“…Fine.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijHpdcabCt
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvz8Y7T7HL
Wow, all I had to do is step up and the guy instantly lost any will to fight back. Being tall…is amazing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgmB6DyxP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNiWHAzzx
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mk4qmk5SL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTAWKf1FUl
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WBCfvuI0R
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnibsegkLA0
I’m starting to question the benefits of being tall now…
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YYVmnRimS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpw2PCsQP
Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sVuwSolag
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ0OWdpS8y
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBA6JX4Kmr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJBNCdkuhQ
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPDMMAyJCH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CsfV1FLtQ
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nRDDdFhqE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrwcgcSKA2
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmYONkkEvd
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKCyTrv2eB
Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchOtHWGmwD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozAQDEA46Y
Alyson: “We’re going a bit fast aren’t we?”

Nao: “Sorry.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BrBlntN6m

“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WnUKLCzfK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSrA3IOHBm
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7IRMyQRJP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UhEEZ8Ovp
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnywAS2E9j

We instinctively dodged out of the lasers in different directions. These lasers didn’t come from the front but behind.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymV97Zoknl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExllIldcNo
Alyson: “What the hell?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSf1JMNdv7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CgqpDDuEG
“Did our sniper get taken out?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk7Bd0CWQM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJISYChjA2l
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPc2KfGrCE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EVzVm22ab
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrX3EK4az
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV339efOYN
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo0MwmehBN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyq9Ruxp0Zq
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpsuWxoo0t
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAmLfQCfot
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1G9s7zJhp

Nao: “Hey you.”

Nao: “Maybe this isn’t my first game.”

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….”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXpKlVrYvD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bxLL0vqR4
Just like that, the bell sounded and declared us the victors.

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP27oYLrAG

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,
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy42l8XIpm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNAIJSfH39
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-
