Chapter 31 Phase 2 (9)

Back in the trials, Tumumnomi Escaver and his crew had wondered who had saved them. Thus, 1 hour after the lights had carried all their opponents strewn bodies away, nobody had revealed him or herself.

The team leader stood up and looked round before clapping his hands.

"So, any ideas on what to do next?"

"Get down," Andrew waved his hands as he frowned at his team leader. "You might get attacked."

"If we would have been attacked, it wouldn't have been now."

"True," Jacob agrees as he rose. "It would have been since."

John followed before Jake and lastly Andrew.

Now there was almost blinding light but still no sign of their savior. Hence, they could only move forward.

They kept to trees and bushes and anything that could cover the as they trailed. The team took out a few people along the way and got hold of Restorative balms. But apart from the lights that grew painfully bright and then dimmed frighteningly low, the rest of the trial was straight forward.

"500 contestants left, Phase 2's Final Round will begin."

"500 contestants left, Phase 2's Final Round will begin."

"500 contestants left, Phase 2's Final Round will begin."

Their grond around them shook then seemed to be moving away like they were in an escalator that only moved horizontal.

No,

It was more like they were standing behind a horizontal escalator and could feel the movement of the grounds but were not moving alongside it.

Far, far away, was harsh sunlight that contrasted the almost damo air here.

"1 minute to reach the desert terrain."

1 minute to reach the desert terrain."

1 minute to reach the desert terrain."

A count down appeared in the middle of this jungle terrain and began from 1:00.

Everyone shot forward, and some sounds of battle even ensued.

"Close knit formation, push away and avoid but do not engage. I repeat do not engage."

Like the shape of an arrowhead, they flew forward and kept abreast of each other.

However, they entered a zone where about 70 ShockwaveBombs were thrown in their direction.

Tumunomi hit away 20 in a frenzied reaction.

Jacon was more calm but did only 15

John did a good 12

Andrew could only hit away nine 9

Jake matche Andrew's deflection of 9 Shockwave Bombs.

"Hold on to Someone!"

John grabbed Jake and Jacob grabbed Andrew, Meaning that Tumunomi escaver was on his own

BO-BO-BO-BO-BOOM!!!

***

In the previous days Peter had been told to be getting ready, he did not really know what for but why disobey when everything was petty much free.

So, today was another routine of workout eat, study, workout, relax, and eat, workout, study, eat and sleep.

It did sound repetitive, but he really did not mind.

One day though, Mrs Rose Marilyn walked into his room when he was sleeping and he woke up from habit.

"Get dressed."

"Ma'am."

***

They moved through floors he remembered until he arrived where the entrance for the first Phase had been.

He looked around and was disheartened to see nobody was around.

"You want to join them?"

"Yes, my original Batch."

She nodded and pressed a button before his surroundings seems to have shifted.

One second in a room

The other in a jungle.

He crouched low and kept to the ground.

BANG

BOOM

BANG

Sounds came off from different directions and he hissed

He wanted to get information, so his safes bet was to crouch around and observe the situa-

Peter rolled back and someone pounced from behind him, missing the boy.

"What batch are you?"

Peter took his stance, "come find out."

...

In the present, Tumunomi Escaver was blasted towards a tree and had to waste Restorative Balm on an ankle that was looking he wrong way. Then limping forward he hopes to make it.

00:22

00:21

00:20

He eyed the timer and pushed forward.

00:19

00:18

00:17

Running as soon as his feet were good, he saw an incoming knife from someone who had been running high above him and him dodging the attack meant that this guy now had broken bones.

CRACK!

00:16

00:15

00:14

A ShcokwaveBomb came into view and he accurately slapped it back.

BANG!

00:13

00:12

00:11

He saw people running before him that had emerged from the side and crawled up a tree in one smooth motion to begin swinging from the branches

00:10

00:09

00:08

Tumunomi Escaver was mid swing when something crashed into him.

He saw the Desert Terrain just before his eyes but another swinging human had knocked him, colliding bodies.

00:07

00:06

00:05

He shouted and shot to his feet, kicking away from the flailing person on the ground with him and faced his front.

00:04

00:03

00:02

Another Shockwave bomb came into view and he held it for half a second before jumping forward and letting it fall to the ground behind himself.

