Fight for Freedom
(a/n) Hello again, glad to see you liked the new chapters; this is the final part of this match for the CTF ladder. Can Kill Switch beat the almighty Thunder Crash? Will Vick eventually get caught? Find out in 'Fight for Freedom'.
I've also decided to make a proper little section to my reviewers who I can never thank enough.
Cursor: I agree, there were a few tactical faults when Kill Switch had the flag, but I mainly just write what pops into my head at the time, and then I use the excuse that they are in the heat of battle and they go with their instincts without really thinking. Heheh, and you'll find out Phoenix is (or isn't) up to in this chapter as well. And as for the failing to see Aryss part, that was either me making Thunder Crash a little too good, or me being crap, which ever suits it best. :) Enjoy.
Dynamis: I will make Kill Switch get pushed to their limits in this match, but even that can sometimes not be enough to beat a 'Godlike' team. Don't worry, you'll find out what happens in this one. Hope you enjoy it.
Baronic: Thanks for the review, again sorry I took so long to update. Your right, I did try to get a good mix of suspense and action in this one. I've put in two hand-to-hand fights that I'm quite proud of too. Hope you enjoy this one :)
Read, review and enjoy! :)
Chapter 14: So close, yet so far...Part 3
Lock panted as he joined Gunther and Vick in the defensive action. There were at least two more Thunder Crash members in their base, it took two to kill John, and as far as Lock could see no kills had been made since.
"Rae, Amon, go and clean out our base, I know there's two of the bastards left so watch out. John, help them out if you can."
lol.
"Amon's down! Follow me John!" Rae shouted in succession.
The radios were silent for a moment; Lock could hear the occasional gunshot ring out through some of the narrower corridors. He glanced at Gunther and Vick every few seconds, just to be safe.
"Double-kill!!" boomed the announcer. "Eat that!" followed shortly after.
"That's my girl!" Lock shouted and laughed. Gunther smiled. Vick rested his weight on his other foot, not realizing that he was leaning of his bad foot. He stumbled and fell on his backside. Quickly getting up and back to his position.
Lock and Gunther looked at each other. A wide grin spread across both of theirs faces; Vick knew they were trying not to laugh. Lock looked at Vick and noticed a slight red dampness on his boot, maybe it was the solution to his embarrassing fall.
"You're foot ok there Vick?" Lock asked. Vick looked up and tried to refrain from making eye contact with him.
"Yeah, yeah it's fine don't worry." Vick replied hurriedly.
"I asked if he wanted it checked out after that match but he said he didn't wanna." Gunther added.
"You sure you don't want it looked at? We don't wanna lose just because somebody didn't want a simple inspection, it'll be nothing don't worry about it." Lock said
"Aww, is our little Vicky-wicky afraid of the doctor?" Gunther said in a childish and patronizing voice. Lock couldn't help but laugh
"Ok fine! I'll take the stupid inspection! So will you guys shut-up now or what?!" Vick lashed back at them.
"Ok good, I'm gonna go try and nab' us another flag, keep up the good work here guys. You need any backup, because I can send John over here if you want. Just say." Lock winked at Gunther and ran off down the left ramp.
"No that's ok!" Gunther shouted his last words at Lock just before he disappeared around the corner.
Phoenix was watching the match from his usual chair frowning and covering his mouth with his hand. He was concentrating deeply on every single fighter in the current match, at the moment he was studying Gunther.
Gunther was a powerful and skilled player, he was vital to Kill Switch's defense operations, and on almost every single occasion when Gunther fell, the flag was taken. Rae was also a slight worry to him, her tactics and accuracy was another powerful asset for the team. Phoenix switched the screen to the next fighter: Malcolm, there was nothing to say about him. The most skilled and deadly man in the tournament, (well, Phoenix didn't think so), and given another shot at him it would be very likely that Malcolm would win.
It was rumoured that Malcolm was going to put in a request to challenge Phoenix in the coming weeks. If it was true then Phoenix would do everything in his power to stop the match taking place.
