CHAPTER ONE: 66G9Q

"On the pods, guys," said Moose, the leader of Team 66G9Q. Moose was the strategist. He was the facts. He was the logic. He was the analyst. He watches other teams play, all day all night. He took notes. He made charts and graphs. He new every team's weakness. He predicted every move. He was the brains of 66G9Q.

"Woo! Let's get this party started!" shouted Jakyos Cannon, a member of 66G9Q. He was one of those superhuman guys. He jumps high, runs fast, and has the best instincts you'll ever see in your life.

"Hey L, you remember the equipment?" whispered Jonathan Jewell into the ear of L Johanson. Jonathan and L were the "Hackers" of our team, as we like to call it. The "equipment" was a set full of dozens of pinprick sized cameras, 7 headsets, and a weightless computer with state-of-the-art software systems which control both the cameras and headsets... invented by L and Jonathan themselves. (P.S. Jonathan's real name is Ben, but we call him Jonathan for no reason.) They were also the brains, but in a more... techno way.

"Yeah, here's yours," whispered L while tossing a duplicate black backpack to Jonathan, which contained another set of equipment.

"Wait," said Tim, a guy on the team who wasn't fast, but not slow. He wasn't tall, but not short. He was intimidating. His glare will haunt you. "What scenario are we doing again?" And Tim Kim didn't pay attention most of the time.

"Yeeaahh," said Zak, "I didn't really get the memo either." Zak Gerbs was athletic. He had a strong right arm (there were rumors that he was a robot with a super arm at one point). He was manipulating. Usually, the female video-gamers were the ones that guarded the base in the scenario ('cause that's just what female video-gamers are good at). Zak would let himself be captured, then he'd flirt with the girl(s) guarding the base. He will then hypnotize her. Oh yeah, by the way, he majored in hypnotherapy.

"We're doing Capture the Flag: Construction Site," exclaimed Oscar. Oscar Hozz was always on it. He was athletic. He was smart. He was an all around player.

All of a sudden, a robotic woman's voice came on the speakers. "Wel-come to por-tal com-bat do you ex-cept the chall-enge to play I-V-G-A Team 2-4-9-F-4 in Cap-ture the Flag: Con-struc-tion Site," it said, expressionless.

Moose then responded, "I, Moose Lira, of IVGA Team 66G9Q, accept the scenario of Capture the Flag: Construction Site."

Bleep! "Be read-y to be trans-por-ted in-to an-oth-er di-men-sion," the robot voice said, "make sure you are stan-ding on your a-tom pods."

"5..." said the speaker.

Every single time they do a scenario, at this moment 66G9Q says their motto, "We are Team 66G9Q," they all proudly said together, "We win, and that is all we do.

"2... 1... 0..." Shwooom!!! And with that, they were gone.

Most people would think that the motto is stupid and childish. And some do. But it doesn't make a difference if they say it or not... 66G9Q is still going to be the best team on the planet.
