"Sign this paper to join the Tournament of Conquest island!" the two look at each other confused as the whole guild starts chanting "sign up! Sign up! Sign up!" Yuma and Nezxa smirking at each other as rivals. The two putting paper to pen and looking at the guild as they start laughing.
"HAHAHA you just signed up for our annual DeathFest!!" They all laugh as Yuma smirks. Nexza turning around to look at the lady who also smiled.
"What's going on here!?" The lady looks at them.
"Oh! You don't know because you're outsiders!... Our annual DeathFest is held yearly… Too many living people overflow this island so we hold this to dwindle them down… last year was insane… it went from 230 at the start, to only 1 at the end!" Yuma smirks.
"Finally I can do some cleaning… How many government officials are killed during this… DeathFest?" The lady tilts her head.
"It's an island event, but every rare so often the Government officials sign up so they can take out tons of bounty named travelers… so you might be lucky this year" Nezxa cracks his neck as Yuma cracks his knuckles. The lady hands them a map to the testing grounds. Both walking out with maniacle smiles. The guild members concerned.
"What's wrong with those guys?... smiling like that right before their death?" another guild member shivers in his boots.
"Uh guys?... we underestimated them…" They all look over as he puts their bounty papers on the table.
"Nezxa Kaj… Magma Dragon King… Ѥ1,578,000!!... that other guy who was smiling first?..."
Yuma walks down the street with a smile and a glare.
Alien King - Yuma - Ѥ1,000 -
"Welcome… everyone to the annual DeathFest… today you might Die… Today you lucky few might survive… You'll enter the field and walk or traverse the 6 mile forest to the other side…" Yuma looks at Nezxa.
"This doesn't sound too bad-" Nezxa holds up his fingers.
"You must kill 4 people before exiting the gate… You have until sundown… if anyone stays within the borders after that time… we'll shoot you down and dead… right. Were. you. stand" Yuma smiles as he locks eyes with a large group of Government Agents.
"Begin" everyone runs in as Yuma and Nezxa walk in last. The gates slowly closing behind them as Nezxa looks up at the sun.
"Hm… going based off the sun… it's probably 6:00… that means we only have 3 hours till' sunset" Yuma nods.
"Let's get rid of some Government foonies!" Nezxa stops him.
"No… we wanna take our time… let's not waste our energy" Yuma scoffs walking into the forest.
"Wait- Yuma-!" Yuma shouts.
"I don't care about a plan… as long as I make it through that gate 6 miles from here i'll be fine" Yuma glares at Nezxa who sighs reluctantly.
"Make it to the gate and don't die…" Yuma walks into the woods.
"plan on it"
Yuma walks through the trees with his hands in his pockets. Looking around at the bright blue sky.
"It's too bright… for this…" Yuma stops walking when three people stand in front of him.
"Huh?... people are attacking me this early?" The three men laugh.
"Look at this pipsqueek!... he probably doesn't know how these events work! The Ranjy brothers have a history here and we're infamous-" They start posing as Yuma flying kicks one of them in the face. Slamming them against the ground. Turning to glare at the others.
"Hey! Interrupting us isn't allowed-" Yuma plants his hand on the ground and spin kicking another in the face. Standing up and grabbing his shirt collar. Throwing him into the third. Spinning around and landing on his feet.
"I don't care how important you are… I'll get my revenge on the government and noone will stop me…" Yuma glaring at the only one's left conscious. Yuma's eyes glow an ominous purple.
"H-he pre-awakened his ability-!?" a massive explosion erupts into the sky.
"Hey… you just blew up my food…" Yuma glares at the man. He had a prosthetic jaw and two prosthetic arms. Two stubs on his back.
"Sorry but, I'm not one to care about other people…" The man stands up and towering over Yuma.
"Fine then… why don't we make a pact?" Yuma raises an eyebrow.
"Why would you wanna do that?" The man shrugs.
"I don't know?... Uh… This Festival is normally boring but then you showed up with your friend… Work with me and we don't even need an hour to do this…" Yuma looks at the man.
"As long as I can accomplish my goal of destroying the government for freedom… I don't care who joins…" The man laughs.
"Okay 'Alien King'... You can call me BoomBox" Yuma nods and walks away.
