Prologue: (Chapter 1):
Anch159 as the new 'Lead One' commanded the on-going never ending battles to be seized and removed along with the thumb system. A new time, a new tournament system will be born. The death system would not be changed however, a team wins if they kill at least a single person from the enemy team. Anch159 had shown everyone the single elimination bracket where teams would battle for the title of being #1. This change was further approved by the 'Royal One' and his daughter Banana Venom. However the strange darkness over the world gave some teams greater advantage over others, everyone still had no idea where and why this darkness had absorbed the world.
Week One, Segment One.
Banana Venom pointed at Master1 and said "You are the figure I saw in my nightmares, you are the person with the strength of a thousand men." Master1 was confused, she was clearly pointing at him, not Daniel1234. This was confusing but it was what it was, Banana Venom was a wise princess, she had never made mistakes before.
Daniel1234 instantly stood up from his knees and said "No, princess you are wrong, I..."
"No, you are not." Banana Venom interrupted him.
"Then move out of the way and I will end this weakling to prove that I am." Daniel1234 replied in anger.
"You'll have your chance to do that in the future, however this battle is not for you to win." Banana Venom replied. Her light was the only light that could match Daniel1234's darkness, it was pointless for him to try and attack.
Thwinkt was stoked at what he was seeing. He did not want to speak, not even this was a big enough event that needed words in his opinion. Either way, the battle was finished. After the battle Master1 and his group had gotten invitations to join team Veterans and team Archangels, and even though the group was interested in joining team Archangels, Master1 wanted to represent team Brotherhood. Not even 'King' expected them to live though the battle, everyone were now preparing for the tournament to come.
"We lived! Did you guys not see tsunami of flame and wind? I thought we'd be dead for sure." Matt yelled.
The four of them were now gathered in their secret hideout once again discussing their battle. It was a new day and the group was celebrating the fact that they could still celebrate.
"Was surely a close one, I did not expect him to have so much strength." GKAbyss said.
"We're celebrating but we did not win, how are we going to win the tournament with this attitude?" Master1 said.
"Master1 just chill, we're alive, that's what matters right now." Matt replied to Master1's negativity.
"The battle is not over yet, it had only just begun." Master1 replied.
"I mean to be fair, we should just relax. We should be thankful for Banana Venom's kindness, she had no reason to save us yet she still did." Honeybuckles44 said softly.
A knock was heard on the entrance door.
"Who is it? How did they find us?" Master1 asked carefully.
"I don't know, should we answer?" Matt asked.
Master1 and GKAbyss slowly walked towards the door.
"Who is it and what do you need?" Master1 yelled at the door.
"Please, you have to help me, I am dying!" The anonymous voice on the other side of the door replied.
"You have no business here, leave immediately." GKAbyss shouted.
"But she will kill me! Boh will kill me!" The voice replied.
Master1 opened the door to see 222hockey222 kneeling down, covered in blood.
"Get in." Master1 said.
"Why did you let him in? He might be a spy! How did he even find this place?" Honeybuckles44 yelled.
"Listen, Boh is insane! She killed DylanDaSkater and Blizzard101, I barely managed to get away." 222hockey222 replied.
"Why would she kill her own team members?" Master1 asked suspiciously.
"She joined team Element. She joined forces with Daniel1234. She had no use for us so she assassinated the other two, I managed to get away but I was seriously wounded." 222hockey222 explained.
Matt fetched some bandaged and other useful materials from the medical kit.
"Here, I will patch you up then you get some rest here." Honeybuckles44 said softly.
"How unfortunate." A familiar voice said from the shadow. it was 'King'.
"What do you want again?" Master1 asked furiously.
"Whoa man chill, I am just here to congratulate you for still being alive." 'King' said. "I also want to introduce my team to you." He added.
Three other figures came out from the shadow.
"I might as well tell you my real name if we're going to work together. My full name is KingOfTheOzone." 'King' said. "This is my team, ThuggishPrune, Jabatheblob1, and Pyromaniac." KingOfTheOzone added.
"Jaba **** you doin here? You're supposed to be guarding my pub." Matt exclaimed.
"No one goes there anyway, not like anything will be stolen." Jabatheblob1 said.
"Your team is lucky, you probably won't have to fight Daniel1234's group at all because we will beat them when we fight them." KingOfTheOzone said.
"According to the bracket you guys fight his group before we do unless the first group that fights him wins." Master1 said.
"But let's be honest, we're the only group in this whole tournament that actually has a chance at beating him." KingOfTheOzone said enthusiastically.
"Don't say his name, please!" 222hockey222 began shaking. "DON'T SAY HIS NAME!" 222hockey222 yelled, it felt like he was going insane.
A moment ago 222hockey222 was calm and now 8 people were struggling to keep him down in his bed. KingOfTheOzone knew what was happening, it wasn't because of Daniel1234, it was because of the darkness. The darkness was engulfing 222hockey222, he experienced the fear and pain. 222hockey222 could no longer participate at the tournament. It was scary to see him suffering the way he did.

Prologue (Chapter 2):
The following prologues will happen 10 years prior to this tournament.
A fox rushed through the forest. It was running away from something, it was running away from Boh. Boh shot a gun with a net at it, however the fox was slick enough to dodge it. The race continued until the fox had run into a dead end.
"I got you now!" Boh shouted as she shot the net at the fox.
Direct hit. The fox was captured.
"You did not do well enough." A voice from a tree was heard as a mysterious man jumped down.
"But I caught her Sensei1" Boh said disappointingly.
"When you shoot the net, you have to try and understand where the fox will be when the net reaches it, and not the place it is standing when you actually fire the trigger." Sensei1 replied.
The fox transformed into a human, it was fluff13 f0x.
"It's alright, you did your best. You just need a little practice." fluff13 f0x said.
"I don't need practice! I can do it! I'll show you!" Boh yelled.
"Boh you are still a little girl, you cannot expect yourself to succeed in everything every time you try it." Sensei1 said.
"Stop underestimating me! You always do that!" Boh yelled.
"I am just giving you advice, you should try to control your patience and manners." Sensei1 replied.
"I hate you! I hate how you keep telling me what to do and how I am bad at it!" Boh yelled as she began to walk away.
"That was rude of her." fluff13 f0x said.
"She went through a hard time, we just need to give her time. I will go talk to her now." Sensei1 replied.
-
"Boh I need to talk to you." Sensei1 said.
"What do you want from me now?" Boh shouted.
"Listen I just want to ask you, what is your goal?" Sensei1 asked.
"To join the tournament and fight there to get unlimited wealth and fame!" Boh replied confidently.
"Alright, and which team do you want to join? Team Brotherhood or Team Veterans?" Sensei1 asked.
"Neither." Boh said confidently.
"Is that so? So how will you join it?" Sensei1 asked curiously.
"I will create a new team, a better team. Our team will be the strongest ever and we will never lose!" Boh shouted gloriously.
"That is a big goal to have, are you ready to make your own team?" Sensei1 asked.
"I sure am!" Boh shouted.
"Let's have a battle with sticks then, if you win then I will never help you ever again and I will admit you are better than I will ever be." Sensei1 said confidently.
"You think you can take me on old man? Let's do this!" Boh shouted.
Two moments later Boh was on the ground, defeated with tears in her eyes.
"You are not ready. This is why I am training you. This is why I am trying to help you." Sensei1 said.
"No you are not helping! You are just trying to discourage me! I am sick of you and your little training methods! Go away!" Boh shouted.
"Boh, you'll know what you need when you need to know it. Right now is not the time." Sensei1 said as he began to walk away.
Week One, Segment Two.
What used to be a secret hideout where Master1 and his group could talk about strategies for upcoming battles and celebrate victories had now turned into a motel for random people Master1 did not even care about. Today is the opening ceremony, however some people are not able to make it for personal reasons, therefore at least two people from every team had to drive on a cart of horses through the arena for the people to see them. This was a huge event, people from all over the world were coming to see this new change in the system from the old thumb system.
Master1 was preparing for the ceremony when an unknown figure walked up to him.
"Are you Master1?" The figure asked.
"Yes I am, how may I help?" Master1 asked.
"You will need to miss out on the cart, we will observe the ceremony from the crowd." The figure said.
"Give me one good reason..." Master1 began but a different figure came out from the shadow.
"You are talking to BEE, I wouldn't reject her invitation." The newly entered figure said.
Master1 quickly realised that the two people in front of him were in fact BEE, and Xfrogman43
"You have my attention." Master1 quickly replied.
"I bet you have a lot of questions now that you know who I am." BEE said after they made it up to the crowd.
The ceremony had begun and teams had began coming through the arena in their carts. The crowd was shouting with excitement.
"I have plenty, can you defeat Daniel1234?" Master1 asked.
"No. You cannot. However, you can defeat other members of his group." BEE began. "Do you remember BuzzerBee?" She asked.
"Yeah, unfortunate that he is no longer with us." Master1 said softly.
"He was wise, even before the drug that enhanced his brain abilities. He predicted many things, only one of his predictions did not come true, he predicted that the first team to survive against Daniel1234 would be KingOfTheOzone's team. However, your team survived and it makes me scared that some of his other predictions might not come true either." BEE explained. "Then again, Banana Venom might have the power to change the future which is why his prediction failed." BEE finished.
"Would KingOfTheOzone's team forfeit in his prediction?" Master1 asked.
"No, before BuzzerBee passed away, he told me a way to defeat Daniel1234's team. His team has a weakness, Thwinkt has one weakness, his weakness is fire. Fire burns his cells making it impossible for him to recreate them which is the feature that makes him invulnerable." BEE explained. "There are only two people that control the ability of fire, you and Pyromaniac." BEE finished.
"I see what you are getting at, when KingOfTheOzone fights Daniel1234's team, they don't even need to fight Daniel1234, they just need to kill Thwinkt and their victory will be guaranteed. You only need to kill one person on a team to win the battle! That is genius!" Master1 shouted.
"Precisely, which is why Daniel1234 has no chance of victory against KingOfTheOzone's team, I just wanted to talk to you because BuzzerBee had failed a prediction of you dying, I am just, scared is all." BEE explained. "Let's hope it all works out, I am sure BuzzerBee even predicted his death, I am just disappointed he didn't share it with me." BEE said.
A cart began coming out of the arena's main gate, it was Daniel1234's team. Thwinkt and another figure were the only ones in the cart. Master1 recognised the figure, it was Doh. But what was he doing in Daniel1234's team? It made no sense.
"I have one more question, how many times was Daniel1234 actually drugged?" Master1 asked.
"None, he was not drugged a single time." BEE said patiently.
"But then how does he..." Master1 began but was interrupted.
"He is not a human being like he once used to be. He was consumed by darkness, this is what makes him truly powerful." BEE said as if reading Master1's mind.
"What if KingOfTheOzone fails to kill Thwinkt?" Master1 asked.
"This is why I am talking with you, BuzzerBee's prediction has failed once before, it might happen again." BEE said.
"I am the only one other than Pyromaniac that controls fire, is this the reason?" Master1 asked.
"I saw that Banana Venom said you are the chosen one, in the worst case, in the most unlikely case if everything fails, it will be up to you to stop him." BEE finished.
"If KingOfTheOzone fails, I don't think we can succeed either, they are twice as strong as us, they are the second best team in the whole tournament." Master1 said.
"Which is why it is more likely you will fight his team at the tournament instead of Daniel1234. The worst is unlikely, you should just be careful of it." BEE finished.

Prologue (Chapter 3):
"Again, I want you to chase fluff13 f0x, but this time try to shoot every net wisely." Sensei1 said.
"Yeah, I sure will." Boh said. 'That's not the only thing I am going to do.' She also thought in her head.
fluff13 f0x transformed into a fox and began running into the forest, Boh began chasing after her.
Boh shot a net, miss. 'Just wait till I get you, this is the last time I get told off by Sensei1 because of you!' Boh thought.
fluff13 f0x made a turn but then the net was fired. fluff13 f0x was caught in the net.
fluff13 f0x transformed back into a human and began congratulating Boh. "Well done, you are getting better at... ohh!"
fluff13 f0x stopped talking, Boh had stabbed her with a knife near the heart area. fluff13 f0x looked into Boh's eyes before falling over onto the ground. Dead.
Boh returned to Sensei1 with tears in her eyes. Boh had scars and cuts over her hands, legs and body.
"We were attacked by a pack of wolves, I tried to save fluff13 f0x but it was too late." Boh cried to Sensei1.
"Boh..." Sensei1 began. "I didn't think you were so spoiled." He said.
"Excuse me?" Boh exclaimed.
"Murder is not alright, I am very disappointed in you, you even tried to hide it by cutting your self to make it look like you were attacked." Sensei1 said.
"But Sensei1!" Boh yelled.
"No. In the morning you are to leave my house. I do not want to see you or your spoiled attitude ever again." Sensei1 said.
Week Two, Segment One.
A new week had arrived, this week the battles were going to begin. The first battle on the schedule was KingOfTheOzone's team going up against team Archangels Group C.
"Listen KingOfTheOzone, I know your the favored team to win this, however your opponents are not that easy, they control light and they are tough to beat because of this." BEE said.
"You worry too much, this is not the time of light now that the world is covered in darkness. I am confident that we will move up to challenge Daniel1234 and his group." KingOfTheOzone replied.
"Good luck, you are our only hope to defeat Daniel1234, don't lose before you even challenge him. Most importantly, don't get overconfident." BEE said.
Both main gates opened. There was another thing removed, no more mini challenges, the hype began with teams battling it out from the start. The crowd was mental. People came from all over the world to see this event. Four figures flew out of the opposite gate bringing in bright light into the arena. The light was blinding, due to the world being covered in darkness and only light being from lamps and such, this light coming from this team blinded people as their eyes had to adjust to it. KingOfTheOzone and his team was also blinded.
The opposing team took advantage of this, a beam of light headed straight for KingOfTheOzone and his team, however they managed to dodge it just in time. As the eyes adjusted to the light, the four figures with angel wings became visible, it was Helvi, RayOfLight, Starblinky, and MidEvilAngel.
"Ok guys, they are the under dogs, let's show them what we're capable of!" KingOfTheOzone shouted.
Jabatheblob1 let out acidic like liquid throughout the arena. This had no effect as all four members of the enemy team were up in the air.
A quick blink of light was seen, a solid projectile made out of pure light was shot into KingOfTheOzone's team. ThuggishPrune created a shield out of unknown material. The light projectile was not stopped however, it sent KingOfTheOzone, ThuggishPrune and Pyromaniac into the air. Jabatheblob1 was not killed either, he stayed on the ground as if the light projectile did nothing to him.
Another light projectile headed straight for Pyromaniac, this time it was a person. MidEvilAngel collided with Pyromaniac and a burst of flames shot up into the sky. MidEvilAngel was holding a long sword made out of pure light, Pyromaniac had only fists to fend off. MidEvilAngel sent Pyromaniac falling back onto the ground at an incredible speed, Pyromaniac created a hole in the ground once he collided with it.
"We need to make the fall into the ground somehow! Acid is our only hope!" KingOfTheOzone shouted.
"No use!" A voice from the enemy team came out.
RayOfLight ascended higher into the sky, spread his hand out in a cross shape then thrust his hands together creating a beam of pure light with smaller beams around it which headed straight for KingOfTheOzone and ThuggishPrune. The two of them had no mobility in the air therefore they for thrust onto the ground just like Pyromaniac was.
Helvi came closer to KingOfTheOzone's team. He created small beams of light around KingOfTheOzone and his team creating a jail out of light.
"Hold strong!" KingOfTheOzone.
It was no use. Starblinky flew on top of them. "You are so dead!" He shouted.
"Who the F are you?" KingOfTheOzone shouted back at him.
Enraged by this comment, Starblinky created a sphere of light around KingOfTheOzone's team slowly destroying them.
As the dust, and bright flashes of light cleared, it became visible that Jabatheblob1, ThuggishPrune and Pyromaniac were unconscious on the ground. KingOfTheOzone was on his knees, with tears in his eyes, sobbing.
"This cannot be! We were supposed to be victorious to challenge Daniel1234!" KingOfTheOzone shouted.
"We are the only team that has the light to match his darkness, you are mistaken. You don't deserve to challenge him." Helvi replied.
"Most importantly, don't get overconfident." BEE's voice echoed in KingOfTheOzone's head.
KingOfTheOzone began laughing, it was the type of laugh that happens when a person loses his mind.
"Why the hell is he laughing?" RayOfLight shouted.
"I don't care, he's going insane. MidEvilAngel finish him!" Helvi shouted.
MidEvilAngel flew straight at KingOfTheOzone with his long sword wanting to finish it. A burst of flame shot MidEvilAngel, his long sword flew out of his hand.
"What is this?" Helvi shouted.
KingOfTheOzone while still laughing replied "You didn't really think it would be this easy did you now?"
Pyromaniac, Jabatheblob1, and ThuggishPrune stood up. There were never unconscious, they were faking it. Did they purposely get the enemy team close to the ground? Was this their plan to defeat or test the enemy team and their abilities? No. They were simply playing around with them, nothing more, nothing less. The battle had not yet begun.
"ThuggishPrune, get ready to prune these little birds." KingOfTheOzone said confidently.
"You think you can win, give us your best shot!" Helvi shouted.
"Oh you wish you'll wouldn't have said that!" KingOfTheOzone shouted back confidently.
KingOfTheOzone lifted his hands removing air around each of the member of the enemy team. Helvi and his team instantly began choking trying to grasp some air. Starblinky began ascending into the sky at rapid speed trying to get away from this effect.
"No use!" KingOfTheOzone said in an evil voice.
KingOfTheOzone lifed his other hand removing the ability to fly from the enemy team, Helvi and his team fell onto the acidic ground. Starblinky became unconscious when he hit the ground due to the fall being too high for him to handle. Jabatheblob1 made the acidic liquid engulf the enemy team.
"Four kills at once? I feel like Daniel1234 right now." KingOfTheOzone said.
KingOfTheOzone and Jabatheblob1 removed their effects from the enemy team almost instantly. Helvi, MidEvilAngel, and RayOfLight began making huge loud breaths now that they had air once again.
"Why are you keeping us alive?" Helvi whispered.
"That would be no fun, I want to torture you before I kill you. I want to play with my food." KingOfTheOzone said. "Now fight, fight for your life." KingOfTheOzone finished.
Helvi stood up and picked up MidEvilAngel's long sword. ThuggishPrune walked up to him and hit him in his face making him drop the long sword.
"This is all you're capable of!?" ThuggishPrune said.
RayOfLight reacted fast, creating a bright flash of light which blinded ThuggishPrune. Helvi quickly picked up the long sword and swung at ThuggishPrune. No use, ThuggishPrune protected himself making a shield around him out of the unknown material.
"No!" Helvi cried out.
ThuggishPrune grabbed Helvi's right hand and snapped it in half.
"Ahh!" Helvi yelled.
"I said stop using that long sword!" ThuggishPrune yelled.
RayOfLight stood up, it was all up to him to finish it. He spread his arms out in a cross shape once again...
"I had enough!" KingOfTheOzone shouted as he threw RayOfLight at the end wall of the arena with an air blast.
"Finish them." KingOfTheOzone said.
KingOfTheOzone, Jabatheblob1, and ThuggishPrune walked behind Pyromaniac. ThuggishPrune created a shield around the three of them out of unknown material leaving Pyromaniac on the outside. Starblinky was still unconscious, Helvi was crying with pain, RayOfLight was on the other side of the arena, too hurt to move and MidEvilAngel had no time to react. Pyromaniac filled the whole arena in flames, these flames were so strong that the crowd was forced to be evacuated shortly due to dangerous situation. As the fire and smoke cleared, it became visible that Helvi, RayOfLight, MidEvilAngel and Starblinky were all incinerated. Only ashes remained.
KingOfTheOzone, ThuggishPrune, Jabatheblob1, and Pyromaniac moved up the bracket for a chance to fight Daniel1234 or the team that defeats him.
"That was very cruel and unnecessary and you know that." BEE said to KingOfTheOzone behind the stage.
"We won is all that matters. How we won is none of your concern." KingOfTheOzone replied.
"You shouldn't let the darkness take control of you. What you did there was very dangerous, you almost lost the match." BEE said in an angry tone.
"Don't worry babe, if you want to talk, we'll talk in the semi finals. That is, if you even make it that far." KingOfTheOzone said in an evil tone.
"Know your place! You know who you are talking with!" Xfrogman43 shouted.
"No. You know your place, you have no strength to threaten me." KingOfTheOzone replied.
As KingOfTheOzone walked away, BEE stood there in disappointment.
"What should we do?" Xfrogman43 asked.
"It's not him. I knew him many years, he wouldn't talk like this. He is getting overwhelmed by darkness which ruins his thinking. All we can do now is hope that he will be able to overcome the darkness." BEE said.
"We can't trust him." Xfrogman43 said.
"We have no choice." BEE replied in an instance.

