Chapter 7:
.
Marilyn Fearstriker: "Now that everyone has gotten a card.... LET THE GAMES BEGIN! MOVE OUT!"
.
.
All participants then began jumping out of the jet one by one...releasing their parachutes into the air and getting ready for landing-
UPON ARRIVAL TO THE DEADMAN'S WONDERLAND FOREST-
.
Squad 1-
*THUMP!*
Antonio landed on a tree branch and fell off almost immediately.
.
Antonio Lucci: "*rubs head* "Ah shit…. I hit my head."
.
Trixie began glaring and prancing around.
Trixie Godstar: *excited* "Woah!!! This forest looks literally out of this world! All of these mana crystal clusters glowing and releasing energy into the air, puddles of mysterious liquid sparkling on the ground. The prettiest flowers I have ever seen...this feels like such a dream!"
.
Jason King: "We don't have time for your stupid shit right now…you can go sight-seeing how much you want on your own time...There is only ten minutes to settle in before she blows the war horn. Let's head South…."
.
.
Squad 14-
Jack Creed: "I know this would probably be a bit scary but just take a deep breathe, jump and release the parachute-"
.
Tom and Thomas did not listen to a word that came out of Jack's mouth...they instead latched onto him and jumped out of the jet together.
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: *screaming* "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
*THUMP!*
.
They landed safely...
.
Jack Creed: "You have exactly three seconds to get off of me…."
.
*Both Tom & Thomas still squeezing the life out of Jack*
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "Just a little longer please...it still feels like we are falling..."
.
Jack shoved them off and began searching himself frantically.
.
Jack Creed: *looking around* "Hey you guys...where the hell is the direction card???"
.
Thomas Creed: *struggling to read direction card* " I have the card brother... u…t….n…o…s.... we are supposed to head to the direction of UTNOS!"
.
Tom Creed: "You're looking at it upside down Thomas… it's HTOUS!"
.
Jack Creed: *sighs* "For the love of God...IT'S SOUTH!!!!! SOUTH!!!! S.O.U.T.H!!!"
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "Ohhhhhhhhh…" *Nods*
.
Jack Creed: " I think a blood vessel will burst inside of my head before this is all over...let's get going dumb & dumber…. we only have 10 minutes to scout for a sufficient starting point."
.
.
.
.
Squad 21-
*THUMP!*
They all landed....
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Sienna Mae: "Absolute Focus."
.
A glowing aura cloaked Sienna's body and a wave of energy was released throughout the forest.
.
Rue Nickels: "Hey Sienna…what is going on with you right now…?"
.
Sienna Mae: "When in this state, my senses are heightened, and I'm capable of detecting any movement within a five-mile radius."
.
Maia Chun: "That sounds like a free win to me...nobody is going to have the chance to catch us off guard now!"
.
Sienna Mae: "My ability should not be a reason to get relaxed or overly excited. Our direction is West. Let us get moving immediately."
.
.
Squad 34-
Aries Marie: "Alright fellas...on the count of three! One!"
.
Iris Leos: "Two!"
.
Charlie Vio: "Three!"
*WHOOOOOOOOSH!*
.
Iris, Aries & Charlie jumped out of the jet together.
.
Aries used the air pressure from her weapons to cushion the landing.
.
.
Charlie Vio: "That was absolutely insane Ari…"
.
Aries Marie: "Oh it was nothing. All I did was set these bad boys to maximum output to create a thrust….so when I enhance them with enough mana, all I had to do was aim downwards when we were approximately 3.6457893 kilometers from landing and fire an air pressured blast for 18.963820 seconds. It's basically like having a makeshift jet pack…"
.
Iris Leos: "Listen...you lost me at maximum output... but good job!"
.
Iris pats Aries on her head.
.
Iris Leos: "Anyways, what does the direction card say?"
.
.
Aries, Iris and Charlie began singing and rhyming together-
.
Aries Marie: "The card says we have to head to the East…."
.
Iris Leos & Charlie Vio: "Head to the East?"
.
Aries Marie: "It's really not that far if we just march to the beat…."
.
