Action Figure Battle Royale

Chapter 6: Third Place

Somehow, even though news did not travel fast at all in the battle royale, the four surviving Blue Team soldiers found their team's new base in the pantry. However, two White Team soldiers noticed them, and they lured them right to the base. One of the White Team soldiers said, "We should go back to base and tell the others of it! Then we can all raid this base!"

His partner replied, "But if we deal with them now, there will be less threats to deal with, saving us time,"

"I guess you're right. They can probably see us, so..."

They started trying to snipe them. Blue Team was on the defense now, and they all stayed inside their base made of food. A Blue Team guard managed to knock over a can of food and push it, trying to crush their enemies. Unfortunately for them, the White Team soldiers got out of the way easily, and once they realized that the food was stopping their bullets, they pulled out their grappling hooks, aimed at the wall behind them, fired, and went up there.

They got into the base, killing two of Blue Team's soldiers and the Guard that thought to try to crush them with food cans, but they took heavy damage and decided to retreat, jumping off the edge, but using their grappling hooks to slow their fall down enough to land safely. The two soldiers that died were the one that won the first battle and the one that got his arms glued back on.

As Blue Team was defending their base as two members of White Team attacked, a lone White Team soldier wandered into the master bedroom. He noticed the corpse of a modern US soldier dressed to camouflage in a desert, and since he was curious if their base was nearby, he entered the master bathroom, looked over the corner of the shower, and he saw more of the same kind of soldier he saw was dead. They all stared for a second before they started shooting at the same time.

The White Team soldier was confident he would be able to force them to abandon their base or kill everyone there, but he got distracted thinking about the praise his teammates would give him in the future instead of focusing on the battle in the now. That let the Yellow Team guards get good shots off on him.

Once he realized what had happened, he started panicking, and by luck, he managed to shoot one of Yellow Team's medics enough times to kill her. Once she died, the guards shot faster to protect their surviving one, and the attempt to destroy Yellow Team's base ended in failure for the White Team soldier, as he was slain by sword impalement through the neck, courtesy of one of Yellow Team's guards. The remaining Yellow Team medic and the Yellow Team guards were relieved that at least some of them survived, but were upset at the death of a medic.

After the attack on Blue Team's new base, they were down to one of each of the three kinds of units. They left the dead soldiers there, as they would not decay. The surviving Blue Team soldier said, "So... what's the plan now?"

The surviving guard replied, "Well, since there are only three of us left, we might as well all go find an enemy base to destroy. It's now an all or nothing strategy, as we are so tight on... well, for lack of a better term... tight on men."

The remaining medic said, "Let's do it. I can heal you on the battlefield, so we have a chance!"

The soldier asked, "Uh, how are we going to find and get to an enemy base?"

The guard was looking over the side, and he saw some toy horses that would be a good size for them to ride, so he said in a whisper, "Alright, I have an idea. We're going to jump onto the horses down there from here, use our grappling guns to slow our falls to land safely, then order them to take us to an enemy base."

There were three toy horses, so they jumped off, used the grappling gun on the ceiling of the pantry, and landed on the horses. The guard said, "To an enemy base! Giddy up!"

To his surprise, the horses did not start going. Instead, they turned their heads around to their riders and asked, "Why should we listen to you? You are unfamiliar, so-" but the guard pointed his gun at the head of his horse and said, "You are going to be mounts for us, or else I'll shoot you!"

Intimidation worked, and the horses all started going. The one the guard chose had more authority than the other two, so they followed. They galloped around, and after finding a bunch of other toys who ran from the sight of the hostile action figures in other rooms, they went to the master bathroom. They saw the corpse of an action figure of a Soviet Union soldier from World War II dressed to camouflage in winter along with the corpse of a modern US soldier closer to the bed, and they went around a corner and found an enemy base. The horses heard gunshots, and they went high up to get Blue Team off them, then begged to Yellow Team as they galloped in retreat, "These guys threatened to kill us if we didn't take them to a base of their enemies! We had no idea you were here! We don't want to die! Please spare us!"

The remaining members of Blue Team got up after being dropped off and started shooting in the direction of their enemies. The guard shouted in frustration, "An enemy base was RIGHT WHERE we entered the rest of the house! How did we not notice them?!"

They all focused on different enemies, which was a mistake, as the Yellow Team medic was able to heal the guards quickly. The Yellow Team guards focused on Blue Team's medic, and once they could no longer heal due to her death, they focused on the guard, killed him, and then went onto the soldier. The Blue Team soldier, knowing he was the last member of Blue Team, started using the sword of Blue Team's last guard in one hand and the heated knife of Blue Team's last medic at once. However, he did not know how to properly dual wield, he failed to kill any of them before he himself was slain.

In this battle royal, every member of Blue Team was now dead. They got third place. While it may no longer be considered a battle royal now that there were only two teams left, they were both after each other, even if not all of them knew what their enemy was like...
