sCI-fI

The year was 2111, and I was going nowhere in life. The economy was horrible; a biological war has broken out. As thousands fled for cover from the airborne disease only few could get away. This was a world where gamers ruled everything. Gamers where the most important thing to society now because it was so technological that people couldn’t comprhend the technology they were trying to handle. We all knew this day was coming where technology would rule the world and how it works. Now that it’s happened it all comes down to this. The world ending and only one way to save it… By going into the system and defeating the main system itself. Researchers and scientists took the best 100 GAMERS in the world and put them to the ultimate test.
Luckily I was one of the ones chosen. I didn’t agree to do it because I liked gaming. I agreed to do it to save the world, you see I was once the best gamer in the world. I had broken thousands of high scores and set record breaking times that no one could beat. Some would say I was a hacker others would say I use mods but I knew the truth, and that’s all that mattered. The other 99 GAMERS and I were invited into the city arena where we sat looking at big screens scattered in different corners of the place. Each screen had a certain type of games ranging from FPS, to MMORPG.
Each person had a specific type of game they were good at as for me I was equally skilled in each type. The one I liked the most was MMORPG. Anyways all of us GAMERS were rounded up into the arena and seated in the seats. As we sat there we watched as the researchers and scientists took the stage and explained to us why we were here. We are here because we’re the best GAMERS out there and we need to help save society from the technological advances taking over.  The scientists explained to us what we would be going through.
 A virtual reality helmet that was synced up to all the other helmets of the GAMERS. Together we would all go through different types of games and have to win 3 battles in each to get to the main area in which the technology was cloning itself and spreading harm to our outside world. They explained very little because there wasn’t much time. They assigned each GAMER to a seat with their own helmet. We all got into our seats and placed the helmets on top of our heads. It was dark at first but then the researchers in the control room flipped the switch which dimmed the lights in the arena and triggered the helmet to turn on. A shock was sent to our heads which put us into the other world.  As soon as the GAMERS entered the virtual world we all didn’t know what to expect. We knew that there was going to be a different variety of games in which we had to win 2 battles in each.
 Just as we all starred we heard a voice coming from above us. Was it a virtual god? No it was the same voice we heard in the arena. The scientist could communicate with us in the other world. He explained that instead of going through a variety of games we would only go through 1 type and only have to battle one major battle. He also explained that the world we were in right now is a FPS game. He directed us on where to get the weapons and armor we needed from the armory upstairs. We all rushed upstairs to check out what they had. We all stopped in shock of all the wide varieties of weaponry and armor they had. There were tanks, snipers, incendiary grenades and much more.
We all suited up in armor and choose two main weapons of our choice, followed by a couple grenades and extra mags. I chose to stick with my favorite combo in any FPS game I used to play, which was the Sniper rifle and an Assault Rifle for quick burst action. As we all completed getting our inventory together the voice popped back up “Now that you have your weaponry and armor, the battle begins…. Now!”. “What? How do we know what to do? Are we attacking or defending?” a man next to me yelled.
Just then the place shook. There was a huge explosion down the hall from us. *Click Click* was all you heard as every GAMER in the room loaded their weapon and got ready to move out. Just then a map popped up in front of us showing us our objective was to protect the goods in the room next to us for about 10 mins. And then advance onto the enemy ship and take it over. Sounded easy enough we thought. We all got in squads of 5 and guarded a certain area.
My squad was on the front line watching down the hall to where the explosion came from. I had 3 men down below me all looking down the hall while I went above them and set up my sniping position. The last man just kind of watched my back to make sure I was good on ammo. He claimed he wasn’t too good at FPS so I figured I’d give him an easy job. As we sat there guarding the hallway we wondered if anything was going to come. We sat there for about 2 minutes and thought that it was pointless.
 I signaled one of the 3 down low to go check it out as the other two protected him. They got up and quickly walked down the hall way to check out the explosion. As they reached the breach in the wall they inspected it and gave a thumbs up saying it was clear. I waved them the signal to come back. “How you doing back their Private?” I asked back to the guy behind me. No reply. I looked back and there I saw a monster holding him, covering his mouth with what seemed to be a type of sword against his throat. I quickly whipped out my assault rifle and took aim at the creature. He hissed at me and sliced the private’s neck and watched him drop to the ground.
 *BANG BANG* I quickly fired two shots into the creatures head as he tried to quickly run. As the creature laid their next to the private I inspected him very carefully. He was odd looking with his small arms and freakishly large legs, as  I sat there inspecting him I heard more shots coming from the room in which we were to protect. I quickly signaled my squad and told them to go to the room and help I’ll stay guard and watch the halls. They rushed into the room quickly shooting the enemy target they spotted. I turned back and watched the hall, looking threw my scope. I wondered how they got past without me seeing. Just then as I was looking through my scope I saw a thin line running across. I quickly shot at it.
*Bang* dropped another one of those creatures as blood dripped from his chest. Just then I called in saying they can turn invisible so make sure you guys have 360 coverage in there otherwise they will sneak up on you.