Prologue (Chapter 4):
Boh had one night left at Sensei1's house before she had to leave. However she was not ignorant enough to leave without saying goodbye, and what better way was there of saying goodbye other than killing Sensei1?
'He'll pay, he'll pay for everything he'd done.' Boh thought in her head as she readied a knife.
It was middle of the night meaning Sensei1 was most likely asleep making it almost too east for Boh to make her plan happen. As she walked into Sensei1's room, she saw he was sleeping under the blankets, she lifted up her knife and slammed it down onto the figure lying under the blankets.
Something wasn't right, as she lifted the blankets, she saw that Sensei1 was not there. She had simply stabbed a bunch of pillows instead, the blankets covered the pillows in a way that made it seem like there was someone sleeping there.
"I had a feeling you'd come visit me over this night." Sensei1 said from behind.
Boh quickly turned around and ran at Sensei1 with her knife out. However Sensei1 was able to disarm her in a matter of seconds. Boh fell onto the floor with the knife falling in front of her eyes, however Sensei1 stepped onto the knife making Boh unable to pick it back up.
"Take my hand and stand up, I want you to leave this house now, I will not give you time to wait until the morning." Sensei1 said as he reached his hand towards Boh.
Boh enraged by her defeat fell down to lowest measure, she grabbed Sensei1's leg and bit it as hard as she could. Sensei1 jumped up in pain, Boh grabbed the knife, stood up and stabbed Sensei1 around the heart area. Sensei1 made a few noises out of pain before falling over. Dead. Boh began tearing up, she had always knew that sooner or later she'd have to learn to kill because she was heading to the arena, however she had not expected to begin killing so soon. Boh gathered a backpack with all the resources she needed to survive the first few days and nights and began heading out.
Week Two, Segment Two.
KingOfTheOzone woke up the next day in an unknown bed to him. His head was aching, he could not remember half the things that happened yesterday. The last thing he remembered was him being on his knees crying in front of Helvi and his team. Speaking of Helvi, KingOfTheOzone had no idea why he was still alive. After looking around the room, he recognised that he was in Master1's hideout, yet he couldn't remember how or when he got there.
Master1 was sitting on a seat next to his bed, once Master1 saw that KingOfTheOzone woke up, he began yelling at him.
"How dare you!?!" Master1 shouted.
"Huh? What do you mean?" KingOfTheOzone questioned.
"Don't play dumb! Not only did you insult BEE, but you also threatened her! Do you have any idea what kind of consequences that is going to have!?!" Master1 continued yelling.
'Threatened BEE? I am not suicidal enough to do that, however I do not remember what happened yesterday, could I have possibly done those things?' KingOfTheOzone thought to himself.
"Stand up! You have to leave this place immediately!" Master1 finished.
"Listen... I don't know what you are talking about, I do not remember what happened yesterday." KingOfTheOzone cried out.
Before they could continue arguing, a knock on the door was heard. Master1 walked to the door to see who it was.
"Who is at the door?" Master1 asked.
"Open up. BEE had come to visit the four traitors." Xfrogman43 shouted.
Master1 opened the door, BEE and Xfrogman43 walked into the secret hideout, Master1 closed the door after them just as silently as he opened it.
"I know this is not the time, but how exactly does everyone keep finding this place? Do we have like a sign on top of the door saying that this is the entrance to our place?" Master1 joked trying to soften the mood.
Jabatheblob1, ThuggishPrune, and Pyromaniac were already in the living room, they had all heard the news and were waiting for their fate to be decided by BEE.
As soon as BEE, Master1 and Xfrogman43 came into the living room, the team of four instantly fell onto their knees in front of BEE.
"We beg for forgiveness, my lady. None of us remember the events that occurred yesterday, we feel the grief of our actions and we hope it will not happen again." KingOfTheOzone said in despair.
"I forgive you." BEE simply said.
Master1 and Xfrogman43 jumped up in confusion of such easy forgiveness. KingOfTheOzone, Jabatheblob1, ThuggishPrune, and Pyromaniac were not expecting to get away so easily either. The whole room was silent for the next 15 seconds.
Honeybuckles44 was in the back room, watching over 222hockey222 sleeping. GKAbyss, and Matt were not in the secret hideout either.
"It's not your fault, you were overwhelmed by darkness." BEE began explaining.
"By darkness?" ThuggishPrune asked.
"It's the same reason 222hockey222 was screaming his lungs out, telling us not to mention Daniel1234 even though he mentioned him moments ago. After he mentioned him, he lost full control of himself and therefore lost his mind the moment we mentioned him again." BEE began explaining. "It can happen to any one of us." She finished.
"KingOfTheOzone seemed in full control though, he was not going insane like 222hockey222 was. He was even throwing around words such as 'babe'" Xfrogman43 insisted.
"Although darkness can overtake your mind if you are depressed, hopeless, or hurt, the actions that follow do not necessarily have to be made in the same state of mind." BEE continued explaining. "In fact, I am more than sure it is only done to discourage other people at the tournament. I suspect Boh is behind this." BEE finished.
Everyone instantly gasped, another 15 seconds of silence and thinking had passed.
"So it is not our fault?" KingOfTheOzone asked.
"Not at all, you should be thankful this darkness kept you alive, you shouldn't be here right now. The battle should have been over with Helvi and his team victorious." BEE replied.
"How do we prevent this from happening in the future?" Master1 asked.
"Daniel1234, Boh and their team have to be stopped, this is the only way." BEE answered. "Still, if BuzzerBee was still here, I am sure he would have found an alternative way. I miss him, he would have been very useful, it feels... empty without his support." BEE said in upsetting mood.
"We will avenge him, Daniel1234 and Boh will pay for this situation they had created and the darkened world they have brought." KingOfTheOzone said confidently.

Prologue (Chapter 5):
Hours after the incident with Sensei1, the sun began coming up. Boh was faced with the struggle to find necessities such as food, water, and shelter. Luck was always on Boh's side, she managed to find an abandoned hunting hut in the middle of a forest. It was not the season for hunting meaning she was free to set up home in that hut. Her training from Sensei1 and fluff13 f0x was very useful, she was able to pickpocket people without being detected. The times she did get caught she either managed to get away or hit the person in a pressure point making them either crawling on the ground trying to recover air or sit on their knees in pain. She tried to avoid murder as much as possible and she was very successful in every case. This way she was making money for food, water and all the other necessities.
One day, she had stolen a pouch of gold coins just as always and was on her way back to the hunting hut to count how much she had earned. Then it was as if destiny struck. A little boy aged 8 or 9 ran up to Boh and snatched the pouch right under her nose. This boy was fast, he run into the back alleyway and began parkouring from ladder to ladder to attempt to get away from Boh. What the boy didn't know was that Boh was trained to catch running victims.
'Got to catch the fox.' Boh thought as she began parkouring after the boy.
The chase lasted a while until the boy was cornered and had no where to go. Although he was cornered, he did not give up and ran at Boh with fists. However with one push, Boh made the boy fall on the ground after which she placed her foot on his chest making him unable to stand up.
Boh had a Déjà Vu remembering Sensei1 being in her position. She was expecting the boy to bite her leg at any moment after which she would end his life. However, he did not do that. Boh looked into the eyes of the boy, she saw a horrific sight, the boy's eyes told her that he was going to slice her throat if he had the chance. His eyes were filled with evil and darkness, she saw no mercy in his eyes. What was more surprising is that he wasn't fighting back, he had a warrior heart and was not going to fall down to weak measures such as biting her leg. If he was going to die, he was ready to die with dignity. Boh saw her own childhood in his eyes, not only did she spare his life but she also allowed him to live in the hunting hut with her.
Together they were unstoppable, Boh later found out that his name was Daniel1234, he was 9 years old, 6 years younger than Boh. Boh did not take care of him, they took care of each other. Although Boh tried to avoid violence if possible, Daniel1234 was ready to kill the person that was threatening them. Amount of victims killed grew by a lot when they were stealing money. Boh decided to teach him how to avoid violence, she became an older sister to him.
Week Three, Segment One.
"GKAbyss, I need you to look after 222hockey222 while I'll be gone." Honeybuckles44 said.
"Where are you heading?" GKAbyss asked curiously.
"There are things I need to do." Honeybuckles44 said.
"Should I tell..." GKAbyss began.
"No, if anyone asks tell them that I went to the market." Honeybuckles44
"Ok, if you need any help just tell me. I will always cover your back. Just take care and don't get into too much trouble." GKAbyss replied.
Honeybuckles44 was heading to one place. She needed to see it. She wanted to see her brother again.
Both main gates opened. The crowd was hyped and loud as four members of team Veterans came out. The four faces were instantly recognised to be Benje00, 0176, EEDD, and Addi. Benje00 looked at the crowd and almost instantaneously spotted Honeybuckles44 in the crowd.
'Watch carefully sis.' Benje00 thought.
The enemy gate opened as four figures of Team Brotherhood Group C came out. Benje00 and his group kept to their tactic as EEDD lifted his arms, platforms of ground began rising into the air.
"My turn to..." 0176 began but before he could finish something fast ran next to him and pushed him against the wall. The enemy team were fast, all four of them.
"I have this under control!" Addi shouted.
Then as if time was moving in slow motion, Addi could have sworn he saw one of the enemy team members wink at him as they were running past. Addi recognised this person to be Spyr0. However, Addi tried not to be distracted by this and began creating strong winds picking up the ground platforms and rotating them around in a spiral attempting to hit the fast moving enemy team. Something was not right. After some time Addi realised he no longer had the control over this spiral, but it couldn't have been moving on it's own. Realisation hurt, Addi helped the enemy team create a weapon that could be used against them.
"0176 shake it off, we need you now!" Benje00 shouted.
Addi was stunned, he felt like he let the whole team down and the consequence would be his life. It was Spyr0, Addi he that it was him that took control of his wind spiral. 0176 couldn't do much, he created numbers around his team to make shields strong enough to prevent death. However, this team lacked real defense and it seemed to be all over. Benje00 fired an arrow. The arrow was so fast and precise that it hit Spyr0 straight in the arm even though he was moving at an incredible speed. It was almost impossible to predict where Spyr0 yet Benje00 managed to do it. The strong winds creating the spiral which could have been considered a small tornado had stopped. The ground platforms began falling on everyone.
Honeybuckles44 gasped at the sight of Benje00 having a bow. There was no question, Benje00 was her brother. Spyr0 cried in pain as yet another arrow struck him in his leg, he could no longer run. His team stopped for a second allowing their faces to be seen, the rest of his team consisted of Rdash, Skyler, and NaztyRushz. Rdash ran up to Spyr0, picked him up and began trying to dodge the falling ground platforms.
"I cannot let you do that." Benje00 whispered silently.
Another arrow shot Rdash in the leg. Both he and Spyr0 fell on the ground. NaztyRushz enraged by this ran towards Benje00, it took a second and Benje00 got sent flying out of the number shield and into a wall. NaztyRushz then ran up to Spyr0 and picked him up, Skyler did the same to help Rdash.
To save Benje00, EEDD had stopped all the remaining ground platforms in the air. Unfortunately this meant that the enemy team would not be harmed either. Everything was back to square one as if nothing happened. The only difference was that Rdash and Spyr0 could not run. Addi realised his opportunity now that Spyr0 could no longer take control of his winds, Addi began creating yet another spiral of wind to use the ground platforms as a weapon. Skyler did not allow this. Speed was not the only thing their team had to offer. Skyler jumped up into the air and as if flying swiftly through the air, she got to Addi pushing him over and using his body as a snow board to make him crash into the wall.
Such a collision was supposed to kill Addi, but it didn't. It only made him unconscious. As the smoke cleared, it became visible that 0176 created numbers all around the arena's walls. The numbers protected Addi from dying. However it was not 4 v 3. Or 2 v 3 if you consider the fact that Rdash and Spyr0 could not run. 0176 decided to take advantage of that by creating numbers under each person of enemy team, each number of 0176's name under each person. The enemy team could no longer move and it was their key strength to winning.
"Time to finish this." 0176 said.
The whole arena, the walls, the ground, the sky, the ground platforms which EEDD took hold of once again filled up with numbers. The whole arena filled up with purple energy, it was over.
No it wasn't. 0176 used too much power. As the arena began filling up with purple energy, almost instantaneously the purple energy faded, 0176 fell on his knees. He could do it, he did it before. Why was he not able to do the attack now? Did he choke? Or did it have to do with the darkness that filled up the world. 0176 received his power from the sun. Now that there was no sun, he was unable to fulfill powerful attacks that required so much energy. Benje00 stood up. Addi was unconscious, 0176 had no strength, EEDD was holding up the ground platforms. Benje00 was the last person that could have saved the team.
"EEDD, if it will seem like we are going to lose, I want you to drop the platforms." Benje00 said.
"But that will kill all of us!" EEDD shouted.
"We have no choice." Benje00 said.
Benje00 took a last glimpse at where Honeybuckles44 was standing. This time, their eyes had met.
'This is for you sis.' Benje00 thought.
Benje00 shot a stack of arrows at the enemy team. There was no way they could all dodge it. They had wasted too much energy and were not fit for such attacks as they were in the beginning.
It was all a distraction. Benje00 could have finished it by shooting them in the head instead of legs and arms. However, they were prepared. At the speed they were all running, the faces would have gotten destroyed finishing the match before it even began. They were all wearing helmets to protect their faces therefore making it impossible to kill them with an arrow to the head. The next best option was the heart. However it was difficult to hit the heart when they were all running. Now when NaztyRushz, and Skyler were collecting the stack of arrows that were flying at them to protect Spyr0 and Rdash, Benje00 readied two final arrows.
Benje00 fired the two arrows. These two arrows were moving faster than the other stack. The flew past Skyler and NaztyRushz and struck Spyr0 and Rdash right in their hearts. NaztyRushz eyes lit up in flames as he grabbed one of the arrows, ran up to Benje00 and stabbed him in the shoulder. This is why Benje00 told EEDD to drop the platforms. Skyler was going to do the same, only this time the arrow would have gone into Benje00's head. EEDD understood this, the ground platforms began falling towards the ground.
Yet another Déjà Vu? The same thing that happened during the battle of Cow's team against Nou's. The first deaths consisted of Spyr0 and Rdash therefore Benje00's team won the battle. However, what is the point of winning the battle if your team dies as well?
"No!" Honeybuckles44 shouted from the crowd.
The rest of the crowd was cheering for what had happened. A platform began rising. EEDD lifted the platform over him to reveal only four people not being crushed. EEDD had managed to protect himself, 0176 who was near him at the time, Benje00 who was right in front of him at the time, and NaztyRushz who was right next to Benje00 pushing the arrow deeper into his shoulder. EEDD and 0176 ran up to NaztyRushz and pulled him away, Benje00 fell on his knees in pain.
'I told you I could do it sis.' Benje00 thought.
Honeybuckles44 sighed with relief. The battle was over. Unfortunately Skyler, and Addi were crushed by the platforms as they weren't near EEDD. Benje00's team moved up the ladder but they now needed a new member to fill for Addi. It was a tough battle, and it was tough saying goodbye to Addi. However, this was the life chosen and it is the struggle they had to go through. Benje00's team were now looking at the future and new battles to come.

Prologue (Chapter 6):
Boh had watched Daniel1234 kill as if he was meant to do so. Every time a person looked at him wrong they'd find a knife in their eye followed by a quick slice to the throat. The police also known as the 'defendants' did not care as long as the person killed was not a highly recognised individual, an official or a royalty. Boh had only killed two people till this point and even though she had no mercy when she killed them, she didn't feel the blood lust Daniel1234 felt.
"How many people have you killed?" Boh once asked.
"Too many to count." Daniel1234 replied with no emotion whatsoever.
This was horrifying to hear knowing Daniel1234 was only 8 or 9 years old.
"Why didn't you kill me back then?" Boh asked.
Hearing and seeing what Daniel1234 was capable of, it struck Boh that chasing him back when he stole her money was dangerous and unreasonable. At any moment Daniel1234 could have turned around and finished her off like all his other victims.
"You're different." Daniel1234 replied in a puzzle.
"How so?" Boh asked.
"You felt the sense of murder. You knew how it was to kill. You were prepared for an unexpected attack, because you have experienced it before. I want to die, but I don't want to die from a weak hand. I was ready to die from your hand, because your hand is not weak." Daniel1234 replied.
Week Three, Segment Two.
Benje00's team was rushed to the hospital. From the three remaining members, 0176 suffered the most. Not only could he no longer use his powers, but he also couldn't regenerate them. Considering the fact that he was staying alive because of his powers, since there was no sun, he was in dying state. The medics said they could stabilise him and in the worst case put him into a coma until the sun would show up, however the sun was not showing up meaning that 0176 could no longer participate at the arena.
This left the team with Benje00 and EEDD. Benje00 had a deep wound in his shoulder. However he had at least 3 weeks to recover, at most 9 weeks meaning that it was likely he would recover before the next match. If not, then his shots wouldn't be as precise or as powerful but he was still able to continue to battle at the arena. EEDD suffered the least, the worst that could happen to him at this point is darkness consuming him making him have a mental breakdown. However the minimum of 3 weeks was more than enough for him to get back on his feet. As for Addi, he did not make it alive from the crush.
The team was now looking for two members to fill for Addi and 0176. They had close to no time to practice with the new members lowering their chances of actually winning... lowering their chances of actually surviving the next battle. Honeybuckles44 went to visit Benje00 that same day, it didn't take long for her to find him. She was allowed to see him for a couple of minutes as she could not prove that she was his brother. Family members were allowed longer, however a few minutes was enough for her to get her point across.
"I want to join your team." She said.
"Do I know you?" Benje00 replied.
"I know this might sound crazy, but I am your sister." Honeybuckles44 said.
"I don't have family, they all died." Benje00 replied.
Benje00 knew she was his sister, however he did not want her to participate in the tournament.
"No. I remember your eyes, your hair. You are my brother." Honeybuckles44 attempted to reach out to Benje00.
"Even so, I don't want you in my team." Benje00 said firmly.
"Why? You need to find new members, I can help you!" Honeybuckles44 insisted.
Benje00 did not know whether to tell the truth or to hold back. He did not want his sister to get involved because of him.
"Listen to my advice, leave the tournament and then once this is all over, we can be together again." Benje00 said.
"So you do recognise me." Honeybuckles44 said. "If you are worried about me, you shouldn't be. I can take care of myself." She finished.
"This is not your fight. You can't win against Daniel1234. Only I can." Benje00 finished.
"We found a way to defeat him, you don't have to worry about him." Honeybuckles44 wanted to win this argument.
"No." Benje00 began again. "No one can win against him. Even when I will win against him, there will still be sacrifices made." He said.
"Then leave the tournament with me." Honeybuckles44 insisted.
"No. He was the one that killed our parents." Benje00 finally spit out the truth.
Honeybuckles44 stepped back in shock. She had not known this.
"Then let's fight together!" Honeybuckles44 shouted.
A nurse came into the room.
"Your time is over." The nurse said.
"No. I cannot afford to lose you. Leave this fight to me." Benje00 said.
"No!" Honeybuckles44 shouted yet again, tears began running down her cheeks.
"Your time is over." The nurse said again.
"It's time for you to go, sis." Benje00 finished.
Honeybuckles44 turned around and left the room in silence. She had one goal now, to end Daniel1234 in the tournament, even if it cost her life.

Meanwhile at the market, KingOfTheOzone was strolling around looking at what was available. Suddenly a person out of nowhere walked up to him a pushed him. KingOfTheOzone was startled by this approach.
"So you are the pathetic weakling that thinks he's the only one that can take on Daniel1234!" The unknown stranger began.
"And who are you supposed to be?" KingOfTheOzone asked patiently.
"The name is SmittyW." The unknown stranger shouted.
"Let me guess, Team Veterans, Group D?" KingOfTheOzone asked.
"Exactly!" SmittyW shouted.
"So you're the first in the tournament that is going to die to his hand." KingOfTheOzone initiated.
"I am twice as strong as you! What makes you think I am going to lose the fight?!?" SmittyW shouted.
"Look at yourself, do you really think a thug like you could bring the sun back to this world?" KingOfTheOzone continued intimidating a fight.
"You are all talk! Meet me at the field near the bell tower for a fight, your team against mine and we will prove that our team is more likely going to take down his team! The rules are the same we fight until the first death." SmittyW shouted.
"I'd save your strength, considering that you will need it." KingOfTheOzone said simply and began walking away.
"Hey come back here! I have to tell you the time and day that we will fight! You hear me!?!" SmittyW shouted.
However, KingOfTheOzone was no longer interested. SmittyW pulled out a knife out of his cloak and charged at KingOfTheOzone. KingOfTheOzone simply clicked his fingers and SmittyW was on the ground trying to regain air.
"You should be more careful who you threaten. You do not threaten the person that controls oxygen." KingOfTheOzone said.
Another click of the fingers and SmittyW began making deep breaths.
"If you really think you can beat his team, then I will see you in the quarter finals. Then you can show me who is stronger. However, you have nothing to prove to me as of this moment. I wish you luck, you'll need it." KingOfTheOzone finished before walking away.
'I'll show you!' SmittyW thought before KingOfTheOzone completely escaped vision.

