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. We were currently in second with Kalkman nipping our heels and the Gummies not far behind them. The dodgeball tournament would decide who places where. And here’s how it started.
The first round was nearly finished,…show more content… I barely remember who the next team was, Barnabas Maximas. More like losers Maximas. Easy win. But then it got interesting.The semi-finals.

One by one the Moss grew over the Alpachemists until we were almost finished. I was first in line to get back in. But all that was left was two girls, Puggy a highschool girl and Katherine. It was Five vs. Two I thought to myself. “ All is lost” when suddenly, a ball came whirling toward Katherine. “ Look out” cried our team. She immediately drop the ball in her possession and raised her hands to catch the ball. POP! In her…show more content… I was in. Four vs. Three. The game was even more intense than it was before. The crowd went wild! Puggy then threw a ball and it hit the leader of the Moss. Three V Three. OOPS! 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
