"So, we're doing laser tag?"
Natsuki rubbed her head. "Seriously, I'm getting all this deja-vu from unknown worlds…anyways…umm…yeah…but I really want to play the Wii too!!!"
The chestnut haired girl sighed. "Natsuki, I told you. I don't think we all would be able to get a turn, so it wouldn't be fair."
Kazuko pouted. "S-so…no…no…Wii?"
"No Wii."
"DAMMIT!!!" Kara shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. Everyone in the room slumped forward, and a depressing aura appeared around everyone. Shizuru scratched her cheek.
"Heh…umm…did I mention my Laser Tag stadium, aka. Basement, is 2 acres wide with high walls, a darker room, and more fun…er?"
Anzu took off her Ipod earphones and shivered when Kara grinned evilly. "Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuns…."
Kara and Natsuki laughed manically at the thought of guns. The green eyed-girl turned to her neighbor, "Hey, Kara-san, did-ja know that Shizuru's Laser Tag things have different settings, different guns and stuff? It's AWESOME! PURE OWNAGE!!!" Natsuki waved her hands to imply what she meant by the 'ownage'.
Ayuki turned to Shizuru. "Wait, what does she mean by that?"
Shizuru laughed nervously when all eyes turned onto her. "Umm…my Laser Tag is the next Generation of Laser tag…it should be more like…Laser War or some sort. Well, going on, you start off in the preparation room and enter how many players you have and do a little test to see how good they are. Then a computer would equally split the teams into two, mostly split on skills, but usually, it is two equal teams. Anyways, during the test you are also ranked to get a special weapon and outfit made for you, well, it's pre-made for the rank, so it should be easy for you."
"The ranks isn't like army ranks, but a name for how well you are. It's basically split into four: Team Leaders are the ones with the most brains, Group A. with the best aim, Group B. with the best stealth and speed, and Group C. who is either neutral or good at both. Then the two different teams split into the Fitting Room where you get the specific armor and weapon from your group. Team Leaders get heavy armor but a weak weapon, Group A. gets a either Sniper-type Laser Gun or a Rifle Laser gun, Group B. gets a Machine Gun Laser gun or a Silent Laser gun (Silenced Pistol) and a Laser Dagger which is a one-slash kill, and Group C. gets either a Auto-mated Rifle Laser Gun if neutral, but if the one in Group C. has both skills for A or B, they get a Sync, which is a Sniper-rifle that can be Operated into a Machine Gun, but there is only one Sync, so usually the best player gets it."
Everyone listened in to the rules Shizuru told, all interested from the Next-Gen of Laser Tag.
"Then the two teams would go into the Planning room, which is the last before they enter the final room. Each team will get to see their half of the laser field, all their buildings, walls, and secret passageways. The Game Room itself is disguised as a nightly city, making it a bit fun of an environment. At the Planning Room, the Team Leaders will sort out their groups and mix them to create Mini-squads, the amount depending on the quantity of players on the team itself, and sets out their coordinates. Each team member of each team gets a head-set to communicate with their team, so nicknames if desired could be included there. After that, it is battle time."
"The rules are simple, once you lose all your life points in a battle, you must run back to base to heal. That takes about a minute to heal it can vary depending on your location. If you get lost, each player has a mini-map that shows where they are and the way back to their own base. Also, each team has several bases on their side to go back for 'ammunition' which you get by just by staying inside the base for a minute. The objective is simple, either take over all the bases, or destroy the HQ. The Head Quarters have hidden weak-spots. It is usually glowing the other team's color. It has its own life points and must be destroyed to destroy the HQ. That same weak-spot is what players on its team must touch to regain their life points."
Kara stared wide-eyed, utterly speechless. "O.M.G. That…sounds…like…SO MUCH FUUUN!!!" Kara jumped up and skipped around the room, along with everyone else who was excited for it.