Prologue (Chapter 7):
Boh had wondered why Daniel1234 wanted to die and why he was so brutal. Her guess was that Daniel1234 had an awful experience, was he abused or were his parents murdered? Either way, he had experienced something no child should ever experience which made him the person he was today. Months had passed since Boh met Daniel1234 yet there were still a lot of mysteries and questions, answers to which were only hidden in his eyes. Although Daniel1234 almost knew everything about Boh, there were things Boh still wanted to find out about Daniel1234.
Daniel1234 wanted and needed help. However, Boh despised help, she didn't need it. After stealing gold as usual, on the way back to their hunting hut, they stumbled upon some old man.
"Watch where you're going!" Boh shouted.
"Sorry lads. Hey could you kind people lend me some money?" The old man asked.
"As if! Go find someone else dumb enough to give you money." Boh said as she began walking away.
However, Daniel1234 did not follow her. He was still standing in front of the old man. Boh stopped and waited to find out why he wasn't following her. Was Daniel1234 going to kill the old man?
"Here you go sir." Daniel1234 said as he gave the old man some gold.
"Thank you young sir, you are very kind." The old man said.
At that moment Boh realised Daniel1234 had a heart. On the inside, he was not as ignorant and deadly as he seemed on the outside. There was a reason he murdered people, however he was a kind person when he did not need to kill.
"I see you have a warm heart but a dark soul..." The old man continued. "I can train you to help you release the hatred you have towards people." The old man finished.
"What is your name?" Daniel1234 asked.
"Just call me what I appeared to you... Some Man." The old man said.
Week Four, Segment One.
In situations such as the world falling under eternal darkness, there are always these mad people that read out bibles and talk about the end of the world. However, this time people had complete proof to believe them. Although the tournament was keeping a lot of people busy, a lot of people were beginning to be consumed by darkness. You could always find a person crying and screaming in the middle of the street at this point. The scariest part about it is that people were beginning to get used to it. Amount of crime had increased, so did the amount of innocent deaths. Linus21 was enjoying it, he was having the time of his life.
The main gates opened. Team Archangels Group A versus Team Veterans Group D. Four members came out from Team Veteran gate. SmittyW leading with a furious look. He was ready to win, he was ready to show the world that he was strong. Following him close came out TheCoolGuy, Stagecrew, and Showpath. All four were determined to win. A figure came out from Team Element gate. Everyone even the crowed was shocked to see Thwinkt come out by himself. There was no one with him. Team Element was strongly underestimating their opponent.
"They are going to pay for this!" SmittyW shouted in rage.
This was the battle to save the world. There were only a few people that knew how high the stake was of this battle. BEE, Xfrogman43, Master1's team, KingOfTheOzone's team all came to see how this battle would turn out. Honeybuckles44 was the only one that stayed back with 222hockey222.
SmittyW shot a glance at KingOfTheOzone 'You'll see what I am capable of.' SmittyW thought.
There was another bright figure that came to watch. Master1 barely made out the figure, it was Banana Venom. This battle was strongly hyped, there was a reason for this.
"Wish we were lucky enough to have only Thwinkt come out." KingOfTheOzone said.
"Stop wasting your time on words, watch how the battle turns out. We need to learn as much as possible from this." BEE said.
The crowd had all settled, ready to see what was going to happen.
Showpath began first, he lifted his arms... nothing was happening. Showpath began making strange movements, yet nothing was still happening. Thwinkt was still walking towards them. The crowd began gossiping, no one knew what was going on. It seemed Showpath didn't know either.
"Showpath what's going on?" SmittyW shouted.
"I don't know... I can't..." Showpath was saying rapidly.
No one could make out anything but everyone realised Showpath was panicking.
"I'll take care of this." TheCoolGuy said.
TheCoolGuy was carrying a bag full of rocks. TheCoolGuy picked up a rock and threw it at Thwinkt. The throw made a sound of a gun shot. The rock was travelling at the speed and strength of a bullet. It hit Thwinkt and bounced away. It had no effect. TheCoolGuy continued throwing rocks at same strength at Thwinkt. The dust filled up the air. TheCoolGuy stopped. Did it work? Was Thwinkt dead? Thwinkt slowly walked out from the dust as if nothing happened. He was half way through the field now.
"Wait! I'll think of something!" TheCoolGuy shouted.
"This is going to be gruesome." KingOfTheOzone said to BEE in the crowd.
"How is this even possible!?!" SmittyW shouted.
Thwinkt had no one with him. No Tak4n, no Theditor, and no DClevels. No one could lose the battle for him any more. No one could die before he could kill. This made him the ultimate fighter. He was unstoppable on his own. Thwinkt began running at SmittyW's team.
"Stagecrew!" SmittyW shouted.
"We have the win!" Stagecrew shouted.
Stagecrew began dancing. He was starting out with a couple spins, twists, jumps and turns. The crowd began gossiping once again. However as Thwinkt got really close, the mood of Stagecrew's dance changed to break dance style followed by a kick so strong and so fast that it was bound to send Thwinkt flying back. It didn't. As soon as the kick collided with Thwinkt's chest a loud crack was heard. It was so loud that the crowd heard it as well. Stagecrew's leg was broken in half. Some bones shattered completely with a lot of blood and pieces of bones lying on the ground around. Both sides of the broken bone were sticking out from the skin. It was a disgusting view.
Master1 looked at where Banana Venom was standing, she was no longer there. Thwinkt stood over the helpless Stagecrew who was now screaming at the top of his lungs from the pain. The screams were terrifying, some people from the crowd were beginning to cry. Everyone wanted Thwinkt to end Stagecrew's misery.
"No!" SmittyW shouted.
SmittyW took out his knife and began running at Thwinkt. Thwinkt took out his spear from his back and jabbed it into SmittyW's stomach. The spear was not aimed to kill him, but to make him suffer.
BEE stood up and began leaving.
"Where are you going my lady?" KingOfTheOzone asked.
"This battle is over." BEE replied as she continued walking.
Thwinkt pulled out the spear from SmittyW's stomach, turned around and lunged it at BEE. Xfrogman43 reacted fast by quickly catching the spear. BEE stopped, and glanced at Thwinkt. Thwinkt was not aiming to kill her, he knew Xfrogman43 would catch the spear. Thwinkt merely wanted to threaten BEE and to show full disrespect towards her.
TheCoolGuy and Showpath stood there helplessly. With a couple of swings of his blades, Thwinkt took out TheCoolGuy's and Showpath's arms. Both of them fell on their knees now also screaming in pain. Thwinkt had no mercy and no intention of killing them. Thwinkt was simply having fun making them suffer. Thwinkt turned around and faced SmittyW who was slowly bleeding out.
'You're not screaming, I don't like that.' Thwinkt thought.
The crowd and people from other teams began leaving. Only KingOfTheOzone remained, looking at the horror. Thoughts of him having to experience the same pain began overwhelming KingOfTheOzone, he began tearing up.
"You monster!" SmittyW whispered.
Thwinkt placed Stagecrew, Showpath, and TheCoolGuy all in a line in front of SmittyW and sliced their throats. Thwinkt forced SmittyW to watch his friends die. SmittyW gave up, he began screaming in horror.
'Good boy, you're next.' Thwinkt thought.
"Stop!" Anch159 shouted. "Anymore kills from this point will force your team to be disqualified from the tournament!" Anch159 finished.
'Guess you get to live another day buddy.' Thwinkt thought. Thwinkt was not going to waste words on such a small bug such as SmittyW.
This was one of the shortest battles in history of the arena. The shortest so far of the tournament. It was also the most cruel and unbearable to watch. Although the spear went right through SmittyW, he managed to survive with the help of the medics. However, this was not the case for his team mates.
Darkness began taking over SmittyW. "That fiend! I can't take this! Let me die!" were SmittyW's last words that day before he fell into sleep.

Prologue (Chapter 8):
Training for Daniel1234 began from day one. Some Man was training a lot of fighters who wanted to participate at the arena, one of those fighters was named Kentiya. As soon as Daniel1234 walked into the dojo, he was pushed over by Kentiya.
"Haha, look at this new guy. He is so weak!" Kentiya laughed.
Kentiya was then joined by a group of his friends, all laughing at the fallen over Daniel1234. It didn't take long for Daniel1234 to decide what to do, go for the throat. There wasn't really a way Kentiya would have survived his fury. However, just as Daniel1234 swung to deal the deadly attack, his attack was stopped by Some Man.
"Control your fury." Some Man said to Daniel1234. "What happened here Kentiya?" Some Man then asked.
"This kid wanted to fight us, we had nothing to do but to defend ourselves." Kentiya lied.
Daniel1234 was infuriated. He was ready to pounce onto Kentiya, rip his eyes out and force him to eat them. However, Some Man was holding him back. Some Man did not see what happened, however the way he arrived seemed as if he was watching from a distance. It felt like Some Man purposely told Kentiya to attack to see how Daniel1234 would react.
"He's lying." Boh interrupted. "Kentiya started the fight." Boh finished.
"The fight was started a long time ago, by no one other than you Boh." Some Man said.
These words made Boh really angry. Yet another old man that was going to control what she did. She was scared, scared that this man was going to change Daniel1234. Boh did not want him to change, she loved the deadliness in him.
Week Four, Segment Two.
"Listen up here's the drill. Honeybuckles44, GKAbyss, and Matt stay behind in the base. The rest of you will come with me." BEE commanded.
"What's the hurry? Where are we going?" Master1 said, confused with the situation.
"We are going to the medical centre. SmittyW is in huge danger, we must try and protect him." BEE explained.
"Why is he in danger and why do we care?" Matt asked.
"I'll explain to the rest when we get there. You however don't need to worry about it." BEE finished.
It was a dark day... or night? Everyone was beginning to lose the time of day, soon it was becoming hard to tell what day of week it was. All the clocks broke for no apparent reason, if the street lights were to go out, it would have been no different from a black hole. Darkness consumed the world, it was a difficult time.
"Why are we here again?" Master1 whispered.
The group was in SmittyW's room looking upon him. They were not allowed to sneak in there so the nurse could have spotted them and kicked them out.
"Thwinkt is going to try and assassinate him." BEE whispered back.
"So what is it for us?" KingOfTheOzone whispered.
"If we catch him, his team will be banned from the arena." BEE explained silently.
"What makes you think he will try and kill him?" Pyromaniac asked.
"No one gets away from Daniel1234 or his team alive..." BEE began.
"The how come we're still alive?" Master1 interrupted.
"Your battle was interrupted, therefore your battle never begun in the first place." BEE began explaining. "However, SmittyW's battle is still continuing. It isn't over yet." BEE finished.
"I hope you're right, I don't want to baby sit him all night for no reason." Jabatheblob1 said.
"Since we have nothing better to do, may I ask you a question BEE?" Master1 began.
"Sure, go ahead." BEE said.
"Who is going to be your fourth member? Who is going to fill BuzzerBee's spot?" Master1 asked.
"Yeah, you don't see Ant123 a lot because he is too big to get into your hideout. However, our fourth member is a bit of a wild card." BEE began explaining.

"Oh come on man! You won 12 times in a row!" A strange man shouted. "How do you get so lucky? It's a two sided coin, you have a 50/50 chance!" The strange man finished.
The man then grabbed the coin for a closer look. One side had heads, the other head tails. It was a legit coin.
"Well I have my ways." Spiderman said.
"Have you ever lost?" The strange man asked.
"My current streak is 486 wins, 0 losses. I have never lost a single bet." Spiderman said.
"That coin is clearly fake!" The strange man said as he got his own out. "Try this one!" The strange man said.
Spiderman flipped the coin. Heads.
"See, never lost a bet, never will." Spiderman said confidently.
"Nah! It's cause you flip it! If I do it, you're bound to lose!" The strange man said.
Heads.
"Nah! If it lands on heads I win ok?" Strange man said.
"Whatever suits your deal." Spiderman laughed.
Tails. The strange man then continued making assumptions to why Spiderman was winning, however the coin kept landing in favour of Spiderman.
"Well, coin games are stupid luck anyway! Want to try a card game?" The strange man said with an evil smile.
"Don't care, go ahead, I am telling you I won't lose." Spiderman said.
The strange man already lost all his gold to Spiderman, now he was losing his dignity. However, the way this person shuffled the deck of cards made Spiderman suspicious.
"The game we are playing is called Blackjack, closest person to 21 wins." The strange man said.
Spiderman looked at his hand.
"Hit." Spiderman said.
The strange man gave Spiderman another card before talking "So the bet is all the gold that you took from me plus 100 gold on top?"
Spiderman looked at his hand. 22.
"How about, all the gold I won from you, plus all I own and the rights to sell me." Spiderman said confidently.
"And if you win?" The strange man asked.
"In that case, nothing. I already won everything from you so I will just take your dignity." Spiderman said.
"Deal, so what are you going to do?" the strange man asked.
Spiderman began flipping a coin in his right hand. Every time it landed in his hand, it showed heads.
"I stand." Spiderman said.
"Let's open up! I have 21." The strange man said with an evil smile.
Spiderman did not open up as fast. The strange man saw fear and confusion in Spiderman. However, Spiderman was simply thinking. He was thinking about the shuffle the strange man did.
"21." Spiderman said strongly as he opened his hand.
The hand showed King, 6, 5.
"How is this possible? You cheated!" The strange man shouted.
"How so? Did you see me cheat?" Spiderman asked.
"Either way it is still a draw!" The strange man shouted.
"Is it? I spotted your shuffle, you are also using a fake deck. Since you cheated I won." Spiderman said firmly.
"You can't prove that!" The strange man shouted.
"I can't? The next card is an ace." Spiderman said.
As Spiderman pulled the top card it showed an ace. It was clear that the strange man cheated, Spiderman was the winner. The strange man had no idea that Spiderman quickly distracted him with a coin to quickly swap the 7 with a 6. Either way, Spiderman was the winner. 487 wins, 0 losses.
"Help! He stole my gold pouch!" A random woman shouted as Spiderman was walking through the street.
Spiderman flipped a coin. Heads. The man that stole the gold pouch fell on the ground. He died from suffocation.
"Help my daughter is going to die!" A worried mother shouted in front of a burning building.
Spiderman flipped a coin. Heads. A man came out from the burning building with her daughter in his hands. The girl was alright.
"Another murder, wonder who it could have been." A 'defendant' said in front of a dead body.
Spiderman flipped a coin. Heads. The 'defendant' was run over by a horse that same instance. He was a corrupt 'deffendant' who killed an innocent person. Spiderman was unstoppable, he never lost a single bet, never will.
"You want to join our team?" BEE asked him when they bumped into each other one day on the street.
Spiderman flipped another coin. Heads.
"I know who you are." Spiderman began.
"Then you know why I am asking for your help." BEE stated.
Spiderman looked at the coin, then back into BEE's eyes. Her bright coloured eyes showing bright red, blue and yellow colours influenced him.
"I will help you." Spiderman said calmly.
-
-
"So he never lost a single bet?" Master1 asked.
"That's the story." BEE said.
-
"Excuse me, we are closed for the night." The nurse said to the strange figure that entered the building.
With one movement of a hand, the nurse was on the ground with her throat cut. Dead.
-
"Shh. Someone is coming." ThuggishPrune said.
It was Thwinkt. He was here to finish what was started at the arena.
As Thwinkt entered the room, Jabatheblob1 created a jail cell of acid around him. Pyromaniac and Master1 quickly followed up with flamethrowers of fire. It took a couple of seconds for the mist of smoke to clear, everyone quickly realised, Thwinkt wasn't there. BEE quickly glanced at SmittyW, he was lying with his throat cut. Dead.
"How!?" KingOfTheOzone exclaimed.
BEE looked at the window to see a dark figure sitting there, Thwinkt. He gave BEE an evil look. That look told her 'Your turn will come.'
Thwinkt then made a quick escape out the window.
"We have no proof now!" KingOfTheOzone shouted.
"We need to get out, before we are suspected as well." BEE said quickly.
The team then quickly escaped through the same window Thwinkt had a second earlier.
"How did he manage to escape the cage?" Master1 shouted.
"He had help. It was their fourth member. It was Doh's doings." BEE proclaimed.
"Their team is going to be harder to defeat than I originally thought." KingOfTheOzone said.
The team then made it back to Master1's hideout where they were then questioned by the rest of the team.

Prologue (Chapter 9):
It was a difficult time for Daniel, Some Man taught him how to meditate and other methods to release anger without having to engage opponents in a fight. However, this gave too many easy chances for Kentiya to bully him when Some Man wasn't looking. There was a lot of progress seen in Daniel, Boh on the other hand made no progress. In fact, Boh got away easy from any conversations, she thought that this whole school was pointless as it didn't help the students learn to fight in the arena, but rather teach them the good side of not fighting at the arena and value their life.
"Hey Boh, you enjoying your time here?" Kentiya asked one day in the most cheesy way possible.
"What is it to you?" Boh grunted.
"Why do you hang out with someone as stupid as Daniel? Why not become friends with me?" Kentiya continued.
"I'd rather die at the arena than be friends with someone as pathetic as you." Boh said ignorantly.
"Ooh, playing hard to get. I like that in a girl." Kentiya said with an evil smile.
Kentiya was around 14 or 15, only 1 or 2 years older than Boh. However, he was of no interest to her.
"I suggest you leave... in a hurry." Boh threatened.
"Oh, you don't have to be like that." Kentiya said as he placed his hand gently on Boh's cheek.
He had gone too far, that was the final straw. With two quick movements, Boh knocked Kentiya onto the ground and placed her foot on his throat.
"You know, my previous Sensei taught me a lot about killing." Boh began as she stepped onto Kentiya's fingers crushing them and making him scream at the top of his lungs.
A crowd of people began gathering around them, pointing and laughing at Kentiya.
Some of the younger children began shouting in sync "Losing to a girl! Losing to a girl!..."
Kentiya angry at everyone tried to stand up but then Boh pushed down onto his throat making it difficult for him to breathe.
"We have an audience, must be embarrassing for you." Boh began. "I know a human's body like the back of my hand, I can end this now and you won't even feel anything." She finished.
"What is going on here? Boh get off him this instance!" Some Man shouted from the crowd of people.
The laughing and shouting instantly stopped.
"Guess you are lucky this time." Boh said as she moved away from Kentiya.
Two of Kentiya's friends that were laughing a second ago ran up to him and helped him stand up.
"Boh this is intolerable behavior! You've only been here for a couple of days and yet you're already wreaking havoc!" Some Man began. "If this behavior continues, I'll have you kicked out from my school!" He finished before walking away as if nothing happened.
"You'll pay for what you've done here today!" Kentiya remarked before walking away as well.
Week Five, Segment One.
Beginning of a new week is both exciting for the crowd yet nerve racking for the contestants. Each battle you get the feeling that either you or your best friend that was talking to you a second ago could die. Death is such a simple word, yet you can never get used to it. The next death would always decide whether you will fall, or whether you will rise. It's simple yet it's so discomforting. Thoughts like this in this darkened world are the thoughts that take control of your body, fill every inch of your mind. And then, it happens. You die.
The crowd was strictly banned from viewing today's battle due to the last experience, instead they had to watch it from the tele screens. Today two strong rival teams were going to face each other yet again. Who knew what would happen at the arena today. The only thing that was known is that it wouldn't be safe. What was even more dangerous was the fact that Cow and his team lived their life in darkness, this world that had fallen under eternal darkness empowered them, it gave them the advantage they had always wished for. However, the lights had to stay on at all time in the arena because if they were to go out now, not even night vision goggles would be able to detect movement.
Nou, Drock, Shift, and Explozion entered the arena. iPwner and Creature were spotted instantly in the light. However, Cow was too sneaky to be seen... However, where was their fourth member? Their fourth member was not seen anywhere either. This worried Nou. Drock attacked first just like last time, however this time he switched it up, instead of making rocks fall on top of the enemy, he made spikes rise from under the ground, thus hindering the movement of the opponents. Trying to move through these sharp spikes would be dangerous, especially at the speed at which Cow leaps.
Explozion was to attack second, yet no one made anymore moves. Nou's eyes lit up in yellow and orange flames. They were waiting.
"Now!" Nou shouted.
Cow flashed in front of the team for a second. Explozion made an explosion right next to Cow making him paralyzed in the air, his leap was broken and he was unable to dodge anything at this point.
"Too easy. He fell for it too easily." Nou said.
This was their plan, they knew Cow would be able to move around the spikes Drock had created. This is why they separated him from his team allowing them to get an easy kill without even wasting much energy.
Shift used his mental ability to change position of some of the spikes so that Cow would be falling straight onto one. It was too easy, over already. If only it was ever so easy. The ground beneath the four members began shaking. The sands began making them sink in. Once their legs sunk in slightly and they couldn't move, something began happening to Explozion. The ground below them blew up making them fly into different directions. An unknown figure then pounced towards Cow, catching him and landing onto safety.
Drock landed onto a spike first. However since his stone body was made from the same material, he fell right through it shattering the top of it into pieces. He was not even hurt. His team mates did not seem as lucky though. Nou was falling onto a spike second. However, before he hit a single one, his eyes lit up in orange and red flames. The spikes disappeared as if they were never there. Nou only got hurt by the fall. Explozion was to hit the spikes next. Shift saw this and quickly changed the position of the spikes so that he and Explozion could land safely. The rapidly changing spikes almost killed iPwner and Creature. Luckily their mobility saved their skins.
"Explozion! What was that!?" Nou shouted.
Nou looked at Explozion's legs, they were all in blood and were either bitten or clawed. The wounds were so deep that his bones were showing in some places. Shift looked at Cow and the unknown beast.
"It can't be... it's MegaLamb." Shift whispered to himself.
MegaLamb had no pattern and did not move like any other beast. Every leap, every attack was new. He was strongly known was his innovative and new ideas of hunting prey. Forcing Explozion explode the ground and burying himself under the sand was only the beginning to his creative ideas of killing.
"Drock protect Explozion!" Nou shouted.
Drock ran up to Explozion and created a bubble shield out of stone leaving Shift and Nou on the outside.
"You wanted a battle to redeem yourself, well you got yourself a war!" Nou shouted into the darkness.
Nou's eyes lit up in red and black flames. He was being taken over by the darkness.
"Ahh!" Shift shouted.
Nou looked at him, he saw huge marks from claws across his back.
Nou began screaming in anger at the top of his lungs. He moved his hands and then it was as if time froze. He was looking straight into Cow's eyes.
"It's over." Nou thought.
The time unfroze and all the lights in the arena went out. Everyone was in complete darkness, even the crowd lost sight of the battle. Anch looked at the life meter, everyone in the arena were still alive. However, in the midst of the darkness, Cow and Nou were visible as they would be at day. Cow release a massive Moo which sounded a lot like a roar then he pounced onto Nou. The two of them began falling into eternal blackness. Cow began slicing Nou with his claw, Nou did not seem to fight back.
"Sorry my friend, you lost." Nou said calmly.
The lights in the arena lit up again. Nou had deep scratches and wounds across his whole body, yet he was smiling, the smiley was creepy which was enforced even more by the massive scratch on across his face.
The stone bubble shield was in pieces. MegaLamb forced Drock attack Explozion after which Explozion blew the whole thing to pieces, both of them were dead. However, Shift buried iPwner and Creature in the sand, they were also dead. It was a stale mate. Who had won?
Anch thought about it for a minute. "Let the battle continue!" he said into the speaker.
You could see the insane smile on Nou's face change into saddened, depressed one. Tears began running down his cheeks. He had not won.
Cow walked up to him slowly. "Moo." He said.
Nou understood that it meant 'No my friend, you're the one that has lost the battle.'
Cow made it as painless as possible. A simple twist of Nou's head and it was over. It was a calm death, Nou did not feel any pain. Although they were enemies, their bond created respect to each other. This is one of the most honorable and respectful way to go out in the arena. Cow knew that deep inside, Nou was happy to go out the way he did.
Although Cow and MegaLamb won the battle they needed two new members to fill for iPwner and Creature. Finding new members in the time like this would prove quite difficult. Shift was also alive, they considered him as an option. However, he needed a break after everything that had happened, they decided to forego this option. Cow's team was now one step closer to winning the tournament, they were now preparing for the future battles to come.

