Well that was interesting. For my bachelor party the president brought me Raito, Bruce, and three of the guys from the lab to a large arena. He signaled to the technician up in a room looking over the arena, and the lights turned of, black lights turned on, and, like ninjas, there were secret service officers standing next to each of us. They were wear, as well as holding helmets, vest and gun. They handed us the equipment while the president put his on. He said, "It is you all versus me. We're gonna play a summer camp classic assassinate the president. I wish good luck to you all..." He then slipped into the darkness with some final words, "You're gonna need it." We all stood there looking at each other when i noticed the Secret Service guys had disappeared as quietly and suddenly as they appeared. One of the lab technicians said, "well what are we waiting for! LET'S GET HIM!"
He ran into the darkness, and with sound of compressed air and his girl screams he fell back into our view. He was covered in bright green splatter marks, that glowed under the black lights. Raito said, "Obviously, we're gonna need some more planning." So we huddled around an ammo table. On it were pistols, grenades, and paint knives (Foam knives with a grove along the blade to wick paint across it.). And we laid out a plan, and armed ourselves with the additional weaponry. We actually decided against using the riffles we weren't going into a battle with in numerous enemies. Hand guns would work just fine, and allow us more maneuverability. Bruce was actually able to attach one on the paint knives. using a special all purpose clamp attachment he had made for his prosthetic hand. Raito only grabbed two knives, and a gun. He always preferred little and controlled over quantity and spread. As for me, I went all Rambo on this. I grabbed two guns, and put them in hip holsters, two on my chest, and one on my lower back. a knife on each calf, and one on my chest. Finally a grabbed two more pistols which I would carry.
The lab techs suited up like me but rather then loading up on guns the just brought clips. I warned them it would be faster to just switch to new guns, but they scoff, and one of them said. I'm also taking my assault riffle. I figured it was futile to argue so I just said, "It's your funeral." As we approached the war-zone, I noticed my eyes had now adjusted to the darkness. I could now see about fort feet in front of me. We slowly crept along staying in cover as best we could. Suddenly a noise to our right spooked the lab tech with the M-16, and he released a flurry of fire into the empty air. I signaled to have Bruce and Raito to scout on the left. Suddenly we were rained down upon with heavy fire. we all took cover, but one of the lab techs began firing blindly. We heard a loud thud, and yelp of pain, and the fire stopped. The lab tech ran saying "I got him I got him!" But when he got to his target it was Raito. He had shot one of his own men. I slowly approached and saw his mistake. I was fuming and said, "You moron short controlled bursts. You just downed one of you own guys. Sorry Rait." He had been hit in thos throat so a painfully squeezed out a "It's OK. I'm gonna throw up now." He stood up and walked off the arena floor where he was met by a nurse who made sure he was alright.
Suddenly another flurry of paint came down. I rolled out of the way, and was only nicked on the shoulder. We looked back and saw the lab tech curled up in the fetal position, being pelted by shots. He said "Ow" every time he got hit. I notice it was because his M-16 strap had been caught on a loose nail and it prevented him from rolling properly. I yelled out to him, "Told ya." He stood up, dropped his gun, and ran away, but the shot kept hitting him until he was off the field. Just s he reached the safe zone he was just out of range of the shots. He then stuck his tongue out and said, "Ha can't reach me now can ya?" Just then a shot hit him right in the forehead. I crumpled in pain. That's when I realized. the president wasn't working alone. That shot came a downward facing angle. the other came from straight on. plus the paint color was different. I told the others that there were at least two more enemies. I figured there were at probably the same number of men as there were us. however, we were three men down.
I rallied every one to me I examined the ceiling. It was about twenty feet high and had a turret towards the middle of the room about 3O feet away. That was the only place the guy, who shot the lab tech in the head, could be. I also figured the rest must be on the ground. I told them we were going to all walk about ten feet from each other and slowly sweep the arena. So with the plan set I rolled grabbed the and fired into the turret. I heard someone yell, "I'm hit", and the presidents voice came over the intercom."Congratulations you figured it out. I never go anywhere without my secret service." The intercom cut out an we began our sweep. Bruce was the first to take one out. He shot one of the guys, and then sliced him with the knife leaving a blue glowing line across the guys chest. I got the next guy I saw the white insignia on his arm glow, and I waited on the other side of the obstacle he was hiding behind. I dropped a bullet to draw him out. He came out fired a barrage of paint and notice the cold metal of my muzzle against his temple. I said, "Bang" and pulled the trigger. Don't worry I know even with paint guns it's dangerous to shoot peoples heads so I lowered my aim first. Just then I heard the lab tech say, "I got one!" He dropped his clip and began reloading, but before he could finish another guy showed up and sliced him. Luckily this put him right in my sight so I took him down.
Just then a saw Bruce grappling with one of the guys so I through my second knife at him and got him off Bruce. Bruce said, "I owe ya one." Just then Bruce aimed his gun at me and fired. I flinched but notice I had no Paint on me. I turned around and saw a secret service guy behind me he said, "ah dang it paint got in my eye, that gonna be a pain to wash out." He sulked and walked away. Bruce said, "debt repaid." we both ran together, and took out a few more guys on the way. finally we found a door. We knew the president had to be behind it. Bruce went to open the door when it swung open and a huge splatter of paint covered him. I kicked the guy gun fro m his hand and shot him. Leaving the door way wide open. I peered in and saw waht appeared to be a technicolor oval office. And sitting alone at the desk was the president. His white election winning smile shone under the black light. He said, " I promise we are alone. Come win the game." So I entered and asked, "Why do you have an oval office that glows in black light?" I got closer keeping my gun trained on him, and he said, " Oh it was a fun little project we used to entertain ourselves. I actually did a lot of the work myself. It helped us all get our minds of the whole end of human society thing." By this time i was just on the other side of his desk. "It's actually almost a perfect replica. There are just a few differences." I reached for something in my pocket and asked "like what?" He responded, "oh, stuff like... this!" Suddenly I heard the compressed air release, and felt the sting in my gut. I looked down and saw the muzzle of the hidden gun in his desk. Like I mentioned earlier I was reaching behind my back. I did this because I had a feeling he had something up his sleeve. While we spoke I was pulling the pin on the grenade. As I knelt in my final moments. He came from around his desk, and knelt next to me. He said, I can see why you've survived this plague, you have some smarts, but so do I. I mean I got millions of people to vote for me...twice. Wanting my last words to be memorable. So, I lunged at him released the grenades fuze and said, "I didn't vote for ya!" Just then paint splattered all over the room. We both glowed in bright green. The everyone walked into the room. The president said, "you didn't vote for me?"Everyone was silent until Bruce said, "Awkward." and everyone began laughing. This was one so awesome, and I'm looking forward to my wedding.
