“…Fine.”

445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuJnjdLWi9
Wow, all I had to do is step up and the guy instantly lost any will to fight back. Being tall…is amazing.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXLdPDrgFS
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZrZGSWhxq
Alyson: “Okay, we need to the lay of the land. Has anyone played here before ?”

One of the men, the quiet one, raises their hand.

Alyson: “Great, you’ll lead us through the area. Act like a scout, alert us of enemies with a hand raise and point.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMM9UCGF3h
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN9GFXnbv3
Alyson: “Alphon, you’ll be second in line. Draw enemy fire with your size while the rest of us take out the ones that give their position away.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmonlAdZ2W7
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yg07IZ3OA
I’m starting to question the benefits of being tall now…
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq38MuoanX
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fa4pTsSMB
Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD74YpzuPts
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bSMdP2l7y
We all nod in time for the ring to sound the start of the match. We march into the darkness with, I’ll call him silent, leading.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsikBljpCi
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4COi7jnpAs
The march through the fog was uneventful until I automatically dodge the laser. I didn’t move faster than the laser but somehow moved before they fired…like I did this before.

No words needed, my group returned fire to the left side of the arena. It was a quick firefight since the other team decided to change locations. In the end, we took out 1 person based on their overacted scream of defeat.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj7WAX2pku

Alyson: “Impressive, I didn’t know you could dodge something like that.”

She sends the most normal guy in the group to secure the tower. The rest of us begin stalking the other team that escaped to a new position.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlnJ1HQRaz

Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.

Nao: “Sorry.”

“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuogl9hA7O6
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5NAXSiDOx
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZRmLAJp7e
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVMTDJSaXD
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nl3NjLMCo

We instinctively dodged out of the lasers in different directions. These lasers didn’t come from the front but behind.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJx8XqTnii

Alyson: “What the hell?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtpgYKX6bD

“Did our sniper get taken out?”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4bfs9O3mj
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDivCtRisC
That’s not all, I’m separated from the group and silent is out too. Now it’s 3 to 4.

Alyson: “We need to find a position where we’re not flanked.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBeUt6CBiK
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pic709hGr
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyAXkPCgI7
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyAhBVKa5m
I might be cheating a bit but Alyson does want to win and it’s a great way to make an impression.

I create the illusion that their armor is flashing as if they got hit. Instantly, I can hear confusion among the three. Only one of them can see their lights flashing. When the others try to prevent him from leaving, I sprint out of my position.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nzSfvCkc0
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7kG06W2U1
I hit 2 of them, including the one I used illusion on while dodge rolling out of potential fire. I keep running hoping neither the sniper or the last guy hit me.

No. I look to my armor chest but it’s not flashing. I turn to see an angry guy, the one I failed to take out, leaving the field. Behind him was Alyson, I guess she knew when to jump in.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSnxS26dkO
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwXYo5BU6l
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTDpNPc3tR

Nao: “Hey you.”

445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvhANca6C6

Just like that, the bell sounded and declared us the victors.

Nao: “Wow, you’re incredible.”

Alyson: “I know, but I could’ve been better. I lost two guys, I should’ve sent to into the tower.”
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeaLvXGHnH

Nao: “It’s even more incredible that you can admit your mistakes.”

I wish you do that more often.

It might be dark but I can see Alyson’s blush as if it were glowing. She really is falling for me….Alphon. Despite that fact,
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DKc1pr1Ip
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4uhwLcoPK
I move her head towards mine and watch as she closes her eyes in acceptance. I try to tell myself that she only likes Alphon for his looks and nothing else but I can’t stop myself. I bring my lips closer to hers and-
