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

Chapter 13 - The Situation Was Not Good

Ajay, Anita, and Renee stood together as they waited for the seconds to tick down. When the timer finally hit zero and the ramp of the transport ship opened. Bangalore smirked, "I came here to party, let's rock." She then proceeded to dive out of the ship. Lifeline and Wraith followed shortly after. Wraith set a location ping for Skull Town, "We have no choice but to win." Bangalore confirmed the location, "Roger." Lifeline also confirmed the location, "I heard that."

During their descent Lifeline shifted around in the air to look for the other team's dive trails. She noticed trails going towards Bunker. She set a ping for the enemy team at Bunker. "Dive trails spotted going towards Bunker." Lifeline turned around and landed with the rest of her team. Wraith and Bangalore both acknowledged the dive trails as they all raced to pick up armor, weapons, backpacks, healing, and throwables.

They were all astounded when they came across the new weapons that they were just introduced to only couple of months ago. Lifeline almost jumped up and down with excitement. She had been training with all of the weapons, including the new ones, daily. She immediately her beloved Hemlok and an R99. She even found sights and extended magazines for each of her weapons. 

Lifeline made sure to carry enough heavy and light ammo to share just in case. She also had plenty of syringes and shield cells to go around. She hurried to help the rest of her team find any items that they needed. She ended up finding them armor and that was about it before Bangalore announced that it was time to wrap it up.

Wraith end up with a Wingman and a Peacekeeper. Bangalore carried a G7 Scout and P2020. Everyone found level one armor and level one helmets. Lifeline found a level two backpack while the rest of her team found level one backpacks. Bangalore was the proud owner of a level three knockdown shield while Lifeline and Wraith both carried level one knockdown shields. After looting what they could, they finally parted ways with Skull Town.

The team began to make their long trek across the arena to Bunker. They did little looting along the way so that they could catch up with the other team. The ring favored Bunker as the storm began to close in around the two teams. As they neared Bunker, Bangalore pinged the backside entrance, which faced Airbase. Lifeline and Wraith quickly followed her lead and headed towards the pinged location. Bangalore always seemed to have some sort of plan to gain the upper hand.

"If we hit Bunker from the backside then we have the high ground." Bangalore made sure to explain her reasoning to her teammates. Lifeline knew that Bangalore was right. The inside of Bunker was comprised of a long corridor with rooms and stairs and more rooms at the bottom of the stairs. Bangalore had always told them to enter from the backside, if they could, so that they were not at the bottom of the stairs; high ground was always key to any battle.

The Bunker doors were loud as Wraith cracked them open. Bangalore stood ready with her P2020 drawn, aiming down the sight as the doors parted from the middle. Bangalore entered first, followed by Wraith, who had her Wingman drawn. Lifeline remained outside just in case things went downhill; that was usually always the plan since they became a team. If things went bad then Lifeline would have to decide to run or fight.

That's exactly how Lifeline had won her first game, by running when things went downhill and got bad. 'Play smart. Play to win. Hide if you have to. Don't run in like a dumbass.' That's what Bangalore had told her in one their many training sessions. These were more or less the same things that she had learned on the battlefield during the war. She wasn't totally unprepared when she came to the battle royale.

Wraith began to hear voices in her head, which was usually an indication of sort of danger. The voices warned her about the dangers that were ahead. The voices also warned her if someone was targeting her. Sometimes the voices didn't start talking until it was too late, and this was one of those times. By the time the voices had spoken to her it was already too late.
