A while has passed, and YN and his squad are still standing strong with only 4 or so squads left in their wake. after that battle with that recent squad, YN had found himself a lot more on edge than he usually was. "you doing alright?" Bangalore asked interrupting YN's thoughts, "I don't know, can't help but feel like I'm being watched" YN replied insecurely. "yeah, usually like that during the last few rounds" Bangalore informed. "but still, be on your guard, call em if you spot em" "Yes ma'am" YN responded, doing a little salute. YN silently chuckled at his little joke before something glinted in his eye. YN tilted his head to the side before going in to investigate. there on the ground, a massive bullet shell lay. To YN, he never even knew that bullets could be that big " uh hey you guys, come check this out" YN beckoned "what do you think it could be?" he asked, "looks to be some kind of sniper round" Bangalore inquired " Y-you don't think a Kraber could have fired this, right?" YN ponded, shocked at the idea of the damage it could do "No couldn't have, the shell's too thick for the thing" Bangalore explained. YN hummed in thought "well whatever it was shot from, it doesn't seem friendly, cmon let's move" Bangalore ushered. YN looked back at the shell in thought before dropping it and trying to catch up with his team.
[Inset time skip because I don't know what to do next]
"Attention: Two squads remain" the robotic announcer informed "alright everyone, deep breaths we've almost got this" Bangalore encouraged lying behind a rock. "well, no backing out now, let's end this" YN added on, reloading his wingman
[Vantage POV]
Among the cliff edge, I lay, rifle in hand peering down at its scope, just a singular shot to victory, another chance to free my mom. "Last squad remaining just us, and them, amigos" Octane informed, Echo chirped in excitement behind me "alright one more win for the belt, probably best I book my victory massage" chuckled Mirage, all game he hasn't shut up about his back. Eh, I guess it's just an old people thing. But, something about this match felt different, we never got told that a new guy was in this match. not to mention how frail he looked. probably best not to think about it; the faster I win this game the faster I get my mom out. My eyepiece suddenly picked something up somewhere to the left. There, at 500 metres I could barely make out a blue box with a yellow face in it hiding behind a rock, it was Pathfinder. "Looks like we're in luck team people, last squad, way over there, looks level three shields" I called out. Octane almost immediately threw his jump pad and launched himself into battle, typical. "oh, well, he kinda just threw himself in there, uhh Mara you good up here?" Mirage asked " sure, the arrogant pray always goes first" I responded " ooookay, well I'm going to help Octavio out, you can sit tight and help us back here" Mirage instructed rather awkwardly, before running to the jump pad to help. Finally alone, just me and my pray, easy "Round 4, beginning ring countdown"
"Let the hunt begin.
[Y/N POV]
"Alright round 4, deep breaths" Y/N inhaled deeply, now was no time to be scared. Y/N sat idlily behind some boulders as pathfinder peered through his weapon, scoping his surroundings. Bangalore on the other hand, sat waiting for path's call, she was getting slightly impatient. "Path, what can you see?" Bangalore inquired "I believe I see enemy's that wa-" out of nowhere, Pathfinder's head exploded and fell to the ground leaving a massive hole where head should be. "We're under fire, MOVE!" Bangalore shouted, launching her smoke beneath her. Y/N launched himself from his spot, sprinting as fast as he can before sliding into cover, tossing a grenade "Frag out"
*crack* *smash*
"Hey, I cracked a target's shield!" Y/N announced, with excitement blooming in his chest however, it wouldn't last long as the sound of a sniper rang clear "I'm down, need a medic" she'd been shot. An overwhelming dread fell over Y/N as he struggled to breathe, staring aimlessly at his shaking hands. His only guide had just fallen and there wasn't a lot of time left, whatever plan Y/N had, he'd have to make it fast. Y/N's hands twitched violently and a burning frustration grew bigger and bigger in his chest. How dare he, he's letting everyone down, his team, the audience, Kuban Blisk, even his own mother. "No, I refuse" Y/N growled "I refuse to go down like this" his arms began to pour powder, slowly swarming Y/N and the space around him, Octane and Mirage stopping at the sight. "I REFUSE TO DIE!!!" Y/N howled barbarically, finally snapping his fingers. A mass explosion erupted around Y/N, Octane and Mirage being caught in the crossfire, knocked to the ground and bleeding out.
Y/N quickly turned to face the small orange laser, which failed to fire amidst all the chaos Y/N had made. A shot was fired, Y/N narrowly dodging it with a roll sprinting closer to his target, unleashing more powder and detonating it, knocking the girl out of focus. Vantage blindly fired her rifle, just barely grazing Y/N's leg. undeterred, Y/N started to open fire with his wingman, sliding into cover while doing so.
"ATTENTION: FINAL RING CLOSING"
Vantage had little options left, she launched herself from her cliff face with her bat, prepping her flatline to finish the job. Y/N noticed this and quickly unleased more powder in front of her. she quickly slid to the side and into cover, just missing the explosion. Y/N, filled with complete desperation, fury and rashness, legged his way to the girls cover, mastiff in hand. Y/N swiftly leaped atop the rocks covering the sniper savant. The young woman got a long look the the new legend, something about this guy felt... Different, like he's not meant to be here, who is this guy? Her thoughts however, fell silent as a strong shotgun blast ended the match, claiming its victor.
"WE HAVE A WINNER"
He did it, he won, its all over, the match is over. Y/N had successfully killed his way to the top. Y/N panting heavily, his head feeling lighter then a helium balloon, and his limbs feel like there about to fall off. "ha haaa~" Y/N chuckled "I- I won" Y/N's vision began to blur , his balance falling out of whack before eventually, his body couldn't hold him any longer, and fell to the ground unconscious as all sound around him, slowly fell silent. the last thing he could see, being a pair of white boots rushing to him before everything, went to black.
