The announcer's pod hovered in midair, seventy-five feet above the stadium, with a tunnel leading back to the building. Inside of it, a figure sat: A young Latina woman with a sword and dual pistols. Sitting on the table in front of her was a half-empty bottle of high-proof vodka and a microphone.
Below them, to competitors duked it out. Mario and Sonic. Two famous stars of video games. The red-clad plumber soared up in the air and threw a punch at the hedgehog, who caught it and slammed it downwards.
"Oooooh!" shouted Rubi, swaying slightly in her chair. "Aaaand Mario gets wrenched! Y'know? Plumber!" She burst out laughing and took another swig of vodka. The alcohol seared her throat as it went downwards. She watched the fight below her.
"Hey, you! Get out of here!" An announcer rushed in and pulled at Rubi's shoulder.
"Naah," said Rubi with a goofy grin. She punched him casually.
The announcer growled. "Get! OUT!"
Rubi punched him harder. "Fuck you!" She drew her pistol and shot him in the head. Blood spattered across her face. "Blood..."
She stood up and walked out. Two security officers rushed towards her. She drew her sword and decapitated one of them, then shot the other in the throat. "You fuckers," she growled. "I'll kill all of you..."
Rubi kicked the door at the end open. Inside, two women were close to each other. THAT kind of close. They turned towards Rubi with a gasp. "U-uh," one of the women said.
"I won't kill you," said Rubi, "If you get out of my way."
The two women nodded and rushed out. Rubi kept walking down, weapons in hand. She smiled as three more security men wearing SWAT uniforms and holdiong stun batons rushed her. She fired at one of them. The bullet hit him in the stomach, but the bullet was mostly cushioned by the kevlar. She ran up to him and kicked the stun baton away, and then stabbed him in the gut. She whirled around and filled the second guy with lead, then rushed at the final one. She yelled. "SHIIIIIIIIIITHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAD- OW!"
The SWAT officer hit her in the arm with the stun baton. She fell to the ground, twitching.
"Alright, *****," the man said, cuffing her. "You're heading downtBEEP BEEP BEEP."
Rubi looked up at the man. "G-guh?"
"I said, downtoBEEP BEEP BEEP."
Rubi woke up in her bed, sweating and wearing underwear. She looked at the nightstand. Her alarm was going off. She hit the button to turn it off.
"Ugh," she muttered, "Shouldn't have drank that much Daniel's."
