Chapter 2: Presentable Start-up
*Think fast!*
---?
Just as i knew it i mwas greeted with a brick to my face. Gah it hurts but my pure focus won't allow me to feel that pain.
The impact from that brick he threw at him it did not caused him to flinch nor even react in the slightest pain. He only responded with a more focused sinister look as he replied with a icicle to his abdomen.
"An eye for an eye huh?"
"Theres more surprises to come!"
I said telling him that message, he leaps away from me as he two people in suits appeared. I think he can some them at will.
He's gonna try blasting me again. He does know my ice can stop bullets.
He scoffed as his ice wall blocked the bullets shot at him, come on like did they learned their lesson already? It's about time they change their tactic.
- - -
This guys ice. It won't let my bullets penetrate through. His ability allows him to control and do stuff with ice. It checks out he can pack them and make it a hard solid material.
Guess i have to use this bad boy.
"Your thoughts can wait! Wait till you see this hunk of junk!"
- - -
By junk what does he mean by---
*BLAST*
"A rocket launcher?! That's even more cheating!"
"I said this is tag with more steps! Now tag me!"
This bozo's playing by the first trick on the book.
* FLASH *
Sweeping a huge wave of ice. It flashed through bringing a blinding light on it's presentation. Breaking and penetrating through the side of the wall it eventually hit.
He still dodged the attack but i lunged at him, he kicked me away but i managed to roll back and resumed my fighting stance.
He got up and stared at me looking as if he's having fun. NO i should be the one having fun. I am winning this for sure. I am! Truly! This little game of tag will end with more chaos than what was started before.
Even so i'm going all out!
- - -
Heh-heh. I'm gonna win this game for sure!
that kick i gave him in the face would surely bring him to a daze and---
The floors now covered in ice...
It's slippery? Crap gotta stay balanced---
*Crash*
He crashed through that ice sweep he tried to kill me with!
Atleast he managed to get out of the way before he got hit.
This guy want's to go out? Thats too early for that! I might as well summon some more.
My bodyguards will keep me safe and ensure me this win! Hah-hah-HAHAH!
Crowds of individuals in suits which are called body guards surround the place guns in stock, pistols, and sub-machine guns locked in place aiming at the person who slides around on ice paths. His speeds really out of the ordinary also jarringly fast. I can't lose sight of his, even noting how he's even
Blocking my site with the mist that he shrouds himself with.
- - -
He spawned in more huh? So thats his ability. I wonder what his role might be?
Might as well ask him before i end hi---
Crap their gonna fire!
*SHWAAP*
he spreads icy mist, as a high rate covering the battle ground and blocking anybodies eye sight to those who dare aim at him.
He speeds around sliding on the icy floor he covered in, as he observantly looked at the ground as he slid on the high ends of the walls suppoeted by his summoned ice.
Not there, not there, not there, he could be close. He could be close. He could be---
There!---
*TATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT--- Tch Gun fires blocking my eardrums! This bastard must to sabotaging me in a huge way! --- ATATATATATATATATATATATATATAATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA-- CRACK --ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT-- SHIT! it's about time i wipe them out, before this gets annoying --
*CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* -- Serves you all right! If your gonna blast me holes with those bullets i'm retaliating with barrages of ice projectiles at your puny sunglass faces! --- *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH* *CRASH*
---....
- - -
---!
The sound of multiple projectiles of ice crashing! He must be retaliating
-- SHHHCK ---
Crap! One of it grazed my left shoulder!
I'll fire back at him! Hm? Why aren't any of you firing? It's a direct concious order? No wait...
Their all dead.
The eye blocking mists finally clears away revealing the multiple mutilated corpses of the body guards whom have fought till their end by teal head's icey attacks. Although they aren't even concious beings. It's quite the hustle to summon them at a cornered time like this, speaking of cornered.
"Guess this is the final part!"
"Just the two of us. No more of those men in. Black you bring out."
"Bodyguards"
"Bodyguards? You must have some sort of role as a dictator or something? Are you hitler?"