Shin sighed. "Yes, time to kick some as- OUCH WHY ARE YOU PULLING MY EAR AGAIN ANZU!!!" Anzu grinned and let go of his ear, and smiled like a devil. "Because, whichever team you are on is going DOWN!!!"
Ayuki pointed her thumb down to Shin before noticing Hisakawa's grinning face. "W-what?!"
"Ayuki, you have drool on you still since you just woke up."
Ayuki's eyes widened when she felt the yucky feeling of drool that dried up on your cheek. "EW!" she shrieked and rubbed it off. Hisakawa laughed. "You were snoring like a baby and spitting out bubbles of spit…HAHA!!"
Ayuki glared at Hisakawa, planning to make her pay in the Laser War; if they were in different teams. Priscilla was grinning and running around with Kazuko, both shouting o-related words like, "CIRCLE CIRCLE RUN RUN SPIN SPIN DIZZY DIZZY ROUND AND ROUND!!!"
Grace's eyes followed Priscilla who was running around and around and soon her eyes were spinning crazily. She began to feel dizzy and fell back onto Shizuru. "Ah, Ittai!!"
Grace immediately jumped up, blushing. "I, Ah- S-sorry…Shizuru…san…" But really, what was inside her head was naughty, naughty thoughts. Oh my, what if I fell ON TOP of her, oh yes, interesting…but then again, she does seem like she is…y'know…Payapaya…with Natsuki…ARGH! Such a cruel world indeed…But, I can change FATE!! Mwhaha! However, Fate in MSLNS can stay the way she is…I mean…she obviously has a thing for Nanoha…such subtext should be made canon…
"Grace?"
"H-HAI?!"
"I asked you if you were alright."
"YES MA'AM I AM!"
"Um…we haven't started the game so we don't need to go Army Strong yet…"
"Ah…oh…u-um…g-gomen…heh…hehehe….ah.aha.h.a..."
Natsuki looked up after dancing around with Kara fantasizing about weapons and destruction, and partially about Halo 3, and looked around. "Hey, where did Ayame go-"
"I BROUGHT THE BEER FOR THE WINNING PARTY AFTER THE GAME!"
Shizuru's jaw-dropped. "Ayame-senpai!!! I told you and the other ones who drink not to drink and get drunk or to bring any drinking materials AKA. ALCOHAL!!"
Ayame pondered at what Shizuru said, her head mixing up the words. "So…drink only when drunk? But then…wait…wha…???"
Kara picked up a bottle, her eyes watering. "B-but, Shizuru-san!!! Look at it! They're BEAUTIFUL! Just one bottle??? PLEEEEEEEEEEASE?" Ayame and Kara pouted, but Shizuru had no reaction.
Well, except for Grace, Priscilla, Kazuko, and Hisakawa who were entranced by the disappointed/sad/pouting faces.
"Wait, when did Kazuko fall for girly stuff?!"
Kazuko faked a cry and leaned onto Kenju and sarcastically said, "The day I turn into one. I don't like sad girl's face. Especially when it gives up the chance for Ayame to get drunk and Kiss my favorite and only beautiful two-"
Kazuko gulped, feeling all eyes from females stab at him.
"…and kiss my favorite and only beautiful two…two...two…umm…shoes? Yes. Shoes. See? Shoes. HAHA…!...Uwah, Ken-kun! SAVE MEEE!!!" All the girls laughed at Kazuko's girly shriek, and Ryu and Shin were grinning like wolves. (…wolves don't grin….)
"…"
"So no beer?" Ayame pouted.
Shizuru hit her self on the head from sheer frustration and the fact of having 3 boxes of beer in her house might cause a police investigation when a few certain people go missing and are found slashed up and eaten. I'm not Hannibal Lector, but deja-vu goes to there. Now I understand how Natsuki feels by…
"ACK! Deja-vu!!!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
Anzu's eye twitched when she looked over to see Shin on her team. Luckily, Shin had gotten Group B. on the Red Team, while she got Group A. What at least made her a bit relieved was the Fact that Shizuru was their team captain, and Shizuru was quite the smart smarty-pants.