"Are you finished yet!?" Phoenix shouted and broke his and Erik's concentration. Phoenix had gotten Erik to work constantly at the broken machine ever since the small incident with the Liandri guards, Vick and himself.
Erik hadn't bothered asking Phoenix what had happened with the computer, he daren't ask questions or Phoenix could easily kill him right on the spot, so he reluctantly continued his work, sometimes deliberately going a bit slower than he should. Even Erik didn't like Phoenix messing around the matches.
Phoenix chain of thoughts was again broken by the announcer:
"Blue team takes the lead!!" he boomed. It was Amon who had scored this time; she whooped and laughed all the way from the Red base. She was extremely confident; she even took out 3 Thunder crash members on her way back. Phoenix raised his chin, finished off his drink of water and continued to watch the match.
Amon hopped down left ramp of the Blue base still ecstatic from her contribution. She was really ready to go and she wasn't going to let anybody get in her way. She passed John and he gave her a pat on the back and cheered her on as she rapidly over took him.
John had been ordered just to roam and kill any Thunder Crash team member he came across. Tamika raised her head out of the water and breathed in deeply, John saw her head come up and he quickly made himself scarce.
He poked his head out from behind the boxes, she was only sporting a Bio-rifle, and John had a shock rifle. A quick shock combo could easily finish her off. John took his chance. Tamika fully charged the gun full of the green, oozing waste to the brim. She heard footsteps behind her and swung herself around and released the toxic waste from her weapon.
At the same time John had fired a shock ball and he was heading right on target. John only had a split-second to react before the dangerous material reached his face. He was too late, the ball of goo burst on the side of John's head, knocking him back on one leg and he fired a shot at random.
The shock beam that John fired narrowly connected with the shock ball he fired earlier, and Tamika didn't realize she was going to get hit badly until it was right next to her. It reaction went off, and the large explosion tore Tamika's arms off at the elbow, and threw her across the corridor.
John was flat on his back with the extremely toxic waste burning away at his skull; he was clutching his face and screaming with his legs kicking around in the air. It was the most pain he had ever felt in his life. Unfortunately, Tamika didn't have much ammo, so there wasn't all the much sludge in the tank, but it was still enough to kill somebody with a head shot. John faded out and finally the screaming stopped. What a horrible way to die.
Tamika lived for a few seconds afterwards, crying out a few times when she realized the damage caused by the explosion which resulted in the loss of her arms. She died very soon after.
Rae took a deep breath and dipped her head under the water, it was surprisingly cold, but this wasn't supposed to be a swimming pool. Her light Shock Rifle didn't weigh her down much; she swam freely through the short tunnel that lead underneath the submarine. She brushed some tall pieces of foliage out her face as she entered the main underwater area.
She came up for the some air before she went back down again. She quickly looked around for any signs of action. It was mainly quiet, but suddenly, an explosion rang out as a rocket struck the cold and hollow side of the submarine. Amon didn't know who it was aimed at, but it soon became apparent when Lock, Rae, Riker and Aryss starting exchanging blows.
Amon was just about to dip her head under hopefully get by and into their base using this little incident as a distraction, when a small hand-to-hand fight started right in front her. Amon raised her weapon and was about to fire when Rae gave Aryss and sharp upper-cut with this side of her Shock Rifle and knocked her into the water right where Amon was.
Rae quickly looked down and nearly shot at Amon when she saw her in the water. "I got her!" Amon shouted up at Rae, she smiled and Rae turned to shoot at Riker. Amon dipped her head underwater and aimed her rifle and Aryss who was still recovering in the water from the blow.
She was about to fire when what looked like minigun bullets rained down on Amon and Aryss .Each bullet ripping through the water and leaving a trail of bubbles behind it. Amon raised her rifle above her head to try and protect herself from getting hit. One bullet reflected off the side of the weapon and pierced through the water and hit the submarine.
The bullets stopped coming in, and Aryss used the distraction to lunge at Amon. Amon hadn't lowered her gun in time to shoot before Aryss punched her in the stomach. She let go of the weapon and let it sink to the bottom.