Prologue (Chapter 10):
Daniel had changed. It seemed that Some Man actually helped him release his hatred and blood lust. Daniel was a new person. This made him an easy target. Boh was on her way to getting food from the canteen when she heard noises coming from around the corner. She walked towards the noises through a narrow long hallway, as she turned the corner into another seemingly dark hallway she saw how much Daniel had changed. Kentiya and two of his friends were pushing Daniel around, punching him, and kicking him. They were humiliating him. Daniel had become the victim, was this Some Man's intent?
"Fight back." Boh said firmly and loudly.
"It's her! Run!" Kentiya shouted as he and the two of his friends ran the other way.
Boh walked up to Daniel. Two sides were fighting inside of Boh, one side was telling her to leave Daniel as he was no longer of any interest to her. He did not have his fighting spirit anymore. The other side wanted to help Daniel, maybe it was still possible to bring his spirit back?
"Why did you not fight back?" Boh asked him.
Although Daniel was a kid, 9 years old he was not crying, not whimpering, not even puffing from pain.
"I learnt a way to get through my problems without killing." Daniel replied as he stood up slowly.
"You're going to have to kill sooner or later." Boh continued trying to get through to Daniel.
"No. I have suffered enough blood on my hands, that life is in the past. I am now looking at the future." Daniel responded.
"You don't understand do you? In this cruel world It's kill or be killed. The next time they start bullying you, might be the last time." Boh said.
"Well then I will be happy to die. I told you already, I want to die." Daniel continued.
"No. The Daniel that I knew wanted to die from a strong hand. Kentiya's hand is weak. If you want to die to a weak hand then be my guest." Boh finished.
Boh turned around and began walking away. These words made Daniel think, he was reconsidering his actions.
Week Five, Segment Two.
Atilla jumped up in bed. Another nightmare. He stood up from his bed to get a glass of water. Of course, Meredith was able to read his mind and meet him in the kitchen.
"Another nightmare?" She asked.
"Can't stop thinking about that laugh, I can't get it out of my head." Atilla said patiently.
"Should we get you some help? You've been having the same nightmare almost every day since that fight." Meredith said, worried about Atilla.
Atilla looked at a painting of him, Meredith, and Processor that an artist drew for them at the market.
"I guess I should." Atilla said calmly.
"I meant professional help." Meredith contradicted.
"No. Our battle is... next week. There is no time for professional help." Atilla confirmed.
"She won't help us. We tried to kill her pets." Meredith said more worried than last time.
"She'll help. I know she will." Atilla wanted to finish the conversation.
"What are we going to say? Atilla you might know more about the present than anyone else, but you can't see into the future." Meredith tried to re convince him.
"When was the last time I couldn't do something?" Atilla confronted.
"..." Meredith could not recall.
"Exactly. She will help us, 'they' will help us." Atilla finished.
-
-
"My lady, what are we doing here? It's too hot, we should go to base." Master cried.
"We are here to buy necessities, stop whining. How can it be hot when the world is under eternal darkness?" BEE replied.
BEE, Master, and King were strolling around the market in search for cheap food and water.
"Matt can make us free Slushies, we should just leave. I hate shopping." Master tried to re convince BEE.
A coin was flipped in the distance. Heads. BEE instantly stopped. Although the coin was flipped a long distance away, and the market was crowded with people who were chatting loudly, BEE could still recognise that sound made from the coin.
"I guess it's time for you two to meet our fourth member." BEE said with a smile.
Spiderman came out from a stall holding all kinds of various foods and beverages. He was overloaded with stuff making some of it fall onto the ground.
"So that's why we came here." King said with a smile.
Spiderman did not seem to notice the three of them yet. It was highly probable that he won the food by playing random gambling games with the stall keepers.
"Spiderman, you need help with that?" BEE called out to him.
"Huh? BEE is that you? Don't scare me like that." Spiderman grunted.
Spiderman was the first to talk to BEE in a friendly way rather than polite. Even King who knew her for years used 'my lady' instead of her actual name. Either Spiderman had no manners, didn't know who he talked to, or considered BEE equal to him. Or perhaps he won a bet against her...
Master and King rushed to him to help him carry some of the food and beverage.
"Now we can go back to base." BEE said.
-
"Who is this guy?" Prune asked when the four of them got back.
"He is our fourth member." BEE confirmed.
"What does he do?" Matt asked curiously.
"I can do anything with a toss of a coin." Spiderman bragged.
"Can't you remove the eternal darkness then?" Prune contradicted.
"Yes." Spiderman replied simply.
"Then why don't you do it!?!" The whole group shouted.
"In order to do so, I have to win a bet against the person that created the darkness." Spiderman began explaining. "Doing so is not easy. There are too many obstacles standing between my coin and that person." Spiderman finished.
"Ok, I am thinking of a number between 0 and 1 million. I want you to guess what it is." Jaba attempted to break his luck.
Spiderman tossed a coin. Heads.
"It's 951 603." Spiderman said confidently.
In reality, Jaba already forgot the number he was thinking. He only remembered that it started with a '9'.
"Ha! You're wrong, I was thinking of a different number." Jaba attempted to to get out without humiliation.
Too bad it was very visible by Jaba's facial expressions that he was lying.
"Ok, you guys catch up on stuff, I am going to take a walk outside." BEE finally. said.
"Sure thing my lady." Jaba said. "So you..." The group continued talking to each other.
-
BEE stepped out of the hideout. The wind began blowing her hair. There was a presence of someone else.
"1nsanity." A voice began speaking. "The darkest laugh I had ever heard." It was Atilla speaking.
"You want my help?" BEE asked although she knew the answer.
"I just need guidance." Atilla stated.
"Why me?" BEE asked.
"You had gone through similar experience before." Atilla said.
"So you know why everyone respects me. You know what I have done." BEE said.
"Don't underestimate me, you know exactly what I can do." Atilla said.
"Not even my closest allies know the full story." BEE continued.
"They know the gist of it." Atilla also continued.
"It's Linus that you want, not 1nsanity." BEE said.
"Will we even win is the question?" Atilla wanted specific answers.
So far the both of them were speaking in puzzles. Not much was known, it was as if they were scared that a third person might hear them.
"I will help you, I will clear your mind so you can sleep at night. However the victory or defeat will result purely out of your own decisions." BEE said.
"Thank you. But it can't be that easy can it?" Atilla asked.
"There is a favour that you need to do for me. I will tell you the details later. We have only but a few days before your battle. Better start now." BEE said.
"We'll need some place private." Atilla said.
"We'll go to my original mansion. You will get to meet Ant as well." BEE finished.
"Very well then." Atilla also finished.

Prologue (Chapter 11):
Daniel was bullied again and again. It was strange why Kentiya only targeted him. Sometimes Daniel managed to get away from beatings by running or parkouring away, although he wasn't always lucky. Boh saw new bruises on Daniel almost every couple of days and witnessed some of the beatings in which she always tried to help him. However she had not known how many times Daniel was targeted when she was not around. It was a trap. Kentiya was learning Boh's actions and decisions. Kentiya wasn't dumb after all.
One of these times Boh spotted Kentiya pushing around Daniel with his other two friends. Usually Kentiya ran away when he saw Boh, it was not so this time.
"Get her!" Kentiya shouted.
Kentiya planned that she'd be there at this time making it easy for his friends to get her. Three more guys jumped up from the back and began running at Boh, making 5 guys attacking at once. Boh was a strong fighter, she side kicked the knee of one of the attackers, breaking it as well as snapping it backwards. He would not walk soon if ever at all. She twisted the hand of another attacker making him scream from pain, it seemed that she ripped his muscle. However the other three attackers managed to tackle her down onto the ground.
Two of the attackers were holding her arms while the third was holding her legs. She tried to escape the grasps but she was unable to do so. Kentiya walked up to her and back hand slapped her across the face.
"Why do you keep struggling? You should just stop trying, I told you I'd get pay back for the last time." Kentiya said.
Kentiya then leaned towards her ear and began whispering something. Daniel watched Boh's face instantly fill with fear. She looked terrified. Kentiya couldn't have been threatening her, nor creating any pain because Boh suffered too much in her life to be afraid of pain. What Kentiya was whispering was much worse and torturous.
Daniel's and Boh's eyes met. Daniel was confronted with a difficult decision, to betray Boh or to betray Some Man. It was not the decision Daniel wanted to make, but he had no choice.
"Ahh!" Kentiya made a noise.
It appeared that he tried to shout but it only came out as a crack in the voice. A drop of blood fell onto Boh's face from Kentiya's mouth. Daniel stepped back from Kentiya, he had used a sword that hung on the wall of the dojo to strike Kentiya straight in the heart. Daniel's face looked horrified as if he had killed for the first time, however the fact that he struck the heart directly without a miss showed that he had done it many times before in his life. Kentiya's friends jumped away from Boh instantaneously, Boh pushed the body off of her and stood up immediately, wiping away the blood from her face. Daniel and Boh stood there over the body, they understood that they were the leaders of this dojo now. The gotten the respect but also the fear everyone was experiencing towards Kentiya.
Week Six, Segment One.
It all came down to this. Atilla had to face his biggest fear, his greatest enemy; himself. BEE thoroughly explained that it's not about 1nsanity's laugh nor is it about Linus or his team. It was about the fear and the darkness that absorbed his thinking, making his decisions vague and unreasonable. Atilla had to win against himself before he could win the battle against Linus. The arena was empty, almost no one came to the arena. Only those lonely tourists came that did not see the first battle and did not know about 1nsanity's laugh.
The arena filled up with poisonous gases as soon as Linus, 1nsanity, Fdoou, and Toxic came out from the gate. Atilla and Meredith came out from the second gate, they were followed by two other figures, they were Express50, and Abrar11. 1nsanity looked into Atilla's eyes with the biggest, creepiest smile. Atilla instantly looked down at the ground.
'Can I really do this? Can I confront my biggest fear?' Atilla thought.
1nsanity gave off a small laugh, he was getting ready to drive everyone into the darkness of his laugh.
"Atilla!" Meredith shouted.
Atilla looked up from the ground.
"Now!" He shouted.
Express50's eyes filled up in cyan and blue bright colours as if they filled up with water, he lifted his hand and 1nsanity's mouth instantly shut. 1nsanity tried to open his mouth but had no success. Linus had a smile, he was not at all worried by this.
"Is it time?" Fdoou asked.
"Not yet, let them have some hope first." Linus replied.
Atilla knew something was not right, though he discontinued Linus' smile as just overconfidence. Atilla was filled with hope and his brain was able to think now that 1nsanity was shut.
"Meredith, Abrar, can you two disable Fdoou and Toxic so I can kill Linus?" Atilla asked.
"I don't see any interference, we should be able to do so." Meredith replied confidently.
"Here we go." Linus said to his team.
Meredith and Abrar sent out brain waves to take control of Fdoou and Toxic.
"Something is not right, this seems too easy. It's never this easy." Meredith said.
"They know our tricks, whereas they are still a blank page to us." Atilla said.
Abrar started making noises as if beginning to suffer.
"Abrar what is the problem?" Atilla asked.
Abrar did not answer, seconds later Meredith began making suffering noises as well.
"Talk to me!" Atilla shouted.
"Now." Linus said simply.
Fdoou lifted his arms. Two ghost like figures rose from the ground.
"I'll name them Jobhoekstra, and Orheargold." Fdoou said.
"Naming your puppets? Creepy. I like it." Linus replied.
The two puppets began running at Atilla's group.
"Meredith! Abrar!" Atilla shouted again.
It was as if they were paralysed, they did not move.
Atilla sent out two bolts of electricity at the two puppets, making them disappear into thin air, just like ghosts.
"Now." Linus said.
Toxic sent out a bolt of erosive liquid at Atilla. The same liquid that completely eroded Processor leaving nothing of him.
"Ahh!" Atilla shouted as he closed his eyes.
He was sure he was dead. However, Express50 took his focus away from 1nsanity to save Atilla. This meant 1nsanity had the ability to laugh again. At this point there was no one sitting in the crowd as the lonely tourists could not take the awful battle. Only one person remained in the crowd. It was BEE.
'You can do this.' BEE thought.
1nsanity began laughing, changing the mood completely. Express50 lost control, he could no longer shut 1nsanity as his powers were canceled. Atilla fell on his knees.
'Was it all over? Did he fail again?' He thought.
'Don't give up hope, the battle is not over until it's over' Atilla heard BEE's voice in his head.
'That's right, the battle is not over, I need to find a way to shut 1nsanity.' Atilla thought.
Fdoou summoned two more puppets.
"W1tch and Jettix" Fdoou said.
Atilla had no power to stop Fdoou's puppets. 1nsanity's laugh had become so ear destroying that Atilla, Abrar, Meredith, and Express50 began having their ears bleeding.
"Meredith!" Atilla cried. "You helped me in my hardest time, don't let me down now!" Atilla shouted loud now. "Please Meredith! I need your help!" Atilla's voice was strong.
Meredith was trapped in a bubble in her head. Atilla's cry for help broke the bubble releasing Meredith. A bright flash was seen, the arena filled up with an explosion that harmed everyone. As the flash cleared, it became obvious that 1nsanity shut up, Fdoou's puppets were erased, and Abrar with Meredith had broken from their confused state.
The explosion was different, it was more like a release of power, it only left scratches and burns on everyone. No one was seriously harmed. However, 1nsanity was no longer laughing and Atilla's team was in full control once again.
"What happened?" Linus yelled furiously.
"Even if they broke out, there shouldn't have been such an explosion. I smell foul help from 3rd party." Toxic said.
"What are you waiting for? Kill them!" Linus shouted.
Toxic stomped the ground with such strength that it made a crack, in reality he did this to send out a massive tsunami of erosive liquid at the enemy. The tsunami moved at high speed and strength.
"Express50!" Atilla shouted.
Express50 created an invisible barrier. The tsunami was stopped as soon as it hit the wall. 1nsanity slowly began rebuilding his menacing laugh.
"No you don't!" Atilla said as he sent a bolt of electricity at 1nsanity.
1nsanity got struck.
"I got this!" Fdoou shouted in preparation to send two more puppets.
However, Meredith created a box of energy around them. Their powers were now limited.
"Which one should die? Should it be Linus? I know you hate him the most." Meredith asked.
"Keep him alive, I want to toy with him in the future. Keep Toxic and Fdoou alive as well, I feel they have a chance of going against the darkness in the future. However, 1nsanity is useless from now on." Atilla stated.
"No this will not happen!" Linus shouted. "You will not use our own words against us!" He continued shouting. Soon everyone realised why he was collecting fear from everyone. He had finally shown his true power. Linus grew into a 5 story high dark beast, breaking the little energy box in his growth.
"You cannot destroy me in my final form!" Linus shouted in the deepest voice.
"What the hell is this!?!" Atilla shouted.
"It's time." Meredith said softly.
"Yes it is." Atilla said confidently.
Atilla, Meredith, Abrar, and Express50 grabbed hands creating a circle, all four closed their eyes and began whispering a lock down spell.
Linus lifted his over sized foot and stomped the four of them.
"It's finished! I am victorious!" Linus shouted.
He was right it was finished. The lock down spell had worked. Linus did not know what was happening, the fear of people that kept his massive body alive began flying away. People's fears were leaving him, people were no longer afraid. But how was this possible?
"No! Fear me! I will destroy all of you!" Linus yelled.
It was too late. Linus transformed back into human form with ripped clothes and defeat. This was the first time in his life where he was no longer confident. He was scared. Atilla's team were crushed under his foot. However, his form seemed to kill his allied as well. No. Atilla's team were not crushed. The four of them stood up with head aches. Fdoou, and 1nsanity were also alive. However, Toxic did not make it.
"How did we survive?" Atilla asked.
"I added a protection spell along with the lock down spell." Meredith answered.
"So you saved us!" Atilla said happily.
Meredith smiled. The battle was won. Atilla did not win against Linus, Atilla won against himself. However Atilla proved to Linus that even in the world that is under eternal darkness, light still shines, as bright as the hopes and dreams of everyone that still have a heart.

Prologue (Chapter 12):
Boh enjoyed the fear and respect she and Daniel received from students as they walked to Some Man's room. She felt the power and complete control. Now if she even requested a glass of water, everyone would jump out of windows just to get her a glass of water. Daniel on the other hand was upset by the amount of attention they were receiving. He wanted everything to go back as it was and he didn't care if he was going to be bullied or not.
"You killed one of my students. It is typical behavior from you Boh, but Daniel I would have never expected such actions from you." Some Man said as Boh and Daniel entered the room.
"I had no choice." Daniel pleaded. "What will happen to us now?" he asked nervously.
Boh and Daniel expected to be kicked out onto the streets where they would have had to go back to being thieves and possibly murderers.
"You think I will kick you out?" Some Man asked.
Boh and Daniel looked at each other in confusion.
"I will give you another chance. However, you will be placed in a special room where I am able to keep a closer eye on you." Some Man finished.
Boh and Daniel did not expect such kindness after murdering a student. Daniel was grateful, Boh on the other hand was afraid that this 'new room' would change Daniel to be a better person.
Week Six, Segment Two.
"My lady where have you been? Our battle is next week! We looked everywhere for you!" Frogman exclaimed.
"There was business me and Ant had to take care of... alone." BEE explained.
"What business can be more important than getting prepared for the battle that could potentially get us killed?" Spiderman asked.
"As of right now, it's none of your business. So has anyone found out who we are going to fight?" BEE asked.
There rest of the team looked at each other in confusion.
"We were too busy searing for you my lady." Jaba said.
"Well there we go, instead of finding valuable information you were running around wasting your energy." BEE said.
The team wasn't just running around wasting their energy. Pyromaniac spent the past several weeks training Master1, teaching him the inns and outs of fire and several fascinating techniques that came with it. King trained Honey to be more slick and gave her a lot of valuable experience on being a ghost when needed. Prune and Matt had a hitting contest to see who could resist most pain, although Prune won every time. Matt had an ability that Prune had always wanted, create an ice club and hit people some more. Jaba taught GKAbyss the ability to create toxic water that was able to melt through anything. Overall, King and his team had given so much experience and knowledge to Master1 and his team, however King's team was still better in almost every way.

"We won." Atilla said when he and his team got back to base.
"It's unfortunate that Toxic died though, I had a feeling he was forced to be evil and had a chance to be good." Meredith said.
"It is none of our concern anymore." Atilla said. "Now we have to fulfill the deal we had with BEE." Atilla added.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Meredith asked.
"We have no choice. If it wouldn't have been for her, the result of the match would have been completely different." Atilla said.
"The result is not different either way. You are saying we lost? Even after we've gotten so far?" Meredith shouted.
Atilla grabbed Meredith's hands and looked her in the eyes.
"No. We have won." Atilla said as he smiled.

