The Stadium (In the Process of Ending/No longer accepting)

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

I was growing bored since Jesse told me to knock it off, I was busy scanning though round results the third round I was preticulerly intreasted in since we were about to go into it. scaning though it I thought it was another obstical course, that was of course I came to the monsters. a gang of gobilns and my nightmares come true, the minotaur. I shivered at seeing him. Memories come rushing back at him.

"Oh god." I mutter.

Drake-
I laugh as Jesse laughs, then start to wonder if I've said too much. They won't kill me, but it would put me at a big disadvantage if I started blowing up like a balloon in the middle of a life-and-death struggle. And I'm not even in an alliance with this girl! I wonder if I should ask her to be in an alliance with me, but that might ruin our friendship. For some reason I think it'd be harder to trust her if we were in an alliance; I'd feel like she wanted something from me.
Glancing over her shoulder I see Mask-Girl/Rutila waving Micah over.
"You should probably get going," I tell Jesse, "it looks like they're having a meeting." She follows my gaze to Mask-Girl and Micah.
"Hey," I say before she heads off, "so would your couple-name be Messe?"

Jesse

I smile, "What? Messe?" I laugh, "I guess.." I pat him on the shoulder before I leave, "Good luck."

I swiftly walk away towards Micah and Rutila. I smile at Micah before turning my gaze back to Rutila, "Soo...What are we gonna do? I'm gonna be really good at this round." I smiled.

Micah

I'm not sure how I feel about Jesse speaking with Drake, or with Rutila's new attitude towards Raphael.... It's all too confusing.
Jesse comes back and asks what we're going to do. Getting no immediate answer from Rutila, I clear my throat.
"First off, we need weapons again, preferably ones suited for defeating minotaurs and goblins." My eyes set on Rutila. "I was wondering if you might be willing to lend Raphael something. He's my ally now, which means he's the same as me."

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

I pulled off my generals sabre and handed it to Raphael, I had four daggers on me anyways not like I would need it, I hope. After he took it I punched the wall hoping the pain would help me regain my courage and confidence, I would need it for this next round. I was about to battle my own demon.

Raphael~

Rutila handed me a generals sabre, I wasn't exactly the most proficient with the weapon but It would do well against goblins. It would give me the reach I need to not get that close to the goblins.

"Thank You, Rutila. The gesture is much appreciated." she punched the walls, I could tell something about the challenge was bugging her. But I wasn't going to ask. I needed to be focused if I was going to survive. After Casi's death in The Second Round, no one was safe...

i was in total shock. how did this kid know my name?
" Listen i have something very important to tell you. you're in danger. you're boss is planning something horrible. he told you he would free you if you won but thats a lie. either way he plans for you're death." he said in a raspy voice. he never took his gaze away from me. "But how can...he promised...how do you know...?" i didn't know which question to ask first. i was so confused. i could hear foot falls coming towards us. the boy looked worried. for some reason he didnt want to be seen. "do you still have that whistle i gave you?" he asked. i nodded. "hold onto it. and be very aware. things are going a bit to smooth this year. they may do something cruel to liven it up.

the foot steps sounded closer. he started hurrying away but then stoped for a breif moment, " i'm no stranger. how caould i be? How can i forget the name of my own sister." then he ran away leaving me standing there frozen with shock. i wasn't sure if the person approaching saw him because he hadn't got away fast enough.

Drake-
I go to find Ice since it seems the round will be starting soon. She's talking to a little boy who runs off as I come near.
"Hey, Ice, are you okay?" I ask. She looks pretty shocked by something. She doesn't answer, just shakes her head.
"We should probably head back to the group," I tell her, "the next round is about to begin." I'm worried about her now, I don't know what that kid was doing telling her something to freak her out this bad right before a round. I hope she can make it through.

ice
i wanted to tell drake what happened when i figured out it was him who was behind me but i couldnt find the words to say. i wondered how much of the truth the boy...my brother(if he so was) had told. the fact that the boss would betray me sounded like it could be true. i didnt want to beleive that. the warning he gave me still shook my heart. i look at the whistle wondering why he asked if i had it, but he probably wanted me to use it in the next round.
i almost forgot drake was there as i was thinking about the boss . he took me in years ago and worked in the black market world. his so called "gang" members were always cruel to me but i remember boss coming to my aid alwasys saying that i wasnt peice of rubish. he would always say that i was special in this odd way that i forced myself to beleive he was protecting me.

the more i thought about it, the more i felt like there was something i was missing. my memories of the far past were a bit hazy and now i wondered if his story about my far past was even true?

Octavius-

I rebandaged my wounds and changed into new clothes. I walked down the staircase, polishing my sword. "Lower classers." I muttered with a look of distaste when I saw them.

Looking out towards the field I saw a minotaur and goblins. "Perfect. I'd like a nice fight. " I smirked.

I saw Micah talking with that Raphael loser and put on a nice face. "Nice to meet you, Raphael. I believe you have joined an alliance with Micah and myself. Welcome to the team." I gave a fake smile that looked genuine.

Drake-
Ice didn't respond, but was quickly lost in her own musings. I hope she's able to pull it together in time for the next round. I walk off, feeling awkward standing there.
"Lower classers," I hear Octavius mutter as he comes down the staircase.
"Wig-wearer," I mutter just loud enough for him to hear, throwing him a look, then saunter off down a random hallway.

Jesse

I flash a smile at Drakes comment, wanting to laugh so damn bad but keep it in me, looking out onto the feild. "Oh god, oh god, oh god..." My anxiety kicks up and I start pacing around, freaking out.

Ronaldo Gransona

The timer dings off beside my script and I jam my fist over it, sighing. I bring the microphone closer to my lips, knowing that Gary was rounding up the gladiators below.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Round three! We'll be starting with one less gladiator this time, but not holding back! Between the lava, the minotaur, and the goblins, there's no room for escape!"

I pause, the audience shrieking with excitement.

"Are you ready?"

The countdown begins, the gladiators lined below.

Jesse

I take a deep breath and nod at Micah. Suddenly the bell rings and I sling onto the rope over the lava, watching every last bit of my body. I swung around it and landed on top of it, scootching across, my eyes closed with horror. A goblin rushes for me and I curse under my breath, swinging back down and loosing grip, holding on with only one arm. "Crap."

I swing my other arm up and glance behind me to see where Micah and Rutila were.

Rutila "The Black Dagger" Nixion

Ok getting over the lava pit, not a problem. It was easy really, I hopped up top of rope and moved across quickly. Tightrope Running, not a problem for a girl who does gymnastics, it was on the other side that worried me. twelve goblins no minotaur, yet maybe if I killed off the goblins off I wouldn't have to face the minotaur, at least I hoped. I got across and landed on the other side, I realized one of my dagger's was missing. I look back to see Drake pick it up, I'll get it from him later, I pull one from my sleeve and boot. I take out six of those goblins before hearing a blood curling scream from behind me, I see Raphael impaled by the minotaur, but in my eyes it was my friend Catherine impaled by the minotaur.

"Catherine!!!" I scream dropping to my knees.
