Summary: What goes on behind the computerized simulations of games on the battlefield. This takes place in a made up housing area for the specialists much like a safe house in the campaign but different..Parings include (Battery x Ruin) may include (Seraph x Spectre*) may also include some others but I am unsure on who to pair who with.

*even though spectre is a robot or whatever I'm going to make them a He in my story even though their is no confirmed gender to them.

Disclaimer: I Do not own anything besides this story.

Behind the battlefield Chapter one: My name is

Ruin sighed, he hadn't fought in a long time and he was itching for a fight but unfortunately,the player was much more focused on Prophet for the time being, walking around the large building that housed all the specialist he made his way to the gym even though he was currently wearing the bones outfit and his normal gladiator mask for some reason the player seemed to like it this way, Ruin however didn't seem to care as he started to take out his frustration on a punching bag,hitting it hard enough to rattle,shake and almost knock the thing off it's thickly chained position.

if he listened hard enough he could hear the ongoing battle within the seemingly virtual interfaced world,the hum and whirr of computers and advanced technology keep the thing running. Last time any of the players got a break was when the player couldn't play because of their subscription running out. so the specialists enjoyed their break if you would call it wondering exactly what their player was up too. but it was somewhat short lived as the player eventually returned hoping to finish up a few things.

and they did but it took awhile before finally battery emerged decked in her Victory outfit followed shortly by Prophet sporting the body of cyberpunk but no head or helmet. this is what their player was trying to do with much frustration as to get the last half finished.

Meanwhile in that time their player had levelled up and unlocked some of the specialist all the way up to spectre,even giving them some New outfits. but that was it, Ruin wondered what the others where up to exactly he knew they where all doing there own thing or waiting bored out there minds for their player to return once again. and hope they get taste of the battlefield though dying several times and re-spawning several more was somewhat a pain. hell he himself couldn't remember the last time he 'died' in battle.

ruin sighed finishing up as he wiped the sweat from his brow as he took off the mask and headed for a much deserved shower at least one thing he can do while waiting is at least keep fit and clean though he was going to probably get dirty again in the battlefield IF the player chooses them as their specialist. most likely not though.

walking to his own personal bathroom he closed and locked the door behind him after stripping down he turned on the shower watching the water flow and heat up stepping in he let the water run down his well muscled body. ruin was fit with not much fat on his body he wasn't as tall as prophet but then again he was about the same height give or take a few inches. squeezing some shower gel into his hand he lathered his body carefully as he grabbed a sponge and started to wash himself,seeming to relax at the sound and heat of the water. letting his mind drift a bit as he grabbed a back scrubber and scrubbed his back sometimes he wished he had someone to wash his back for him his face flushed and he shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.

after his shower was completed and ruin was dried and redressed in something casual this time,simple blue jeans and a black muscle tank top that clung to his fit form as he rested himself on his bed as he read while listening to some soft music. though his reading was interrupted by a soft knock on his door ruin sighed giving a firm "come in" before turning his attention to the door which opened to reveal battery dressed casually in army camouflage pants and a black tank top with a jacket leisurely tied around her slip fit waist.

"Battery" he asked raising an eyebrow. Battery folded her arms,"Erin" she stated flatly with a roll of her eyes. "My name is Erin,Donnie not battery" she said as she made her way over. "Okay,Erin what do you want?" he asked looking up from his book. "Well,I was wondering if you wanted to I don't know hang out it's been real boring here and all the others are busy doing their own thing" she stated. Donnie aka Ruin blinked,"I guess I have nothing better to do,so what do you want to do?",Erin thought for a moment,"Want to go to one of them cabins outside of hunted? it's not like anyone can bother us there". she stated. Don/Donnie nodded,"Sounds like fun"don stated with a smile as he got up towering a bit over Erin since she was a good few ft shorter than him. and only came up to just a little but higher than chest level at best.

-Time skip: few hours later-

At the cabin the both of them chatted idly as they both made themselves comfortable,laying out a couple sleeping bags since the cabin didn't really have any real furniture. the map was oddly silent as they where both in their players hunted somewhere within a private match. off of multiplayer and out of harms way. "well it sure beats laying around all day,but I could use a run or something,I'm bored as hell" said donnie as he stepped out of the cabin. Erin looked at him,"a run sounds like fun to you maybe,I'm going for a surf" she stated as she pulled out a cube from her belongings and pushed a button as if on cue a metallic looking light weight surfboard materialized,she stuck it in the sand before going into the cabin to change into something more suitable. Donnie watched her go back inside the cabin,before grabbing his own change of clothes and walking into the other cabin now dressed in simple steel grey swim trunks his dog tags hung around his neck as he applied some sunscreen even though the 'sun' wasn't real neither was the whole map but to donnie it felt real. after he was finished he took off for a small jog.

While he was jogging,erin came out of the cabin dressed in a simple one piece red and steel grey bathing suit her own dog tags around her neck as she watched donnie jog in the distance she picked up her surf board after applying a little sunscreen she went out into the water to surf enjoying the feeling of the wind through her hair.

-Meanwhile back at the safe house-

Seraph looked like she wanted to crush something in her mechanical hand,but refrained from doing so Ruin (don) and Battery (Erin) had left earlier leaving herself and a few others behind,with the exception of Prophet who was still not back yet even though the player had since stopped playing the game he was no where in sight. Seraph really didn't care what he did or really any of the other specialist safe for one in particular,though he seemed to loathe her she on the other hand had mixed emotions about him. she hid her face behind a red mask still wearing her freak-show themed head and gangsta outfit she always hid her face behind a mask,not that she didn't like her face or the way she looked,she was really quite beautiful but she refused to show anyone much like a certain specialist. she ran her non mechanical hand through her black hair. retreating to her room making sure no one followed her as she locked the door behind her.

taking off her barrette and undoing the bun that held her black hair in place she slipped off the combat boots on her feet before making her way into her on suite bathroom locking the door behind her,she definitely didn't want anyone sneaking up on her that's for sure,but anything could happen. as she slowly stripped out of her outfit she was thankful her arm was waterproof now clad in only her pitch black sports bra and undies she sighed slipping off the sports bra she slowly wiped the make-up from her face allowing her brown eyes to shine she contemplated taking off the mask but was weary as she almost never took it off if she wanted to change it she'd do it quickly and out of sight. she glared at her reflection in the mirror she slipped off her underwear before turning on the shower and slipping in the mask was waterproof as where all of her outfits and make-up. slowly she reached up but stopped herself deciding to focus on washing herself instead as the water ran down her slim fit body. placing her hand on the cool tile she took a deep breath. before continuing on. she wondered if she was just being paranoid at this point then again there was two others who didn't even show there faces at all,but that was their business.

after she finished her shower she pulled on her white robe sitting down on her bed she slowly reached up but stopped herself as two sharp knocks where heard on her door she glared at the door with brown piercing eyes. "I'm busy,either go away or leave a message" she stated almost bored through her mask. there was silence for a moment before an envelope was slid under the door followed by retreating footsteps. Seraph blinked once then twice before slowly making her way over she gingerly picked it up slowly before opening it at a safe distance she slowly pulled out the letter. eyes skimming over the words carefully. 'is this for real' she thought to herself a very small blush crept on her face but she forced it back down.
