Talk about a fate worse than death! Luckily King is merciful.

I'm going to guess Yhwach or Hitomi win.

Man, I really didn't think I'd end up rooting for one of my own nominations in THIS hunger games, but the only characters left that I know are him and Judy Hopps, and I'm not really hoping for Judy to win just by being the most tolerable.

So go World's Angriest Boy!

Isn't Angriest Boy just a one-trick pony? It takes a lot more to develop true hatred.

I have to admit, I was kinda rooting for Brandish to go far because he is a badass, but he's just such an awful person that I was eagerly anticipating a karmic demise toward the end. Pirate delivered.

My hatred for him was instant. It came from him being so horrifying and bizarre that I felt truly uneasy whenever he was on screen, in a way that no horror movie villain has really been able to do. His creepiness digs uncomfortable deep.

Chapter 9: The Elite
--

The Night had ended, but the Nightmare went on.

Five remained. Yet only One could Ascend:

--

Justice: Judy Hopps, a young rabbit girl and officer of the law, seeking to do what is Just. She may not remember, but she had been brought here once before. Perhaps this is why she had survived this long? Will she rise above the hate and achieve victory, or will the scales turn against her and cast her down once more into defeat?

Love: Hitomi Kanzaki, a young girl and quite the romantic. Thanks to some friends she made along the way, combined with a bit of luck, she managed to make her way here and get a magical sword along the way! Unfortunately, her friends and potential lovers fell one by one and she may be alone now! Will she make it to the top, or be heartbroken?

Malice: The World’s Angriest Boy in the World...a strange lad to be sure, always wearing that unchanging expression upon his face. A visage of bitter Hatred. Yes, indeed, he truly embodied the theme of this game. The one who had him brought here hated him, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume that this Boy hated them in turn as he seemed to with all things! Will the hatred driving this lad allow him to carve down all those before him, or will he be grounded into the dust?

Judgement: The enigmatic Yhwach lied low for most of the game…however, he seemed to hold an air of confidence around him. It was as if he had things all figured out already. Traps? Monsters? The competition? To him they appeared to pose no threat. He cared little for why he was brought here, or the one who held hatred for him. These things did not matter. What did matter was that he finished this little game and ascend to the top. Is his victory already in sight, or shall he be smited down?

Glory: Finally, we come to Chi-Chi, a mother and martial artist would prove herself and rise to be among these final few. She may have been summoned by someone’s hatred of her, but her strength and fighting prowess can’t be denied. All manner of beasts and tributes stood before her, and one by one she struck them down. Will she be the last one standing and achieve ultimate glory, or will someone take her out first?
--

Judy’s world was engulfed by a bright light as she began to fall into unconsciousness from pain.
She couldn’t be sure what had happened.

Did she make it…

(Poke Poke)

Or did she die?

(Poke Poke)

Was the Nightmare over?

(POKE POKE)

(“Yo buddy, you still kickin?”)

Maybe she would awake and everything would be back to normal. She’d be back in Zootopia and everything would be fine! Boy Nick would never believe her abo-

(POKE!)

Judy is jostled awake by a sharp jab to her stomach! As her vision clears and the world comes into shape around her she is met with…

…a skeletal visage mere inches from her face

“WAHHHHHHH!!!!!”

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

As Judy screamed and crawled away back toward a wall, King stumbled backward!

Judy’s heart nearly exploded out of her chest

“D-DON’T DO THAT! WHERE DO YOU COME FROM I- wait don-“

King shook his head

“Oh I was taking care of some business before and well…I noticed you were still knocked out after I gave the introduction so I thought I’d wake you up and catch you up to speed before someone or something decided to come along and kill you or something!”

Judy rubbed her noggin then winced at King who seemed to be as nonchalant as ever.
---

“Wha-“

“Soooo yeah, I got good news for ya! You are one of the final five tributes left! Congratulations!”
Judy was piecing together what had happened…

Final…five?

Oh…that’s right…the Feast.