Amon, now free of any weight restrictions, pulled down on Aryss' arms so her face was level with her waist. Amon pulled her leg through the water and kicked her hard in the chin twice. It was hard fighting in the water, everything was a lot slower, but you moved slower as well, so nobody had a real advantage. It was also nearly nigh-on impossible to deliver an exceptionally hard blow without using up a lot of energy.
But both girls did all that was in their power to really hurt each other. Amon still had a grasp on Aryss' arm; she pulled up to her own eye level, the let go and hit her as hard as she could in the jaw. Aryss was pushed up slightly by the blow, but retaliated strongly as she dunked Amon's head further into the water and brought her foot up to where her hands were, which were on top of Amon's head, and consequently, kicked her in the neck and jaw.
Aryss pushed up and took in some air quickly before going back down again. Only to be greeted by a straight punch in the nose from Amon. Blood leaked out and dispersed into the water. Aryss lowered her head back down again and received another blow of the same nature.
Amon used the brief moment to grab some air as well. She managed to take in one full breath before both her legs were pulled together and then tugged underwater, Amon only just managing to get a breath before being dragged back under.
Aryss gave her a pummeling in the stomach for a good 5 seconds, but from this she also lost a lot of energy. Amon took a few seconds to recover and pushed herself through the water towards Aryss.
She grabbed her by the waist and dragged Aryss down even deeper into the water. Bubbles flushed out of Amon's nose as she let go of Aryss' waist and kicked her in the side. Aryss keeled over to the right slightly, Amon went for another kick to the side. Aryss caught her foot.
Amon kicked and tugged her foot around in Aryss' grasp; she had her foot tightly held. Suddenly, Aryss pulled hard on Amon's foot and dragged her through the water towards her, she held her arm out straight and she had a firmly made fist on the end of it.
It happened so fast that all Amon could do was get a solid blow in the chin, she was pushed back again, and then pulled back into her fist. Blood floated out of the side of Amon's mouth with each blow. Aryss went for one last punch when Amon quickly grabbed hold of Aryss' punching arm at the elbow and locked it with both her arms fixed around it.
Now Amon had the upper hand, Amon managed to swing the leg that Aryss was holding back towards her, effectively making Aryss punch herself in the temple. She let go of Amon's foot and Amon instantly pushed her foot through the water and pulled Aryss' arm back at the same time.
Aryss received three solid and flat boots in the face, more blood leaked out slowly out of Aryss' nose and mouth, Amon wiped some of the blood of her own face in the very short moment of calmness. Aryss was already back on the offensive, she grabbed a hold of Amon's shoulders and spun herself around she was horizontal in the water and used Amon's face to push off and into the water, using both her sharp heeled boots on Amon's face.
Amon spluttered and coughed up blood. She really felt that one and it hurt a lot. She clutched her face and wiped off whatever she could of the blood that was yet to disperse in the water. Amon's gritted her teeth and her eyes turned into mere slits of her face.
She lunged at Aryss angry and as confident as ever. She went for a kick to the side, but Aryss caught it again in her firm grip. "Not this time bitch!" Amon shouted into the water, Aryss couldn't hear what she said but it was rather self explanatory when Amon spun herself around on her locked foot and heeled Aryss right in the temple.
Aryss let go of her foot once more and Amon finally went for her throat. Aryss was very shaken up from the blow and wasn't expecting another attack directly afterwards. Amon got a very firm grasp around her throat and squeezed tightly, air bubbles pouring out of Aryss' mouth at an alarming rate.
Amazingly, Aryss got the strength to give Amon to solid kick to the side and then pushed her away. Amon got a firm shove back in the water. She looked right into the eyes of Aryss and lunged yet again.
This time, Aryss didn't react; she just took blow after blow from Amon. 'Why isn't she reacting!?' Amon asked herself in her mind. Suddenly she realized when she had to pull Aryss' body down to stop it floating. She had drowned, and then, Amon felt the sharp and agonizing burning pain in her chest, she desperately needed air. She used all the energy she had left to power her way to the surface, barely making it.
