Battle Royale: Day 1 Pre Dawn

[Squishy Cheeks]

The sounds of boots in the hall of the stripped down school house wakes you. Your head feels like someone tried to kick it in. The sliding door is slammed open and several soldiers in uniforms rush in. They are armed with assault rifles. The Soldiers take positions at the front of the class. You can see that it is night out side and in the distance you hear the sound of waves on rocks. Bright lights from a helicoptor flood the room. As it lands outside. A middle aged man in a track suit holding a briefcase is escorted off by more soldiers. The Soldiers flick on the lights, the flourescent bulbs sputter and hum to life, as the man enters and sets his brief case down by the podium. He stands at the podium.

"Class Sit Down," He says calmly.

"SIT DOWN!!!" The Seargeants bark the orders to you.

You take a seat.

"I am Kitano, I will be your instructor. Let us be friends." He smirks confidently as if he is on some joke.


"We have two transfer students. Onizuka over there," He points out the one he refers to. "and Mitsuke over there. Be nice to them."

He turns to the chalk board and begins to write Two letters in the roman alphabet "B.. R.." He follows it with the kanji symbol for law.

[Cloud Strife]

Over in the corner desk, Mitsuke pushed his glasses back into place with his middle finger, momentarily reflecting the light from the florescent bulbs in the room. He took a quick glance around the room to assess everyone there. No one really stood out to him except for the other 'transfer student'.

He must be the other volunteer... I'll save him for last. The others don't look like much of a challenge.

Pity, that.

With that final thought, he turned his attention back to the 'teacher', trying not to look bored.

[Raiden]

Onizuka was leaning back in his chair. His school uniform jacket was open and wrinkled, his died blonde hair making him stand out amongst all the dark haired people. It was quite obvious he wasn't paying attention. Then again, he was in a school. Not listening to the instructor was almost a rule to him. One by one, his eyes scanned the group, chuckling to himself.

Him I'd tie up and leave in the middle of the highway. Him, i'd cut off his fingers and leave him in a hole that was JUST too tall for him to jump out of. I'd drug her, then leave her in Whore Alley.

One by one he was thinking up horrible things he could do to the contestants.

[POS Industries]

Tuesday. It was always Tuesday.

Kanazawa Nagori lifted his head off the desk in front of him and looked around at the run down schoolroom around him. Last thing he remembered was a bus ride for a surprise field trip and then.... here. Short field trip, apparently.

The soldiers filed in and this new professor introduced himself and two new students, none of which held Nagori's attention easily, though the yelling of the sergeants was new. Still, just one bad day on top of an ever-shortening lifetime of him. It wasn't until Kitano wrote the letters "B.R." on the chalkboard that Nagori finally found the situation interesting and, feeling around his neck, first noticed the collar locked around it.

Somewhere, deep down inside himself, Nagori suddenly found the situation to be absolutely hilarious.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Do you know this Law" He says softly. pointing at the words written on the chalk board. He says this like a seasoned proffesinal as a man who has done this many times before.

[Armored Bishoujo]

Sanada Kaori remained respectfully quiet, looking for a way out of this horrible situation and becoming increasingly irritated that one wasn't in plain sight, but also sure that venting right now would lead to some sort of harsh punishment. These people were insane to do something like this to her, but they obviously weren't screwing around, either. She couldn't help her situation as she was so she kept her focus on the instructor and kept quiet otherwise.

[Mesden]

Tayuumi wasn't really listening to the "Teacher". She had already took note of him and how he was. She put aside her confusion to check out her surroundings.

Her eyes were tracing the class in a similar manner to Tomasu's, but her thoughts were different.

She's overly scared. She's confused. So is he...

Then her eyes met with Tomasu's. It was only for a second, but they both gathered their thoughts of the other quickly.

Sociopath...

Then the question was announced.

"Do you know this law?"

He said it so casually. He had obviously had some experience in this situation.

B.R law...B.R law...what the hell? BR?

[POS Industries]

"Do you know this law?"

As no one seemed to be responding, Nagori slowly raised his hand. Kitano saw the raised hand and looked at the seating chart in front of him and then back up to the class. "Ah, yes. Kanazawa?"

"It's.... population control," Nagori answered, half mumbling, "A way to... downsize the overall drain on society in the most Roman-inspired way possible..."

...and you couldn't find a finer bunch of folks to downsize, Nagori thought to himself.

[PhoenixFlame]

Tomoko Akiyo sat quietly in the second row, somewhere near the center of the class. Her eyes gazed respectfully at the teacher and his chalkboard exhibition. In her mind however, Akiyo was terrified.

After all, what field trip does one suddenly black out along with their entire class, and appear in another classroom at...

Akiyo checked her watch.

6:00AM? She had surely missed chemistry because of this, and the soldiers weren't helping her mental state any.

"Do you know what this law is?" The instructor asked. Akiyo knew she had heard of it somewhere before, but the specifics didn't come to mind, until... until Nagori responded.

Then it all made sense. The collar firmly latched around her neck had suddenly made sense also. The med-student's eyes widened in shock as she stared helplessly at the instructor.

No, this couldn't be happening... It had to be a nightmare.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Who are you people?" A girl said, she stood up. "What's happening?" A boy added.

"That's no good" Kitano said. "That's the problem with this country. It's going to hell. Want to know why..." He throws the chalk at Chiaki hitting her in the fore head. "NO WHISPERING, DAMNIT! PAY ATTENTION!"

"Asshole!" she says running up to him. He punches her in the solar plexis dropping her to her knees in second coughing

"Listen up, because of people like Kuriyama-san this country is no good anymore. So the politicians and big wigs in the military got to gether and passed this law. Battle Royale." He points to the board. "Today's lesson is... you kill each other off till there is only one left."

[Raiden]

Tomasu smiled. This was his second Battle Royale. He knew the drill. He also knew the instructor. Some pissant too cowardly to do shit when students upset him, so he runs the Battle Royale to get military backing to abuse the kids all he wants.

His hands were itchy. He wanted his knife so badly. He felt naked without it. But he knew he'd have it replaced soon. When the bags come out...he'd be first in line. He already knew what he wanted.

[Armored Bishoujo]

Koari smirked. "Sounds like the government needs to be overthrown for their blatant disregard for human life." She said, scratching her cheek. "This is something maybe even the Yakuza wouldn't tolerate. And it's not like every last one of us is on a steady path towards the downfall of society. Some of us are good and honest people. It's like some no name moron flipped a yen and didn't care less about the results."
Kaori then looked thoughtful. "Wait, I have a feeling that's exactly how it was. Someone had a giant floorplan of our school on a wall, put a blindfold on, then threw a dart..."
Kaori felt defeated, and kinda looked that way. She wasn't a bad person. She didn't belong here. She had looked around quickly before and was thankful that her friend wasn't forced to come here. Well, they were in different classes.

[Mesden]

There's no way...

