Yami flicked his finger on the right trigger and to my horror, headshotted the final person on the opposing team. "Whoops, sorry about the brains!"
"Stop quoting Baird. That was that guy's kill," I seethed with rage. You see, generally in Gears Of War 2 or in an online game in general, when a character is down and crawling away to try and save themselves, the polite code of conduct is whoever downed him gets to finish him off. I make a few exceptions like if I am too far away or I'm too busy with other enemies, or I get downed myself, where I proceed to tell my teammate to pick him- or herself up my kill instead. Unfortunately for Yami, he stole my friend's kill when he was right next to the guy. And since it's on MY gamer card, I look bad for it. "You know the commandments."
"There are no commandments."
"Unofficial commandments, dumbass!" I yelled, "Thou shalt not steal kills like a noob!"
Yugi looked up from my DS, which I said he could play, and shook his head. "Yami, you NEVER break the sacred commandments of Gears 2. There's also, 'Thou shalt not Chainsaw excessively,' and, 'Thou shalt not steal all the ammunition crates in Horde'."
Ryou nodded, "It's sacrilegious."
Yami shook his head and rolled his eyes and while he went to the bathroom, I formulated a plan, took control and messaged the team an apology and a plot for revenge...
---
"Revive me!"
...
"A little help here!?"
...
"REVIVE ME!"
...
I smirked as Yami was assaulted with the shotgun and dropped to the floor dead, then got extremely pissed off as the guy whose kill he stole shotgunned the last guy in the back of the head and won the game. I smirked and observed as Yami got very angry.
"What the HELL!? That guy was RIGHT next to me and he didn't bother to revive me!"
Yugi snickered and Ryou giggled, and after a moment he twigged. I shrugged, knowing the rest of the team could hear us and smiled. "Think of this as payback for stealing his kill." In the background I heard the team laugh at his rather vulgar protests and my answer, and grabbed the microphone back. "Thanks for the favour, boys."
"Anytime, buddy!" came the american accent of my fellow teammate, and a chorus of other voices. I love playing against and with these guys; they still can't believe I'm a girl who actually plays Gears Of War...or Bioshock...or Red Faction: Guerrilla...
I don't understand why Yami was so angry anyway. It was my gamer card that was being used.
I patted him on the shoulder and watched him sulk, then took control of the next round, proceeding to lose at the last minute by being hit by a grenade.
I wouldn't have tried to kill Yami later on if he hadn't pointed out it was my own...
