WIPE OUT!!!

The players present in the room where still in shock after realizing that it's no longer game they were playing but a battle for survival and the only way to survive was by getting stronger.

"You would think this was a dream come true...only its a nightmare". Blair commented.

"My mum....she must be worried sick".. ..." I can't die here"... Rodney thought as he had his fist clenched in determination.

They were all speechless and had a lost look on their faces. Rodney although not feeling exactly calm about the current situation himself, thought it was up to him to say something to calm them down.

"Guys we can't just sit here and sulk about what's gone wrong and what hasn't ....clearly we were brought here for a reason and I don't know about you all but I want to get stronger so I can ..." And as he was about to say something, he got interrupted by a notification, another quest but this one gave him a fright.

*Bing*

[Head to the town square to hear the news delivered by the game lord]

Another quest in such time? They all thought. The thought of stepping outside wasn't exactly thrilling to any of them given what they just survived not too long.

With the fear that those ninja assassins might still be out there he just didn't have the courage to lead them outside.

"I believe we all got that" he said "who else isn't going" he added and raised his hand. Thinking to himself how not so much of a brave leader he was right now.

"I might lose their respect but certainly not my life".. He resolved within himself looking at their faces for who else would concur to his decision.

"We have to go" Erwin said. 

"Yeah who knows what consequences awaits us if we ditch or fail a quest?" Blair added..

"Yeah. If it's the game who brought the ninja's, I'm sure it must have taken them back before issuing out a new quest, besides if we don't know what the game lord has to say then how will we even leave here in the first place?" Mia said.

Rodney thought they all made valid points and decided to go on with the quest.

"How bad can it get ?" ...he thought to himself but quickly regretted it as bad things had happened not quite long ago anytime they felt optimistic.

"Who's stepping out first?" Corey asked showing he hadn't gotten over the last event just yet.

"On the count of three we all leave, ..one,.....two..." Rodney was about to say three when someone else said it.

"Three!!".. Blair said and dashed out like a maniac towards the town square "you were supposed to wait for everyone!!" Rodney said following behind.

"Is he always like that?" Erwin asked with an amused face..

"You have no idea" Mia replied with a face that said she was tired of it all. They all kept running and eventually caught up with Blair who was standing looking ahead..

----------

As they arrived at the town square there was a big difference from when they first arrived. Many people were gone, wasted, brutally killed from the attack earlier.

The sight indeed was not one that one would love to be around for long. They looked to hear what ever the game Lord had to say and leave immediately.

Suddenly the sky began to turn red once again. The teens looked less bothered than the last time this happened as then it turned out to be the game lord who appeared. And just like the last time a face with a mask like that of the assassin's that attacked appeared in the clouds'.

"I see you managed to survive the first wave of my attack but I promise you this is one of many attacks heading your way"....."you won't survive this one".

"Survive which one?" Was the thought on everyone mind as they all feared the worst. Then it became clear what the game Lord was talking about as the Sky's red colour thickened and now looked  blood red.

"Run...run...run!!!!!!" Eiko shouted and didn't need to repeat him self as everyone took to their heels

"Why ....today alone"... Blair complained as he continued to sprint forward. Looking carefully one could see the coloured sky fading and along with it came red looking liquid and making contact with a building, it had made holes through it effortlessly, as more poured down like rain, it melted the building.

"it's larva guys, we can't outrun that as well as the lightning bolts" Eiko screamed.

"Good bye pesky children" the game lord said in a menacing tone and the rain and lightning increased  it's descending speed and the whole place lit up brighter than the day.

It was a real show of power and as the place returned to normal the sight in front was was terrifying to behold as the buildings destroyed, the dead dead bodies from earlier were no more as they looked to have disintegrated,not a single body could be found.

During the larva rain as the group was running from the chaos that was happening, Rodney had spotted something that gave him hope that they'd survive.

"Hey guys ...follow me!!" He shouted whiled still running. The others running listened and followed him but soon started having second thoughts as they saw Rodney running straight for a wall. They were about to call out to him but their mouths were left wide open as they saw Rodney disappear into a painting that lit up. Seeing this as their chance they all increased their speeds as the lava cloud was moving in their direction and soon the rain would catch up to them.

Standing off afar in the middle of all the chaos that was going on was the game lord. He gently adjusted his helmet before removing it.

His eyes were fiery red and he had a single line that was glowing red on his head. As he turned around, he began sniffing the air like a dog picking up the scent of a bone.

"Bots!" He shouted and a group of assassin's from before, up to 50 appeared behind him

"Find him!!" and they all scattered around the place.

"You can't run forever shadow knight" he said clenching his fist really tight and as he did. The lava from before all turned rock solid.

"I will put an end to you this time for good!!!" The game lord declared before vanishing into thin air leaving the spot he stood on with red hot footprints that still looks to be burning the ground after he vanished.
