Chapter 17: First team fight
"alright teams get ready, the match will begin shortly so take the time to think about some plans before I start the match" Yui said from a distance as she went over some stuff on her hologram clipboard and on her tablet.
And in the training ground we find three teams, "Black Knights", "Green Tigers", and "Yellow Phoenix".
All three teams we spending there time that they had to focus on a plan before the match was to begin and they would be face with fighting the other teams.
"so what do you guys thing we should do?, were located on the right side of the field so that means that we will only have one team to face with that will be coming in from the left side. And seeing as to what had occur in the last match, I say that we can either hide until that weapons spawn or attack the mid team and then slowly move on to the last team remaining" Oz said as he talk to his team as to what they thought they should do once the fight started.
"hmm, if we hide for the first few minutes we could use the time to see what we can use for advantage. Like what 'White Lotus' did to put up a trap near the weapon spawn." Echo said as she told Oz her idea on what they should do.
"that's not a bad idea, but then if we split up won't we be easy targets to the enemy teams?" Charlotte ask.
"it won't be a bad thing if the ones doing the scavenge are fast in running" Oz said.
"so ho's the fasts here?", Hunter ask.
"well that would be Oz, Echo, Charlotte, Break and Vincent. Me and Elliot and Gilbert are not that much of a fast type when it comes to running" Leo said as he told Hunter on ho were the fastest in the team.
"oh so you guys are the fastest, but then what happens if you are caught in a fight?" Hunter ask.
"well if one of get's send into seeking and get's caught in a fight, then we will have to fight them off until one of us comes to help ho ever got caught in the fight" Elliot said.
"plus we all know how to fight alone when it come to it so you don't have to worry about us getting beaten easily" Oz said.
"oh I see, so what do we do once there's one team left and when the weapons spawn after the ten minute mark is done?". Zoey ask.
"well if that ended up happing we will have to do that same as what the other teams did in the last match, but we will have to do something different then what they did" Echo said.
"and what would that be?" Zoey ask.
"well since theres ten of us, we could split into 5 small groups and surround the middle of the field where the weapons are to spawn. And that way we will have a full view of the area and be able to tell what direction the enemy team are located at" Break said.
"hmm so I guess everything's planned out", Hunter said with surprise look on his face after hearing all of the plan that was made up by his team.
"yeah pretty much, well I guess the only thing left is for the match to start", Oz said as he look around for any signs of the match starting.
"so are two ready to fight or what" Vincent said as he turn around ask Hunter and Zoey if they where ready.
"yeah I guess so, although it's our first time fighting in a team so we don't what to expect" Hunter said.
"yeah we never had a group of people or a team to train with so, we are kind of new to this kind of stuff" Zoey said.
"well don't worry about it, there's always something new to try out for everyone right?", Charlotte said as she gave them a confident smile while giving them a thumbs up.
"yeah I guess your right" Hunter said only moments before the surrounding area started to change with Yui saying, "time for our next match to begin, get ready teams because the fight is about to begin".
And after she said that, there surrounding area was in gulf with a bright white light that cause them to close there eyes only for a short amount of time until the light faded away reveling a new set of terrain in front of them. A snowy weather terrain with snow falling down.
And just like the previous set of teams that where inside, they experience some of the same things that they did when the terrain change. Such as temperature, wind, humidity, and the ability to touch things in the terrain that made it the all to more real to them.
The area was a small abandon town in a aftermath of a heavy snow storm that left cars and small objects in the area to be cover or buried in snow.
And the moment that the snow fell in the training ground. all three teams shiver in the cold temperature as they felt the cold air surround them.
The town that 'they' where in was so cold that they immediately look for an open building that had it's doors unlock so that they could stay away from the cold snowy weather.
So when Oz and his team where place in the small town, they went to the nearest open store that they could find and shut the doors behind them.
But even if they enter a place to protect them form that cold weather, the store that they had enter didn't provide much help since there wasn't any power running thru it. So they where left with the cold feeling in the air but minus the cold wind and snow fall.
"what the hell, why are we place in a location like this?", Elliot said as he rub his hands together to keep them from going numb.
"don't know but all I can say is that this is something I didn't except to happen", Oz said as he sat down on a wooden chair.