She breathed in heavily and spluttered out some water and coughed un-controllably. She gained the strength and swam the short distance to the side near the red team's base. There was a gentle ramp leading out of the water, Amon hauled her upper body onto it still panting and coughing with her bottom half still in the water.
She looked over her shoulder and watched Aryss' body float to the top. There small conflict on the submarine was still going. Riker was out numbered, but he had hit Rae in side of the head with his Assault rifle, not a very powerful weapon, but it did some damage.
Rae stumbled and felt dizzy from the blows to the head; she was firing very inaccurately, Riker was in barely any danger of getting hit by her. Lock's Shock rifle clicked and ran out of ammo, he threw it off the side and whipped out his Assault rifle and fired a well placed grenade.
Riker made a last ditch attempt and abandoned his cover and charged at Lock with his Shield gun fully charged. Luckily, he didn't see the primed grenade by his foot; Riker was blown side-ways and did a front-flip and landed on his back looking up at Lock.
Lock aimed his gun at Riker's head, Riker let out a groan as blood spilled out from his leg. Lock fired and decorated the submarine with a nice new colour, red. He ran over to Rae, she was still disorientated. Lock ran up to her side, she just collapsed off the side of the submarine. Lock decided to leave her; she would have just slowed him down.
"Blue flag taken!!" the announcer boomed, taking Lock and the rest of Kill Switch by surprise.
"I'm hit, I'm hit! Watch out Vick, over there!" 'Bang' "Arrgh!!" Gunther shouted down his radio (well he obviously didn't say 'bang', because that would be silly :p). Lock checked his wrist pad. It was Malcolm again who had taken the flag.
The flak ball exploded on the back of Malcolm's head, the explosion tearing his diaphragm apart and skimming his body along the floor. Riker quickly picked up the flag and started side-stepping and firing at Vick who fired the flak ball.
Riker unleashed a rocket and it plunged into Vick's stomach, killing him and throwing him back a few meters. Tamika covered Riker's escape by laying a minefield of the toxic blobs (it's really hard to write about what the Bio-rifle spits out whilst taking it seriously); Gunther was quickly back in the game and was pursuing the two Thunder Crash escapees.
He rounded the corner and saw the green minefield about one meter in front of him; he simply jumped and pushed himself off the opposite wall and over it. There was one more corner to go before the submarine area; if they got past there they could be scot-free.
Gunther caught a glimpse of the pair rounding the corner into the middle. Gunther rolled out from safety and fired a trio of rockets in their direction. Two of the rockets hit the ground about a foot behind Tamika, knocking her to floor, and the third one sailed over Tamika and straight past Riker's face, not doing him any damage.
Gunther fired another shot at Tamika as she was just getting up, he hit her square in the back, killing her and making her drop her Flak cannon. Riker managed to escape into the middle with the flag, Gunther sprinted in after him.
Riker was launched forwards by the jump-pad and onto the submarine. Gunther fired at him with his new Flak cannon, all of the shards missed him as he ran even faster and found some cover behind the sub.
Gunther swore, he couldn't let him get away. "Red flag taken!!" the announcer stated loudly. "What the-?" Gunther said as he was pushed off by the jump-pad. Lock had taken it this time, hitting the Thunder Crash team where it didn't expect it.
"I need backup!" Lock shouted as gunfire instantly shook his microphone.
"I'll be right there!" Gunther and Rae said simultaneously.
Gunther watched as Riker jumped onto dry land and headed for home base. Gunther fired a flak ball in hope to catch him out with a long range attack. The ball was only slightly misjudged, landing just behind the corner that Riker had just gone around.
The shards bounced around him, one minor fragment clipping him in the foot but not really impeding his progress. Gunther leapt down onto the same level as Riker and fired three more time sat him; Riker was nearly rounding the next corner, so again his shots were ineffective.
Lock rolled to his right and fired the last shot in his Shock rifle. The beam went up and through Othello's chin, he fell the floor in a bloody mess. Lock he dropped his empty rifle and picked up Othello's assault rifle. He rested one firmly in each shoulder and clipped the flag to his belt.
