Bleed, Patch, And Keep Moving - An Apex Legends Story

Chapter 78 - His Name Was Revenant

It had been about a month since the video of the newest Apex contestant had aired and now the Legends were sitting on a transport ship flying to World's Edge. Ajay did not have a good feeling about the match. The teams were sent to her in a text message like an afterthought just an hour before the match. The first team was: Bangalore, Wattson, and Bloodhound. The second team was: Octane, Crypto, and Pathfinder. The third team was: Wraith, Mirage, and Caustic. Which left her, Gibraltar, and Revenant. That was the monster's name, Revenant. Ajay sat in her normal seat on the transport ship. Her face was flat and lacked any emotion.

Ajay was so engulfed in her thoughts that she hardly even noticed that Makoa had sat down next to her. "Ajay?" She looked over to him and forced a smile. "Does that sound okay?" He smiled as he spoke. Ajay noticed that he always seemed to be smiling. "Sorry Makoa I was tryin to get my head in the game." He nodded, "I understand. It feels kind of strange fighting with someone who did all of that stuff on that video. But Cheryl said it was all fake anyway. What a way to promote something huh? I guess we have to get the job done." Ajay sighed and nodded. Cheryl Amacci was the head of the legal department for Hammond Robotics. Cheryl told The Legends that it was a good way to promote the Apex games and get better ratings. Ajay thought it sounded like a cover up for something that had to do with The Syndicate.

The thought that another major company was in bed with The Syndicate didn't sit well with Ajay but her thoughts were halted as the countdown clock began. Both Makoa and Ajay stood up to meet Revenant at the front of the ship. Makoa smiled, "How's it going Revenant?" The robotic looking skeleton just stood there and smirked at him. When the transport ship ramp opened Revenant immediately fell out backwards, spun in the air and headed towards Refinery. Lifeline shook her head and jumped out with Gibraltar. They both followed Revenant to Refinery.

Lifeline and Gibraltar both landed in the middle of Refinery, ground level, while Revenant was at the top of the building looting everything he could get his greedy hands on. Lifeline and Gibraltar began opening bins and grabbing what they could. Lifeline found level one armor evo armor? She shrugged and equipped it. She managed to find a P2020 and the hammer point hop-up for it. She threw on a level one backpack and filled it with light ammo and a few shield cells. She managed to find a level two heavy magazine but didn't have a weapon for it. "Level two heavy mag here." She spoke into the comms device and set a location via pinging it. Gibraltar tagged it in response, "I need it!" Revenant hopped down from the top of the building and snatched it. He laughed as Lifeline stood in front of him.

With clenched fists Lifeline's whole body shook with anger. "What are you going to do about little combat medic?" Revenant turned around and began to walk away, laughing at her as he did. Lifeline was done with this monster. She ran at him and knocked him over. His robotic body made a hard clunk noise as he hit the ground. She sat on his back with a leg to either side of him, pinning him to the ground. She pulled out her P2020 and cocked it. She forced the barrel of the gun to the back of his head as he laughed. Revenant didn't bother to get up, "Just do it already." His voice was low as he spoke to her.

"Whoa!" Gibraltar pulled Lifeline off of Revenant like she weighed nothing. "It's okay it's just a mag. If he needs it then it's fine." Lifeline kicked her legs like a child as Gibraltar held her against him, "What he needs ta do is learn some manners!" She fought against Gibraltar's arm that was looped around her waist. "Calm down Lifeline." His voice was soothing. Revenant got up off the ground making small metal grinding noises as he did.

Revenant turned and looked directly into Lifeline's eyes, "There's still time to run." He smirked at her. She pushed full force against Gibraltar as Revenant began to walk away toward Epicenter. She finally stopped struggling against Gibraltar. "Are you good now?" Gibraltar's voice was soft. She nodded and he let go of her. They began following their ill-mannered teammate towards Epicenter.
