[b]Strike[/b]: I CAN'T SEE!!! I CAN'T SEE!!! [b]Violet[/b]: OH MY GOD!!! [b]Strike[/b]: AAAAAAAAAAGH!!! [b]Violet[/b]: I'M BLIND!!! I'M ACTUALLY BLIND!!! [b]Flint[/b]: WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING OOOOOOOOOON!!! [b][i]--------------------------- Two. Hours. Earlier... ---------------------------[/i][/b] [b]Vance[/b]: Ladies and gentleman, that's the game! [i]The crowd is watching through the school monitors as they applaud and cheer. It is the end of the first round, and the four groups left are Solis' team, Violet's team, Blades' team, and the Summersets. Our guardians are sitting in the Cafeteria, eating lunch before the second round.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Is it just me, or does this seem a little easy? [b]Strike[/b]: Same. The guys in our last game put up a good fight, but we beat em down easy. [b]Solis[/b]: Yeah, well, eat up. it's about to get a whole lot harder now that we're the only teams left. [b]Flint[/b]: I hear that. What are the next match-ups anyways? [b]Violet[/b]: If I'm not mistaken, it should be us against Blades, Sunny, and Bubbles. [b]Blades[/b]: That'll be a blast. [b]Sunny[/b]: Which means that leaves– [b]Solis[/b]: Us and the Summersets... Good... [b]Blades[/b]: I'd ask if you're ready, but I think I already know the answe– [b]Solis[/b]: We were born ready. Our hearts are like steel, we bend for no one. [b]Blades[/b]: I get it, man. That's why I said I already know the an– [b]Solis[/b]: We'll shatter them into a million pieces before they even know what hit em. [b]Blades[/b]: Yes, that's why I– [b]Solis[/b]: Did I mention our hearts are made of steel? [b]Blades[/b]: YES, I heard you the first time! That is why I was going to say tha– [b]Vance[/b] [i](over the loudspeaker)[/i]: Guardians! [b]Blades[/b]: WHAT DO YOU WANT?! [b]Vance[/b]: ....if you all proceed to the courtyard, we can get started. [i][b]----------------------[/b][/i] [i]The guardians all meet in the courtyard, circling around Vance for the next round.[/i] [b]Vance[/b]: Now, before we begin, I'd like to announce the next round's map. For round 2... you will all be playing on Bastion! [b]Storm[/b]: Balls. [b]Vance[/b]: With that said, let's have two clean fights for today. Good luck, guardians. [i]Solis glances over at Erik, who is already gazing at him.[/i] [b]Vance[/b]: Let the games.... begin! [i]The guardians all disappear and spawn in their separate games. [b]-------------------------[/b][/i] [i]Blades' team and Violet's team spawn on opposite sides. A large countdown hologram appears in the sky.[/i] [b]Vance[/b][i] (over the speakers)[/i]: 3... 2... 1... BEGIN! [i]A large ringing sounds off throughout the map. Blades, Sunny, and Bubbles make their way to the center.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Let's take mid, guys. Sunny, you and Bubbles will watch the sides while I take shotty by the upper doorway. [b]Sunny[/b]: Got it! [b]Bubbles[/b]: WAAAIT A MINUTE! [i]They skid to a stop before they reach the middle area.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: What, what's wrong?! [b]Bubbles[/b]: IT COULD BE A TRAP! [i]Blades and Sunny roll their eyes.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Bubbles, it doesn't work like that. Each team is on equal ground, there's no way they could get in there before us. [b]Blades[/b]: Sunny's right. I highly doubt they would try to rush mid at the same time as us. Unless, they're stupi– [i]A sniper shot hits Blades in the back of the head. The high-pitched death alert sounds off.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: F*CK! Bubbles get back! [i]Sunny and Bubbles take cover inside the nearby building.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b]: BLADES. WHY. ARE. YOU. SLEEPING. QUESTION MARK..... EXCLAMATION POINT. COMMA. [b]Sunny[/b]: Blades, can you hear us? [b]Blades[/b] [i](across the comms[/i]): Yeah, loud and clear. Look, don't go outside. Flint is sniping up top, and you know him. [b]Sunny[/b]: Oh yeah... Deadeye son of a gun... Where are the other two? [b]Blades[/b]: Violet is next to him, and Strike isn't there. She's probably flanking. [b]Sunny[/b]: Alright. Bubbles, here's what were gonna do– [i]Sunny looked around, only just realizing that Bubbles was no longer next to him.