“You are almost there! You just gotta keep making your way up as you have been doing! Shouldn’t be much longer now! As you might expect though, things are most likely going to get a bit more difficult now that it’s down to just five of you.”

Judy stared at him

“Wait…”

King continued

“I know this floor is a little bit…strange…”

King addressed the surrounding area. It appeared to look like some sort of dilapidated building…only with strange “breaks” in its structure. Various “breaches” with thin layers of multicolored lights over them littered various spaces.

“Wait…”

King continued

“But hey, you’ve dealt with worse areas already so this shouldn’t be too bad! Well I gotta get going, gotta prepare for something so I’ll just-“

Judy yelled out

“HOLD THE FUCK ON!”

King’s skeletal jaw dropped comically, one could potentially see the silhouette of a mouth hiding in the shadow

“Huh?”

Judy got to her feet and glared at King

“You lied to us! That Feast of yours wasn’t some sort of gift! You were trying to fatten us up for those monsters weren’t you!?”

King scratched his cheek

“Well I mean…it was a gift, there just happened to be a little end of floor challenge attached. I know I know, I kiiinda lied, but c’mon now you really should have seen that coming and-“

Tears were welling up in Judy’s eyes as she shook in frustration

“Why…why do you hate us?

King stood there silent for a moment.

“I…don’t hate you.”

Judy was still shaking with silent fury as she waited for him to continue

“Look, I didn’t nominate you to be brought here. Someone else had chosen you. Sure the theme is Hatred and that isn’t exactly the “best” reason to be brought here, but it is still an opportunity to be part of it and achieve a great victory. I suppose I have been extra harsh for this particular game but…”

Judy tightened her fists

“WHY!? WHY DO THIS!? HUH? JUST BECAUSE S-SOMEONE I DON’T EVEN KNOW HATES ME? S-SCREW THEM! T-THAT IS NO REASON FOR THIS! NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE”

King just stands there

“A-AND YOU JUST STAND THERE LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL? L-LIKE IT’S A F-FREAKIN JOKE? ANSWER ME! WHY!?”

Judy suddenly leaped high into the air and kicked King directly in the jaw. He stumbled back slightly. For a little rabbit, she did pack a bit of a punch.

“WHY!?”

She jumped and tried to kick him again, but missed. She was still a bit woozy.

“WHY!?”

As she jumped to kick him again King’s arm shot out and she found herself in his grip, pinned to the wall. She struggled helplessly to break herself free.
---

“. . .”

Judy continued to flail frantically to no avail. She looked at King who merely continued to stare at her…and then…

…She felt the grip loosen and she fell helplessly to the ground. She coughed as he turned to make his exit

“Listen…”

Judy weakly turned her head toward King who was now looking back at her

“I know…its been harsh…and you like many before you may not have wanted to participate in it…especially for a theme like this…but it is still an opportunity. Even if it wasn’t for the most flattering reason you were chosen to take part in the game…this trial. Victory can mean something great for the one who perseveres, an opportunity for something more…or something to come?”

Judy wasn’t sure what he meant

“Then again who can say for sure? Perhaps it is merely for prestige across various worlds?”

Was he still just messing with her!?

“Regardless…you seem like a nice rabbit..uh…girl. I will just say just keep moving forward as you have done so in the past and see this through to the end. I know this is no comfort, but…I apologize.”

Judy weakly got to her feet, her strength strangely returning to her

“Things will work out…one way or the other. You can trust me on that…”

The door creaked open as King slowly walked through

“H-Hold on!”

Judy gave chase as King turned around the corner! As she passed through the door she found King had vanished

“. . .”

Judy resolved herself as she looked down the strange path before. With renewed energy she charged ahead ready to face whatever may come!
--

Hitomi Kanzaki was slumped against one of the many passage walls with her sword at her side. Heavy bags hung under her eyes as she shuffled a deck of cards in her hand.

Perhaps she was merely trying to distract herself. She may have saved that rabbit girl that had offered her comfort…but she had still made so many mistakes and had done so much wrong. Perhaps the cards could tell her something…

She reached out for a card…and as she made contact…

Something strange would happen.

