Chapter 59

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Ana's team had gotten better as they able to move, but still healing on their beds. Emilio and Lucy had brought Chinese food for them as they were happy to eat outside food.

"Aw, man, just smelling it makes my mouth water up." Said Yuan.

"Thank you, you two." Said Virika.

"Mm." Emilio responded as he nodded.

"Hey, sis. Eggroll?" Lucy asked Zoe as she held a bag to her.

"I love you so much." Said Zoe as she grabbed it.

"Um, is Daniel awake?" Lucy asked.

"We don't know. He hasn't eaten or even tried talking to us." Said Virika.

"I'm worried about him." Said Zoe.

"Can you blame him, though? Out of all of us, he cared about…Ana the most." Said Yuan as his eyes watered.

Everyone was silent, until Emilio walked over to Daniel as they watched him. Emilio walked around the curtains to see Daniel still bedridden but awake. He was looking outside the window that was next to him. Emilio saw that his pillow looked wet and his eyes were swollen and red. Emilio walked over with some rice and placed it near Daniel's reach.

"D…Dun-yol…" Said Emilio.

Everyone was shocked to hear him trying to speak, while Daniel turned his head to him. Emilio placed his hand on his shoulder, while taking off his hood and the cloth covering his. Emilio had blue eyes and white hair tied in a small ponytail. Daniel then placed his hand on Emilio's hand as he teared up.

"I wasn't able to reach her." Daniel cried.

"You're not the only one." Said Virika as she was tearing up, while approaching Daniel's bed.

Everyone else walked over as they were crying as well. They were together as Daniel continued to cry on, while the others comforted him. Part 3- It would be hours later as Daniel was just eating rice, while Yuan was eating a lot.

"I was kind of expecting you to eat a lot." Said Yuan.

"I'm not that hungry." Said Daniel.

"But I think this is a good time to have a talk as a team. What are we going to do without…Ana." Said Virika.

"Well, obvious, you four need to recuperate. Mostly, you Daniel. So no funny business. Me and Emilio will take care of the hospital bills by doing small jobs. Even we aren't at 100%." Said Lucy.

"Mm." Emilio replied.

"But after we're able to leave here. Then what?" Zoe asked.

"We could retire." Said Yuan.

"Be serious. And we're not official hunters." Said Lucy.

"We could go our separate ways." Said Daniel as everyone paused.

"W-What?" Yuan responded.

"Let's face it. Ana was the reason this team worked. My temper. Yuan's carefreeness. Lucy's strict and inpatients. Emilio's lack of being able to talk. No offense." Said Daniel.

"Mm." Emilio responded as he shrugged.

"I can only see Virika taking over, since Ana wanted that. Zoe, you're not the type to take charge. And if you do take charge of the team, Virika. How long will it be before we tear each other apart?" Said Daniel.

"That was very analytical of you." Said Lucy.

"But he has a point." Said Virika.

"Ana knew how to keep us in check. And I can't see myself taking over." Said Virika.

"So what does that mean? Are we seriously going to break up the team?" Yuan asked as everyone was quiet.

"Don't get us wrong. I hate this idea. I do. But what other choice do we have?" Said Zoe.

"We can at least try! I refuse to do this! I…I don't want us to separate. You guys are all I have. I don't want to lose that." Yuan cried.

"You baboon…We might be separating. But that doesn't change the fact that we're family. That will always stay the same." Said Daniel.

"He's right." Said Virika.

"Mm." Emilio added.

"Then I guess…we're no longer a team then, huh?." Said Yuan.

"Yeah. But if you guys need help…I'll be there." Said Virika with her fist out.

"Same." Said Zoe as she did the same.

"Mm." Said Emilio as he did the same.

"Don't count me out." Said Lucy as she did as well.

"You guys better keep your promise." Said Yuan.

"I swear on Ana's name. I'll be there too." Said Daniel.

He put his fist out as well as time passed and it would be the next day. It was the six day and arena wasn't as full as before as Salem's side of the arena was emptier than before. Christine and Yuko noticed, while the girls, Abe and Lilith were surprised.

"Talk about lack of faith." Said Brooke.

"Damn. I just hope this doesn't get to the gang." Said Christine.

"I'm sure they're fine." Said Yuko.

Meanwhile, the gang saw the empty seats as they were surprised and not surprised at the same time, while Violet responded like normally.

"What the hell!?" Violet shouted.

"I don't know what I was expected." Said Marcus.

Back up with the others in the seat, Yuko looked at Christine as she looked great. She was glowing as Yuko looked a slightly jealous.

