Game Over - An Achievement Hunter and Ray Narvaez Jr. Fanfiction

//:Chapter Two = Overtaken

It was just another day for Team Gents. They went back to their office after easily winning another match, as if they needed more points to cement their team further as the top of the Anarchy Leaderboard. They practiced a bit more that afternoon, running some new formations and strategies, before calling it a day and each returning to their own homes.

The next day they were all up early as usual, lazing around, while Jack in particular took to watching the news, listening only partially to what was being said.

As he managed the Team Gents website, though, Jack caught something out of the corner of his eye on the television screen. The news always had a sidebar displaying the various Leaderboards and rankings, but as the Fate Anarchy Leaderboard ranks ran by, something didn’t seem right. As the sidebar circled that particular Leaderboard again, Jack looked for the top spot, assuming to see Team Gents at the top as always. He caught the scrolling number and read the name of the team beside it, finding it displaying Team…Lads?

Jack’s jaw dropped and he quickly switched from the Team Gents website to the Leaderboard Ranking Tracker, searching Fate Anarchy Leaderboard as fast as he could. This had to be a mistake…right?

But, no, there was no such mistake. The tracker confirmed it, displaying the mysterious Team Lads at the number one spot, with the Gents just behind them in second.

Jack was quick to call his teammates up then, hearing two sleepy yet distinct hellos in response. The group’s healer swiftly explained the situation, hearing rapid typing as he continued to clarify the scenario in exasperation. Tense silence fell over the group as Jack ceased his rambling and the other two stopped typing, Geoff’s one word voice crack of “How?” being the only thing to break the silence.

Jack decided to devise a plan. They had to get their spot at the top of the Anarchy Leaderboard back. “Well, Ryan, you are the stalker guy, can’t you do some research on these guys?”

The man in question’s initial response was “Hey! I am not…” though the argument quickly turned into incomprehensible mumbling, that even halting after a bit. After a couple of moments of silence, Ryan finally responded again, shouting a little too loudly, “Fine! I’ll text you the details when I get them!” Before a loud click confirmed that Ryan had angrily hung up. That just left Jack and Geoff, who were oddly at a lack of things to say.

They eventually just decided to hang up, presuming that another phone call would occur when the information on this new team that had stolen their spot was found. Ryan was pretty quick on research, so the two could only assume that they would hear from the elementally charged spell caster soon enough.

Jack and Geoff just pondered as they waited for what “Ryan the Stalker/Research Guy” discovered, wondering how this could have happened. They were so far ahead of whoever was in second place, and then they were suddenly dethroned, left questioning how they were left in the dust of a team that just suddenly appeared.

One thing was for sure though, once the Gents were briefed on exactly who they were up against, a plan was definitely going to be made, and the top rank would be theirs again.