"In the darkness, the mighty darkness, Daniel sleeps tonight." Fdoou sang to try and cheer up the other two.
1nsanity was as cheerful as ever with his huge smile across his face. However Linus seemed scared but determined. The three of them were heading through a dark forest to meet Daniel and his team.
"You're not helping Fdoou." Linus said in an angry tone.
"Maybe he will let us go?" Fdoou asked.
"You really think that? If we have to die, let's at least face it." Linus said pessimistically.
The three of them came up to a throne made fully out of skulls of fallen enemies. On top of the throne set no one other than Daniel. To his right stood Doh, Thwinkt was further away, in front of the throne acting like a body guard. Boh was nowhere to be seen.
"I've been waiting." Daniel said.
"What happened yesterday will never happen again." Fdoou said almost instantly.
"Fdoou my friend, the person that makes the dead rise." Daniel began. His voice sounded extremely sarcastic. "I have heard great things from you." Daniel continued. "Please step forward." Daniel finished.
Fdoou swallowed some spit nervously before stepping away from the other two.
Thwinkt walked up to Fdoou and looked him straight in the eyes.
'You're pathetic.' Thwinkt's eyes told Fdoou.
With the one swing of the blades, Thwinkt ripped apart the muscles on the back of Fdoou's legs making Fdoou fall down on his knees in front of Daniel.
"I have a special toy I brought today just for you three. I call it the 'sound of silence'." Daniel said.
The name was extremely ironic to the purpose of the torturous metal bull that was brought up in front of Fdoou.
"You will be placed inside of this bull one at a time. The bull will then get heated by fire causing your body to slowly melt inside of it until nothing is left of you." Daniel explained with an evil smile.
"No, please!" Fdoou cried.
Thwinkt picked Fdoou up by his shoulders and thrust him inside the bull before closing it and setting it on fire. 1nsanity and Linus watched with fear of what was going to happen to them. Fdoou began screaming at the top of his lungs, trying to summon his fellow puppets. However he was unable to do this.
"It's a special type of metal, it cancels out all your powers." Daniel explained shortly after.
As Fdoou was screaming, a short depressed laugh came out from 1nsanity. He began laughing at the sight almost as if he was having a mental breakdown. The laugh overtook Fdoou's scream, it was disturbing and very depressing for Linus. The sight of the three of them suffering made Daniel smile even more.
"Enough." Daniel said.
Thwinkt opened up the bull, pulled out Fdoou and instantly beheaded him.
"You see, if we wait for him to die, we'd be waiting all day. We still have to get through all of you." Daniel explained. "1nsanity, I am seeing that you're enjoying your time. Why don't you have a go next?" Daniel asked a rhetorical question.
Thwinkt moved out of the way, he wasn't going to cut 1nsanity's legs just like he did with Fdoou. 1nsanity overfilled with excitement and joy ran towards the bull and got in by himself. Thwinkt shut the bull and lit it on fire. Shortly after, laughing began coming out from the bull. This time the laughing hurt Linus' ears, it was a horrible laugh, it was so horrible that it made Linus fall on his knees with hands on his ears in pain. Daniel, Doh, and Thwinkt did not even shiver, it was as if they weren't affected by it.
"Why? I had done everything you asked! I even kept Doh alive for you! Why do this to me after everything I've done to help you thrive?" Linus cried.
"Oh you certainly did a great job, fantastic job, even I didn't expect that you'd do so well with everything I've told you to do." Daniel said.
"Then why kill me?" Linus yelled.
"You see, your power is amazing. You collect fear from those that are afraid of you." Daniel began explaining.
"Get to the point!" Linus begged.
"Remember when you're ultimate form failed? All the fear you collected had escaped your grasp. I was the one the stole it." Daniel explained.
"You monster! You were the reason we lost the match!" Linus shouted.
"Since you are empty of power and I have nothing left to steal, I have simply lost any need in you." Daniel continued as if not hearing what Linus was saying.
"Burn in hell!" Linus screamed.
"Speaking of burning, it's you're turn." Daniel was reminded.
Thwinkt opened up the bull and beheaded 1nsanity. Thwinkt then walked up to Linus, picked him up and thrust him inside the bull. Thwinkt then closed and lit the bull on fire. The bull was full with blood, skin, awful smell, and other disgusting parts left from Fdoou and 1nsanity. Linus began screaming inside of it.
"Leave him in there, take all this away from here." Daniel commanded.
Thwinkt picked up the somewhat melted bodies of Fdoou and 1nsanity and began moving them and the bull away from Daniel until nothing but silence was heard.
"Don't you enjoy this silence?" Daniel asked.
However, although Doh was the only one around, he was clearly talking to someone else.
"Your cruelty, it hasn't changed. Don't you get tired of it once in a while?" Boh asked.
Boh had her own throne made out of dark metal.
"Come on, you have to admit, it was fun while it lasted." Daniel said.
"Don't you remember the time? The better time?" Boh asked.
"That was years ago. Don't remind me of that awful time." Daniel said with frustration.
"You had promised him, what happened to the promise?" Boh asked.
"Silence! Stop irritating me or you'll end up like those three!" Daniel yelled.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so ignorant." Boh said in a sad tone.
Daniel was irritated, he wanted to kill Boh, he had the ability to do so. However he held back, Boh had the control over him. She had the final word in all discussions.

Prologue (Chapter 13):
Although Boh and Daniel had their own separate rooms from the rest of the students, trained in a different room and had a close eye kept on them, they were still allowed to socialise with other students. People slowly began losing fear towards Daniel and he soon made new friends. Boh on the other hand kept everyone in control. Both of them were enjoying their lives from this point, it seemed so perfect... too perfect. They had no idea that their lives would have changed forever in a matter of couple of minutes.
Boh woke up to horrible screams in the middle of the night. She got out of bed and walked outside her room. The sight she saw was unbearable to watch, blood, ripped off body parts lying everywhere. She rushed to Daniel's room to see if he was alright, thankfully he was out of bed in his room not hurt.
"What's going on?" Daniel moaned.
"I don't know! We have to get out of here!" Boh shouted.
"We need to find Some Man!" Daniel said.
"No, we have no time!" Boh refused.
"I don't care! We have to find him!" Daniel insisted.
Boh had to give in, the two of them rushed out of the room and ran towards Some Man's room. At this time, the dojo was set on fire and began burning down. As Daniel and Boh rushed through Some Man's door they saw a detrimental view. A dark figure with a devil like sword was holding Some Man up in the air with one hand.
Some Man saw Daniel and Boh "Run you fools!" He shouted.
"No!" Daniel shouted.
He wanted to help Some Man, but Boh held him back. The dark figure noticed the presence of the two kids.
"You will pay Fradeshan!" Some Man shouted.
Fradeshan smiled "Just die quietly old man." He said.
With one swing of his over sized two handed long sword he beheaded Some Man right in front of Boh and Daniel.
"NO!" Daniel shouted.
"Daniel we have to go!" Boh yelled.
Fradeshan turned to face the two kids. However, Boh managed to pull Daniel out of the room. The two of them rushed to the exit. However the exit door was blocked by dark henchmen.
"What do we do?" Daniel asked.
"Follow me!" Boh shouted.
The two of them ran towards Boh's room but unfortunately, Fradeshan was already blocking the path to it so the turned into a bathroom and out the opposite door. They ran through the forest as fast as they could until the came up to a river.
"Should we sleep on a tree? They won't find us." Daniel asked.
"No it's too dangerous here. Let's follow the river so we don't get lost." Boh suggested.
The two of them traveled a long distance until they felt safe enough to climb onto a tree and fall asleep. It was a tough night for the two of them.
Week Seven, Segment One.
The crowd filled up the arena once again. The day was going to fill up with blood once again. At this point, the main discussion between the crowd was whether the fighters were going to die honorably or on complete suffering. As BEE, Frogman, Spiderman, and Ant entered the arena, the crowd began going mental. Team Veterans versus Team Brotherhood were the most hyped battles. Four opponents slowly walked out from the opposite gate of the arena.
"So this is BEE? This is so exciting to meet her in person!" MacAndCheese wheezed.
"This is the last time you'll get to see her as well. Let's make breakfast out of them." Muftwin said confidently.
The four opponents consisted of Tako, Muftwin, MacAndCheese, and Cola1.
"BEE, I thought we'll be fighting Daniel and his team?" Spiderman said in confusion.
"Patience, we will fight them if we have to. There is a high chance they will lose to King." BEE said.
"I didn't sign up for this. Why didn't you tell me? I refuse to eat this food!" Spiderman hesitated.
"Do you always have to be so rude?" Frogman asked.
"Listen, if we get into an argument or if we back down now, we won't come out alive out of this." BEE said.
"But..." Spiderman was going to rebel.
"If we lose now then we won't even get to fight Daniel in the future." BEE finished.
Spiderman looked at Muftwin.
"You really think they can win?" Spiderman asked.
"You'll be surprised." BEE said in response.
"They do seem hesitant to fight you, my lady." Frogman said.
"We can win in two strikes right? Why not finish it now?" Spiderman asked.
"Do you feel the wind?" BEE asked.
"Huh?" Spiderman asked.
"They know. They are prepared." BEE said.
"What does the wind have to do with anything?" Spiderman asked.
"The wind and darkness works to their advantage, I am unable to destroy their vision." BEE explained.
Both team stood there, looking at each other waiting for someone to make a move so that they would be countered. The crowd began raging with the lack of action.
"I'll just flip a coin then." Spiderman said.
"No!" BEE shouted.
However it was too late, Spiderman flipped the coin.
"Now!" Tako shouted.
MacAndCheese instantly made yellow sticky substance come out of the ground and capture BEE's team in place while they were distracted with the coin. The substance also caught the coin in the air, the coin did not finish falling therefore there was no result... no one lost.
"Ahh what is this?" Spiderman shouted.
"It's cheese, we're caught in it." BEE said.
Ant pulled out his massive cleaver and began slicing through the cheese, freeing himself.
"This was what we were all waiting for, the team that was going to make the first move was going to lose the match!" BEE shouted.
"Ant my big fellow! Get my coin!" Spiderman shouted.
Ant began heading towards the stuck coin by slicing the cheese in front of him.
"No you don't!" Tako shouted.
Cola began spraying liquid on Ant and freezing the liquid shortly after, immobolising Ant's movements.
"I never told them, I am the true master of faces." Cola said in a smile.
The next moment, Cola was gone.
"Let me kill them." Muftwin said.
"Not yet, don't give up our advantage. That's how most teams lost so far in this tournament. We need to be wise about our actions." Tako said.
"BEE, we need your power!" Spiderman shouted.
"Tako is able to counter it, he's waiting for me to fall for desperate actions. If we stay in this cheese, no one is going to make a move meaning we have time to think." BEE replied.
This created a huge stalemate between the two teams. Everyone wanted to counter the opponent, but the opponent didn't make a move that could be countered.
"Ant, cut Frogman out of the cheese so he can get the coin." BEE said.
Ant began pulling himself out of the ice which appeared to be difficult. However, after some time Ant managed to chatter the ice and get Frogman out of the cheese. In one leap, Frogman got to the coin and ripped it out of the cheese.
"Great, now give it to me!" Spiderman exclaimed.
Frogman began laughing.
"What's going on?" Spiderman asked.
"No..." BEE said.
Frogman threw the coin at Tako. He caught the coin in his hand with ease.
"Nice one." Tako said softly.
"What was that!?!" Spiderman yelled in anger.
"You are all fools!" Frogman shouted.
In a matter of seconds, the face of Frogman changed... It shifted to Cola's face.
"I am the master of faces! Bow before my brilliance!" Cola shouted.
"BEE... we need you!" Spiderman said loudly.
"Where is the real Frogman?" BEE asked.
"You are all... Ahh!" Tako began saying.
However before Tako could finish speaking, something kicked him in the back forcing him to fall over and the coin flew up in the air. It was Frogman... the real Frogman. He caught the coin.
BEE noticed that Tako was distracted.
"I think it's fairly much over." BEE said.
BEE lifted the arm that was not stuck in cheese and disrupted the colours in the opponent's eyes. They were blinded.
"Frogman get the coin to Spiderman!" BEE shouted.
Frogman was about to do that but something heavy hit him on the head forcing him to fall on the ground, unconscious.
It was Muftwin. He used his hearing senses to locate Frogman's position and knock him out. However, Muftwin was not finished with Frogman. Muftwin mounted Frogman and began making lethal strikes to his face, body, ripping off his skin, trying to murder him.
"Spiderman! Ant will have to throw you, we can't let Frogman die!" BEE shouted.
"I can't land the fall like Frogman though!" Spiderman hesitated.
"We have no choice!" BEE exclaimed.
Ant cut Spiderman from the cheese, picked him up and lunged him at Muftwin. Spiderman landed on Tako, then after traveling a few more meters, he stopped on the ground.
"Ahh!" Spiderman shouted in pain.
"Now! Go!" BEE screamed.
Spiderman picked himself up and ran towards the coin. Now there was no one to stop him. He flipped the coin. Heads. Muftwin began choking. He fell off of Frogman and began rolling on the ground trying to get some air. However, everyone knew he had no chance. Everyone knew that the battle was over. Spiderman stood there and watched as Muftwin died slowly and painfully. It was over. However, dying with the last sight of darkness was depressing, fighting for light, dying from darkness. This was the death Muftwin wanted to avoid but was unsuccessful.
Frogman was rushed to the hospital. The battle finished with only one death. The enemy team, including Tako had so many attacks up their sleeve, however they did not get the chance to show them off. BEE's power was truly magnificent. Blinding opponents was key to winning. BEE and her team were now looking at the future battles, but would Frogman recover by then?

Prologue (Chapter 14):
Boh and Daniel went back to their old ways, stealing money from passing people. However, Daniel had changed after that day... Daniel used to murder people only when they caught him, now he was murdering them before even stealing the money. In fact sometimes he forgot about the money completely, he just killed for no reason. Was this what Boh wanted all along? Boh began realising that she was wrong wanting to release Daniel's dark side. She did not expect such consequences.
"We need to talk." Boh said to Daniel one night when they were in the hunting shack.
Daniel did not say a thing.
"This is not what Some Man wanted." Boh began explaining.
"How would you know? You hated him. You wanted this to happen." Daniel answered in rage.
Although days had passed, Daniel was still not over the fact that Some Man was killed.
"He taught you to be a better person. You should follow by his advice even though he is no longer here." Boh tried to convince Daniel.
"No! I will not rest until I cut Fradeshan's head off, place it on a steak, and light it on fire!" Daniel shouted.
His words were disturbing. Fradeshan was more wise and more deadly. Fradeshan's long sword also resembled something dark, something that should not exist in this world.
"Daniel, you have to leave Fradeshan. He..." Boh began speaking but was interrupted.
"I don't care if you want to help me, I will kill him with or without your help." Daniel finished.
Boh looked down at the floor in thought.
After minuted of silence Boh looked back up at Daniel "I will help you." She said.
Week Seven, Segment Two.
"BEE you lied to me!" Spiderman shouted.
The group had returned to Master1's hideout to rest and discuss their battle.
"I didn't lie, I just didn't tell you the full story." BEE replied.
"Don't play stupid games with me! I agreed to help you defeat Daniel! This is the first time I killed an innocent person and it's all your fault!" Spiderman kept yelling.
"Maybe in the future you will help me defeat him." BEE tried to get out of the argument.
"That's lies and you know it! His next battle is against King and everyone already knows the outcome of that!" Spiderman kept arguing. "If he will be defeated before I even fight him then I am leaving! There is no use for me to stay here any longer. I won't let you use me just so you can get to semi-finals and go up against King." Spiderman finished.
"Spider..." BEE tried to re convince him.
However Spiderman left the building in a rush before BEE could say anything.
"Well that was rude of him." Banana Venom said.
Everyone gasped in confusion of how she got here however no one questioned, everyone except BEE knelt in front of Banana Venom.
"B.V! Long time no see!" BEE shouted as she ran towards Banana Venom.
The two of them hugged. Although Banana Venom was a royalty, it was clear that BEE was pretty close to her, close enough to call her by name.
"Yeah BEE, been a while." Banana Venom answered.
"How have you been? How is Squadfs?" BEE asked.
"My father is alright, we've been very busy lately trying to solve the issue with darkness. We are starting to lose trust from community." Banana Venom answered in sadness.
"Sorry to hear. You do know what is causing it right?" BEE asked.
"We have no real proof but we are certain it's caused by Team Element Group A. Until we have actual proof, we are unable to take actions." Banana Venom explained.
At this moment BEE became suspicious. "Why are you here?" She asked curiously.
"The thing is, we can't take action, but all of you can." Banana Venom answered.
"You are here to encourage us?" BEE asked.
Master1 began whispering "Matt I want you to check this building for any dead give away's that this is our base after Banana Venom leaves. Everyone keeps finding us."
"Oh right, all your friends can stand up." Banana Venom said.
Everyone stood up from their knees.
"Not so much encourage you, but instead help you and answer any questions." Banana Venom said.
"Is King actually going to win?" BEE asked.
"Listen to yourself. You are not questioning me, not even yourself. You are questioning Buzzerbee right now. Do you really think his prophecy is wrong?" Banana Venom asked.
"He was wrong before..." BEE wanted to argue.
"If Buzzerbee's drug had failed and he wasn't able to predict future correctly, then he wouldn't have been allowed to participate in the arena. He simply did not calculate the fact that a person with a failed drug such as Matt would enter the arena. However, there is nothing he couldn't have predicted between King and Daniel. I am certain King and his team will be victorious." Banana Venom finished.
Everyone looked around or at the ground. Banana Venom's words were inspiring but no one wanted to seem better than anyone else.
"Now for the real reason I came... BEE your team is down two people and your next battle is going to come in a month or maybe less. I can heal Frogman's wounds." Banana Venom explained.
"I thought you were not allowed to interfere with things like this?" BEE asked.
"You're a good friend of mine BEE, I don't want you to lose your next battle." Banana Venom explained.
Banana Venom, BEE, King, and Master1 got to the hospital whereas the rest of the group stayed back. As they entered, they were greeted by confused doctors and medics who did not know why the daughter of the Royal One had come to visit this place. As they entered Frogman's room they saw him lying on a bed. Park of his skin were torn off and some would argue whether he was beaten by Muftwin or whether he got caught on fire. He was in a coma with air mask on his broken face. BEE almost broke down crying from this view.
"Look away." Banana Venom said.
BEE, King, and Master1 looked away. Banana Venom placed her hand on Frogman's face. The wounds began to heal, his face began regenerating. He was becoming to look like a frog person once again like he had been before attack from Muftwin.
As BEE turned back around, she saw her old friend standing in front of her all healed from the wounds.
"Frog!" BEE shouted as she ran to hug him.
"My lady, where am I, what happened?" Frogman asked, still in confusion as if he was woken up in the middle of the night.
"Can you heal others? Such as Hockey?" King asked.
"Unfortunately, I cannot." Banana Venom began explaining. "Frogman was physically wounded and thus it didn't take much effort to heal him. However, Hockey, 0176, others, their brains are blinded by darkness making them mentally not physically hurt. I cannot defeat the darkness created in their minds." Banana Venom finished.
Frogman was taken back to Master1's hideout to rest. Banana Venom left shortly after. BEE was full of happiness and energy knowing that Frogman is alright and Daniel would be shortly defeated. Banana Venom left a positive mood and helped the teams a lot with confidence. BEE was grateful for Banana Venom's visit.

