Writing this very late at night, please forgive me for any errors, spelling errors, wrong words, or bad word choice. <3

I don't have time at all during the day to write, so instead, I'll be writing usually past 11PM or past 12AM (aka midnight).

Anyways, this is just some lore for people like Bandites, TanqR, Hoopie, etc.
Basically all the Arsenal YouTubers lol.

This is kinda like a series, I guess. Traumatic Memories will be a bit of backstory, mainly for the finalists' main games. PinkLeaf got his own book ("PinkLeaf's Training") so I won't be writing a oneshot for him.

May or may not write one for IBella. I haven't watched hardly any of her videos, so I probably won't.

I do have ideas for a oneshot/some lore for Denis, don't worry, I won't just be writing lore here for the two champions. I actually remembered Denis was a finalist for once :O

Oh, also, they're kinda young here—like, 16ish. Haven't really decided. Just keep that in-mind.

Anyways, enough of that. Onto the actual oneshot lol.

( - Bandites POV - )
I was sprinting through the forest, running from a bunch of my friends. We were playing a game of tag, and TapWater—one of my friends—was currently it. He chased after me. I heard his loud footsteps cracking twigs and beating down into the earth. I shoved tree branches out of my way and flung them behind me in hopes of keeping Tap back—long enough for me to get away.

"Hey, loser, you won't tag anyone like that!" Rainway—another one of my friends—sneered at Tap to my right. Tap almost tripped on a fallen log as he was distracted by Rain's taunts.

"Come on, slowpoke!" Rektway—the fourth member of our friend group—added in a joking manner.

"I know, I know, I'm coming for you guys!" Tap exclaimed. He switched paths and began running towards Rain and Rekt. Rekt let out a yell of surprise and spun around. However, it was too late. He'd already been tagged by Tap. "Got you!" Tap said triumphantly.

"What about me?" I called, slowing down and trying to catch my breath. I began walking over to Tap, Rain, and Rekt. Rektway had tagged Rainway, who had begun raging. Tap and Rekt burst into laughter. As I noticed why they were laughing, I started laughing as well.

"Ay, you guys laughing at Rain without me?" The fifth and final member of our friend group emerged from the bushes. His name was TanqR. Turns out he'd been hiding instead of running, which was actually pretty smart, now that I think of it.

"OH, SHUT UP!" Rain shouted angrily. "I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TAGGED! REKTWAY TARGETED ME!"

"Whattt??" Rekt exclaimed, confused. "I targeted you? How?!"

"YOU WENT FOR ME INSTEAD OF BANDITES!" Rain accused.

"Hey, hey, it's just a game," I pointed out, "a game of tag no less."

"True, true." TanqR agreed. He may seem chill here, but he's actually the most competitive out of all of us.

"Why don't we go get lunch?" I suggested. "Then, we can play some paintball later."

"Sounds good." TanqR said.

"Okay." Rain replied.

"Fine with me." Rekt agreed.

"Sure." Tap added.

"I know a good café near here we could go to." Tap offered.

"Lead the way." I said.

We walked down the streets at a fairly slow pace, just chatting about recent events in our life, school drama, and some other stuff.

I brought up the topic of paintball, one of our favourite things to play as a group. Everyone instantly joined in on the conversation, even Tap, who hadn't spoken much.

Suddenly, I felt a hand grab onto my arm. I was yanked into an alleyway. I heard unfamiliar voices whispering to each other. However, as my rapidly pounding heart sped up in fear, the voices began to become harder to hear.

"HELP!" I shouted. "SOMEONE HELP ME!"

I heard all footsteps stop. Tap called my name. Rekt and TanqR quickly caught onto what had happened, and spun towards the opening to the alleyway. I could hardly see them do so, as I was being choked by my kidnappers behind me. My vision began to go dark.

( - TapWater POV - )
I saw Bandites get dragged down the alleyway by two shady, hooded people. TanqR and Rektway were the first to run after him—right down the dark alleyway. Me and Rainway ran after them, with Rain cursing under his breath and muttering to himself. I tried to ignore him.

"AY, GET BA—" TanqR's voice was cut off as he rounded the corner—which most likely led to another alleyway—and disappeared from my line of sight. Rektway screamed as he too skidded around the corner and vanished. Rainway immediately rushed after Rektway, then shouted in surprise. I stopped uncertainly. What do I do?? My friends all just...well...disappeared, or even got kidnapped! There's no way I'm going around that corner. I—I have to go tell everyone about this. I spun around and reluctantly left the alleyway.

Sorry, Bandites, TanqR, Rektway, and Rainway. I wish I could've saved you guys.

( - TanqR POV - )
I woke up in some weird, metal...gun range? What the hell?! I swear I was just in an alleyway, running after Bandites until...I was knocked out. I was knocked out. OH. OHHHHHH.

I stood up and took a deep breath, glancing around for any exits. I noticed that I was completely alone—not even with Bandites, Rekt, Rain, or Tap. Where was everyone? What was I supposed to do? Heck, where even am I??

"Hello, TanqR," an unfamiliar voice spoke up. A person in a robotic-like suit entered the room through...through what? They kinda just appeared. Huhhhhh??

Quick A/N here: BY ROBOTIC SUIT, I DON'T MEAN AN IRON MAN SUIT. IT'S NOT PGHL. IT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE ROLVE DEVS. NOT PGHLFILMS/LEGO. JUST TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. IF IT'S LEGO, I'LL DESCRIBE HIM AS "RIPOFF IRON MAN." JUST HAD TO BE CLEAR.
Back to the oneshot.

"Who is you?" I demanded.

"I'm one of the mods, aka moderators. You, as well as your three other friends, will be going through some aim training. The other mods saw potential in you and your friends, so we decided to bring you guys in here to not waste that potential."

"Whaaaaaaaat??" I was confused.

"Welcome...to Arsenal."

IT'S SHORT, I KNOW
SORRY LOL

On a more serious note, I'll probably end up writing more to the Arsenal-related stuff, cause I like the concept and such. Oh, and finally, another oneshot with Bandites in it lol. He deserves better honestly—

ANYWAYS, I'MA SLEEP NOW CAUSE I'M TIRED
AND IT'S ALMOST 1AM
