Action Figure Battle Royale

Chapter 2: First "Blood"

By the time that the Blue Team soldiers had gotten out of the attic, the Yellow Team soldiers were away from their base. However, one of the Yellow Team soldiers was not in as much of a hurry as the other soldiers on his team, so he stayed in the master bedroom. There was no door between the master bedroom and the master bathroom. Once he heard Blue Team soldiers coming, he rushed to get behind cover, having seen them before they saw him. Most of Blue Team passed by, and the Yellow Team soldier knew he could not win against all of them at the same time and doubted he could lure them to their base.

However, one Blue Team soldier had a feeling that something was up, so he lagged behind his teammates on purpose and went closer to where the Yellow Team soldier ended up being. Knowing he had been found out, the latter jumped out from his hiding spot and tried to spin in a circle twice before shooting his enemy with his sniper rifle without using the scope. While he was doing this, he said, "For freedom! For eagles! For America!"

This caught the Blue Team soldier off guard, and he replied, "When did the ideals of the Founding Fathers go away and be replaced by this far inferior viewpoint?!"

Despite his surprise and because he pointed his gun straight at his enemy, the Blue Team soldier was able to be far more accurate than his spinning enemy. He killed the Yellow Team soldier with a well aimed shot to the head, but even though his enemy ruined his accuracy by spinning in two full circles, a bullet managed to hit the Blue Team soldier in his center of mass. The winner of the first battle did not think much of his damage, though, as it was not too dangerous.

At Green Team's base, the guards and medics were on high alert for not only enemy toys, but also humans and animals that could notice them or be a threat. Suddenly, they heard a bird of prey, knew that it would be a threat, and tried to get to a tent to hide.

However, as the tents were solid plastic and not flexible, as well as being small and light, one of the guards who was hiding in a tent by himself was shocked when the bird of prey manged to expose him by lifting the tent up with its talons. He tried shooting it despite the risk of being heard, but the bird managed to yank his arm, and the soldier decided he would rather lose a gun than his arm, so he let go of his gun.

The bird did not know that its prey had given up the weapon that was used to attack it, so it grabbed him with both talons and flew away to its nest, assuming the action figure would be good food for its young. The guard struggled to get out, but after seeing humans, became inanimate, as the living toys in this world wanted to keep the fact that they were alive a complete secret from humanity.

Thinking about it, the guard wondered why he did that so fast, then suspected it was instinct. On his way to his death, he also realized that, from the moment he gained life, he knew he was a toy and not an actual soldier. The bird eventually got to its nest and tried to feed the soldier to its young, and once the bird realized its young were not large enough to eat the prey it had gathered, it ate him itself.

As Green Team first noticed the bird of prey that would take the life of one of their guards, different events were going on inside the house. For some reason, three openings in three certain wall vents could suck small things like action figures up into a vent system that led straight to Blue Team's base, since they set up popsicle sticks so soldiers would not go beyond the opening.

Somehow, a Blue Team soldier used his grappling gun and went against the flow of the vent, eventually getting out near the kids' room. Unknown to him, the room right behind him was the computer room with White Team's base. Unaware that an enemy base was nearby, he went forward into the kids' room, and a Green Team soldier used a grappling gun on the open window to swing his way into the room.

The Blue Team soldier spotted some movement in the air, used the scope on his sniper rifle as a substitute for binoculars, and saw that the movement was another action figure. Realizing he was an enemy, the Blue Team soldier tried to shoot the Green Team soldier out of the air. However, he missed every shot due to having to hit a moving target. The Green Team soldier landed safely, and since he knew he was being shot at, he tried to use his own sniper rifle. He managed to hit the shoulders of his enemy, but the latter managed to kill his enemy with a headshot. However, after the battle, his arms fell off. He managed to kick them to the vent he used to get there, then followed once he was sure no enemies noticed him. The ones at his base were worried when they saw amputated arms fly out of the vent, fearing that their owner died. However, that owner soon followed, relieving them. He said, "I killed an enemy, but that enemy managed to shoot my arms off, but they only came off after his death."

One of the medics replied, "We can reattach them and make them work again. We have the super glue needed to do that." After a toy operation that the soldier thought felt very strange, his arms worked again, though he decided to stay back for a bit to adapt to having arms that were less mobile.

They all heard the engines of a spaceship toy that could fly when it moved on its own enter the attic. They couldn't see what it was even though there were lights in the attic.
