"Hey John, wake up!"

I was in John's room trying to wake him up. I had great news that probably everyone knew about already. In fact, I was being sarcastic.

"What did you want Tony?" He moaned back.

"It's the last level of the Tower!" I told him.

"Yeah, right. That's nothing to be excited about."

"I know that." I replied in a deadish tone.

We were finally here, the end. We had lots of preparations to do, as this was it, the last chance to save everyone in this game. We never really recorded much on data, but we still remember the times we had.

The Gold cutoff was almost here, and we had to win. Otherwise everyone in Gold would be killed. We couldn't let that happen, not after we've gotten this far to winning.

I was sarcastically happy at first 'cause Collin was awake with a smile before everyone else besides me woke up. He said he had a good dream that "night" and was in a good mood.
I was wondering what would put Collin in a good mood though, although that wasn't very necessary at the moment.

All six of us grouped together infront of the hologram of the Tower, which was seemingly ridiculously larger than I remembered. Almost larger than our hangars that were shaped like the insides of dropships. I saw a dark figure to the top left, with goggles that had running data on them. It noticed me like someone would their senpai, and dissolved into data. I rubbed my eyes and the data was gone. I was certainly confused.

"Hey Tony, snap out of it! It's almost time."  Collin was shaking my shoulder, getting my attention back in the screen displayed in front of us.

"Yeah, I'm back in focus." I replied back.

The six of us, me, John, Bella, Lucy, Collin, and Grace. We were about to take on a challenge no one has ever done before, to save as many people left as we could from dying by the crazy developer of this game of hell: War Robots Online. We were going to fight for victory, and save these players.

We played a huuuuuge game of Rock-Paper-scissors to see who would get to press the final button. After a good 10 minutes of wasted time tying with Grace, she won.
Just kidding. Bella actually won.

As she was about to press the button, I saw Collin start to raise his hand up behind him as he turned away. His green eyes started to flare, as if he were getting enraged. I turned, but not fast enough to get the full picture. There was a woman standing behind us. No idea who she was, but the figure I saw earlier was there as well.

Then, we were sent off to the final match.

I found myself at the battlefield, except there was no menu. I tried to move my hands, but they were shackled with my legs. I was pinned to a wall, feeling very uncomfortable. I was the normal size for a human. For once I realized how large the Moon map was.
I looked above me and saw a large satellite dish above me, about 3 feet in diameter. But to my left was when I realized I was in a partially closed area. Small roof above my head, walls behind and to my sides, but no wall or energy shield in front of me.

I was scared.
But at that moment, screens appeared in front of me, showing me Grace, Tony, Lucy, and Bella. They started to speak, and I could hear them.

"Where are we?" "What's going on?"
"Where's Collin?"

That's what shocked me the most. Collin wasn't anywhere to be seen. Then we heard an adult woman's voice.

"You young people are so noisy. Go ahead and shut up."

Next thing I knew, the screens were gone, and I couldn't speak. I couldn't hear myself.

A disaster was coming.
(That was 666 words just there)

A much larger screen appeared, with a woman holding Collin by his neck in a floating platform, which was a shuttle. He was grasping at her hands as he started to change colors. He was choking, eventually he would end out dying in real life if this continued.

"Hello little heroes." The woman said, "I am Doctor Sheelah, the developer of this so called game."

I wanted to shout at her to let him go, but there was nothing I could do except watch.

"This game, why did I make it? To capture this little person right here in my hand."

I was starting to get confused. Collin? Did they have some sort of background or something?

"You see, he's..." She started.

Instantly Collin managed to raise his leg enough to kick her in the gut. She let go of him. He started his 1,000 meter fall with no atmosphere. Then I realized that gravity was beyond a single G. He was falling fast.

"Why you little! I'll blast you to pieces!"

She held out her arm, and three Fluxes appeared from the side of the ship. Large circle like data tables appeared on the right arm, and the Fluxes followed where it moved. She started to aim at Collin.

"Begone Hero of the Dimensions, The Lightning Element!" She roared.

Then, she made a tight fist. The Fluxes burst and massive beams of pure energy went straight at him. Then the shadow figure came into play, holding a dark shield before the beams, deflected them off back to the ship and throwing Dr. Sheelah off and to the ground as well.

That's when I finally realized what this was all about.
