Battle of the Apps

Kai's Trail

~Facebook Headquarters~

"Are all the posters gathered?" I ask Penny. "Almost, we're missing one though," she informs me.

"Twelve." Twelve is one of my top soldiers but a very a irritable one. He almost never shows up on time and when there's a fight he never shows up.

Luckily, now, he can't pass up this opportunity.

"I know where he is. I'll find him but don't let anybody attack unless you absolutely have to." "Okay ma'am."

He honestly should know by now I know all of his hiding spots.

I walk to his "hidden" secluded corner. "Why aren't you lined up?" "Because. You guys don't really need me in this. Do you?" "Yes, we do," I say now annoyed.

"You're practically begging me at this point now babe," he cheekily smiles. He gets up from where he was sitting. "Just this once I'll make an exception. For you." I mouth "thank you" and return to where everyone has gathered.

"Listen up everyone!" I yell. All of the posters focus their eyes on me. "Here is the plan. We cross Kai's Trail and go directly across Kailee's Path. Google headquarters will be our first place to sink. Anyone have a question, anxiety, concern?" No one says anything.

"Good. Now, MOVE OUT!"

~Google Headquarters~

There's word that Facebook is going to attack Google first. I shouldn't be so anxious about this. I pace back and forth until Sherry enters the room.

"Sir. Everyone has lined up. We're waiting for you." "Yeah, I'll be there in a minute." She exits the room and I'm left with thoughts.

The only way she'll get here is through Kai's Trail and then Kailee's Path. Hmm...

I know! She won't even see it coming.

~Facebook's P.O.V.~

We get to the sign that says "Now entering Kai's Path." I move forward along with 50,001 people. I have the largest legion in all of Virtual World. There's no way we can lose.

We walk for a while when I have a very uneasy feeling. Something's not right. It's too...quiet. "Keep your guard up," I command.

We walk a bit further, everyone still keeping an eye out. I hear an arrow shoot and it blasts one of my people, turning them to air.

"It's an ambush!" I yell. So many arrows are whizzing past me I can't tell if it'll hit me or not. I run a ways and turn my head back. I can see many of my men getting decimated. I turn my head back when an arrow nearly makes contact with my face.

I jerk my head to the side and barely avoid it.

"Bravo. I really thought that would hit you. I guess the rumors are true," someone says. I almost immediately recognize the person's voice and grin.

"Meilin." "Long time no see, sister."

"So you did go work for Google. Tell me, how's the last few years been treating you?" "Like shit," she responds. "Oh, still have that vulgar mouth of yours I see." "Enough small talk. Let's see which is finally the stronger sibling."

She pulls her sword out and I pull my shotgun out of the air.

~Author's P.O.V.~

Facebook's shotgun, known as "Target's End", is a shotgun that can pierce anything. She can pull it out of thin air or summon it with a snap of her fingers. This shotgun is devastatingly powerful and has an impact radius of six feet. It's magazine size is only a single bullet but the damage makes up for it.

Meilin's sword is not an ordinary sword given from Google. This sword is specially designed to hit a target with immense force. Not only does it do a handful number on the target's physical ability but also they become very fatigued when hit. They find themselves tired and unable to fight back. While her sword is extremely heavy, she has (over the years) adapted to its weight.

~Facebook's P.O.V.~

Meilin comes at me first with a simple straight forward strike with her sword. "I see you're still wobbly with your coordination," I say as I knee her in the stomach. She grunts and backs up.

She comes back at me again but with an uppercut of her sword. I swiftly step to the side and elbow her head. "Now you're just teasing me," she says.

I smile and say, "Just like I used to." She grabs another sword and charges at me again. I flip over her. She quickly spins around and tries to hit me but I duck and kick her in the stomach.

While she's stunned I say, "Bye bye." I shoot my gun expecting her to die but after the dust clears I can see something. She's alive? But how? I can tell from her being quite out of breath she broke the bullet.

No one has ever done that.

"I'm quite impressed. You split my bullet in half. No one has ever done that. But know," I reload my gun before continuing, "Is where you die."

"Nope. Now, you've just pissed me off!" she screams. "Sword Art, Vanish!" she disappears. Where'd you go little girl?

"Ah, there you are." She appears behind me and tries to aim for my head but I turn around and grab the sword. I clamp my hand down on it and crush it, having many pieces of it shatter.

I hit her in the chin hardly with the back of my shotgun. She falls to the ground and scurries to get away from me by backing up with her heels.

I stomp on her stomach and lean down. "You should learn to respect your elders." I point the shotgun at her and pull the trigger. As soon as I do, my foot drops and I'm stepping on nothing but dirt.

~Google Headquarters~

I can't believe this woman. She killed her own sister. And for what? Popularity?

Facebook is more lethal than I thought. Meilin didn't even get a scratch on her. This is serious. I need to take emergency precautions.

~Facebook's P.O.V.~

When I turn around, my men have finished the remaining people who had ambushed us. "Penny, give me a body count." "651, ma'am." That's not as bad as I thought it'd be. I nod my head and we keep moving to Kailee's Trail.