Her hand brushed against her neck, ersting on the collar. Suddenly what composure she had seemed to fade. Her skin became pale and her ppils shrunk a bit. After a quick shake of the head and a stare at the determined teacher, she knew what she had to do.

Survive.

Alright, I have to figure how who's who and how they work.

As her eyes traced the classroom, there were only few visible signs. Distress, confusion, fear, anger. There were a few choice reactions though. Those of the two exchange students. They were content with what the Teacher said.

They've done this before...

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Actually your teacher, Togashi-san, said much the same thing when he opposed the selection of Class A. The soldiers wheel in a metal table covered in white plastic sheet. Kitano walks over the table and throws the sheet aside revealing the bloody, yet familiar face of your former teacher. His eyes staring out yet having long clouded over in death. His face frozen in pain and anguish.

The crowd screams in fear and backs away.

"Calm down. This is a no good adult. You will have to try hard not to end up like him."

"Time to watch a video. Try not to fall asleep now."

"The Right Way to Fight a Battle Royale by the BR Act Committee" A young Female voice says. A Red logo appears on the screen It is the letters BR wreathed in a laurel The words spoken are also written over this logo in white.

A girl no more than 25 appears on the screen she is pretty and dressed in bright colors. Her Orange Tanktop says BR across her chest. Her hair is short cut and feathered. She wears a military camoflauge hat and a head set microphone. she salutes you.
"Hello everyone in Class Kenshin Junior High, Class 3-A"

"OK, HELLO!!!" Kitano resoponds enthusiastically clapping, He looks to the class as he sits on the edge of the desk.

"You are the lucky class chosen for this year's Battle Royale! Congratulations!" She says like an overly excited game show host.

"THANK YOU!" Kitano replies offering gratitude to the tv host like the host offered her congratulations.

"Now, Oneesan is going to explain the rules for you. Listen well to fight right and with gusto. You are on a deserted island that looks like this! It's about 10 kilometers around but we evacuated everyone, so it's empty!"

[Cloud Strife]

Mitsuke leaned on his arm, sighing. C'mon, can't we get on with this already? Mitsuke, of course, had seen the video before. They'd go over the rules, give a few tips, and their sadistic instructor would always be happily watching the video screen, talking to the host as if she could hear him.

He clenched and unclenched his free hand. He wanted to get to the fights. And judging from how the class reacted to the realization of what they were going to be doing, he noted that a couple of them may actually present a little challenge. Not much of one, but still, if they got their hands on a gun, he might actually have to formulate a plan to beat them.

For a moment, he glanced at the bloodied, broken corpse of the teacher. He didn't gag. He didn't flinch. He just smirked. He'd be seeing more faces in that twisted pain soon...

Yes, soon. Such a pity for this class.

He smiled at that thought. And his smile was not anything remotely pleasant.

[Armored Bishoujo]

"Now, Oneesan is going to explain the rules for you. Listen well to fight right and with gusto. You are on a deserted island that looks like this! It's about 10 kilometers around but we evacuated everyone, so it's empty!"

Except for only the lost souls condemned to this hell, Kaori thought acidly. These people had gone way too far. This wasn't right, and she'd be denying her humanity by letting these injustices pass without her doing something. If the gods smiled down on Kaori, all these twisted assholes were going to die, right down to the obviously corrupt politians who lined their pockets with gold by sending innocent children and young adults to be slain by friends. By people they knew. Hell, possibly by relatives in they had a brother or sister in the same class. Kaori never killed anyone, but had hurt people in training plenty of times, and she would enjoy putting down these psychotic animals in human guise.

[PhoenixFlame]

"Fight right and with Gusto."

The words stuck in Akiyo's head like hydrochloric acid. Fight right? Winner? How could you call someone who'd killed and seen killed 36 of their friends murdered a winner? It had to be the most un-victorious thing anyone could ever be forced to do.

'Do no harm', they said. The goverment said, in Med class. After all, they'd wanted Akiyo to save lives then, and right now, she really wondered why she had taken all those classes if the goverment was just going to turn around one day and essentially say, "Oh! just kidding!" and cackle psychopathically.

"I've never killed anyone before..." Akiyo paniced in her own mind, "I guess I'd better learn quick... Or have a psychotic episode."

And then her eyes met Tomasu's. Yes... Being psychotic didn't seem so bad, after all, he seemed to know what he was doing.

As if he'd done it before...

Several times.

Then it hit her. They weren't going to be killing each other, they'd be slaughtered by their "transfer students", whom, as far as Akiyo knew, were goverment agents. Suddenly, killing them didn't seem so bad anymore, as they were monsters anyway.

[Raiden]

Tomasu was mouthing the words the woman in the movie said. He had memorized this video already. This woman would speak in a way that gave false hope to the weak and would greatly offend the strong.

He shrugged. Whatever they had to do. But he was getting antsy.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"The island's divided into many zones. Every six hours, your teacher'll broadcast updates about which zones are becoming danger zones."

"Four times a day." Kitano adds.

"D-6 will be the first Danger Zone. If you're in those zones, you should leave quickly...because the danger is...

"OK, about the necklaces you're wearing.

"They're 100% waterproof and shockproof...and permanent. It monitors your pulse, informing us of your location and movements. So if you linger in a danger zone, or cause trouble, we can identify you and transmit radio waves that trigger an alarm and boom! It explodes! If you try to rip it off, it explodes too, so promise not to do that, okay?" She almost sounds sad at this prospect.

[Armored Bishoujo]

Kaori grinned slightly. A localized explosion at the neck would be a quicker and less painful death than she would expect from some people. Then it hit her. If during a battle that she was going to lose, or maybe at somewhere important to the enemy, she messed with the explosive choker...
It sounded crazy, but everything about this island was crazy. If she could save lives by sacrificing her own at some point, it might be a wise choice to take out a number of opponents with a suicide bomber attack. It even occured to Kaori that she could rush the stage and activate the bomb, putting down all if not some of the monsters this island was a paradise to, but the thought of injuring someone she didn't want to hurt kept her back. So she just sat there, listening to the video. There might actually be things of vital importance like the mention of the explosive weapon she had within reach.

[Wolf99x]

Kusanagi didn't speak as he watched the movie. He was mostly afraid about the two transfer students, they were X-factors.

I don't expect any of my classmates to be callous enough to have the killer instinct...hell i don't even have it. But those transfers...who can tell what they have in their minds?

He could feel the collar against his neck. Then again i don't have a choice. While i'd rather not like to kill...it looks like that may be the only way i can stay alive.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Oh, I forgot one important thing. There's a time limit on this game! If we haven't got a winner after 3 days...all the necklaces automatically explode! And no-one wins. As long as we're here, let's fight hard so that doesn't happen!"

Kitano had one of the soldiers stop the video.

"Does anybody have any questions at this point?"

[POS Industries]

"Does anybody have any questions at this point?"

