Chapter 1 - From Tour to Battle Royale

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you my latest and greatest invention...Virtual Reality Chocolate!" Mr. Wonka proudly exclaimed as he and Charlie led Augustus, Veruca, Violet and Mike around the Virtual Reality Testing Room. It was a large, relatively dim room that featured a glowing blue apparatus in the very center that resembled a flying saucer. The only other light source came from a ring of blue lights around the room's circumference. Below the saucer, there was a raised, circular platform. Lastly, the far end of the room was dominated by an enormous screen.

"Is this like Television Chocolate in any way?" Mike inquired. "If so, please don't shrink me down like you did fifteen years ago."

"Don't worry, I can assure you that this invention is perfectly safe," Mr. Wonka replied to the apprehensive computer genius. "Besides, when we try this out, even I will be taking part in the experiment." He then noticed that Mike was on his phone. "What are you doing on there? Just curious."

"He's been playing a game called Call of Duty Mobile for the past month or so," Violet said to him. "It's actually really good! There's an extensive multiplayer mode with all sorts of classic maps, or areas, from prior Call of Duty games, as well as a battle royale mode!"

Mr. Wonka cocked his head to one side. "Battle Royale? Isn't that the name of a Japanese movie?"

"Yes," Mike replied, temporarily looking up from his phone towards Mr. Wonka. "The premise behind a battle royale game is that it involves a large amount of players, and whoever is the last one alive wins the game. You must have heard of Fortnite by now. It's one of those games."

"Who hasn't heard of Fortnite?" Mr. Wonka scoffed. "Everyone and their dead old goose is talking about it! Speaking of video games, that's exactly what Virtual Reality Chocolate is for. Our virtual reality system emphasizes the virtual and the reality! It uses fifth-generation Television Chocolate technology to transport you into any movie or video game of your choice, and you literally get to be a part of the action!"

"Is Television Chocolate still around?" Veruca asked, and Charlie shook his head.

"Unfortunately, no," he replied. "It was only around for a month or so. Due to the fact that our sales plummeted since people were simply hoarding our chocolate for free, we scrapped that idea, and after several years of brainstorming and testing, we decided to use this technology for recreational purposes, only within the factory. The screen is big enough that objects and people will actually retain their normal size. In other words, you will not get shrunken down to four inches tall." Mike Teavee loudly sighed in relief upon hearing this.

"In regards to what Virtual Reality Chocolate does," Charlie continued. "To us, it would look like a person is on the screen, like how most video games are. We would only see him or her as if we were looking at a screen. But to the person inside, he or she gets to roam around a fully three-dimensional, virtual world, that feels just as real as the physical world. Therefore, the virtual and the reality are seamless. Allow me to demonstrate with this little robot."

As if on cue, a small, humanoid robot walked up to Mr. Wonka and Charlie. It was about the size of a four-year-old child.

"This little 'bot will now be transported into an arena, where it will engage in battle with other robots," Charlie continued. He then directed his gaze towards the robot. "I want you to go towards the teleporter, to show our guests how this technology works, got it?" The robot nodded, and it walked towards the center of the room and onto the platform. It stopped once it was directly underneath the saucer-shaped teleporter. A bright, green light began to shine onto the robot.

"The robot's dimensions are currently being scanned, measured, and analyzed," Charlie said. "This system is so advanced that it even works on moving objects. We could make this robot do tricks and dance around if we wanted to, while it's being scanned, and the machine wouldn't be fooled. The physical size of the object will never change." He snapped his fingers, and the robot began to dance around like a ballerina. Despite that, the scanner continued to work.

Augustus, Veruca, and Mike continued to stare at the robot in awe as it began to disintegrate into tiny bits, which ascended upwards and into the teleporter. In just four seconds, the robot had completely disappeared, and the green light faded away.

"It's gone!" Violet exclaimed. "Where is it now?"

"It's being pieced back together on the screen," Charlie told him. "It happens really fast, so come on!" He excitedly ran towards the screen, and the others rushed to join him.

A square arena that resembled a tabletop appeared on the screen, along with three life-sized robots. The game displayed the arena from a top-down perspective, and the robots were stationed at the bottom-right, top-left, and top-right corners.

"Those three robots over there will be our robot's opponents," Charlie said just as a fourth robot materialized on the bottom-left side of the arena. "The robot that just appeared was the one that we sent via the teleporter."