"so I guess the plan we had before is out of the window" Charlotte said as she took a seat next to the store's windows.
"well we can still work around it, but we will have to come up with new different tactics since we are in a whole different environment then what the last team where in". Oz said.
"well if there's one thing for sure it that moving around will be a pain in the ass since we will have to walk in the deep snow". Elliot said.
"and when the time comes when we have to fight, it would also be a challenge to fight them as well" Leo said as he brought up a problem that they would have when it comes to fighting.
"and with this weather it's going to be hard to even stay active for more then 5 minutes. The human body can only take in so much before it starts slowing down due to body temperature near death", Echo said as she down at the floor while she wrap her arms around her legs to gather up heat.
"yeah it's already freezing as it is", Gilbert said as he felt a shiver go past his body making him shake.
"well all I can tell is that we are going to have to play this differently then we tough. But if there's one thing for sure is that the other two teams will also be inside a building to keep themselves from freezing, so we won't have to worry about fighting in the snow that much and it would also make it either hard or easy to attack them in there location", Oz said.
"but what are we going to do once the weapons are to spawn?, won't it be hard to get the weapons as it would when fighting the other teams?", Zoey ask.
"yes but we will have to figure out a much more different way to approach the stash of weapons, if we plan it right we can get our hands on the weapons faster than the other teams and hopefully be able to use them to our advantage", Echo said as she started to form a small map on the window with a marker with the help of Oz ho was also putting some of his ideas on the map.
"Echo right, if we plan this carefully and correctly we can be able to get our hands on the stash. But we can't do any of it if we don't know the other teams current location" Oz said.
"so how are we going to find there position?", Vincent ask.
"well kind of the same thing we were planning before, we just need to send two people to go search for there location and once we know where there located we can form a plan on how to take them down". Oz said.
"sound ok but, what if the other teams have set up a trap in there base?. And more importantly how do we know that they haven't set up an ambush for us if we come to there location?" Elliot said as he told Oz and the rest some of the dangers of going to find there location.
"well I doubt that they have a trap set up, we started the match just 3 minutes ago and there really isn't much that you can do with the materials around this town. Especially if there frozen cold and don't know how to build one out of scrap". Oz said.
"if we are sending two people to go and find there location, ho are we sending?", Hunter said as he ask ho where the ones that where to be sent out on the cold and find the other team's location.
"well ho ever is best in the cold get's to go, because I am not that good in the cold" Gilbert said as he shiver a bit from the cold.
"so ho's going to go?", Zoey said as she ask ho in there team where the ones to go and search outside on the cold and find the teams location.
"well I'm use to the cold and so is Oz and Break" Echo said as she told Zoey ho where the ones that where able to withstand the cold.
"so three are going on the search?", Zoey ask.
"well we could use the extra back up if we need it, so you want to come along or what Break?" Oz said as he ask Break if he wanted to come along.
"sure it's no big deal" Break said as he step right next Oz and Echo.
"ok so now that we have that down, what do we do?" Vincent said as he ask what they where going to do since they where the ones that where going to stay in the store that they where taking shelter in.
"well you guys can take perimeter around the store so that you can spot any members of the other teams, and you can also take the time to build any sort of weapons with the stuff around here" Oz said as he pointed over to the pieces of wood and metal that where in the store.
They haven't notice but they have take refuge in a wood shop witch surprise them to see that they where inside a store with materials that gave them an advantage to the fight.
"that's a surprise I didn't even see that when we came in", Charlotte said as she eyed the materials in the store.
"yeah... wait if we are located in a town that's place in the country side where it's miles away from the nearest city. And most towns located out on the country are made for those ho are in agriculture, and hunting is done most often in places like this. So doesn't that mean that there's a store that sells 'guns'?" Hunter said as he came to the realization that there was a store bound to have guns in them.
And that sudden realization cause them to react quickly.
"ok here's the plan, you guys go and try to find the store that sells guns while me, Echo and Break will go and try to find the other team's location. If you guys find the store with guns, set out fire so that we can see where you guys are located at. But if the store is already found, go and group up in the center of town where we will have to wait for the weapons to spawn". Oz said as he told them the plan witch they all seem to agree as they nodded in agreement.