Prologue (Chapter 15):
It took weeks if not months to find where Fradeshan was hiding. Daniel and Boh searched everywhere not realising that Fradeshan was hiding in plain sight. He was a defendant. It seemed that he was a corrupt defendant though, why else would he have led his forced to attack and kill everyone in Some Man's school? It took weeks if not months to plan how Boh and Daniel were going to go about with the assassination. It was not easy to get to the head defendant of a whole squad, a whole army it felt at the time. However, after a lot of planning, Boh and Daniel were finally ready to commit to getting his head.
Fradeshan hid in a tent surrounded by wooden fences, spikes and other barriers. Withing the barricades, there were tens of people and dogs. Outside the barriers, there were even more dogs and people patrolling the area. It seemed impenetrable, they had to hope that Fradeshan would come outside of his walls but then again, he'd still be guarded and hard to get to. Either way Fradeshan did not even come out a single time these couple of weeks or months which is weird for a defendant. All the necessities were brought to him in crates by horses that carried carts... that's right... this was the plan, to sneak onto the cart undetected. This plan seemed flawless at the time, however they still had trouble.
Sneaking into the cart wasn't difficult. As soon as the cart made it through the gates, some dogs became suspicious. The dogs began barking at the cart, knowing that something was not right with it.
"What is in your cart?" A guard asked.
"Nothing illegal, I promise. I don't know why your dogs are barking." The cart owner replied calmly.
"Then you don't mind if we check what's in it?" The guard asked.
"Go ahead, I have nothing to hide." The cart owner replied, calm as ever.
Tension arose for Daniel and Boh when the guard and one of his dogs jumped onto the cart. The dog began sniffing the crates one by one, Daniel and Boh tried to be as silent as they possibly could. The dog stopped in front of one of the crates and began sniffing it, harder than the rest of the crates. The dog then began barking at the crate, something was in it.
"What is in this crate?" The guard asked.
"Some food I believe, I can check the list that..." The cart owner tried to explain.
"No. I want you to open the crate." The guard said firmly.
As the cart owner came close to the crate, tension built up between everyone. The guard readied a spear to stab whatever was in the crate. As the cart owner thrust the crate open, everyone was shocked to see a tone of meat fall out of the crate.
"Stupid hungry dog!" The guard shouted as he hit the dog with his fist. "Sorry to have bothered you. You may continue into the barricade." The guard finished.
The cart owner closed the crate and began moving the horses as the guard told him to do. Little did anyone realise that Daniel and Boh were actually hiding under the cart itself, just above the ground.
Boh and Daniel waited until night time. Some more dogs sniffed and ran around, barking at the cart once in a while, however their owners thought that it was just their hunger.
"We really need to feed these stupid dogs better." Daniel heard one of the guards say once.
As the night came, Daniel and Boh quickly but silently left the cart and hid behind tents where there were no guards lurking.
"What's the plan now?" Boh asked carefully.
"We kill all of them." Daniel replied in the most serious way possible.
"There is Fradeshan's tent... how do we get to it?" Boh asked completely ignoring Daniel's comment.
"I already told you, we kill all of them." Daniel continued.
"And how do we even do that?" Boh asked in the most annoyed way possible.
"There are plans that I do not tell you." Daniel replied.
"What do you mean?" Boh asked curiously.
"Give it 5 seconds... 4... 3... 2..." Daniel counted down.
As soon as Daniel reached 1, the cart with supplied went up in flames. The flames spread fast, this was a negative factor of having everything made out of cloth and wood.
The weeks or months of planning were used wisely. Daniel risked his and Boh's life just to get revenge on Fradeshan.
"You could have killed us!" Boh shouted.
"Don't care." Daniel replied.
At that moment, in the midst of panic Boh really began to realise what monster Daniel was becoming. However, she had not seen everything yet.
As everything lit up in flames and people were running around screaming, trying to get away from fire, some already on fire rolling on the ground. Daniel headed straight for Fradeshan's tent.
Daniel picked up a scimitar lying on the ground from a dead person, he was half way to getting to Fradeshan's tent now. Fradeshan ran out of his tent in panic, not knowing what was happening. One slice is all it took. Daniel cut Fradeshan's throat with one swing of the scimitar. Fradeshan fell on his knees in front of Daniel.
"No!" A voice was heard from the distance. It was Benje. "Father! No!" Benje shouted again.
"Daniel we need to go!" Boh shouted as she grabbed his arm.
"Wait." Daniel said calmly.
They were surrounded by fire, if they would have spent there any more time they would have been burnt to crisp.
"I want that sword." Daniel said with an evil stare.
He was looking at the dark long sword that Fradeshan held in his hand. The same long sword Daniel later uses at the arena to destroy teams.
As Daniel grabbed the sword, darkness filled his heart and mind. The sword held some out of the world power, something dark and evil. The sword began controlling Daniel. Daniel fell on his knees, screaming in pain. Boh realised that Daniel was paralyzed so she grabbed him and found an opening in the fire. With Boh's slickness, she got out of the burning place with Daniel just in time. The whole place collapsed from fire. The sword weighed her down making it more difficult for her to move around, however Daniel was not keen on letting the sword go. They got back to the hunting shack safely with only a few burns on the body, Boh placed Daniel into a bed. He fell asleep almost instantly.
Week Eight, Segment One.
Honey took turns with GKAbyss at looking after Hockey. It was a boring process so they pretty much took turns at either playing stones with other friends which was similar to card games or took turns knitting or designing. A boring process overall which seemed more boring for Honey than it did for GKAbyss. Today when GKAbyss was in charge of looking after Hockey, Honey decided to take a stroll at the market to see what was new. The market seemed a lot more lively after Linus had disappeared, no one really knew what happened to him after the battle against Atilla.
Honey was looking around when she caught a glimpse of him, of Benje. She began following him, he picked up the pace as if he saw Honey was on his tail.
"Benje!" Honey shouted.
However he kept running, trying to lose her in the crowd. It almost seemed so, Honey lost sight of him but then they bumped into each other around the corner.
"Benje, please. You need to tell me what happened. You said he killed our parents, you have to give me the details!" Honey cried.
"You want to know the details? You want me to remember the day I wanted to forget my whole life?" Benje asked.
"I am sorry, but I want to know." Honey insisted.
Benje led Honey into a hut which seemed like it was going to fall at any second. It seemed deserted, a perfect place to hide. Benje opened a trapdoor and both of them entered an underground area. This place had posters, awful smell, bits of food and old socks lying around everywhere. A typical stereotypical place where a boy or group of boys lived with no one to clean after them.
"Sorry the place is a mess." Benje apologised.
"I live in a building full of guys with the only other female being BEE, I am used to this." Honey lied about the maintenance.
Their place was cleaner than this dump by a mile. However, this was not the time to be harassing her brother for not cleaning after himself.
Benje moved some garbage off of a table and the two of them sat down on it.
"You're about to hear my side of the story of what really happened. I want you to know that I will never forget that awful day and the days that followed after. Are you sure you want to know?" Benje asked.
"I've had to bear with death of my close friends before, I am sure I can handle it." Honey replied.
"Very well then. It was a peaceful night just like any other." Benje began telling the story. "You were asleep and must not have heard the screams. However, I heard everything. I ran out of the tent to see the worst sight that will always haunt me in my nightmares..." Benje00 continued.
Daniel picked up a scimitar lying on the ground from a dead person, he was half way to getting to Fradeshan's tent now. Fradeshan ran out of his tent in panic, not knowing what was happening. One slice is all it took. Daniel cut Fradeshan's throat with one swing of the scimitar. Fradeshan fell on his knees in front of Daniel. Benje saw this happen right in front of his eyes. The horror filled him, he began shaking. Tears began coming out of his eyes.
"No!" Benje shouted "Father! No!" Benje shouted again.
"Daniel we need to go!..." Boh shouted as she grabbed Daniel's arm.
However, Benje did not care what Boh or Daniel were doing at this point.
Fire surrounded Benje, he quickly ran into the tent and picked Honey up.
"What's going on?" Honey moaned.
"Shh sis, everything is okay, just keep sleeping." Benje said silently.
"Why is it so hot? I can't breathe!" Honey continued crying.
Benje ran out of the tent as fast as he could, it was lit on fire by the time he got out. Right there, the awful sight did not stop. Benje saw their mother, running out of the tent. She was lit on fire from head to toes. Benje was stunned from the awful sight, for a moment he didn't know what to do. He was lost, he wondered whether it would be better for him to die in the fire as well.
"Brother!" Honey cried.
This snapped him out from his thoughts. He realised that he was in control of two lives, it was up to him to save his sister. No, it was not the time to die, not like this. Benje ran towards a trap door, still holding Honey in his hands. Not many people knew about this trap door as it was hidden from plain sight. Fradeshan told him about it in case something was to go wrong. Benje and Honey escaped the fire. The trap door came out in a forest, from there Benje searched for a hut to stay in. This was the hut that he found and quickly made into 'home.' Honey barely recognised this place but now she understood why it was so familiar.
From that moment, life was difficult. Benje had to go to the streets with the sign 'I have a baby sister to feed' begging for money but he was not getting enough to feed the two of them. This is when Benje decided to part ways with Honey. In the middle of a night, less than a week after the fire incident, Benje dropped honey in front of a door of a wealthy looking house, knocked on the door then ran away. The confused owners of the house came out not knowing who it could have been in the middle of the night to find Honey lying on their steps. They took her in and raised her as if she was their own.
"I understand now. This was the same house that was owned by the parents of Master1. This is when I first met him." Honey said.
"I am sorry for doing that to you." Benje said. "At first it seemed like I did that to hopefully give you a chance for a better life whereas in reality I only got rid of you because you reminded me of what happened that day. I thought that by getting rid of you the nightmares would stop. They never did." Benje finished.
"No." Honey said. "You did the right thing. You did everything you could. I don't blame you for anything. I am sorry for what you had to witness." Honey replied.
"There was a reason why Daniel killed our parents you know." Benje continued.
"Please do tell." Honey was interested.
"Months earlier to that event, our father infiltrated a school where a dark figure was brainwashing students making them do what he wanted." Benje said. "Since our father was the leading defendant, it was up to him to lead the attack. However, some of the brainwashed students began fighting back so our father had nothing to do but to kill them and set their dojo on fire." Benje said.
"Was Daniel one of these students?" Honey asked.
"Daniel was brainwashed like the rest, on top of this, he escaped that day." Benje continued explaining. "Their trainer created a monster from a person and told this monster to attack us. It's his teacher that you have to blame." Benje said.
"How could their teacher do such a thing?" Honey asked.
"Their teacher was an evil man. However, our father wasn't exactly 'good' either." Benje continued explaining. "Our father has gotten to his rank from doing pure good. However, in one of his cases he picked up a dark long sword which made him suffer for months if not years. Once he learnt to control it, he was not the same person. He became a 'bad' person. That sword holds some dark power and it traveled from one user to the next in search for a dark soul strong enough to control it. It had finally found it's final victim, Daniel." Benje explained.
"Are you saying that sword..." Honey wanted to say.
"That sword should not be existing in this world." Benje said firmly. "Daniel must be stopped and that sword has to be destroyed. We have to avenge our parent's deaths." Benje finished.
"At least now, we are able to do it together!" Honey said with a smile.
"Yes. Together." Benje confirmed.

Prologue (Chapter 16):
The first few days and nights Daniel did not eat or drink a single thing. He kept screaming in bed and Boh wondered when Daniel would die. Boh tried to take the sword away thinking it was the cause, however just as she placed her hand on it Daniel said in an almost demonic voice.
"Put the sword down!" He said.
It was not him, the Daniel she knew was different, the sword was consuming him. He continued screaming in pain after saying these couple of words. Boh thought he'd die from dehydration, hunger or not being able to go to the bathroom yet Daniel survived, as if he didn't need to do any of these things.
A week had passed, Daniel stopped screaming at night time. He was finally sleeping at least although he continued screaming as soon as he woke up. He finally started eating, drinking, sleeping, and excreting. However he struggled standing on his feet and continued screaming in pain so Boh had to help him in every day tasks. Days had passed, weeks, months, maybe years. It became a chore for Boh. Not only did she get used to helping Daniel, but she also learnt how to manage the time of baby sitting, getting money, and cleaning the hunting shack. Hunters came over for the hunting season once, this was the only time Boh seen Daniel stand since the incident. This was the last time Boh had seen hunters as well. She was afraid of Daniel. She didn't know how long his screaming would last. This is the same pain KirbyFan is going to experience later in life when he absorbed Daniel's power at the arena. This is the darkest power to have ever existed.
Week Eight, Segment Two.
Interestingly enough, only BEE came to see today's battle at the arena. Everyone stayed back thinking nothing interesting or new will happen today. However, BEE knew otherwise. Today, a clash between Team Element Group D and Team Archangels Group D. It was bound to be a heated battle. The crowd started taking their spots and the drummers began playing. Everyone was excited to see two new team in the arena with either one of them having equal chance at winning.
They liked to call themselves the "Z" crew. Highly trained assassins that could have accomplished any goal without anyone even noticing it. Lead by two figures with the name of one. Zacoidy. Highly recognised assassins who won many awards and created great things in secret collaboration with the "Moo" crew. Although it was never proven that they were part of this crew, it was obvious that the great things done by this crew were only possible thanks to Zacoidy. What was their real names? Zacoist and Zoidy, the master minds who were highly influenced by darkness. The "Z" crew also had a lady, smart in everything she did and had concluded many lives. No one could ever win an argument against her even if they tried because the facts she had in store were unbeatable. Although on the outside she seemed nothing more than a debater, in reality she was one of the deadliest assassins in this world. Her name is Zoey. Finally there was the calm, patient, yet deadly tank who assassinated everyone standing in the way between him and his victim. He was the one that was not afraid to show his face before he finished the job. He was always ready to take chances at the right moment. His name was Zakleo.
They could have led anyone into a trap. They made themselves look innocent, uncertain to bait their prey before clenching their thirst for blood. Their style of battle was simple, straightforward yet no one could match their tactics. Their names were Aoitenshi, xJeex, Bobyy, and Different. It was that simple, they didn't win any awards and they didn't race to get most kills. They waited, they caught their prey, then they killed it. Nothing more, nothing less. While all the other teams tried to show off and gain approval from the crowd, this team simply took the advantage from being quiet and they used this advantage to reach any goals.
Both teams were highly competitive and had the same goal. To win the tournament. However, on this very day only one of these two teams would move on closer to their goal. The crowd grew louder as Zakleo stepped into the arena. His appearance did not give away that he was a professional assassin, but rather made him look like he was professional in melee combat with a blade and a round shield as his accessories. However, none of his other team mates showed their face reminding everyone that this was going to be a stealth battle with many details that could have been missed. However, everyone from the enemy team on the other side of the arena entered with plain look and not a single worry on their faces. Aoitenshi even carried a book that he was reading, it did not seem like a spell or magic book. It seemed to be like an average non fiction book. This team seemed mildly... boring.
"xJeex, did you know that the largest number in the world is the Graham's number?" Aoitenshi asked.
"From a technical point of view, this number only fills up our universe, but how do we know that there is not more than one universe? I sense that this number was made up in order to pay for the bills at the laboratory and give the newspapers something to talk about." xJeex replied.
"So you think it's a conspiracy?" Aoitenshi asked.
"I am sure Different has already thought of a number larger than that right now." xJeex replied.
Different stood there in silence with not a care in the world. He was known however to be a thinker outside of the box who had the abilities to think of something impossible and interpret it as if it was an easy thing to do. However, no one seemed to care nor notice that they were at the arena and their lives were at stake.
Zakleo became enraged with the amount of disrespect the other team was showing. With a quick run up, Zakleo was in Aoitenshi's face in the matter of seconds. Swinging his blade, trying to slice Aoitenshi. However, Aoitenshi was dodging the attacks without any trouble, still continuing to read his book. It seemed that Aoitenshi did not care, the book was clearly more important than whatever Zakleo was doing. Then it happened. The worst thing Zakleo could have possible done, he managed to get a successful slice. He sliced Aoitenshi's book in half. As Aoitenshi watched the paper fall on the ground in slow motion, it was as if a part inside of him had just died. His eyes began filling up with rage, it was clear that Zakleo was in huge trouble.
"Oh he had done it now." Bobyy said.
"Idiot, I suggest you run." xJeex said out loud.
Zakleo looked at Aoitenshi who looked like he was about to kill everyone on the field. With a quick run back, Zakleo was back on the safe side of the field. It was useless. Aoitenshi dashed right into Zakleo causing the both of them to fly backwards into a wall. The collision made a massive dent in the wall, Zakleo looked helpless. Aoitenshi picked Zakleo up with one hand on his throat.
"There is absolutely no way anyone is going to help you now." Aoitenshi said.
It was not in that he said it, it was in the way he actually went about saying it. At that moment Aoitenshi looked more insane than 1nsanity himself.
Two grappling hooks were sent at Aoitenshi. Zacoist and Zoidy came to help, they didn't leave Zakleo to die after all. The two of them started pulling the grappling hooks causing Aoitenshi drop Zakleo and fall back.
"We need to help." Different said.
"You think so? Maybe we should just stay here and do nothing." xJeex said sarcastically.
The two of them ran at Zacoist and Zoidy. However, Zoey jumped into the picture.
"Sorry boys, this is not your fight." She said.
She threw two knives at the two of them both landing in their shoulders. This sudden attack made them stop still for a couple of seconds, confused. These couple of seconds were vital, it became obvious the "Z" team had the control over this battle.
However, Aoitenshi was still freaking out. He grabbed the two ropes of the grappling hooks and suddenly a quick and strong pull causing Zacoist and Zoidy fall forwards. All this time, Bobyy stayed back with not a single care in the world with what was going on. Different and xJeex continued running at Zoey, however she lunged at the two of them, pushed the knives in their shoulders deeper causing them break through the other side. Then she caught the knives and stabbed them in their other shoulder. The two of them fell on their knees in pain, Zoey had full control over them, one more mistake and the next time the knives could have been in their heads.
Aoitenshi picked up the ropes from the grappling hooks, made a noose and placed it over Zakleo's neck.
"I'ma kill you! You hear me!?!" Aoitenshi shouted.
Zoidy and Zacoist jumped onto Aoitenshi, kicking and punching him. Aoitenshi ripped the metal hooks from his body and stabbed the two of them. Zoey realised what he was doing, she had to stop him. She kicked xJeex and Different out of the way, picked up two more knives out of her belt and threw them at Aoitenshi. It only slowed him down for a couple of seconds. However, just like last time, these couple of seconds were vital. The next moment, Zoey was on Aoitenshi's shoulders. Her shoes had very sharp heels almost like knives purposely to use them as weapons. She was jabbing and slicing Aoitenshi, he was falling apart mentally.
Bobyy looked at what was happening.
"I guess I should help..." He thought.
He slowly started walking towards the bloody mess that had formed on the other side of the field. Although he was clearly moving slowly, there was a moment where he might have lunged or ran? It was too fast to be sure. However, this was not the point. He crashed into Zoey causing both of them to collide with the wall. Another collision made an even bigger hole in the wall. Aoitenshi could not move his arms, however he did not need to. He picked up the ropes near the grappling hooks jabbed into Zacoist and Zoidy and in no clear way, started running up the wall. Since Zakleo was jangled in the ropes, Aoitenshi was pretty much hanging him. Meanwhile Bobyy was beating Zoey. It was all over.
Aoitenshi, Zacoist, and Zoidy fell on the ground. All three were alive but seriously wounded. Bobyy had no intention of killing Zoey, however she was brutally beaten. Bobyy seemed to be the least damaged. Zakleo on the other hand did not make it. Everyone was ready for Anch's call on the victor.
"And the winners, Team Element Group D!" Anch announced.
Everyone stared at each other in shock, looking for explanation. Everyone was confused. Did Anch get it wrong? How did the "Z" team win? Zakleo was dead! Zoey began laughing. Everyone looked at Different and xJeex, quickly realising why the "Z" team had won. Zoey managed to kill them, but it wasn't fast death, they had bled out just before Zakleo had died which is why Anch did not stop the battle.
But why did Zoey not kill them instantly? Why did she wait until Zakleo died?
"It was all planned! She needed Zakleo to die! How can she be so cruel!?!" Bobyy shouted in desperation.
Although Zoey felt weak, she was still able to stand and talk.
"Bobyy, there are things you don't need to know. We will recover, don't worry about us. Now go home and cry in bed that you lost simply because you got outplayed by a person 3 steps ahead of your thinking." Zoey said.
These words struck Bobyy. His team had always been at least 3 steps ahead, no one had ever managed to outplay them. This was their drug effect, how could someone out think them? It was impossible! Aoitenshi died shortly after before making it to the hospital due to huge loss of blood. Bobyy was the only member to have survived. However, Zoey, and Zacoidy were sent to the hospital for recovery, there was a high chance they'd successfully recover before their next battle.

Prologue (Chapter 17):
Then one day, out of nowhere, Daniel stopped screaming. He just stopped, that's it. Boh wondered for a second id he had died but as soon as she looked at his face she realised that this was not so. Daniel was not only breathing, but he was also... smiling.
"Are you okay?" Boh asked carefully.
"Never been better." Daniel replied as if he wasn't screaming every day for the past year.
"Is anything wrong?" Boh asked again, surprised in such an answer.
Daniel looked at her as if he didn't recognise her.
"Daniel..." Boh whispered.
"Get out." Daniel firmly said.
"Daniel... what's wrong... why...?" Boh began saying rapidly confused with what Daniel just said.
Daniel stood up from the bed, picked up the dark long sword. He then pushed Boh out of the way and proceeded out of the door of the hunting shack.
"Daniel, wait!" Boh shouted.
However, by the time she ran out of the door, Daniel was nowhere to be seen. Boh was not thinking straight during that moment so she went back into the house thinking Daniel would return. However after some hours of thinking and once she could think straight again she realised.
'He's going to the arena!' She thought.
Week Nine, Segment One.
BEE returned to Master1's not secret hideout.
"My lady, did you learn anything new about our opponents?" Frogman asked.
"Actually, I am more lost than I had been before." BEE replied.
"So who had won?" King asked.
"Team Element won. However they sacrificed their own team mate." BEE replied
"Bah, happens all the time. Not the first case." Jaba said.
"No. This time was different. They let him die on purpose." BEE stated.
The room became silent in an instance.
"Why would a team so sure of their victory sacrifice their own member?" Matt asked after some time.
"Yeah, wouldn't it be like sacrificing Prune after we win against Daniel? Stupid right?" King laughed.
Prune gave him an angry look.
"I don't know. However, I feel like our opponents know more about us than we do about them." BEE said.
"Speaking of your next battle my lady. Have you found a fourth member now that Spiderman isn't here?" Master1 asked.
"Actually I've been thinking of resigning from the tournament." BEE stated.
Everyone gasped in confusion.
"But why my lady?" King asked.
"Thinking about it, Spiderman is right. What is the point of continuing if Daniel will lose to King either way?" BEE asked. "We will just have to fight King after that and in that case, friends will be lost. It is just not worth it." BEE finished.
"I guess you are right my lady. Why kill each other when we can win together... all of us." King admitted.
The group laughed and changed their subject to a positive one. The idea was great, to win together.

In the hospital Benje was looking after 0176 as he was in his coma.
"Would you like anything to eat or to drink?" The nurse asked.
"No thank you, I am fine." Benje answered.
Suddenly 0176 opened his eyes. They were glowing dark red. This was very strange considering that his eyes were always lit in purple colour due to his positive energy. 0176 stood up from his bed and headed towards the exit.
"0176! You woke up! Are you ok?" Benje asked carefully.
"Move out of the way." 0176 said.
"Is something wrong? 0176 do you need help? Nurse!" Benje shouted.
"Shut it." 0176 shouted. "From now on, my name is Zero." 0176 finished.
0176 proceeded towards the door, pushing Benje out of the way.
'Zero? What is he on about?' Benje thought.

