Chapter 11: Fire and Lightning

Mellan: No hard feelings when I beat you?

Aodh: As if.

GR33N: In level 2, round 1 of 25, we have number 60, from Dublin, Ireland, Aodh Kelly!

R3D: Against number 61, from Dublin, Ireland, Mellan Quinn.

GR33N: Challengers get ready, 3!

R3D: 2.

GR33N: 1!

R3D: Go...

GR33N: Go!

They activates their guns at the same time, Mellan's gun being the same as Aodh, just blue instead of red. He shoots a bolt of lightning at Aodh which he barely manages to dodge. Aodh shoots fire balls at Mellan which he barely blocks. The 2 of them are evenly matches. Aodh creates a ring of fire against Mellan.

Mellan: Unlike you, I actually watched your level 1 round. I know what you can do.

He sticks his gun into the ground and blows his surroundings away with lightning.

Mellan: Saw that in one of the other level 1 rounds.

Mellan creates 3 balls of lightning which he sends out towards Aodh. Aodh creates 1 huge ball of fire which he sends towards Mellan. The 2 collide and create a explosion which blew both of them away. Mellan gets up first and creates a cage of lightning around Aodh.

Mellan: How about I try my own version of your trick?

Aodh: Way worse, I just do it better.

He shoots a ball of fire to break through the cage which created a wall of fire to engulf Mellan but he creates a cage around himself to protect him.

Mellan: Predictable. Trying to end both of your matches is stupid.

After deactivating his cage, Mellan shoots bands of lightning out of his gun which pins Aodh's arms and neck against the wall.

Aodh: Alright, alright, I forfeit.

GR33N: Aodh is unable to battle, meaning Mellan is the winner! Spectacular end to the first round of level 2!

R3D: The next round will begin in 30 minutes.

Aodh: All call you later after I get put with the rest of the losers.

Mellan: You better.

R3D walls Aodh through building 1 before she quickly grabs him by his hand and throwing him through the wall which had the hidden door, phasing through. He's in a completely dark area, the only thing he's able to see is R3D and her bright red glowing eyes.

R3D: Welcome to the loser room. The place you'll spend the rest of your life.

Aodh: So this is the reason for the tournament.

R3D: Basically. The people chosen for the tournament aren't random you're all special. Superhumans fully realize by the tournament to be harvested. You were getting to close to the truth so we had to get rid of at least 1 of you.

Aodh: Harvest?

R3D: I don't know the details but it's something about your soul. Your body will rot away leaving only your soul. Free for taking. Goodbye.

She disappears, leaving Aodh and the rest of the losers to rot.
