Server IP 924.213.1239 - Templar's private server
Several soldiers were sitting around, the white room walls and floor seemed to shine slightly everytime someone touched it. Suddenly, the whole room turned yellow. A female voice echoed through the place. "Warning, unusual net adresses detected, prepare for possible virus attack." The soldiers started all got up from their seats, leaving books and card games behind, wich dissipated in thin air as data as soon as they were dropped by the templars. The several soldiers then started pressing buttons on small devices on their wrists, as they did, they were covered with a greenish light, and when the light disappeared they were on their uniforms. Some of the soldiers started talking. "Finally, some action." The other one grunted and commented. "You're actually hoping for an attack?! Let's just hope it's some idiot trying to hack the game or something." Another soldier sighed heavily and then said. "Do you think it's Monk again? How many times have we scared he and his team away now? Six?" The soldier who had talked previously answered. "I don't know, let's hope it's nothing too serious."
Meanwhile...
Server IP 473.254.5482 - Public match, Touchdown Match
(Not everyone needs necessarily to be in the same team, although considering the number of players we currently have, that'd be the best option. Also, read this part of the post while listening to this. )
The map loaded, it seemed to resemble a city in feudal japan, there were two big typical houses, each in opposite sides of the street, unfitting to the rest of the scenery, a small platform stood right in the middle of the street. A big screen appeared floating above the street. A man wearing a black suit and and thick black sunglasses appeared on it.
"Yeah yeah ya'll ready?
It's time for the S4 League
We're about to explode like a bomb
That's right put your finger on the trigger
We're just gettin bigger
Cause here we go yo
Bring it up Supersonic!"
Show me your S4!
As the Fumbi Ball appeared on the platform the doors of both houses bursted open, armed players started flooding out from them, one or two players could be seen taking a shortcut and jumping through the window instead.
"Jump yo S4 League in the house ya'll
You know what time it is
S4 League baby, about to blow up"
One of the players who jumped out of the window landed right on top of the platform, grabbing the ball.
"Adrian from the Alpha team got the ball!"
"Movin at the speed of sound Supersonic
So fast can't put your hands on it
Movin at the speed of sound Supersonic
So fast can't put your hands on it"
In a flash, Adrian's counter sword appeared in his hands, the small shortsword on the left, and the giant metal glove on the right, he held the ball below his left armpit. He rose his right first upwards, creating a shockwave of energy that some of the enemies from the other team flying.
"Movin at the speed of sound Supersonic
So fast can't put your hands on it
Movin at the speed of sound Supersonic
So fast can't put your hands on it
Don't blink or we're gonna be gone
And you won't even know what's going on
Don't blink or we're gonna be gone
And you won't even know what's going on"
Adrian rushed through the opening he created, he jumped, and then jumped again using another of player's head as a platform.
"Yeah
Come on ya'll
Ya'll ready for this?
That's right you heard me boy
I don't think you can hear me!
Check it out
Come on ya'll
Ya'll ready for this?
I don't think you can hear me!
Check it out"
While midair, he yelled out "Anchoring!" A board appeared below his feet and then fired a hook towards the house were the enemies were coming from. He landed inside the big house.
"You know you know you have ta
Bring it on a little fasta
That's right baby, Supersonic
Ya'll better jump right on it"
Adrian ran through the crowded hall for a while, as he was about to turn his way around the hall, he quickly jumped backwards, barely dodging the minigun's fire. He sighed with relief, hidden behind the wall. When the other person stopped firing, Adrian immediately rushed out of hiding, running in the enemy's direction. The opponent's weapon was still heating up as Adrian's glove connected with his face, sending him against the wall.
"Rock the microphone till the break of dawn
Come on everybody in the place to be
Havin a good time with MC Mike B come on
Yeah yeah yeah
Alright enough messin around
It's time for the S4 League to explode
We hope ya'll ready
So bring your mobs cause we're droppin bombs
Bring your friends till the party ends
S4 League baby in full effect, that's right"
As he was about to turn around and continue, Adrian saw another enemy dashing full speed in his direction, this time equipped with a plasma sword.
"If you can't hear better leave the room
We're droppin bombs like a sonic boom
If you can't hear better leave the room
We're droppin bombs like a sonic boom
Like a rocket ship fall up in space
Time to blast yo pickup the pace
Rocket ship fall up in space
Time to blast yo pickup the pace"
Adrian slid the ball through his left arm and then threw it up, he jumped, spinning his body around and picking the ball with his right arm, while pointing out his shortsword in the enemy's direction who was walking so fast he was unable to stop on time, as soon as he touched the sword the member of the opposing team dissipated in raw data.
"Movin at the speed of sound Supersonic
So fast can't put your hands on it
Don't blink or we're gonna be gone
And you won't even know what's goin on
Come on everybody and look alive
We're gonna take this into overdrive
Don't be afraid to love the speed
Cause right about now that's what you need"
Adrian threw the ball upwards again, while the ball was in the air he switched from the counter sword to his revolver, after picking up the ball again, he rushed onwards.
"You know you know you have ta
Bring it on a little fasta
You know you know you have ta
Bring it on a little fasta
Come ya'll
Ya'll ready for this?
That's right you heard me boy
I don't think you can hear me!
Check it out"
He saw the goal not standing too far from him, he grinned slightly and then jumped in the goal's direction, rising the fumbi up and preparing the smash down against the goal. He was then shot midair by a senty nell. As Adrian spawned back in his team's house, he stomped his foot on the ground. "Damnit, so close!"
"Come on ya'll
Ya'll ready for this?
That's right you heard me boy
I don't think you can hear me!
Check it out
Rock the microphone till the break of dawn
Come on everybody in the place to be
Havin a good time with MC Mike B
Come on"
(OOC: Anyone can finish that goal if they want to, by the way. Also for the sake of simplicity Senty Nell = Sentry Gun.)

Aaron equipped his own plasma sword and ran into the opponents base.
"Ha ha! Tonight I dine in Avalon, kids!" Running around he hacked and slashed at his opponenets clearing the way for his allies.
A sudden blast stopped him for a second as he saw an ally get blasted by a Nell.
"Bad luck dude." he team chatted.
Swing his plasma sword around at his opponents, he soon realised his own HP was dropping.
"I'll try and score the goal, it'll probably be suicide though!"
He rushed forwards the short distance in and grabbed the Fumbi.
A second away from the goal and a rail gun hit him.
"You win some you lose some. We can still win, we'll dine in Avalon! Ha ha."
Moments later, he was spawned right back at his home goal.
"If this was chaser mode..." he sighed.

