I walked to the locker room.
"Ok, ready?!" The ninja addressed the cowgirl who stood in front of him.
The soldier and acrobat counted, "1, 2, 3!!"
The cowgirl withdrew her revolvers and fired the whole cylinders at the ninja, the ninja
pulled his sword, and like a knife slicing butter, pierced through the bullets with his sword. The bullets fell on the ground around him split in half.
"Yes, I win! Pay me," demanded the soldier to the acrobat.
"Not so fast, look at my leg," a bullet had ripped a small area of the ninja's leggings and a drop of blood stained the spot.
The cowgirl grabbed a Band-Aid from her locker and sealed the ninja's wound, "take it easy. We can swing more than iron rods side to side if you ever come visit me to Rodeo."
"Hey! We're just sparring before the game starts! My name is Arnold. I'm a lieutenant at the LTC," the soldier noticed me, waved his hand, stood up, and approached me while lighting a cigarette on his way here.
The acrobat did a front flip towards me, landing next to the soldier, "I'm Tyrone, a dealer for the NIMH, and I'm tired of this cancer causing shit!" The acrobat slapped away Arnold's cigarette.
Arnold: "bruh!"
Stolen novel; please report.
Like cat's horse-playing, they started trading head punches while spinning on the floor… My eyes were wide-open in disbelief at the odd fighting scene.
"I'm Amy from the LTC faction. I usually manage farms for my boss, the man you saw me walking next to."
"I'm Sasuke from the Miya faction. Professional assassin."
"I'm…John, former cryptographer at MBI…" I was feeling that awkward moment when you just don't belong in the party.
"Haha, you're not one of us," said the acrobat while sitting on top of the soldier’s chest and aiming his fist at the his nose.
"This is the first time the hosts have organized this," the soldier added while squeezing the acrobat’s neck.
"What!? You’re as lost as me?!" I asked in amusement.
"Yeah, they wanted to limit the game to 4 of us. They decided to include a wildcard last minute," explained the cowgirl.
"Although we have experience in other areas, we are also new to, the game," said the ninja while returning the sword to its scabbard.
"And the games will begin in 5 minutes. Are you ready!?" We heard from the speakers followed by the crowd cheering in excitement.
"We don't have much time left. Check your locker," said Arnold as he and Tyrone were standing up.
I opened the locker with my name: a handgun with 3 bullets, 2 grenades, and a 10" hunter’s knife. The items were placed inside a custom made leather harness. I wore the harness, then a camera popped up from it next to my shoulder, and started recording.
"Hmm, trying to get the action from all angles," said Amy when she saw my camera and the rest of them wore their harness which only had a camera but no weapons. I figured Amy would use her revolvers and Sazuke his sword, but what about the other 2?
"Ready players?! Let's go!" 2 hostesses jumped cheerfully into the locker room and we followed them outside.
