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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUXVx1U6nxG
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9l8Wn1KMCX
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.

163Please respect copyright.PENANA4AsReZd0sC
163Please respect copyright.PENANAy6W9SAVRW5
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.

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…
163Please respect copyright.PENANAmDuRfjPW0k
163Please respect copyright.PENANAtKHs42PutB
Alyson: “So that’s, the plan. Got it?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJy8y6ob6Vm
163Please respect copyright.PENANAIoRMftpSPk
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA1L9u8xJqSj
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdZWLKFInsA
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.

163Please respect copyright.PENANAO7NfGxVDCz
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdcgqH4bZuZ
163Please respect copyright.PENANAWqz1Rm2dFL
Alyson: “Impressive, I didn’t know you could dodge something like that.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAETVuBUx2Af
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8qUiD42ynA
Nao: “I was lucky.”

Alyson: “I like modesty.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzqF42BEqx7

“One of you should take that position up above, a good line of sight on everything.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAGJcRfKVqBj
163Please respect copyright.PENANASzuuc8P99g
Alyson: “Got it, you go for it.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJKNeIM4jlT
163Please respect copyright.PENANANFgMrBOBlM
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANATiQCh6cZm5
163Please respect copyright.PENANALEiXHBiNMT
Again, I predicted a shot and pushed Alyson to the ground before it hit her.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXw0GFz1QLc
163Please respect copyright.PENANAO3muRiUPF5
Alyson: “We’re going a bit fast aren’t we?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANALUMli9ajbq
163Please respect copyright.PENANAvZcMNduYCN
Nao: “Sorry.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfuYsag7OAk
163Please respect copyright.PENANARWJDIuDzDa
Alyson: “No problem, these guys really like to hit and run.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAx2CHPxcrTn
163Please respect copyright.PENANA11D8QySHAt
“Can you two get up, I think they’re closing in.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA6DIyoIgLe3
163Please respect copyright.PENANAE2HkKDXQTC
We get up and take positions behind some blocks. He’s right, they don’t seem to be running anymore but enclosing us.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfKbkpcshO7
163Please respect copyright.PENANAAoA1mrsZJx
Alyson: “That’s fine, we have a sniper that will take them as soon as they come out.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA30tqBeaImO
163Please respect copyright.PENANAsoWuhM5yVp
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAoyh4TWTyQ6
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyrXBO8sOHU
Alyson: “What the hell?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA0N64D8F62A
163Please respect copyright.PENANAF1lwohv2e8
“Did our sniper get taken out?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANArWwZW8n7Co
163Please respect copyright.PENANAJ99YDAFQe5
That’s not all, I’m separated from the group and silent is out too. Now it’s 3 to 4.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAEY53vM9dQY
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcEm7IVC9UG
“What know leader?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAgQgWzf8UZb
163Please respect copyright.PENANA7d4KfpvbY6
Alyson: “We need to find a position where we’re not flanked.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAxWvTKOoRsw
163Please respect copyright.PENANAcN0WQNipj1
I can see the strike force aiming for my position while I can feel the sniper keeping sights on everything.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA06BmJnzAck
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2rBgmTD6nA
I might be cheating a bit but Alyson does want to win and it’s a great way to make an impression.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAoJmuqMUBdF

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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbKPjDMz52k
163Please respect copyright.PENANAV1SrMxctqq
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.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA2quaWnewGt
163Please respect copyright.PENANAqi3KyMnZ3k
I crotch, wary of the sniper, and make it to Alyson’s new defensive position.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAUk03RZWN6H
163Please respect copyright.PENANAHiBUp8hFrM
Nao: “Hey you.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA8B8mVsTbHA
163Please respect copyright.PENANASTFwHv5Feb
Alyson: “That was some good moves back there. Where did you learn to move like that even with your size?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANACEgZXxboWw

Nao: “Maybe this isn’t my first game.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAT0WrlaZJEu

Alyson: “Lucky, almost feels like I cheated.”

You have no idea.
163Please respect copyright.PENANA34PwpIuaEh
163Please respect copyright.PENANAz1ESBwV2B9
Nao: “Now what? How do you get to the sniper?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9AVXaxBExT
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdlSnsLZXcx
Alyson: “Oh, we won already.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAY5IdXMI2H4

Nao: “We what?”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAT97NUhXlbV
163Please respect copyright.PENANA9eF57sZl3V
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….”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZKi2trbYas
163Please respect copyright.PENANAXP5RnaYo0v
Just like that, the bell sounded and declared us the victors.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzLZLOPxADr
163Please respect copyright.PENANAZFqVu7JSSa
Nao: “Wow, you’re incredible.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4BEJCsv32
163Please respect copyright.PENANAfirOI4bDN4
Alyson: “I know, but I could’ve been better. I lost two guys, I should’ve sent to into the tower.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAyYLl2FZljj
163Please respect copyright.PENANAbGPx8vAwbu
Nao: “It’s even more incredible that you can admit your mistakes.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAdvR75swxpu
163Please respect copyright.PENANAhnSAkt61P1
I wish you do that more often.
163Please respect copyright.PENANAzu4agvCg2S

Alyson: “Thanks.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANA17E44fbPdb

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,
163Please respect copyright.PENANAKKPpQHIkbn
163Please respect copyright.PENANAgJbWbgPYue
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-
163Please respect copyright.PENANA3JT2mgkY2i
163Please respect copyright.PENANACyKC5aiIUW
“Excuse me.”
163Please respect copyright.PENANAFl22E0KaqM

We stop what we’re doing and look up expecting one of our teammates but instead…
