Speed can be Tricky
Octane’s Point of View
"The name is Elliot Witt." Elliot held out his hand to the newest Legend to join the Apex team. "Hola Amigo! Octavio Silva. High speed-daredevil at your service!" He shook Elliot's hand just as fast as he spoke; which was pretty fast. It had always been Octavio's dream to compete in the Apex games and his dream was finally coming true. He was standing in the arena and shaking the hand of his teammate for the very first time.
Octavio looked around at the two tall buildings towards the backside of Repulsor through his goggles. "Yeah. No problemo!" He thought to himself as he yanked a syringe, filled with stim, from his pocket. He injected himself with syringe and took off running as the bright green liquid emptied into his body. He ran around the entire perimeter of Repulsor not once but twice before Elliot could even think of his first question for his new teammate.
"So is that your ability?" Elliot tilted his head to get a better look at Octavio as he finally slowed down in front of him. "One of them." Octavio crossed an arm over his chest and used his other arm to give his arm a good stretch. The stim made Octavio run fast but it also drained a small portion of his health when he used it. As Octavio stood there his health began to regenerate on its own.
Octavio yawned, "Nah. I can self-heal too. It's not very fast but it's enough to give me an edge over the competition." He didn't want to give away all of his secrets on the first day but he was going to have to give his teammate some of the details if he wanted to win his first match. He looked around Repulsor for a moment. Oddly the arena felt almost like home; or at least as close as he was going to get to some kind of home.
Elliot smirked at him, "So like Lifeline?" Octavio almost panicked, "What do you mean do I like Lifeline?" Elliot was silent for a moment, "Sooooo, you self-heal like Lifeline?" Octavio laughed it off, hoping that he didn't sound weird when talked about Lifeline, "Is she the one with the heal bot? Nah, I can actually only self-heal myself." Elliot was almost lost in the last part but nodded as it slowly started to make sense to him. "I gotcha. I think."
"What did you inject into yourself and where can I get it some?" Elliot said as he tiled his head and rubbed his bread with his hand. He was genuinely interested in his teammate's injectables. "Those could be great for parties." Octavio chuckled at his teammate's question and statement. "Stim injection amigo. It came from Silva Pharmaceuticals. I don't know how they would do outside of the arena but we could certainly try." Octavio stretched out his legs, he just couldn't seem to stand still for too long otherwise he would get too bored.
Elliot raised an eyebrow when heard the name: 'Silva Pharmaceuticals.' He knew that he recognized the name from somewhere and then it hit him, "I know that name. The card in Ajay's wallet. Does Ajay..." His thoughts were interrupted by Octavio. "What's your ability amigo?" Octavio began tapping his right prosthetic foot impatiently as Elliot just stood there.
As soon as Octavio went to wave a hand in front of Elliot's face he felt a sudden tap on his right shoulder. Octavio looked over his right shoulder but there was no one there. Octavio then felt a tap on his left shoulder. Octavio looked over his left shoulder but there was no one there. Octavio promptly turned around to see Elliot laughing behind him. He laughed with Elliot, "Teleportation?"
He watched as Elliot dissipated into blue electrical sparks and then into blue dust that drifted off into nothingness. "Decoys and invisibility my friend." Elliot was still standing in the same spot as Octavio turned around. "Sweet trick!" Octavio smiled and thought of the many ways that Elliot's abilities could be useful in the arena and outside of the area; if that were at all possible.
Elliot moved closer and knelt down in front of Octavio. Elliot made a fist and knocked on one Octavio's legs. "Where did you get these bad boys?" Octavio struck a pose for a moment. Octavio was always one big ball of energy and highly extroverted, "Ah, these beauties. They were made from the left over Stryder Chassis of a Northstar Titan. A super-fast Titan. The only one with hover capabilities I was told. Some assembly required." He paused, "All assembly was done by a friend. Good thing I know a guy. Pretty cool, huh?"
Octavio was pretty proud of his prosthetic legs because without them he would be back on Psamthe, stuck behind some desk at Silva Pharmaceuticals trying not to blow his own brains out from sheer boredom. Elliot saw something engraved into Octavio's left upper prosthetic but before he could make out what the inscription said, Elliot was flying through the air. Elliot could hear the distant laugh from Octavio, who seemed to still be planted on the ground.
Elliot didn't take any damage when he landed safely on the other side of Repulsor. Right when he hit the ground Elliot ran back over to Octavio to find some sort of green and gray pad laying on the ground where he had been standing. "Do you like my jump pad amigo?" Octavio laughed some more. Elliot chuckled and took a few steps back. Elliot had a smirk on his face as a funny idea popped into his head.
Elliot held his right hand out and pointed at the jump pad with his index finger. His suit began to glow blue and all of the energy from his suit transferred down along his finger. An exact copy of himself, a decoy, appeared from the tip of his finger and ran right straight at the jump pad. The decoy launched off the pad and went flying. They both started laughing hysterically. They found more items to launch off of the jump pad. These shenanigans seemed to go on for about an hour or two.
Since Elliot had been around this arena longer than the other Legends (knew about) he gave Octavio the official tour after they were done screwing around with the jump pad. Elliot didn't take anything too seriously and it was nice to know that his teammate was as lighthearted as he was. It would be a nice change of pace from some of the other Legends.