Hitomi gasped as various images and scenes flashed in her head!

Visions of the four other tributes navigating their way through this floor, going about their business…and then…

A blank space!

Well that was not entirely accurate.

Strange little shades ran around in this dark space. She couldn’t make out exactly what was happening before her, but she didn’t like the sound of it. A blaring alarm and echoes of combat raged through this obscured vision!

Suddenly the obscured vision explodes with images of blood surrounding other obscured figures.
A hand reaches up with a shade overlooking its owner…

Ready to strike down with a crushing blow…

“(GAAAAAASP!)”

Hitomi snaps out of her daze with a start and clutches her forehead. What was that all about!?

She looked down at the card in her hand and her heart nearly froze

The Death Card
--
---

The World Angriest Boy in the World began to scout out the new floor. With bloody knife in hand he was ready to sink it into fresh flesh.

He would find his first victim with one of the apparent residents of this floor. An unhinged looking fellow wearing ragged clothes and wielding a lead pipe!

The man did seem to notice the boy approach, and by the time he did, it was too late!

With a quick jab and a slash, The Boy would lop the poor maniac’s noggin off! It would fall to the ground with a gruesome thud!

The Boy kicks it away like a soccer ball and continues to hunt down anyone else who happened to catch his attention!
--

“EEEHehehhhehe AHahhaha!”

A psychotic woman wearing a mask over her face charged forth with an unorthodox set of weapons that looked like knives taped on to some boxing gloves

“AHHHHHH”

CRUNCH!

Chi-Chi smashes her face in with a devastating kick, causing her to fall!

“Urgh what a pain”

“AAAAAAAAAAARGH”

A man tries to leap on to her back from the shadows, only for Chi-Chi to effortlessly judo flip him through the air! The insane man slams right on top of the woman and her bladed gloves!

“There’s no shortage of nutcases that’s for sure…”

Chi-Chi glances around at various piles of unconscious or dead people. She had made her way to this large clearing when a bunch of nutjobs swarmed out of the various passages that led to this room

Unfortunately for them they weren’t dealing with some ordinary martial artist!

She sighed to herself, looking around for which path would be the right way out of here

Unbeknownst to her Yhwach watched her from the shadows of another passage, deciding to not make his presence known.

As she left down her chosen path, he smirked to himself. Just as he thought…that was the wrong way to go.

When she is gone, Yhwach casually makes his way into the larger room…

“KIYAAAAAAAAAARGAGA”

One of the bodies springs up and tries to attack Yhwach….

…only to be immediately decapitated

“Hmhmhm.”

Among the various passages, Yhwach goes down the correct one

Yes…

All was going as was foreseen

…Soon this game would be at an end!

Just pointing something out, though. In Tarot, the Death card means change, not actual death.

(No, it doesn't bother me, I'm just clarifying things)

Chapter 10: The Haters
---

One moment there was silence

The next there was not

A low hum filled the void, spurring someone

It was a strange feeling

A sensation of fallingyet not falling.

He wasn't supposed to be here

but in this space something made the impossible possible.
--

"Ohoho here we go"

--

He felt his nerves stimulated. A twitch of a finger

His eyes slowly opened, and the world slowly formed before him.

It was still hazy...everything was tinted red.

There were people here...

. . .

King excitedly tapped away at a keyboard as his compatriots stood beside him.

Snake glanced around the room and sighed

"Are you sure about this?"

King nodded

"Oh, fuck yes!"

Snake sighed

"Why do I indulge your crazy ideas?"

King turned to him

"...because they're cool?"

John looked at King with a nervous expression

"This trial has been exceptionally harsh hasn't it?

King nodded

"Yeah, but I mean the theme of this trial would kinda imply that now wouldn't it?"

John folded his arms

"Yeah bu-"

King continued

"Though you know me, I try to make things interesting! Besides, its been taking more of a toll on em so I decided to speed things up while also pleasing the Observers who chose them, regardless of the outcome."

