Super Soaker Warrior - A Day in the Life

It all started on Last Saturday, July 15th, 2000. At around noontime, I received a call from my Good'ol pal Fuzz. (An original C-WSLer, who has been retired from fighting since 1994.) I was in my usual, down and out, "Haven't had a waterfight in 2 weeks" mood, and was quite surprised to find out that for once somebody wanted to have a Water Fight around here that WASN'T me... BlackWolf was out with other matters(Not to mention an Infected toe that's kept him sidelined for a month now), we couldn't get ahold of TKD-Warrior, Goliath was at work, so we only were able to get Me and Him together for a Battle. Then I said "Hey, What about Weasel? He might be interested in Joining us.." So Fuzz gave Weasel(Another WSLer from 1994) a call, and sure enough he was up for the challenge. We all gathered at my house at about an hour after that, we talked for a while about what was going on, then we headed to my Basement to put together an Arsenal.

Since, of the 3 guys involved, I was the only one with any Super Soakers at all, I let them sort through my 16 gun collection to see what they'd like to use. If they had come to me like this a year ago, I would have told them to get lost, but this year, now that I have 5 CPS class weapons, I'm not too worried. Although I told them my MonsterXL and CPS2500 were off limits. Here's what each of us took with us.

SSW
CPS 1500
SC 500

Fuzz
CPS 1000
XXP 175

Weasel
CPS 1700
XP 40
XP 220

(The reason I said the 2500 and the MXL was off limits was because The 2500 was recently repaired and the nozzle could fall off again, thus losing parts, and the MXL was much too big to carry down there and way too expensive to risk damaging - although I regret bringing the MXL now)
 

As we made our way outside with the large quantities of Super Soakers, we all decided that we should go down to the beach to hunt for Prey. Meenans Cove (Pronounced "MeeAnns") is a Beach that lies less than a Kilometer away, a hop skip and a jump away from my place, and also a busy place in the Summer. So naturally, Beach + People = Super Soakers. We all piled into Weasels Car (Too lazy to walk) and drove down. When we got there, it was a funny Sight to see the three of us loading up on Very Serious water weaponry by the trunk of the car, then proceeding to the beach itself - watched by a good deal of the people passing by. It depressed me to find that nobody on the Beach had a Super Soaker, (although that could have been because they saw us coming and decided to hide it before getting shot), so to make use of our current situation, we decided to play the prank of a lifetime...

Weasel's little sister works as a LifeGuard at the beach, she was about to go on duty. Weasel told us about his Idea to decimate the dryness on his Sibling LifeGuard, saying that "Once she's on the Chair, she can't leave"... She emerged from the back room of the LifeGuard supply station in the Beach House, saw us, and immediately ran back in. Peeking out every once in a while to see if we had left. I think the funniest thing of the day would have to be that the Head LifeGuard was cheering us on as we stalked our prey. We walked up a trail through the trees to the Wharf, to waste some time and make her think we've either left or have no interest anymore. Somebody offered me 5$ to shoot another guy for him, then Laughed and said Never mind. We decided to head back for the Car, but stopped at the edge of the Gravel parking lot. We surveyed the beach for a while and saw Weasel's Sister cautiously making her way to the LifeGuard Chair.

We waited for when it was too late for her to make a full retreat to the safety of the beach house before launching our attack. One by One, 1st Weasel, then Fuzz, then Me, ran down the enbankment onto the beach and each sent a barrage of wet ammo at her once dry back. By the time we had gotten there she was cornered between us and the base of the Chair. It was a real nice three pronged attack, BOOM BOOM BOOM... Once we had made our initial run, we turned around and wasted the rest of our shots on her. She ran back to the Beach house to get dried off after that event.