00:01

BOOM!

00:00

***

Tumunomi Escaver gingerly pulled away his clothes and felt stings where his arms could not probably reach if he had not been doing training since he was about 7.

Slowly he rubbed RestorativeBalm atop his wounds and crawled slowly as he could be watched.

Tu!

A patch of sand rose forcefully rose to the air and he rolled left explosively. The boy ended up rolling into a dune's depression.

When he rolled to his feet, he saw that his toes had kissed a white barrier that shot to the sky before he ran around the bottom of the inclined natural sand formation.

Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu-

Projectile Guns sprayed their bullets at him and he was lucky they were Grade 0. Still, he had to dive out of the way until he was now on flat land.

Tumunomi Escaver has not even looked back once to see his pursuers. All he was sure about was that at some point they stopped firing.

Throwing a stolen Shockwave Bomb from his CavityBracelet, he activated it with a button and tossed it far, far behind him. Darin to look back, he saw about 10 figures scattering away from the explosive weapons' calculated area of impact.

BOOM!

And once they did, he had filled his arms with about 5, the other 5 falling to the ground as he hurled them in accuracy.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

He had already picked up the Shockwave Bombs about his feet and looked at where his pursuers had scattered to, activated them then threw them

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Tumunomi Escaver picked this time to continue his run, just in case they were not all done. By now, they will either be evicted or running back.

"Ishtil Haruna, evicted due to termination."

"Magdalene Franklin evicted due to termination."

"Iriko Ashin evicted due to termination."

Circling back after he found a dune, he saw some Projectile Guns about and he strapped some, picking up Shockwave Bombs, Flashbang Grenades and regular explosives.

When he sighted some of them running to the distance, he calmly took his time as he targeted their heads and made the announcer's voice count 4 more evicted kids.

***

It was about night time and he was happy to have brought some supplies.

His tea was cold and his snacks looked light but they had enough of a balanced diet in their composition that he was filled with all he needed before he took the last bite.

It would be stupid to light a fire in the desert cold, so he slept shivering.

...

"Jericho Falim evicted due to termination."

Waking up to the announcer's voice, he opened his eyes a crack to see a Projectile Gin pointed to his head.

"Stand up and give us all that you have."

He raised his hands above his head and stood up slowly.

"Your CavityBarcelet."

He did not recognise the boy's face.

"I'm from Jason's team."

Tumunomi Escaver remembered that Jacob was one of the first people to pass the 1st Phase.

"I suggest you remain compl-"

Tumunomi Escaver had dropped to his feet and spun the other way, tackling the boy with a gun off his feet so that he was now suspended.

Then, snatching the Projectile Gun from the air he pointed it at him.

However, laser lights covered his body. So, he dropped slowly to the floor until he picked up the boy with his left hand and held the same boy in front of him, moving back slowly as he pointed a gun to the boy's head.

Like that, he backed up slowly.

The only problem was they laser lights stayed on his body until a line of men appeared and began fanning out.

FlashBang Grenades and Shockwave Bombs were tossed in the air after he suddenly kicked his hostage to his knees.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BA-

Hearing was cut off when the 1st Flashbang Grenade detonated, so Tumunomi Escaver used the chance to get on one bended knee, predict areas where the heads will be reaching towards with the help of the chip in his head and fired.

1 Headshot

Shockwave bombs and Flashbang Grenades!

Shockwave bo-

Tumunomi Escaver was tackled to the ground by someone who had expensive head gear. The rest were still disoriented and had scattered to the wind. Some had stayed, about 10 but half of they were all trying to make sure they were still functional as human beings, while the others thought they were deaf and began to cry.

Tumunomi Escaver would have loved to give the latter a send off, but his neck was grabbed at an akward angle

1 elbow to the rib did not stop his opponent. So, he pointed the Projectile Gun in his other hand close to hos ear and wasted the bullets in the opponents face.

Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-Tut-

His hostage had been huddled to the ground in fear and he chose to sit on the back of the boys neck before finishing off he remaining 10.

"You're coming with me."

He could not hear well in his right here when he gave the command but he knew he had been heard before he even walked away and the boy had meekly followed.

Tumunomi Escaver knew things had only been this easy because right now he was dealing with kids.
