30 - Arena of Braccas

Immediately as the challenge started, Mr. Fluffypants took The Number 7 and put themselves under an invisible blanket. “Quick, Hide!” He commanded.

Despite Cutecumber and Floran hesitantly staying back in their rooms, Astra jumps out and quickly pulled out a pistol from out of her trench coat, aiming it at Mazialia.

As Astra fired her gun, the bullets simply bounced off of Mazialia's armor. He kept his serious expression and unsheathed his sword and darted at Astra.

Mazialia swung his sword, but Astra jumped back, dodging the slash.

Emberlyn looked around with a shy expression. Her flames growing stronger the more scared she got. Claw looked over at her with a creepy smirk and began walking towards her.

Emberlyn started sweating in fear and her flames grew. Claw swiped at her with his razor-sharp nails. She instinctively ducked her head, Claw only cutting off a few strands of loose hair.

As Emberlyn attempting to run, Claw grabbed the back of her suit, but instantly let go when he felt the flames that surrounded her. The instant he let go, she ran across the arena, but Astra and Mazialia's fight got in her way. She looked around in fear and began running in another direction.

Claw smirked as he saw Emberlyn at another wall, desperately trying to climb the walls. He slowly walked up to her, ignoring the damage being caused by Astra and Mazialia. Emberlyn turned around with tears in her eyes. Claw once again attempted to swipe at her.

Floran, who had managed to keep a low profile, instinctively spread her wings and grabbed Emberlyn, saving her from Claw. Claw turned to her with a furious expression.

"Are you okay?" Floran asked. Emberlyn looked shocked, but she nodded. Floran's eyes then widened and she threw Emberlyn to the ground. "OW! HOT!" she yelled, feeling to heat of Emberlyn's flames.

As all of this chaos was happening, Cutecumber stayed close to the arena's wall, and scooted her way over to Brazilian Bug Boy's room. When she made it, she asked him, "How did you get here?"

Brazilian Bug Boy just turned his head and anger. "Like I'd explain it to someone who literally sent me to a prison in a dungeon underneath Landland." he stated bluntly.

Cutecumber sighed and sat down on the ground, realizing that she's lost the trust of everyone.

Claw walked up to Floran and Emberlyn with anger in his eyes. "I'll kill you both!" he shouted. Floran just sighed and summoned energy chains around Claw.

Claw was yelling in rage, trying to escape. Floran looked at Emberlyn and said, "Don't worry." before summoning a box of energy around Emberlyn to keep her safe.

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Floran then walked up to Claw and quickly manifested her energy sword and stabbed him through the chest. He shouted in pain and blood began dripping down his mouth.

Despite the pain, Claw grabbed Floran's sword and broke it in half. Floran was taken aback by this. He then broke free from the chains and breathed heavily as blood pooled on the ground beneath him.

As Cutecumber sat next to Brazilian Bug Boy who wasn't even moving, she began to get a little scared when Astra's bullets started flying towards them. "Shouldn't we start moving or something?" Cutecumber asked. Brazilian Bug Boy just looked away, not answering.

Astra spoke to Mazialia through her mouth mask and said, "Your armor is pretty durable isn't it? It's able to withstand my pistol of infinite bullets."

Mazialia nodded and replied, "It's not just the armor. I am reading this novel as it's being made. I know what you're going to do at all times. But yes, my armor is also outside of the narrative and can't be damaged."

Astra simply laughed and said, "I'm still far too fast for you to kill me, so we are at a stalemate." Mazialia looked at Cutecumber and Brazilian Bug Boy who were easy targets. "There can be four survivors. Let's just kill them." he replied. Astra nodded.

As they walked up to them, Cutecumber began screaming in fear. "OCTOPUS MAN! HELP!" she yelled. Octopus Man, who was at the other side of the arena, yelled back. "Not yet. Me and Kookakoo are checking this cow. It's pretty cool." Kookakoo was drinking milk she had gotten from the cow.

Cutecumber just froze as she saw Astra take out her gun, and Mazialia take out his sword. Brazilian Bug Boy sighed and unsheathed his own sword and gripped it tightly.

Brazilian Bug Boy then turned to Cutecumber. "You were so confident back at Landland. Look what happened to you." he said with a scoff.

Cutecumber realized that Brazilian Bug Boy was right. She used to be a fearless person until Uncle Rame threatened to kill her. She just stood up and gripped her cucumber sword.

Claw walked up to Floran slowly. Floran manifested many spears, which she held telekinetically. Each spike impaled Claw, however, he recovered from each blow. He took one of his hands and removed the spears from his body.

Floran stepped backwards, shocked he was so resilient.

Emberlyn, who was still in the box, was trembling in fear with tears in her eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?" Kookakoo asked. Emberlyn screamed loudly. "HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?"

Kookakoo shrugged. "I dunno." she said.

Emberlyn sighed and said, "I am doing this whole contest because I want the key to the world of silver lakes. The silver lakes can remove this curse of flames that endlessly burn on my skin. I'm used to the pain, and I have this fireproof dress suit, but it's not the same as being a normal human. I'm just too scared all the time, and I didn't know it would be this intense."

Kookakoo was sleeping, due to her long story. Emberlyn just looked down sadly.

"Well, how did you make it past the first room?" Octopus Man asked from the other direction. Emberlyn screamed once again, "ANOTHER PERSON?"

Octopus Man shook his head and replied, "No, not a person, I'm half penguin. Anyway, if you're so scared, how did you beat the first room?"

Emberlyn looked away and said, "The Randomizer I faced was air. Literal air, so I just won by default."

"Then what about the second room?" Octopus Man asked. "My teammate for that was Astra, and she did all the work." Emberlyn replied with a sad tone in her voice.

"Then what about 1997?" Octopus Man asked. Emberlyn just looked confused.

As Cutecumber and Brazilian Bug Boy were about to face Astra and Mazialia, they realized there was still one person that never existed their room. THAT THING was just staring at the floor, not moving an inch.
