Countdown

Only 1 day was left. The timer switched from days to hours. We called everyone for a speech before the big fight.

- Everyone, please just a couple minutes of your attention, - I stood up on a high surface and made sure everyone could hear me, - we have exactly twenty four hours left until this whole thing starts. I want to start by saying thank you - thank you for participating, thank you for standing up for what's right and thank you for not doubting yourself. Yes, this will be hard. Yes, many of us will lose all of our items by dying. I don't know about you, but that is a risk I am very willing to take. So come on, prepare your weapons, pull your head up. Do anything you need to prepare - get every weapon, tell everybody you know, break every wall if you have to.

- What about this wall? - Z looked at you.

- That's the 4th wall, try not to break that one. - I said and continued my speech. - I WILL GO INTO BATTLE EVEN IF IT MEANS DYING HERE, WHO'S WITH ME?

Everyone started cheering and shouting - the whole plot lit up with fierce eyes ready to fight for freedom.

Time was ticking and we weren't hearing anything from the president, but that didn't worry us, we were confident. 

- That was a pretty good speech, - Z sat down close to me, - seems like everyone is pretty excited.

- It's exciting but it's equally scary. I don't want to disappoint anyone who has hope.

- You won't. Everyone here knows they're fighting for the right side. Nobody will blame you if things go south.

- Thanks Z, that means a lot.

- Okay, don't start being emotional, we have a battle on the way.

- Yup, twenty more hours. Seems like the last four hours past in five minutes.

- Well everyone has been busy, so time just goes.

- Yes. - I said, having a million thoughts rushing through my mind at once. - Z, what's the highest level we have?

- 96. - Z had all the statistics written down.

- That's very very good.

I looked around and saw people preparing and testing out their mechs. Some mechs were ones of the most expensive on the market.

With half of the day gone, we had 12 hours. We started hearing new that the opposition was also preparing. A lot of our people came across them in game stores and markets. 

- They were buying BFG's and they were probably buying something else, but that's all we saw. - Some people I haven't met before came up to me.

- Okay, we can beat some BFG's, thank you for the information, that's good.

- We wish we could get more info, but it's hard.

- No worries, you're helping enough already. Just get ready for battle and you'll be golden.

- Yup. - They said and ran off.

Z and I also got ready with 10 hours left. We made sure our ammunition, weapons, defenses and everything else were all in place.

- Ready? - I asked.

- Ready as I'll ever be. - She responded.
