The arena screen burns with **Double Trouble**. The gate releases a hiss of compressed air, and we are among them—Killdroid and Badware—a red and chaotic blur that sends the survivors into a screaming, scrambling rout. I track their panic, a cold, efficient observation. "Let's make this quick," my voice rasps, metallic and flat. "I don't have time for games." I don't wait for Badware's inevitable chatter. I'm already a streak of motion, deploying killbots to block the narrow hallways, their red targeting lasers painting the walls. My shoulder launchers hum, then roar, sending missiles screaming toward the few who dared to stand and fight—the strongest threats erased in fire and shrapnel.
