Storm 01 kept charging forward toward Rory's location. He looked at the map and only increased his speed. His eyes darted up to the map again to make sure Rory's signal was still on the map. For some reason, he didn't want any of his teammates to be eliminated, and since Rory wasn't responding to his messages, it only mean she is engaged in combat.
"Ada, can you hear me?" Storm 01 shouted into his comms. The device glitched before the red-haired girl on the other side of the call replied. [Loud and clear kid]
"Rory needs backup, and you are the closest to her location..." Before Storm 01 could complete his words, Rory's signal disappeared from his map; she had been eliminated.
[Yeah, I don't think we can do anything now,] Ada stated. [Don't stop now, we may be down a point, but we are still ahead of the game. Let's keep it that way]
Storm 01 felt a quick shock all through his body. He quickly turned back only for his face to be greeted with a fist. The punch threw him back a couple of steps. He managed to regain his balance just in time to put his hands up and block another punch the agent sent his way.
Storm 01 looked up at the agent. The agent wasn't wearing his helmet and he immediately recognized the silver ponytail and grey eyes, it was the Rain trooper, Cake Armi. "You?"
The agent pulled his hand back and rocketed it forward again with immense strength. Storm 01 was struck with shock as the attack sent him flying back. He crashed on the ground with a loud thud.
Cake didn't waste any time, he took out a saber and ran after Storm 01. Storm 01 quickly got up to his feet and parried the attack with his saber that emerged from the suit's sleeves. Storm 01 thrust his other hand forward but the agent grabbed it. Cake turned and flipped Storm 01 over his shoulder, slamming him on the ground. He thrust his saber forward at Storm 01's chest, but the said name quickly rolled away.
Storm 01 leaped from the ground and grabbed Cake's face with his hands, smashing him into the ground. Storm 01 dragged him through the ground before hurling him into a building.
Rain 01 flew back out with the turbo mechanics. He crashed his fist into Storm 01's face with a heavy punch that sent him flying back. The silver-haired man followed Storm 01 with a right jab that made dust rise from the ground. He threw his other hand forward to finish Storm 01 off but it got stopped midway by another force.
A Storm agent jumped out of the smoke with their hand already descending on Cake's face. Cake jumped backward just in time to dodge the attack, creating some space between them.
Storm 01 who was already on the ground and breathing heavily raised his head to look at the agent. He groaned in rage as he realized it was Ada. Just like the Rain trooper, she also didn't have her helmet on.
"I thought you'd be eliminated by now, Storm 01," Ada teased as she pulled out a dagger.
Storm 01 managed to get to his feet. His suit condition was low and it was difficult for him to move. "Stay out of this Ada, I can finish this on my own," he claimed before walking forward.
Ada shook her head in disapproval. "In case you haven't noticed, there's only two of us left... Well three, the other guy went off to 'get up a high ground'" she revealed.
Storm 01 looked up at the map to confirm what she said and Ada was right. Sox signal had disappeared from the map and Erins' was far away from where he was.
"Your suit is already low and I bet a punch will get you eliminated." She turned back to face Rain 01. "I also don't wanna lose. So just sit back and watch." Storm 01 sighed and sat back down. "I'll give you two minutes before I interfere."
Ada smiled, her helmet covering her face as she jumped a few times in the same position before charging at Cake. Cake also summoned his helmet before he charged forward. He threw a left hook at Ada but she quickly ducked and hits him with an uppercut, making him stagger backward. He tried catching her with a left hook, but again, she dodges. Ada skillfully turned around Cake Armi. Now behind him, she wrapped her hands around his belly and picked him off the ground, throwing him over her shoulder, but instead of hitting the ground, Rain 01 landed on his four.
The two were perfectly matched. They kept launching attacks at each other with each countering the other's attack. Cake held Ada by the neck and drives her to the ground. Ada grabbed his collar and pulled him to the ground too. She climbed over him and tried to stab her dagger into his face but he moved his head out of harm's way. She then used the under of the dagger to stomp his face.
Rain 01 turned her around, now pinning Ada to the ground. He pulled out his saber and raised it high, but it got knocked out of his hand by an unknown source.
"Erins," the Stormtrooper mumbled under her helmet. She quickly seized the opportunity and tried to slash her dagger through Cake's neck but he immediately pulled back and took out a grenade. Erins shot the grenade, causing it to explode while still in his hands.
Ada kicked him back and threw her dagger at him. She followed with a few shots from her gun. "Just stay down you bastard!" She barked.
Cake tried to fight back but his attempts were cut short by Erins' shot. Storm 01 appeared behind Cake and knocked him back towards Ada who jumped and stomp his face, sending him back to Storm 01.
The Rain trooper managed to throw a punch at Storm 01. Storm 01 waited for Cake's fist to reach close before tilting his head to dodge the attack, giving Ada the chance to land the final jab from behind that eliminated Rain 01.
The duo stood over Rain 01's body, their chest dancing up and down. Ada removed the mask and turned to Storm 01. "See? We make a pretty great team," she said, extending her hand for a first bump.
Storm 01 stared at her hand before looking up at her face. "We wouldn't have done it if not for Erins' help."
"I mean, he had his part, but you and I? We were..." BANG! BANG! Her words trailed off and Ada fell to the ground motionless. Her signal also disappeared from the map, she had been eliminated.
Storm 01 turned and noticed the last member of the Rain Squad, Jesselyn Tweedy. She takes a step backward, dodging a shot from Erins. She pointed at the direction the shot came from with her rifle and shot thrice.
Storm 01 looked up at the map, Erins' signal was gone. They were now the only two left. Jesselyn took off her helmet, she had a smile lingering on her lips. "Hey."
"Hey yourself, that was a good shot."
"Thanks." She puts the rifle away and made her battle stance. "Remember what you said when we were in that room?" She questioned.
Storm 01 stopped to think back to the moment. "Which of them? I said a lot of things that day."
"That you were going to emerge victorious if we meet," Jesselyn took him down memory lane.
"Not fair. I'm down to 18%," he revealed. "I'm sure you avoided me so that when we meet your chances of winning will be higher."
"Are you already quitting?"
"I didn't say that..."
The two let out a battle cry and launched at each other at full speed. Neither of them held anything back.