"The hell makes you assume that?! Its The--
"Save your introductions when i'm gonna end you. Let's finish this right here right now!"
"Ho-ho! Cheeky one are you!"
"You calling me a monkey?"
*TATATATATATATATATATATATATATAT*
"Make that an endangered monkey"
He dodged my attack and came up with a good counter to his own insult. Wow really, anyways time to end this.
*SMACK*
"Yeah. Pretty obvious i'd notice that one from behind"
He swiftly took out the bodyguard i summoned right behind him?!
- - -
Time to make my move.
I thought to myself, casually throwing in a huge ice flash, blasting him to the otherside of this fort. Breaking a wall to the outside with him alongside it.
I better catch up to him to end this qith my bare hands. I sleighed through with my ice i leapt out of the huge gaping hole all to the outside of this ruins. There i see him aiming a sub-machine gun and carefully tracking my every move. He starts firing ratatatatatatatatatatata those blasting bullets narrowingly hitting the ice i was sleighing on but none have managed to hit me. So i decided to jump down. And face him once more.
- - -
There he is! What's he gonna do now huh!
Did the shots i gave him gonna do me something--- he stopped. Looks like.
He's jumping down!
Dashing away from impact zone the moment he met face with the ground a small wide area blasted with dirt flying everywhere
he landed one foot kneeled as he stood up. Staring at me he smiled and yelled.
"Let's finish this! You me one on one!"
Now your talking!
I leapt at him, he tried grabbing me with his arms but i quickly cutted him off with my cape. I jumped backward dodging another blow he was going to do. If he touches me this game of tag will end. Even if i did touched him it won't count i'm wearing gloves anyway. It has to be bare skin, for christ sake that got me dying in laughter.
Next then we were going all out on hand combat, he was striking me on all sides but i'm always able to dodge these attacks with ease. This is fair, easy and fair. Just two guys fighting fair no abilities. Just their own physical strength, wait? Is he trying to.
I dodged the blow after that and *SHATTER* , an ice shot? Really? Guess i have to counter that,No worries i'll just counter that with the gun i have on hand, this next shots going to block my sight but it's better to be safe than be soggy.
*BLAST*
*SHATTER*
"Using the gun huh? I'm feeling fair. How about we fight this head on, me, you for real!"
He yelled with anticipation his sinister smile as he gestured his two hands to fight him on, i could see his face as the mist from that ice shot resonated between us
"Bring it on"
He added still gesturing me to come at him.
I smiled, dashing towards him ready to give it all i got.
- - -
That's right! Let's end this, once and for all and see who's winning this. He won't expect this at all! Ha! This is the last trick i've got up my sleeve.
- - -
I'll just blast him with a rocket the first thing i make contact with his body, it's so easy!
- - -
Heh-heh-heh
- - -
His face is close. Prepare to become the chunks of flesh you once were! Gahah-AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH---
*BOOM*
----?!
What... The.... That last moment he dissapeared what in tarnation---
"Tag"
He felt a slight touch on his back. How is this possible how was he outsmarted like this? How did this come to it? How. Just how. HOW?! HOW?!
he tumbles onto the ground, he attempts to stand up but was stopped by an ice shrapnel shot right next to him indicating he must stay down.
- - -
Easy peasy! I won! Can't believe he fell for it!
I made ice that clear it reflected me from behind him? Come to think of it, it actually looks very real if you see it first time. It's like i was actually there but really i was behind him the whole time from that final scene.
Anyhow that warning shot will pin him there might as well take him down this instant.
" You won huh? Outsmarted me."
"Just testing out some stuff"
I grew closer on him, preparing to do the final blow.
"Really? Let me guess. You used reflective ice just to trick me?"
"You realized that faster than the average person. Thats quite remarkable."
"Of course, you might as well end it here and then!"
He smiled as he knelt down. Eyes closed
"With pleasure!"
I responded with the sinister look with wide eyes---
*Crumbling*
What's that sound? Oh crap---
Together They fell victim to the wall, as it fell through crushing the two of us and ending this little game we have caused.
*RUMBLING*
"GAH-Damn that was fucking insane...."
