In the dim glow of the moonlight, nobody spots the cyborg assassin peeling
herself off the back of a stone gargoyle’s head. She moves with the liquid
grace of a stalking cat, her eyes, one human brown and the other an electric
blue, scanning the damp street before her. In one smooth motion, she raises
the scope of her sniper rifle to the blue eye and peers through it. There. Her
heat sensor picks up a small figure scurrying behind a building. The
assassin smiles. From the way the figure moves, it’s obvious that it’s a
dwarf. Dwarves are armed with machine guns, so it’s in her best interests to
eliminate this one before he spots her. Her finger caresses the trigger. Just
one more step and the dwarf will be out of cover. She takes a breath to
steady herself. The dwarf’s hat comes into view, followed by his head. She
pulls the trigger just as a huge shield appears in front of the dwarf.
What? It takes a second for the assassin to realize what’s just happened.
The shield is being held by a huge, hulking figure. A grinning giant of a
man. The second it’s taken the assassin to reassess the situation costs her.
Before she can react, the dwarf swings his machine gun over the giant’s
shield and the world explodes. Machine guns are rarely accurate. But then,
they don’t need to be.
“VICTORY” flashes onto my screen as the assassin, along with the
stone gargoyle, tumbles down onto the street. Grinning, I tap my fingers
against my keyboard with practiced ease.
Dudebro10: Duuude!
Sourdawg: Yasss!
The robot assassin was the last of the enemy’s team. Both teams started
out with five members each, and the robot assassin managed to pick off
three of my team members within the first ten minutes of the round. When
our second member was sniped three minutes in, I told Sourdawg, who has
chosen to play the machine-gun-toting dwarf, that we needed to stay well
away from the assassin so we could kill off her teammates before getting to
her ourselves. He agreed—he always agrees—and the two of us did what
we do best, with me playing as the gigantic tank.
Sourdawg: Teamwork makes the dream work!
My grin widens. Sourdawg is such a dork, I swear. He’s always ready
with these little clichés that should be cringey but, coming from him, are
adorkable. Plus, he’s not wrong. Ever since we started teaming up,
Sourdawg and I have held one of the highest ranks in the Southeast Asian
section of Warfront Heroes.
Dudebro10: Ooh, watch the replay. Look at my shield.
Looook!
On the screen, the replay starts, showing my ridiculously muscled
character crouching behind his lead shield as he crawls behind Sourdawg’s
character. I was so careful to make sure that I was covered by the shield the
entire time so that the assassin’s heat scans wouldn’t pick up my body heat.
Sourdawg: You move very smoothly for such a big guy.
Dudebro10: Hey, big guys can be graceful too.
Dudebro10: Plus, I’ve been doing ballet since I was—