Nagori stayed quiet, as he often did, though he was tempted to ask the question to which he already knew the answer for the sake of reassurance. Even still, the answer was very loud and very clear. For the first time in longer than he could hope to remember, Kanazawa Nagori was actually excited about something.

This is it, he thought, a faint smile crossing his face, They're all going to pay, every single one of them. Live or die, I'm finally going to be free... This is too good to pass up!

[Armored Bishoujo]

Kaori wanted to keep quiet, but something bothered her and she just had to voice it. It might actually steel her resolve to put these bastards down for good.

"What does the last one standing get?"

[Squishy Cheeks]

"To go home and have a life, but only if all the rest are dead." Kutano said.

[Ryu Kurai]

Niryu had already decided that he didn't like this. His blood was practically boiling in his veins. He eyed the military brass up at the front of the room with a glare of pure hatred and the perky woman with an equally acidic grimmace. He was about ready to snap, but realized even befor his anger had reached its peak that he would have to save it to preserve himself. He considered the danger zones for a moment. They seemed like an awfully easy way to kill a lot of people at once. He raised his hand and began his question without waiting from acknowledgement from the "instructor". "Sir," He said in a soft, but forceful voice, "How long precisely may we linger in these danger zones before the collars detonate?"

[TheSpacePope]

Karuma closed his eyes. How did this happen?
Slowly he opened his eyes, he scanned the room.
He saw a few faces that he recognized, even the girl that he had a crush on was here. He vowed to silently protect her, until the last. Dammit, would he have to kill his silent love? What if she lost her glasses, dammit, dammit.
"I must get off this Island, He fingered the hidded tanto restlessly. "I could kill the instructor, but we have no way of getting these collars off." His mind raced as to how to save them all.
He closed his eyes again, "When will this nightmare end."

[Raiden]

Onizuka Tomasu struck the desk he was sitting at hard. The sudden sound made all the fearful class members shift their heads to his direction.

"Enough questions. We are here for a single purpose, and that purpose is to kill eachother. Let's go."

[Squishy Cheeks]

"To answer the question you have ten minutes to leave a danger zone." Kitano said.

[Wolf99x]

"one...last question." Kusanagi asked carefully choosing his words. "Why is the government doing this?"

[Squishy Cheeks]

"It's your own fault really. You kids mock us, your parents, the military, the government all the adults. Fine, mock us, just remember Life is a game. So fight for survival and see if you are worth it."

The back wall opened up and several more soldiers come in with lrolling luggage racks each is loaded with green duffle bags. The students in the way move out as the soldier push the racks to the front.

"Back to the video." Kitano said.

You'll leave the room one by one, but first you get a kit. Inside is food and water, a map and a compass, a flashlight and a weapon. So check it out later, OK? The girls might need personal items so you can all take them. Each weapon is different. Not just guns and knives, either. It's random, so maybe you'll get lucky, maybe not. It eliminates natural advantages. The video girl pulls a sledge hammer out of the bag. She gasps and looks shocked. "this one's super lucky!"

"We've notified your parents, so feel free to go for it." Kitano says.

"Ok, You'll be leaving by class number. When I call your name I want to hear a nice big HERE!" The camera zooms in on her. "Boy #1 Kusanagi"

[Armored Bishoujo]

Kaori frowned. Personal items were fine but she'd be just as happy to have one of her shrine maiden uniforms. She always felt strong when wearing her outfit.
And what was all this about mocking authority? And that her parents were already notified? That was all bullshit. She was a hard working student who gave her teachers the respect they deserved and studied hard. She was a shrine maiden to boot! She loved her parents and did her best not to trouble anyone! These people were outrageous liars on top of being cold-blooded murderers with corrupt governmental agency backing, and Kaori would sooner die a thousand deaths than let this...this nightmare continue as its orchestrators saw fit. Oh, yes. Kaori would make every last one of these monsters pay if she got even the slightest chance of it.
She didn't like the barely controllable hatred that was building inside her body like a devouring inferno, but decided she would repent for her dark thoughts once all these bastards paid in full for this.

[MC43]

I... I may have to take someone's life? That's the last thing I could do. I can't do this! Why did this have to happen to me? What did I do wrong in this world that I have to be subjected to this!?

Kazuki's eyes were slammed shut, and his hands were holding his head as he silently turned it from side to side. He knew full well that he couldn't kill anyone, but from the looks of some of the people around, they had no problem ripping the life force from him.

He took a breath and looked up, a slight hint of determination that sparkled in his eye, which quickly faded into nothing. I just... I just have to get through this. But only one person can leave this island alive? The chances aren't looking good...

He squeezed his eyes closed once more and held his head. At least... I did what I could while I was here...

[Wolf99x]

Kusanagi was scared, but he figured he'd better just go with what they'd say and go with it.

"HERE!" he shouted, trying to keep as much fear out of his voice as possible.

[Squishy Cheeks]

A soldier threw a pack off the rack at him. Then pointed for him to leave the room.

"GET GOING!" Another soldier barks at him pushing him into the hall.

[Wolf99x]

Kusanagi ran through the hall out into the unknown outside.

I need to take stock of what i have he thought. Spotting some rocky outcroppings near a beach, he ran towards them. Discovering that they were caves, he took refuge in one and opened up the pack he had been tossed. Inside was the provisions, as well as an aluminum baseball bat.

Hm...not bad, not bad.

He decided right now the best idea was to hide out in this cave and see if he could either avoid or ambush anybody who came by.

[Raiden]

Tomasu's foot was tapping loudly on the floor. He wanted to get his bag. He wanted to get his weapon. He wanted to go play!

While waiting for his turn, his eyes went about the room and started picking them out. He decided to look over the girls first. They always had more interesting deaths than men.

His eyes went to a cute girl with long black hair.

With those legs...a runner, or something involves running. Muscles in all the right places....upper body strength nothing to worry about. If she gets a heavy weapon, she won't be a hard kill. I'll enjoy finishing her off. I didn't like how she was staring at me anyway.

His eyes moved on and rested upon what looked like a 'nice' girl.

Nice legs, close to the other's but different. Those legs were meant for speed bursts, not long distance. Volleyball, maybe tennis. She's more used to striking back and forth. Hopefully she'll get something that weighs her down. She'd be good at projectiles. Keep my head down when she's around. Other than that, if caught by surprise she'll be another easy take. She looks pretty desperate. Who knows...maybe I'll get more fun than I thought from her.

His eyes landed upon a girl with framesless round glasses.

Weak. Her fingers are slender, though. She's obviously worked with them doing something. Otherwise, weak. Won't be any fun killing that one at all.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Girl #1 Inada"

"Hai." She said and stood. She let go of her friends hand and nervously walked to the soldiers.

"ON THE DOUBLE!!!" A soldier barks he throws the bag to her and she runs out of the room in tears.

"Boy #2 Ando." Masanobu Ando ran up took his bag he turned and gave a thumbs up to his friends he then disapeared into the night.

"Girl #2 Ishikawa." Eri Ishikawa She let go of her friends hand and nervously walked to the soldiers.