The Red Team's Group A Consisted of Anzu and Hisakawa, Group B. of Shin, Group C. of Kenju and Grace. Their Sync was Kazuko, who somehow got his skateboard moves to keep him fast in reflexes to catch himself, or his flying skateboard.
The Blue Team's captain was Kara, and only cause she happened to be good at mapping out things and math, Group A with Ryu, Group B with Ayuki and Priscilla, and Group C with Ayame. Their Sync was of course Natsuki who was grinning like a mad woman when she found out this piece of information.
Shizuru counted the players and sighed. "Well, I guess we won't have several mini-squads, and a completely split up team…"
Natsuki headed towards Shizuru and glared at her opponent. "Shizuru, you were my best friend but now, my enemy. I will not hold any hesitations for you. So you better watch out."
Ayame followed behind Natsuki and winked at Shizuru. "And you better watch your cute little behind…"
"AND YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BLOOD LOSS, MISSY!!!" Anzu yelled shaking her fist. Shizuru laughed, and led her team in to the Red Side's Preparation Room.
--.--
Natsuki put on the Sync Armor. It was exactly the same as the others, except it had a tracing of silver around it. Truthfully, even though Shizuru had had the Laser Warfield installed two years ago, the two never had gotten to play it since they were only just two people. Romiro was old, so they couldn't ask him to play with them, and Duran wasn't even born yet.
Which meant, that this was Natsuki's first time, making her excited. Ryu had a gun similar to the first set-up of her gun, and Ayuki had a similar interface of her second mode of her gun.
After everyone was done preparing and doing a few stretches, the loading screen waited for the Red Team to finish. After a minute of waiting, the loading screen shut off and the door opened. Inside was an empty room with a big door, and a big table. On the table was a 3-D map of a fake city, consisting of some two story buildings, one-story buildings, streets, alleyways, rooftops, underground passages, and many more. Their HQ was a round building that was heavily guarded and with only one entrance and exit to it. Inside the HQ was another map, but it showed the entire player ID Numbers and Life Points of both enemies and comrades in the Blue Team Territory.
The stadium was quite big, and even though it was a basement, there was still three stories of emptiness till it reached the ceiling, which also made a perfect aspect of nightlife. All the neons started to turn on to start up the glowing city.
Kara looked at the map, and scratched her chin. "Okay, here's the plan. I will stay by the HQ, Ryu will patrol and make shots from a far-away distance to guard the entrance to it and make sure nobody gets in. Ayuki, Priscilla, and Ayame will go around inside our side and take out all who either try to take over our bases or infiltrate our territory."
"Natsuki will go around and switch between helping Ayuki, Priscilla, and Ayame patrol the bases and Ryu patrol HQ. If an ambush comes, I will say 'White Lightning Puripuri' in the ra-"
"Wait, White Lightning PuriPuri?!"
"Yes Natsuki. Do you have a problem with it"
"Yes I do. I'm okay with White Lightning, but Purpuri!? Where the heck did THAT come from?"
"Who knows, who cares. Now ON with the plan!!"
Natsuki grumbled and crossed her arms and stared at Kara who was making plans. "After making all infiltration attempts by the Red Team docile, Ayame who is neutral in both dexterity and stealth will help me guard the HQ, while Priscilla, Ayuki, Ryu, and our Sync go take out the other HQ by traveling through each of the underground passage and from different directions ambush the HQ. If that fails, we continue to guard our base until the next correct time for an ambush comes. Got it?"
"Yes Ma'am!"
"Then…let's get crackin'!"
"Please! No Lucky Star…"
-------------------------.----------------------.---------------------.------------------------.---------------------.----------------------.------------------------.
Natsuki was utterly amazed. The stadium was huge, it looked like a real town/city hybrid with all the lights. Apparently, most of the buildings were accessible, and you can use all of it to your extent. What was even more amazing was that it all felt real.
