Just then as shinya and Liz were truly grasping the situation of these dead bodies hanging they heard a voice almost lady like or a robot shinya couldn't tell what exactly it was. It just had a clear message for the participants. ONLY 21 COMPETITORS REMAIN. Said the voice it could be heard all around the wasteland wich was probably about a 10 mile by 10 mile area it actually seemed smaller then you would think.
Though this message established something every time someone died it would tell us or if multiple people died at a time it would tell us how many of us are left. It did seem like a hint to the competitors but also something to show just how far along the game had truly gone. If you would even call it a game afterall this was peoples lives.although shinya had no time to think about this he had to get him and Liz to safety and only then did he notice a cave in the distance." Here grab my hand Liz we're going to make a run for that cave okay?" Said shinya trying to take control of the situation a situation beyond helpless." Okay…" said Liz barely able to stand still struggling to grasp what had happened in front of their eyes. Immediately with as much force as they could.
They ran!! They ran as fast as they could the soles of their shoes almost gliding them like it seemed. Dodging bullets and going against the hard sand like substance on the ground almost like dirt but not completely. It was almost like clay with the ground a dark orange color though that didn't matter right now. Shinya and Liz were trying to run to survival with every shot ringing in their ears and death all around them as people were fighting around them with swords and katanas."20 COMPETITORS REMAIN." Said the voice again startling and messing with shinya and Liz's brain even more but shinya had to be strong he lead the way with sweat going down his face his throat closing up and making it hard to breathe from all the smoke in the air now from the bullets.
Their ears constantly ringing and their hearts on a tangent running amok as their hearts ran as fast as they could with their feet. Every born and muscle and fiber in their body projecting them forward to make it forward to some safety. Please.please.please. Nearly there!!! Though shinya as he was just steps away from the caves entrance. With just one one one more step he had made it to the entrance with him guarding shinya right behind him. Keeping her close to him like a guard and a guard dog." Well it seems you made it out of there alive I'm surprised." said a voice a voice that he could recognize it was July his classmate." July you made it out thank God!!!" Said shinya
Only then did he notice the other three people around him two girls and one boy"hello my name is Kama and this is Dorene and sirene their my sisters. All three of us are going to make it out alive would you like to join us July disagreed just wanting to not get shot in the bloodbath outside."said Kama, kama was about 5ft10 with red hair and a regular looking face but a stern appearance and big eye brows and light brown eyes even reddish eyebrows. While his sisters were way smaller almost 5ft tall both long dark brown hair and blue eyes and braces and cute outfits to go with them probably not realizing that the outfit they have on might be their last. Though Kama decided to reach out a hand towards shinya and Liz."hey brother we never agreed to work with them!!" Said the sisters in unison almost twin like. Thought it seemed like the sisters opinion didn't matter as in a situation like this they would need other comrades for as many possibilities of victory as possible.
"I have a theory regarding this game I think that if all players agree to stop the game then it must stop and we won't have to continue the game." Said Kama trying to come to a conclusion of how to end the game on his own consciousness. Though to shinya and especially to July this just didn't make that much sense. Afterall only one person can qualify for the actual tournament they said this so why would they change the rules. If they did change it for multiple of them just how many could it be or under what circumstances isn't this being recorded live and broadcasted to the world afterall. Won't that ending result in massive lost of sales or engagement it just didn't make sense honestly his theory was full of holes though shinya didn't want to point out these obvious flaws.
" even if we could end this game or tournament by all of us agreeing what happens if one person disagrees do we keep going? Or what if the creators say our opinion dosent matter we have to keep fighting, your logic is so full of holes it's complete and utter dogshit Kama." Said July pointing out the obvious to everyone else clearly showing Kama wasn't the smartest or most thoughtful person here." Well fine!! Though otherwise they're really will only be one of us left! Look why don't we establish a plan let's figure out everyone's weapon first right." Said Kama trying to unite everyone together. Kama went first showing his jack hammer and his sisters then showing their shears and pair of sciccors afterall not every weapon was super big or flashy some were small but effective in this game." What about you two?" Said Kama reluctantly shinya and Liz told them about his shield and her lancer." Well lastly what about you?" Said Kama to July"I don't have to tell you anything"said July clearly trying to hide his.
" well fine everyone I think we need to make this choice though do we work together or not!?" Said Kama this was the choice that shinya had to make for himself and for Liz should he afterall work with this guy and try and win the game with them or not.
