Terry caught up with Shelby's group and Shelby turned around to see who else had followed. 

"So two of the five came, I guess you guys are on trial periods but first tell us your name and what you can do to contribute to the team" Shelby said and the girl went first. "My name is Jessie, and I know a bit of medical knowledge, I can treat your wounds if you're injured, though major wounds are something I might not be able to handle" Jessie said nervously. 

"A nurse in training, you can heal my wounds anytime" Cody smiled and Arielle elbowed him in the stomach

. 

Terry thought long and hard about what he could do to contribute to the team but all he could think of was draw a blank, he noticed he had no noteworthy skills that the team didn't already have. 

The other guy that was pulled earlier went to introduce himself. The guy looked unsightly, his clothes were stained with food, grease, and other unmentionable objects. His hair was unkempt and his body seemed to be 75% made up of fat. The very sight of him was difficult to look at and the smell was even worse.  "Mitch, Tv freak, knows about most movies, television shows, films, animations,  and animes. as for games and books.... don't ask me"  

"A connoisseur of film I guess" Cody joked and Arielle threw him a look of disdain, causing Cody to shut up. 

Next up was Terry, nervous and afraid that that he would be left behind he hardened his resolve. 

Terry walked up nervously and gulped. "I'm Terry..... No noteworthy skills but I am willing to learn for the team, and if need be I will be...... be...... be a sacrifice" 

Cody went to retort but one look from Arielle and he quieted down. "Nice, a person willing to give for the team, I like this kid already, Good, You are all valuable assets for this mission. I cannot guarantee that you will survive with us, but with us you have a higher chance at living, a much higher one at that"  Shelby smiled. 

"  Death by falling, soon" Mitch said simply and everyone was confused on what he meant. Mitch was unconcerned and he pointed outside the mansion to an inn way down the road.  Hanging from one of the windows a girl attempted to grab the ledge before falling to her death, blood splattering on the concrete. 

At the same time the mansion rumbled, as if it was going to fall down at any second. 

"Cody, Arielle, Move us" Shelby ordered immediately. Arielle closed her eyes and the winds started to pick up, as for Cody he glowed grey and a circle covered the entire group. 

Terry felt himself floating as if gravity didn't apply to him anymore and with the winds he was sent flying. 

The winds slowed his fall and gently placed him on the ground, Terry, unused to this sudden action fell clumsily to the ground, getting a face full of dirt. Mitch and Jessie were in the same boat though Shelby and Co. had landed gracefully

"The people still in the mansion, most likely dead" Caitlyn smirked as she checked her watch. "Confirmed two dead, the last one might be severely injured but no matter" 

Mitch wobbled forward and looked at the people streaming out of the inn to look at the body. "We have to kill the extra person?, she is Reiko Mikami, we kill her the movie is over, simple" Mitch said. 

"Wait, God might have changed the plot, he did that in Alice in Borderland where the Witch who should have been the dead one was actually the guy in bandages" Caitlyn exclaimed. 

"Good point, Though at the time it was  a 19-man Mission, of course God was going to make it difficult for us, this time around its 11-man so I do not believe that God has changed it to much. maybe the disasters will target us more, or the students will turn against us who knows. But we can take a shot and get rid of this "Reiko Mikami" if that is what you call her.  Shelby said.

"Get me close and I can identify her for you" Mitch said and Shelby nodded her head. 

"Eager to get this done I see, I'll make sure you get a proper compensation back in God's Dimension, alright go and point her out" Shelby said and motioned for Cody to go with him. "Arielle whatever you do bring Cody back, he is vital to the team despite his antics"  Shelby said and Arielle only rolled her eyes "Got it mom, anything else" 

"Give him a kiss while your at it" Shelby broke into a grin.  Arielle blushed and turned her head away but she continued after Cody and Mitch. 

"What if this doesn't work?" Jessie asked and Caitlyn just looked at her. "Honey, things always work though some of us might not make it back alive you know" 

Jessie pursed her lips but said nothing. 

Near the hotel Mitch had pointed toward a person and Arielle unleashed a torrent of wind blades, cutting up the women that was the "extra" 

Everyone in the crowd was stunned at what happened. Many of the students ran out of the inn and suddenly it exploded, fire billows out engulfing the trio. 

Jessie stood there dumbfounded and Shelby only sighed. 

Terry was speechless. Are they dead? Is the mission over? What to do next? 

"8 people alive," A voice spoke up and Terry turned to the person who spoke. 

Tyler held up his watch and revealed the player total which was 8. 

So either two people died or just one, who could it be?
