Chapter 11:
A FEW MOMENTS AGO IN THE OFFICE BUILDING-
.
*Watching The Hope Games Live Broadcast Literally On The Edge Of Her Seat*
.
Office Clerk: *excited* "Dodge! Right kick! He shoots...AND HE SCORES!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! SHOW NO MERCYYYYY!!!"
.
Office Clerk: *doing the robot* *singing* "Go iris! Go iris! Go iris! Go iris!"
.
*Phone Ringing*
*Phone Ringing*
*Phone Ringing*
.
Office Clerk: *sighs* *facepalm* "Here we go again...God forbid a girl tries to enjoy the games in peace, just like everyone else…."
.
*Declines Call*
.
Office Clerk: *sits* *cracks beer* "You know what? I really don't care anymore..."
.
*Phone Ringing*
*Phone Ringing*
*Phone Ringing*
.
Office Clerk: "He obviously wants a piece of my mind...because THE OFFICE IS CLOSED! WHY IS THIS DICKHEAD STILL CALLING ?!"
.
*She answers the phone*
.
Office Clerk: "I AM A SECRETARY! NOT YOUR MOTHER. PLEASE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND STOP CALLING ME FOR EVERY LITTLE INCONVENIENCE! THANKS IN ADVANCE!"
.
June Mae(Sienna's Grandmother): "Good day… is this the number for the office at Crimson Arts Academy?"
.
Office Clerk: *looks away* *whispers* "shit…" *looks back* "Umm yes. How may I help you?"
.
June Mae: "I don't mean to be a bother but I can't find the channel broadcasting the hope games… can you help me? My granddaughter Sienna Mae is participating. She is such a brave, kind and strong little girl who never gives up! *soft smile* She always puts others before herself… my cupcake has a good heart… I am sure she will win…This last thing might be too much to ask but is there anyway you can let her know that her Grandma is watching and cheering her on as well?"
.
Office Clerk: *sniffles* "Of-course I can, and It's channel 01, screen 05… but I will only be able let her know when the first game is over okay?"
.
June Mae: "God bless your heart…"
.
*Phone call ends*
.
Office Clerk: *typing into the system* "Such a sweet old lady..makes me wish my grandmother was still around....anyway. Name:Sienna Mae *zooming in on her picture* Oh! This is the girl who was rambling on about justice and fighting for our country….. Elemental Affinity: Earth...Parents... *spits out her beer* *jaw dropped* I did not expect this at all..."

.
A FEW MOMENTS AGO IN THE LEOS' LIVING ROOM-
.
Television- "Hope Games Announcer: "Participant #79 is unable to continue. Participant #79 is now eliminated. Participant #83 is unable to continue. Participant #83 is now eliminated….."
.
*lights cigarette*
.
Eric Leos: *soft laughter* "Hmmm…. *deep breath* *puffs* *looking up to the ceiling* I know if you were here right now...you would probably whack me over the head… stick your middle finger in my face.. and throw a tantrum because of two things….."
.
Eric Leos: "One…..you always thought using Guardian Angel was too risky and two…. because he used one of my techniques before he used one of yours…. *smiles*. *tears slowly rolling down his cheeks* it's been 16 years and this still happens every single time I think about you….. If our son saw me right now… He would probably call me a bitch….."
.
.
.
.
Dashing To The North-
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "MANA SEAL!"
.
*Tom & Thomas sealed their presence*
.
Tom Creed: *smiles* "Come on brother…turn that frown upside down "
.
Thomas Creed: "This bothers me... I hate being forced Tom…. especially to fight. Ever since we were little…being forced to fight.. either for water, food, money, or shelter everyday...being adopted by the Creed Family felt like winning the lottery."
.
Tom Creed: "At-least we survived...and got the greatest big brother in the world…no need to worry *smiles* all we have to do is hold off Number 88 for a while and Jack will deal with Number 101…. or do we have to deal with Number 101 *scratches head*…."
.
*In The Distance Participants Chattering All Around Tom & Thomas*
.
"Anybody up for a wager? Who do you guys have money on??"
.
" Bro… is that even a question? I'll put $100 on Vio. If we didn't have these jumpers that cherry bitch would probably be dead in 5 minutes…"
.
"Oh my god yes. Charlie is in a league of his own… both in strength and looks… *blushing*"
.
"I really didn't think anyone would actually be dumb enough to fight the Number One student for $10,000… maybe his little brothers began to rub off on him...while all we have to do is beat a healer who can only do physical enhancement *smiles* this is great…"
.
"He probably needs the money to keep feeding his retarded brothers… "
,
"I heard that they were bought as slaves off the black market..kissing the Creeds' feet and wiping their ass…"
.
"If he wanted to kill himself... he could have just jumped off a building because that's basically committing suicide at this point… he doesn't stand a chance whatsoever…."
.
.
.
.
.
*DARK ATMOSPHERE*
.
*RISING PRESSURE*
.
*MENACING AURA*
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Circulating around Dead Man's Wonderland in a Helicopter-
.
Marilyn Fearstriker: *drinks whiskey* "Huh… I guess the first stage is going to be over much quicker than I expected. There is no doubt in my mind… I have felt this energy before… it's Tom & Thomas…the Berserkers....shit."
