Kalon
First thing in the morning we were to report to the room given to us.
My mother and father were finally coming along, coping the entire thing because they didn't wanna participate in any of it. It took a lot of Kyza and I explaining to them that we'll all die if they choose not to participate.
My little brother gained a lot of praise when the rankings came out. Since we arrived, he's been determined to win and at the moment they've given him the fourth best odds to win it all.
Last night while I was asleep, the brownies brought us five different letters telling us which room to report to in the morning for simulation exams.
Kyza and my father both were given room C, my mother was given room A, and I was given room B.
My mother and I would be in two separate simulations, while my father and Kyza have a shot to win together.
Among my group, were two other members of the elite for me to team up with. Bojack and Shana.
Bojack is the more brutal between him and his twin brother Kojack. Ranked at fifth, Bojack has had a ruthless blood driven attitude since day one and attracted the brownies to offer him and his brother to the elite.
Shana is almost the same, the brownies ranked her the worse among us at thirteen. She was pissed, now she feels the need to become even better.
Bojack and Shana will be blood hungry, and I'll just sit back and watch them go at it.
I don't care about being the worse ranked of the elite like Shana, it's really just a number and my brother is the face of our family.
After a conversation with a brownie in the shooting range, I learned that there's many people who live on Lost Island all millionaires or better who place their money on each other of us in hope of making double the amount back. In Lost Island, this is the ultimate gambling.
The more money, the more they treat you like royalty. Kyza will be catching a lot of eyes, and he'll be treated like royalty.
I can just be normal, my brother's bringing all the money in.
I gave my family hugs, told them each I love them and that I'd see them all later.
Through a crowded hall of participates and brownies, I reported to room B.
The brownies checked me in, crossed me off the list of the twenty people reporting to this room.
Shana and Bojack were here and waiting, Shana questioned. "What took ya bighead ass so long?"
I shrugged, and made up an explanation. "Sorry, my families still not coming along well. So what's the deal with this, ya know how this works?"
"They put us to sleep and play it all out in our minds." Bojack spoke. "I'm the highest rank, I'll be the leader. Since we're teaming up day one, we'll stay teamed up until the end. Your brother will be doing the same so you'll have to fight against him, it's just a simulation so don't think too highly of it. All we have to do is kill ten people, it'll be over with quickly."
Bojack and Shana told the brownies we were ready.
Over half the people were already here. After awhile, I'm sure the exam would be beginning.
Each of us had a bed, with our name written over the top so we knew which we were designated to.
The brownies made us all lay down, then gave us a pill to take.
The brownie who gave me my pill explained. "You'll just be put to sleep, and your thoughts will be monitored by us."
I took my pill and laid in the bed.
I didn't trust the brownies, but it didn't matter anyway.
I closed my eyes when I felt dizzy, slowly dozing off.
When I opened my eyes, I was standing on the shore of a beach.
The ocean was light blue and beautiful, fish were visible in the waters. Some were big and jumped like dolphins
Next to me on top of a cover was a backpack, food, weapons, and water.
The only food we were given was fruit, and it wasn't much but we shouldn't be here long.
We were given three knives, and two guns. A machine gun as a primary, and handgun as a secondary.
I gathered up all my weapons, carried my machine gun in my hands and the Glock at my waist.
A voice rang on through the air like an emergency broadcast. "All twenty contestants have arrived, you may began!"
There was no telling how far Bojack and Shana could be from me, but I figured all of us were along the shore.
It wasn't long before gunshots rang in the air.
I made my way along the shore, searching for my allies.
Stupid as it sounded, I tried following the shooting expecting it to be at least one of them.
But I wasn't wrong.
Not too long into my journey, I found the person shooting was just spraying bullets from their machine gun into the air as they walked the shore.
The person shooting was short with long hair bouncing around, Shana. With her was a bigger guy, the leader of our group.
Shana and Bojack were reckless enough to shoot in the air just to find me.
Shana stopped her shooting and called out to me. "Hey, hurry up! I'm ready to go inside the jungle!"
I hustled to them, lightly jogging as they made their way towards the big trees of the jungle.
The three of us walked through large bushes and trees cutting and slashing our way through the jungle.
Shana tapped me and pointed to the sky, "Look, that's how can you tell how many people are still alive."
For a second I couldn't tell where she was pointing, then I saw it. The number eighteen in the sky, projected by some sort of light.
Two people died early, eight more were needed to go until we were finished.
Bojack stopped walking, leaned over and touched something he noticed on the ground. Bojack spoke, "This way, someone just walked through this path not too long ago."
Shana followed excitingly, anticipating someone to kill. She was blood thirsty, so was Bojack. Both were ready and prepared to eliminate anyone we were unlucky enough to cross our path.
I looked up into the sky again, the number decreased another two. We were down to six more people and we finished, four quicks deaths would just follow up with six more.
Shana yelled out, "Look up! On the trees!"
All three of us looked up, stopping all movement and taking the shock in of someone sitting up in a ginormous tree.
"Hey! You noticed me!" The woman called down to us, laughing. "I thought you would never notice me!"