"Natsuki, can you hear me? Okay, now that I have deployed you, I want you to travel from each of our bases. Ayuki, Priscilla, and Ayame are each guarding one. After thirty minutes I want you to patrol the city. After another thirty minutes I want you to head back to HQ. If anything happens I will call you at the designated areas."
"Yes Ma'am!" Natsuki whispered into the little microphone. Pulling out her map, she chose her destination to all her teammates. The closest one to her was Ayame, then Ayuki, and then Priscilla.
Pulling up her gun, and folding it back to Machine-Gun mode and looking around each corner. She listened to her teammates on the microphone.
"Kara, has anyone entered our territory?"
"Nope Ayuki, none. But I'm wondering if Shizuru had purposely left out something. What if Enemies are invisible to the map until you shoot them down once? Or if the Red Teams underground Passages are undetectable to us? If so, Ryu, stay completely hidden and Keep the sniper focused on the lone street and the entrance to the HQ. Ayuki, Priscilla, and Ayame, the Red Team shouldn't know where our bases are so make sure you aren't exactly near it but make sure you look around your area. If you spot an enemy then wait for the right moment to strike, and make sure you don't get ambushed, because they might follow you back to our HQ. Natsuki, if one of your teammates gets into battle head to the area I tell you where they are in a take all the enemies out. So far, the most they know is that I'm the team captain. They'll try to figure out our Sync. Stay hidden if one of our teammates die, let them die and secretly kill the attacker before they can go near our HQ. Copy that everyone?"
"Yep."
"Roger"
"No doubt about it."
"That was looooooong- I mean Yes Ma'am!"
"Gotcha covered Kara-san."
Natsuki saw a red flash of movement. Glaring, she climbed up the fire escape ladder and into the second story of one building and saw a little crack she could peer out into the street. Quietly switching forms of her gun, she saw Shin frantically looking around. "Kara-san, do you at all see any enemies on the map?"
"Nope"
"Then you are right about you're theory. Ryu, Ayuki, Priscilla, and Ayame, keep an eye out. Their armor is as bright as ours, so it's kind of easy to spot them in our territory. I found Shin, should I take him out?"
"Natsuki, be aware that you are awfully close to the base Ayame has secured. Shin will know that something is there, and we cannot afford to lose anything without gaining anything."
Natsuki grinned. "Kara-san, you're really serious about this aren't you…"
"Hell yes I am!!! This is freaking awesome! I Feel like a Real Coordinator of some ship like in Gundam Seed or something!! Or like Ender from Ender's Game!!! This freaking ROCKS dude!!"
Natsuki could hear Ryu laughing in the radio. "Seriously! This is AWESOME! We sooo totally are going to KICK! SOME! ARSE!!!"
--.-.-
Natsuki banged her head into the wall and growled in frustration from Shizuru's impish tactics. "WHY THE BLOODY HECK DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU HAD A FREAKING ROCKET LAUNCHER AND A NUCLEAR BOMB!!!"
"I told you it was the Next-Gen of Laser Tag, I told you everything in the manual. However, those two were just add-ons and didn't originally come with it, and you didn't ask about it."
"That's still not fair!" Ryu and Kara whined. Ayuki was being taunted by Hisakawa, and Priscilla and Anzu(for a weird reason) were beating Shin with pillows for being a high and mighty son of a devilish parent who taught him his ways of arrogance at winning games.
Ayame was just sad that she still didn't get her beer, and Kazuko and Kenju were making jokes about the huge 3-D laser explosion that 'blew up' the whole Blue Side Territory.
Natsuki kept banging her head and yelling while Shizuru merely laughed and protected herself from any harm (which wouldn't have happened anyways) by holding Duran in her face.
"UGH! I'm never playing awesome games that was made by the dam Fujino Company ever again! CONSPIRACIES I TELL YAH! CONSPIRACIESSSSSSSSSS!!!" yelled Natsuki as she shook her fist.
Shizuru grinned and turned off the lights in the big room to let all the exhausted players rest, because they had school the next day.
