Onwards we go

"What a disgrace!" Flare stood up from his PC and shouted while going up to his academy team, "You given no respect to your opponents and went for all DPS, you should take any game seriously!". The players were all massively disappointed by their performance and did not dare to look Flare in the face. While Flare was giving his team a lecture, Joseph took the time to go to the restroom. "This should be enough right?" Ellie looked over to Oliver and said. "There are still a few more rounds to go, lets see how it will go against a team that is fully serious." Oliver replied back while grinning.

A dreadful face surfaced as she stated : "Excuse me as well, I have to go to the restroom too." Ellie displeased with the continuation of the game immediately stomped out to the restroom situated beside the lift. Danny in contrast, was elated to have beaten an academy team, even though it was only one round.

The male restroom did not have great lighting conditions, it was grim and dark. In his isolation, he took out a pill bottle with a solemn expression. Joseph opened it, a 'pop' sound momentarily disrupted the haunting silence, he reached out with his hands and consumed a pill. He walked out, took a plastic cup and filled it up with water from a water dispenser before drinking it all in one shot. "Hey!" Ellie called out as she witnessed Joseph by the water dispenser. Joseph was spooked by her sudden presence and responded : "Your here too? At least make some noise before you scare me like that." "Sorry! I was just on my way to the restroom." Ellie replied apologetically. Joseph went back to the testing room after this exchange while Ellie was looking at him suspicously.

Very soon, the second round started, except this time Flare swapped roles with Oliver and he is now the main DPS while Oliver is the Support. The map is now 'Station', it was a train graveyard with many cargos. The map is relatively open with areas sprawling with train rails in horrible condition.

Joseph -> Burster(10 point) + Pop Shield (10 point)

Oliver -> Solofire(5 point) + Health Buff (10 point) + Smoke Grenade (3 point)

"The plan here is simple, we move together as one through the area, as soon as they engage us , Joseph will pop his shield dome accompanied by smokes and we will challenge them individually by spreading out." Ellie informed the team of her plans to the surprise of her teammates. Danny objected : "This is too reliant on skill, we definitely will lose out to them." Ellie gave a reassured look and said : "We need not win every round right?"

"Start!" The game announced as the team spawned together a far distance away from the halfway line and proceeded to move together as a unit. Flare and Ellie went left and right respectively, taking a high ground when opportunity presents itself and scanned around their surroundings. Joseph was at the center of their formation, he moved along the terrain beside Danny and Oliver as they examined the surrounding terrain carefully. In this manner, they advanced closer to halfway line. Oliver pre-emptively casted a Health Buff on Danny that lasts for 3 minutes 30 seconds as they got closer in anticipation of a fight. Ellie explained to the team beforehand that she did not trust Joseph's consistency and wanted the buff to go to Danny instead.

In a split second, their advance would be stopped by a piercing sound coming from the top of a cargo, a proned player fired at Joseph and Joseph quickly activated his Pop Shield, this shield created a big dome around the player and stopped the bullet from hitting him. "Watch out! Its an Arsene! A single-fire rifle that can be fatal when struck through the head!" Ellie reminded the team through the radio. The biggest advantage of using the Pop Shield is that any bullets fired from within can escape the dome and be used to hit the opponent. Danny retaliated with a spray of bullets from Fiery ace inside while flanking the player from the right side, planning to escape the dome and kill his opponent. Oliver as instructed threw his smoke grenade at the ground while Joseph proceeded to burst fire from with the Burster. Burster was a gun recommended to Joseph as he has shown the team that he could one-tap and burst fire pretty well but was horrendous at spraying. Burster is a burst-fire rifle that could be switched to a single-fire mode as well if need be and thus was perfectly suited for Joseph currently.