"boy #3 Hirokawa" Hirokawa ran up and took his bag. He looked back and winked.

"Girl #3 Eto" Megumi Eto stood and hugged her boyfriend Hiroshi, shakily tears were running down her face. she took the bag thrown to her, and in protest threw it at Kitano. Kitano caught it and laughed.

"I'll wait for you." she said. She ran up and took the bag and left down the corridor.Megumi ran out of the room.


"boy#4 Akamatsu" Yoshio Akamatsu walked up ignoring the soldiers yells. He looked back and smiled at Aki He took the bag and left.

"Girl #4 Ogawa" Sakura Ogawa dissengaged from her friend ran up and took the bag thrown to her

"Boy #4 Akira" (ooc: that's you major blood.)

(ooc:Time's up.)

"I absolutely refuse," Matsuo said standing. "I'm no murderer; like you." Matsuo picked up his book bag and threw them at the soldiers. Three soldiers grabbed matsuo and restrained him two on his arms one faced his head towards Kitano.

"I really hate to do this." He said pulling a remote out of his pocket. He pressed a button and a red light started to flash on Matsuo's collar. followed by a beeping. Both the flashing and beeping got closer and closer together. The soldiers let him go and returned to their positions. He clutched his neck as he realized what was going to happen.

"better run." Kitano chuckled.

Matsuo fell to his knees as everyone ran away from him. The explosion was small just enough to create a large gash from jugular to jugular His blood sprayed up and he fell on his back.

"Girl #4 Kaori" (AB you are up.)

[Armored Bishoujo]

Kaori promptly rose, took her bag, and left with a cold, yet bleak expression. The expression of one who really didn't want to do this but obviously couldn't figure out any other way to make any progress. There had to be some kind of way. If she could survive long enough, she might just find one. First, to put some distance between her and any other students. No need to become a casualty in what would probably become a bigger bloodbath.

[Raiden]

Thomas saw the blood. He smelled the powder used in the explosion. He looked at the faces of horror and fear on the faces of others.

And he smiled.

[POS Industries]

Nagori watched Matsuo's head a'splode, and aside from the loud "BANG" from it, he couldn't say he was too terribly shocked. All he could say was the Matsuo got what he deserved. Spoiled rich brat, the sycophants flocking to him because "I done seen him on the TV" or some other vapid nonsense. Just because he was one of the pretty people, the Akira boy just assumed that the rules never applied to him.

Well, see how far that attitude gets you?

[Squishy Cheeks]

Boy #6 Kazuki

(ooc: mc43 you're up)

[MC43]

He stayed in his seat for a moment or two as he soaked in what just happened in front of him. Oh snap! He shouted to himself. What the hell had he gotten into?

"Kazuki!" His voice was yelled out again.

He quickly stood up, recieved his bag and bolted out of the room like a bat out of hell. Turning out into what looked like a sandy beach, he found himself some cover behind a rock and plastered his back to it. Breathing in quick breaths. "This is not good!" Kazuki nearly shouted to himself outloud.

After a few minutes of panting, he shook his head and started to gather his bearings. From here on out, this was a game, and he had to treat it as one, if he was to make it out of here alive. He moved his back off the rock and unzipped his bag to see just what he had.

[Cloud Strife]

Mitsuke sighed. Damn. He looked like he might have been fun, too. Ah well. He waited - fairly impatiently - for his name to be called.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Girl #6 Kato" Misao Kato stood and nervously walked around the gore

"GET A MOVE ON!" the soldiers shouted.

"Hai." she said back nervously and took her pack

"Boy #7 Matsuzawa" Ren Matsuzawa Stood and ran to his bag, the athletic lad scopped it up in one hand and caught his pack in the other. He was off into the night.

"Girl #7 Akiyo" (ooc: you're up phoenix)

[PhoenixFlame]

"He-here!" Akiyo stammered, getting up and fixing her glasses quickly, as the soldier tossed her her dufflebag. It wasn't heavy, but she still staggered back a step or two from the suprise. Quickly dumping the contents of her schoolbag into the duffle, she hustled outside after the others.

After all, she didn't want to explode, like Matsuo...

"I'm in hell. There isn't any other explaination for this..." Akiyo thought to herself with supreme agitation. As she left the structure, she ran, and ran for quite some time before feeling it safe to stop and examine her belongings.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Boy #8 Oda" Toshimori Oda stood and ran to collect his bag. He slipped on the blood. The soldiers threw the bag to him knocking him down again. He stood and ran out.

"Girl #8 Maeda" Aki Maeda collected her bag and ran out

"Boy #9 Tomasu" (raiden you are up.)

[Raiden]

Tomasu got up casually from his seat and walked towards the front. The soldiers tossed him his bag, which he grabbed with one hand and casually flipped over his shoulders.

Just before he left the room, he stopped and looked back at the class. The most evil of smiles was on his face.

"I'll see you guys outside."

Then he left.

[Mesden]

That guy is some sick bastard. After I caught his look over he started staring me over. He knows what he is doing. He probably started picking out who to kill first and I'm on his list.

She looked around to the rest of the class. Nervousness filling the room like some deadly gas.

And see us outside...Wait...does he mean?...Fuck. The next person that goes outside is screwed...

She dropped her face in her hands and just waited for her name, hoping it wasn't the next one.

[Squishy Cheeks]

"Girl #9 Mutsuye" Akimoto Mutsuye stood. She took her bag and turned to the class and smiled. She slong the bag over her shoulder and smiled.

"Boy #9 Yojjite" (cloud you are up)

[Cloud Strife]

((OOC: It's Yijjito...))

Yijjito smiled and stood up. "Here, sensei!" he barked out. Finally... He walked swiftly up to the front of the class, and a soldier tossed him his back, which his caught with one hand, his schoolbag already in the other. He turned to the class and smiled that same sadistic smile he had when he saw the teacher's corpse. Mitsuke then left the room, heading out onto the island quickly and heading into the forest.

As soon as he found a concealed spot within a particularly thick copse of trees, he sat down and swore. "Dammit." He knew that whatever he had wasn't an advantageous weapon. The bag was too light to have anything that he wanted. Well, better find out what it is. When he opened the bag and found his weapon, he didn't swear. He actually chuckled when he pulled out the fork. Well well well... this Battle Royale should be particularly fun and challenging, it seems...

Perfect.

[Squishy Cheeks]

ooc: for expediencey

"Girl #10 Megumi"
"Boy #11 Onishi"
"Girl #11 Mimura"
"Boy #12 Kuronaga"
"Girl #12 Shimizu"
"Boy #13 Itai" (space pope you're up.)

