The trolly was the size of a regular school bus but a little bit wider and longer, not by much. Everyone was sitting in assigned seats waiting for the moment they were allowed to run and jump out of the designated doors on the sides of the trolly. Chess’s fingers were itching to get ahold of a gun. He was going to take this as chill as he could, but it was still a match. To him, this still counted.

Whatever was happening with Damon and his dad, he couldn’t change. He had no control over that. However, he had control on the battlefield if he knew how to take it. He cared, and he didn’t care, more so he was indifferent to what Damon had going on. It wasn’t like he couldn’t sympathize, but his feelings came first in this situation. Until he could best Damon in a Royale, he could start putting the past fully behind him.

Right now was the present. And right now was the game. Chess could feel the wind on his scalp as the breeze rolled in. The scent of fresh rain and clouds in the air. It was a long way from the oil and gasoline he could smell on the C-130 flying over Santa Catalina. This smelled clean, whimsical. It didn’t feel like Chess was about to drop down and shoot people; he felt like he was taking a hike somewhere magical.

With the bump of turbulence on the trolly, and the wind knocking the car back and forth, some people expressed worry but were promptly told that the trolly runs these cables every day without fail. It was a little scary, but so was jumping out of a plane.

“Welcome to the Kansas City Temporal Arena noon games; we will be defending in about thirty seconds; if you could double check the straps on your parachutes and do one more locker of your person before departing the trolly, that would be much appreciated. Again, this is the Kansas City Temporal Arena, Noon Game. Thank you, and good luck!”

The trolly conductor at the front put the radio speaker back and kept the trolly going at a calm pace. It was going to feel weird to fall out of a listing trolly that was going, at most, five miles an hour on ropes, but he would do it. Eventually, a buzzer sounded, the conductor’s arm shot out and made a ‘get off’ motion egging the players to jump out, and people were jumping. One by one, people were pushing past others to get to the doors first and fall out of the wide-open trolly doors to the ground below. Chess was one of them.

When Damon noticed Chess was pushing to the front to fall out of the trolly, he pushed his way to the front, almost catching hands with an eager teammate who was hoping to be next. He watched as Chess fell out of the trolly to the ground below, let the teammate go first, and then he jumped out, doing a slow backflip to Earth.