"Get ready to fight," a booming voice sounded, "in three, two, one!"

The four robots charged towards the center of the table, and chaos ensued as the robots violently punched and kicked each other in an attempt to knock their opponents off the arena.

"As you can see, we're watching all the action from a third-person perspective," Charlie said. "The robots, on the other hand, are seeing everything in first-person, in full 3D. To them, that arena is just as real as the room we're standing in right now."

The robot that was sent to the screen by Charlie suddenly performed a roundhouse kick, sending the other three robots flying out of the arena, and confetti rained down as the robot performed a victory dance.

"So, vhat happens now?" Augustus asked.

"Well," Charlie answered, "the robot that won is offered the chance to either keep playing, or to exit the game and return to the real world. It looks like it will choose to do the latter." Sure enough, the robot vanished from the screen, and it slowly materialized onto the platform beneath the teleporter before it darted towards a charging station.

"What will become of the other robots?" Violet asked, eager for more information.

"The other three robots are now in the Digital Realm," Mr. Wonka replied. "It's where all the game data is stored when it's not in the physical realm."

"But what if Mike decides to play his game?" Violet inquired out of curiosity. "Everything is online, so everybody who loses just goes back to the in-game lobby. Surely everything should work out in the end, right? As in, will we all come out the same size we are right now?"

"It should be able to work that way," Charlie said. "As far as I know, Mike would just have to log out of the app once we're done, and we will be transported back here. Besides, if Willy Wonka himself is taking part in this, we can guarantee that everything will be perfectly safe."

Mr. Wonka wiped his forehead and adjusted his black top hat. "I can't believe I'm going to say this since a similar event eliminated Mike Teavee from the original tour, but...let's boogie to the teleporter! I've tested out many inventions for myself, so this will just be another one!"

"Mike, just place your phone here," Charlie instructed as he pointed towards a table with a charging pad built into it. Mike Teavee did so, and the giant screen at the end of the room instantly displayed the Battle Royale screen that was on his phone. In the center of the screen, there stood a soldier with a rust-colored metal suit, a protective helmet, and an AK-47 rifle tucked under his right arm. His username, which was positioned directly below his avatar, was miketeaveeno1.

Everyone stood on the central platform underneath the saucer-shaped teleporter, but not before Mike reached for his phone. He selected Double FPP Mode, which meant that everyone would be playing in teams of two players each, and the game's camera would show a first-person perspective on the screen. He then pressed the yellow Start button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, and the game began to load.

"Gather round!" Mr. Wonka announced as a bright green light began to illuminate right above their heads.

"I feel all tingly inside!" Veruca said while her body was being scanned by the system. "Make it stop!"

"We can't," Charlie replied. "Once the scanner turns on, there's no way to turn it off until the process is complete."

Suddenly, the world began to spin around them, and they were whisked through a tunnel of nothing but ones and zeroes at what felt like the speed of light. Finally, their feet slammed down onto solid ground, right in the middle of what appeared to be a military training camp. There were a series of obstacle courses to their right for soldiers-in-training, three aircraft hangars to their left, and all sorts of isolated concrete buildings, warehouses, and military vehicles dotted the nearby landscape. The footsteps of other players began to make themselves known, and as more and more players entered the game, the area quickly became a battle zone.

"Where...are we?" Veruca asked while trying to shield her eyes from the bright sunlight.

"I think we're at the Practice Range," Mike answered. "Right now, we are completely invulnerable to any type of damage, since all we're doing is waiting for ninety-four other players to drop in."

Veruca gasped. "You mean there will be a hundred players in total?!"

Mike nodded. "Correct. Now, look down at your feet." Everyone did so, and sure enough, there were small knives positioned there for them to acquire, to use as their sole weapon for the time being. The blades were only about four inches long, but they appeared to be razor-sharp. They picked up the knives before Mike continued with, "We must select our class right now. Just look at your heads-up display and you'll see a list of what they are." The available classes were as follows:

Scout

Sensor Dart- Shoot a Sensor Dart that can see hostile positions in the radar map.

Tracker - Shows enemy footprints for several seconds.

Clown

Toy Bomb - Summons zombies that only attack units near them.

Anti-zombie - Reduces zombies' awareness distance to 15 meters.

Medic

Medical Station - Places a medical station that heals you and allies continuously.

Medic - Reduces time required for healing and bringing back knocked-down teammates by 25%.

