Exactly four hours before my next match in the Galleon arena, someone decided to pound on my apartment door. It was a guy, and he was calling my name. Please be Kent...

"Hello? You there Kyla?" the voice beckoned.

"J-Just a minute!" I called nervously. What if it really is Kent? Do I look alright? Damn, I have a hair sticking up... There, all better. Okay, here I go...

I lighty pressed my hand on the panel near my door, it opening with a metalic swish. It wasn't Kent, no, instead it was some guy in a green outfit who looked like he hadn't shaved in a week.

"Can I come in? Oh yeah, I'm Fuego." he said.

"Come right on in," I said invitingly. What was I supposed to do? Turn him down? After all, he's kinda cute...

He walked in, taking a look around while muttering to himself. "I came to tell you something, Kyla," Fuego stated. "I came to tell you about your friend, Jayce..." The hell...?

"Go on." I said as I walked across the room and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Well, you see, she's in the match on Galleon with you and myself. I had heard rumours that she's your best friend... Of course, this could be a different Jayce, but you never know..." He came and sat on my bed beside me.

"Hmm... Well, thanks for message..." I muttered, looking down at my hands.

"Say, if you're not doing anything after the match maybe..."

I swear to God Himself that this guy was trying to feel me up. "I'm sorry, but I don't have the time. Some other time, maybe?"

Fuego moaned. "Okay. No hard feelings if I own you in the match, okay?"

"Sure, though I think it'll be vice-versa."

Fuego laughed. "Whatever you say..." He then got up and left. Fuego turned to ask me something else, but I quickly plastered a fake smile on my face, and he was just as quickly turned off the idea. He continued out of my room. I let out a huge sigh, then got up and locked my door. Creep...

I spawned down onto a huge ship from the shuttle we took to the arena, fragging Fuego with worldspawn. Ops...

I had apparently spawned on the main deck of the ship, and quickly found a cabin of some sort, containing a small room with a ramp going down in the center of it. Who the hell thought that fire was a good idea? It's so damn dark... And on a wooden ship? C'mon...

I continued down the ramp and came face-to-face with some chick who had a metal mask and red hair. She was holding the Ripper, but I had to pump her full of lead and take her gun. She respawned nearby and ran up to me and tried the rip off my arm. The hell...?

After I fragged her once more, I went and found Fuego again. He let out a wide spray of lead from the Minigun's secondary fire, but I ducked as he continued to fire uncontrollably. I shot off his foot and then dodged my own Ripper blade. When he was on the ground I let him have it with the secondary fire, then took his gun.

Then I heard someone respawn behind me. "Do you know who killed Flabeline Xion?" Fuego whispered in my ear. "I did." he continued, and ripped my respawning device off my arm and stepped on it with a loud crunch.

I spotted someone on the other side of the ship who had just dissapeared around a corner. Rath.

Quickly, I shouted "Come get some, Rath!" and managed to get behind Fuego. Rath came back around the corner and shot without aiming, landed a nice Shock Rifle blast in Fuego's chest. Needless to say, I then turned Rath into a leaky piece of meat.

A feminine voice caught my attention instantly. I had heard it on the upper deck, it said "Die!" and I watched as Vanessa, the phsyco who tried to tear my arm off, respawn below me.

Jayce.
