A Speedy Death
Octane’s POV Continued
---
Once the countdown clock hit zero Octane yelled, "NON TERRAE PLUS ULTRA!" He then sped off to loot anything and everything that he could. Mirage laughed, "Yeah! Whatever he said!" They both quickly looted Repulsor before they headed towards Swaps to grab some loot and hopefully meet up with Bomb Squad in the Shattered Forest. This was the fastest that Mirage had ever looted and before he knew it they we headed towards the Shattered Forest.
Both Octane and Mirage were outfitted in level one armor, a level one helmet, and a level one backpack. They both managed to find ammo, syringes, and shield cells. As far as guns went Mirage was carrying a Hemlok and an R301. Octane found an R99 and he was instantly satisfied with his discovery. Octane told Mirage that he liked the R99 because, "She's fast, like me." So it was no surprise that when Octane found a second R99 he picked it up and he was ready to go.
"Yo, Mirage. Why do they call it the Shattered forest?" As they approached the Shattered forest Octane thought it looked more like a burnt forest. All of the trees were black and pretty much burnt to the ground; in fact some of the tree remains were still smoldering and smoking. Mirage shrugged, "Someone told me the story once but I don't remember the whole thing. It used to be called the Glass Forest though." Octane shrugged and pointed as he saw two figures running through the Shattered Forest. Mirage nodded, "Bomb Squad."
Octane threw down his jump pad as he used a stim filled syringe. He quickly ran at the jump pad and launched himself into the air at the Bomb Squad members who had stopped running once they heard the other team behind them. Octane shot Gibraltar in the head with his R99 while doing a flip in the air. When Octane's metal feet hit the dirt so did Gibraltar's knees as he was down from the gunfire.
Bangalore launched her smoke near Gibraltar to provide some cover. She then tossed out her rolling thunder at Mirage. Bangalore double timed over to Gibraltar while dodging all of the bullets that Octane shot at her. Bangalore began to pick up Gibraltar within the cover of her smoke but she immediately stopped as her teammate tagged Mirage who was right in front of them, "Right there!" Bangalore's missiles fell from the sky and lined the ground around them.
Bangalore stood up and quickly withdrew her P2020. She fired the pistol in the direction of Mirage only for his decoy to dissipate into thin air as her bullets hit it. The missiles began to explode around the two teams but they didn't seem to hit anyone. By the time Bangalore could react to Mirage's decoy it was too late, Mirage was already behind her and had managed to get a few pulls of his Hemlok into her. He broke her armor and depleting her health. Both Bangalore and Gibraltar turned into death boxes as the smoked cleared.
Mirage and Octane gave one another a fist bump before they looted. They quickly took what they needed and proceed to the buildings straight ahead of them known as The Farm. Their final destination would be through Cascades and then to Bunker. As they made their way to the top of the hill Mirage motioned for Octane to stop while he listened. Mirage put his index finger to his lips as he whispered, "Shhhh." He pointed to the only building with doors as he could hear movement.
He whispered into the comms device, "There are only two points of entry. I will take the door on the other side. You take the door on the left side. Shoot through the windows." Octane nodded and they both moved as quietly as they could to their locations outside of the doors. Just as Mirage said, each entry way had a window next to it. Octane readied his R99 and Mirage withdrew his R301. They both peaked through the windows. Mirage could see Bloodhound through his window and Octane could see Wraith though the other window. "Three!" Mirage whispered yelled into the comms device.
With one clip from each gun, both Wraith and Bloodhound were death boxes in no time. They both entered through each door and fist bumped once again. "Octane, grab throwables. Caustic will have the Bunker on lockdown with gas traps. We can shoot the traps at their bases to disable them but only if we actual see the base of the traps. If we can't see the traps, and go in blindly, then we will set them off." Octane nodded and picked up a few termites and a grenade, "Got it amigo!"