[TheSpacePope]

Hai!
Slowly Karuma stood, he walled lazily to the front of the class, he wanted to be slow about it, giving some of the weaker students more precious moments of life. He stopped, "What the hell am I doing, these kids are in a living hell.' He snapped back to reality as the solider roughly tossed him the bag.
HAJIME!, the teacher screamed.
Karuma summoned his fortitude and ran out the door. He ran to the left, as he had seen most go to the right. His eyes closed as he ran and he envisioned her, where she would be. He didn't bother to look in the bag just yet, he just ran until it felt as if his lungs would burst. He found an outcropping of rock and proceded to make a camp there, forsaking fire though it was cold and it began to rain a little. He knew that those sadistic fucks were out here, and he had to find them, he may be the only one with the skill to defeat them. He sat cross legged, letting his hara go before him. He would feel them coming, and they would have hell to pay. He finally looked into the bad and pulled out the sai. He thought this will do nicely. he then stripped off all of the white that he was wearing, and hid it in the alcove, then he split the seam of his jacket and pulled out the tanto he was saving. he stuffed his weapons in his belt and sat down to meditate again.

She took her steps to the guards quickly and snatched the bag before they could throw it.

Not really heavy...

Out the door she went as she slung her back on her back along with her school bag. As soon as she made it out the door she went full sprint to her right until she came upon a thickening of trees and took the spot as her temporary hiding grounds.

"Now let's see what hope I have..."

She opened the bag to find a .44, the official hand cannon gun, with cases of ammo for it.

Damn it. I've never used a gun before. Guess I'll have to make do.

She took a swig of water from one of the bottles before placing it back in her bag and sighed to herself.

A damned nightmare. The worst kind possible. The real kind.

[Raiden]

Tomasu was a short distance from the school, hiding in a forested area. If anyone was trying to sneak up on him, he'd hear it.

He had opened his bag and looked over the weapon he had been given. He had seen it used in the last Royales he was in, but never managed to get his hand on it. But he did now.

"This....will bring fun."

Today was the best day ever.

Upon hearing his name called, Nagori responded with the requisite "Hai!" He then rose from his seat and walked - nay, strutted - down the aisle, looking each of his fellow remaining students squarely in the eyes as he passed them. They were all so terrified, not the big scary monsters that he'd always seen them as before. No, today they were no better than him, maybe even worse. Sure, this may very well be his last day on Earth, but he gets to spend it doing the one thing he's dreamed about for years.

Finally, as he arrived at the front of the class, one of the soldiers tossed him his special pack, to which Nagori thanked him with a confident "Arigato" before turning to shoot his classmates a wink before exiting the classroom.

Best. Day. Ever.

Niryu stood up quickly and walked to the front of the room, grabbing his bag out of the hands of the soldier holding it and walking out of the room without so much as a second glance at him. He opened his bag, sorting through the previously mentioned items to find the clearly labeled bottle of potassium cyanide. Hmm, let's see, if I remember from chemestry, pure potassium combusts when combined with water, and cyanide is a powerful poison. So, hopefully this is a poison. Hmm, maybe I can... His mind trailed off into ways of killing the others. He, for a moment, couldn't believe he was thinking about killing the others so quickly. Maybe it was that survival instinct he had been told he exibited so vibrantly by his sensei. He felt his blood run cold. he could feel his adrenaline seeping a bit into his blood, ready to trigger at the slightest provocation. He didn't care who did what, he would leave this island alive.

"I am h-here!" Oritotsuke exclaimed, with a slight stammer in his voice. He made his way to the front of the room, and took his bag from the guard, his hands only slightly shaking.

Oritotsuke walked quickly out of the building, with slight beads of sweat on his forhead and his eyes slightly unfocused, probably from having his contacts in this whole time.

He picked his way south of the school, and looked through the bag he was given. He placed the laminated map necklace around his neck, and put the dry erase pen into his pocket. He left the canteen, buns and beef jerky in the bag, and pulled out the Beretta. "A...gun. Wow. This'll be just like when I pwned those guys in Halo 2, if I could see right, that is..."

The rest of the students colected their packs as the video called their name. Kitano and the soldiers moved to the control room. Kitano picked up the microphone.

With a quick glance at the map she dug out first, Kaori realized that they started off pretty well, making their controlled area the danger zone. Kaori figured she had distanced herself enough from that particular portion of the map and sorted through her things, coming up with boxing gloves. She sighed, thinking she might actually be more capable at killing someone without wearing these than otherwise. She didn't put them on yet. She needed her hands to be free.
"Twenty-four hours for one of the Chosen to die or all die."
"Seventy-two hours to reduce the number of Chosen to one or all die."
"...Shit."
Yep, that pretty much summed up Kaori's feelings on the matter. Judging from at least two of the individuals, combat and death was definitely going to occur very close to where they all started. Distance was best from the start. Setting her sights, Kaori began moving southeast towards what appeared to be a shrine on the map.

Akiyo took her bag, and map, and located a deserted factory complex. She needed somewhere to hide, somewhere to equip herself...

Because, as she bewilderedly removed the stretch of piano wire in her bag, she learned that the goverment was not only sadistic, but had a cruel sense of humor.

"Touche'." thought she, "I march into battle atop a lame duck, with my mighty piano wire as my sword."

Perhaps the factory would have something useful... At least rebar could kill someone without ambush, and... Akiyo mentally slapped herself. She was thinking about killing people, and not just any people. It was a necessity, however.

She quickly made her way southwest, moving as silently as possible though the foresty jungle.

Karuma looked behind him, He made some mental calculations as to how high he was. Straining his eyes, he looked acroos the island. From his vantage point, he could see anyone coming from all directions. and the small outcropping of rock protected him from harm. He remembered her, he began to pick his way down the opposite side of the mountain. He was not going to let her die before she knew.

How long had he run for? He brought his attention to the map that was supplied and looked it over. "From the looks of it, if I had certainly run in a straight line..." he pulled out the compass, "...Northward..." he looked back to the map, "...that would place me... here. At E6." He took a look at the rest of the map. "Damn... if I knew there was a clinic to the south of here, I would have ran that way. Instead... it looks like I'll have a lot of ground to cover, and God knows how many of those crazy bastards are in the jungle waiting for me."

He put the map away and checked what else he had in the duffle. "Hm... the flashlight will help me, but I'll have to save on the batteries. Besides... walking around in the dark may be a better idea. However... it looks like there isn't any other use for anything else. A marker? A necklace? A bag!? What the hell am I to do with all this? And what the hell is this heavy...?" He tugged at the vest that was there. "Hm... heavy. Durable. This must be a bullet-proof vest." He made quick to throw it on, but stopped before strapping it, "Wait a sec..." He paused, took his shirt off, put the vest on his bare skin, then replaced the shirt, "With this... I"ll look a little bigger than normal, as well as looking like I'm defensless. While I'm sure it won't save me, it'll at least give me an edge if I get in a face to face confrontation."

He took the map back out, after stuffing everything back in, and sighed, "Ok... right now... I need a plan..."

[Raiden]

Status / Position: Fine (Shotgun) / E5 (going W to E4)

After making sure his shotgun was loaded and ready, he got up and headed out for his destination. He already knew where he was going. There was an abandoned factory that kids usually ran to in the hopes of finding better weapons. If he was lucky, he'd find one there.