I got it...I got it...I GOT IT!
He whacked the player coming up the stairs in his base. He flew against the wall, died, and dropped the fumbi. His team mate had missed a Touch Down, but no biggie. He noticed him re-spawning once again, angry a little after his TD fail. Ammaro motioned to him to follow (Niscp) and he ran down the stairs. Hiding in the bushes across the yard near his base, he waited for an enemy to appear at the platform and taste a Revolver shot to the head. No one came. He rushed the ball, up the stairs, and through the open window of the opponent temple. The goal was ahead! But so were 2 enemy players with Counter Swords and a Sentry Nell waiting for him. Trying out his luck he walked to the side, sidestepping a Counter Sword shock-wave. He fell through the hole leading to their re-spawn and dieing from a shot from one of his team mates on the way. One down...gotta hurry up before more show. Ammaro stepped on the boxes as the other remaining enemy rushed at him with a furry attack. Jumping over him he quickly moved so the sentry gun wouldn't spot him. Ouch! He was taking damage. Quickly...QUICKLY...YES! He used a Plasma Sword to dash into the goal and made the Touch Down. The announcer and the crowd watching cheered and some of his team mates congratulated him. It was 1:0 their win.

[OOC: Ok uhm...I'm sorry but i'm gonna have to ask everyone to ignore the 10:9 thing, and for amaro to edit it out, i still need the game to last a bit longer...I'm sorry Amaro but that's really something you should've asked first, the game just started, actually.]
Akira was sitting on a roof of one of the buildings. Through his scope, he could see the other team moving with the Fumbi. He saw the players with the Fumbi through the window of the opposite building and took a shot. It bounced off the wall mere inches from the players head. "Tch, they got lucky." The other team scored and all the players were returned to their respective bases. "Let's see some defense this time," Akira said as he was on his way to the other base. He bypassed the Fumbi and instead resumed his sniping post on the roof, ready to take out anyone going for the goal.
After respawning, Aaron equipped his burst shotgun and headed on back to the fight, although this time, he took his time and a more strategic method.
A sudden blast caused him to leap into the air, dodging a shot with great luck.
He fired several shots in the attackers direction, only just making a hit.
Landing back on the ground, he ran ahead out of the attackers view.
"Damn that was close!"
Moving on, he took a plasma sword hit and flew back into a wall.
"Spoke too soon."
Recovering, he aimed his shotgun and fired again, greatly lowering the attacking players health.
Another hit, and Aaron was KO'd again.
"Gah... "

Another player named Aaron seemed to be doing really good and was putting the hurt on Akira's team. He moved gracefully and managed to dish out good damage even while taking some himself. Akira smiled. "Sorry, I can't let you live." He pulled the trigger and sniped Aaron from on top of the roof. He reloaded his gun before sniping another player going after the Fumbi. "Someone grab the ball!" he yelled to his team. "Believe it or not, I can't win this alone."
Well they were winning. Both teams had re-spawned once more at their bases.
"Guys, I'm gonna go deffense for this match. Alpha, back up Nicsp if he grabs the ball. I'll stay here and protect the goal post."
He hurried back to his team goal and set up a wall along with one sentry and one nell on either side. He took out his Plasma Sword, dying for someone to try to come to their goal post.
Announcer:
"Alpha team has the ball!"
Ammaro quickly rushed to the window to get a view of the skirmish going on in front of then opponent base.

Adrian let out a short giggle as he advanced towards the ball. "What's this? People are relying on me alredy?" Just as he finished saying that, he noticed the sniper on the roof, who had just hit one of his teammates. Adrian rose an eyebrow. He unattached the small device he had on his belt and approached it to his mouth, talking in the "team" chat. "All right, someone else get the ball, i'm going to take care of that sniper." Adrian then ran up closer to the enemy base, he looked up at the sniper, who he had expected to have alredy noticed him by now. Adrian used a stack of boxes to jump up to the roofs, reaching there his weapons switched to Counter Sword. He jumped in Akira's direction, rising his fist. "Like that old internet meme says...FALCON PAAAAAAAAAAAWNNNCH!" Adrian's fist was going in Akira's direction at full speed, even if it didn't hit it's target, it would probably destroy part of the ceiling.
Akira noticed Adrien coming from miles away but he was quick. He deftly dodged all of the shots Akira fired and was on the roof before he knew it. "Dammit!" Akira cried and jumped back from the attack, pulling out his katana for close-quarters combat. The attack still connected but he was able to evade the full force of the blow. The entire roof was destroyed and they both fell into the building onto the top floor. Which meant Akira was standing in the middle of the enemy's base. "Well shit..." he said and held out his revolver in his other hand. "This probably won't end well." He grinned like a maniac. "BUT I WOULDN'T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY ADRIEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN!!!" he yelled and lunged for Adrien with his blade.
(OOC: Oops, sorry for taking so long.)
Adrian let out a short grin while getting up from the remains of the roof. "Well, good to see people being so enthusiastic about it." As Akira lunged in his direction, Adrian put his giant armored glove in front of it, blocking the attack and getting the glove and the katana stuck to each other. Adrian let out a short giggle. "Well looks like we're a bit stuck here, lucky me i have two weap- Oh damnit." Just then he realized that while the roof was crashing into pieces he let go of his short sword and it was now probably lost somewhere amidst all of the wrecks. Adrian moved his arm accordingly, trying to keep Akira from being able to take his sword out. "Heh...You're pretty good...Akira is it? Hehe, weren't for the fact i lost my blade i would've won by now you know..." Adrian talked cheerily, while trying to think of a way to get out of that situation. If i use my glove to attack, i'll leave an opening...But i can't just stand here in a contest of mights against this guy forever. Adrian looked down on his fist and then at Akira, it wasn't covered with plate but it was still a fist. "I'll hate myself for this, i'm sure...Take this!" With that said, Adrian quickly tried to pull his glove and consequently Akira's sword out of the way to make space for Adrian's other fist, who was alredy heading into Akira's direction.

(OoC: No sweat.)
The hell?! Hand-to-hand with no weapon?! Adrien certainly was an interesting player to say the least. He was able to disarm Akira but there was one fatal flaw in his plan: Akira already had his revolver in his other hand. "This....is checkmate!!" He thrust the barrel under Adrien's chin and pulled the trigger. (OoC: There really isn't a conceivable way out of this so I hope this isn't god-modding.)
"CRITICAL!!" the annoying announcer yelled. Akira continued firing until Adrien was down.
He let out a maniacal laugh as he realized he was surrounded by the rest of the enemy team. "Yes! Come to me!" He had lost his katana so he fired his revolver and danced elegantly around his opponents, killing two more, until he had to reload. He tossed his gun aside and smiled. If he can do it, then so can I!!! He ran at another opponent with his fists but it didn't take long for others to gun him down.
He re-spawned at the base. "Tch. Maybe I'll go on the offensive this time."