"alright let's move" Oz said right before he, Echo and Break quickly made there way out of the building and went on there search for the other team's location while the rest went to find a store that had guns in them.
Scene Change
So after having there plan set to go, both groups where set out to do there objective.
But having to travel in the snow storm that had gotten worse over the time that they where inside, it cause there movements to slow down making the group of Charlotte, Leo, Elliot, Gilbert, Vincent, Zoey and Hunter. To be force to walk in the snow storm in the streets of the small town.
But it wasn't at all to bad since they where still able to see at the very least 5 feet in front of them. But at the same time, the cold air seem to have drop some more causing them feel dizzy.
"damn, I wonder ho on earth would want to live in such a place like this", Vincent said as he walk across the street with his hands covering his face from the strong wind that keep on hitting his face.
"well you should probably visit people that live in the cold like people form Russia, Canada and Alaska" Leo said as he walk behind Vincent while he cover the bottom of his face with his shirt.
"nah I'm good, so where is this store going to be at anyways?". Vincent said.
"don't know but I do hope we find it before the other two teams have a chance in find it", Gilbert said as step on the sidewalk of the street and started to look thru the windows to see what the inside had.
But the store he look thru was a shoe store, it's not what they where looking for.
"it's not this one" Gilbert said as he keep on moving down the side walk with the rest looking thru different windows.
But it wasn't long until they saw a red light coming from the other side of the street, from a afar it look like a red flare that was thrown on the ground and left there.
"hey what's that?", Zoey said as she ask what the red light was while she crouch behind a black car in the street to prevent being spotted by ho ever was on the other side.
"hmm it looks like a fire but it would be impossible to keep on active in a weather condition like this so I guess it might be a light source like a flare or an red flashlight.", Leo said as he tried to describe to them on what he tough the red light could be.
"so ho do you think set it up, to me it feels like a trap or a marking for the team that's in the store", Charlotte said as she gave her suggestion to the rest.
"hmm I say we try to go around that building and find a way inside so that we can see ho's inside or what's inside. Because to me it looks like a bait for a trap" Elliot said as he told his teammates on what they should do.
"so how about half of us stay and half of us go around the building, that way we can spot anyone exiting or entering the building", Charlotte said as she told them on what they should do.
"sounds good, ok so me Leo and Vincent will go around the building and you guys stay here" Elliot said right before him and Leo and Vincent started walking/running across the street and make there way around the building through the snow storm.
And once they started, Charlotte, Gilbert, Hunter and Zoey stayed hidden in there spot as they waited for any signs of moments that might come out of the store or something that might be making there way inside. And since they where in the middle of a snow storm, there wasn't really much they could see thru the snow but the red light that glowed faintly from a distance.
oOo Scene Change oOo
Meanwhile, in a different part of the town. Oz, Echo and Break where running on the side of the streets as they went on there search on finding the other team's location. and after running around and searching for a while. They have spotted some blurry moments that where moving in the snowstorm towards a tall 3 story building.
And when they spotted the unknown moments, they went up to a higher ground by getting on top of a building to get a better view of the scene and to hidden themselves from getting spotted on the streets below.
Also the three where wearing there over clothing like a hood to cover there hair and to cover the bottom portion of there face to keep them undetected and keep them warm from the cold weather.
"alright I see 2 in the front entrance, and 1 inside the first floor, and there's 2 on the top roof. So that leaves 5 left ho might be inside the building" Oz said as he keep on looing at the building to spot any more moments that he might pick up.
"it looks like they might be planning something inside if they have half of there team outside as guards" Break said as he gave his opinion to Oz on what he thinks they might be doing.
"and it also seems that they aren't pay much attention to there surroundings since the two in the front seem to be looking down on the ground, and the two on the top don't seem to know what to look for." Echo said as she look to the burry figures of the enemy team ho where standing guard on the building.
"to me they seem like easy targets, nothing that a solid kick to the back of the neck can do" Break said in teasing manner as he told them the idea of knocking them out by a strike to the neck.
"we shouldn't do something that violent, but it would be the fastest way to take them out without causing any commotion." Oz said.
"so what do we do?, do we just move on and find the other team's location or what?" Break ask.