John sighed

"Yeah bu-"

King continued

"Now I know you wanted in on this action too. Don't think I didn't notice you slip in your own personal nomination before this began. If I am correct, he is still active too!"

John gulped. An image of that malicious little boy flashed in his head.

King patted John on the back

"Don't worry! Maybe next time you can get your hands dirty and show some of em what you are made of, but I think it would be a little cheap if more than once of us got involved in the fightingMaybe later though"

King pondered to himself for a bit before Snake got his attention with a cough.

"Soabout all this?"

John motioned to all the pods circling the strange room. They glowed with a crimson light.

"Oh, right!"
--

They were making noisesbut he couldn't quite make them out.

Suddenly the space he was in began to glow slightly brighter, and a clearer voice echoed inside

"Ahem..is this thing on? Right, right! Rise and shine folks!"

Various silhouettes floating in those pods began to stir

"Now I know you might not remember much or realize what's going on, but bear with me. Just an effect of us transferring you in here is all!"

What was he talking abouttransfer? Where was he? Who was h-"

"Now you don't need to think too much about it, but we have transferred you all to temporary vessels to take part in the trial we currently have in progress. The goal is simpletake down these five folksI believe some of you are familiar with one of em."

There was a loud bang from a few of the pods and muffled noises

A button was slammed and an alarm filled the room

As the pod glowed brighter he suddenly began to become overcome with a sense of angerof hatred

"Things will be fine for you. As I have said, these bodies are temporary so don't worry about getting injuredthen again you probably aren't too worried about anything at the moment aside from tracking these guys down huh?"

He clenched his fist and bared his teeth
---

One of the shadows approached him and became clear. A man with a skeletal visage tapped at his pod and waved at him

"Whatever happens you won't really rememberso enough of this introductory crap. Let's get this started!"

He felt the world give out from under him as he warped into a strange space, accompanied by various yells and roars!

King looked up at some sort of identification plate above the pod and smirked behind his mask

The inscription had a single word

"todbot1"

Kind glanced around at the various other pods

"Welllet's see how they fareGood luck tributes."
--

The five remaining tributes traversed the labyrinthine floor, watching out for any traps and killing the stray psychopathic obstacle every now and then.

Still, things seemed to be going relatively smoothly for them so far.

Then all at once that sense of relative ease would come crashing down

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FeebOsdDE4

Judy's ears sprang up on alert as the noise blared down the various passageways with no discernable source.

Chi-Chi instinctively took a combative stance and scanner her surroundings

Yhwach looked slightly annoyed and glanced around

Hitomi nervously looked around with her blade at the ready

And the Angriest Boywell now he was even more angry.

"THE HATERS COME! PREPARE YOURSELVES"

A collective sense of dread filled most of the tributes
--
---

The World's Angriest Boy skulked in the darkness, looking for his next victim!

Up ahead he spots a lone psychopath sniffing at the airhe didn't seem to notice him yet

Well that worked just fine for the Boy. He readied his knife and slowly approached himready to sink the edge into his soft fle-

"AAaAAAAaaAARGGH!"

The psycho let out a horrific shriek at something

BzzZzZzZZZz

A strange yellow light zips around frantically and collides into the psycho's leg!

The Boy stops dead in his tracks and huddles around a corner! He pokes his head out to find the psycho on his back groaning and trying to get back on his feet

and that's when the boy notices some new people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrOXTADrIjw

A large green haired man in bulky looking armor stands at the ready wielding a shotgun. His face obscured by some sort of gasmask. Across the chest plate is an engraving of the word "BANE"

Near him was todbot1, a large man with cybernetic legs of some strange metal and an iron underjaw. His eyes glowed red with fury.

Finally, a man with sleeker looking armor of yellow and black stepped forth. The helmet this man wore seemed to bear a semblance of some sort of insect. He pulled out a strange looking gun and aimed it directly at the psycho's head before casually pulling the trigger

They...

