, but Layla got the chance and finished off Eudora, soon her picture was in our sight, with me and Miya as 'Assists'.

"Your Team Has Slain an Enemy!"

"She's resurrecting in 12 seconds," Alice groaned and activated her lifesteal, forming a blood pool around her, geez, she is the devil.

"Girls get out of there!" I yelled as we all jumped out of the way, this was when I noticed that none of our minions came.

"I'm here!" we turned to the source of that voice, a man with a yellow jumpsuit came.

"Chou, what took you so long?" Rafaela asked a little annoyed.

"The minions are more stubborn than I've anticipated," he replied.

"Great, just great, we're half health and this guy shows up?" Miya rolled her eyes, a orb with three arrows son appeared on the map.

"Request Backup!" … by Miya.

"This is indeed interesting," Yun Zhao stretched his limbs while Saber leaned on a nearby wall.

"I recall that the person you killed was weak," he mocked. "He barely did damage."

"He's known as a tank, unharmable but no real attack," Yun Zhao replied, "Do the others require assistance?"

"Nop-"

"Request Backup!"

"... they do, let's go."