Iris Leos & Charlie Vio: "March to the beat?"
.
Aries Marie: "Swing your hands side to side and stomp with your feet!"
.
Iris Leos & Charlie Vio: "Stomp with our feet!"
.
Charlie Vio: "Just add a smile and this dance is pretty neat!"
.
Iris Leos & Aries Marie: "It's pretty neat!"
.
Charlie Vio: "I'm kind of hungry… does anyone have something to eat?"
.
Iris Leos & Aries Marie: "Something to eat??"
.
Iris Leos: "Oh wait...I do have quite a sweet treat!"
.
Aries Marie & Charlie Vio: "Quite a sweet treat!"
.
Charlie Vio: "It's a Peanut Butter Jelly Sandwich? That combo's elite!"
.
Iris Leos & Aries Marie: "Combo's Elite!"
.
Iris Leos: *looking around* "To who's ever watching us...you better retreat...."
.
Aries Marie & Charlie Vio: " Better retreat!"
.
Iris Leos: "Cause if you face us...we will put you to sleep."
.
Aries Marie & Charlie Vio: "Put you to sleep!"
.
Iris Leos, Aries Marie & Charlie Vio: " Because when we're together it's certain defeat...WHILE WE'RE MARCHING TO THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAST!!!!!!"
.
.
.
Squad 01-
Dashing through the southside of the forest.
.
*Antonio stops*
.
Antonio Lucci: *yawns* "I think this position is alright.… we have been on the move for the past five minutes. We need to spare some time to recruit…."
.
Trixie Godstar: "I don't understand...why do we need time to recruit?"
.
Jason King: "We are recruiting anyone outside of our squad who wants to complete a side mission of luring out participant #88: Iris Leos & participant #101: Charlie Vio... and keeping them distracted for a while. A bonus will be given to anyone who can bring us pencil #88 as well…."
.
Antonio swiftly grabbed Jason & Trixie, pulling them into a bush nearby....
.
Antonio Lucci: *whispers* "Just stay down...."
.
Trixie Godstar: *pokes Antonio* *whispers* "So what's going on??"
.
Antonio Lucci: " I sensed a vast amount of mana energy rapidly approaching our direction...no less than five squads."
.
Trixie Godstar: *Thoughts* "I greatly underestimated him...There is a vast difference in their skills and vigilance. I didn't expect any one of them to be-able to sense mana energy from that distance…much less possess the ability to discern it as well..."
.
Antonio Lucci: *whispers* "One squad just separated from the rest, and they are about to arrive here in a couple seconds."
.
Trixie Godstar: *peeking out the bush* "They're here..."
.
Jason King: "Let me speak to them. They are the three brothers from the Creed Family… a trainee unit formed directly under Marilyn Fearstriker's attack force. I think we've found the perfect people for this job."
.
Squad 14 has arrived.
.
Jason Creed: *wipes sweat* "Phewww. Seems like we're the first ones here guys…. Let's use a mana seal to mask our presence and pick off the other squads one by one…"
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: *cracks neck* "Sure thing brother."
.
Jack draws his muskets, points one at Jason and one in the direction of Trixie and Antonio.
.
Jason walks out of the bush with his hands in the air.
.
Thomas stoops down and points his ring to the ground.
.
Tom dashes to his side and Jason is now surrounded.
.
Jack Creed: "I suggest you come out before I pull the trigger."
.
*Antonio and Trixie coming out from the bush with their hands in the air*
.
Jack Creed: "Let's not waste any time-"
.
Trixie dashes behind Thomas, closing the distance in the blink of an eye and presses her dagger against his throat.
Trixie Godstar: *smiles* "Big brother...if you move even an inch... I'll take his head off."
.
Thomas Creed: *looking at Jack* *thoughts* "What should I do..."
.
Jack drops his muskets on the floor and puts his hands in the air.
.
Jack Creed: "Just relax. We surrender. I have all our pencils in the front pocket of that backpack over there…."
.
Jason King: "This girl is actually amazing.... *looks at Trixie* I'm beginning to like you."
.
Trixie Godstar: "Please don't...that sounds like a threat."