They had stolen his kill!

The World's Angriest Boy squeezed the hilt of his knife and stared intently at his target...that bee man.

SHWING!

With a throw of remarkable precision, the World's Angriest Boy sent his instrument of revenge soaring into the bee man's head

SHLUNK!

The knife lodged directly into his forehead! The Bee's cohorts glanced at their ally as his head lurched back from the force of the strike!

The World's Angriest Boy began to skitter away! The other two hadn't noticed him

but the Bee did

The Bee reached up and grabbed the hilt of the blade and casually ripped it out of his helmetthen dropped it to the floor!

(patter patter patter)

He was in his sights now

BzZzZZzzZzZ

ZOOM!!

There would be no escape!

There was a flash of golden light

One moment the Bee was there

...The next he was directly in front of The Boy

The World's Angriest Boy bumped right The Bee's leg, who just stared down at him wordlessly!

Who the heck was this guy?

Was he MOCKING HIM!?

With silent fury, The World's Angriest Boy scooped up a nearby shard of glass and leaped up at The Bee!

Only for him to get punched in the gut and sent flying back down the hall he had retreated from!

The Boy may have been silent, but it was apparent that had hurt

That only served to make him ANGRIER!

The Boy rose up to charge-

BLAM!!!

Suddenly The Boy fell to the ground! What was that?

Why...why couldn't he feel his left leg?

The Boy looked back! At first he saw Bane with the smoking shotgun

then he saw his dismembered shot off leg!

The World's Angriest Boy thrashed on the ground in silent agony! He slashed at the air with the shard of glass hoping to hit something SOMEONE! It couldn't end like this! There were still people left to kill! There was still-

It was at this moment that todbot1 ended this little annoyance. He casually walked up to the flailing little boy and raised a cybernetic foot above his head

CRUNCH!!!!

Then squashed it like some sort of pumpkin!

One tribute down

The trio of Haters looked at each other and nodded. They left the scene in search of the others
--
---

Somewhere John let out a sigh. Was it a sigh of relief, satisfaction, or disappointment?

--

Hitomi Kanzaki's blade glittered with magic as she nervously looked at what stood before her!

A group of strange looking warriors glared at her intenselythese guys definitely weren't like the psychos she had run into so far

A man with armor of stone covering his entire form! His weapon was some sort of blunt club with a pointed tip. It was like a miniature weaponized obelisk ready to be swung and crush anything in its way

A hooded fellow with a torn up robe stood at the ready with a staff of skulls. His face was obscured in shadow aside from a pair of glowing red eyes!

A demonic looking figure with hands wreathed in flame hissed at her! His tail swayed to and fro!

Finally, at the center of the bunch, was a regal looking man. Adorned with a crown of spikes and shining silver armor was The Prince! His own sword glistened in the darkness

Hitomi could feel his intense gaze wash over her

yet for some reason

even though this was a malicious gaze

She couldn't help but find him handsome!

Hitomi nervously tried to address him, only for her to pause as she sees him raise his blade into the air and let loose a cry of war!

As if on cue, The Obelisk Man begins to stomp forward, accompanied by the Guru and the demonic Lucifiere

"Wait! C-can't we-"

The Obelisk Man picked up speed, smashing the ground underneath him!

HURRRUMPH!!!

The pillar swung in a wide arc ready to break the woman! She dove to the ground as the weapon crashed into a nearby wall

but the onslaught didn't end here!

The Guru's staff chattered as the sockets in the skulls started to flare with sparks! His demonic comrade started to wave his hands in unison as they both started chanting during their approach!

Hitomi scrambled to her feet as fast as she could and broke off into a sprint down into the hall! There was no way she could fight them like this!

The Obelisk Man hefted his weapon as the two casters now stood at his side! As their incantations endedwellthings started to get hot

Hitomi briefly checked over her shoulder to find an inferno surging down the hall toward her! She sprinted faster as she saw two paths break in the hall! She noticed some sort of commotion up ahead but she couldn't really discern which path it was coming from. Since she really didn't have time to figure it out, Hitomi dived to the left, narrowly avoiding being roasted alive as the flames crashed against the wall!

