Chapter 2: Finals!
Zieruk: Alright... Now who's ready for the finals! *crowd roars with excitement*
As Zieruk was giving the Finals launch speech, we were busy screwing around like a bunch of idiots trying to get a banana from the ceiling with a plastic bag.
Raf: Enjoy yourselves! For the Finals are here!
Kurei: Damn right it is!
Shana: Boys... Anyway.. Partner... I haven't get your name since you joined us...
Shana's Partner: My name's R-...
Kurei interrupts,
Kurei: introductions after finals, okay? Let's just mess this finals up and finish it once and for all.
Raf: Kurei's right... We just have to mess this up more than our opposing team...
Shana: fine fine... Introductions later then...
As we proceed to the stage, we noticed that the whole stage changed entirely. As we stood in awe...
Zieruk: ah Team CG!... You arrived earlier then we thought... Welcome to the Neo-Arena... It's a new set up to help players adapt to the new game that's coming up!
Raf: how... *examining surroundings* this technology...
Zieruk: haha.. You seemed surprised there... It's the world's best technology here you see... I sure expect some shock when gamers and spectators sees this stage...
The entire team felt its resemblance with the Grid Square... But it was far different...
Kurei: this is... A little weird...
Shana: ... *activates a station* Dome screened...
Faith: wow... *eyes widen* are those VZS gloves?
Raf: headset-like headwear... Zieruk... What are these if you don't mind me asking...
Zieruk: ah sure no problem... Yes, those are VirtualiZed Sensor gloves, your movements with your hands affects how your character's hands move. Those headwears are basically the main sensors for your character's whole movement detection, jumping, running etc.
Raf: so the VZS gloves are fully functional and out from the test phase?
Zieruk: yes, i see you are well informed about the gloves...
Raf: heh... You'll be surprised... Anyway your stage's ready and out of schedule...
Zieruk: ah crap... *calls the other team out* you guys go backstage and prepare something for your entrance or something...
-backstage-
Kurei: something's not right here...
Shana: yea... Felt it since the competition started...
Raf: guys guys... Hold back your thoughts for now.. I do too... This technology is too advanced for the world yet apart from us... VZS hasn't been tested once...
Faith: hush Raf... You are half right... Tell you guys later...
Zieruk: oohhkkaayyy... The Finals are here! This is a whole new set up for the competition! Introducing the VZS system with dome screens! Now may the finalists come onto the stage!
-Team CG!-
-Team FlameZeroZ-
As we step on the brand new stage, we were hit by sound waves as the audience cheers mercilessly. We, the players took our positions holding up our loadout cards, having the "let's screw this up" look on our faces.
As the crowd cheers...
Shana: A-ri-a! *waves excitedly across the stage*
Aria: *waves back*
Zieruk: Alrighty! Players prepare your cards... Ready?
Players: Ready! Cards Sync! *slashes cards in reader* Twin Daggers! Scout!
Zieruk: well well... looks like we have a little melee match in our hands... Alright! Let the battle begin! Temple! Map loading! Players have 5 minutes to get used to the controls before the actual battle begins! The VZS gloves are fully maneuverable so feel free to swing your arms as much as you like.
Shana: ... Is the technology that advanced? *swings arm and the character duplicates the action instantly* no delays...
Raf: hmmm... *looks at hands and his character does the same* too smooth for comfort...
Kurei: *blade dances* woah... Cool!
Faith: *tele-lunges* woah I can actually do this? Heh heh heh...
Kurei: Parkour should gives us an edge here... *wall runs*
Zieruk: so players adapted to your controls yet? Grids lock! Enabling team communications! *players prepares for the battle as the headsets erects a microphone*
Shana: woah... Cool... *adjusts microphone*
Zieruk: let the round commence! Spawning players! Completed! 3 seconds freeze time! 3...2...1... Round start! Move out teams!
Kurei: Go Go Go! Stick together! *scaling a building with partner*
Shana: sticking to you is the problem... *moves out of base* gah! *slashed* enemy spotted engaging! * charges towards enemies*
Raf: Roger! *signals Faith and the others* backup Shana, I'll have to deal with another matter... *sprints into temple*
Faith: *nods* c'mon guys let's give some backup!
Shana: *stabbed* agh.. The pain...*blacks out*
Raf: eh? Shana's down... Crap... Wait... There's no health points... How... ! *dodges spear* damn you and your sudden attacks... Yuzuru...

Shana: I'm... Tryin-... Can't g-t... recordin-...

Zieruk: amazing battle! FlameZeroZ won the Finals! Team...-
Shana: sheesh... At least someone didn't get killed once...
Kurei: *whistles* what? It's not my fault you guys get ambushed everytime.. =3=
Raf: anyway... We *cough* were planning to lose anyway right?
Faith: oohh... The pain... Feels.. So.. Good...
*silence fills the air*
