Chapter 2: Gunner's Gauntlet

Midgar City Streets

The four met in the center of the street all looking for the title of best gunner. Yuna, Balthier, Irvine, and Vincent all ready to win the Gunners Gauntlet. All drew their guns and ran to a hiding position. If they were to give up they must drop their gun down and leave the field, if not they would die.

Vincent began the match by blindly shooting in the direction Balthier ran to. His aim was off though. He began to run to a nearby store and take cover behind the shop sign. He saw bullets fly from the angle Balthier ran to and figured he was shooting back. He flew to the top of a building, getting shot at the whole way up. He aimed the Cerberus, his gun, at Balthier and hit him in the leg. You could here his screams from atop the building.

Down on the ground behind the Shinra corp building Balthier was mending his leg. Irvine and Yuna were battling it out in the street. There were some road blocks in the street which provided good cover from incoming bullets. Yuna came up and went trigger happy shooting at a hidden Irvine. She barely missed cutting holes in his pants. Irvine aimed is rifle and hit Yuna in the arm causing her to bleed profusely. She used some of her old white magic to heal the wound and turned her sights to Balthier.

Balthier had finished bandaging his leg and took his gun, the Altair, in hand. He loaded it with dark shot and moved cautiously to look out into the street. All he had was a bullet waiting for him barely grazing his shoulders. Yuna had took a blind shot and almost got lucky. She finally saw him and took aim. Balthier reacted quickly even with his injured shoulder and fired a shot hitting her in the side. She yelled in pain falling to her knees. Balthier took aim once more and got ready for the finishing shot, when suddenly he as well yelled in pain getting shot in the hand. Irvine had managed to hit him from behind the roadblock and moved to a closer position.

Vincent was ready to take someone out and saw Yuna a good target. He loaded his gun and aimed for her thigh. He released the trigger and the bullet hit her dead in the leg. She dropped her gun and crawled to the edge of the battle screaming in pain. Vincent loaded his gun again and set his sights on Irvine. He jumped from the top of the building and landed beside Irvine. Irvine swiftly turned and hit Vincent in the head with the barrel of his rifle, which left him open. Balthier took the open shot and next second Irvine dropped his gun.

Balthier and Vincent were the last two. Vincent took a shuffle step backwards and hid behind a building. Balthier stood in the open aimed his rifle and shot on Vincents location. He missed! Vincent came out of the shadows and shot at him twice. Balthier avoided the shot and sent a bullet in return hitting him in the leg. Both were wounded, but Vincent pulled off a last second shot hitting Balthier in th arm and his gun dropped. Vincent won, it was all over.
