Our story begins on the island named King's Canyon. IMC used this place for collecting minerals and materials, but after its liberation, this place is a battleground for blood sport. Apex Games. Many people come here to take part in them, but not all of them survive. Some people come for money and fortune, others - for their aims. Those who could survive it became Apex Legends. But not all Legends are heroes. Our main character isn't an exception.

Artillery Battery

Artillery is located on the northernmost part of the map. A large concrete base with multiple large buildings, surrounded by high walls. Mid to long-range engagement distances. 2 large main buildings, hangars, 2 tunnels, and a side extension at the end of one tunnel. This place is popular among the Legends because of the high loot tier in this place. Shots and explosions were heard from it. One squad was fighting with another one. The first squad included man, woman, and a robot. Man is a Holographic Trickster and the life of the Apex Games. Mirage. The woman is Interdimensional Skirmisher and the leader of the squad. Wraith. The robot is Forward Scout and cheered up his teammates. Pathfinder. Their opponents were two men with a red robot. One man is Toxic Traper. Caustic. Another man is Surveillance Expert. Crypto. And finally our main character. The robot who's Synthetic Nightmare. Revenant.

"Taking fire!" shouted Crypto getting shot by Pathfinder. Meanwhile, Caustic threw his Nox-grenade in the spot where the enemy squad was hiding. The squad quickly charged at them and began attacking. Soon the whole squad was dead.

"Just another worthless skin bags," said Revenant looting the dead box. Soon the squad headed to the safe zone. Crypto hid in the bushes and began scanning the area with his drone. Suddenly he said:

"Someone destroyed my drone!" Caustic and Revenant looked around and saw the other squad: three women. Combat medic, Professional soldier, and Translocating thief. Revenant perfectly knew the last one. Loba. Loba Andrade. He remembered her scared face when he killed her parents in front of her. Now she came to kill him. It's all ended up by destroying the Skull Dome and Thunderdome on King's Canyon. If she was his teammate, he sometimes taunted her by reminding her about her parents. Squads attacked each other and soon Bangalore shouted:

"Heads up. Dropping the pain!" With those words, she threw the flare and several rows of missiles landed on the battlefield. Meanwhile, Caustic charged his ultimate ability and threw it to enemies. Two squads charged at each other and rows began blowing up. When the dust settled down, Revenant saw that he was alive, while his teammates were dead. He looked around and saw...Loba, who was staring right at him, while her teammates' dead boxes were lying near her.

"Hmm, it seems like we have a duel," said Revenant. Loba looked at him and said:

"As you wish, demonio." With those words, both pulled out their weapons and began shooting at each other. Soon Revenant made a final shot and Loba fell but didn't die. Revenant knew why. Golden shield. He slowly approached Loba and said:

"I won. Again. <Chuckle>" Suddenly he heard that something was ticking. He looked down and saw a frag grenade.

"If I will die, only with you." After these words, the grenade exploded killing simulacrum instantly, while Loba was sent flying by the blast wave. She quickly revived herself and grabbed teammates banners, saying:

"I won a battle, but not the war."

******** ******

The forest. The quiet and peaceful place. Many people go camping there for seeing the beauty of nature. But not in this world. In this world, this forest is one of the dangerous places. Many beasts and creatures, who living there, don't mind to eat travelers who got lost in this place. The silence of the forest was cut off by the appearance of the vortex in the sky. Then the figure fell from it to the ground. Some little animals took a look at it and saw an unknown creature that was made of metal and had red and gray colors. He was wearing the bandana on its head. His fingers were like claws. But what really terrified them is his face. It was white and it had gray lifeless eyes. Suddenly they began flickering and became yellow. Animals quickly hid in their homes (trees and holes) and peeked out from them. The creature moaned and got up on his legs. He looked around and said:

"Where the hell am I?" His voice was low and scary. The creature looked around and tried to find something.

"Ugh, I am certain that I am not in King's Canyon anymore," said creature. Then he went to the east and began searching for people. Suddenly he noticed the light far away. When he began approaching it, he began hearing the voices:

"When those idiots will come back?"

"Calm down. I think they will be there soon. With a pretty girl." Then the voice giggled and the creature felt the disgust. When he was near bushes, he saw a camp. There were two tents and the fire in the center. Then the creature noticed two figures, which were standing and arguing with each other.

"If they will return with nothing, I will beat the crap out of them," said the tallest one.

"Relax," said fat one. The creature took a look at them and noticed that they were like humans, but they were different. They had a horse head, tails, and fur. Their eyes were bigger than human ones.

"I imagine how I will put my fingers in their eye sockets," thought creature to himself. After 2 minutes, the creature heard rustling from bushes. Soon two other figures showed who was dragging...woman. The creature looked at her. It was a mare with a yellow coat and pink mane. She was sobbing and one stallion slapped her.

"Shut up!" Mare just fell to the ground silently crying.

"Hehe, beautiful one," said another. Creature understood what they tried to do. Of course, he loved killing, but raping...he hated rapists. Meanwhile, the third stallion lifted mare's head and said:

"Now, you will be a good girl, and do what we say, understand?" Suddenly they heard the rustling behind them and turned around. What they saw terrified and scared them. It was a creature, but now he was completely black and his yellow eyes were shining in the darkness. Then it said:

"Get a good look. It's the last time when you will see me."