He heard more gunfire coming from his right; he went down on one knee and aimed both his rifles at the corner. Riker lunged up the stairs and appeared in Lock sights clearly; Lock fired at him and tore holes in the Blue flag and chipped at Riker's shins with his rather low caliber bullets.
Suddenly, Riker wheeled around the face Gunther who was also firing at him with an Assault rifle. His minigun easily over powered Gunther and knocked him back down the small flight of stairs he was ascending. A few more shots and Gunther was killed.
Riker paused for a brief moment to check that Gunther was dead and to drop his minigun. Lock took his chance and aimed for the head, his opened fire and it was only a few seconds before the gun in his left hand stopped firing.
Lock stood up on both feet and fried what was left in his weapon at his target. Riker turned to face him and ducked behind some cover. Neither of them had suitable weapons left part from the Shield gun, but when they both had each others flags; then it could be too risky. Lock hadn't been known for his Shield gun skills in the past, in one match lock deiced to get someone with a Shield gun when all he had left was a Shield gun. Lock charged it up and ran at his victim, Outlaw (the victim) only had an Assault rifle, but saw Lock running towards him and simply spun and kicked the gun out his hands and then put a few rounds in his face. Lock wasn't good at CQB (Close-Quarter-Battle).
Lock was the only thing stopping Riker from getting back to base. "I need some backup!" Lock shouted into his headset again. Riker heard every word, he had the advantage, he was in his own spawn point, and back up was very likely to come at any time. Lock however, was about as far away from his own base as possible.
Riker saw his chance when lock shouted down the radio; he came out from behind his cover and used the flag as a weapon. Lock turned around to see Riker charging with the spiked end of the flag coming in his direction.
Lock put the flag horizontally over his head as a barrier, Riker swung and smashed the hard metal pole into Lock's one. Riker pulled his flag above his head and faked that he was going to make another strike of the same nature.
He swung high and Lock braced himself for another blow, but quickly, Riker pulled his flag back towards him and stabbed at Lock's torso. Lock just managed to bring his flag down to his waist and knock the it away; he quickly used the small opening to get an attack on Riker.
Lock also stood up from behind his cover and stabbed at Riker suing the flag's spiked end. Riker wasn't prepared for this attack and was forced to take a step backward as to not get hit. Now that Lock was backing up, it was clearly his turn to go on the offensive. He swung the flag around his head and brought it down and into the side of Riker's knee.
It made him dip to the left slightly; Lock hit the other knee in the same place. Then he put the flag horizontally again and pushed into Riker's chest in an attempt to knock him to the floor. Riker leaned forwards slightly and braced himself split-seconds before Lock pushed him.
Lock took a step back as he expected him to fall over, but was surprised when Riker managed to quickly hit Lock square in the side of the head with the sharp end of the flag. Lock stumbled back and nearly fell over if he hadn't managed to support himself on a nearby box.
Riker stabbed at him again, giving him no room to even breathe. Lock spun to his right as the spike lodged itself in the box that Lock had been on moment before. Riker pulled on the flag, it was firmly stuck; Lock saw his chance and hit Riker square in the head with the side of his flag.
Riker fell forwards and nearly impaled himself on the flag that was embedded in the box. Lock swung again and hit Riker in the chest, he went back for another blow, but riker brought his leg up and kicked it out of Lock's hands and quickly pulled the flag out of the box using the support of his shoulders.
Riker used the spiked end of the flag and pushed forward at Lock's knee, he only managed the scrape Lock's kneecap but it was enough to nearly knock him off his feet. Lock stumbled forwards and quickly bent down and grabbed the flag in the same motion.
Lock turned around to face Riker, but before he could even make eye contact with him, Riker had swiped Lock's legs out using the flag. Riker stood over him and raised the flag so the spike was pointing at his face.
Lock saw a small hope just before Riker was about to stab him. Lock kicked him in the side of the leg and made him stumbled and slip the flag, he missed Lock's face, but got a firm stab in his side.
