Champs
My legion needed a player. I didn’t sign up but I had to do it. The main event had come : the all important dodgeball tournament. Ten players from each legion. One game at a time. Three minutes to win. Champs keep the bracket. Winner takes all.
It was the second and final day of the GCA Armageddon. Maas’s Moss was annihilating in the competition, but second, third and fourth were up in the air. The three teams to fight for those spots were Gillman’s Gummy Bears , Kalkmans K Cubed and my legion, Ameziane’s Alpachemists.

Katherine unexpectedly got hit, this time not in her hands. Three v Two. Alpachemists fighting back when Coach Lozano said “1 minute”. I felt the weight on my shoulders as Puggy was only good at staying alive. So good, in fact, that the Moss felt they couldn’t get her out. Then the weight was even more on my shoulders. So much pressure made me lose my footing, just as a ball raced towards my chest. I closed my eyes as I sensed it getting closer. CRACK! As my back connected to the cold, hard, dusty ground. But instead of the crowd in
