Part 6

Basilisk stared up into the sun in a complete haze. He was on the edge of consciousness by the time Rocky and Toby walked over.
"I wonder how many people saw that" Rocky laughed running up to Basilisk. "We finally beat you're a**" He chastised Basilisks helmet.
Rocky was feeling overpowered and with this feeling of so much power it went straight to his head. With this amount of power, logic and maturity are thrown out the window. Right now it's all about who's top dog, who has the most pride. So, in this day and age in the world of video games what better way to show your dominance than by tea bagging?
Toby laughed and shook his head, "Come on man. He's gunna be pissed off."
Rocky was squatting down right above Basilisk helmet laughing. Basilisk was barely aware of this all he knew was that the sun was gone. Rocky felt like king of the playing field, his point level did go way up after killing Basilisk. Basilisk was regaining full consciousness realizing what was happening.
"Wh-what the actual ********." Basilisk punched as hard as he could right into Rocky's groin. There is a thin section between the leg armor and the hip armor that isn't armored at all. Basilisks punch was at such a speed and angle he hit the right spot.
"********" Rocky held onto himself and fell over onto his side curling up into a fetal position. Toby winced feeling the pain.
Basilisk stood up quickly and cleared his throat trying to keep his composure. Toby held onto his missile launcher prepared in case Basilisk attacked. "******** you, you stupid b*****d." Rocky groaned. Basilisk folded his arms smirking under his mask.
"How did you two know of the gold player items? I thought crybaby here lost his gold membership"
Rocky groaned another "******** you" as Toby explained,
"We know people."
Basilisk nodded and picked up his rifle. His suit had hit zero after that fiasco and started to walk towards the gate. Toby started to lower his launcher a bit confused.
"Wait, you aren't mad?"
Basilisk stopped and looked back. "Well, nah not really. I mean I'm mad about the tea bagging but as you can see Stone is rolling on the floor in pain right now" He laughed. "The cat trick caught me by surprise as well as the missiles. So congratulations on beating the unbeatable Basilisk. I'll just have to get you back next time" He smirked. He began to walk away again when suddenly his suit made a beeping sound and went to full health. Same thing happened to Toby's and Rocky's suit.
"The hell is going on?" Toby looked around. No Rahu in sight. All of the players stopped fighting for a moment. This only happened when the game is about to close for the night, but it isn't even noon yet. Rocky started to pick himself up as the announcer came on speaker.
"We are experiencing some technical difficulties please hold." All of the players waited, some took off their helmets and took a break. Just a few seconds later the announcer came back. "No one leave the arena please stay hold." Some of the players waited near the gate. They seemed to be trying to leave. A sudden loud clang could be heard from inside the main building.
"Everyone, keep you're helmets on. I will notify you when you are safe to do otherwise." People were starting to get nervous. Majority of people put their helmets back on but others just ignored the announcement. About ten minutes went by until another announcement.
This time a different voice went on the intercom. "Everyone, I-I.. I'm the only one left here. Everyone else left." It sounded like a younger mans voice, he seemed out of breath, "All the staff had fled from the premises. There's to many of them for you all to get out of here safely. It's the Rahu. S-so you all need to stay put. Keep you're helmets on. You need to keep your helmets on. Your suit will keep you safe. I'm setting all of your suits to full health so that they will keep working no matter what. There is a food supply under the bridge past the clearing. Keep the main gate closed and you should be sa-" The sound of a creaky metal door swinging open sounded from the intercom. "W-we mean no harm. Do not attack. Get ou-!" The young man's pleas were cut off as he started screaming.
Many of the players were definitely freaking out now. Some of them ran into buildings as others huddled together. Others were calling this a prank. His screams were silenced with the sound of gunshot.
"..********." Basilisk started to back away accidentally bumping into Rocky who kinda pushed Basilisk out of the way. "I need- we need to get out."
"Ay, calm down it's probably just some sick joke." Rocky yawned. Toby held up his missile launcher again. "Aw not you too. I thought Basilisk was the gullible one."
"Something doesn't feel right." Toby gulped.
Another loud clang came from the building. Then another loud clang hit the gate. People were backing away from the gate. Everyone was freaking out and running around. Another voice came onto the intercom. This voice sounded more like a snake if anything, "Yes, stay put."
Everyone was hoping this was a sick joke. Some of the players noticed Basilisk. Basilisk was of course the most popular player in the range, he was the top player, the coolest person there.
A crowd of players ran up to Basilisk.
"B-Basilisk! What do we do?"
"Is this a joke?"
"You have a plan right?"
Basilisk was trying not to hyperventilate. "Uh-uhm. I.. Don't know" he cleared his throat. Suddenly an ear shattering bang came from the giant gate. A random girl ran up and hugged onto Basilisk. "Wh-what if what the announcer said was true? You're the one with the best strategies, what do we do?"
Basilisk pulled himself away from the girl. "E-everyone just calm down.. Give me a minute" he was stuttering as he turned away from the crowd and walked away.
"We don't have a minute!"
"They could break down the gate in any second!"
"Ay, give the guy some space to think." Rocky stood in front of the crowd.
Toby walked over to Basilisk who stood staring at the bridge that apparently had food under it. Basilisk was death gripping his gun terrified of what's going to happen next. Toby stood near him, for the first time realizing how much shorter Basilisk was than him. Basilisk began to shake making himself appear even more fragile. But this seemed pretty out of character for the bad a** Basilisk who has no mercy (except for kitties) and kicks all the butts.
"Basilisk?" Toby said quietly and slowly. "Are you.. alright?" Basilisk looked over at Toby then back at the bridge and suddenly stopped shaking.
"No. But I'm not going to die staring at this bridge." Basilisk turned back around and stood up to the crowd. Toby followed standing behind him. "Alright I have a plan. All of you on the left starting from you" He pointed at a player, "you all take the first, second, and fifth buildings. All of you to my right starting here will take the fourth and third buildings. The rest of you take the clearing. Everyone stay back at least five road blocks from the gate. This is not like the game, no one is going to run up there screaming Leroy Jenkins unless you have a death wish. Those of you with snipers stay at the tops of the buildings, rocket launchers and missile launchers stay near the second and first levels. Now go, and stay alert." Everyone ran to where they were instructed.
One last bang against the big metal gates and the Rahu were in.