Adrian's movement was answered with a revolver to the face, instinctively, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again he found himself back in his base spawn, he put his hands on his chin and then a shiver went by him. One good thing about death and pain in here, you don't actually feel it... "Thank Esper by that." He muttered. Adrian then looked at his hands and realized that his short sword had been teleported back to his hand, he looked at it with an angry glare. "You're late, you know." He talked to the weapon, he took a moment and looked around to see if there was anyone looking and then sighed heavily. "Am i going crazy or what? I'm talking a digital sword, oh for phooey's sake." Adrian continued to grunt to himself as he walked back into the battle.
Meanwhile...
In the center of the map, in the middle of the street that divided the two bases, there was a small well, a small green light emanated from it for a few seconds and then disappeared. Seconds after, a small spider-like creature climbed out of it, it looked from one side to another, sneakily, spying on everyone fighting each other. It crawled out of the well and made it's way into a nearby bush and there it stood for a moment. It didn't take long until one of the players tried to use that same bush as his hideout, only a short yelp escaped. After a moment, out from the bush came the same player, but this time changed, his clothing and skin were all pitch black and he was now wearing a black diving helmet. Several 0's and 1's seemed to emanate from him, making some sort of aura.
Server IP 924.213.1239 - Templar's private server
"We found it!" One of the templars exclaimed. It's on server 473.254.5482, all right everyone, let's get moving."
Server IP 473.254.5482 - Public match, Touchdown Match
The game's music stopped playing. Adrian looked from one side to another. "Huh? Heeey...Who turned off the sound?" He then looked up to notice that the screen where the announcer was had lost it's signal, only static remained in the screen. "Huh...? Did we lose connection to the server or something?" Just then, the screen turned back to normal this time completely black. Suddenly, in the center of the screen, a green symbol of a spider appeared. The game system's voice entered in a loop and the enviroment's sky turned red. "Virus detected. Virus detected. Virus detected." All of the players were immediately teleported back to the base, this time however, all of the players were for some reason shifted to the Alpha team. They looked around in confusion. "What's happening?!" "Did that voice say virus!?" "Hey...Isn't the maximum for each team five people?" The announcer's voice returned.
"05346 got the ball!"
Adrian took a peek out through the base's window, he saw the said player standing there, right where he had picked up the Fumbi, with a semi-rifle in one hand and playing with the fumbi with the another. "What kind of a name is that, anyways?" One of the other players started dashing his way out of the base. Adrian yelled out to him. "Hey! Where are you going?!" The player yelled out. "What do you think? I'm going to recover the bal-" He was interrupted as a semi-rifle bullet hit him right in the head as soon as he left through the door. Adrian stared down at the player's body disappearing in a bunch of data, he looked back at the spawn point, but nothing happened. "He isn't spawning back..." One of the other players finally took the time to state the obvious. "Wh-What?! Then...Then it's one of those viruses?!" Adrian simply nodded, he seemed serious. After a moment he turned around to face the rest of the players, this time smiling. "Don't worry guys, the templars probably alredy noticed this, they'll be here anytime." One of the other players started yelling out. "What's the point? We are in the same server as it...We're stuck in the game now...Forever!" The several people started to panick. "What?! I can't be stuck here! I have a date tonight!" "Unbelieavable, i should've never started playing this stupid game in the first place!"
Adrian simply watched as everyone started to panic. I don't understand what's so wrong with being stuck...We'll still be alive...We just won't...Be able to return to reality. That's not a completely bad thing...This is a fantasy world, is it not? Isn't it supposed to be perfect? He snapped out of thought as one of the players, a black haired boy using a space suit, walked up to Adrian. Adrian analyzed the player, his name was Taejo Waraki, his level was very high if compared to most of the other people around. Taejo spoke up. "I'm not gonna sit around here with that thing outside just dieing for a fight! I say we fight it back!" Adrian rose an eyebrow. "I don't think that's a good idea...If you get defeated just once you'll be turned into a virus too, and unlike us, that thing can respawn." Taejo brushed his hair out of his face. "Hah! I'm the legendary Taejo Waraki, winner of last year's S4 League tourney, a mere player would never-" Adrian interrupted. "Two players." Taejo looked at Adrian, obviously angry for being interrupted. "What?" Adrian started explaining. "He got the other guy, he probably is also a virus now."
Taejo let out a short 'tch'. "Like that would ever make a difference, two low level players are no match for me." Despite the fact that Taejo was obviously an idiot with an overly inflated ego, some people amidst the crowd seemed to be actually considering what he was saying. Adrian sighed. "Look, this really isn't a good ide-" Taejo pushed Adrian aside. "Out of the way, newbie! Whoever wants to fight with me, come now or stay here and wet your pants like Adrian there!" Said Taejo while walking towards the door. Adrian sighed heavily. Idiot...Hopefully not many people will foll- Oh you gotta be kidding me. A large portion of the players who were in the crowd decided to go with Taejo. After a few moments, the sounds of gun fire echoed from the streets, but after a while, it stopped. Adrian looked outside, a whole horde of viruses now stood outside, all armed and the the one who had picked the fumbi hadn't barely moved from his original position, he was still just there playing with the Fumbi, next to him were several other viruses, one of them wore a space suit, similar to Taejo's except it was black.
Adrian took a deep sigh and sat on the floor, he then looked at the remaining players, the ones who didn't walk out with Taejo. He immediately recognized the other player he had fought against a few seconds before, Akira. There were also three other players, the guy who had scored the first touchdown, Ammaro. The guy who was constantly talking about something called Avalon, about Adrian had no idea of what it was whatsoever, Aaron. And a girl, who he hadn't seen do anything specially interesting, Annabelle. He looked at everyone and then sighed. "Well, as you can see...That didn't work out very well. I suppose we'll just sit here and hope that they don't try to rush inside." Adrian scratched the back of his head and then started gesturing with his hands as he spoke. "So since we're here, might as well talk. Uh...My name's Adrian. But...You don't need me to tell you that...Uhm..." Adrian scratched the back of his head again. "So uhm...Wanna play rock, paper, scissors or something?"
Adrian's movement was answered with a revolver to the face, instinctively, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again he found himself back in his base spawn, he put his hands on his chin and then a shiver went by him. One good thing about death and pain in here, you don't actually feel it... "Thank Esper by that." He muttered.