Elliot couldn't help but wonder what Octavio's connection to Ajay was, or if he even had a connection to Ajay at all. He didn't want to ask Octavio too many questions on the first day and throw his first match. Although he did have one more pressing question for Octavio, "Hey, what's that thing on your belt?" Elliot pointed down to Octavio's waist.
Octavio looked down, "Oh, this old thing? It's a small dialysis machine. It cleans my blood. That stim is no joke amigo." Elliot nodded, "Makes sense." Elliot thought to himself for a moment, "Kind of. It kind of makes sense." Elliot took Octavio to Bunker. "There will be one Legend or one team that will land here for sure. Caustic and Lifeline. I know for a fact that Lifeline doesn't care to camp out here but she probably will have to because that's where her teammate will land."
If Octavio had any color in his face, which he really didn't anyway, it would be drained from existence. His face was generally pale because he usually had it hidden underneath a helmet or a mask. "Lifeline." The name sent chills down Octavio's spine as he repeated her name in his head. Elliot gave Octavio the speech about all the other Legends, their attributes, and their downfalls as they made their way back to Repulsor.
Everything that Octavio and Elliot had pulled out to use or tossed off the jump pad began to disappear when it got close to match time. Elliot glanced over to Octavio who was running in place, "We'll have to wait until for the match officially begins before we can access anything on it." Team Speed can be Tricky had an advantage because they would start directly in the arena. They wouldn't have to bother with hopping out of a transport ship.
Elliot and Octavio both agreed that they would start in Repulsor since that's where they had started in the first place and also since Octavio was fairly familiar with the lay out. Elliot had also suggested that the loot in Repulsor was decent compared to other places in the arena. Elliot was also about 75% sure that none of the other teams would drop in with them since Repulsor was so far out. Most of the Legends liked to keep things centralized, especially since they all knew where one team would land for sure.
Elliot pulled up the map to show Octavio what his thoughts were. "Bomb Squad will probably land in Relay or Wetlands. That's Gibraltar and Bangalore. They both can launch bombs from the sky. Void Hunting will probably land in Skull Town. That's Bloodhound and Wraith. You can expect recon and portals from them. Science is the best Medicine will land in Bunker for sure. That's Caustic and Lifeline." Elliot started laughing.
Octavio just stood there quietly for a moment but when Elliot would stop laughing Octavio had to speak up, "What's so funny amigo?" Elliot looked over to Octavio, "Lifeline and Caustic." He paused and did his best Ajay Che impersonation of her best impersonation of Mikhail, "Ajay was like: I am with Dr. Mikhail Caustic and I get ta play Bunker defense" He laughed, "Ajay is not happy to be paired with him tonight. He is rough around the edges. He is not big in being a team player right now."
Octavio immediately grew tense and stood the most still that he had ever stood in his life. He clenched his fists to his sides. "Ajay. Were they on a first name basis? Of course they were. Elliot was a coworker. Or her boyfriend?" He quickly brushed the thought away and began running in place again. Octavio didn't want Elliot to know about his rocky past with Ajay. He didn't want to ruin her career or her life, again.
"How do you know so much about this place and these Legends Elliot?" Octavio was trying to lighten his own mood a bit and get to know a little more about his competition. Elliot sighed, "I've been around for a bit." Octavio raised an eyebrow, "Where? I have never seen you on the telemundo." Octavio began to pace as he waited for a response from his teammate, but it sure was taking a while.
"Yeah, well I was part of Apex before it was a televised event. I did some engineering with the holo-pilot tech. I even put together my own suit for the arena. I went through a lot to get here." Elliot sighed because he really had been through a lot with the loss of his brothers and his mother's declining mental health. He missed his mom any time that he thought about her. He wished that there was more that he could do for her; he wished that there was a cure.
"The truth is I have been in out of Apex, mostly doing a lot behind the scenes stuff when I could. I had a lot to take care of back home, so Apex supported me while I took care of my personal business. When I was able to commit to a full-time position, they helped me out when I was ready to come back. They have done a lot for me."
Octavio nodded because he knew that was true. He was in a similar situation. If Apex wanted you then they made it clear; or at least their recruiter made it clear. Octavio's spot was held until he was able to take care of his own business and he had a lot of shit to take care of. As it turns out being rich and having money didn't solve all of his problems. In fact, being rich and having money made him lose his best friend.
Elliot didn't like the awkward silence between him and Octavio, so he tried to fill it without being awkward, which he usually failed at. "Everyone has their story of why they are here. All of the Legends have a different story. None of them just showed up to compete in the arena for the fame and glory. Every Legend has some deeper or even darker story. Everyone is chasing some kind of dream or nightmare." He paused for a moment, "Why are you here Octavio?"
A blank look washed over Octavio's face but Elliot couldn't see it of course. He shrugged, "Some people are just here for the fame and the glory." Octavio struck a quick pose and pointed at himself as he lied to Elliot, "That's my story Amigo. Not everyone has something deep and dark that they are competing for. Sometimes things are just what they are; surface level shit." Elliot shrugged and nodded, "I guess he could be right but then he would be the only one out of all of us."
The arena clock began countdown at the 60 second mark and Octavio was ready to go. He really needed to blow off some steam by getting a good run in and some target practice. A laugh or two wouldn't hurt either. The closer the countdown got to zero the more anxious Octavio got. Elliot smiled at his teammate, "By the way my name in the area is Mirage. What about you?" Octavio smirked underneath his mask, "Octane."
