In this story you are in the shoes of an Apex Legends concept that's been sitting on the back burner for awhile. It is still and work in progress, both the story and the concept. Criticism is advised. I don't have mush of a posting schedule, just wh...
Over the next 2 weeks Y/n tried to get back into the swing of practice. He'd made sure to keep up with his fighting practice but now he had to relearn old tricks and fighting styles.
*2 weeks later*
Y/n and Ariadne were in the middle of their daily sparring, Ariadne had excelled at CQC and was much better than most would be with only 2 weeks of practice.
Y/n: "You're doing amazing with such little training Ariadne, take the rest of the day off."
Ariadne: *tired* "Thanks." *goes back into the ship, promptly passing out in bed*
Y/n makes his way back into the ship following her and goes to do the dishes. While doing them he looks up at a board they set up to keep track of their day-to-day and saw a flier Ariadne had picked up for the Apex Games "tree-outs" (If that reference is relevant to you you are certifiably not cringe. -Your friendly neighborhood pool guy.) on it he saw that the tryouts were today, in 5 hours. Y/n contemplated not going, while the money and security was nice there was the unsureness of not having Ariadne stay with him, and should she be stuck away from him and something happen, he would only have himself to blame. But it was her who got the flier, who reassured him that she would be fine. Worst case scenario, he could quit. And so Y/n made the decision to tryout, not before making Ariadne a snack and readying it for when she woke up and making a note to let her know where to find him.
*3 hours later*
Y/n: "So this is the entrance to Kings Canyon, not bad."
Y/n made his way into the large building, seeing a sign directing all tryouts to make their way to an auditorium of sorts. Inside he saw upwards of 30-40 people in there, a colorful cast. There were more signs directing him to a podium where they would put their names and a "title/callsign", also stating that, should you not have one yet, just put your name.
Y/n: "hmmm, what to use.... Impact? No, not bad but maybe, Dreadnought? Closer, but too long, Blitz, No, don't speak German neither. What makes me different, I'm big, not just big but tall. I'm also very heavy, Goliath? Too biblical, Titan?..... yeah no, maybe, Behemoth?"
Y/n settled with Behemoth for now, writing it down in the book. (If you guys want a different name then put it in the comments of this text, I'll go over them and if enough people agree on a different name and I like it, I'll change it.)
Once he had put his name and callsign he glanced down at the other names, seeing ones such as Zoom, Zeus, Usurper, Vengeance, Crag, Pummle, Haze, Quash, and many others.
After about 1 hour and 30 minutes 3 people stepped out, all of which Y/n recognized, some more than others. While Y/n didn't watch nearly as religiously as Ariadne he definitely knew these 3 people, 2 of which were the legends Bloodhound, and Mirage, the third was a glowing blue hologram of someone Y/n was shocked and offset by seeing, Kuben Blisk, he had seen him many times in the years he had fought as a soldier and gun for "hire" (I know that there is some timeline bullshit that isn't completely bulletproof but I'd think that Y/n as a trained and skilled fighter would be sold from owner to owner or leased out as a bodyguard/gun-for-"hire" by the people like Marder and others who still had some wealth, post war.)
Blisk: "Hello everyone, as many of you know, I am Kuben Blisk, the director and primary sponsor of the Apex Games, I am "here" to announce what you collection of lovelies are doing today, you will be competing both with and against each other to hopefully earn you spot as an Apex Legend. Before we get to that, we got to go over something, since you are all either idiots, mercenaries, or criminals I don't feel bad telling you that this will hurt, and there will be no takebacksies or second thoughts from here on out, you will fight today, whether you win or loose is up to you." Now, my friends here will get you all lined up and assign your teams. *referring to Blood and Mirage* once they are done, you will make your way onto the drop ship and drop into Kings Canyon, thing is, just to keep you on your toes your teams will be completely random, so don't make too many friends in here alright. Good night, and may the odds be ever in you corner." *Blisk's holo dissipates and Blood stand in front of the podium, previously held by Blisk*
Bloodhound: "Alright, your teams were already determined after you got in here and signed your names, you will be assigned in pairs." *pushes button, lighting up screen above them*
Team 1: Zeus and Coil Team 2: Techro and Usurper Team 3: Armish and Excalibur Team 4: Vengeance and Crag Team 5: Behemoth and Scope Yadayadayada
Beside their names were pictures that were, by the looks of it, taken when they signed their names. By Scope's names you could see an older man with a large, metal Conical Hat, long, tattered grey-blue robes, and a robotic eye, the other eye, the right eye, was white with cataracts. Eye looks:

Y/n: "Charming."
Scope: "Could say the same about you, "Behemoth."
Y/n turns around to see a man about 6ft 4inches, matching the description on the screen.
Y/n: "So your Scope, gotta say, the eye is a little intimidating."
Scope: "Hmm, wouldn't take you for the scaredy-cat type tall, sharp, and menacing."
Y/n: "So what can you do, shoot lasers out of you eye?"
Scope Passive: Watchful Eye Description: Scope can zoom in 4x normally and can add as much to already existing scope attachments. I.e. when looking down a 4x scope it actually can further enhance to an 8x, an 8x scope can enhance to a 12x scope, and a 12x can enhance to a 16x.
Scope Tactical: Laser Focus Description: Scope can charge and fire a long range beam of energy, the longer the button is held the longer the range and less spread, just pressing the button will create a medium range pulse, whether charged or not, enemies hit take light damage and are blinded temporarily.
Scope Ultimate: The Judge Description: Scope can equip a custom made railgun/sniper called the Judge. It has higher damage than the Kraber and no bullet drop. It also has an augmented Threat Scope, that can be turned on and off. It already has 6 rounds in the magazine (or clip if your a sociopath) and can hold an extra 18 in reserves but drops with only 6 more. It fires Energy rounds. ________________________________
Y/n: "Wow, you actually do fire lasers out of your eye."
Scope: "Yes, well it's certainly effective."
Bloodhound: "I hope that all of you are acquainted with your teammates as you must now make your way to the drop ship, with there being 38 of you we have 19 teams so be ready to fight for your lives. The actual fight starts in 2 more hours so move onto the ship and get comfortable.
Wooptidoo, finally got this out, I had a bit of writers block when making Scope's abilities so this took me MUCH longer than it should have, so I apologize. But that's 1302 words not too shabby if I do say so myself. Be nice, sleep well, goodnight.