One of the other players finally took the time to state the obvious. "Wh-What?! Then...Then it's one of those viruses?!" Adrian simply nodded, he seemed serious. After a moment he turned around to face the rest of the players, this time smiling. "Don't worry guys, the templars probably alredy noticed this, they'll be here anytime." One of the other players started yelling out. "What's the point? We are in the same server as it...We're stuck in the game now...Forever!" The several people started to panick. "What?! I can't be stuck here! I have a date tonight!" "Unbelieavable, i should've never started playing this stupid game in the first place!"
Adrian simply watched as everyone started to panic. I don't understand what's so wrong with being stuck...We'll still be alive...We just won't...Be able to return to reality. That's not a completely bad thing...This is a fantasy world, is it not? Isn't it supposed to be perfect? He snapped out of thought as one of the players, a black haired boy using a space suit, walked up to Adrian. Adrian analyzed the player, his name was Taejo Waraki, his level was very high if compared to most of the other people around. Taejo spoke up. "I'm not gonna sit around here with that thing outside just dieing for a fight! I say we fight it back!" Adrian rose an eyebrow. "I don't think that's a good idea...If you get defeated just once you'll be turned into a virus too, and unlike us, that thing can respawn." Taejo brushed his hair out of his face. "Hah! I'm the legendary Taejo Waraki, winner of last year's S4 League tourney, a mere player would never-" Adrian interrupted. "Two players." Taejo looked at Adrian, obviously angry for being interrupted. "What?" Adrian started explaining. "He got the other guy, he probably is also a virus now."
Taejo let out a short 'tch'. "Like that would ever make a difference, two low level players are no match for me." Despite the fact that Taejo was obviously an idiot with an overly inflated ego, some people amidst the crowd seemed to be actually considering what he was saying. Adrian sighed. "Look, this really isn't a good ide-" Taejo pushed Adrian aside. "Out of the way, newbie! Whoever wants to fight with me, come now or stay here and wet your pants like Adrian there!" Said Taejo while walking towards the door. Adrian sighed heavily. Idiot...Hopefully not many people will foll- Oh you gotta be kidding me. A large portion of the players who were in the crowd decided to go with Taejo. After a few moments, the sounds of gun fire echoed from the streets, but after a while, it stopped. Adrian looked outside, a whole horde of viruses now stood outside, all armed and the the one who had picked the fumbi hadn't barely moved from his original position, he was still just there playing with the Fumbi, next to him were several other viruses, one of them wore a space suit, similar to Taejo's except it was black.
Adrian took a deep sigh and sat on the floor, he then looked at the remaining players, the ones who didn't walk out with Taejo. He immediately recognized the other player he had fought against a few seconds before, Akira. There were also three other players, the guy who had scored the first touchdown, Ammaro. The guy who was constantly talking about something called Avalon, about Adrian had no idea of what it was whatsoever, Aaron. And a girl, who he hadn't seen do anything specially interesting, Annabelle. He looked at everyone and then sighed. "Well, as you can see...That didn't work out very well. I suppose we'll just sit here and hope that they don't try to rush inside." Adrian scratched the back of his head and then started gesturing with his hands as he spoke. "So since we're here, might as well talk. Uh...My name's Adrian. But...You don't need me to tell you that...Uhm..." Adrian scratched the back of his head again. "So uhm...Wanna play rock, paper, scissors or something?"
"Hmph," Akira grunted when Adrien suggested they play rock-paper-scissors. "I'm Akira. You may have heard of me." He switched out his katana for his rail gun. "You had some pretty sweet moves back there," he said to Adrien as he walked to the window. He rarely complimented anyone. He reserved them for especially exceptional players. "Taejo had a point but he was an idiot. I'm not gonna sit around and wait to become like them." He grinned. "I'll kill them all. Or my name isn't Akira Saizo." He shot one in the head. CRITICAL! "Tch, as expected. They aren't so easy. Watch my back, Adrien."
Aaron sighed heavily.
"I left a burger in my microwave."
Almost crying, he stood up and scratched the back of his head.
"So, while we wait... for news from the Templars, lets just relax."
He would have said before one of the players that killed him, Akira, just fired at the virus player.
"Hey come on! This really isn't a good idea! If you can shoot at the virus it can probably shoot back!"
"I left a burger in my microwave."
Almost crying, he stood up and scratched the back of his head.

"Hey come on! This really isn't a good idea! If you can shoot at the virus it can probably shoot back!"
A guy named Aaron was whining about Akira fighting the virus players. "They're like zombies," Akira scoffed. "They're just standing around out there waiting to get shot." He killed another one. "That's two down. It doesn't seem like they're re-spawning. Huh, wonder where they go." He began firing at another. "This'll take all day, though. I'm getting bored." He put down his gun and sighed. Where's the fun if there's no challenge? He looked down at the horde. Fighting them all in close-quarters could be fun. But I'm not so stupid as to try it. He left his post by the window and sat down in the middle of the floor. He looked at the others. Great, stuck in here with these guys. What a pain...Oh well, better than being a zombie. "I guess....we could, uh, play rock-paper-scissors or whatever," he said aloud. "Until they come for us, at least."
Adrian simply watched, he looked at the viruses and then back at Akira who had just shot another one. "I think i get it...It may have something to do with that gigantic helmet they're using...I think they're blind." Adrian put his hand on his chin and slowly made his way closer to the window, being careful not to try and alert the viruses. He looked down on the ground, since the map was based off a town in feudal japan, the floor tiles were made out of tiles of bamboo. Adrian, with some effort, ripped out one of the tiles and then looked out at the viruses. He threw the tile out through the window. As soon as the tile was about 30 meters away from one of them, they all started shooting at it. Adrian stepped back into where the others where. "All right then...Apparently, they ARE blind, but can detect movement...They also appear to have a hive mind...So if one of them detects us...We're done." Just then the virus started moving forward, towards the house where Adrian and the others were hiding. "Uh-oh...I think we pissed them off." They slowly made their way to the wooden door. Adrian approached the door from the other side, he took out his counter sword and used it to seal off the door. He looked back at the others. "It's not gonna hold them for long..." He stepped away from the other, on the other side, the viruses clumsily bashed their weapons against the door, trying to open it. "Wonderful..."
(Before any of you ask, Fairy allowed me to bunny Annabelle.)
Annabelle stood up and decided to finally say something, she approached Adrian, a blue spherical robot floating around her. "I think we should go to the top floor and then barricade the way, we'll just shoot down anything that tries to get up there." Adrian looked back at the girl. "Not a bad idea...But i don't think the door will last that long." Annabelle grabbed the sphere and showed it to Adrian. "I'll leave Senty here. He'll slow them down a bit longer for us." The small ball started emitting a series of beeps, apparently it was talking, because Annabelle replied. "Oh be quiet, it's not like you can die to start with." The senty nell sphere kept beeping, Annabelle disregarded it and set the sphere on the ground. As she did, the small sphere started to shift and trasnform until it turned into a small turret, pointing at the door. Adrian looked at it, half worried, half smiling. "So...You actually understand that thing?" Annabelle nodded, with a bit of a confused look on her face. "Don't you?"
Adrian rose an eyebrow and then sighed. "All right then..." Just then, another loud bang came from the door behind him. Adrian clapped his hands. "All right then, no time to lose, let's get started!" Adrian took the stairs to the third floor of the base and started using the barrels and boxes that were around to start working on the barricade. Annabelle followed, doing the same, she then called out the others. "Are you layabouts gonna come up here and help or what?!" She yelled out aggresively.
Meanwhile...
The small templar squad ran through the lobby, in direction to the server where the viruses had been reported. They were constantly having issues moving because the server itself would keep them stuck in place. One of them yelled out. "STUPID LAG!"

(OoC: lol Your posts are always epically long compared to ours. And nothing personal against Fairy in this post, Akira's just a douche. 
)
"Shut up," Akira said to Annabelle as he climbed the stairs. It was the first time she had spoken and she was already on his nerves. "You're a pain. If they're too slow, forget about them. They'll only weigh us down." He didn't bother helping with the barricade, instead walking to sit against the wall on the far side of the room. "Look," he said as he readied his rail gun again and placed his katana on the ground next to him. "I don't like you, and I'm sure you don't like me. But, I'm willing to work with you just this one time. After you get the barricade in place, you two should stay out of sight with your guns aimed at the door. Once the virus players walk in, I'll be the first one they notice. You two attack their flank while I'm dealing with them. We'll take these losers down and get out of here on our own. You in?"