We high-fived each other then walked back to find that one of the workers at the Beach house had gotten some pictures of the attack on a Disposable Camera. I'd like to scan those. We looked at our guns to find that we each had a little over a half a tank left. Then we thought "Well, she's gotta come back out sometime..." We stayed by the Beach house and waited for her to emerge from behind the scenes again, as she walked back out, she saw us, then walked back in... We got wise of this Idea and hid behind each corner of the Beach house, out of sight. We saw her then make her way toward the Chair - again, then released another attack run. We made the same triple-volley attack as last time, but this time we got in a little closer, I pretty much stopped beside her and emptied the rest of my 1500... In the meantime, we were getting our pictures taken by Beach House personnel >:)...

We took a break to talk to a few people around... By the time we had gotten back the head LifeGuard was talking to Two police officers (Thankfully not looking for us :P), Weasel's Sister in a chair off to the side drying off, again. I pumped up my (Empty) 1500 and pointed it at her, frantically she pointed at the Police officers beside her, so I pulled the trigger. The look on her face was priceless as nothing but air came at her.

Deciding that we had had enough of Dive Bomb attacks for the day, Me and Fuzz headed up to the Car and grabbed the Smaller guns. I grabbed my 500, Fuzz grabbed the 40 and the 220. Then we walked over towards the wharf where Weasel (Still carrying my 1700) intended to confront us. I told them that I didn't really want to go for a swim with any of my guns, so me and Fuzz ran around the wharf structure after Weasel. Fuzz attacked me at one point and got me trapped between him and Weasel. Realizing that Weasel was carrying a much bigger gun than I was, I charged Fuzz - which I had the advantage over. Fuzz persisted in attacking me, I yelled at him "What the heck are you fighting me for? He's got the bigger gun!" And so we both turned on Weasel.

I attacked Weasel as he tried to get a refill from the beach water, he ran off towards Fuzz on the other end, then fell backwards into the Water. Weasel works as a Diver, so we weren't really woried about him... He emerged from under the wharf and fired at us, from dry land, I sprinkled water on his head as he came up, and easily dodged his shots as he frantically fired back. Fuzz tried to attack him from above on the wharf, It was funny to watch Fuzz Dance around on the wharf as Weasel fired straight up from below him throught the boards of the platform. Weasel went under again, and Fuzz took off like a Scared Rat towards the car. Weasel came up for Air, attacked, looked around and asked "Where'd Fuzz go?". I thought about telling him where he went, but decided to play with him. "He went into the water to outflank you!, Watch out!" As he dove under again, I blasted out of there without sparing any rubber.

By the time I had caught up with Fuzz he was trying to make a gettaway from the car with my CPS 1500... "Oh no you don't, that one's mine.." I said as I grabbed it from him, but he wouldn't let go... We ended up getting into a good wrestle for it until Fuzz grabbed my SC 500's pump handle and tried to bend it until I stopped fighting for it. I gave in, he put the 1500 down, I picked it up and put the 500 down, and before I could start on my way back to the wharf, he was attacking me with the SC500... There is no worse feeling than an empty or broken gun. I got him into a stand-off, at close range an Air-blast from a 1500 is quite dangerous. But it didn't turn out to be much help. the Trunk of the car was still open, I looked in and saw the XXP 175. But unfortunately, me and my big mouth had to ask "Is that XXP 175 still full?". So I ended up grabbing a now empty SC 500 against a fully loaded XXP 175. Smooth move. I ended up standing there and taking it.. "Okay, you got me, that's enough..."

By the time the XXP 175 was depressurized, Weasel was making his way back to the Car. I grabbed the 1000 out of the trunk while nobody was looking and emptied the tank on Fuzz for payback. We all piled into the Car when somebody said "Drive-By Shooting". I grabbed the 1700 from Weasel and hopped into the back seat of the Car beside Fuzz(who had pumped the 175 back up), and rolled the windows down all the way. We drove out to the wharf and turned the car around there, on the way out we ran into somebody from up my street who was headed out to the beach, so we shot him and stopped to talk to him. Then on our way back to my house, we went up into my subdivision (Spotted a CPS 1500 on somebodys front lawn :) ), and found another target, (who was also headed to the beach).

And with our busy day done, we headed back to my house and called it a day... A "wet" day.