"Phew"

Hitomi stood up and glanced down the new path, hearing the commotion growing loudercrapwell there wasn't going back now so-

The clambering of armor started to grow as it was apparent that her pursuers grew closerbut one among them had caught up quicker than she expected!

As the embers still danced in the air, the Prince dashed into sight before her with remarkable speed. He stared at her with contempt and pointed his blade at her, silently telling her to raise her weapon

Still somewhat flustered by this handsome figure, Hitomi continued to try (in vain) to talk to him

"P-Please, we don't have to fight! Can't we just-"

The Prince grunted and lunged forward with his blade as his cohorts tried to catch up. With no other option but to defend herself, Hitomi defended herself as the two magical blades clashed against one other
--
---

As the alarm blared, Judy Hopps had stumbled upon what looked to be like some sort of primitive dining encampment. A tumbled over fridge and various bags of snacks were scattered around

Although Judy wished she could say she had enough of these little food detourstruth is, she could use something to eat after all the recent excitement and near death experiences

She decided to quickly scavenge what she could beforewhatever that alarm signifiedstarted to occur.

She tried to lift open the refrigerator but it seemed to be stuck! She finds a small crowbar and managed to pry it open to findtwo large eggs? One appeared to be green and the other yellow

"What on earth..?"

Judy sniffs it...well they didn't smell bad. Upon closer inspection they seemed to have a slight shine to em

"Hmm"

Judy rubs the green one and the surface becomes clearer, showing her own reflection on its surface. This wasn't an edible egg. It seemed to be some sort of gem or something.

Wait...

Responding akin to a genie ramp being rubbed, the egg began to move a bit, then it suddenly enlarged multiple sizes at various intervals until its confines outright fell apart! As the yellow egg tumbles away, it to begins to grow!

Judy didn't like the look of this so she jumps back a good ways until the eggs stopped

CRAACCK!!!

Cracks began to form on the eggs and then they exploded into deadly shards! Judy manages to dive to cover to avoid being injured by the hatching!

Now in place of the eggs stood two new figures. From the green egg stood a tall slender bipedal lizardman with emerald scales! He looked around his surroundings quizzically and the began sniffing at the air!

From the yellow egg a hulkish being that looked like a turtle stood. His shell glittered with a golden sheen! He glanced around as if looking for somethingor someone

Judy holds her breath trying to not get their attention. She hears more people approach

The two reptilian beasts look over at these new fellows. The duo appeared to be young men wearing weird looking baseball caps, one red and one blue. On their shirts were the words EVAN and ETHAN respectively.

"Hmph"

Unbeknownst to Judy, Evan motioned to Ethan and pointed at Judy's hiding spot. He nodded and pointed to the lizardmen, informing them on the nearby target!

STOMP

STOMP

Oh crap

STOMP

STOMP

They were getting closer

STOMP

STOMP

Well there was only one thing to do at this point!

RUN LIKE HELL

Judy yelped and dashed away with her natural speed! Dodging the turtle was easy enough but that other lizard nearly manages to scoop her up! The two humanoids grunt and try to nab her but she dodges them as well! Judy flees down one of the passages!

Evan and Ethan pout for a moment and then let out a yell of frustration! They run after her, accompanied by the two reptilian monsters!
--
---

Yhwach manages to retain his composure. The most likely events from that alarm weren't optimal to say the least.

With his weapon at the ready he continued on his path, ready to face any of the potential dangers that were to come now.

As he continued down his path, striking down a psycho here and there, he noticed something was off.

Over time, a bit of a haze began to form. There was some sort of "static" in the air and areas of illumination frazzled a bit. Of course that may have just been the dreary environment as well

"HOLD UP JACKASS!"

"Mmm?"

Yhwach glanced over and before him a girl with a frilly dress stood chewing on some gum. She seemed to be wielding some sort of bat.

