Ch. 2 - final
...there was only darkness surrounding me. I was floating but felt heavy at the same time. No sound, nothing to see. Just pure darkness. At least until I saw a little spark in the distance. I tried to focus on it and go towards the light. It started shining brighter and brighter, its' color turning turquoise green. Am I really dead? The thought scared me and I tried to fight my way out of the light but with no results. The force of the light pulled me towards it until it engulfed me whole. Brought from a dark place to be eaten up by light, I tried to fix my sight on the surroundings. My vision switched to different people. It felt like watching the world through their eyes until it switched to another. Then after a cycle of people it went back to mine vision. I could feel my body but I couldn't move it. The only thing I could do is stare at the walls of the Operon Lab's building. Wait what?
The halls were filled by silence. Everyone has already left while my corpse was just laying on the cold floor. Slowly regaining my strength in my arms, I move my fingers around a bit. Then, when I could fully control my body, I sit up and look around.
Me: This is a weird joke as heaven.
I snorted and then stood up. Walking up to the elevator where I saw Smartie last and pressing the button I wait for it to arrive. With a ding, the door opened and I got inside. Choosing a floor for the main labs, the door closed in front of me and then the elevator moved, taking me up. Arriving on higher floors, I exit the elevator and walk around. Our lab is completely empty. Seems like it has been years since anyone worked in here. I guess that's how afterlife works?! Leaving the main lab, I go take a stroll in the building. The lights were working in other sections of the building and it seemed busy. I looked at the people through the small windows on the lab door. Then I was interrupted by someone's voice.
Male voice: Who are you and what are you doing here?
I turned around and looked at the person bamboozled, thinking of how is it possible that they see me. Finally I could focus on the words and listened into the conversation. The person grabbed his walkie and pressed the little button to activate it, speaking to a person on the other hand.
Pumpabörd: This is Pumpabörd. Cleaning connector and found a non-indentified person.
Then I snapped back into the conversation and then tried to communicate with the person in front of me. Telling him my name and work position in the labs. But it still didn't convince him and he continued to call for the help.
Pumpabörd: Office, we have a code 238. Security breach in CT on the way to the A main hall. Assistence required.
He then asked me to calmly follow him while he was holding his gun. I have never seen this guy in my life but even if he was a newbie, they should have brief them on the lab personnel and their faces. I tried to look for my ID but there was nothing on me that would prove my identity. After a few seconds I could see two more men appearing from behind the corner and running to our position. The only thing I can do now is run to my locker and look for my things. I start slowly running back, taking small steps until I turn around completely and start running faster. The security members start chasing me through the halls. The one that found me was slowly getting closer to me but there was no way for me to out run him. I looked back to see how far he still was and then I saw him throwing something in the air. I followed the flying object and then it suddenly bursts in air, releasing a beam of light and blinding me in the process. I couldn't see anything for a few seconds and I knew that they would be able to catch me after this. But subconsciously I moved my arms in the air and felt something flew out of my hands. Then after my vision was back, I could see the security stepping on a green glass that slowed them down. This was my chance to flee their sight. I started running again even though I was confused at what that broken glass thing was. I could hear their steps on the glass and how slow they were but then I suddenly heard someone run fast. So fast that it was not humanly possible. I turned around to see what it was and I saw a person running with electricity bolts around their body. Their hair lit up and they were shooting laser beams at me. It scared me and no matter how fast I tried to run, they caught up with me. I tried to do that glass thing one more time but they suddenly started sliding on the floor and then the electricity beam hit me. I lost my consciousness and I thought that this is the real end but then suddenly I was standing on a platform, Smartie standing next to me with Meto and two others. One person had long blonde hair and a bow. Despite looking like a man, when they spoke, you could hear a female voice. And then the other person had snow white hair, dressed in blueish clothes and knives floating around her. I sighed and then I realized my enemy is back. I don't know how, but it seemed like everything reset to original and we were all back alive. I wanted to run and get a revenge on Plushii but I couldn't. No matter where I tried to cross, there was a light blue barrier that was holding me back. I took out a knife that I had with me and tried to slash through but with no luck. Then I was going to slash one more time but the barrier disappeared and I could pass through. I started to run towards the other side of the Operon's lab, where Plushii had her office. I wanted to go through the main hall but then Meto stopped me.
Meto: I don't think direct approach will get us there. We should take the middle route and go slowly, without making any noises.
Me: I guess so. We should be more careful. Especially of Plushii and that weapon of hers!
Meto: I think that was a one-time thing. Or at least it will take a time for her to recharge that weapon.
Blonde guy: I can shoot my arrow and see if they are there.
Meto: Then we can take this bomb and put it in one of the main areas and blast this place to pieces.
Me: That is a good idea. And if they follow us, I will throw the glass at them. Or build a wall from the glass to stop them trying to get to us or the bomb.
I looked at Smartie and he was hovering his arms in the air. He wasn't moving but then suddenly a black ball of smoke flew past us and landed around the main area A. Same place as that Pumpa officer caught me before. This time I will be the one winning the fight though. We all started to walk slowly and quietly through the mid area but then I hear a strange noise. I look back to see Smartie with his arms crossed in front of his chest and then disappearing in dark shadows. He was gone for a few seconds but then came back with a grunt. He told us that he saw one robotic guy in the area and no one else. That's what persuaded us even more to fight for that place over the B area. We quickly started to run towards A area with weapons and the bomb ready to be placed and destroy this place. We would have gotten there with easy but suddenly a grenade exploded over our heads and it started to fall down on us. Smartie got hit the most and he was hurt bad. It broke my heart to see him like that and then something clicked inside me. I conjured a glass ball in my hands, similar to that one that broke on the floor but a bit different. I changed the trajectory from me towards Smartie and released it. I disappeared from my hands and then green aura surrounded Smartie. His wounds started to heal a little bit and he was ready to continue with us. The other person with white hair on our team decided to be the first one to enter the area while the blonde guy shoot an arrow to scan for Plushii or others. Even though we were behind the walls, we could see the silhouettes of people standing in the area. Despite them being already there, we decided to pursue this plan still and get our revenge. But Plushii is so strong and after our white-haired person tried to fight for the place, she got killed.
Plushii: Did you think it will be that easy? That I would let you win?
Meto: Tsk. She is crazy. That weapon of hers was strong and she can't use it all the time, but she knew that and she prepared those grenades too. I am sorry. I am not strong enough to stop her. My fire won't reach her. She...she wins!
I didn't want to give up that easily and I knew what I had to do. The green light that brought me back to life, I know it. I can use it too. I gather all my power and ran towards the dead body of our mate. I conjure a strong wall protecting me from the attacks of Plushii and her squad. Then I release my power and summon our friend back from the dead.
White-haired person: Thanks Sage. But guys...what the fuck are you actually doing? Can you stop narrating this game?
Me: Ah yeah sorry Jett. We were just having fun with it. Actually those people on the enemy team are our friends. Some of them. The Kayo and the Raze.
Jett: Yeah I noticed your conversation in the chat. Luckily it's not ranked and just a swiftplay.
Your basic instalock Jett person, getting angry if you start having fun and not sweating the game. But after seeing Plushii and Pumpa on the enemy team and getting into the same lobby as them, it was just a good opportunity not to have fun.
Me: So guys, thank you for coming to our Valorant collab stream and I hope you enjoyed it.
~ THE END ~
