Chapter 12：Episode 11 - Siege pt. 3 (1/2)
–– PURPLE TEAM POV ––
– IS EVERYONE READY? —Regina's voice resounded all around the coliseum—.
– You don't have to scream, Regina… —commented Dominik—.
The Purple Team was outside of their warehouse, stretching for the match that was coming. Regina was the leader of said team. She was a person with power, both monetary and physical. She was part of Gaeva's richest family.
– Well, if I don't scream you will all stay like fools on the floor doing nothing. We can't lose! Or do you all want to die, perhaps?
– Down, beast. We won't lose. —said Luke—.
– Uhuh, how are you so sure if you're all doing absolutely nothing? —she said, putting her hands on her hip—.
– Ha, just trust me.
Luke got up and walked away. Luke always had a mysterious aura around him. Sometimes he would go out and come back hours later, with a hard to read expression. No one knew what Luke was doing in that time.
– He left again… tch. The match is going to start in a few hours, and no one is getting ready! Everything is a disaster!
– Regina, calm down… we won't lose… we've been training everyday at every hour… can't we rest for a few hours?
– No, Agatha! We should be always training! If not, they will destroy us like worms.
– We'll go to quickly eat something, alright? We'll come back.
And so, both made their way to the cafeteria, to look for the basket pertaining to their team. Regina looked at them angrily.
– Ugh!! Why does no one listen to me!! If we continue like this we will die!! —she said in a little tantrum—.
– Don't worry, Regina. Trust in us. We've trained a lot, I'm sure we can win.
–– YELLOW TEAM POV ––
– Alright, girls. Are you ready? We can't lose.
– Ready I am, Cap! —said Katerine, lifting her hard to her forehead, imitating the military hand salute—.
– Ale, don't worry about me, I can defeat all of them alone. —said Athena, stretching and moving every part of her body—.
– That's not the idea… but I trust in all of you, we've training enough.
Alessandro noticed that someone was missing.
– Hal is nor here again?
– Nop. She must be with Ray.
– Can you look for her, Jessica?
Jessica sighed. She made her way to Orange Team's warehouse. According to Alessandro's information, they must be behind said place. There, she found herself in an awkward situation.
– J-Jessica!
– …Hal, we'll wait for you in front of the warehouse.
Hal and Ray's faces were completely red like tomatoes. Jessica massaged her temples with her fingers, trying to erase that image that was now imprinted in her head.
Hal arrived minutes later, still with her face completely red. In that moment, the robotic voice spoke.
”Yellow and Purple teams, please go to the coliseum. I repeat: Yellow and Purple teams, please go to the coliseum”.
The moment has come. Alessandro looked at the girls and nodded, letting them know that he trusted in them and was sure they were going to win, that he didn't have to worry about anything. The girls did the same.
Once in front of their pods, they looked at each other again.
– We'll win, girls.
Said Alessandro, trying to smile. But he couldn't fake it for much longer. In the moment she saw all the girls were on their pods, his smile banished. He was really scared, but wanted to look strong in front of them. He couldn't let others see his insecurities. He sighed and went inside his pod. He felt his hands being trapped, and then, a deep sleep.
–– PURPLE TEAM POV ––
Everyone in the Purple Team woke up at the same time. Luke took the sword, Regina and Agatha the guns, Dominik the combination of sword and shield, and Raphael took the revolver. Before going out, Luke decided to say something.
– You know that, we trained for so long… but we never planned a strategy, right?
Regina's face became completely red. She was embarrassed and furious at the same time.
– Wh-who needs strategies! We just need to capture the bases!