"well I would say let's move on but, seeing how they are guarding the building like they are hiding something special. I say we try to take a peak inside and see what they might be hiding. So do you guys want to follow along or do you want to look for the other team's location?". Oz said as he ask both Echo and Break if they wanted to either move on or attack the team inside the building.
"well I am actually eager to know what they have inside, and I am also a bit excited to test out my fighting skills", Break said.
"I think we should check what the team has hiding inside, if it's something valuable that we can use for our advantage then it would be worth getting" Echo said.
"ok then I guess we are moving in" Oz said right before him and Echo and Break vanish from there spot in just a blink of an eye leaving only three empty spots on the roof of the building that they where in before.
oOo Meanwhile back with the rest oOo
After having to go around the building and entering an alleyway that led to the back door of the building that they where tending to enter.
Elliot, Leo and Vincent where standing at the back of the store while standing behind a door that was left unlock, and they where standing next to the door while they waited for any noise to be heard before entering so that they could tell if it was empty or not.
But after a few more seconds of waiting, they decided to move in.
So with Vincent being the closest to the door and with the door having the door handle on his side, he went in first by slowing opening the door and slowly crouch walking in to make as little noise possible.
"alright guys nobody here", Vincent said right after he finish looking around the back room of the store and seeing that nobody was around besides them.
Soon after he gave the green light, both Leo and Elliot step in the room and close the door.
The room that they where in look like a storage room for a mailing office since the only things that they saw in the room was flat folded boxes, rapping paper and bubble rap.
"so we have boxes, there really nothing we can do whit this" Leo said as he walk around the small room that they where in and look around.
"of course not, we are searching for weapons not shipping material. Come on let's check the front part of the store and see if there's anything else we can find" Elliot said as he began walking to the other side of the room where another door was place that would take them to the front part of the Mail store.
And shortly after walking to the front part of the building, they found the front park of the store with a boxes scatter through the area and light coming in from the windows of the store that gave little light to the barely light room. The store had dark blue vintage color that gave it a feel that
the store was left abandon.
Also upon entering the front of the store, they found what was the source of the red light that they where able to see from the outside of the store.
"so this is what's make that light", Vincent said as he walk to right over to the source of light witch was a black shoe-size box with a red flare on top of it.
"what is it?", Leo ask as he walk over to Vincent and took a look on the black box the Vincent was holding.
"don't know but I'm going to open it, but I also think you should call the rest to come in. They would freeze to death if they stay out any longer" Vincent said as he told Leo to tell the others ho where outside to come in.
"ok I'll be back" Leo said as he went out of the building to call the rest to come in.
And once Leo went out to call the rest, Vincent open the lid of the black box to see what was inside, and what he found was a pair of handguns with four ammo clips.
"wow how lucky are we" Vincent said as he pick one of the black hand guns and took a closer look at the one he was holding while Elliot looked at the other one.
"I think this is a 'Weihrauch hw45 black star', they are mostly use out on the country for hunting or just for safe keeping" Elliot said as he looked at black handgun with the wood grip on the gun.
"oh your a gun expert?, I didn't know you knew so much about guns Elliot. I always taught you where afraid of guns" Vincent said with smirk as he told Elliot about his tough of him being scared of guns.
"shut up, I am not afraid of guns. Also I happen to know about this type of gun because my uncle uses a gun like this one when he goes out hunting" Elliot said.
"well either way it looks like we have a chance in making it out on the fight between the other teams now that we have this" Vincent said as he spun the gun in his hand.
"yeah but I'm not that good with a gun, if your remember I am more of close range fighter with hand in hand weapons not rifles" Elliot said as he told Vincent that he wasn't going to be using the handgun.
"well if your not going to be using the handgun, then I would like to take it away from your hands" Charlotte said as she came in the store with the rest of there team as she step in the store and took the gun the Elliot was holding and playfully spun it around her hand.
"so is that what was causing the light in the distance?" Leo said as he pointed to the box with the flare on top.
"yeah and we found this two guns inside, but nothing else" Elliot said as he look around.
"well it's better then nothing, well let's keep moving we still need to find that gun store before the other teams find it", Charlotte said as she told them that they still had something to do.