Mirage picked up his own throwables as well, mostly thermites, "We need to go and hit the backside of Bunker so that we can maintain high ground. It's on the Airbase side right next to High Desert." Mirage had been in the arena long enough to know how important high ground was. Octane gave him a thumbs up and the both ran out of the building. Octane didn't bother to check his mini-map, he trusted that Mirage knew where he was going.
They ran through Three Way and slid down into the water, ignoring all the buildings in between. They went up the left side of Bunker and made their way to the backside of Bunker. Elliot noticed that none of the bins had been opened, which meant that the enemy team didn't come in or leave through the backside. Mirage and Octane didn't bother to open the bins either so that they didn't make any unnecessary noise.
Octane looked at the ominous closed door in front of him and then he looked over to Mirage, "What's the plan amigo?" Mirage looked at Octane as they stood outside of the Bunker door. "As soon as the siren goes off for the ring countdown we'll open the door and play it by ear. Shoot down any traps that you can see and chuck throwables in." Mirage was quite happy with his plan because he It was the only plan that he had at the moment.
Octane nodded in agreement and opened the door to Bunker as soon as the sirens sounded to signal the ring countdown. They both began to shoot down Caustic's gas traps one by one and tried to enter Bunker as covertly as they could. Mirage pulled out a thermite and threw it around the corner, down into the long hallway. One of the gas traps that they couldn't see went off as it sizzled in the fire.
"Damn." Mirage was hoping to get into Bunker clean and wipe the squad without a hitch but he wasn't quite sure how many traps that Caustic could place at one time. They both listened and they both heard the crack of not one but two sets of body armor. "They are both cracked." Mirage announced to Octane. Mirage was actually quite surprised that he was able to bust both two armors in one thermite, "I'm gonna add that to resume."
Octane pulled out a thermite and chucked around the corner. They both heard a clunk followed by a knock, and then sizzling. So to follow was the familiar sound of a death box hitting the metal grated floor of the Bunker hallway. As soon as Octane heard the shuffle of footsteps from the only other member on the enemy team, he ran around the corner with his R99 out.
When he got around the corner he was greeted by bullets that came whirling through the flames of the thermite. He didn't have time to fire as his armor cracked. "Lucky shot." He backed himself around the corner but as soon as he did he heard the front set of Bunker doors open. He knew that he had catch whoever was leaving before that made it to a respawn point in the arena.
Octane yanked out a stim filled syringe from his pocket and injected himself. He took off around the corner, again, as fast as he could. Mirage yelled into the comms device at him, "What are you doing?" Octane ran through his own fire, which depleted some of his health. He jumped over a death box, which he didn't have any time to examine. He made it to the front of Bunker just in time to see someone run into the house just to the left of the entrance. He pulled out another stim and injected himself once more. Octane did not intend to lose his first match.
As he quickly approached the disfigured house he decided to veer towards the left and around the house so that he could cut off the enemy outside of the house. His footsteps were loud in the water once he from made it there. He looked around but there was no one in sight. The valley of water led towards an open area with another set of beat-up houses, but they were distant, "No way they made it over there."
Octane spotted a large rock sitting in the water. He pulled out his R99 and jogged over to the rock. When he got to the rock he could only stand there as he looked at the enemy crouched in the water. He stared down at her for longer than he should have but he couldn't help himself; he didn't know if it was really her or not. He knelt down in front of Lifeline and fought back the urge to touch her to see if she was real. He hadn't seen her in so long. If it wasn't for the damn match that they were in, then he would have hugged her.
Lifeline's features were just as soft as her remembered them. He watched the look of disbelief wash over her face when she saw him. Mirage was yelling something into his ear over the comms device but Octane really couldn't make out what he was saying, nor did he care. He just wanted to stay there and that moment and take all of her in.
