BEGIN

Omnicyde entered the arena and immediately shot for a rooftop next to him, firing his scout drone as he did so. It took off into the sky and projected a birds-eye view of the snowy streets of the Sprawl into his retina. So far, nothing. There wasn’t much light to see by, so Omnicyde opted for his submachine gun instead of his sniper rifle; he slammed a clip into the top of his P-90 and shouldered it, jumping to the next rooftop looking for targets.

Tobias materialized inside a half-demolished apartment building. Quick as a cat, he slid a pair of nickel-plated Desert Eagle pistols from his holsters and jumped to the street below, ducking behind a car; their entrance points were randomly generated, and it was generally a bad idea to stand still for long lest others enter the arena next to them. He smiled coldly as he activated his active camouflage, blending into the surrounding debris and moving on through the arena.

Kurk racked his shotgun and bent his knees slowly, preparing to move; the three-quarters inch armor plating he wore on his arms, legs, torso, and head made trotting difficult and running impossible. With his 8-guage shotgun, however, and a shoulder mounted pulse-laser cannon, he wouldn’t have to. He thudded his way up the street, his eyes moving left and right behind his mirrored lens; he would wait for the others to find him. He had just begun to make a turn when something slammed into him from behind, making him skip forward a little bit.

Rhysode scrambled to reload his gauss rifle. The impact of the high-energy round had done nothing but piss Kurk off, and he could feel the rage as the armored behemoth turned to face him. Rhysode ducked just in time; scores of buckshot tore a hole through the wall he’d been hiding behind. He fired his boosters and shot across the street, narrowly dodging the red-hot beam that sliced through the air behind him. He twisted in mid-air and fired his rifle again; the bullet hit Kurk in the chest and dissipated, transforming into a blue cloud of energy.

Omnicyde snapped his head around and ran for the source of the gunfire, P-90 across his chest as he skidded around the corner and saw Kurk facing away from him. The armored titan fired again, his shotgun blowing the corner off of a brick building; one of the other combatants scrambled away from him. Omnicyde took the opportunity to raise his rifle and squeeze the trigger. An extended burst caught Kurk in the back, and he turned to the new threat. Omnicyde jerked his head back as the laser flew past, some of his hair sizzling from the heat.
Something crunched next to him. Omnicyde glanced to his left and saw something moving through the snow; it swirled around Tobias, his camouflage making him invisible but not penetrable. Bullets pinged off the building next to Omnicyde’s head as he rolled forward, firing his clip at the invisible mass in front of him. Tobias roared as a bullet hit his shoulder and his camouflage failed.

Kurk stomped around the corner to see Omnicyde and Tobias bounce around in the snow in front of him. He smirked and raised his shotgun, hoping to kill two birds with one stone. His smile vanished as a gauss rifle bullet hit the snow between the two of them, making them both throw themselves back out of Kurk’s view. He snarled as he fired the shotgun at the window he’d seen the round come from, trying to kill the pesky little Hunter. He missed, and another gauss round hit him in the shoulder. He started firing the shotgun manically, trying to score a hit, while a dozen more gauss round flew by him.

Tobias chucked a grenade at Omnicyde from across the street, not wanting to risk running across the firefight going on between Rhysode and Kurk. Unfortunately, the grenade was hit by a piece of buckshot and detonated mid-flight, lighting the street up like the sun for a split second. He grimaced and ducked as Omnicyde emptied his clip in Tobias’ direction, puncturing the walls behind him with bullets and sending splinters flying.
Tobias returned the favor, squeezing his pistols dry as he unloaded on Omnicyde’s position; he watched the Maverick retreat to a different window in his building, while Tobias was somewhat stuck behind a demolished car. He quickly reloaded and opened fire again on Omnicyde’s position.