"then let's keep moving, we only have a short amount of time before the 10 minute mark is over", Zoey said as she and the others began moving out of the store continue there search for the store with weapons.
oOo Back with Oz, Echo, Break oOo
Meanwhile back with the three, Oz Echo and Break where set differently around the main building that they where planning on breaking in.
Echo was set to take down the two in the front and the one inside, and Break was to enter the top floor of the building and taking out the two on the roof. Oz was set to take down the five inside the building by breaking in thru one of the windows of the building and take down the five in the building as fast as possible.
So this was going to be a fast and silent breaking in by taking the enemy team down as fast as they can while trying to get inside the main building.
And they where also going to be using some of material that they had found in the area around them.
But other than that, the first one to start that attack was Break.
Break was on top of different building that was one floor higher than the one that they where targeting. And he was on top of the building so that he can jump on the third floor and take the two on the roof.
So to begin the attack, Break simply ran as fast as he can and jump from the roof he was on and landed on the main building and quickly dash to the two unnoticed students and deliver a quick and strong kick on the two enemy team's neck.
And the moment that he took them down, Break used his hands to pick up some of the snow on the roof and used it to make a small snowball witch he later used it to throw it on to one of the enemy's head ho where down below guarding the floor so that he can distracted them so that Echo can have in of time to approach them and take down without been notice.
So once he had two snowballs in his hands, he let go of them and let them travel all the way down where they hit both the enemy's heads and cause them to look up in confusion as to wonder what had hit them.
But the moment that they look up was the moment that Echo came in a lighting fast speed and use a metal pipe that she had found to knock out the two in the front by hitting them on the neck, but she wasn't done yet.
When Echo knock out the two on the front entrance, the girl ho was inside the first floor alerted when she saw her two teammates get take down by Echo and she was ready to run up the stairs on the far backside of the room and alert her team. But before she could walk any further than 2 feet, she immediately fell on the ground pass out as metal pipe at hit her on the back of her neck.
And once she has clear the bottom floor she started walking to the other side of the room and began walking the stairs that led to the middle floor of the building.
Meanwhile Oz was running, running on the top of a roof that was level right on the same floor level of the building that he was planning in jumping in. The mid floor of the building.
And once he was in jumping distance between the roof he was on and the window that led to the middle floor. He took a big leap and crash thru the window witch cause some of the enemy team members to act alerted and confuse as to what was going on.
But while they were left surprise due to his entrance, he didn't wasted any time and quickly started to attack the nearest one to him.
He sent a fast and quick blow to a boy's stomach by using his right fist and then sending a side kick across his face to knock him out.
And when he knock out the first person in the room, the other four went on the offensive and lunge at him to attack him.
But right before he was about to handle this fight o 4, Break came in the room from the upstairs and Echo came from the downstairs as they both came in to help Oz in the fight against the other four enemy team members.
And when both Break and Echo came in the room to help Oz, the two ho where the closet to Break and Echo came at them leaving Oz two people to fight by himself.
oOo Meanwhile outside the training ground test oOo
While the fight inside the building went on and the people ho where on the outside watch. Yui ho was the teacher/instructor of her students, she was both surprise and impress with the performance that was being done by Echo, Oz and Break.
She was impress to see 'three' teenagers being capable of taking down a team of ten, but she was most interested in Oz.
"so I guess they were right about him, he dose show a lot of potential and so those his friends. I would love to see just how far they can make it through the next fem months, especially space boy" Yui said to herself in her head as she watch the fight that was going on.
She and some of the teachers have heard rumors about a student of there school that has gone a mission requested by the government to do a special type of mission, and although they don't know what the mission was. They where given some hints about ho the 'student' was and how he appear to look like, and they even told them on what he was like as a person.
And now that she knows ho the 'student' was, she was egger to know a bit more about him and his mission. And she plans on asking him personally her self when she has the time.
oOo Back in the fight oOo
Back in the fight, Oz was having to fight two team members at the same time while Echo and Break had to take one at a time.
Oz duck down in order to avoid a kick to the head by the brown hair boy ho send a attack at him.
But at the same time he had to then jump back to avoid having a piece of wood hit him on his right side of his body.
When Oz landed on his feet, he saw one of his opponents pull out a handgun with a laser pointer attach to it.