"So you and Isaac are a couple. Congrats." Said Yuko.

"Oh, thank you, Yuko! Who would've though, right?" Said Christine.

"Yeah, you're lucky. I knew letting you two walk together would've done something to help." Said Yuko.

"You did that on purpose?" Christine asked.

"Yeah. (AND I REGRET IT!)" Said Yuko.

"But why?" Christine asked.

"Because like you, I care about Isaac a lot. He's a big brother to me. We would train together a lot when he lived with me and my mother. He's the reason I got better. I would lose every time and I would always challenge him. He's been through a lot. I want to make sure he's happy. And from the time we've spent together. You're an awesome girl. And an angel if you will." Said Yuko.

"Thanks." Said Christine.

"It makes since that you two are meant for each other. So if you two end up together forever, look after my big bro for me, okay?" Said Yuko.

"Of course, I will." Said Christine.

"Also, I heard that you both did it. Be sure that he's grandmother doesn't find out." Said Yuko.

"I wish you could've warn me sooner." Said Christine as Yuko was surprised.

"Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen back to the Tournament Games! It's the six day, second to last of the games. And we have a challenge for our students. All of the challenge demanded our students physical abilities and skills. But today is all about the power of their brain!" Said Merlin.

We then see Garry, Scarlet and Jasper step up for Salem. Ava, Nora and Levi for Thunderbird. Alicia, Javier and Francisca for San Teresa. And for North Winchester, Faye, Patricia and Aidan. Suddenly, the arena floor opened as a platform rose up. In front of them was a small scale, but large labyrinth. It had for corners as starting points for each teams, while the center was the finish line. They approached their corner as there were three small wooden dolls that represented each member that participated.

"The students must make their way through the labyrinth, collecting keys that open certain doors and facing random monster. They must make their way around the labyrinth as quickly as they can and the first to reach the end, wins!" Said Merlin.

Scarlet, Garry and Jasper touched their own dolls as they morphed into small versions of themselves. Scarlet liked her and the others as they and the other students placed them down in the starting spot. Suddenly, all of the students froze and their minds were moved into the dolls as they were in the labyrinth.

"Holy crap!" Said Garry as he looked at himself.

"We're the doll!" Said Scarlet, joyfully.

"Let's just hope there aren't any termites." Said Jasper.

"All students are able to use their skills. So don't hesitate to use your abilities." Said Merlin.

Jasper walked over to a nearby wall and tried phasing through, but he couldn't as a spell was placed on the walls. But he made himself float as he was able to fly.

"Looks like I can't move through the walls. They're not making this easy on us." Said Jasper.

"At least you can fly." Said Scarlet.

"So did any one of you took a look at this maze?" Garry asked.

"Nope." Jasper and Scarlet replied.

"Alright. I guess we're going with the flow." Said Garry.

"Ready, students!? Go!" Merlin shouted.

The first door opened as all students ran off, Scarlet, Jasper and Garry ran together, Until they arrived at a room that had a door on the other side and a large wooden werewolf guarding it.

"A werewolf!" Said Scarlet.

"I got this!" Said Garry as he rana head.

Garry covered his arm in scales as he hurled his fist at it. But once his fist landed on the werewolf, Garry's wooden arm cracked. He punched the werewolf back, but Garry back off as his entire arm had a large crack.

"What the…!? I didn't even swing at full strength. Scarlet, do something!" Said Garry.

"I'll possess him to buy time!" Said Jasper.

Jasper flew into the werewolf and took control of it. But it struggled to gain back control as Scarlet pulled out her wand and used her magic to reverse the crack on Garry's arm.

"How come I got hurt and he didn't?" Said Garry.

"Didn't you listen? Merlin said this is a challenge of brains. So our fist aren't going to stop it. And this monsters weakness is easy to figure out. We need silver bullets or a blade that has silver in it." Said Scarlet.

Suddenly, a gun appeared in front of Scarlet and sword made of silver in front of Garry.

"Jasper get out!" Scarlet shouted.

Jasper did so as Scarlet aimed the gun at werewolf's head and fired. She hit it in the head as Garry ran in and swung the sword at the werewolf, slicing it in half. The werewolf fell on the ground, motionless as magic energy emitted out of it and formed into a key. The key flew into the door and unlocked. They all ran off through the door as they ran together.

"Alright!" Said Garry.

"It looks we just need to know their weakness." Said Jasper.

"And our knowing is rewarded. I think I'm going to like this game." Said Scarlet.