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Wait a minute.... Where's Bubbles? [b]Bubbles[/b] [i](from outside)[/i]: Oh, HI STRIKE! How are yo- OW! [i]Sunny hears the death alert sound off again.[/i] [b]Bubbles[/b] [i](now over the comms)[/i]: Meanie. [b]Blades[/b]: Bubbles, for the sixteenth time, Trials of Osiris is not an ice cream social [b]Bubbles[/b]: Hey, she's crouching on my body!! [b]Blades[/b]: She's teabagging you, Bubbles. [b]Bubbles[/b]: .........oh. [b]Sunny[/b]: Everyone shut it! Look, Blades, can you see Flint or Violet up top? [b]Blades[/b]: Nah, they went left. My body's in the clear, come get me. [b]Sunny[/b]: Copy that. [i]Sunny runs outside and revives Blades. Once Blades spawns is up, they run back inside and make their way to the second floor.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Bubbles, can you see them from where your ghost is? [b]Bubbles[/b]: No, but Jimmy the bird is over here. We're playing Go-fish. [b]Blades[/b]: I'll take that as just a no. Sunny, how close is your self-res? [b]Sunny[/b]: Close. Couple more minutes, I think. [b]Blades[/b]: Good. Then let's go with Plan B. [b]Sunny[/b]: Wait, THAT?! But Blades, I told you before! It'll destroy my Light Level! I'm not gonna do any damage! [b]Blades[/b]: I realize that. But we don't have any other choice. No offense to Bubbles, but this was a 3 v 2 from the start. We need to even the odds. [b]Sunny[/b]: ....alright. Fine. [b]Blades[/b]: Good. You know what to do, let's get it done! Blades jumps towards the middle, and cuts into center. [i]Sunny jumps outside through the window and glides down into the main courtyard. When they meet in the middle, they pause and look around. There's no sign of them. Not even on the radar.[/i] [b]Sunny[/b]: Think it's it glitch? [b]Blades[/b]: Doubtful. I wonder if it's– [i]Flint snipes Blades, again, from behind.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: Gotcha! [b]Blades[/b]: DAMNIT! Sunny, get to cover! [b]Sunny[/b]: I can't, there's nowhere to ru– [i]Violet slides up to Sunny from around the corner and charges him, but Sunny hits her with his melee, bringing up a flame shield in the process. She tries to shoot down his shield as her health starts to burn away, but Sunny pulls out his shotgun and fires, sending the Voidwalker back against the wall. A kill alert echoes across the area, Violet's ghost now hovering where she was. Just before Sunny turn around, though, Flint snipes him too.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: Haha! 2 for 2! [i]A large timer hologram appeared in the sky, counting down from five. As soon as that timer reached zero, Violet, Flint, and Strike would win the game.[/i] [b]Flint[/b][i] (reviving Violet)[/i]: That was a good game, guys. You put up a good fight! [i]The timer ticks to 4.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Sunny, you ready? [b]Sunny[/b]: Switching now. [b]Violet[/b]: Yeah, good game! [i]The timer is now at 3 seconds.[/i] [b]Blades[/b]: Sunny? [b]Sunny[/b]: I know! [i]The timer turns to 2.[/i] [b]Strike[/b]: For a second, there, I thought we were gonna lose. [i]A bright red 1 flashes in the sky.[/i] [b]Blades[/b] [i](over the comms)[/i]: SUNNY, DO IT NOW! [i]A large burst of light erupts from Sunny's ghost, lighting up the walls of the map with a blinding white light. The timer is paused at a red 1, no longer counting down.[/i] [b]Flint[/b]: AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! [b]Strike[/b]: I CAN'T SEE!!! I CAN'T SEE!!! [b]Violet[/b]: OH MY GOD!!! [b]Strike[/b]: AAAAAAAAAAGH!!! [b]Violet[/b]: I'M BLIND!!! I'M ACTUALLY BLIND!!! [b]Flint[/b]: WHAT IS GOING OOOOOOOOOON [i][b]----------------[/b][/i] Ran into technical difficulties. Apparently I [i]actually[/i] managed to reach the word limit in a post? Anyways, I'm gonna have to make the episode 5 parts, since I'm just going to release the last bit of this as part 4. [b]TL;DR[/b] Trials Episode is now 5 parts, Part 4 is being released early.