He said panting in satisfaction as he stood up to sweep the debris off his cape and clothing
"Unexpected as hell."
I laid there still covered by debris from that wall that fell.
"You getting up or something?"
"Just in a minute"
I got up now facing him, up close. His face it looks youthful just like mine. Were at the same age group by the looks of it. Aside from the features i noticed from his choice of clothing we are infact of the same age group.
"So what now?"
He said looking at me satisfied.
"I was gonna kill you, might as well do it now"
I proceeded to manifest an ice spike through him---
[No using abilities before the game starts]
[The act of killing is strictly prohibited before the game starts]
"just as expected"
My questions were right, we can't kill each other until this game really starts. That voice seeping on the two of us. I can't hear any voice but for some reason i can sense the message it's giving us. If i kill him right here i don't think it will allow me to.
"You knew that? Don't you?"
His face lit up, guess he did knew what was actually going to happen
"Of course, i'm not stupid to not know common sense you know."
"Then i'll be damned"
He taunted at me with that mischievous smile of his.
"Speaking of damned You know, with the two of us, we should start something."
He put his hand on his mouth fidgeting around as if he is trying to come up with better words.
"Something? Whats on your mind?"
"Assuming theres more powerful pricks out there i think we could accomplish more than what our little game back there has to offer."
"You speaking sense! I'm listening"
"If we fought them on side by side, i think we can crush this game altogether"
"Really? Crush this game. I was about to say something similar to that too! Truly a coincidence."
"Indeed!"
He said with his eyes faced towards me, he is expecting my very answer to this, of course my very existant reason to being here was so that i could crush this game and cause the most damaged and destruction and chaos. He truly did have read my mind, and has somewhat had a mindset similar as mine but that mind set is mine nobody but me will be the only me, why am i even ranting?
"Ho-ho, ahahahah. Crush this game?"
I repeated his words he nods to me with a sinister smile just like mine.
"So? What do you say?"
He said to me now expecting an answer his hand streched out to me he is waiting for my hand of approval. I looked back if to reflect on what choice i have, after a second of thinking about it i come to the conclusion.
"Let's crush this game together"
I shooked his hand as he did with mine, the two of us proudly laughed for our newly formed alliance our unstoppable alliance. Nobody can stop me, nobody can stop us, but mostly nobody can't stop me!
* * *
The two of us stare at the valley beyond us
I start up the conversation by asking the simple thing.
"Let's head on to that place"
i said to him after that moment.
"Oh yeah, i think that's were the game actually starts"
"And most likely were we see the other fuckers that were gonna fuck eventually"
"Ha-hah fuck!"
"Stop acting like a child what are you?"
I taunted him with my smirk.
"Ahem, if your wondering. The names Miyano Mori, The Fallen Leader."
"Starting the introductions huh?"
"Call me mori"
"Okay *Mori*---
"Got a problem with that?"
"The fallen leader... *The* have to be part of your role?"
"Obviously you bastard!"
"Whatever, Names Kirino---
"Kirino-kun!---
"SHUT IT!"
"The name's Kirino Yatsuda. Ghoul's my role"
"Ghoul?"
"You having problems with that?"
"Says a lot about your pale skin,
you froze to death or something?"
"Ha-ha! Very funny!, You do know that were both pale right? ENOUGH WITH THE INSULTS!"
i questioned his point
"Hm? Of course just did it on purpose ,Yatsuda! Also STOP SHOUTING!"
"Hmmm? Getting fussy right there and also call me kirino"
I said smiling tauntingly as i sinisterly looked at him, we truly are a like.
"Aight! Kirino! Let's get the hell out of here!"
"Sounds about right!"
"Well step right to it!"
"Of course, Race ya there!"
smiling at me He sped off skating on ice leaving me all there.
"Heh, he's gone..."
Crap! What am i doing standing here? Kirino's gone and did he challenged me to a race after all that?, seriously!
"WAIT UP ASSHOLE! THATS CHEATING HAVING THE UPPERHAND CHEATING!CHEATING! CHEA--
Mori started running after kirino the two's sillouhettes dissapear as they went further away.
