Cale was sitting on his couch in his basement when it happened. None of his friends were online, or they made it so he couldn't see they were online (He hoped this was not the case). They were great friends, but they did not like to play games with him. Cale was not very good, and he knew it. He had tried to have his friends teach him, but they would rather be playing the game than teaching someone it. 

   The game Helidan had taken over the gaming industry. Gamers everywhere loved its fast-paced futuristic gameplay. While the game had many game modes, almost everyone plays deathmatch. In deathmatch, you are placed on a team with seven other people and you fight the other team to get more kills. Now what made Helidan so popular was that their deathmatch has elements of gun game and a battle royale in it.  The first team that reached one hundred kills would win the game but in Helidan every time you killed someone you got a better gun, but first you would have to go around the map and find that better gun. While Cale liked the game, he preferred other games. Maybe that was because he sucked at Helidan. 

   His favorite thing about Helidan is that the gaming clan Toxic played it. They had helped bring the game into fame by playing it on their streams. Almost every Toxic member streamed 24/7 and made a lot of money off of it. Not only that, but they were good. Like REALLY good. Cale wanted to be like them, or even be a part of them. He knew it would never happen, but he dreamed about it anyways.

Whenever Cale had no friends on, he would usually practice on the shooting gallery, but it always got really boring, so today he decided to not play with his friends and with random people. He didn't do this much, because he usually ended up with some two-year-old screaming into his mic. 

He picked the Frostbite Cove map because everyone played it and it had a really cool cave system. When he got in the game, he looked at his teammates. He liked to look at their usernames because sometimes they were hilarious, like dogbutt37. Not this time though. When he saw he had Purple Wolf on his team he froze. He thought about it and realized it was probably a fake and not to get his hopes up, but when he heard that deep gnarly voice he knew he was on a team with Toxic's team leader.
