Discharged: A Rainbow Six Siege Story

Chapter 11: The Test

     Once I wake up, I see that Elena and I are in the back of an armored truck being taken somewhere. I almost act up because of the time I almost got friendly fired by an RPG while in one of these. I calm myself at the sight of Elena, sleeping nicely and soundly. Then I remember that she was also knocked out, and I see the bruise where she was hit with the buttstock of a rifle. Based on the imprint on her face, I'd say it was a PDW that one of them had. I quickly heal the bruise and wake her up. "Hey, Elena. Time to wake up." I say. She moans a little bit, then sits up and stretches. "Hey, Jason. What time is it?" She asks. "Well, I have no clue, seeing as we were knocked out and thrown in the back of an armored truck headed who knows where," I say. "Hey, cut the chatter back there!" One of the soldiers in the front says. "You know who you're talkin' to, cyka?" I ask him. "He's about to be dead if he keeps this up." The soldier says. I'm starting to get pissed off, but Elena stops me from talking, puts a hand on my cheek, and tells me that it'll be alright. I don't know how, but it calms me down immediately. I smile and sit back. The rest of the ride takes about an hour, and once we arrive the driver kicks us out of the vehicle. We're then escorted to a large track looking area, in which we are two of the contestants. I then look around and see that all of the other contestants are men. Mira is the only female contestant. "Well, this is gonna go well," I say to myself. All of the men here also seem to be military, and all were born and raised in this country. As I pass, the men growl at me and whistle for Elena. "Watch it, puto, I wouldn't want to have to kill you," I say to him in Spanish. He acts surprised, then throws a punch. I catch his fist, then throw it back at him. "Hey! The fighting will be done in a little while!" Says the announcer. Elena and I take our spot near the middle of the crowd of contestants. "Alright! Let's get this started! Welcome to the sixteenth annual Spanish Military Bull Run!" he says. "The test is a goddamn bull run?" I ask Elena. "Yea, sorry I didn't tell you earlier. Oh, there's also one more thing. The contestants can kill each other." She says. "What?" I ask. "Yea, this is survival fo the fittest and fastest. Either you kill everyone or you win the race." She says. "Well goddamnit. Guess if you ain't first, you're last." I say. "Exactly," Mira says. "Now, with all that out of the way, let the race begin!" The announcer says, and the fencing that holds the bulls is released, and everyone starts running. "You aren't allowed to kill right off the bat. Once we reach the forest, you can kill someone." Elena says. "Alright..." I say, giving the Ace of Spades back to Ace. Elena chuckles a bit. We run like this for an hour or two, then we reach the forest. "Alright, PvP enabled zone. Hell yea." I say. I pull out the Ace of Spades and hold it up, ready to shoot anyone who dares to even look at me or Elena. I don't see anyone, and night is beginning to fall. "Well, I think we should pack it up for the night and get some sleep," I say. "Alright, I think that everyone else is going to do that, and the bulls are probably tired as well," Elena says. We walk off the trail and set up a tent. Ace and Shepherd help us put it up, and Shepherd gives a small fire to keep us warm. Ace pulls out some supplies we can use to make food. Once we cook it up and eat, Elena and I lie down, grateful to be with one another again.

     I wake up at 5:00 in the morning to the sound of rustling in the bushes. "Looks like someone set up a camp here." Says a man with a deep voice. "Let's kill 'em." Says another with a slightly higher pitch. I roll out of my sleeping mat and sneak out of the tent. I use the bushes and trees as cover to get behind the two men. They rip open a small hole in the tent and see Mira. "Oh, so it's the American and Chick's tent. I'm sure he won't mind if we had a little bit of fun, considering he's not here." The more burly man with the deeper voice says. I grab his accomplice and quietly rip his lower jaw off and stuff his boot in his mouth to keep him quiet. I then break his leg and crush his head by stomping on it. "And first blood has been drawn!" Says the announcer. The burly man turns around to see that his partner is gone. I climb up a tree, then drop a rock on the dead body, loud enough for the man to hear, but quiet enough so that Elena can keep sleeping. he walks over to see the mutilated body of his friend. I then drop on him, knock him to the ground, and crush his head as I did with his friend. "And the first team has been eliminated!" The announcer says. I crack my knuckles and go to wake up Elena. "Hey, honey. Time to go again." I say. She sits up, stands up, kisses me, and we start to pack up. Ace fixes the tent before we put it away. Once we do, we start to run again. "How many people did you kill before I woke up?" Mira asks. "Just two. Both glory kills, though." I say. "Nice. Alright, now we just need to keep this up, and the race will be ours." Elena says. "Right. And I ain't letting you die again, alright?" I say to her. "Si, Jason." She says. I hear the bulls start to stir, so we start to get a move on.