Well, time to get things started. Mitsuke stood up and started making his way down to the Clinic. He knew that students would head down in that direction, trying to take up shelter there, thinking that they could somehow survive longer there. Well, he knew their tricks... they wouldn't last too long. He grinned at that, but he stayed alert. There were quite a few students who'd left before him, including Tomasu. And he would be the most fun of all of them.

Status/ Position: Healthy/ E6 (Going S to H-6)

Niryu moved quickly, listening carefully for any movement and glancing around peroidically. He'd be damned if anyone would sneak up on him. He also kept watch for anything he could use as a sort of delivery for the poison. His mind immediately lept to killing someone else and taking their weapon. He acknowledged that this would be a good plan. He still didn't like the idea of killing, but he swore that when he was done with this, he would kill whatever kind of sick bureocrat made this game. The lake looked like a good place to go for some reason. He had learned to follow his instincts in his training, and part of him hoped that they wouldn't lead him to his demise. He forced the thoughts from his mind, but not before he had seen himself dead in his mind's eye and realized his impending mortality.

No. I can do this. I can come out on top. He reassured himself, still keeping watch on his surroundings.

[Cloud Strife]

(OOC: First kill is mine, according to JAD.)

Mitsuke was walking along quietly when he stopped, keeping silent. Someone's coming... He quickly took shelter behind a tree, away from the noise, and watched as a boy came by, grumbling. Hm... that's Akamatsu... I wonder what he has? He grinned as the boy walked right past him. Only one way to find out..

Without warning, Mitsuke jumped out and tackled Akamatsu to the ground, clamping a hand over the boy's mouth, and stabbed right at his neck several times, hitting the trachea and the jugular, which started bleeding profusely. Mitsuke smirked as he heard the boy gasping for breath, clawing at Mitsuke's strong grip, but he soon blacked out, taking one last gurgling breath before his entire body slumped, dead.

Once he was certain that the fight was finished, he let go of the boy and wiped the fork on Akamatsu's shirt. Now, to find out what he has... Mitsuke rifled through the boy's duffle bag, not finding a weapon, but he pulled out a device of some sort. Finding the power switch, he turned it on... and grinned. Oh, this will be most excellent, indeed... and it seems that there is someone in this sector... perhaps I should check out who that is. Grinning, he set off to find his next victim, tracking device in hand, not bothering to clean up any of the mess he had created.

OOC: Jad says i got the next kill

BIC: Status/Position: Healthy (Baseball Bat), E-1

Kusanagi heard a noise, somebody was moving towards his cave. He gripped the bat in his hands and instantly his mind filled with thoughts.

what if they don't want a fight, what if it's a girl, can i murder a girl in cold blood? Maybe i should just wait and see what's going to happen, maybe they'll just pass by me.

He saw a lithe form begin to enter his field of view. It was definetely female, and she didn't seem to see him. Just to be safe he tried to slink back more into his cave, when the bat hit the cave wall, sending a resonating metal clank.

The girl turned, and raised her pistol. She fired a hasty shot, possibly not even with a solid bead on Kusanagi, and he felt the bullet whistle past his cheek.

SHIT! he thought Damn it, now it's a fight for survival, no other way

He exploded from the cave, baseball bat ready to swing. The girl, who he now saw was Eri Ishikawa, attempted to take another shot at him, but that shot missed low hitting the dirt near his foot.

Kusanagi swung and connected with her head. He heard a sickening crunch and Eri fell like a puppet with it's strings cut.

Must've caught her right on the temple... he thought as he checked for a pulse and found none.

looting through her gear, he found the ammo for her pistol and her pistol, which was a Sig Sauer.

This could come in handy. Eri, I'm sorry it had to end like this...but you shot first and it was either you or me

He consulted his map quickly for his next move. And decided to move to a different cave a bit south

Toshimori Oda saw her walking through the woods, Mutsuye, beatiful sexy Mutsuye. He wanted her so badly. He stayed awake nights dreaming about her. He pulled out the machette from his pack he wanted it for courage.

"Oi! Mutsuye-chan." He called.

She stopped and turned to face him. She smiled that mischievious smile of hers.

"Oda isn't it?"

He was stunned she didn't even know his name. His face turned red.

"Stop right there. you're coming with me."

She laughed. "going to hit me with that silly garden tool, or do you think you can use you're going to use that useless pee pee of yours."

"You're not going to deny me."

She reached behind her and pulled out her weapon the black gun metal gleamed in the moon light and it clicked nicely as she cocked it back. She continued to smile.

"Th... that's your weapon?" he said with fear in his voice.

She nodded ever smiling. "You like it? I think it's the best."

He gulped. "You're go... go..."

she nodded before he could finish. "What's wrong with killing? Everyone has their reasons."

The staccato shots rang out and echoed around the island.

Equipped, he looked himself over, "Hm... dark cargos, but a bright t-shirt. I'm going to stand out like a sore thumb wherever I go. I'm might have to switch clothes sometimes. Someone has to have a dark shirt to help me blend in. Dark green or brown would work the best. Easier to get down in the dirt or in a patch of grass."

He grinned slightly, "Thank you Metal Gear..."

Pulling out the map once more he pointed to where he was. "Ok... it looks like if I go east for this amount, then head due south, I should reach the clinic before the night is over. I'll have to be stealthy though. I don't want anyone to jump me. Hm... Maybe I should go the streets. No, I'll be easy pickings for those with a gun."

He shook his head violently, "Wait a sec? What am I saying? Am I planning on how I'm not going to die out here? What the hell is the government doing to me? I can't believe I'm saying ANY of this." He took a breath. "It doesn't matter. You're here now, and you have to do this." He looked back down at the map. "The clinic is going to be your best bet. But will it though? I'm not going to be the only one thinking this, and I'm not excatly going to be the most prepared. I don't even have a weapon for God sakes! I only have my hands. I don't know how to hurt someone with my hands, much less kill someone with them."

He patted his chest, "I know this is a good thing that I have the vest, and it'll give me the element of defense, but that's it. I don't have an offense! I'm screwed if I get in a face to face event." He shook his head furiously and then back down to the map. "Ok... your best bet is to stay in the jungle. While your shirt is going to stick out... wait..." He removed the shirt all together and threw it in the duffel. "Well... it's a start. My arms aren't covered, but I can hide them easy enough. I'll at least be more hidden than not. Ok! Forest it is!"

As Oritotsuke was checking to see how much ammo came with the gun, he heard a group of people coming toward him. When he looked up, he saw, much to his relief, Nagori Kanazawa, Masanobu Ando, and Mizuho Inada, his gaming friends. "Hi! I'm glad to see you three."
"Hi."
"Hello."
"Heya Dorito! They gave me a katana."
"Cool, I have this pistol. So, what's the plan?"
"We're going down to I10" Ando says, pointing at the spot on the map.
"Why?" says Oritotsuke.
"Is any place really any better than any other?"
"I guess not."
"Anyway, let's get going before someone finds us."
"Okay."