Lock cried out as a burst of pain shot through his whole body. Riker violently ripped out the flag from his side, putting Lock in even more pain. A surge of blood came out from Lock's open wound; he clutched it with both hands and arced his body over slightly to try and ease it.
Riker went in for another brutal stab; Lock looked up in despair as he saw Riker smile as he brought down the sharp end. Lock squeezed his eyes tight shut as he saw Riker go for the final blow.
'Crack!!!" the familiar piercing sound of a sniper rifle rang in Lock's ears. He heard something grunted and then slump to the floor; he opened his eyes cautiously and saw Riker's dead body in front of him.
Lock looked to his right and saw Amon poised and looking down the scope of her sniper rifle. She winked at him and rushed up to his side, keeping a close eye on the exit to their left.
"Man, that could have been nasty." Amon said as she took both flags and strapped them to her back. "Good job I showed p when I did huh?" Amon smiled and breathed out as she stood up. "You need a hand?" Amon asked and reached out her hand to Lock.
"No, no, just....go on...with-without me. C'mon go!" Lock stuttered as more blood spilt out his wound.
Amon nodded and started to take slow steps backwards before wheeling around and going into a full sprint. As soon as Amon disappeared from view, bullets from a minigun careered into Lock's chest and head, spraying the wall behind him in red.
Amon heard the bullets hit the wall as she attempted to hop over the small flight over stairs, but suddenly, a Shock rifle beam smacked into the back of her head, killing her instantly and crumpling her body as she hit the floor at the foot of the steps.
Gunther was rushing up to support the situation like Lock had order him to earlier. He approached the corner and saw Amon's body land in a crumpled heap meters way from him, and most importantly, dropping both the flags.
Gunther poked his head around the corner to see where the fire had come from. He spotted Tamika aiming with her Shock rifle just on the corner, a beam suddenly smashed into the wall right next to Gunther's head, it didn't cause him any damage however.
Gunther used some age old tactics to try and grab both the flags. He selected his Link gun and dived out from safety, firing shots in the general direction of Tamika. She ducked back behind a box nearly taking a direct hit in the face. Gunther used his free hand to grab both flags before ducking back around the corner and making dash for home.
Tamika abandoned her cover and sprinted after Gunther in hope of catching both flags. Gunther had nearly made it to the submarine area already. He dumped his Link gun behind some boxes and pulled out his Assault rifle so he could ran that extra but faster.
John jumped up onto the submarine when he heard the action. His orders were to roam around so he had the ability to do as he pleases. Gunther was thrust onto to the sub by the nearby jump pad up to greet John. But even before he had a chance to open his mouth and say anything, the familiar noise of the sniper rifle struck again and Gunther's right leg was swiped out in midair, throwing him off balance and making him land flat on his back and then slowly slipping off the edge of the submarine.
The flags were still connected to his back, and therefore didn't instantly become reset when they hit the water for a few seconds. Another bullet deflected off the hull, John looked down and saw Gunther scrambling for air as he was still alive. John looked away and closed his eyes, he couldn't watch Gunther like that, he opened his eyes and looked down at the water. Gunther's body was floating on the top; it would only be second until the flags were reset. John crouched, leant forwards and jumped off the side.
John splashed into the water and instantly powered himself to the bottom. He felt the pressure make his ears pop as he neared the floor. He up-righted himself in the water and grasped a flag in each hand. John touched him feet on the bottom, then pushed up towards the surface.
John emerged on the surface caught his breath back. He looked up and realized that he wouldn't be able to get up onto his side without going through the under water tunnel. The level above his head was at least 2 meters above him. John dunked his head back underwater and headed for the tunnel; both of the flag weighed him down slightly, but didn't make a huge impact on how fast he could swim.
John brushed the few pieces of foliage that decorated the tunnel exterior aside. John had always been a good swimmier in school; he remembered the day he got his 2000 meters badge at his primary school. He reached the end of the tunnel and surfaced; breathing in heavily.
Instantly, bullets riddled the water around him, the water was being chipped up and some bullet hitting the wall behind him. John quickly hauled himself out of the water and made a dash for home.
