CHAPTER 7 Victory stained in red

Axel stood up to signal his team to ready there attack. He took a long gaze to the dead man's body, for the first time of his life that is the day that he killed someone.

At that moment his teammates already begun there attack, they divided themselves into two groups that have two members. Kaid and Eli is now facing to a group of girls, one of them is wounded and the four others are protecting it.

"Shit, they are girls what are we going to do?" Kaid murmur to Eli with a voice of worry.

"We don't want to hurt you- you better surrender before it's to late" Eli shouted to there opponent.

But it's looks like there opponent is never gonna turn back. Without hesitation one of the member dashes towards Kaid "you're so kind better if you didn't enter in this tournament Young Man" the girl shouted without a fear of her face.

At that moment Eli was already, saw it and without a second thought, he shoot the girl in the right side of her arms, reason the girl being slowed down.

"Why did you do that?" Kaid ask Eli clenching his fist.

"He was the one who attacked first, of course I will retaliate!" Eli respond to Kaid.

"You monster" Kaid chuckle while saying his words.

The fight continues and they attack together, Kaid the two of the girls. One of the opponent of Kaid dashes towards him and make a slash carrying a sharp knife, without hesitation Kaid slashes the women her head. The other women was scared by what he witness but she don't want to surrender without a fight, at that moment Kaid dashes towards to the women,but the women face him and take a grinn on her face,but before Kaid realizes it's already to late. Kaid was right in front of the women, but he saw the women carrying ang piece of granade, the women drop it, eyes are widen,and a big explosion occur. Kaid was thrown away and the women vanished without a trace. But luckily Kaid was alive he manages to block with his arms the explosion that give him a wound on his arm.

Meanwhile,As Eli faced off against the two girls, he saw the panic etched on their faces. One of them, her hair hastily tied back, was trembling, her eyes brimming with tears. "Shit!, shit!, shit," she whispered, her voice with desperation. "Two of them are gone... it's just us now." Her companion, equally terrified, grasped her arm, her voice shaking. "What do we do?"

"Seems like we don't have a choice" the women spoke while gripping her gun.

Meanwhile at Eli's side he slowly approaching them hinding on a destroyed structure. Without a signal the two of the girl shoot him side by side, making Eli to hide in the small structure.

"Damn it! I didn't even though they are gun users" talking inside on his mind while analyzing the place.

He started to give them a payback since it become silence, and he dashes towards to the one girl that seems to be frightened. The girl saw him, before it could react the bullet was already in her head. Eli was smiling while staring at the girls dead body.

"How dare you!!" The voice from the distance make Eli to be shocked.

The women shoot Eli without a second thought and give her all her remaining bullet. But Eli was watching her, the women cry all her shots didn't make a contact on Eli, and now she have remaining last bullet, she aimed it on hear head.

"What's even the purpose of winning?... If we don't even have freedom.." and the moment she finished her final words, she pulled the trigger causing her to lay down in the dirt.

"You don't even need purpose to win" Eli murmur to himself, with a face of no emotion.

After, as they gather together in the center of the battle field. Axel watches all the five higher-ups, they seem to be entertained by what they saw, killing someone without reason just to win the tournament.

But looks like Kaid shift his eyes towards to the wounded girl, she is one of the members of the last group. Kaid approach her, saw her catching up her breath while holding her wounds in the stomach.

"So.. they all dead huh..." Her voice was trembling.

"Please.. what ever you wish for... Don't forget the people in this prison.." she took her last words.

"Don't worry we won't forget it" Kaid respond politely while slowly lowering the eyes of the girl.

And Kaid return to his teammates with a mourning face and full of doubt.

And finally the higher guard announce the winner.

"Congratulations, prisoners!, well done, you have perform an amazing entertainment for us. And now you are the last team standing in the arena, like the always do.. place state your wish.." the guard smile at them even though he hide his emotion behind on the mask.

The team took a silence, then they stated there teams wishes.

"We decided.. we want to become your super soldiers!" Axel said his words with determination.

Whole silence took over the auditorium, silence.

"HAHAHAHA!!, how come an normal individual thought he could survive the test!" the fifth higher-ups laugh at them loudly.

And the murmur started all over the crowded place.

"Look at them they've some guts!"

"Booo"

"Your just lucky kid!!"

But Axel just take them a deep gaze. And the middle higher-ups stand up, causing the whole crowd to become silence again.

"You seems have a determination, I'll granted you my complement. But it make my mind bother by how did you discover it.."his words stop's for a while.

"but it doesn't matter, what really matters.. could you survive it?"

Axel take a slight smile facing towards to the higher-ups "I've already survive it" with his words the higher-ups seems shocked by what he hear.. a words from a monster..