* * *
At here at last! The meet up spot!
We both hurried on to the main meeting spot, we grouped up with the rest and stayed in our circle.
Surrounding us were the other contestants, why were we in a circle of course to hear what the game would tell us, we have to be precisely in a circle in order for that pedestal in the middle to activate and pronounce the game to start.
We stood there waiting for the games to begin alongside the rest of the people there.
To be exact i'm seeing around 11 of us, including us both.
We waited and waited to what the game would instruct us.
"Hey Kirino, that guy looks weird as hell"
Mori said casually pointed out to one of the people in the circle
"He sure looks like one, HEY! WHAT ROLE ARE YOU?"
Kirino yelled out insultingly
"SHUT UP!, that's the savage speaking to ya!, wait your ass up for the game to start speaking!"
He said angrily and waiting patiently at the same time, now that's talk coming from a savage.
"Agreed, why should we waste our words until the fun starts happening!"
A cloaked person said in an insane tone, as some started muttering and some weren't amongst this circle
Attention dear Contestants, expressing with a heartfelt welcome the explanation of game shall begin
Welcome to a game of fate, were you all compete to win you will all be destined to battle each other and one would be worthy of the grand prize which will grant any of your desires.
You mean like a wish?, now that's pretty insane that's gonna keep me stoked, some people around me were muttering but to me i stayed shut with my minds racing question on what to do if i'd won that.
Another question in mind how did i exactly knew where the meet up was? I'm pretty sure i spawned somewhere a bit far but how'd i know where it is, enough as said probably it was some sort of muscle memory so im gonna not bother myself with that.
The rules are simple as enough, the last one standing is the winner.
Everyone has a unique ability known from the start, and it is your weapon.
Now that explains my sudden use of my ability but that factor doesn't bother me.
Your abilities tend to reveal more of themself the more you fight and the more you try to figure out.
Even so there are no limits to this game, not even rules. feel free to start alliances as such but be noted that you would have to eventually eliminate each other.
Yada yada these boring stuff, let me get the action already--
Bright light shines as he monologues his complaints
"What the hell?"
The next thing he knew it, he was then transported to a location unknown to his knowledge.
Damn!
He scuffled, he truly was expecting that a fight would just immediately happen when the game finally commenced. Theres a pretty obvious reason why games like these always have to scatter everyone when it actually starts.
This is square one.
He said gritting his teeth, truly the finest reaction of one who assumes things in advance. Truly, truly, truly the finest.
Kirino proceeds to run around to get a better idea of where he is, the closest thing to his distance was something white and tall he sort of cant make out but theres multiple of them. He could assume those are structures beyond that.
*Faint Stepping*
Those steps. Thats someone. It's fast pace so it's really someone running. I wonder who could that be? Or maybe i already know who this pricks gonna be.
"You there! Kirino! Kirino-kun--
"Drop that would ya!"
"Kirino!"
I'm actually really surprised, the same bastard who was playing tricks with me managed to coincidentally spawn right near me.
"Well, well, well. This was no coincidence.
*mori* "
"Whats with that expression? And why are you saying my name in a pointing out matter?"
"Who knows!"
"That won't some it up"
"Maybe your mama will!"
"Let's just to the chase, we spawnee right next to each other. This was no coincidence!"
He said extatically. Praising such odds to have happened.
"It's no biggie at all. You can blame lady luck for such a awful reaction you got there!"
Kirino said with a sinister smile. As if the roles have changed and he is now toying with mori.
"What the hell man! Thats not nice!"
Mori yelled out defending himself, i was playing with him. Thats nothing to be personal about isn't it?
"Whatever! Let's get moving!"
"Sure, sure! Let's Go!"
"LET'S GO GO GO!!!!"
"ONWAAAARRRDDD!!!!!"
Both screaming out of their minds ready to see what this game has to offer, as the two raced off at the valley of fate. Their sillouhettes slowly fading and fading as they
sped up with the help of their abilities.
Truly these two are locked on.