"Ok, this is madness, but we have no choice but to fight now." Aaron muttered as he drew his Shotgun.
"Well, I'm no stranger to zombies, back in '32, me and the guys defended London from a bunch of zombie's!
Ha, ha ha, no... you had to be there. Heh." He awkwardly lied trying to boost moral.
The door was begining to break, hit after hit of a variety of weapons.
"Ok, Akira, what are you going to do when they see you? One touch and you'll be glowing green and hiding a suddenly bad haircut!"
Aaron commented.
"Sure, you're good, but they could change and get upgraded at any moment, we should be thankful they don't have Wall Hacks!"

Ammaro had been standing off to the side watching the others talk.
"So...why don't we all just stay behind our base and wall shoot/snipe? I'm thinking it's our safest bet. Besides, I'm not going out there, no way."
"Hah, that was sarcasm. But seriously, one or two ninja's won't be bad guys of we can hide accordingly!"
He looked around with glazed eyes, trying to remember the layout of the map.
"I'm gonna hide in one of those crates outside. Hopefully with some luck they won't notice me. Anyone else wanna go on the offense with me? I suggest the rest take up hidden defensive positions."
He went from the warehouse through one of the windows.

He went from the warehouse through one of the windows.
"Don't worry," Akira said to Aaron. "I don't intend to change my hair style any time soon." He check to make sure both his guns were loaded and his katana was at his side. "Looks like I have to trust you guys to keep 'em off me." He sighed. What a stupid day this turned out to be. Stuck here with these guys. Another person named Ammaro decided to go outside. "Hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Look what happened to-" But he was already gone. "Well, whatever. One less person to worry about I guess. Hope you three are ready. It sounds like they'll be breaking through here any second." Could these people really be trusted to keep him safe? Only one way to find out, I suppose. Oh well. I always did love a good challenge.
Ammaro crawled to the other side of the warehouse. His eyes opened sky wide. About 20 infections were standing battering on the doors of the warehouse. They were like a giant buzzing angry crowd. A giant streaming cloud of binary floated above them.
Alright...seems I'm on my own. Let's see how many I can ninja...
He didn't usually do this, but this was an emergency. He switched to his sniper character and went to the opponent base roof. He was a good length away from the crowd. He took out his Cannonaide.
Steady...steady...aim for the feet...!!
The shot felt extremely loud to him. The giant burst connected with 3 V. players and brought them down through a lucky critical. There was only one problem.
Ah dang it!
Two V. Players had heard him and were coming back for him. He was thank full the others were still occupied with the warehouse. He readied his sentry gun.
Bring it you two!
(OOC:...I'm gonna assume the virus multiplies or something which is why I said a crowd of V. Players (Virus), I'll edit it if you want just a regular team number though.)

As Adrian heard the explosion he carefully looked out through the window and saw Amaro standing on the opposite side. "Hey would you look at that, he made it." Just then he quickly pulled his head back inside, nearly getting hit by a rail gun shot. Annabelle was sitting on one of the corners, with her eyes closed. Adrian looked around at everyone and then sighed. Meanwhile, downstairs, a definite hit was made by one of the viruses, a huge crack appeared in the door. Annabelle's Senty Nell below quickly changed it's lights from blue to red. Annabelle opened her eyes. "They're in."
The senty nell shot right through the crack, hitting the virus that had just opened the crack. As the virus flew backwards, disappearing into data, other cracks started opening on the door. Senty shooting them off as it could, to the best of his abilities. Eventually, they broke through the door completely. And started moving towards senty, who didn't stop firing for a second. As the first one of the viruses was about to hit Senty with it's baseball bat, Annabelle quickly started giving orders to Senty. "Activate backup protocol, send data file to new Senty unit. Activate self-destruct sequence." The Senty below started quickly emitting a series of sounds and then a small comparment opened on it's top, it fired upwards a small red peeble. The virus followed it with it's head as it went up...And then exploded.
As three or four viruses were flung out through the entrance door Annabelle quickly re-activated her sentry, this time protecting the way up from behind the stairs. After that, she quickly switched to the Mind Shock weapon. Adrian let out a short 'huh' as he heard all that had happened. "I didn't know you could set the senty nell's to self destruct." Annabelle kept her focus on the stairs and answered. "It's an upgraded version..." As the first virus walked out from the stairs, Adrian quickly switched to his shotgun and took it down before it was even able to set it's foot on the second floor. Meanwhile, on the other side of the floor, Annabelle kept her mind shock close to the ground, she would fire it everytime she heard footsteps walking upstairs. The few who weren't taken out my the zaps were taking out by the sentry gun's fire. With both staircases being protected it didn't take long until the viruses tried to find an alternate way in. One virus equipped with a plasma sword appeared behind one of the barriers in the corner of the room.
Adrian looked at but then disregarded the virus after remembering the the barrier would kill it if it tried to get across. Just then, it shoved it's hand against the barrier. Several sparks started flashing out of the barrier and the virus slowly made it's way through. Adrian's eyes widened and then he immediately shot it, sending it flying down back to ground level. "I didn't know they could go through barriers! That's cheating!"