While converging at the now exposed Mateo who fired at Joseph, two other player fired at the dome shield from both the left and right side randomly through the smoke. The Pop Shield could only last for so long as it finally broke as Joseph and Oliver ran to the left side of the cargo, intending to kill off Mateo from both side with Danny. Mateo scoffed at their attempt to finish him and proceeded to grapple to the roof, he latched onto the arches and flew up onto the metal belt. He relentlessly fired randomly through the smoke hoping to hit one of them. "AHH!" Danny shouted as he was hit by a stray bullet passing through the smoke. Joseph and Oliver were not spared by the bullets either as they all came from a three-way attack setup by the academy team. Danny quickly drank his potion through all the chaos and used it all while Joseph and Oliver deciding that they could no longer hide in smoke ran out and exposed themselves behind the cargo. "Get them! And be mindful of the guy still in the smoke!" Mateo ordered as he continued to fire from the heavens at Joseph and Oliver.

Flare arrived at the scene at this critical moment, he grappled onto a nearby wall and flew onto the top of the arches and sprayed at Mateo who was taken aback by this sudden development. Joseph and Oliver made use of this moment to escape up ahead to a train graveyard while Flare engaged with Mateo. In this fury of bullets , Flare could not miss and dealt more damage to Mateo in a 1v1 duel. Mateo decided to jump down into the smoke after realizing this fact and got healed by their support player behind him. "Ware, tell Alex to chase after Joseph and Oliver." Alex was their sentinel player who was awaiting instructions from Mateo nearby to expose himself and engage with the enemy. Ware their support player brought along a radio that allowed him to communicate with him across a long distance. He ordered Alex to do so and attack Joseph and Oliver.

Carlos and their tank Loren found Danny by navigating through the smoke and Danny could no longer escape their wrath. Danny could only last a few seconds because of the heavy armor and the buff from Oliver. In the midst of it all, Danny landed a couple of hits using his Hoper while strafing left and right. At last, "Danny killed by Carlos" was announced by the game as he was hit by too many bullets.

"Ellie? Where is she?" Danny thought as he wondered why he could not see her anywhere. Almost to answer Danny's question, Ellie came bursting forth from behind the both of them and swung her Stinger at the both of them. The horizontal arc that the Stinger was swung hit both Carlos and Loren in the crossfire. Since swords did not have a range advantage, they dealt more damage when hit and thus lowered both players health significantly. She lunged at Carlos after the swing and stabbed Carlos before being shot by Mateo who dived across the pavement while firing at her. Flare who was still on the roof, supported her by returning fire onto Mateo. This was to no avail as Ellie was taken down quickly by a shotgun from Loren along with the damage taken from Mateo.

"Carlos Killed by Ellie" , "Ellie killed by Loren" came in rapid succession as the announcer announced their deaths. Loren took out his plasma shield immediately to cover Mateo while he drank his health potion under the hellfire unleashed by Flare. Ware used up his minor health regeneration buff on Mateo and stood casually behind Loren's shield. Flare was at a disadvantage here, being in a 1v3 situation, yet he dared to challenge them with aggression oozing out of his character. He finally reloaded his Taker while moving towards Joseph and Oliver. "Now! Kill him!" Mateo ordered. Flare's back was turned against them while he was running towards Joseph and Oliver. Mateo, Ware and Loren could not let go of this opportunity and fired at Flare.

Flare performed a series of manoeuvre using RAS to tilt his body in favourable ways, he watched on as multiple bullets flew by him and used his grappling hook to eventually leave them behind in the dust. "Hurry! We must support Alex!" Mateo ordered once again.

Joseph and Oliver ran through the train graveyard, eventually stopping at a corner with decent cover. They hid there with no knowledge of the present situation except for the killfeed informing them of Ellie's and Danny's Death. "This is really bad, we can't do anything right now!" Oliver spoke with urgency. "We could bring it to overtime if we get it to a 3v3 but unfortunately its unlikely against them." Oliver told Joseph. To win a round in 'All Fight', in 6 minutes you have to kill off as much opponents as possible and win by numbers advantage or in the case where there are equal number of opponents, it goes into overtime where players have 1 minute to win the round. In overtime, whoever has the most player standing or the most damage dealt in the case of equal number of player standing wins the round. This damage does not count damage done to shields.
