《Assimilation (Octane X Wattson)》The Rivalry
Advertisement
'Dropship commencing in 3, 2, 1, Teams are:
Team 1: Loba, Octane and Wattson
Team 2: Revenant, Mirage and Crypto
Team 3: Pathfinder, Gibraltar and Wraith
Team 4: Bangalore, Lifeline, Bloodhound and Caustic.'
The new King's Canyon lay in front of our eyes, the skull that made Skulltown known was now suspended above the water, the Wetlands was now called Capacitor, this was it, the challenge of winning in the first game of the new Season. Loba was the jumpmaster, we decided, collectively, to land at the Swamps.
As we landed I searched the first building in front of us, I grabbed a Mastiff with a level 1 shotgun bolt, and a P2020 with a hammerpoint. I saw a body shield which was level 2 and grabbed that as well, 'Enemies, on me,' I heard Loba say over our comms, I looked over and saw Pathfinder's team over there, I put a stim in and ran over to her, I saw Wraith and unloaded a clip of my P2020 into her and downed her. Wattson had dealt with Gibraltar with the Flatline she had found, all that was left was Pathfinder, we saw him grapple into the room at the top with Loba, we looked at each other and bolted up there.
When we got to the top we saw Loba, stood there above his Death box, laughing at us, 'Oh come on, thought the newcomer couldn't handle herself?' we looked at each other and awkwardly laughed, then looted. 'Hang on, don't worry about going back for their death boxs,' She put her staff into the ground and opened her Black Market, we could only take two items so I took a backpack and some Light ammo. We moved on and started going towards Hydro Dam.
'Team 3 are eliminated.

Team 4 are eliminated.'
The announcer spoke as the ring started to close, it was closing around Salvage, the new Skulltown area, we moved towards it. 'Only the demonio's squad stands in our way.' Loba spoke words with seriousness behind them, seriousness that struck into our hearts. She wanted to kill Revenant, 'We'll let you deal with him, we can take Mirage and Crypto,' as we said this, we heard Crypto's drone in the air, we felt a sudden surge through the air, 'Oh no, EMP!' Wattson shouted as it hit, as it hit, Revenant and Mirage rushed in, shooting at Wattson and me, we both went down.
'Leave the Andrade for me.' Revenant said in a sickly deep cackle, he looked at Loba, ready to strike. He let rip, firing at least 10 bullets into her, as she got knocked he crouched, 'Now its your turn,' me and Wattson both knew that Loba had a self revive, but she may not be able to use it, he looked at her, and teleported behind her, grabbing her head and ripping it back.
'Your Apex Champions are: Mirage, Crypto and Revenant.'