Prologue (Chapter 18):
As expected Daniel headed straight for the arena. Although he was no longer screaming, it was still visible that he was suffering from the darkness. As he approached the sign ups stand for the arena, he was immediately stopped and questioned by two guards.
"What do you think you're doing kid?" One of the guards asked.
"Signing up for the arena." Daniel said in the most dead serious voice.
"Kid, how old are you? 10? Where is your mother? You should run back to her as she might be worried." The guard underestimated Daniel.
It was possible to understand the guard. If a kid aged around 10 wanted to fight to death in a blood filled arena, no one would have expected the kid to be a deadly killer.
"There is no rule on age in the arena, you have no right to stop me." Daniel said.
The way Daniel talked made it seem like he was a lot more mature. He did not talk like an average kid, he went through too much to talk like one.
The two guards looked at each other with a smile on their faces. They were not taking Daniel seriously.
"You have a pretty sharp sword there, mid if we take a look at it?" The second guard asked as he reached for the sword.
In an instance, Daniel beheaded the guard. The first guard looked at the horror but before he could do something, Daniel cut his leg making him fall on the ground. Daniel stepped on his chest and pressed his sword against the guard's face.
"Are you sure I am not allowed to enter?" Daniel asked.
The way Daniel mastered the sword proved to the guard that he is as viable for the arena as any other contestant.
"Go! Go ahead! Enter, I don't mind... don't kill me please?" The guard begged.
Daniel lifted his sword and entered back into the line.
"Brah! You have some serious skills! Would be cool if we were paired in the same team." A cringe voice of someone behind him pronounced.
Daniel had entered the arena without trouble, he was now on his way to a dominating killing spree with no one who could actually stop him.
Week Nine, Segment Two.
Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, and Honey entered the arena. They were the last group to fight in the first group stages. They were nervous as always, they had all the right to be considering their opponents consisted of team "EX," a deadly team element group.
"Matt, theoretically you are still the newest member, ready to die?" Master1 asked.
"Come on! I was in your group for half a year now, we have an equal chance of death." Matt replied.
"My lady, do you really think they can do it?" King asked in the crowed.
"You trained them well over this half a year, I am sure they can handle themselves." BEE replied.
"I know we trained them and they had become stronger fighters, but they are going against EX, a team a lot stronger than them." King said uncertainly.
"If you doubt them and if you think they will lose, then that is what will happen." BEE said firmly.
"Yeah you're right my lady, they are strong." King finished.
From the opposite gate came the four figures that everyone was afraid of. The four figures that were highly recognised and strong contenders along with King's and Daniel's teams. This was the team that created what seemed to be impossible to create. They were MFL, Mustang, MIHB, and Cyph1e.
"These are our enemies? They seem like a walk over, how did they even make it this far?" MIHB asked.
"Theoretically and Practically they seem to be intimately mislead by their beliefs they are something more than what they potentially are." MFL replied.
"We don't even need to fight them physically, if we crush them mentally then the battle will be finished." Mustang added.
"Considering their moral views are easy to crush and they are merely underdeveloped in thinking, it shouldn't be difficult." MFL finished.
"Matt, let's show what we, the twinrova's learnt." Master1 smiled.
The two of them combined their powers to release a huge blast of fire and ice. The blast was so strong that it left a path of flames and ice on the ground as it passed through the centre of the arena. Mustang lifted his arms and the blast disappeared just as it was going to hit them.
"How did they? A mirror shield? But how?" Master1 wondered.
The enemy team did not move or attack.
"Honey, send let's send out some flaming arrows!" Master1 shouted.
Honey charged her bow, as Master1 created a fire sphere, Honey shot multiple arrows through it which traveled at incredible speed. However, it was no use as Mustang deflected those as well. It did not seem like Mustang had a shield so it couldn't have been a mirror shield, but how was he deflecting their attacks.
"Your minds have been utterly confused and mistaken over the past couple of months." MFL said loudly across the field.
"You have grown around strong teams thinking you are equally as strong. You were mislead by your own thoughts which is why you cannot win this battle." MIHB added.
"What are they on about?" GKAbyss asked.
"I don't care! GKA send a tidal wave at them. Make them drown in your waters!" Master1 shouted.
GKAbyss created a tsunami which headed straight for the enemy. No use, Mustang deflected it as if it was nothing.
"It iss very rude of you not to lissten to what we have to ssay." Cyph1e hissed.
Cyph1e was carrying snakes on his body and had the figure of a snake himself, it would have been very helpful to know how this was going to help yet Master1's team was in the blind.
"You are weak." MIHB continued. "Be honest with yourselves, what are you trying to achieve? Death by us, or death by your friends?" MIHB continued discouraging them.
This made Master1's team think. They were right, even if they get to finals, they will have to fight against King, or BEE. They can just resign now as there is no point in continuing. They will lose sooner or later either way.
"It's funny." Master1 began.
EX team instantly changed their mood, they became mad that Master1 was not scared.
"You are not the first to tell us we are weak or that we will lose... that we will die." Master1 said.
This was turning out into a great speech about how they have gotten so far even though they were being discouraged by everyone, even their friends underestimated them.
"Yeah Master1 tell them!" Matt shouted.
"Actually that's as far as I've gotten." Master1 said. "Throughout this whole time everyone said we will just die." Master1 finished.
Team EX smiled once again, they succeeded in discouraging their enemy.
"What he means..." Honey stepped in. "Is that no matter how much we are discouraged, no matter how many threats we get, we will get through. As a team." She finished.
Master1 smiled. "Thanks." He said.
"I guess we have to fight after all." MIHB said.
"Their ignorance will be their grave." MFL added.
"Letss kill them." Cyph1e said.
Cyph1e lifted his hands forcing sand to rise into the air. The sand began moving in snake like form around Master1's team limiting their vision and movement. It was as if a sand snake was binding around them, preparing to choke it's prey to death.
Master1 didn't have time to think. "Shield up!" He shouted.
He, GKAbyss, and Matt began creating their tri-shield to attempt to protect themselves. However they miscalculated the fact that they were standing on sand and had no protection below them. Sand under their feet began moving up their legs in a snake like figure, slowly engulfing them. Master1 had to think fast, thankfully he noticed something important, something crucial in order to get out of this situation. He noticed that the sand under the ice created from the twinrova blast was not moving.
"Matt! I want you to freeze the sand!" Master1 shouted.
"But we will freeze as well!" Matt shouted back.
"Do it!" Master1 insisted.
Matt listened and in an instance the sand began freezing. The snake like beams of sand choking them stopped moving from the ice. However the sand climbing up their legs froze as well. By the time Matt did this, the sand had already engulfed Matt, GKAbyss, Honey, and Master1 completely with head as well.
"I am surprised. They actually thought they could do something. I thought they'd give up by now, they got my respect. However now they are dead." MIHB said.
Something wasn't right. A red light came from Master1. Was he heating his body up? It wasn't possible he should have been frozen. He should not have had the courage to melt the ice, he should have been too cold to create any flame.
It wasn't just a little flame, it was as if a bowl was lit up. The whole arena filled up with fire, it was everywhere. MFL noticed Master1's eyes, they were red like the flames.
"I can't keep removing this flame forever." Mustang said.
Even though they had nowhere to go, not much to do, they were still confident. They weren't going to die to a weak enemy such as Master1's team.
Master1's team prepared to such an outburst of flame. GKAbyss was creating a water shield and Matt was enforcing it with ice. The ice was being melted into more water make it easier for GKAbyss to hold up the shield. It was the Tri shield improved and strengthened.
"You have not felt our true power yet." Master1 said with a smile.
"Time to end this." MIHB said.
Mustang's eyes lit up in dark blue fires. As he clenched his hands into fists, the flames in the arena were instantly put out. Not only was the fire put out, but it also left Master1 on the ground, weak from using too much strength.
"Do you not understand yet? You are too weak for this tournament!" MIHB shouted.
"Do you not understand yet?" Master1 replied. "This is not about being strong or weak. This is about light and darkness, our team has more light beside us, you have no chance of winning." Master1 finished.
"If you underestimate our power and our ability of murder, you are wrong." GKAbyss suddenly said.
No one expected such words from GKAbyss.
"I haven't killed yet!" GKAbyss shouted.
GKAbyss sent out another tidal wave of water.
"Pathetic." Mustang said.
Mustang removed this tidal wave just like the last one. However an arrow shot by Honey headed straight for him, he did not expect it allowing it to slice his cheek. Honey missed out on the kill.
"How can you miss?" Matt shouted.
"I couldn't see due to the wave!" Honey defended herself.
"That could have been the deciding arrow!" Master1 shouted.
Mustang's eyes lit up in blue flames from the rage.
"I am done playing. Let's just kill them!" Mustang shouted.
MFL, MIHB, and Mustang grabbed each other's hands and in an instance they disappeared.
"Cyph1e is alone! Kill him!" Master1 shouted.
Honey took out an arrow to prepare to fire it. However, the arrow appeared to be too heavy for no apparent reason. GKAbyss prepared to fire a beam of water, but no water came out. Matt tried to send a beam of ice but was equally unsuccessful.
A dark beam came from the sky, almost hitting the team.
"What is this!?!" Matt shouted.
Master1 had to take some time to think. However, there was no time to think, multiple beams of dark energy came from the sky. One of the beams struck Honey causing her to fly backwards.
'No! Think Master1, think!' Master1 thought. 'Why isn't Cyph1e attacking us with his sand snakes? Why can Mustang, MFL, and MIHB attack whereas Cyph1e can't?' Master1 began planning.
The dark beams were destroying the ground, Master1 had no choice but to guess. No one expected that his guess although seemingly unrealistic would be correct...
"GKAbyss! Make it rain!" Master1 shouted.
"I can't use my abilities!" GKAbyss shouted.
"Do it!" Master1 commanded.
GKAbyss rose in the air calling the rain. The sky filled up with dark clouds and it began raining.
"It worked!" GKAbyss shouted.
"Matt! Lower the temperature!" Master1 shouted.
"Got it!" Matt replied.
Matt lifted his hand, instantly lowering the temperature slowly to 0 degrees and then to negative.
It was a dark illusion, they couldn't attack directly, however, global indirect attacks were still viable. Team EX would have suffered significantly against any Archangel Team. The rain droplets began freezing, turning into glaze. Unfortunately Master1 and his team could not create any shields directly. Master1 only had a couple of seconds to think. Master1 placed his hands on the sand.
"It's about to become a fun ride!" Master1 shouted. "Matt grab Honey, we are escaping this arena!" Master1 finished.
As Matt grabbed honey, he noticed that the sand began heating up. Strong burst of flames came out of the ground, covering their heads. The ground began shaking, it was certainly an earthquake.
However, the ice shards were stopped from falling onto Master1's team. Mustang, MFL, and MIHB were in the air causing the dark from the dark sky. They were shot down by the ice shards and began falling onto the ground. Mustang was doing his best job at removing the ice shards, but suddenly MFL was distanced away from them and became open to the falling ice.
"NO!" MIHB shouted.
No one expected such a turn around, as Mustang, MIHB, and MFL landed onto the ground all the natural attacks had stopped. The ground stopped shaking and it became obvious, Master1's team were victorious.
"We... we did it?" Master1 asked in confusion.
"I think we did." GKAbyss replied.
MIHB and Mustang landed the fall with no trouble, Cyph1e and MFL on the other hand did not make it. Mustang walked up to MFL with tears in his eyes.
"We, we lost to some rookies." MIHB said in depression.
"I won't let you die my friend." Mustang said.
Mustang took MFL's hand into his and in the same instance MFL's soul and mind transferred into Mustang's. They became one.
"Brother's for life." Mustang said with a smile.
"Brother's for life." MFL's voice echoed in Mustang's head.
The battle was over, it took a couple minutes for the crowd and Anch to stop panicking after the earthquake, however once everyone was settled, Anch announced, "And the winners, Team Brotherhood Group A!"

Prologue (Chapter 19):
Daniel was placed into his first team and was headed to prepare for his first battle.
"Hah! Word of the Devil, I guess we are in the same team!" The same cringe voice said from the sign ups line.
Daniel stayed quiet.
"My name is Forcesniper, this is JaWaPa and Alezz." Forcesniper said in his cringe voice.
"So what's your name?" Alezz asked.
Daniel stayed quiet.
"We should get to know each other better if we are going to be a team." Alezz pleaded for Daniel to speak.
"What's the point of knowing my name if we are going to die sooner or later?" Daniel asked rhetorically.
"Listen... if you don't want to work as a team fine. But you should at least help us out there." JaWaPa pleaded.
Daniel remained quiet.
"Man I hate this kid already." JaWaPa whispered to the other two.
"He is so pessimistic as well, wonder why he said we will die sooner or later anyway?" Alezz whispered.
Week Ten, Segment One.
"Funny how time flies. Felt like we were celebrating Master1's and his group's win a few days ago and now it is your battle today." BEE whispered to King.
The two of them were sitting on the roof looking at the dark sky.
"Guess we will just have to celebrate victory again my lady." King smiled.
"I don't know..." BEE began.
"Listen my lady, we have all the advantages going in our favor. We have Pyromaniac and they have no idea that his fire will burn right through Thwinkt. Then we have more mobility and we know how to stop every single attack Daniel throws at us. On top of that we are also considered the number one team in this whole tournament being able to out think any opponent." King explained.
"You sure you can..." BEE wanted to speak again.
"Remember what you've told me my lady, if you doubt us and if you think we will lose, then that is what will happen." King said.
"Alright King, just promise me. I want you to give me your word that you will come out victorious today." BEE pleaded.
"You have my word my lady." King smiled.
"Oh and one more thing, you can just call me BEE. I am sure we've become close enough for you to do so." BEE smiled back.
"As you say... BEE." King said.

The two main gates opened and a cold breeze filled up the arena. The crowd was going mental as always and the drummers began playing. This was the main battle of the whole tournament and had the most hype in comparison to any other battle. The seats filled up very fast and a lot of people were not allowed inside as there was no space so many had to view the battle from telescreens outside. Everyone wanted to have a look at the heated battle between number one and number two seeds of the tournament. The winner of this match could have potentially had a walk over all the other teams. This was pretty much the deciding battle that had everyone guessing and wondering; who would be victorious?
King, Prune, Jaba, and Pyromaniac entered the arena. All four ready and prepared for any tricks about to be thrown at them. On the other side only Thwinkt came out.
"Are they seriously underestimating us just like the underestimated SmittyW's team?" Jaba asked.
"They don't know that we know Thwinkt's weakness. This battle is over already. Finish it Pyro." King said.
Pyromaniac plugged a tube into his hand. He had canisters with liquid attached to the tube. The liquid was black representing fuel. This was going to enhance his every attack.
"Here we go!" Pyromaniac shouted.
He moved his hand towards Thwinkt and a flamethrower like blast came out travelling very far and at a very high speed. The flamethrower was powerful and it was meant to completely disintegrate Thwinkt.
"That's enough." King said.
Pyromaniac clenched his hand into a fist, stopping the flamethrower. As the smoke cleared it became visible that Daniel had his sword in front of Thwinkt protecting him from the fire. He was deflecting... no... he was absorbing the power from the fire making him and his horse stronger.
"This doesn't make sense..." Prune began.
"They knew. They knew all along that Thwinkt is weak to fire. I guess we aren't ten steps ahead of them." King informed.
"We have to separate Daniel from Thwinkt." Jaba stated.
Daniel swung his sword and let out a massive shock wave which headed straight at King and his group.
'We are prepared.' King thought.
King lifted his hands modifying the air resistance, frequency and direction of wind in the path of the shock wave. Jaba created a massive line of acid in the air which equaled the size of the enemy shock wave. Pyromaniac enhanced the acid line with fire after which King blasted the created substance towards Daniel's team and an even stronger shock wave. As the two shock waves collided, a very bright light occurred. King's and his team's shock wave out matched Daniel's and continued heading straight for Daniel. Daniel reacted fast by shielding Thwinkt with his sword from the incoming flaming shock wave.
Daniel was **** off at what happened. This was the first team to have exceeded him in strength. However it took three people alone to match the one of him. Daniel lit up in dark green light, preparing his second attack.
"Get ready!" King shouted.
Daniel smashed the ground making the top layer of the ground bounce up from the rest of the ground, the ground began cracking, a quake began heading with incredible speed straight at King and his group. King modified the resistances and frequencies once again. Prune lifted his club in the air and smashed the ground as hard as he could. King modified the air resistance to benefit this strike making it even stronger. Jaba created acidic liquid on the ground, Pyromaniac lit the liquid on fire creating a blast enhancing Prune's strike.
The team created their own quake which headed at Daniel with an even stronger speed and strength. As the two quakes collided, the quake created by King and his team out matched Daniel's and continued heading for Daniel and Thwinkt after the collision. King and his team have proved why they were the number one seed of the whole tournament. Just like the shock wave, the quake did not damage Daniel not Thwinkt. However the quake achieved what it was supposed to. It separated Daniel from Thwinkt.
"Now!" King shouted.
Jaba sent out liquid towards Thwinkt, however he just sliced through it... it was not meant to damage him. King modified the air once again to benefit Pyromaniac. Prune Smashed his club on the shield that was located on Pyromaniac's back. Pyromaniac created a jet pack with his fire and the collision of Prune's club created an explosion and Pyromaniac was thrust forwards. The reduced air friction by King and ground friction by Jaba made Pyromaniac travel at incredible speed towards Thwinkt.
It seemed to be over. Thwinkt had no where to go, no where to run, no way to defend himself. Thwinkt was completely separated from Daniel, it should have been over... should have been. Pyromaniac had reached Thwinkt in only a few seconds and the flames engulfed Thwinkt, his only weakness was destroying him, melting him, burning his cells which had no way to regenerate. He was being disintegrated. That is what Pyromaniac thought was happening, this was not the case. As the smoke cleared, Pyromaniac realised that his fire did nothing. Thwinkt stood there with a smile on his face.
'Didn't expect this did you?' Thwinkt's eyes told Pyromaniac.
Out of the main gate came out Daniel's third team mate. Doh. Doh controlled the field all along creating an invulnerable shield for Thwinkt. Doh's programming came was useful after all to team element. The perfect team. King and his team slowly began to realise, Daniel's team did not have any weaknesses. They could not have been overpowered. How could you defeat an invulnerable, invincible enemy? It made no sense. Thwinkt turned towards Pyromaniac, a melee combat was about to occur. If this was to happen King's team was bound to lose.
"Pyromaniac! Create the inferno field! This is the only way! Doh cannot shield such power!" King shouted from across the field.
The whole arena filled up with fire, it was everywhere. A huge outburst of flames lit up the bowl that the arena was in flames, flames that engulfed everything. This was the attack Pyromaniac taught to Master1, this was the attack Master1 used against MFL's team. However, Pyromaniac was much more practiced with this attack making it much more organised. He focused most of the pressure against Daniel's team with absolutely no flames around his own team. This created complete safety for King, Jaba, and Prune. On the other hand it was erasing Daniel's team with the strong power.
It wasn't working, what was wrong? King realised, it was the sky. None of their attacks, not direct or indirect, not even global attacks worked. Since the sky was in eternal darkness, it created the perfect environment for Doh, it gave almost no struggle to keep up any of his shields and it enhanced his programming in order to benefit his team. The perfect team, it had no weaknesses, it was impossible to fight them. What was more fascinating was that King and his team already through out all their cards and tricks out whereas Daniel's team has not even tried to attack other than the time when Daniel sent out the shock wave and the quake. But that wasn't much, two attacks did not mean anything. King began to realise, Daniel was ten steps ahead of him!
"King, I know this is a crazy idea, but listen. We should give in to darkness." Jaba pleaded.
"Are you crazy? We will lose all control!" King refused.
"We have no control! Look at this situation! We have no other choice!" Jaba yelled back.
"We will lose all the ability to communicate and..." King wanted to argue.
"Listen, it's over if we don't. Remember the battle against Helvi's team? We dominated against them thanks to darkness. On top of that, the eternal darkness will enhance our attacks. If we give in to the darkness, we will break through Doh's shields." Jaba pleaded.
A tear ran down King's face.
"I am sorry... BEE..." King whispered.
Darkness overwhelmed the minds of King, Jaba, Prune, and Pyromaniac. Their minds filled up with thoughts of hate and evil. They were stronger than ever, the were about to wreck havoc. Pyromaniac's blazing fire began burning the field even stronger, it was disintegrating the walls now. It was destroying everything. The fire darkened and blasted all the way to the sky. The crowd began evacuating. This power was so strong, it seemed to be over, King's team had won?
Through the fire, another figure came out of the main gate. It was Boh. But why was she here? The fire was going to kill her! She walked right through the fire, slowly and patiently she made it into the arena. The fire was not damaging her... but how?
"This battle is interesting." She said.
She smiled and at that moment the fire got put out as if it never existed, as if it never rampaged in the first place. King, Jaba, Prune, and Pyromaniac fell onto their knees. The crowd began sitting back down onto their seats to see how the battle was going to finish. Everyone was spectating, all of the friends that came to see King's and his team's battle.
'What is going on?' BEE thought.
BEE noticed their eyes. King, Jaba, Prune, and Pyromaniac's eyes were... dark. They were not moving, they were not speaking, they were not fighting. BEE noticed that Daniel's and Boh's eyes were just as dark and they stood just as still as the other four. What was happening. Thwinkt and Doh began walking out of the arena. Where were they going? What in the world was happening?
Then, the most horrible thing that could have happened... happened. The darkness in the eyes went out, Boh and Daniel looked at the other four. King, Jaba, Prune, and Pyromaniac fell down lifeless. What had happened?
"And the winners..." Anch began announcing.
Tears began running down BEE's cheeks. The life metre was showing that King, Jaba, Prune, and Pyromaniac were no longer alive.
Boh sighed, "They wanted to die to darkness, they begged for it and that is what they got." She said slowly.
Daniel turned around and began walking out of the gate.
"How!?! How could this happen!?!" BEE shouted in anger and desperation.
Master1, Frogman, and GKAbyss ran up to BEE to calm her down. The rest of the group stayed in their places, shocked with the results of the match.
'You will understand soon.' Boh thought as she turned around and began walking towards the exit in the main gate.

