Prologue

I came home from school starting the summer, I rode my bike to my house parked it in my garage and walked into the house walked right by my room mate and headed for the x-box. I picked up the controller and signed on.

I was a Spartan in halo 2 and had red and crimson on my suit. My sign was the skull king and my gamer tag was Spiked Hand. I checked my friends list to see if anyone was on. Both of my friends were on Ronny27 was one, he was a Spartan also but had green and gold on his suit and his sign was smiley. The other was shade shadow38 he was a Elite with steel and sage armor and his sign was Drone.

I invited both of them to join my party for a team slayer match making game. They both came, and before the game started we checked each others levels. Ronny27's was only level 4 in this type of game, mine was level 8 and shade shadow38's was level 12.

We spoke through our headsets.

Ronny27: What's up?
Spiked Hand: Bored Ronny27:oh… Spiked Hand: you?
Ronny27: same shade shadow38: Can we get going now?
Ronny27: have patience!
Spiked Hand: ready?
Ronny27:YES!
shade shadow38: yup!

We started the countdown, 5,4,3,2,1!
Most of the time it takes at least two minutes to start up the game, but this time it went way to fast to be normal. Three other players joined. He was named Our Future and he had two guests. "what the Hell?" I thought " were not in team training!"

The game was set on lockout , and we begun. I had my SMG and Ronny27 watching the back, and shade shadow38 went off to the far side of the area. I heard a distant rocket launcher fire.

Ronny27: WHAT THE FUCK THERES NO ROCKET LAUNCHER ON LOCKOUT!
Lost the lead!
Our Future killed shade shadow38 Spiked Hand: Don't panic! We can just leave… I turned around to see Our Future an Elite with all white armor and a rocket launcher mounted on his shoulder.
Our Future: bye now!
Double Kill!
Ronny27 killed by Our Future Spiked Hand killed by Our Future

I respawned near shade shadow38.

Spiked Hand: I'm getting us out of this game!
shade shadow: why?
Spiked Hand: Can't you see there hackers?
shade shadow: …

I opened up the menu and selected leave game. It started to load but then a message said failed to load please try again. I looked around and fired everywhere with my SMG wasting all the bullets and be transported to this all green area with numbers all over. I looked around desperately for my friends but could not find them.

There standing with two rocket launchers, stood Our Future.

Spiked Hand: What the hell is this?
Our Future: My world

I threw my grenades at him but they did not damage him one bit.
Our Future: You can't kill me or escape this game!
Spiked Hand: I could turn of my system!
Our Future: Go ahead try it!
Spiked Hand: okay then!

I reached for the x-box button and pushed it, Nothing happened.
Our Future: Now I will win for the 45,000 time!

He shot his rocket launchers both coming right at me. I dodged as they flew right by me and into the empty green landscape. He seemed to lock on to me. " shit!" I thought

The two rockets hit me dead on causing me to go flying.

Game Over!

I looked at the game overview to find my friends were offline. I looked at Our Futures Level.

It was 1000.
