"Hey Che can you come over here and help with these spiders". I glance over and it's Octavio who decided yet again it would be a good idea to fight the gigantic spiders on storm point. I run over and help him. "You know you should be more careful Silva" I said in a stern tone. " I know, I know Chica, but it's just so much fun the adrenaline coursing through your veins" he remorses. " Silva do you not see your legs" I chuckled. " Hey Hermana I would watch your tongue." Silva reply's sarcastically. Before I could reply another spider lunged out at us. Luckily I had my Flatline out still. I pressed the cold steel trigger and after three loud pops the spider collapsed. Then all you could hear was fizzing that was almost like the crackling of static electricity. It was Wraith our teammate, she had just returned from the void. "Can you love birds stop fighting. This is a blood sport you know" She says as she glances towards us in annoyance her icy eyes piercing our souls. Silva and I look at each other confused on what we just heard. I was the first to break the awkward silence. "Silva and I are not love birds. We are only childhood friends.". Wraith didn't look that convinced. I just shrugged it off and headed towards the ring. The ring was extremely far compared to the usual distance. The thud of metal against the ground let me know that Octavio is following me. " Your still slow Cariño" Octavio taunts as he sprints by. "That's a good one Octavio, if only I understood Spanish" I remorse in an annoyed tone. I heard him mumble but I couldn't make out any actual words. While running I found myself zoning out. All I could think about was how Wraith called us love birds. We are just friends right, like close childhood friends. I'm probably overthinking I've known Octavio since we were like six. There was something about him though. I'm getting ahead of myself again. An abrupt boom interrupts my thoughts. It was a grenade explosion and it was close which means. Then I spotted them. A team over on the low side of the cliff. I quickly warn the others and take cover. Octavio decided not to listen and he rushed towards the team. This forces me and Wraith to accompany him. There was absolutely no way he would kill the entire team by himself. So we decide to push through the ridge and use the extra brush to hide us a give us what little cover could be found on these parts of the map. Of course Octavio gets knocked first. So while Wraith holds the line of fire, I res Silva. " One day I may not pick you up Silva" I voice. " Hey Hermana you know you couldn't leave me behind" he remarks. I grunt in annoyance "Maybe not but some days I really do question you Tavi" in rebuttal. " Hey chica I haven't heard that one since we were kids". He points out out. Moments later the arena speakers boomed across the outlands. " We have you Apex Champions". I leap in excitement "Silva we did it we won" I exclaimed. " Yes Hermana and I couldn't have done it without you".He reply's. " You know it Tavi" I smirked.  Then the whooshing of the drop ship alerts us that its time to head home.
