"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cheer, Cheer, cheer. People killing each other is fun, yada, yada, yada." Those were the words Ballad was shooting out of his mouth when he just barely avoided a face-full of a fucking laser beam. He had no idea this guy had a damn heat gun. Which further provides proof that he should never underestimate an opponent. Ballad took a quick moment to look up towards the top of the Colosseum, seeing the crowd clapping and cheering their names. He was still astonished how so many people figured out his name so quickly. He hadn't really done anything.. except cause a scene at the Carnival. Maybe that was it. The other thing he didn't understand at all was why the hell did it look like they made the place look exactly like a damn battlefield? What is the point of that? In fact, why CELEBRATE these stupid wars in the first place? Are people really so stupid that they think the side they support is the right one? Oh sure, the Kingdom were the good guys. Why the flying fuck do you think they had deserters if they were so pitch perfect, huh?
Alright, snap out of it. Let's see if this guy is still there. He had fallen for the throw-weapon trick, and he was not about to fall for it again.
Sliding his head past the barrier once more, he suddenly jerked his head back as a red laser punched the dirt ground where his head had just been.
"This guy is pretty damn accurate, I'll give him that. If only I could better see what he was doing, but he's so damn far away."
Okay, focus. That guy has a gun that is probably dangerous, and he knows how to use it. What to do? Ballad looks around behind him, his heart sinking when he finds no other barricades behind him. Alright, so I'm essentially a sitting duck right here. Looks like my only option is to fire, go back into cover, than charge towards the nearest barricade. Looking around, he finds a barricade a good distance away, easily far enough to allow Adam another shot. Sighing, Ballad readies himself for his next move. Let's just hope this guy misses next.
Taking in a deep breath, he suddenly stands up from cover, pulling back the hammer of his revolver. In a total of four seconds, he fires off two more shots. In the middle of cocking for his second shot, Adam fires his weapon again, not missing this time. As Ballad falls back into cover, the laser grazes his left shoulder, causing him to let out a pained grunt. Annoyed, he shouts out a bunch of obscenities, masking out the grunts of pain from Adam, who had also taken a bullet to his right shoulder.
Behind the barricade, Adam was holding his left hand against his right shoulder, the shoulder bleeding a bit from the bullet grazing it. Shit, I hope I got him. Please God tell me I got him. Gripping his hidden weapon, he grits his teeth, raising his concealed rifle again, pointing at the barricade he saw the green man. At that moment, he saw the green man sprinting towards another barricade, one that faced his own, and was a whole lot closer. Can't let him reach it. Firing the rifle, he just barely manages to graze the man's foot as he passes behind the barricade.
Ballad lets out a grunt of pain as the red laser passes above his foot, leaving a slight burn where it passed. Moving behind the five-foot barricade, he tightens the grip of his revolver. Taking another peek outside the barricade, he manages to get a closer look at the opponent before moving his head back behind cover. He was wearing all red, which makes Ballad wonder how the hell the guy walks around without getting noticed. He might as well have a 'Please-shoot-me-in-the-face' sigh strapped all around his body. And he still had the piece of metal in his hands. He had to remove it as soon as he possibly could.
Keeping the left side of his body against the dusty brick wall of the barricade, he proceeds to taunt Adam, shouting "You are such an awful shot, you know that? Twice now you could've killed me. And TWICE you've failed! What does that say about your skill with a weapon?"
Ballad then goes quiet, listening. He wanted to see if it worked. If this guy was as.. occasionally temperamental as he was, than his words would at least piss him off. Make him do something irrational. Then we can get this over with so I don't have to listen to a cheering crowd for another hour or so.
