AAGGHH! That was one loud gunshot, I mean, it really crapped up my ears. All the more when I'm wearing a bulletproof helmet. Okay, so to recap what sarge told us, we need to find teammates as soon as possible, shoot out any opponents we see or make a pact with them, and there's gonna be some kind of a pack that's gonna spawn with one of us.(A/N: I'm pretty sure that summarise the last chapter enough.)

Cato: Where am I even?

I looked around to see where was I.

Cato: Oh, I'm at Elmore Hill. I don't remember this part of it at all.

Sometimes that's just sad, right? Talkin to yourself when no one else was around. Or was it? Cuz I found a pack sitting out in the open and I heard footsteps coming towards it. I hid in the bushes and saw a small guy coming, like a bread or something. Maybe it's Anton. Heck, don't care. Shoot him! But some mistakes were made. A hole was shown at the spot where I hit him.

Cato: That's not good. Is he even wearing a bulletproof suit?

I just left him on the ground and hope that he gets transported back.

Cato: Hope he's gonna be good before school.

I went over to the pack and tried to see if I can get into it. It said "Identification Code required", so I pressed out "Charlie Team Three". Suddenly, it let out a warning and yelled out "Hack!". It didn't last long, but it gave out a small explosion and opened up. There were earpiece, and even a health pack which can only be used once. I took it all out, but when I was about to someone was already behind me. With a gun behind my back.

?: Thanks for giving me your team's equipment.

Cato: It's not my team's, I hacked it, apparently.

?: Well, I'm gonna take you out anyway.

Cato: No you won't!

I quickly grabbed the gun and pointed back at the one who tried to shoot me. Then, he/she pulled out a knife.

Cato: Okay, so we're both all alone. Rather than we kill each other and one or neither of us gets to continue, why not we make an alliance and let the both of us play on?

?: Can I trust you?

Cato: Okay, we'll put down our weapons and try to talk this out.

We put down our weapons and tried to sort this out.

Cato: Okay, so who are you exactly.

?: Well, I can't give you my name, but I can only show you this.

He/She showed me the wrist watch containing his/her info. Then, it popped up. It showed "Alpha Team Seven" but when I looked at the profile, I was shocked. This is my own sister, Amy.

Cato: Oh, shit.

Amy: Why? What's wrong?

I showed her my info on my wrist watch. She can't believe it either.

Amy: Oh my God! I can't believe it's you!

Cato: Neither can I, but we gotta keep quiet.

Amy: Oh, okay.

Cato: Kinda coincidental, don't ya think?

Amy: What do you mean?

Cato: Well, like, we literally spawned at the same place. I didn't even know you joined.

Amy: Yeah, I'd be surprised if "he" was here.

Cato: Who's "he"?

Amy: You know very well who I'm talking about.

I don't really know who's she talking about, so I just nodded.

Cato: Okay, anyway we gotta keep moving.

Amy: But where? I've never been in this part of town for a long time.

Cato: There, Rainbow Factory. We can at least find something there.

Amy: Okay, but mind sharing a part of that pack you just hacked.

Cato: Oh, right. Here. I'll try contacting my team.

I tried to get a signal on my team.

Cato: All units Team Three, are ya there?

Nobody responded...

Cato: Oh, well. Guess they still haven't found the pack yet. Or maybe it's because I took this from another team's pack.

Amy: Yeah, that may be why it's not working.

Cato: Then, we gotta move.

(Rainbow Factory)

We made it to the main road leading to the building, but we split up into two sides of the road. There were two guys guarding the road, one on each side, keeping a sharp eye on what's going on. We hid in the bushes behind them so that they can't see us when we attack them. I waited for Amy to attack the first guy, then I took out the second. Then, we head inside and shut the door behind us slowly.

Amy: Wow, this place looks wrecked.

Cato: Guess someone's been here, or is still here.

We were hoping to find something, maybe like another health pack. But every single inch of this place is gone. Table's all empty. Locker's swept clean. We went up floors until we hit the tenth floor. We got tired and decided to rest there. Until..

Cato: Hold up. Someone's there.

We heard talking inside the room. 4 guys loaded with assault rifles.

Amy: I'll take one on the right, you take one on the left. Once done, I pop a smoke bomb so that they'll get confused. Sound good?

Cato: Yeah, we'll do that. I get first shot this time. Better aim at the torso.

Amy: I know that.

I aimed on the left while Amy was getting ready to shoot on the right. We both pulled the trigger and two of them were shot down.

Cato: Now!

Amy popped a smoke and we spread out. They had no idea where we went, until I shot one of them at the leg. With that as a distraction, Amy shot another down from the other side. When the last man looked at her, I took the opportunity to shoot him.

Cato: Nice work.

Amy: You too.

Not long after, an entire team of six put smoke in the room and zip lined all the way in from another building. Looks like we caught their attention. They were putting close beads on us. I tried to contact the others.