"I guess this is going to be a hard fight after all" Oz said as he moved as fast as he could to the right to avoid the shoots that where being sent at him.
"erg..." the one ho was firing at Oz was having a hard time trying to shoot at him that he was getting frustrated with Oz being able to avoid all his shots.
And once he fired his last shot at Oz, Oz went full speed at the boy with the gun and send a strong upper cut at boy's face and then square punch him in the gut and finally finishing him off by kicking him on the chest and sending him to the floor knock out.
But he wasn't done there, the other boy ho was with him came at Oz with a piece of broken metal that he use like a knife to attack Oz.
And since he was aiming at Oz back, Oz didn't see it coming until the last second when he turn around and used his both hands to stop the piece of metal/knife from coming at him.
And this attack cause him to 'remember' something similar that has happened to in the past. And that was when everything went blank for him for the next few seconds.
In just a manner of seconds, Oz change from himself to someone else. His eyes quickly develop a green ring around his pupil that seem to glow intensely and his strength seem to grow much more than before and his reaction to things increased, and his expression on his face went blank
And the sudden change in his eyes went unnoticed to Oz's opponent ho was then suddenly push back by Oz ho used his unknown strength to push him back to a wall and then having to reaper in front of his opponent and then send a quick but strong punch to the enemy's chest and then a uppercut witch he miss since his opponent was able to move out of the way.
"..." Oz didn't seem to react in any way to his opponent being able to avoid his attack since he move to where his opponent walk to and attack him again.
And he went on and attack his opponent by doing multiple strikes with his fist across his opponents chest and then a last strike on his face with a swift kick that knock him out.
And with that last hit, Oz's eyes lost it's glowing green ring that he had around his pupil and his eyes return back to normal. Also at the same time, Echo and Break where also able to finish off there opponent leaving only them standing in the room while panting for a bit of air.
"what was that?, what just happen I can seem to remember just what happened". Oz said to himself as he place his hand to the side of head where he could fell a bit of pain that appear out of nowhere and made him fell a bit dizzy.
"well that was sure a hell of fight, hmm are you feeling ok Oz? you don't seem fine" Break ho was panting slightly said as he ask Oz if he was feeling ok due to him seeing Oz holding the side of his head in pain.
"yeah I'm ok I just think I got a bad headache it's all" Oz said as he started to let go the side of his head as he felt the pain go away and stood up straight.
Echo ho was looking at him seem to look a bit worried as she saw how Oz seem to be in pain when he was clutching the side of his head.
"Oz are you sure your ok?, to me you seem to be more in pain then what you said you are" Echo said as she walk to where Oz was standing and stood in front of him with a serious/worried look on her face as she ask him.
"no really I'm ok, I think it was just a sudden headache that I got it's all" Oz said as he tried to convince Echo that he was ok.
"hmm...ok then, so now that we took them down. What do you think those are?", Echo said as she turn around and pointed to the small pile of boxes that where in the middle of the room.
"what?, I didn't even see those" Break said with a surprise look on his face as his eyebrows move up when he look at the small pile of boxes that where on the floor.
When the three saw the pile of boxes that where on the floor, Oz Echo and Break move towards them and started to look thru them to see what it was they could find in the boxes.
And when they open up the boxes to see what was inside, they found almost nothing in them besides the last two boxes that contain a handgun and a few (5) throwing knifes.
"I guess this boxes contain weapons or materials that we can use in the fight, but I wonder how they mange to find 10 boxes in total" Oz said as he wonder how they manage to get a hold of this many boxes in just 8 minutes when the match had started.
"guess they started to search for stuff the moment the match started, trying to find something that would give them an advantage to the fight kind of the same thing we are doing" Break said as he look at the knock out team members of "Green Tigers".
"well at the very least that means that we only have to worry about one team to fight now" Echo said.
"yeah I guess it does make it a bit easier now that we have one team down, but now we have to worry about the other team witch we can't seem to find", Oz said.
"well then let's just hope that they aren't as much trouble as this guys. Well I think we should keep a move on since we still need find the gun store and we need to group up with the rest of our team before the ten minute mark ends". Break said as he got up and started to walk out the room with Oz and Echo following shortly after they pick up what they need from the boxes.