.
Antonio Lucci: "We don't need your pencils...all you need to do is keep participant #88 & participant #101 distracted while we head to the East...I paid someone to get intel and I've been told Squad 34 is headed there. When the game starts, they are planning to leave participant #04: Aries Marie to protect their pencils while participant #88 goes north & participant #101 goes south to retrieve points and head back to her..."
.
.
Jason King: "If you three are able to do this for us. You will be given $10,000 each…"
.
Jack Creed: "And all we have to do is hold them off for a little while?"
.
Jason King: "That's all. No strings attached."
.
Jack Creed: "Alright. We're in....can she just release my brother now... please."
.
Trixie releases Thomas from her grasp.
.
Trixie Godstar: *licks the blood off of her dagger* "You taste pretty good…"
.
.
Jack and Jason shook hands.
.
.
The Creed brothers then dashed away. Agreeing on Jack heading South towards Charlie Vio (Participant #101) and Tom & Thomas heading North towards Iris Leos (Participant #88).
.
.
.
Jason King: "We will head East at the sound of the war horn."
.
Antonio Lucci: "Understood. All of our plans have already been set in motion...therefore it should only be smooth sailing from here on out...."
.
Trixie Godstar: *smiles* "I am actually heading to the West when the war horn blows. I have a particular interest in that girl who fainted from the test on the 20th floor. HAVE FUN AND BE SAFE GUYS!!!! Don't cause too much trouble without me! BYEEEEEE!!!"
.
Trixie waves to her teammates then prances away.
.
.
.
MEANWHILE
Squad 34-
SOMEWHERE LAYING DOWN BY A TREE IN THE EAST
Charlie Vio: *burps loudly* "Damn. I am so full right now. Those sandwiches were exquisite…"
.
Iris Leos: *burps louder* "I feel you on that brother…"
.
Aries Marie: *shakes Charlie and Iris* "Guysssssssssssssss. Come on, what's the plan???? We have 5 minutes left till the game starts!!!!!"
.
Iris Leos: "Okay okay okay…. how about this. I head to the North and Charlie heads to the South. We have a friendly competition to see who out of the both of us can collect the most pencils as possible without getting tagged and if trouble happens to arise, we have these GPSs you gave us so we can contact each other…... how does that sound?"
.
*Charlie & Iris looking at each other*
.
Charlie Vio: *whispers* "You feel that to right?"
.
Iris Leos: *whispers* "Yeah..."
.
Iris Leos & Charlie Vio: "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!"
.
Aries Marie: *Confused*
.
Charlie Vio: *laughs* "We should probably let her hold on to our pencils, so we won't break or lose them…."
.
Aries Marie: *stretches out her hand* "Gimme." (Give me)
.
Iris and Charlie handed over their pencils....
.
Aries Marie: *pulls their cheeks* "Listen here...I need you two back in one piece so be careful!!!!! Capiche?"
.
Iris Leos & Charlie Vio: "Ai ai captain…"
.
.
Squad 21-
SOMEWHERE IN THE WEST OF DEADMAN'S WONDERLAND-
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*Whistling*
*LOUD SCREAMS*
"HELPPPPPP!!!"
*LOUD GUNSHOTS*
*BANG!*
"Wait please...you can have all of our pencils and even the ones we collected from other participants too..."
Trixie Godstar: *thinking* "Mmmmmmm nah. What's the fun in winning that way?"
.
*BOOM! *
*Blinding Lights*
She throws a grenade and wipes out an entire squad instantly.
.
.
Trixie Godstar: *smiles* "This is so exciting! I love playing hide and seek...especially when our lives are on the line."
.
Trixie inches closer to Sienna, Mai and Rue as she continues prancing through the forest.
.
.
.
Sienna Mae: "Guys hold on...whatever ever you do...don't move."
.
.
Whistling Gradually Getting Louder
.
Menacing Aura
.
Intense Bloodlust
.
Immense Mana Energy
.
Trixie Godstar: *smiles* "I know you guys can hear me so....1.2.3.4.5. Do you prefer to die by a grenade, gun or knife?"