"I didn't know they could go through barriers! That's cheating!"
Looks like the party's starting, Akira thought. "Damn! They're gonna come through here now too?!" Well, that ruins my plan. Way to jinx it, Aaron. Akira backed up and fired at more virus players trying to get in through the barriers. "Hey, how long do you think this is gonna go on?!" he shouted to no one in particular. "They seem to be increasing, no matter how many we take down!" He paused to reload his revolver before shooting again. It's hopeless... He suddenly became very afraid. This is it for me...I'm really going to die here, aren't I? And everyone will laugh and remember how weak I was when I died. "No...No...No..." he began to say quietly over and over again. His gun slipped from his hands and he fell to his knees. "I DON'T WANT TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" he screamed.
As Akira lost his usual cocky attitude one of the virus, equipped with a plasma sword, sprung in his direction. Before it could reach Akira, Adrian was standing between the two, with his glove out protecting from the incoming blow. As the virus's head connected with the metal glove, a loud thud was heard. The virus then fell to the ground, cartoony looking stars spinning around his head. Adrian turned to face Akira. "Now's not the time to be losing it mister, we've been holding out so far, so let's just keep it up. Try to keep in mind the fact we've alredy lasted more than that huge group of players that tried to rush right in." Just then Adrian quickly pulled his glove up to defend from the incoming fire. One of the shots hit Adrian in the leg and he fell to his knees. He kept his glove out, protecting both him and Akira, however. "Damnit..."
Just then, several sounds started being heard, they were signalling the entrance of new players. Adrian let out a sigh of relief. "The templars...About freaking time too." Just then several templars armed with semi-rifles started rushing upstairs. They didn't only differ from normal players due to the their uniforms, they also moved differently. While most players in S4 League would abuse the acrobatic skills they received, the templars still moved following army assault patterns. It didn't take long until the viruses started to be overwhelmed by the squad of templars. The viruses who still hadn't been shot all started to log off.
One of the templars approached Adrian and took out a mind charge, using it to heal the shot Adrian had just taken. "Hey...Thanks...Uh..." Adrian kept staring at the soldier but his name just wouldn't appear above his head like it used to with all other people in S4. The soldier pressed a button on his neck and his helmet disappeared. The soldier had spiky crimsom hair and brown eyes. "Name's Willet Disley." Adrian nodded his head. "All right Will, thanks." Willet stood up and looked around. "Are you the only people left?" Adrian shook his head negatively. "No...No...There was some other guy with us but he tried to sneak away, i don't know if he made it or not." Just then one of the other templars called out Willet's attention to Ammaro who could be seen on the other house's roof. "Guess he's fine."
Adrian slowly stood up, shaking his leg a bit. "So...Now that they're all dead...Does that mean we can leave now?" Willet tapped Adrian's shoulder. "This server not just yet, the game...Not ever again...You're stuck here like us now, bud. But i guess you knew that much." Adrian sighed and nodded in agreement. "Why can't we leave the server right now exactly though?" Willet scratched his head. "Because the game didn't end yet." Adrian rose an eyebrow. "You serious?" Willet signaled with his hands for Adrian to calm down. "Easy easy...The virus act in a bit of weird way...They won't let anyone leave this game until the game is over." Adrian sighed heavily. "Well then...Haven't they all run away alredy? Shouldn't the game have ended?" Willet put his hand on his chin, wich had a light beard. "Nooope...There should still be one or two viruses lurking around...Either that...Or one of them is currently connecting to this server. If it's the latter, we might be in a bit of trouble."
Adrian let out a short 'uhh' "What do you mean...By trouble?" Just then a loud crash was heard outside. In between the two houses, right in the middle of the street, on the fumbi point, was spawned a large 8 foot tall robot. It was black, with green lights shining from it and it had a big cannon-like weapon on it's left shoulder. Adrian let out a short yelp. "What the?! Isn't that the robot from Arcade mode?!" (Read the OOC below) Willet scratched his nose. "I wouldn't know...But yeah the viruses can't infect only players you know. They can also infect training bots...Non-backed up Sentry guns...And other things. Anyways, i have a little issue to deal with right now, excuse me." Willet put his helmet back on and charged in the robot's direction along the other templars.
Despite the robot's size and weaponry, the templars quickly took it down without a single casualty. Soon after the whole map returned to it's previous state. The skies returned to it's usual colour and the announcer appeared again, yelling out the game's end.
"Victory! You got the game! That was easy!"
As Adrian was teleported away to the lobby he muttered. "Suddenly...I just feel so angry at that announcer." Everyone showed up in the lobby, a huge sign behind them flashed the way out, in direction to the World Server. "Well...Guess we'll be stuck here for a while then. I think i'm gonna have a look at that area made specially for stuck people...I never really checked it out, any of you wanna tag along?"
(OOC: Arcade mode's storyline in this RP is completely different from the normal game's...But i haven't thought up of something to fit it just yet...)

It was black, with green lights shining from it and it had a big cannon-like weapon on it's left shoulder. Adrian let out a short yelp. "What the?! Isn't that the robot from Arcade mode?!" (Read the OOC below) Willet scratched his nose. "I wouldn't know...But yeah the viruses can't infect only players you know. They can also infect training bots...Non-backed up Sentry guns...And other things. Anyways, i have a little issue to deal with right now, excuse me." Willet put his helmet back on and charged in the robot's direction along the other templars.
Despite the robot's size and weaponry, the templars quickly took it down without a single casualty. Soon after the whole map returned to it's previous state. The skies returned to it's usual colour and the announcer appeared again, yelling out the game's end.
"Victory! You got the game! That was easy!"
As Adrian was teleported away to the lobby he muttered. "Suddenly...I just feel so angry at that announcer." Everyone showed up in the lobby, a huge sign behind them flashed the way out, in direction to the World Server. "Well...Guess we'll be stuck here for a while then. I think i'm gonna have a look at that area made specially for stuck people...I never really checked it out, any of you wanna tag along?"
(OOC: Arcade mode's storyline in this RP is completely different from the normal game's...But i haven't thought up of something to fit it just yet...)
(OoC: Idk why but I like my characters to have mental breakdowns for some reason. lol IE: Satou from your Dead Rising RP and Alberich from the .hack//Retribution RP)
Akira was saved by Adrien, who threw himself between Akira and a virus player's attack. Just when things seemed bleakest, the Templars showed up and took care of all the virus players. "We're....we're saved..." Akira said with a sigh of relief. "Uh, thanks, Adrien." He took a deep breath and regained his usual composure. How embarrassing...Now everyone knows you're terribly afraid of death. Smooth... The remaining five players were moved to the lobby as per usual. Like anything about this is usual. After a moment of standing around, Adrien suggested going to the special server for players stuck in the game. "I guess it wouldn't kill me to hang out with you awhile longer," Akira said, trying to act cool again. "Let's go."

Aaron came out his hiding place inside one of the barrels as soon as he heard the word Templars.
"Is it over!?" He cautiously asked.
Looking around noticing the giant robot creature be taken down by the Templars.
"What the hell!? That thing was huge and then the Templars..."
He sighed and noticed he returned to the lobby.
"Heh, well, I'm glad we survived! Of course I would be glad..." He facepalmed at himself.
He walked over to the other players and nodded in agreement.
"It would probably be worth finding out more about the virus at the world server. I'll tag along if thats ok."

What?!
Even as he kept shooting one of the viruses, the other seemed to have a greatly overpowered Mind Energy. They ept restoring each other's health in great numbers.
Dang this. I can't keep it up for much longer!
His health was 30. As he jumped back up onto the roof to avoid a Plasma Dash from one of the viruses, he noticed the large bulk of them missing. Suddenly, the two viruses chasing him were killed, by semi-rifles it seemed. Ammaro looked around for his rescuers and found a team of templars. As he came back to the group, it seemed everyone was fine. There was a skirmish at the other side of the map between the templars and...
Is that the Arcade girl's robot?!
The templars destroyed it. The announcer came back announcing they had won.
Have we really old man?
As he regrouped, one templar explained to him what getting caught in a virus outbreak meant. He stalked off behind the rest of the group to the world server.
If this is any way a mimic of Connest...I swear...

