Chapter Text
[ A bloodsport created decades after the Frontier war, The Apex Games. A game where outlaws, soldiers, and misfits all joining for their own reasons. Some joined for fame and fortune and others for answers to their questions. Starting as an average joe, a player must move up through the ranks to reach the ultimate title of Apex Legend. If they kill you, they're better; but, if you kill them, you're better. Will you be the next Apex Legend? ]
" Round 4, Beginning ring countdown," the announcer's voice was heard throughout World's Edge.
" Alright, guys, 2 bad guy squads left. We take them down and we'll be the champions!" Mirage said to Caustic and Wattson, his teammates.
All three of them had top-notch equipment: Gold or Red Evo body shields, level 3 or higher attachments, Revive knock down shields, and tons of ammo. As a team, they had a total of 22 kills. It was pretty decent since there were two defense type Legends in the squad. Gunshots were suddenly fired not too far away from them.
" It seems that the last two squads are fighting at Drills Site," Caustic informed them.
" That's in the ring too. Let's third party," Mirage added.
" Oui! Let's go!" Wattson chirped. The three of them begin to run towards Drill Site from outside the Train Yard.
In the center of Drill Site was a whole lot of gunfire and explosions from arc stars and frag grenades. One squad had Gibraltar, Lifeline, and Bloodhound, while the other had Wraith, Octane, and Crypto. Gibraltar had just used his Ultimate before he was downed.
Wraith went into the void once the Mortar strike made an impact and Octane dodged the strike using his stim. As for Crypto, he rushed for cover behind a shipping container and then sent his drone out to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the other team. He spotted Lifeline reviving Gibraltar with Bloodhound as cover fire.
" Activating Reboot," Crypto Informed his squad.
Using his EMP to deal damage to the opposing team's shields. Wraith and Octane ran towards Bloodhound. Wraith knocked Bloodhound while Octane threw out his jump pad and bounced over Lifeline who was still reviving Gibraltar.
" Lo Siento, Che! But we're taking this win! " Octane shouted with wild laughter.
He spun around while in the air and before he landed he started shooting at Lifeline with an Alternator. She grunted as she took damage and stopped trying to get Gibraltar up. Her hand tried to reach for her gun but it was too late.
" Nice job, One squad left. Heal while you have the chance," Wraith told Crypto and Octane.
Crypto left his drone above the area just in case the last squad decided to pull up. He took the chance to recover his shield. His drone suddenly began pinging multiple enemies and his eyes narrowed knowing exactly who it was.
" They're here," Crypto warned his squad.
With a click of his tongue, he tried to quickly heal. He peaked around the shipping container only for a shadow to loom over him. A grunt escaped his lips and glanced back to see Wattson over him with one of her smiles. His eyebrow twitched as she waved at him and shot him.
" Warning, Ring movement in progress," the announcer informed.
As the ring began to close, Mirage and Caustic ran around the container, running towards the remaining members of the last squad. With the ring getting smaller and smaller, it was Caustic's time to shine. He grabbed his toxic grenade and threw it to where he knew Octane and Wraith were.
Octane and Wraith both grunted and began to cough, the toxins getting into their lungs. Octane quickly stabbed himself with stim and tried to run out the gas but he could barely see and ended up running outside the ring. He realized what he did and ran back in with low health.
Caustic saw him come back in and began shooting at him with a peacekeeper a few times until he was downed. As for Wraith, she went into the void to get out the gas and was lucky enough to see, avoiding the gas. Mirage chuckled seeing her and used his Ult.
" Looks like it's Dupes O'clock,"
Mirage moved around, pretending to be one of his many decoys. Wraith narrowed her eyes, unable to tell which was the real one. Due to little time to think of a better plan she began shooting at every single decoy until none were left. She blinked in confusion when he wasn't there.
" You got Bamboozled!" Mirage laughed and shot her in the back, taking out the last person.
The ring stopped moving as Caustic and Wattson walked over towards Mirage.
" We have our Apex Champions," The announcer said.
Meanwhile, somewhere on a planet outside the frontier, a young man was watching the game on his computer. The man was tall and slim with spikey blonde hair and hazel eyes. He cheered excitedly seeing Mirage, Wattson, and Caustic win.
" Dion! Stop watching the game and finish packing!" A woman shouted at him from the other room.
Dion grunted hearing her and sighed sadly, " Yes, mom!" he chuckled.
He glanced towards the door waiting to see if she would come in the room. For a moment he thought she didn't hear him until he heard footsteps rapidly heading towards his room. The woman ran in and he squeaked in fear.
" I am not your mother!" She yelled and chucked a pillow at him.
" You act like one though, Adesha," Dion told her as he dodged the pillow.
Adesha rolled her eyes and motioned him to pack before leaving the room. This woman was Dion's best friend. She was curvy with brown hair in a pixie cut and emerald green eyes. Adesha went into her room and packed some of her clothes and necessities.
" Hey, you should be glad I'm bringing you on this trip to Solace!" He called out from across the hall.
" You wouldn't let me stay here alone, in fear of your Apex Legends Merch being destroyed,"
" If I see my limited edition Caustic figurine melted because of your crappy cooking I would cry myself to death!" He whined as he dragged his suitcases out of his room to the front door.
Adesha rolled her eyes, turning her light off and bringing her luggage to the front door. She really wanted to stay home and play videogames and such but Dion really wanted her to get life exposure. She'd been cooped up in her room for almost a year after her parent's death.
Dion wanted her to find her purpose and live life to the fullest thus why he was bringing her along on his business trip to Solace.
" Alrighty, Let's go!" He said as the two left, heading to the shipyard where the ' Space ships' were.
After arriving and departing from their planet, the two were on their way to Solace.
" So, what are we gonna be doing on Solace?" Adesha asked while holding onto her seat.
This was her first time leaving the planet.
" Well, I have a meeting with some people in charge of the Apex Games and-" Dion began but was interrupted by Adesha.
" Apex games?" She raised her brow.
Dion chuckled softly, " Yes. Don't worry it's strictly business. That's what this trip is about. You know the tech I've been working on for the past year?"
Adesha nodded.
" If the meeting goes well, my tech will be introduced in the games during a limited-time event. If it fits nicely, you and I will be moving to a nice penthouse by the headquarters," he grinned.
" Just Imagine it, Adesha! Having Gravity altered. Think of the gameplay and strategies people can come up with!" he added, his eyes sparkling.
Adesha saw how excited he was and could only smile. She knows how much this means to him and she really had no right to go against it. He's done so much for her and has taken care of them both.
She looked around the ship while Dion continued to talk about some of his work and the Apex games until she saw someone staring at her from in front of her. He was giving off a creepy vibe causing Adesha to have a bad feeling about this trip.