The shots of the AK47 thundered in the air.

"This is our Light house, get lost." A girls voice called down from a hidden position on the tower.

Status / Position: Healthy (Piano Wire) / E4.

Akiyo made her way to the factory without much incident, finding a remote corner of the building with a still functioning door. Perhaps, with any luck, she could use it as a makeshift fortress or trapped room, or whatever came to mind.

So long as they'd come to her, and she wouldn't have to kill them in cold blood. Anything, something...

The med-student made her way inside, and cautiously checked the interior, looking for items of note.

[Raiden]

Tomasu stared out over to the abandoned factory. He saw the frail girl go inside. He let out a small smile, which was only intensified by the pain he felt. He had missed a sharp branch, and there was now a thin gash on his arm. No matter. She wouldn't be much of a fight.

*******************************

Akiyo shivered as she heard the door swing open, and meekly poked her head outside from behind the desk she was hiding under, to see an apparrently unarmed man.

"... W-why are you here!" she demands, trying to remain hidden, but getting an answer out of him.

"Hehehe....I followed you. Isn't it obvious?"

Tomasu walked forward, his blond dyed hair swinging back and forth in front of his eyes. He had the cruelest smile one could imagine. He had a long bump inside his left pants leg.

No, not him!

Akiyo leaned back agaisnt the wall of the leg-space of the desk she was hiding under, and tried to control her breathing.

"... What do you want?" she continues, a tone of fear readily apparrent in her voice.

"I want from you what I want from everyone here."

He stopped in front of the desk, and did a steady...and haunting...beat upon the top of the desk with his hand, just above Akiyo's head.

"I want you to die for me."

So this is the end, is it? Akiyo mused to herself, frightened all beyond what she'd ever been before in her life. She didn't doubt for a moment that Tomasu would not hesitate to kill her in the worse possible way, for he sounded very serious about the ordeal. She had to fight back... Somehow...

Akiyo looked down, through the two inches of space between the floor and the bottom of the desk, at Tomasu's left boot. Taking her wire, she bent it and tried to slip it around his foot and tie it to the desk's leg.

Tomasu was already looking down. When Akiyo attempted to snag his foot, it went up and stepped down hard on the fingers that were sticking through.

"Aaargh!" Akiyo screams, trying to slip her hand free.

Tomasu held down with enough pressure to not break her fingers, but to also ensure she couldn't slip away.

"Hehehe....fighting back? Though it wasn't a very effective move, I suppose I have to respect it."

"Urrgh!" She whines at the pain, but stops trying to slip away to lessen the intensity, "P-please, I don't want to fight you, just leave me alone..."

Tomasu crunched down a bit harder on her hand, then lifted his foot.

"You know the rules. I can't simply leave you here alone. Then someone else would show up...and I wouldn't get the pleasure of your death."

Tomasu walked slowly around the desk to the opening.

"Tell me, bitch. What would you have done if you trapped me like that? Would you have killed me?"

"... I honestly can't say..." she says, pleadingly, "I know the rules, but I'm scared... I'm... I'm not a murderer!"

"That's too bad. It really is."

He stopped in front of the gap.

"Get out. Now."

Akiyo slid out of the desk, but didn't rise, rather sitting in front of Tomasu, knees forward, legs aside, looking up at him with a terrified look.

"Please, don't kill me... You're just hurting yourself!" she begs.

Tomasu reached down to her head, and clenched down tightly with his grip. He could see she felt pain from him putting her head under such pressure. He pushed her roughly to the side, knocking her to the ground.

"Huh...that didn't feel painful to me at all. YOU seem to be the only one hurting."

Akiyo shivered, in both pain and fear, and rolled to look back up at him, sliding her legs back to allow her to stand up if she needed to.

This guy is nuts... I'm not getting anywhere...

"You're going to kill everyone alone?" she asks, horrified, "You can't possibly think you can do it by yourself, can you?"

Tomasu reached down to his hips and moved his hand under his waist band. His hand gripped around the shotgun, and ceremoniously pulled it out.

"Of course I think I can. This is my second Battle Royale. I won my last one. I killed....everyone. So much pleasure."

Tomasu walked forward slowly, and placed the nozzle of the shotgun against Akiyo's head.

"And now...you will bring me pleasure."

"No, wait!" Akiyo screamed, "You need me alive! Stop, and think about what you're doing!"

Tomasu's finger was shaking. He wanted to pull the trigger so badly!

"What possible reason would there be for keeping you alive?"

Akiyo pointed up at his left arm, "Look, you're wounded! I... I can help you! I mean, what if you got hurt when you killed all those people?"

Akiyo was mentally kicking herself now. She was begging a psychotic murderer to spare her life if only to help him kill people? Still... She'd been trained to help anyone who was wounded, even if they were like Tomasu... Then again, that was the same people who had thought it a good idea to have her killed by him.

Tomasu lifted his boot up, and kicked Akiyo down to the ground. He aimed his shotgun at her gut, keeping her lying down on the floor.

"Fine then. You can wrap me up. Then I'd kill you afterwards. You don't seem to understand. I gain pleasure from these games. By not killing you, I'm taking pleasure away. I won't do that for anyone."

Great, I've postponed my inevitable demise by thirty seconds. Best keep grabbing straws... Akiyo's dry, traumatic stress-based sarcasm boiled through her head, as she meekly stood up and retrieved her medkit from her duffle-bag.

"Games? What do you mean?" She asks, trying to remain as submissive as possible while asking Tomasu these questions. Tomasu sat down in a chair, and rested the shotgun on his leg while keeping it aimed at Akiyo.

"The games. The enjoyment of watching someone die a horrible death. It's why I didn't shoot you while you were under the desk. I'd play with you first. Then do whatever I felt like. And when I was done playing, you'd die.

"Heh... You sound like my dentist..." Akiyo tried to joke, obviously without any heartedness in the phrase at all. "Listen... What if I... I played with you? Like, you know, a gameshow host?"

Now Akiyo needed her head checked. Something had gone wrong, and all her alarms went off in her head at once. Still, Tomasu was going to kill her if she didn't find some way to convince him otherwise. He narrowed his eyes at her.

"I don't need someone to merely be an observer. If you want to play the game, you play it. And I don't think you've got what it takes to get me the pleasure I need from it."

"Got to think, of something... Convince him I can be a sick bastard too..."

And then it hit her.

Shuffling through the bag, she pulled out her med-3 textbook, and flipped it open to basic anatomy.

"Listen, I think you underestimate just how good at playing games I am..." She says, almost accusatory, though her voice still very fearful, and even one of anguish. She points at the descending aorta of the generic cross-section man, and looks up at Tomasu.

"You've never seen someone bleed to death in thirty seconds from one little wound, have you?"