As he ran past large opening that lead to the submarine, John looked to his right and saw Malcolm on top of the submarine taking pot shots are him with his sniper rifle. John knew that Malcolm was one of the most deadliest shot with a sniper rifle in the entire tournament.
Every time he heard him fire, John winced, if he stayed out in the open for over 5 seconds, he would be dead. John made a small leap to cover from Malcolm's rifle around the corner.
Vick and Amon fired a flak ball each directly at Othello. One missed him and the other the other hit him directly in the mouth, savagely tearing his head and torso apart and throwing it back down the ramp.
Thunder Crash were now making every attempt to get to the Kill Switch base and stop the flag carrier as he came into his own base thinking he was home free. Vick and Amon were doing everything in their power to the Thunder Crash attack.
"We need some back-up here!!" Amon shouted down her headset. "Now! We can't hold them for much longer if this keeps up!"
Amon fired another flak ball down the ramp at Annika, she dodged it and lunged forwards at Vick and fired with her own Flak cannon at the same time, sending fragments of hot metal everywhere. Vick collapsed on the floor and Amon rolled to her left and fired, killing Annika.
John was within ear-shot of the action at their base now, he had head Amon's cry for help earlier and made his legs go even faster than they already were. He had just one more corner to go before he made it. A shock beam hit John in the back of the foot; tripping him and making him land of his backside. More shots kept coming in; John trued to ignore the pain and limped towards the ramp that was mere steps away.
Amon saw John coming towards her with the flag and quickly looked around for any other Thunder Crash members, she turned to face john when suddenly, a flak ball hurdled over the middle ramp and hit her square in the side of the head, killing her and sending her body smashing into the wall. John really pushed himself up the last few steps, he dropped his Assault rifle and took both the flags, one in each hand, he pushed in his own flag to return it and then he put the Red flag in to score, split-seconds before he was about to take the last step and score, another flak ball came flying form over the middle ramp.
John watched as it sailed towards him, if it hit him he would certainly be dead, he quickly turned his head back to face the flag and he pushed it in, and at exactly the same time, the ball exploded on the back of John's head, killing him.
It was all quiet, John's heart was pounding, and it was all he could hear. Suddenly, the blackness turned to dazzling light; he was back in the arena.
"Oh my goodness ladies and gentlemen!!!! Did you see that?!!" the commentator screamed. "What an absolute turn up for the books that was!!! Kill Switch the total under dogs of this match, coming out to completely dominate the match! This will go down in history I can assure you!!"
Only when the commentator stopped talking for a moment did john and the rest of the team realize just how deafening the noise of the crowd was. Amon's mouth slowly got wider and wider as they al realized just who had won the match. Amon and Rae screamed with excitement and hugged each other. Lock slapped John hard on the back.
"Oh my god! You did it kid! You did it! You just won the match!!" Lock laughed uncontrollably and turned to Gunther and congratulated him as well. John was speechless; he looked out in the crowd and read all the banners. 'CTF Champs!' 'We Love KILL SWITCH!' some of them read. It was amazing.
Vick was hardly smiling as usual; he was more worried about the inspection that he hoped Lock would forget about. He looked over to Lock, he hugged and kissed Rae.
Lock turned to face Vick, he smiled at him, but as usual Vick didn't smile back. Lock lost his smile and looked down at Vick's foot again. Vick tried to hide it by placing it behind his other foot.
Lock couldn't be heard over the immense noise from the crowd, he made a hand signal to one of the paramedics on standby. He picked up his case and headed over to Vick. Lock pointed at Vick's foot and the paramedic nodded and opened his case.
"I'm gonna have to ask you to take your boot of please sir!" the medic had to shout loudly over the crowd. Vick sighed angrily and reluctantly lifted off his boot.
(a/n) So, there you go, Kill Switch, the new CTF champions! But what will happen with Vick's medical inspection? I hope you enjoyed this match. I enjoyed the two fights in this one the most. I hope most people liked all of it though. See ya next time! :) Please review!
