Really?! Do I have to live as Alphon even in my room just in case she calls? No, all I need to do is change my upper body. I’m fine, I can do this.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAqWI9oXD5G2
168Please respect copyright.PENANAkxMyx86pgK
I calm down and close my eyes. In a few moments, my face and neck look and hopefully sounds like, Alphon. But it feels weird to look like this without the whole package.

168Please respect copyright.PENANATQfdxjXrYz
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfb9uOubSBw
It’s 9:30 right now, that’s more than enough time. But knowing Alyson she’ll be there by 11 so I’ll beat her by 10 minutes. Still leaves me an hour and 10 minutes, 10 minutes left over for travel.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWTucCJS2bq

I’ll eat breakfast and learn more about this “Crimson Battlefield”. I’m starting to get scared that the date is a trap to kill me. Can never be too sure.

I’m starting to question the benefits of being tall now…

Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA9hmcq6dUsV
168Please respect copyright.PENANAk84HOCYz4I
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYD4hvSmVN4
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKAM7xVhMLI
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.

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.

Alyson: “Impressive, I didn’t know you could dodge something like that.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAMHmnks5Gl4
168Please respect copyright.PENANAtTOJf8aWA1
Nao: “I was lucky.”

Alyson: “I like modesty.”

“One of you should take that position up above, a good line of sight on everything.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANApDuFeOSaHQ
168Please respect copyright.PENANA0rVDoiIc0Q
Alyson: “Got it, you go for it.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmSBTndbKgT

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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEfZ9STj0hE
168Please respect copyright.PENANAghkB1cdQYi
Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.

168Please respect copyright.PENANAQzO7dUuwy7
Alyson: “We’re going a bit fast aren’t we?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv0WNjUAeQR
168Please respect copyright.PENANAKiarrjV3Ii
Nao: “Sorry.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZHWdxbyiLr
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwdASnHRmj3
Alyson: “No problem, these guys really like to hit and run.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAZSU6fHA3Sx
168Please respect copyright.PENANAmksZTYT6AF
“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4vVfsQFIl
168Please respect copyright.PENANAYKp3hGxNjd
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAEJlIfwVHXP
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuPsIZ53lZs
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyDA1ZDCMyb
168Please respect copyright.PENANAuNS7BSdzqT
Nao: “Hey, weren’t there supposed to be 4 of them left.”

We instinctively dodged out of the lasers in different directions. These lasers didn’t come from the front but behind.
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5pAOGfv7eX
168Please respect copyright.PENANAvwy3UlCgBN
Alyson: “What the hell?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAPsUmezeEg2
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyQVz1eqjfC
“Did our sniper get taken out?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFxUoPyHURk
168Please respect copyright.PENANABNf7lpmgFs
That’s not all, I’m separated from the group and silent is out too. Now it’s 3 to 4.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAQXZ6v65Zsi

“What know leader?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAr1jb98k0N1
168Please respect copyright.PENANAN6apoqk8Ns
Alyson: “We need to find a position where we’re not flanked.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAM9rHuHguMT
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE73P8OJHAQ
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
168Please respect copyright.PENANABFlloVJJoh
168Please respect copyright.PENANATb1WyImfhg
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANARx1lulYwjW
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyUbInjyW94
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.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAwjAzIkr4i1
168Please respect copyright.PENANAN2oX9vxzl0
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAVSIBCAK9sj
168Please respect copyright.PENANAv5TNiZr9rp
Nao: “Hey you.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAfDohvyvd2n
168Please respect copyright.PENANA71Yapcygh6
Alyson: “That was some good moves back there. Where did you learn to move like that even with your size?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAa6wFOkSMrb

Nao: “Maybe this isn’t my first game.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANACceg2JcIsL

You have no idea.

Nao: “Now what? How do you get to the sniper?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAeAiKmYM8RR

Alyson: “Oh, we won already.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAOQK8ArA75H

Nao: “We what?”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAjvztXdphvF
168Please respect copyright.PENANAyrL4wKDQvb
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….”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7sT7jbSZ4T
168Please respect copyright.PENANANtzVuu7RCU
Just like that, the bell sounded and declared us the victors.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Q7HbRifs

Nao: “Wow, you’re incredible.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q0BcX4s0O
168Please respect copyright.PENANA5cHg8pj71x
Alyson: “I know, but I could’ve been better. I lost two guys, I should’ve sent to into the tower.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAgmSH0u8Mlx
168Please respect copyright.PENANAFtMI2Fidmu
Nao: “It’s even more incredible that you can admit your mistakes.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANA36odR7SMk1
168Please respect copyright.PENANA7lmiYulCR6
I wish you do that more often.
168Please respect copyright.PENANAAR0sAnGgiv

Alyson: “Thanks.”

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,
168Please respect copyright.PENANAWcyAtcmrQL
168Please respect copyright.PENANAabvJ3ZLeMx
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-

“Excuse me.”
168Please respect copyright.PENANAlTRJF2FMPX
