Alyson: “Then it should be fun, I’m not a strict leader. You’ll have fun.”

“…Fine.”

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J3lTf825s
Wow, all I had to do is step up and the guy instantly lost any will to fight back. Being tall…is amazing.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx10oHTpn7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYW7FJzUno
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpljMmZ1E1X
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYE780TSL8
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VHwAmK4nL
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGTYJkyMS7
I’m starting to question the benefits of being tall now…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0jX4fMCYz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDWrWtJJLe
Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFPKzdV4Y
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckWm8gryzj
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNKCuuv379
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvG8QtitxB
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL16osjuDgZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV20nLG0QBK
Alyson: “Impressive, I didn’t know you could dodge something like that.”

Nao: “I was lucky.”

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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRnmrvGTab
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFol8WTQP4y
Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H0e3aaIot
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXcKhXiUjJ
Alyson: “We’re going a bit fast aren’t we?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kp3GeGYhF

Nao: “Sorry.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVkwFLW36T

“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb68ebMFl5W
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV64P5rQKSl
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IHBe3Dilx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZrKxVTc8J
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKhu6bLTOI

We instinctively dodged out of the lasers in different directions. These lasers didn’t come from the front but behind.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq184QWMQJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXSJKui68
Alyson: “What the hell?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qv3fBNzGs
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jA38xGG6d
“Did our sniper get taken out?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGag96PTJ4
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiRfFZU3Iz
That’s not all, I’m separated from the group and silent is out too. Now it’s 3 to 4.

“What know leader?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrjEEDXZ2h

Alyson: “We need to find a position where we’re not flanked.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMdcsAsfvY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SscWIeEMg
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQB2lLU31B
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZ4z70UAB
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi1fIr5bmE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR16bBrbtUP
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63vRJdh8u8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCO9XyV2UU
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aXiuBVcVx

Nao: “Hey you.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeWXb1rhr9

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlAjnn8Tgb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HvVg4kiif
Alyson: “The sniper is too focused on us. He’ll try to leave the tower but our teammate will be there waiting for him. So we’ll win in 3…2….”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfS5fd671mP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPsgDC8X6f
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoWxZJf7Q
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbOPZtRSy8
Nao: “It’s even more incredible that you can admit your mistakes.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHyMBZi8DH

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,
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrHpZkT0gU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvROQ1WBBS
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-