Adrian rose up his hand in a fist. "All right then, onward to the World Server!" Adrian stepped in a little platform on the corner of the game room and disappeared in a flow of data, the others followed. (Sorry for the bunnying.) When Adrian re-appeared he and the others slowly started being spawned in the S4 League's Lobby. It consisted of a web of several lines, connecting servers and shops alike. Among the several other people that walked around, streams of data flowed from one server to another. Player owned shops were placed all around, containing rare lottery items and some other things acquired from rounds in the Arcade mode.
Adrian looked around and stretched his arms out. "You know, being stuck here isn't so bad. I mean, just look at all this." He lowered his arms and looked around. Willet, who was walking with them, let out a grunt. "What? Don't you have parents or anyone you'll be missing?" Adrian scratched the back of his head. "Well...There's my older sister, but she probably isn't going to even notice i'm gone...Oh look!" Adrian pointed out to what seemed to a big cyber bus, it stopped close to them on a green area. "Bus here, let's get moving." Adrian ran forward and entered the bus, he looked around inside. Several players sat anxiously in it, waiting for their stop to come by. Some of them had their weapons, unloading and reloading them over and over for practice.
Adrian walked over to a free seat and clicked on a small panel that was on the back of the seat ahead of him. "Let's see...World server...Last stop." Adrian laid back on his chair and sighed. "Oh well, at least we get some rest after all that stuff." He rested his head on the chair and started making himself comfortable.

Akira moved to the main lobby with the others. He never really liked it here, too many players. "Here we are," he said dully. "Now what?" He wasn't sure how he was going to spend his time here, trapped in the game. Adrien seemed to be taking it well.
"Don't you have any parents or anyone you'll be missing?" Willet asked him. Akira did as a matter of fact. He had a a girlfriend named Haruka whom he will probably miss very dearly unless they're able to get out of here soon. She had been thinking of signing up for the game though, so maybe they'll be able to meet up in here from time to time.
Sighing, Akira hopped on the bus. He wordlessly moved to the far back seat and put his head in his hands.

Amazed and following everyone, Ammaro wanted to touch and examine everything around him.
It's like a digital fantasy!
He stayed silent at WIllet's question. Who would care if he was gone? He entered the bus and sat down next to Adrian. He noticed many other players all looking anxious or worried. Some seemed to posses a false state of calm.
"Is there a tournament going on or something?" He asked.
Several players eyed him.
Grrr...I hate that look. I'm no newbie!

(OOC: I hadn't thought about Amaro...But i REALLY like that idea...)
Hearing that Adrian tilted his head up. "Riiight...It was today, wasn't it..." Adrian turned to Ammaro and called out for him. "Yo! Actually, you just remembered me. They're opening a new map called Neden-5, it's supposedly about the size of a small town and can fit up to 5000 players at the same time. They're making a full blown-out deathmatch in this new map and the winner will receive one million Pen. I didn't know it was now though..." One of the other players in the bus commented. "It's not, with only five thousand spots avaible lots of players are trying to get there early so they have a bigger chance to join." Adrian put his hand on his chin. "Is that so...?"

(OoC: lol I know where this is going.)
Tournament, huh? Akira thought. Might as well grace them with my presence. Got my cool back and now I'm back in business. "You're all wasting your time," he said out loud.
Someone turned around to face. "What was that, you little- A-Akira?" A wave of murmurs went through the bus.
"So you've heard of me. A million Pen is bound to bring out the big players. You can bet even Leona Walker(OoC: my eternal rival lol) will show up. If you think you stand a chance against the two of us, you're wrong. Why don't you log out and run back to your mom?" A couple players slowly stood up and got off the bus, quietly talking to each other. A few more followed them. He looked at Adrien. "Less people to get in the way of our rematch now."

(OOC: Pretty obvious xD...unless Niscp or me has something else in mind >:3)
Ammaro looked at Adrian.
"5.5..5...5000 players?!..."
Ammaro hadn't checked the bulletin news in a while. He didn't know anything about this map. He then shot a quick glance at Akira, a big time player. He didn't even bother thinking that he could beat Akira or even come close...yet.
"So you'll be participating eh?" He turned to face Akira. "Seems you're gonna attract some unwanted rivals I presume." He spied the "P" emblem floating shortly above Akira's clothing. "Why don't all you Pro's just leave and save the rest of us the trouble?" he joked.
He looked back out the window.
I need to check out some weapon shops later...

Aaron sat on the bus disappointed.
"I can't believe they'd still hold this tournament even with this virus. Although, I suppose for the trapped players its ... something to do."
For a moment he paused, a name was on the tip of his tongue, but he dared not to say it, not right then at least.
He suddenly realized that Akira was causing a ruckus with some of players.
"Hah!"
He yelled out for all to hear.
"Akira, you seem dead certain that you're really this skilled?"
He stood to stretch his legs for a moment.
"I think we all need a rematch." He smirked.
"How about this, each of the remaining players from that match play again, but in a death match?" He suggested.

Annabelle walked onto the cyberbus with her sentrys revolving around her.She stood at the front of the bus and looked for an open seat. Humm...Lots of players on here... she thought glancing at the faces. She walked to a seat near the rest of the players she had been with before. "5,000 players eh?That's a lotta people....And alotta lag...." she said with a smirk. Annabelle sat with here back against the bus's window and her legs out in the seat.
Annabelle glanced at Adrian- Meh..Passive player...?Possibly... then glanced at Ammaro-Show off?...Tch...That'll be interesting... Annabelle took a good look at Akira. He seems kinda serious about this...After all i guess we ARE trapped but...It can't get much worse then this i suppose...
Annabelle's eyes scanned the rest of the players faces on the bus as she listened to their conversations about the tournament.

(OoC: Huzzah! You're alive! lol Don't feel super pressured to post, we'll survive a bit without you.)
"Of course I'm gonna participate," Akira said to Ammaro. (OoC: Ever notice how all our names start with A? lol Weird.) "Don't know what I'd do with the money but it'll be interesting, to say the least." He glanced over at Aaron. "Let's all sign up for the tournament. You guys got at least some skills. Maybe we'll meet on the battlefield there." An idea struck him. "Tell you what. Since you guys are on my good side, I'll give you the money when I win if you sign up with me. Whaddaya think? It'll be fun, huh?"

(OOC: The A name thing...I hadn't realized that...Weird.)
"Being a bit cocky are we?" Adrian clapped his hands together and smiled. "How about this, we'll all sign up and make a small team in-game. When we win, we'll split the money equally between everyone. I mean, a million Pen is more than enough, right?" Adrian played with one of his sideburns. "200 k pen for each one of us. All right! Someone's getting themselves a golden +5 shotgun!" Adrian seemed excited, he had his hand closed in a fist and his big golden eyes seemed to be shining slightly."
Willet had been sitting close to them the entire time, listening. "Weren't you guys to the World Server?" He reminded. Adrian slapped the top of his head and smiled weakly. "Oh well...We can check that out later, we have all the time in the world now." Willet let out a short 'humph'. "Well, you hadn't seen the last of me then, at least. I was one of the templars assigned to keep watch at that tournament. It's like a big virus magnet that's what it is."
Finally then, the bus slowly took off and started moving forward. Adrian looked out through the window, seeing all of the streams of data flying past them. He started speaking out loud, not to anyone in particular. "Has anyone here ever tried to ride one of these data flows? I'm SO doing that someday."