Next to her was stone faced man in what appeared to be the garb of a shinobi. Just where had these two come from? Who were...wait...

"Oh..."

The girl tapped her foot in annoyance

"Oh!? What do you mean oh!? I'm tryin to talk to ya here!

Yhwach smirked

"Oh nothing, what do you want of me?"

The girl smirked

"Name's Alanna and dis shmoe here is Xey! We're here to kick the shit outta ya! Get it buddy?"

Yhwach's eyes narrowed as Alanna raised her bat and Xey slowly reached for something, most likely a hidden blade

("I see so they seek to try to disrupt my power")

Xey suddenly vanished from sight

("Well")

As Xey appeared behind Yhwach with a curved blade, he aimed to dig it right for his throat, only for Yhwach to intercept his strike!

("It will require more than this")

Xey's eyes squint in annoyance as Yhwach swings his weapon forcing him back! Alanna, not deciding to wait, charges at Yhwach from behind

"BATTER UP FUCK FACE!"

Alanna swings the bat which Yhwach easily manages to block, although he wasn't exactly expecting the sheer amount of force she was packing!

Following through on her swing, Alanna sends Yhwach flying down a passage!

As Yhwach lands in a new room, an unfamiliar voice echoes

"Ohooooo who is this now!?"
--
---

At the time the alarm rang out, Chi-Chi was in a large sprawling room with various passages to enter! It seemed to be some sort of battlefield or arena as piles of corpses and limbs litter various spaces!

For her, the consequences of the alarm would occur immediately. Yes, some sort of monstrous being would appear to crush her or maybe-

"Heeeeellloo there!"

Chi-Chi turns around ready for a fight only to find two slender gentlemen in snazzy suits standing before her. She is taken slightly off guard by this sight...were they working with that King weirdo? Regardless, it was obvious that she shouldn't take them lightly

"I...I said hello!"

His companion continued

"It's rude to not address someone greeting you you know!"

Chi-Chi stared them down still maintaining a kung fu stance

"Who are you!?"

The two blinked and then chuckled

"Ah yes, guess we should introduce ourselves!"

"Indeed, I mean she's probably been through a lot already"

"Guess we're the rude ones eh Raka"

"Ohohohoho!"

As these two chuckleheads laugh it up, Chi-Chi becomes visibly annoyed

"KNOCK IT OFF! TELL ME WHO YOU GUYS ARE!"

The two shut up

"Sheesh alright fine! Well as you may have inferred by our banter, this gent over here is known as Raka"

"Yes, and this fellow here is Ry!"

The man bowed

"Ry Senkari! A pleasure"

Chi-Chi sighed

"Yeah well whatever, so what do you want? I take it you are here because of that alarm? What? Do you want to fight?"

The two men stroked their chins mockingly then both raised their hands. They held a sinister gleam in their eyes going against their current attitudes. Was it all an act?

"Well you are correct!"

"An astute one isn't she?"

"That she is Raka!"

Chi-Chi stomped the ground leaving small cracks in it! The two glance at her

"Well we would rather not get our hands dirty just yet"

"Right, first we'd-"

Tired of their tomfoolery, Chi-Chi jumped forward and shot out her leg to strike one of them! In unison the duo deftly dodge her and end up behind her!

CLAP!

The room went black for a few moments! Chi-Chi went on the defensive, preparing for one of them to attack her

Instead, some sort of spotlights lit up the room. Chi-Chi glances up to see some sort of void with numerous spheres of light shining down!

As she looks around she notices the room had changedit seemed to have gottenlarger somehow?

The laughter of the two men get her attention and she turns to them ready for a fight

Raka and Ry were now floating in the air with a dimmer light barely revealing them! In front of them were a few silhouettes.

A bead of sweat trailed down Chi-Chi's forehead as she saw the shadows of the new reinforcements.

The laughter of the men echoed throughout the arena

...Great...

Somewhere John let out a sigh. Was it a sigh of relief, satisfaction, or disappointment?
