Episode 1

"Relax Guys this is the day that we are waiting for, and sadly if we don't win this, this will be our last game on CTF" said our leader, Marco or better known by the code name Zeven

- What is CTF? I know many of you do not know this.

The goal of the game is for players to venture into enemy territory, pick up the flag and return it to their territory without being tagged.

The flag is defended primarily by tagging opposing players trying to take it. Within their territory players are "safe", meaning players' opponents cannot tag them.

Once they cross into enemy territory they are weak.

They use computers or laptops and are also considered hackers.

Why do they do it, or why did they invented it?

The game is designed to let you learn to hack in a safe, rewarding environment.

Understand now?

- back to the story -

Marco looked at me and spoke "Diana please, let's forget for now your mother's death? Im sorry to say that but I don't want to lose our group. Please bring back the Diana we know"

I did not answer him and I just nodded.

It's been 2 months since my mother died due to mild stoke, if I had been at home then mom would still be alive.

"Welcome to the 20** Asian CTF ....... we will now watch the battle of Fire Phoenix vs. Blue Leopard in a minute"

The battle will begin soon, so we sat down and glanced to our computers in front of us.

"On our left side we have the blazing Fire Phoenix Zeven, Whiskey, Zeus, 24, and Chase" .. thats me Chase, our supporters applauded and applauded for us.

"and on our right we have the mightly Blue Leopard Data, Light, Bulldog, JD, and Lock" their supporters also applauded and thanked them.

"Warm up first players, the game will start after 3 minutes" said the female MC.

"Guys we can do this, Diana... i beg you"

"Fire Phoenix Fighting!"we shouted.

I put on my headset and set my keyboard before warming up.

.

..

.

"The game will start in 3, 2, 1 ..... Go" cue of the boy mc.

after minutes...

Zeus(Fire Phoenix) blocked Bulldog(Blue Leopard).

Whiskey(Fire Phoenix) got blocked by JD (Blue Leopard)

it's been a hour now

24 (Fire Phoenix) blocked Lock (Blue Leopard)

Zeven (Fire Phoenix) got blocked by Data (Blue Leopard)

right now Im the only hope so that we win.

.. I need to block him and steal their flag at the same time I started typing codes harder, and after minutes

.... I got blocked by Light (Blue Leopard)

..... Damn it! I didn't expect this. I admit I'm still affected of the death of my mom, I don't blame my mother because of that we lose.. I blame myself.

if i have been over to my mother's death, we should have won.

"The winner is Blue Leopards !! They will enter the final round next month on Norway representing the Asia with Silver Caliber's of China"

"Congratulations"

I looked at Zeven and he just shook his head.

We all went to the middle of the stage and shake hands with the Blue Leopard members.

"Congrats" I said.

but before Blue Leopard give speech Marco spoke first.

"Congratulations to Blue Leopards. To our supporters, thank you for supporting us through downs and ups. I'm afraid to say that this is our last competition i hope you guys will still do well. thank you everyone" I can see our supporters face crying and disappointment.

I can't do anything. We all do our farewell to them and we leaved the stage.

i parted with our group because i want to to to the restroom.

I finally got to our waiting room and all i can see is my bag there on the couch and a letter on the table.

*We left early because of my flight, and the other's said they will be back at their hometown now... i hope we can meet again in a better place. Fighting, im sorry im not there to comfort you anymore... but i can't just stay because i need money too. This is not a farewell okay!

I signed, before going out of the room i saw their IDs on the sofa. I decided to keep them and i putted it on my bag.

"excuse me!" i heard a knock and a voice at the door.

i hurriedly opened the door revealing....