Ninja

Grapple Hook - Shoot a grapple hook that pulls you to the target.

Dead Silence - Reduces sounds when moving.

Defender

Transform Shield - Place a transformable and flashing shield.

Reinforced - Reduces damage from all sources except gunfire by 20%.

Mechanic

EMP Drone - Call an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) drone that does continuous EMP interference to hostiles.

Engineer - Grants augmented sight, making vehicles, hostile traps, and equipment visible within 80 meters.

"I choose Clown!" Mr. Wonka proclaimed.

I figured you would, Mike mentally replied as he selected the Mechanic class, which was best suited for his technological expertise.

Mr. Wonka noticed that a little blue robot bomb appeared in his holster. "Ooh! I guess I can throw this, and it'll summon zombies?" He grabbed it with his right hand and threw it into the air with all of his strength. Eventually, it landed on the ground, and while it began to bounce up and down and play upbeat music, Mr. Wonka intently watched for a horde of zombies to appear from out of nowhere, but none came.

"Your bomb won't work properly until the match has begun," Mike told him. "We're just waiting for the total number of players to reach one-hundred."

"I'll be a Ninja," Violet said while Mike and Mr. Wonka were conversing with each other. "I'm flexible, determined to win, and since I'm the shortest person here so far, it'll give me an edge when it comes to evading and outsmarting my opponents."

"I'll be zhe Defender," Augustus announced as he selected his class.

"Well, I guess that leaves me with either the Medic or the Scout class to choose from," Veruca said. She approached Charlie, who still hadn't selected one of the two remaining classes. She picked up a small coin that was on the ground. "Heads is Scout, Tails is Medic. Here you go." She handed the coin to Charlie who tossed it into the air.

"Heads," Charlie said. "That leaves you as the Medic, and me as the Scout. All set."

A red box containing a medical station dropped onto the ground near Veruca's feet, and as for Charlie, a tiny dart shimmered into existence inside his holster. He threw it onto the ground, and a red burst of light emanated from where it landed. Suddenly, orange footprints appeared all around him on the ground, and it barely took him any time to realize that they were the footprints of his enemies. As if that wasn't enough, the enemies were also now marked with red dots on his map!

"Guys!" Mike announced. "We are playing a Doubles match, which means that each of us must select a partner right now."

Violet immediately raised her hand.

"I've always played this game with Mike online," she said, "so I'm choosing someone different. I'll choose to be with...Charlie."

"Bye for now, Veruca," Charlie said, giving the British girl a friendly farewell wave as he approached the blonde ninja. He watched as Violet suddenly targeted a nearby building with her grapple hook. Once it lodged itself into the wall, it pulled her through the air and towards the building at high speed.

While Violet was happily zipping around from building to building using her newly acquired ninja skills, Veruca was still trying to decide whom her partner would be, now that Charlie was chosen to be Violet's teammate instead of hers.

"I'll choose Mike," she proclaimed, boldly strutting towards the person who was most adept at this game. This meant one thing for Mr. Wonka, however...

"I guess you'll be my teammate," Augustus said, beckoning the chocolatier to meet up with him. Mr. Wonka hesitantly walked over to where Augustus stood.

At least he doesn't look like a fat snob anymore, Mr. Wonka thought as the German ginger practiced his skill by placing a large metal wall in front of himself. Augustus crouched down behind it, and with a newly acquired M4 assault rifle, he began spraying deadly bullets all over his currently invincible foes.

"Welcome to Battle Royale!" the captain's voice suddenly announced via everyone's headsets. "The match is about to start!"

"Let's DO this, Charlie!" Violet said with determination. "We'll be on the plane very soon. I hope you're not afraid of skydiving."

"I've had plenty of experience doing so in the Exploding Candy Room," Charlie replied with a grin, watching as ninety-nine other players continued milling about the Practice Range. "This should be fun!"

Author's note: I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of my latest story! I got myself a 64GB iPhone XS last month since my 32GB iPhone 7 was running low on storage. With double the amount of storage on my new iPhone, I decided to try COD Mobile, and I'll admit, I'm addicted to it. I've also been wanting to write a battle royale-style fic for some time, and just last week it occurred to me that I should combine the two and write a CatCF/COD crossover. Feel free to review, and stay tuned for the next chapter, which will be uploaded tomorrow or on Sunday! :)