She wore ninja style clothing, all black.
Bojack and Shana didn't hesitate to aim their machine guns at her and fire away, the both of them fired shots until their clip was empty.
They reloaded, but gasped in awe as they discovered not one shot dropped the woman. Even more shocked to find out the woman had disappeared.
"Where the fuck did she go?" Shana asked looking around. "No fuckin' way!"
The woman called out as the sound of a sword compromised her position. "I am Jiana, you can just call me Ana. And I am a Shinobi of Chiyo Takahomi!"
"The ninja bullshit." Bojack laughed. "We'll kill you just like any other person, come on out!"
She popped out of nowhere, just as Bojack asked with her sword in hand.
She swung it for Bojack's head, but he backed away in time to save himself from decapitation.
Shana and I fired shots at her, forcing her to back away from Bojack.
"Fire style jutsu!" She made multiple hand signs. "Flame bomb!"
Bojack yelled. "Move!"
All three of us retreated as a fire erupted from Jiana'e hands, setting all the trees and bushes around us into flames.
Jiana laughed as we fled, trying our best to escape her remarkable attack.
"What is she?" Shana asked as we ran. "What the fuck is this?"
"She's a fuckin' Shinobi ninja!" Bojack answered, he looked up into the sky. I did the same, fourteen people remained.
"Just fourteen?" I questioned. "Why are they going by so fast."
Jiana appeared in front of us, she spoke. "Because my partner is out there slaughtering them, similar to how I'm about to do you."
"Alright, she's a fire type so we gotta split apart and try not to get caught in her flames." Bojack said. "Let's move!"
All three of us separated, listening to Bojack's demand.
"Smart, are you?" Jiana smiled, then laughed softly. "You're actually lucky, if you had ran into Adrien instead of me he would've just killed you in a blink of an eye."
"Well, why don't you bitch?" Shana questioned. She aimed her machine gun right for the ninja, red dot on her forehead. "What's taking you so fuckin' long?"
"Because I like to have fun, it's bad enough we're forced to do this stupid shit. You're gonna die slowly." Jiana's smile turned crooked, she spoke. She went on again with her hand signals, then called out. "Fire nature: Flaming crystals!"
Jiana held flames in her hand, she laughed as she began shooting flames shaped in forms of crystals at us.
Shana and I opened fire, shooting at her us we dodged. While we fired and she dodged, Bojack bravely pulled out two knives and ran for her directly.
Without her noticing, he had ran close enough to toss one of the knives at her and get serious damage. But it would have to be a good throw.
Two knives in hand, Bojack tossed both of them back to back for the ninja's head.
Jiana was in shocked of him throwing the knives, had little time to react. She attempted to dodged both knives, but they came at her much too unexpectedly.
The first knife was dodged, but sliced the side of her neck as it slid by. The second knife stabbed her, landing in her right shoulder.
Jiana yelled at snatched the knife out from her shoulder, just to come face to face with Bojack who never stopped charging her as she grimaced in pain and snatched the knife out.
Bojack pulled his last knife from his side and swung for Jiana's throat, she barely dodged. Then Bojack went for the bloody knife he threw at her, snatching out out of her hand.
With two knives, Bojack yelled loudly as he stabbed her with both of them.
Jiana's body jumped as the knives went into her throat, she coughed up blood and her body went completely stiff.
Then she dropped, Bojack forced the knives out aggressively.
He sighed, then went for an extra strike for the head to approve an overkill.
"They're ninjas, but they aren't invincible." Bojack continued. "Her friend should be around somewhere, leave him to me as well. If he's brutal as she made him out to be, it'll be fun for me."
Bojack collected all three of his knives, he cleaned them with a wipe in his bag then placed them at their resting place on his body.
"When the real thing comes, we'll have to go ninja hunting." Shana said. "These motherfuckers got powers."
We looked up into the sky, we all looked at each other after seeing the number eleven.
Shana threw her machine gun down. "That ninja chick wasted all our damn time!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Daysha
Soon as I arrived on the island, I packed a few knives and went for a swim.
I understand that there could be super killer sharks under the waters, but I didn't really care.
Before going into my simulation, Hatake Sensei told me to follow my guts but don't use my full power.
I've progressed quickly, basically mastering every nature type in just a few days work.
But Hatake always warned about another ninja group who's members were going all out for it this year, potentially giving it all they got in the simulations. He told me to keep up my guard for other ninjas at all times, because they move quick and silent.
Shiori's auntie that taught here as a Sensei is named Choyi.
Choyi and Hatake are the only two Sensei's here, and both now have restrictions on how many people they take in.
Hatake chooses to only accept for people to train, and Choyi chooses five people as her limit. Rumor has it that's just to one up Hatake's group.
Before coming in, I went through the list of all five groups.
I was chosen for group C, the lone person to be chosen here in my family. An ally wasn't feasible at the moment.
But I could be in need of an ally.
Two members of Choyi's class were in my group, one of them I remember from being number six ranked. The only one in the top ten who wasn't an elite. His name was Dakarai, the other member of his class with him was named River.