"Hmph, I don't do teams," Akira said bluntly. "But I guess I can make an exception today. You...did save me from that virus and all..." Dammit! I can't believe I freaked out like that. It must have been because of that one time... But that was something he didn't want to think about. Not now and not ever again. He looked over to Willet. "I hope you got a shitload of back up. 5,000 players at once..." He let out a low whistle. "It'll be bad news if the virus shows up. Best case scenario would be 5,000 more players trapped here. Worst case...I'm sure I don't even gotta say it..." He gazed out the window at the data flows Adrien was talking about. "I've never heard of anyone trying that. It'd be interesting to see. Maybe I'll try it myself sometime."
((A RULEZ, and besides, sorry I'm using my [almost] actual S4 name >.>))
"I suggest a rematch between the group of us. If we're gonna team, we need to find each others weaknesses and strengths."
Ammaro paused a little.
"We split into 2vs2 matches, revolving players until we've all played with and against each other...oh yeah...I also kinda suck at Death Matches, so give me a little break."

((OOC: All A... thats just weird.))
Aaron listened in, a warm up rematch sounded worthwhile.
"Ok, if we've got to stick around here for who knows how long, I guess using our skills to win some money might as well be a start.
I dunno, maybe be we could form a clan or something, The A-Team, I dunno." He suggested dryly.
"So yeah, lets do this!" he said looking out of the bus windows to the digital view outside.
It was somewhat creepy. How real is the world server?

"We still got time until the tournament starts. Let's sign up first then we can do team matches if you want," Akira said to Ammaro. "We should sign up before all the spots are taken." Aaron suggested making a clan. Which would completely spoil Akira's lone wolf image. It took him a minute to get the "A-Team" joke. He chuckled a little. "That's weird. I never noticed how all our usernames start with A. It must be fate." He sighed. "I guess it wouldn't kill me to join a clan." He paused. "But we need a better name than that," he said bluntly.

IC:
Stephen had no clue what he was doing at this point, merely wasting time sitting on a digital bench in the world server. It had already been a whole hour since he got stuck in the game, and he was starting to get irritated.
"What a load of bull****," he thought sighing. He was already made the decision to move on, but now he was stuck here, forever it would seem. If there was a god, he had a rather cruel sense of humor.
What would his family think. If he couldn't contact them after a while, people could assume he had died or something. Not to mention his homework wasn't going to write itself.
Not wanting these thoughts to overwhelm him, Stephen took a few deep breaths and looked around to see how other players were reacting. Most were rather nonchalant about it, spending their time shopping for weapons or discussing the 5000 people tournament. Neither of those activities seemed appealing, so Stephen just tilted his head back, closed his eyes and decided to get some sleep, if sleep existed in this relm.

"We should totally call our clan something related to how we got together. Maybe 'The Survivors'? Or maybe...?" Just then the bus stopped, right in front of a big stadium. Some players were alredy on the booths, getting tickets. As soon as the Adrian noticed that he rushed out and got a spot on the line while signalling the others to follow. "Come on you guys, i'm not signing up for you too!" He tapped his foot in place, looking back and forth between the end and start of the line and keeping up with it. "Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, get my ticket now i go!" While Adrian whistled the rest of tune Willet watched everything from afar. He then got a call, noticeable by the fact a small panel on his uniform started beeping. Willet put his hand on his ear and a small headphone appeared on it. "Willet speaking...I see...Roger, i'm on my way." Willet called out to the others. "Something came up, i gotta go, i'll see you guys at the tournament when it starts."
"Survivors, huh?" Akira mused. "I guess that's not so horrible." The bus stopped in front of the stadium and all the players started rushing to sign up. Akira hurried out of the bus to get in line behind Adrien. He grabbed a nearby player by his collar and threw him to the ground. "Outta the way, loser."
"The player looked up to see who pushed him. "A-Akira! Go right ahead." Akira looked at him with disgust and kept walking.
"Oh my! Is that Akira?" That voice could only belong to one person.
"Hello, Leona," he said to the approaching girl. "Why wouldn't I?"
"You're just going to lose...to me. I was first to sign up, you know."
"Awesome," Akira said moodily. "I was trapped with a virus all day. Now beat it. I want to wait in peace." Leona walked away laughing without saying another word.

((OOC: You guys are gonna hate me for this post xD or not.))
Ammaro stood behind Adrian in-line. He waited, a little anxious, as the line slowly advanced to the sign-up. As he looked around, he heard someone call out his name. He spun around in confusion, but none of the gang had called to him.
Must be imagining things.
He went back to examining a streak in the air in fascination when he heard it again. Frustrated, he spun around and found two character the the left of him that weren't there before.
Ammaro looked back to Adrian.
"Hey Adrian, you think these guys could join our team?"

He went back to examining a streak in the air in fascination when he heard it again. Frustrated, he spun around and found two character the the left of him that weren't there before.

Ammaro looked back to Adrian.
"Hey Adrian, you think these guys could join our team?"
(OoC: I do hate you. lol)
Akira looked at the two newcomers with disdain. "You've got to be kidding me," he said loud enough for them to hear him. "You guys are ruining my image." He sighed. "Besides, I thought it was a free-for-all and we were gonna have to gun each other down eventually anyways. I'm just planning on saving you guys for last since I owe you."

Adrian turned around to face the two guys that had just showed up. He smiled slightly while watching them talk to Ammaro. "Sure, everyone's welcome aboard! Wich...Makes me remember...Who's going to be our clan leader? I mean we do need a-" Just then Adrian was pushed to the ground by some man, who took Adrian's place in the line. "Hey! Watch it, broom head!"
The man had slightly tanned skin, he was tall and used a black and orange vest with fake animal furs hanging from it. His pants were white and had orange details and lines around it, he used pitch black shoes. His hair what was most stood out, he had a big afro, perfectly round and about one feet big. He turned around to face Adrian. "Oh please, i'm doing you a favour, small fry like you wouldn't last five seconds against me, the mighty...Monk, the world renowned S4 League player and hack-!" Adrian got up and started trying to push Monk out of the line. "I don't care who you are, go to the end of the line." Monk started pushing Adrian back. "Stop it, you're gonna mess my hair up!" Adrian and Monk started pushing kept fighting there for the spot on the line, until their turn came.
The booth just gave tickets to both and then they faced away from each other. Monk started walking away. "Just you wait, i'll remember you! We'll settle this in the deathmatch!" Adrian shook his head. "What an idiot."

Akira took his ticket then stood near Adrian, lost in thought. "Monk...Monk...Monk....where have I heard that name?" He could've sworn he's seen that stupid outfit somewhere. "I remember that guy now," he said after a bit. "He kept bragging about how he was some awesome hacker but then cried when I beat him. He had speed hacks and could kill people in one hit but didn't have godmode enabled.(OoC: I met someone like that for reals once. It was funny. lol) He probably hacks cause he sucks otherwise. What a loser. As for clan leader...I don't really care. As long as it's not me." He wandered over to a nearby bench and sat down to wait for the tournament to start.
((I'm gonna move this forward?))
"Attention participants! The tournament will start shortly, please group with your teams and head to the lobby. Thank you."
Seems it's gonna start.
Ammaro and his buds walked forward ahead of his group, he wanted to save some spots for the others. The giant transporter leading to the lobby loomed before him.
