1 ;; ON THE BATTLEFIELD

A phight was occuring, on SFOTH. It was a capture the point, everyone brawled and huddled in the middle, but a phighter strayed behind, up on the bridges. Hyperlaser slung his gun over his shoulder, looking at the chaos, he lowered his rifle, tracing his finger down the gun. The antenna of his helmet quivered as he held the gun up to aim. The gun charged up as he tugged at the trigger, it whirred loudly as it prepared to shoot a ray out. Hyper inhaled and held the gun up, adjusting how it was aiming, tracking a phighter. The ray whizzed out the gun, the power of the shot knocking Hyperlaser off balance slightly. It hit Banhammer, who was swinging his hammer around aimlessly, wacking anyone who appeared in his path. Smoke puffed out the gun slightly after it shot. He smiled under his mask, shuffling the gun as he tracked another phighter. The gun chirped and whirred as a blue ray rushed out the gun, it missed and Hyper hissed slightly under his breath, expecting that to hit. He raised his gun, watching everyone phight and run around the point. There was one, two, three... Eight phighters on the point? There was usually nine, as he avoided straying into battle. He brushed it off, shaking his head. He looked around for the missing phighter, but he never spotted them, as if they were playing hide and seek with him. He grunted and slowly raised his gun, and he was about to pull the trigger, letting another shot escape but... Something wrapped around his waist, he looked down as he got pulled.

Hyper stared at the phighter who had pulled him, raising his gun to meet them. The phighter, who was significantly larger then him raised a katana up. He stepped back, the cramped space making it hard to raise his gun up. Both phighters just stared at each other. Hyper was waiting for the perfect opportunity... Just watching. He blinked, stepping back. This felt awkward, no-one was doing anything. Hyperlaser lowered his gun and the phighter did the same, lowering their katana.
"Go now." The phighter chirped as Hyper turned away and ran off, back to his spot. He huffed, catching his breath. What was that about? Eh, oh well! They went back to the battle, Hyper watched the phighter, Katana run back into phighting. Hyper raised his gun and continued shooting aimlessly into the point, hoping his team would win.

"I'll see you in hell." Hyper mumbled as he prepared to do his phinisher. He fiddled with his gun, it charged up, taking longer than usual. It roared as it charged up, a ray shot out, the gun whirred and buzzing. Hyper slid back from the force, watching the chaos ensue. He hit his target, the gun gained another shot! He smiled and charged it up again, repeating the same process. He aimed, prepared to shoot. But he pulled his gun away, it barely hitting a stray Rocket who was running around. He huffed, staring at his original target, who was focussed on reclaiming the point. He blinked, wondering why did he even do that. He glanced at where the Rocket was, and they were no longer there. He shook his head, biting his lip. He continued phighting as the clock ticked down.

"GAME OVER!!! Oh red team wins btw." A voice boomed as everyone stopped phighting, lowering their respective weapons. Hyper slung his over his shoulder as everyone was transported back.

Back in crossroads, it was the same as usual. Some of the phighters from the most recent phight lingered around, others were leaving the centre, walking back to their homes, or factions. Hyper lingered around the centre, the antenna of his helmet twitched as he sensed someone approaching him, he whizzed around glancing at who was behind him. It was the same phighter - Katana - from earlier. He towered over Hyperlaser, who craned his neck to look up at him.
"Good work during the Phight. Although you lost, you fought well." Katana said, looking down at the much shorter phighter infront of him. Hyper looked away, folding his arms.
"Thanks. Don't you have others to appreciate?" Hyper said, looking back at Katana. Hyper tilted his head as he waited for a response.
"I do. I just like letting the opponents know they did well" The taller phighter replied, before turning away and walking off, to regroup with others from his faction. Hyper watching this, recognising a few of the phighters who scrambled up to him. Hyperlaser turned away, facing Blackrocks tunnels as someone ran up to his side. Subspace slid infront of Hyperlaser, stopping him from moving forwards.
"HYPER!!! Did you see me during that Phight?" Subspace put his hands on his hips, smilimg under his mask as he leaned back. Biograft whizzed up to Subspaces side, standing by him. Subspace put a hand on Biografts head, as he buzzed in happiness.
"....Yeah, sure." Hyperlaser lazily replied, glancing down the Blackrock bridge. Subspace seemed unhappy with this but didnt answer, or do anything.
"Okay!! Come now." Subspace chirped as he walked towards Blackrock, Hyperlaser and Biograft following behind him.

They continued down the path, until they arrived at the housing in Blackrock. The pink phighter rushed ahead, opening the door to their apartment complex, he held the door open for Biograft, letting it close on Hyperlaser. He groamed and pulled the door open, he sped up to catch up to Subspace, who was at their apartments. Subspace slipped into his apartment, Biograft following him. No surprise they share a room. Hyper lazily opened the door across of Subspaces room and slid in, closing the door quickly behind himself. He locked the door and stepped into his room, flopping onto his bed. Hyper pulled his phone from the drawer next to his bed and scrolled on his phone, bored. He thought of what to do next.

Hyperlaser set an alarm on his phone, sliding it down on the drawers next to the bed. He laid down, sliding off his helmet, placing it on the floor, so he could rest properly, and comfortably at least. He stayed up for about 30 minutes before his eyes slipped shut and he fell asleep.