Cato: All units Team Three, this is Charlie! Where the hell are you guys?!

Gumball: Golf to Charlie, we're in front of our house. How are you doing?

Cato: I'm taking heavy fire in the Rainbow Factory with Alpha Team Seven! We need some backup!

Gumball: I got Delta here. We'll be there as soon as we can!

Cato: Okay, so my team's about to get here, but it's gonna take a while.

Amy: Then we gotta move!

I noticed a crack on the floor near where we were standing. Maybe..

Cato: I got an idea.

Amy: Good, cuz I'm freakin' drained right now.

Cato: Here, punch on this crack.

Amy: Wouldn't that make it easier for them to chase us?

Cato: You got a better plan?

Without hesitation, Amy punched the floor like she wanted to kill someone. After several hits, we crashed down one floor. We made a break for it and ran up the stairs instead of going down. Luckily, they were trying to figure out what happened to us at the place where we fell.

Amy: Why are we going up when we should be going down?

Cato: Just run, I got a plan!

As we were running, our wrist watches beeped and said "The Rainbow Factory will be rainbows no more, so better get out of there." and it showed a countdown from 10.

Amy: Oh, great. Now we gotta go back down!

Cato: Who said we can only go back down?

We stopped at floor sixteen because the stairs leading up was barricaded.

Cato: Okay, we gotta place claymores on the stairs first.

We put two claymores near the door and one on the staircase leading to the door. Then, we looked out the window and saw another building next to the factory.

Cato: Okay, now we try to get enough speed and crash through the window. If we build enough momentum, we can get onto the roof of the building next to the factory there.

Then we heard people coming up the staircase and said..

Alliance Team Captain: If we go down, you're going down with us!

Alliance Team Member #1: We know you're up there!

Just right then, someone got hit by the claymore.

Alliance Team Member #2: Shit!

Cato: Time to move!

I threw a smoke grenade at the staircase to distract them, and surprisingly, it was going throughout the room almost all the way to the edge. We ran as fast as we can and jumped all the way. I managed to get up top and rolled to stick the landing, but Amy was hanging on the edge.

Amy: Charlie!

One of them ran to the edge but fell to the ground hard because of the thick smoke. I looked at my wrist watch and the countdown went to zero. Just then, the floor above where we were let out a large exploding sound as if the floor was rigged. Bits were landing everywhere and I can tell the building's gonna collapse any time soon. I rushed to Amy and pulled her out.

Amy: Thanks.

Cato: Come on, let's go! In the staircase!

We ran to the staircase for cover and before we know it, the entire building fell to the ground.

Cato: Oh, God. I'm tired.

Amy: I thought running was your thing.

Cato: Not if you had to help someone heavy off an edge of the roof.

Amy: I'm not that heavy.

Cato: With that kind of body appearance, it's a bit obvious.

Amy: No need to think what I think you're thinking!

Cato: I'm not. It's called stating the obvious.

Amy: Hmph. Whatever, we should move.

Cato: There should be something around here.

We searched the building to the ground but we didn't find anything useful. This made Amy as furious as hell.

Amy: Oh, man. There's nothing here that's helpful to the game.

Amy punched the wall so hard it let out a sound. But the sound was different from the others.

Cato: Wait.

I tried knocking on different parts of the wall Amy punched. There was a huge gap that made a sound different from the other parts. There was also a crack at the bottom of the wall.

Cato: Hold on. I wanna try something.

I walked a few steps back and kicked the wall with everything I got. The wall shattered and let out a room, like a closet. There was a bag full of grenades, claymores, and C4s.

Amy: I think I should carry this. Since I'm so heavy.

Cato: Oh, come on. Don't get too bummed out.

While searching around for more stuff, I found a body armour.

Cato: Why's there a body armour here?

Amy: Oh, that's what my sergeant told me about.

Cato: What?

Amy: He said that it can protect you from bullets, but only one shot. Once you got hit, you won't get out of the game, but the armour will fall apart.

Cato: Okay. So, how do I put it on?

Amy: Check your wrist watch.

I looked at my wrist watch and it told me everything about the armour. Then a decision app popped up. "Where the body armour?" It said. So, I pressed "Yes". Next thing I knew, the armour went into my body.

Cato: Okay, so guess we're done here?

Amy: Yeah, let's move.

(Near the Gaming Centre)

Cato: Well, for a gaming centre, this place has nothing useful for a game that you live in.

Amy: How many are down now?

Cato: Can you tell?

Amy: (looking up) Yeah, you can check on the leaderboard.

Cato: We got a leaderboard?!

Amy: Yeah, look up.

I looked up at the sky and saw a leaderboard showing up there.

Cato: Wow, there was a lot Sarge didn't tell me about.

Amy: Okay, so out of 50 people, 13 are out so far.

