CHAPTER EIGHT

“Are you crazy?” Ben yelled as they all followed Grey onto the sky bridge he had built. They were at least five stories high already and not even close to the height of the build battle in front of him.

Grey started throwing down ramps to gain altitude. “Maybe?”

“Stop freaking out and shoot!” Tristan said. “We’re in range and they are focused on each other.”

“Fine!” Ben said as he pulled out his shotgun.

The players jumped around on their sky tower, and Grey was almost glad he was the one building because he was sure he’d miss every shot. But his squad mates took shots when they could, and their opponents definitely knew this battle was a three-way deal now.

Fire returned on them, and Grey had to throw up a few walls to protect them. He frantically connected their bridge to the structure of the other squads—that way they had something to jump onto if the floors got shot out from under them.

“Where are those sticky grenades?” Grey asked.

“Here!” Kiri said as she threw one as far as she could to the walls above them.

When it exploded, it blasted a hole that exposed the players above. Tristan took several shots, and one of the players fell to a crawling position.

“Throw more!” Grey insisted.

Kiri used all the sticky grenades she had, and soon there were openings everywhere. When they didn’t get immediately patched up, Grey realized something vital: The enemies were out of mats.

Which meant he and his squad had the upper hand if he could build well enough. He had just over four hundred wood left, and he began to build higher. While Grey’s squad didn’t have the high ground, their awkward positioning right below the enemy made it hard for them to take shots when there were still players up there to deal with.

Lorenzo eliminated Diana.

Gear spilled above them, so Grey knew that was local elimination. He saw an impulse grenade explode, and a player went flying off the mountainous tower.

Lorenzo didn’t stick the landing.

That “fall damage” elimination notification always seemed particularly embarrassing, but Grey also thought it was funny. There seemed to be two or three players left above them, so Grey built around to find a good angle on them.

Kiri eliminated Veejay by head shot.

“How do you do that?” Ben said. “Every time!”

“Not every time,” Kiri replied.

“Pushing up!” Grey announced as he began to use ramps. With two players left, it felt like the right time to gain the high ground. Surely the remaining enemies didn’t have full health after a drawn-out fight.

The storm was beginning to close in again, and they needed a breather before the next fights if they wanted to survive. Grey switched to a weapon the second he had built their ramp higher than their opponents, and he let off a shot as the one wearing a triceratops skin tried to hide.

You eliminated Anya.

“The other one is climbing down for cover,” Tristan announced.

Grey reacted instinctively by jumping down a couple levels to find the player.