River was Shiori's little brother.
Not only that, but two members of The Elite were here as well. Kalon's little brother Kyza, and the second ranked of us all. Horus.
Horus and Kyza would surely form an alliance, Kyza's father was here as well but I'm sure he'd just send him off somewhere safe.
Horus and Kyza, Dakarai and River. I didn't want them to find me, but at the same time I didn't care who came for me first.
I just wanted all of this to end.
I floated in the water and watched the number of people go down.
Three members Shiori's family killed themselves, so three groups would only have nineteen people. We were one of those groups.
I watched as the number went from nineteen down to fourteen in almost no time at all.
I closed my eyes, was almost close to a nap until a voice called out for me.
I opened my eyes.
Two males, wearing ninja clothing similar to mine.
Dakarai and River.
Dakarai held what had to be the biggest sword I ever seen on his back.
River's weapons were attached to his body.
Both armed and dangerous.
I sighed, focused some chakra on my feet to stand on the water.
Dakarai said. "You're a ninja from Hatake's four."
"I'm his best ninja." I said cockily. "You looking for me?"
"I happen to be the best ninja of my class as well." Dakarai paused for a minute, kept his eyes trained on me. "River, give her a shot and see what she's made up."
I smiled. "You don't wanna fight me."
"Why is that?"
"I'm too damn good."
"You're too damn cocky!" The boy, River yelled as he ran for me. He used signals as he came for me full speed. "Fire style: black flame jutsu!"
River jumped into the air and blew the black fire from his mouth.
Black fire seemed special and different than regular fires, so I didn't use a water type move for counter.
Instead, I used my true nature.
I mumbled softly, "Wall barrier."
The ground rose, forming a giant wall blocking his attack.
The black fire stretched up my wall, River attempted to make his way up my wall to use another jutsu on me when he reached the top.
He didn't know I already expected him to run up the wall.
I detonated the wall barrier to explode like a bomb.
The entire wall blew up, River caught right in the middle of it.
I watched his body fall back, terribly burned and in flames until he landed in the ocean sinking down.
"Peace of cake." I smiled. "That's Shiori's little brother? I wonder if Shiori can do that black fire shit too."
Dakarai didn't speak, instead he kept the same mug trained on me.
Hatake told me to never let my guard down, the best ninjas choose the perfect moments to strike.
Dakarai was certainly one of the best ninjas on the island.
"You killed River with one move." Dakarai said softly. "Try that with me."
Dakarai ran at me, pull two knives from his side.
I stood still, standing my ground as I put my hands together.
Dakarai tossed both knives, then followed up with a jutsu. "Wind style: sky raging jutsu!"
Dakarai's attacks were fast and back to back, maybe he assumed using a combo would get to me. First throwing the knives for my eyeballs, then using the sky up above my head to attack as well. But all of it was useless.
I called out, "Earth technique: Safe Dome!"
A dome made of rocks covered my as a barrier, both knives bounced of my barrier. The wind style attacked hit hard, but didn't penetrate through my dome.
I heard Dakarai yelling from outside the dome. "Wind style: Press Impel!"
Dakarai hit my dome full throttle, blowing me and my entire dome feet off the ground.
Dakarai's wind style jutsu destroyed my entire dome. Sent me flying, backflipping, and bouncing off the water uncontrollably.
"That attack did some serious damage." I mumbled to myself as I finally landed from that hard ass push, I continued talking to myself. "I have to destroy him."
I struggled to stand on my two feet, watched Dakarai running for me full speed again.
This time he held that gigantic sword with both hands, blade thicker than what I assumed it would be.
He threw me back a pretty far distance, which was kind of advantage because it gave me time to think.
It's stupid to think of letting him run up on me, but at this moment I didn't really have a choice but to use that time valuably.
I needed something that would get the job done now, fighting him too long injured like this would be suicide.
Breathing heavily, struggling with all the left side of my body. I still put my hands together, still thinking of what my next move should be.
I need to use my most fiercest and probably most quickest attack.
The move I needed to make finally clicked in the back of my head, just as Dakarai yelled out to me.
Dakarai was just a few feet away running at me with a smile. "It's over! Wind technique: Impelling Pull!"
Dakarai's technique yanked me right to him, his sword ready for me to slide right through it.
The spiritual energy for the technique I needed was complete. "Lighting style jutsu: Red Bolt!"
The lightning struck too quickly for either of us to make any preparations for it. It attacked Dakarai directly, but erupted through the ocean as well. The attack was fast, the attack was frightening.
Dakarai's eyes went completely white, then his pulling technique went away.
I fell on top of the water, on my hands and knees.
Dakarai stood tall for another good second until his body stiffly fell into the water.
Nobody can possibly dodger that lightning attack, even if you were given an early notice on it coming. Lightening strikes in about a tenth of a second, nothing can move fast enough to dodge it.
I looked up at the sky, ten people remained.
I nearly lost in just the first round.
My vision went blur, and the world started spinning.
I passed out.
