68 Laser Tag Part I
Nari was visibly upset after finding Sakura's panties in Alex's car, but Alex did not let that get to him. Instead, he forcefully grabbed hold of the girl's hand and led her inside the facility, where the two of them would play a game of laser tag.
Knowing that Nari was the competitive type, Alex had gone out of his way to design the date in a way that would allow them to compete. Nari, of course, did not even realize this, and instead tried to rip her hand away from Alex's, but he simply spun her into his arms, and mocked her while she seethed in fury.
"Oh? What's this? Are you trying to run from me, my little Nari?"
This caused the girl to bite Alex's forearm as if she were a cat, to which he simply chuckled before releasing his grip over her.
"Fine… Fine… We'll see how you struggle in vain at the end of the night!"
After saying this, Alex approached the counter, where he purchased two tickets for the laser tag arena, along with any other expenses that were necessary. Which he and Nari then got dressed in the appropriate gear.
Nari had a competitive smirk on her pretty face as she boldly challenged Alex in front of all the other people who would be in the arena with them.
"You're going down!"
Alex simply chuckled and shook his head, as he responded to Nari's challenge with a bold claim.
"You think so? Well, out of the two of us, I'm the only one here with any actual combat experience. So I hope you can perform better than the North Koreans!"
Nari had no idea what Alex meant by this, and simply scoffed as she rolled her eyes, thinking the man was making things up to make himself sound like a badass.

Soon enough, the group of people who were partaking in the match entered the laser tag Arena, where they all began to "fight" to see who was the winning team. While Alex could simply look at his heroine tracker on his minimap to determine Nari's position, he decided that wouldn't be any fun, and thus turned off his mini map.
Instead, he began to coordinate with his team, assuming the position of leader, as he attempted to lead them all to victory. After all, they had heard his boast and wanted to see if Alex knew what he was talking about. Thus, Alex called out to his fellow red team members and pointed in a direction for the group to hunker down.
"You three, go center, and hold the positions. The rest of you are on me. We are pushing right!"
After saying this, the red team members did as Alex commanded, and quickly hid behind cover, waiting for the enemy to reveal themselves. This, of course, happened in the very next moment, because the blue team was completely uncoordinated in their attacks, and were all running across the arena as if they were all Rambo.
Which of course resulted in at least five of the blue team members walking straight into the defended position, in the center of the Arena, where they were tagged before they could even find cover. Meanwhile, Alex led a team through the right pathway, and circled around the blue team, where they caught them with their pants down. Tagging another three members. The rest were skulking around the arena, searching for targets.
Alex figured they had gone through the left path, and immediately led his forces back around to reinforce the center position, which was still being held by the red team.
"On me! We're going to cut off intercept the blue team before they can attack the center!"
The red team did as Alex said and followed him through a shortcut of the Arena, which thought exposed themselves to enemy fire, was safe because the blue team had already lost the majority of their team in the opening moment of the game.
Surely enough, Alex found the remaining members of the blue team other than Nari attempting to flank the red team members who were holed up in the center. Once more, catching the enemy from behind, Alex and his team opened fire, and tagged out the last of the blue team members.
Or at the very least, all except for one.
Little did anyone realize that Nari was hiding in the arena, where she waited for the opportune moment to strike at Alex. Seeing how only Nari was left, Alex split his team into five groups of threes, and told them to patrol the Arena. There was one last hostile remaining, and they needed to find her.
Thus, it was now a game of cat and mouse.
---
Nari was amazed at how quickly Alex had rallied his team to defeat her own. Most of the players were kids, teens, and young adults, none of which had any military service record. Yet, they followed Alex's movements and commands without question, expertly making their way through the Arena, and ambushing the blue team where they least expected it.
If she wanted to defeat that bastard, it meant she had to defeat his entire team by herself. However, luckily for her, they had begun to move in groups of threes. Which, if she got the drop on them, would allow her to pick them off team by team.
Nari hopped out of the crater she was hiding in before silently stalking her way towards the nearest red team squad. Where she noticed they were all facing the same direction, which was in front of themselves, while standing side by side without the slightest bit of situational awareness.
Thus, she aimed down the sights of her laser gun, and tagged all three of them before they knew what had happened. Where she then fled from the scene, and behind cover, while they complained about their loss.
"God dammit!"
"What the hell happened?"
"Did you see him?"
"No!"
With a confident smirk on her face, Nari made her way through the Arena, ambushing each team individually when they least expected it. Until finally, only Alex's squad remained.
---
Alex was aware that his numbers were dropping like flies, but as someone who actually had some degree of combat training, he kept his head on a swivel, and his laser gun raised, he did not trust any of his squad members to cover the rear, and thus he covered it, while the other two squad members took point with their guns lowered, as if they were going through a convenient scroll.
This caused Alex to scoff, as he tapped them on the shoulder before commenting on their carelessness.
"Keep your heads on a swivel! We don't know where the bitch is! And keep your weapons ready! Fucking amateurs!"
This caused the two girls he was with to blush. Clearly this handsome foreigner was taking this too seriously, but they did not know why.
It was not until Alex realized they were the last three members of his team, that he understood these two teenage girls were a liability, and thus while they were talking about something pointless, he snuck off, to watch and wait for Nari's arrival.
Yes, he was using his squad mates as bait. And sure enough, Nari took it, where she got behind the two girls and tagged them before they could realize what was happening. Just when Nari realized there were only two of them, and Alex was missing, she felt herself thrown to the floor with a hip throw, knocking her weapon away from her.
She then saw Alex on top of her in the mounted position, where he placed the muzzle of his laser gun towards the sensor on her chest. There was a sadistic smile on the man's face as he announced that she had lost.
"Game over!"
Nari, however, did not admit defeat, and batter the man's weapon away from him, while latching onto his harm, and sweeping him off of her with an upa escape. She then sprinted towards her weapon and rolled towards the ground while firing at Alex.
Alex, of course, recovered from his reversed position and got behind cover before he could get tagged. He had been careless, forgetting that Nari was a Judo black belt for a second, and thus had some understanding of the ground game.
Knowing this, he was much more careful as he popped his head out from under cover and fired at Nari, who ducked just in time to avoid the shot. She then taunted him with a wide smile on her pretty face for utterly failing to achieve a victory when he had the opportunity to do so.
"The game is only over when I say it is over! You should have fired your shot while you had the chance! I didn't know you were such a pussy!"
Alex sneered when he heard this, and sprinted from behind his cover to another position where Nari quickly fired at him, however he was too fast for her, and she did not manage to hit his sensors before he got behind another piece of cover and returned fire at her.
"You got lucky, bitch! I fucking underestimated you! That won't happen again!"
Meanwhile, the already defeated members of red and blue team gawked at the intense form of competition that had just started between Nari and Alex, as well as the vulgarity of their insults towards one another.
It became abundantly clear that despite being down to only two competitors; the match had only just begun.