Cato: Wow, really? This won't take long at all at this rate.

Amy: Two from my team are out.

Cato: How about my team?

Amy: You still got a full pack.

Cato: I'm impressed. I actually thought that at least one of them is out by what's happened to us so far.

Suddenly, someone shot me from behind. Amy got surprised and decided to take cover first. I just lied down there. The guy thought that Amy ran off and left me, so he went to take a look at me. Just when he got close enough and tried to stab me with his knife, I tried to resist his attempt. Amy then shot him directly at the head and came towards me.

Amy: Are you alright?

Cato: Yeah, but I'm totally disadvantaged. My right arm got shot.

Amy: You had a health pack, right? Use it.

Cato: But what happens if we really need it?

Amy: Well, we need it now. Come on.

Cato: Okay.

I took my health pack and synced it to my wrist watch. It showed "Apply healthcare pack to user?". So, I tapped "Yes". In an instant, my arm was functioning again.

Cato: Okay, now we can go back to what we were doing.

Amy: It's gonna take a long time to find our teammates faster.

Cato: Try searching these houses over here.

Amy: Alright.

We searched the few houses that were laid out near the Gaming Centre. We found absolutely nothing. It's starting to get on my nerves.

Cato: Oh, man!

Amy: I know. What should we do?

Cato: The only thing we can do now is to keep moving.

Amy: Okay, so we should head-

Amy was cut of by a shot. Now she got shot by a sniper, but at the left arm.

Amy: Agh!

Cato: Shit! Sniper! Let's move inside!

We rushed into on of the houses and hope that guy lost us.

Cato: It's no good. We gotta move out back.

Amy: Okay.

We ran out the back and ran as far away as possible from the place. We ended up in another row of houses.

Cato: Okay, we lost the sniper. You good?

Amy: Yeah, just the left arm. Now I really wished we had another healthcare pack.

I heard through my earpiece that my team tried to contact me, but it was just an interruption signal. Later on, it started working

Gumball: Charlie, do you copy?

Cato: Charlie here. Where are you?

Gumball: We're at Joyful Burger. We're on our way to the Rainbow Factory.

Cato: Oh, Rainbow Factory's no more. We actually moved out already. We're now near the Gaming Centre.

Darwin: Oh, man. That's way further.

Gumball: Alright. We got Romeo here as well. We'll get to you quick. Any damage?

Cato: No, but Alpha Team Seven got shot at the left arm.

Gumball: Okay, Golf out.

Amy: So now what?

Cato: They're still trying to find me. How about your team?

Amy: I'll try.

Amy tried to contact her team...

Amy: All units Team Seven, do you copy?

...but there was nobody there.

Amy: Team Seven, can you hear me?

Cato: Um.. Alpha. I think you should stop.

Amy: Why?

Cato: Look up.

Amy looked up and saw the leaderboard. When she saw her team, she was shocked. Her entire team is gone. She's the last one left.

Cato: Looks like I need to help you a lot this time.

Amy: Yeah, you better.

Cato: Don't worry, I won't stab you at the back.

Amy: Come on, we should check around these houses.

We looked around the first house and found nothing, until I head to the garage and turned on the lights.

Cato: Um.. Alpha, better get to the garage and take a look at this.

Amy came and she couldn't believe her eyes as much as I did. There was a small truck that the soldiers use during the war, that has a machine gun on top of it. The only difference is, it uses your gun rather than using a machine gun that was already placed there.

Amy: Okay, so first off who's gonna drive.

Cato: You're down to one arm, so I guess I should be the one driving.

Amy: Then, I'm gonna be the one using that machine gun thing over there.

Cato: That's the plan.

Amy: So where's the keys?

Cato: Over there. Hope on.

I grabbed the keys and jumped into the truck, started the engine and the garage door opened.

Amy: So how am I suppose to use this?

Cato: You put your gun on the platform and put your ammo on the space below it. It'll auto-reload once all the bullets are gone.

Amy: Okay.

Cato: This is my first time driving, and I'm using an XBox controller for a steering wheel and the gas and break pedals. Hold on!

I pressed the gas button and we drove off.

And that's chapter 21. Hope you guys liked it. Actually, to me, it was kinda bit off to a rough start. But, I'm an average writer. I'm not great, though I wish I could say I'm amazing and awesome. Anyway, thanks so much for reading this chapter. There's gonna be more soon. Fav and follow this if you think it's amazing or awesome. Fist bump to all of ya! *fist bump* I'll see all of you in the next chapter! Assalamualaikum and bu-bye!

(I think I'm gonna stop doing jacksepticeye's outro, cuz it's not cool copying someone else's image. Don't ya think? So, I decided to make up my own outro. If you don't know what an outro is, it's actually the things you say at the end of something, like this fanfic I'm doing right now. Tell me what you think about it. Or just put in the comments and rate out of 5.)