He reached up and pulled the comms device from his head. He then reached over and gently removed her comms device, brushing his fingers against her hair as he did. Octane tossed both comms devices into the water behind him. The comms devices sparked and sizzled in the water until they eventually shorted out and could no longer produce any type of signal; after all they were not waterproof. No one could hear them; no one could see them. He had cut the audio and video feed from viewers.
When he was sure that they were not being watched he finally spoke to her from underneath his masked face, "Che." His voice was low and calm. He knew that she allowed him to call her that; he was the only one that was allowed to call her that. He watched her lips move as she tried to speak. Her sweet voice was nothing more than a whisper to him but it was the sweetest whisper that he had heard in a long time, "Silva."
He smiled under his mask because he had not heard that name in a very long time. Just as she allowed him to call her Che, he allowed her to call him Silva. "She is the only one that can call me that." He stared at her as she gazed into his goggle-covered eyes. He watched the pain and confusion in her beautiful brown eyes. He wished that he could take all of her pain away. He hated seeing her in such pain.
Octane removed his broken armor and tossed it to the side. He could see her face fill with more pain as he reached into his backpack and removed the only grenade that he had picked up. The pin hit the water in silence as he yanked it from the grenade and tossed it away. The grenade flashed red as he held it in his hand. He knew it wouldn't explode until seconds after he released it; that's how the arena was programmed.
His face closed the gap between them as he pressed his forehead to hers. He wanted to laugh because she smelt faintly of burnt vanilla. It was a mixture of her and the fire from the thermite. He felt bad when he saw the warm streams of tears pouring down her face; leaving clean lines amongst all the dirt. He desperately wanted to wipe her tears away but deep down he knew that she wouldn't let him. He was surprised that she had even let him get this close to her.
When her gun hit the water he wondered why she didn't just shoot him right then and there. He was starting to think that maybe, just maybe, he had another chance. He had so much to say to her but he could see that she was in shock, and in no state to hear what he had to say. Octane watched as Lifeline was barely moving; she was barely even breathing. For once his heart wasn't racing and he was the one who was calm. "Shocker."
Octane reached down with his free hand and forced her soft hands open. His body ached as he actually touched her hands with his own. He could feel the tremble of her hands as he placed the grenade into them. He released his grasp on the grenade and watched her face fill with anger as tears poured down her face even faster than before.
One second was just enough time for the arena to register that the grenade was out of his possession. After that one second was over Octane wrapped his hands tightly around hers. He could see a look of absolute surprise overtake Lifeline's face as she began to shake her head at him. Her words came out in uncontrollable whispers, "No. No. No. No." He was almost ashamed of what he had just done but he knew it was the only thing that he could do.
He wanted to tell her why he was doing what he was doing, "I can't kill you in this battle royale. Not now at least. It's not fair. What I did to you... I hope that you understand that the only way out of this situation is if I kill us both." Octane snapped out of his thoughts and talked to her in a calm, even tone, "Shhh. It's okay. Just like old times. Just me and you Che...." His voice sounded abnormally calm, even to himself.
Octane knew that he never sounded that calm and that he probably wasn't fooling her with his tone of voice. He watched Lifeline as she closed her beautiful eyes and pressed her forehead firmly against his. He closed his emerald eyes, which were hidden behind his goggles. He then waited for the detonation. The expulsion was loud as it echoed through the small valley just beyond Bunker. It was the last thing that he remembered hearing.
Mirage strolled out of Bunker and heard the explosion from where he stood. "What the...?! He ran over to source of the noise to investigate. He found his teammate's death box and Lifeline's death box on top of one another. "What the heck happened?" He couldn't make sense of what had just happened but it really didn't matter as his thoughts were soon interrupted by the announcer's voice, "We have our Apex Champions."
Mirage had no one to celebrate with so threw out a decoy to dance with him while he was on camera. He was still a little confused by the whole situation. He wondered if maybe Lifeline had the grenade that killed them, but then he wonder why Octane would be so close. He kept dancing until he was teleported back to the transport ship where all of the other Legends were already waiting.