Tomasu's eyes widened a bit, and grabbed at the book. He looked at the pictures...and began to laugh.

"Hehe..heheheeeeahhahahaahahaAAHHAAHHHAHAAAAA!!!"

"I know how to do things you wouldn't dream of..." Akiyo said almost soullessly, staring off behind Tomasu.

"Oh my... What have I done..."

Tomasu looked up at her.

"Hmm...I think I will keep you around. Make you my toy. You'd like that? It means you do what I say, when I say it. You keep me happy with my games....and I'll keep you safe. No one touches my toys except me. But, if my toys bore me....I destroy them."

Akiyo looked at him, and it was a pathetic, helpless look. She didn't want to be this man's plaything, because she could plainly see that he was the incarnation of all the children's storys told to instill fear of "demons."

Akiyo never believed in things until she saw them, and she had just began beliving in demons.

"Yes... Yes, I would..." She says helplessly. Tomasu raised up his shotgun.

"Say it. I'm not sure what it is you want."

Smart bastard...

"Yes!" She said, desperately, falling to her knees, "Please let me follow you!"

Tomasu got up and hovered over her.

"Fine then. I'll let you live...until you no longer amuse me. You'll live for the game, as I do."

Kaori had found the shrine with ease. She expected a crumbling ruin, a pathetic hideaway with no maintenance left to the mercy of the weather. She was surprised, though not too happily, to find that this wasn't the case. Kaori assumed that the plans for the shrine were simply as a place to make combat interesting between battlers. Sighing, Kaori put down her bags and donned the boxing gloves, slamming one fist into the other palm once finished. She simply didn't have a choice. She would most definitely die, but not before she would see the monsters that condemned innocents to this fate punished, by her own hands preferably.
Kaori had noted two students who seemed to know more about this game than anything. They were obviously champions in this sick tournament, and if Kaori was going to find answers, she would need to locate one, or perhaps both of them and put them down first.

So far he hadn't encountered anyone. Niryu steadied his mind, preparing himself to kill. His mind blanked out, ready to react to anything as he neared the lake. He thought suddenly of finding a sharp rock to coat the poison with. There might be some rocks by the lake. He smiled. Even thinking subliminally, he had been right on the money.

Megumi and Hiroshi walked hand in hand by the cliffs.

"Hiroshi, my love, I'm sorry there isn't more time for us."

"Megumi-chan, I can face anything with you." He said, love was in his eyes.

She smiled her pretty smile that always made Hiroshi think of a beatiful sun rise for some reason.

"Then let us fly away from this horrible game, and this horrible island." They embraced, tears in both of their eyes. Then they took the next step...

Briefly they did fly. Their broken bodies on the jagged rocks a testament to their flight.

In the forest, Ren Matsuzawa was fidgetting with his gear. He was nervous and wrestled around with his supplies until he found his weapons...

Ninja Stars...

His face was shocked, but not as much as when a shot rang out and the bullet hole, a very large one at that, landed in front of him.

His fear struck eyes turned to see the would be killer holding the gun, a bit throw off by its strong recoil. As the shock welled over he made a mad dash to the nearest cover, but with a tear rolling down her cheek, Tayuumi shot again, the bullet leaving a large, bloody hole in the boy's chest.

I...I'm sorry...

She sound of gun fire can be heard across the island from the south. The lighthouse in I-10 was held by five girls from the cheerleading squad. One of them had been given a Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947.

"Piss Off Otakus!" Hirono shouted down from the tower. She fired wildly not expecting to hit any one her bullets ripped through Masanobu Ando' s chest splattering the gravel road with his blood.

"Bitches." he said as he coughed up blood then collapsed.

Hirono covered her mouth and tears welled from her eyes. She hadn't meant to kill anyone. Her friends Yuka and Aki dragged her inside. Before Shinryu's gang could react.

Two fighters left. Tomasu, and a member of a rival gang from his class. The two stared each other down, each with a gun in his hand. Tomasu held a B.A.R., while his opponent held a Thompson sub machine gun. Tomasu's blonde hair was frazzled and dirty, his body covered in cuts and bruises. The rival gang member didn't look much better, with his long black hair disheveled and a cut above his eye.

"Onizuka Tomasu! The DEMON OF BANZAI! You don't look so tough to me!"

Tomasu looked up with a strange grin on his face.

"You talk too much. One of us is going to die now. Either way, I get my pleasure."

The rival raised the thompson gun.

"Well...someone IS about to die."

He pulled the trigger, and Tomasu closed his eyes. He waited for the bullets to tear through his body. He waited for his own death, to recieve the ultimate of pleasure. Then...the sound of a jammed gun was heard. The thompson was jammed. The man holding it looked down with fear, then looked up at Tomasu. Tomasu's eyes...there was a reason he was called the Demon of Banzai. That look, his eyes being seen through the dyed blonde hair...he did look like an oni.

"Your toy is broken? So sad...mine works fine."

Tomasu raised his weapon, aimed, and fired. Bullets flew forward, tearing apart the boy's body. He was filled with holes, and fell over lifeless.

Oritotsuke and gang looked on in horror as Ando died. When they had finally gotten over the shock, Oritotsuke sent the others away from the tower as he took Ando's bag and weapon. Once he was out of range of the tower, they stopped to say a prayer for Ando, swearing revenge upon the cheerleader who did this. Then, they moved directly west, moving as carefully as possible.

Mitsuke frowned. There were suddenly a lot more people moving in on the clinic than he had originally anticipated. A single person had made it into the clinic first, but there was a group coming from the east towards the clinic, and another from the northeast. Though both groups were the same size at three each, he decided to head for the closer ones, the ones heading from the northeast. He moved towards them with a grin. This should be a decent challenge.

Kusanagi was going to settle into another cave to wait when a thought occured to him

This isn't hide and seek, there's only going to be one survivor, even if nobody finds me, if I'm not the last one alive, i lose anyway. Then again, if i kill everybody, do i win? Seems not, since i'm sacrificing my standards for mere human survival. Worse part is, even if we could take the weapons we're given and rally against the pricks who put us here, we wouldn't win. They'd just push a button and *boom* dead.

Then he had another thought. Those two unknowns who were with us...they seemed battle hardened...intent on killing. I remember one of them was checking out all the girls...sadistic freak.

His expression hardened. I'm not going to let those two killers have the pleasure of dishonorably killing all my classmates. If we are all going to die we might as well die with some semblance of honor and at each other's hands.

he pulled out a map and looked for anywhere that the killers might head to find a target rich environment.

Hm, there's a clinic down at the south end of the island, Makes sense that a lot of us would try to go there to hide out or take refuge. And that's probably where those murderous bastards are headed as well.

Tucking the sig sauer into the waistband of his pants and gripping the baseball bat, he slung his duffel over his shoulder and set out for the clinic at a steady, but wary pace, carefully watching to make sure he wasn't being ambushed.

My fate may be to die here on this island, but I am not going to go down without trying to do something right in this place where everything is wrong.
