Chapter 4 - Against the Drakes

Scout was wandering around the Centre. It should be a piece of cake finding Crates because it's not the Rain Forest Map they're in, it's the City Zone. Zone of exaggerated buildings. But because of the concept of the map where buildings are distributed away from each other and a walls connecting to the buildings, making it more like a puzzel. Finding some Crates became a hard thing for Scout as he stop for a moment to adjust his own self. By using a theory, he believe he could somehow decode this myterious things happening on the Crates. "It must be their works" he whispered as he was looking in an open sky. A minutes later, in Kalix and Kayn's situation. They were fighting off against Grant and Mice. It was not an easy task for them, as they were the two best fighter of the Drakes. By hindering their moves, Kalix throw a really hard punch in Mice's guts making him immobile of guarding or escaping. And then another sniper shot was heard striking Grant head. Mice became nervous as he anticipated that after Grant, he might be the second one to be shot. He begged them for mercy. But he was finished off by Kalix. And now only Doom is the Drakes last card to reshape this situation. But as they arrive in the scene where Hiro and Doom where fighting fiercely. There was no one, so they thought Hiro ended Doom because if it was Hiro who got defeated then it would notified them. Until just a seconds they were confuse, a notification appeared above in the open sky from their base.

"R. Crate have been stolen" it says. Kalix then rush towards their base to see Doom. But he couldn't spot him, the only thing sure for him, is that Doom was probably on his way to their base to craft the Rocket Launcher. Kalix immediately chats saying to rush the Centre. And after that, he follows, and he commanded Shina to go to the highest building he can go, and if you found Doom, shot him immediately. And then on Scout, Kayn and Hiro's situation. They were trying to get outside of the Centre to defend the way from Doom from making into their base, and with that. It's gonna be Shina's job to take care. But it wasn't as smooth. Before they can even go out, they spotted a faint shadow of Doom passing them. They couldn't catch up. And Shina couldn't catch him with her eyes stably, but she just go with. She fired a shot when the Scope catches him. And it was a miss, but it was not useless as Doom's movement was interrupted by the shot. Doom sneak to a building. And Shina was still anticipating for him to come out, but as she stop scoping, and she looked at the map. She notices that the building he sneaked it is a building that's facing to their base on the last part of the Centre where he can just go straight to it into their base without being seen. Shina immediately chats saying. "HE'S IN THE LAST BUILDING THAT'S FACING THEIR BASE" Shina chatted, as she immediately adjusted her position. They were so desperate in the situation trying to catch Doom. But in just a minute, a notification appeared again but now it was in the Centre.

"Rocket Launcher have been crafted" it says. And that's when they knew, they were defeated. Scout, Kayn, Hiro and Shina just stop from what they're doing, as they look in up in the night sky. And in a minute. The Rocket Launcher have been Launch soaring through the sky. Scout, Kayn and Hiro was stun at how beautiful the Rocket was as it passes through above their head. It was their first time seeing it in actual and in close up. While Kalix was still running and desperate as he look up and saw the Rocket passes him. He still couldn't move on from his past. But another gunshot was heard, it interrupted them, even Kalix who was running. He then stop himself and he breath heavily. He then inhale, and exhale. After all of that. The Rocket hit the Acacia and exploded making them logged out in the VR Engines. T3 members got up from their bed looked so down and sad. Their first game wasn't as good as they thought. They then came out of their room to see the other members.

"Hey" says Hiro.

"What happened to you Hiro? you're the ones facing Doom right?" Scout asks.

"I defeated him, I just don't know there was a revive thingy on the game" Hiro replied.

"no you didn't" Kayn mutters.

"What?! you didn't even saw me fighting him!" Hiro responded.

"You got tricked" says Scout.

"For real?!" Hiro asks.

"Next time Hiro, don't let your guard down. Especially to an experience Players" Kalix scolded him.

After that they came to the Stage where teams will stop by for the Announcement.

"As expected always. Drakes achieved victory!" Mayor Ronald announces as the VIPs where clapping. A silence enveloped T3's sorrounding. But it was a nice thing for them that they got defeated to experience different kinds of tactics. At least that will be a lesson for them. And then Kalix propose to eat a snack after that intense play.

"Let's eat" says Kalix.

"Im not in the mood" Hiro bitterly says.

Everyone suddenly surprise when they heard that from Hiro.

"Are you upset that i scolded you?" Kalix asks.

"No im not. Im just not in the mood after that defeat" Hiro responded.

"My treat" Kalix says.

Hiro's expression suddenly switches as he heard that. "I kinda wanna eat pudding!"

"loser" Kayn mutters.

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ATTACK ME?!" Hiro aggressively asks.

At last. It ended with a smile on their faces. As they walk outside of the Gymnasion.

"Wait" Kalix says. "What's that gunshot i heard when the Rocket passes me?. Shina?" he added.

"Oh. I just thought i can stop the Rocket with it" Shina replied.

"Oh" says Kalix. And so they continued walking through the night market just near outside the Gymnasion.