.
Marilyn Fearstriker: *Intercom connecting* "Paging Unit One. Unit One can you hear me?"
.
Unit One: *intercom connecting* "Loud and clear Commander."
.
Marilyn Fearstriker: "Be on standby. High alert on Participants #10 & #12. Tom Creed and Thomas Creed. They are currently unstable and could potentially put other participants' lives at risk. Keep them in your vision. Over and out."
.
.
.
.
.
Tom & Thomas slowly began losing themselves as they continued hearing everyone around them…
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "Why.. Why do they choose to speak without knowledge of what truly happened…speaking of us like some modern day slaves…"
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "Effortlessly making a mockery of struggle… without a single ounce of shame. This world is still a cold place with or without the rain. Being judged by those who never experienced true pain….A million voices heard but only mine shall remain."
.
Tom & Thomas Creed: "I can no longer have sympathy towards those in this game. This power of mine is something I can no longer contain…"
.
Thomas Creed: "All."
.
Tom Creed: "I."
.
Thomas Creed: "Feel."
.
Tom Creed: "Is."
.
Thomas Creed: "Rage."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
,
As their power levels kept rising steadily… participants nearby began dropping like flies from the sheer force of the Berserkers' combined energy…
.
*GROUND SHAKING*
.
Tom Creed: "Incarceration…..JAWS!!!!"
.
Water began bursting through the outer area of the Northern Forest creating a barrier, taking the form of a Crocodile's Jaws.
.
Thomas Creed:* looking around at all the participants on the floor* "Such a pity."
.
Thomas Creed: "Vital Eruption: PURGATORY!!!!!"
.
As Thomas pointed his ring to the ground…He concentrated his overflowing mana below every participant in the Northern area creating continuous bursts of energy rupturing their organs and stunning them repeatedly.
.
The forest was illuminated by all the participants' jumpers emitting a blinding light at once.
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*
*BLINDING LIGHTS*

A FEW MOMENTS AGO LAYING DOWN BY A TREE IN THE NORTH -
.
*Blissful mood*
*Birds chirping*
*Wind blowing*
.
Iris Leos: *eyes closed* "Don't you want to get a little rest Joy? You have literally been staring at me for the past 20 minutes…just take a glance at Bennie over there…"
.
*LOUD CHAINSAW-LIKE SNORING*
.
*Bennie sound asleep beside Iris*
.
*Joy's stomach growling*
.
Iris Leos: "You should have something to eat as well… There is a sandwich inside my jacket.. it got a little smashed up but you can have it. I promise it's still really good *smiles*."
.
*Joy takes the sandwich from his pocket and her face turns red*
.
*She hesitantly took a bite out of the sandwich, still trying to look pretty while eating in front of Iris*
.
Joy Mason: *smiles* *satisfaction sound* "Mmmmmmm…"
.
Iris Leos: *laughs* *starts caressing her hair* "This should help you relax a bit…"
.
Joy Mason: *blushing* *thoughts* "Oh my God Oh my God Oh my God….am I dreaming ?? This feels so good but I cannot say that by any means necessary because it would make this weird or does he want me to say something??? NO. DON'T BE AN IDIOT!!!… He wants me to relax but I am just overthinking and becoming anxious…what is wrong with me ??? I could die happy right now…."
.
*Iris sensed the Berserkers' energy in the distance*
.
Iris Leos: *smiles* "New challengers ahead."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
Iris Leos: "Up we go!"
.
Joy Mason: "HUH???"
.
*BOOM!*
.
*Iris grabs Bennie & Joy then jumps straight up to the skies*
.
Iris Leos: "Joy. Use water pressure to make our landing as slow as possible until I say release."
.
Joy Mason:"Okay."
.
*MANA ENERGY INCREASE*
.
*Water began spiraling around Joy's right arm.*
.
Joy Mason: "HYDRA!"
.
*Iris released Bennie and quickly grabbed him back*
.
*Bennie wakes up*
.
Bennie Borelli: "Am I on my way to Heaven ? Did I just die ? *looks around* Oh , it's just you , the white haired guy….CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE HELL ARE WE IN THE SKY!?"
.
Iris Leos: "Look down."
.
.
.
Tom Creed: "Incarceration….JAWS!!!"
.
.
.
Thomas Creed: "Vital Eruption: PURGATORY!!!!!!"
.
*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*
.
.
Iris Leos: "Joy, release."
.
They landed safely.
.
Iris Leos: "If you guys were hit by that you would have been eliminated…I won't force you to join this fight. Their power levels far exceed yours…"
.
Bennie Borelli: *smirks* "I think you underestimate us a bit too much Pal. We are a team aren't we ? Let's fight together and beat the socks off those bitches!"
.
Joy Mason: "I WANT TO FIGHT FOR YOU!!!" *thoughts* "I am now dying inside. Why did I say that out loud…."
.
Iris Leos: *laughs* *rubs Joy's head* "I was testing you guys to see if you'd go against your word in the face of danger. Now that I know I could trust you… LET'S GET THIS SHIT!!!"