Prologue (Chapter 20):
It wasn't long until Daniel and his team had their first battle. As they entered the arena, the crowd was shouting with excitement. This was the first time the crowd would see a 10 year old kid fight to death at the arena. Alezz held a sword and a shield, Forcesniper held a bow with arrows, JaWaPa carried a halberd. Simple weapons with only Daniel carrying his dark long sword which glowed with dark power.
As the mini gate opened, a lion jumped out.
"Attack!" JaWaPa shouted.
The three ran at the lion, preparing to surround it and kill it before it could do any damage. Only Daniel stayed back, he was not keen on helping. Forcesniper stopped first and began firing arrows at the beast. JaWaPa ran up to it the closest and began pushing it back with his halberd. During this time, Alezz walked around the beast and ran to it from the back. The beast was beheaded and a main gate on the opposite side began opening.
"You see the person up there?" Alezz began talking with Daniel. "His name is Arceus, he is the 'Lead One.' He is in charge of maintaining the arena. So he is pretty much the boss here." Alezz explained.
Daniel remained silent.
"Listen, our opponents are about to get into our side of the arena, can you please help us?" Alezz begged.
Daniel did not say a word. Alezz saw that four opponents ran in with swords, axes, and spears so Alezz decided to abandon Daniel to help his team. The two teams clashed with each other, swinging swords and blocking attacks with shields. Daniel looked at his sword and smiled. With one swing, he sent out a massive shock wave towards the two teams, instantly disintegrating anyone hit by it. The battle was over with 7 deaths, the crowd and Arceus looked at Daniel in shock. Something was about to go down.
Week Ten, Segment Two.
"You lied to me! You said... no. You PROMISED me they would win!" BEE yelled in rage and depression.
"I had no way of predicting the outcome of the battle. I am sorry for the loss." Banana Venom tried to explain.
BEE began chewing on her nails.
"This, this is not right! BuzzerBee predicted that King would win! Why did he lose!" BEE began shouting again.
"Well theoretically he won." Banana Venom began explaining.
"Oh please give me insight on your crooked meaning of victory!" BEE continued yelling.
"We learnt a lot of useful information from that battle. King and his team created the opportunity for you to win when you fight him next." Banana Venom explained.
"We learnt that we can't win is all." BEE said softly. "We learnt that we can't out power them, we can't out think them. We learn that there is no way for us to win." BEE finished, surprisingly in a soft voice. She did not yell a single time throughout that sentence.
"Well if Spiderman was here right now, you could have won through luck." Banana Venom tried to cheer BEE.
"Spiderman is not here is he? You know what? You make me sick!" BEE shouted as she ran out of the house.
"I will try and calm her down." Master1 said as he ran after BEE.
'Why do you make is sound like it's my fault?' Banana Venom thought to herself.
BEE had made it onto the roof and was sitting there in silence, looking at the dark sky with no stars. The same spot she sat on earlier today with King. She began getting memories of all the times she had with King, all those years that she spent with him. He was her closest friend and the realisation of him no longer being with her made her fall deeper and deeper into depression. She hadn't felt so sorrow since the death of BuzzerBee. However, BuzzerBee died a honorable death whereas King fell to the hand of darkness. What was that even? Everyone's eyes went dark with Daniel and Boh recovering whereas the other four just... died. What could have possibly happened? Even Pyromaniac was blazing with flames until... he just stopped. Whatever it was, it was powerful.
"May I join you, my lady?" Master1 asked.
"I want to be alone, what do you want?" BEE asked arrogantly.
Master1 walked up to her and sat down next to her.
"This is the second prediction which BuzzerBee made that failed." Master1 began.
"Is this all you wanted to say?" BEE asked.
"BuzzerBee has saved you from many sticky situations, I wish I had him by my side when my parents were killed in front of my eyes." Master1 began telling the story.
BEE went silent and began listening to what Master1 had to say.
"I was just a little kid, 9 or 10 years old. It was a beautiful sunny day and everything seemed to be just perfect. My parents and I were going to watch a battle at the arena. We were going to be part of a huge crowd, enjoying our time. It was going to be perfect." Master1 said.
"You were so young, what happened?" BEE asked carefully.
Master1 looked at BEE with tears in his eyes and continued telling the story.
"We must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, nothing foretold such and event. A little kid around my age ran up to my father and stole our gold that we were taking to buy tickets with. My father was stronger and faster than this little kid so he began chasing after him. They only ran a couple of metres when my father caught the kid by his collar. My father never meant no harm, he just wanted the gold back. However, the kid was not keen on giving the gold back." Master1 said.
"What... happened...?" BEE asked again carefully.
"The kid had a knife on him, with one quick movement of his hand he sliced my father's throat. It was too quick, no one could have done anything. My mother began screaming. Her screaming was bringing unwanted attention so the kid threw the knife at her throat as well. My mother stopped screaming as blood began pouring out of her mouth. The kid got away. I was too young to understand what happened so I knelt in front of my mother begging for her to wake up. She never did." Master1 explained.
"I... I am sorry." BEE said softly.
"I was shortly taken by another family. I got used to them really fast as I was just a kid. It wasn't long before I started calling them 'mum' and 'dad'. Then, a couple years later my family took Honey in. We never really found out where she came from, someone dropped her off in front of our door, knocked on the door and ran away. I never really told Honey the full story, she still thinks that the family were my parents from birth." Master1 looked down.
"Listen..." BEE wanted to say.
"My lady, the morale of this story is that I lost close people as well. It is not about what happened in the past or who we lost, we need to gather our strength for what is going to come. Daniel has to pay for what he did and we cannot fight him if we mentally break down like this. My lady, we need you! Only you can motivate us! We cannot do this without you!" Master1 explained.
BEE looked up at Master1 and smiled. "We will do this for King, he never died. He is still with us in our hearts."
The two of them stood up and headed back into Master1's hideout.
"Listen up people, we have a Daniel to kill, who has any ideas on what actions we should take next from all the information we have on his team?" BEE asked.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. BEE was back in action. Everyone began discussing theories and tactics on taking down Daniel's team. Then a knock was heard on the door.
"I'll open it." BEE said.
As she opened the door, she was surprised to see a familiar face standing there.
"Daniel is still alive. I am willing to help you." Spiderman said.

Prologue (Chapter 21):
"Ready the archers!" Arceus shouted.
After seeing what Daniel did, everyone took him for a demon sent from hell. He had to be exterminated. The archers readied their bows and fired. As the hail of arrows approached Daniel, he did not seem to budge. The arrows collided with Daniel. Blood began pouring down from him, he managed to protect his head and face from arrows but the rest of his body was wounded. He smiled, a bone chilling rush went through Arceus' body. Daniel did not care, he had experienced pain much worse than this. As he began pulling out the arrows from his body, the archers shot another round of arrows. After showing off his resistance, it was time to show off his power. The aura around Daniel turned dark red as he sent waves of flames towards the archers. The fire burnt the archers and the arrows to crisp. Daniel continued taking out the arrows already in his body.
After witnessing so much unrealistic power, Arceus cried "What do you want!?!"
Daniel looked up at him and gave another smile.
"I am here to take your strength." Daniel said.
After all the drama, a treaty was signed between Daniel and Arceus. Daniel was allowed to participate in the arena as long as he did not use overpowered attacks such as shock waves, quakes, flames, etc. He had to battle in melee combat like all the other contestants. Daniel was fine with these terms, he perfected his melee skills and his sword could have broken any shield. Thus Daniel continued fighting at the arena, this time without any team. He was fighting in 4 v 1 battles, and kept coming out victorious.
Week Eleven, Segment One.
As the crowd gathered for yet another tournament battle, Honey and BEE made it as well. Everyone else stayed back, however Honey did not want to miss this battle. Today was a clash between Benje, EEDD, and two sub members against Atilla, Meredith, Express, and Abrar. Only one team was going to come out victorious and there was a high chance that anyone would die.
As the two main gates opened, Benje's team made it into the arena, ready for battle. Their two new subs that were replacing Addi and Zero consisted of Orangecrix and Skullz. Something about those two was familiar, very familiar. They seemed almost identical to Addi and Zero. Orangecrix had soft winds circling around him reminding him of Addi's wind power whereas Skullz carried two skulls in his hand which glowed with purple energy. It was interesting to see that Benje chose them so the team wouldn't need to learn new tactics. They just needed to adjust the two new members to their original tactics. From the second main gate, no one came out.
The crowd began whispering to each other in anticipation of something spectacular to happen, however nothing did. The gate remained empty. Anch checked the life metres to find out that no one was in stealth or hiding. Atilla's team literally didn't show up. Confusion broke down between everyone, no one knew what was going on. Anch had nothing else to do but to suspect that Atilla's team had forfeited the match.
"And the winners..." Anch began announcing.
'Something isn't right!' Honey thought to herself as she ran out of the arena.
"Honey wait! Where are you going?" BEE shouted as Honey began leaving.
However, Honey did not say anything as she made it out of the doors.
Honey didn't know where to search for Atilla's team, however she didn't have to. Atilla's team found her first. The first alleyway she took she bumped into Atilla and Meredith.
"You are going to miss out on your battle! You need to go to the arena now!" Honey shouted.
"Our battle? You must be wrong, our battle is finished." Atilla said softly.
"No it's a tournament system, you fight again right now!" Honey tried to get through to them.
"I understand your concern, however out battle against Linus is over. Benje and his team are your battle, not ours." Meredith explained.
Honey stood there for a couple of seconds in silence.
"It's either Boh or BEE isn't it?" Honey said after sometime.
"Excuse me?" Atilla replied in an instance.
"I know they are responsible for most of big events that occur. In fact, BEE went missing days before your battle with Linus and came back after your battle was over. I know it was her that influenced you to forfeit this battle!" Honey demanded answers.
Atilla smiled. "Then why don't you ask her yourself?" He asked.
Honey looked around to see BEE standing there, looking at her.
"Why?" Honey softly asked.
"I would do the same to stop Cow's team from fighting you if I could. As Atilla and Meredith explained, Benje is your battle not theirs. We had an agreement that if I would help them win against Linus and his team, they would forfeit from fighting Benje's." BEE explained.
"That is unreasonable!" Honey shouted.
"Think about it, even if you an Benje will continue winning battles, sooner or later you will have to fight each other. What will you do then? Will you forfeit or will you be willing to kill your own brother. You brother to whom you promised to work together?" BEE asked.
Honey had not considered this outcome till this point. However it did surprise her that BEE knew she met up with Benje earlier this year.
"You are so innocent." BEE said.
"Excuse me?" Honey shouted.
"I had to go through fires of hell and through darkness of the over world to get to where I am standing now. What about you? You have no idea what it's like to be hanged or beaten, to face death itself. You haven't gone through same experiences as I have. I want you to think about what your goals are, because as it stands, you are too weak to continue fighting in this tournament." BEE finished.
As BEE, Atilla, and Meredith walked away, Honey was left to think about what she would do when she actually met up against Benje at the tournament.

In the depths of the jungle, Daniel and Boh resided. A deep conversation broke down between them.
"Last week, do you think we gave out too much information?" Boh carefully asked.
"I don't think we've given them enough." Daniel said with no emotion.
Boh though for a bit before asking her next set of questions.
"All this effort to make BEE understand, is she even worth it? Should we not just give up on her and kill everyone to get this over and done with?" Boh argued.
Daniel remained silent.
Boh saw no reaction from Daniel so she looked down in deep though. Daniel noticed that this whole situation was bothering Boh.
"I know that you are getting wrong impressions but you should know by now what our goal is and how useful BEE would be to us in achieving this goal. You need to stand your ground or you might end up with a sword in your heart." Daniel finished.
Boh could not remember the last time Daniel had threatened her if he even ever did. However she knew she was too useful for him to just end her. She knew where she stood but it made her feel alone knowing that Daniel ignored her emotions. If only Daniel knew how she really felt.

Prologue (Chapter 22):
Daniel was now secure to battle in the arena. Everything was fine for him, Boh on the other hand had a lot more trouble. Although Boh was older than Daniel, she did not have the strength yet to participate at the arena. She was in her early teen years and could not hold a shield nor a sword. The arena was a sport for males, however female warriors were not only welcome, but also encouraged to participate. This was Boh's dream, to be the strongest fighter and create her own team. She had already planned that her team would be named Archangels and that this team would dominate the other two.
Years had passed since the day Daniel left to battle at the arena. Boh heard news that Daniel created his own one man team named team Element. He was the only person in the whole team and did not allow anyone into it. Daniel was now roughly 16 years old and Boh had recently hit her 20. Boh was ready to enter the arena, however one day the arena system changed completely. Boh had met a chemist who found a new method, a new way to create chemicals or drugs which enhanced the person's strength, mobility, and more. This chemist's name was KillingPepper.
Together, they created a substance which modified the DNA of the person which injected it. The person was mutated, and modified in a way to enhance his strength. Boh had kidnapped a child and brought him to KillingPepper to test the drug. As KillingPepper injected the drug into the kid's vein, the kid began screaming in pain and suffering. The kid's muscles grew large, the kid had become a hulk figure, throwing KillingPepper against a wall and smashing his head in. Boh didn't have much time to react so she injected another drug into her own vein.
Boh's transformation was not painful unlike the kid's. Her eyes began shifting colours, creating rainbow coloured eyes after a few seconds. She began breathing fast as the sight of destruction and revelation skimmed past her eyed. She saw her childhood and all the people she and Daniel had killed. She saw a whole life time pass by her eyes in a matter of seconds. By this time, the kid turned around and charged at her. She focused here eyes and in the next moment, the colour in the kid's eyes began changing, blinding him. It made it too easy to slice his throat and that was what Boh did. At this moment, only she knew the recipe to the drug. However, the drug was soon to be known worldwide.
Week Eleven, Segment Two.
In order to keep the crowd happy, Anch had nothing to do but to announce another date this week for another battle. This way the crowd would get to see a battle after all and won't complain due to a forfeit from Atilla's team. This battle was today, a clash between Master1's team and Cow's team. Master1 and his group only had 3 days to adjust to this sudden change in time, however they were confident they were ready. Team EX was a much more threatening team than Cow's. However, Cow had two new members which were not shown yet and Master1 had no idea what to expect. Cow and MegaLamb were threatening opponents already, what else could the have stored to win the match?
Honey seemed to be in deep thought over the past 3 days and has not spoken to BEE over this time. Master1 understood that something was on her mind. However after talking with her, he was confident she would be ready for this upcoming battle against Cow's team. He found out that it was a different battle that was bothering her. Either way, they had no time to discuss the issue in detail and Honey seemed ready for the battle as they entered the arena.
The crowd began cheering for both teams, still with the memories of the slaughter between Nou's and Cow's teams and the unbelievable underdog comeback for Master1's team against team EX. No one expected either of these teams to get far but now they are both here ready to battle.
"I don't see them." Master1 whispered.
"The lights are on, did they not show up?" Matt asked.
There was no sign of life on the field. Honey began thinking that BEE prevented Cow's team from fighting either. The crowd began raging. Two battles in a row where a team has forfeited by not showing up. Anch looked at the life metre, there were 8 figures on the field.
It became clear what was happening, Cow's team and team Z were perfectionists and stealth. They were getting in position to attack Master1's team from every direction, leaving them helpless. One strike, one kill. Even if one member could react, Cow's team would still be able to come out with at least one kill. The rage of the crowd was helping to distract Master1's team. It was over before Cow's team would have even been seen.
"The water flows through the ground..." GKAbyss began telling a lecture. "It helps the plants grow and serves us as a shield." He continued explaining.
"GKA is something wrong?" Master1 asked carefully.
"The water flows and tells us how misfortune travels through the ground." GKAbyss continued explaining.
"Matt prepare a shield!" Master1 shouted.
"It silences those that use it against our will." GKAbyss finished.
MegaLamb drilled through the ground and leaped onto GKAbyss. In the same instance Cow pounced onto Master1. The two new beasts showed up from the shadows. Their names well known as LickaGoat and DarkOneMeow. Honey reacted the quickest, shooting two arrows into LickaGoat's and DarkOneMeow's shoulders. Cow had already mounted Master1, but Honey shot Cow, aiming for his heart. Cow caught the arrow, snapped it in half, and Moo'ed in anger. GKAbyss began blasting MegaLamb away, and Matt shot ice spikes at Cow forcing him to back away as well. Once the four were safe from close engagements, they created a bubble shield around themselves with their ice, fire, and water method.
Cow saw their last battle against team EX and learnt from this experience that they have no protection beneath them.
"Moo." Cow hinted at MegaLamb.
MegaLamb did not take time to think, quickly drilling his way under the ground to get into the bubble. This tactic was too dangerous as MegaLamb was going to be left in a 1 v 4 in a territory which harms his skills. However he was well known for innovation in hunting and moved in the sand like a snake on the surface hunting a mouse. His task was simple, stick blades out of the sand and move them in such a manner that they would cut the legs of opponents, making it impossible for the to hold up the shield so that Cow and the other two could finish them off.
The tactic not only didn't work, but it also back fired onto MegaLamb. Master1's team learnt from the battle against team EX as well and learnt to create their shield below their feet as well. Now this was very controversial as the fire created by Master1 burnt the team's legs, the ice created by Matt froze their feet and the water created by GKAbyss hindered their movement. It was an unrealistic tactic which would not work under normal circumstances. But that also depends on the time of footwear the team had. The team wore tough leather and since each element did not stay for more than a second such as fire was put out by water the second after it melted the ice, this type of footwear protected their feet and created a strong shield below their feet.
MegaLamb's plan had failed and it was time for him to get out. But then something strange happened, the water started consuming the sand and eroding it below the shield. After a few seconds, MegaLamb was in a pool of water, drowning in need for air. He tried to swim away but the outer edge of the water was frozen by Matt. MegaLamb found himself in a cube of water with no way out. He was being drowned to death and any scratched he would make on the ice were instantly frozen back solid.
"Cow, you promised Nou that you will win in his name. However, you should have backed off when you had the chance." Master1 shouted.
Cow's eyes lit up in anger, it was not over yet. The battle only just begun. Honey began shooting arrows, the Master1, Matt and GKAbyss created small opening in the shield for the arrows to pass after which they closed them back up. Cow was not going to have any of it so he quickly pounced away. Then out of nowhere, completely random but precisely DarkOneMeow sliced the shield with his claw. You would think it would do nothing, however this time was different. The scratch created darkness and void began taking over the shield, the team quickly realised that DarkOneMeow was not just any challenger, he was a figure that embraced the darkness. This made his attacks more than twice as strong, he was a dangerous beast.
"DarkOneMeow is controlled by darkness! Remember from the experience with King, he might be stronger but he cannot communicate in this form!" Master1 shouted.
"We have to separate him and kill him while he will be on his own!" Honey added.
"Guys, we have to worry about this first..." Matt interrupted.
The void erased the water which trapped MegaLamb. The missing sand that made 90 degrees angle filled up the whole making 45 degrees angles, MegaLamb escaped quickly. On the other hand, Master1's team were still trapped in the ball of void unable to make any moves. Hovering slightly above the ground made them slightly disorientated.
"Moo." Cow exhaled.
Everyone kept underestimating him, Nou's team thought they had the victory and Master1's team made the same mistake. Cow began slowly walking up to the ball of darkness. He was heading straight for Master1, he was going to slice his throat just like he did with Nou. A honorable death for yet another opponent. But then something went wrong. Darkness must have taken the most out of DarkOneMeow, his hunting instincts kicked in. A roar was heard and Cow turned around to see DarkOneMeow on top of LickaGoat the two were swinging their claws at each other, scratching and slicing each other creating wounds.
MegaLamb pounced onto DarkOneMeow restricting him from doing anymore damage on LickaGoat. But at this moment LickaGoat's instincts kicked in as well as he pounced back onto MegaLamb and DarkOneMeow. The three fell into a battle between each other. Everything was going horribly wrong. Cow realised that he had to act fast so he lunged at Master1. However, the dark orb they were in had actually been solidified and only DarkOneMeow could have made one way passable again. Cow looked back at the horror that was happening between his three allies.
The battle came to an end shortly after with MegaLamb having to behead DarkOneMeow and LickaGoat. Such a conclusion was possible considering that Cow's team consisted of beasts that could not control who they hunted.
"And the winners, Team Brotherhood Group A!" Anch announced.
BEE was watching the battle and she noticed that there was another figure involved. A girl in a hood stood on the opposite side of the arena seating. It didn't take long for BEE to realise that this figure was in fact Boh. But why would Boh be so willing to help Master1's team to win? What was her plan? Something was wrong, however BEE could not understand what it was.

Prologue (Chapter 23):
It was now that Boh had the formula to make the drug and now had immense powers herself, all she had to do was enter the arena. However, although she now had powers she could have been mistaken as a witch and probably killed as she did not have the ability to resist the traps Arceus could have made the same way Daniel resisted them. However, this could have been easily fixed if an important person had the same powers. The goal was simple, Boh had to drug the Royal One; Squadfs or BEE in order to be allowed into the arena.
The other option she had was to give the formula to Arceus in order for him to drug the contestants making it indifferent whether Boh was going to participate or not. However, if this was to happen, Boh would be back to square one as she would not have the power to compete against other contestants. Getting to BEE was difficult as she lived in a fancy house surrounded by guards and getting to Squadfs was even harder. Luckily for Boh, Squadfs had a daughter named Banana Venom who was much easier to target as she enjoyed walks in the park and other outside activities.
It wasn't difficult to blind the four guards protecting Banana Venom. Once protection was taken care of, it was even easier to inject the drug into the helpless Banana Venom. However, Boh did not consider the consequences of this action. Banana Venom did not transform into a deadly beast not did she gain super strength or other physical abilities. The drug opened up a brighter side in Banana Venom, Boh had created a bright light, a light that seemed to destroy the darkness within Boh. This was too dangerous so Boh had to act fast trying to kill this bright light. Unfortunately for Boh, Banana Venom had gained a one step advantage thanks to the drug, blinding and leaving Boh on the grass.
Not only did Banana Venom escape, but she also escaped with the ability to know the recipe for the drug. It was odd, she had no ability to know the components of the formula yet the light she held within her created vision for her. She could now read Boh like a book. Either way the job was finished, Boh got away with what she wanted, she had drugged a royal figure. Any consequences that followed were not of Boh's concern. Banana Venom invited BEE one time for tea, she told her about this drug and what had happened the day Boh confronted her. BEE considered the drug to be dangerous and asked Banana Venom to get help, however Banana Venom refused immediately.
That day something strange happened, BEE decided to stay over for the night at Banana Venom's palace and no one expected anything strange to happen but BEE somehow received the power of the drug. The drug wasn't injected into her nor was it involved in any other way. BEE received the power in her sleep. The drug was unpredictable, it was as if it targeted her even if it was not physically involved. The power BEE received was almost identical to the one of Boh. That same day Banana Venom lost the ability to read Boh or her actions. It was as if the drug was injected mentally rather than physically. This was the only case and it never happened again. However, when Boh woke up, she woke up with her eyes in three visible colours; red, blue, and yellow.
Week Twelve, Segment One.
BEE and the rest of the group returned back to Master1's hideout before him and his team. The group awaited for their return to celebrate yet another victory. However, when the team returned it quickly became noticeable that they were not going to celebrate. They seemed depressed, in an almost defeated state.
"What's wrong?" Frogman asked quickly.
"Darkness, it is seriously terrifying." Matt replied.
"Our team composition, it thrives on it's defensive capability. If darkness can break through our strongest defense then our team has no chance." Master1 added.
"Is there anything we don't know?" BEE asked quickly.
Master1 looked at her slowly. "The dark sphere we were in... it was cold. It was a different type of cold, the type of dark situation where even Matt was freezing to death." He said.
"Are you alright?" Spiderman asked slowly.
"Master1 tried to create a fire in the sphere to warm us up, however it was no use." Honey added.
The team looked highly demotivated. They were not victorious, if DarkOneMeow wouldn't have lost his senses, the group would have lost the match.
Everyone went on to do their daily tasks in silence, GKAbyss went to look after Hockey whereas the rest of the group began doing activities such as reading the newspaper. Everyone was silent for a fairly long time until BEE walked up to talk with Honey.
"How are you doing?" BEE asked.
"Scared, my lady." Honey answered in an almost whimpering voice.
"I know we didn't get along lately, just know that I am not against you. I just wanted to open your eyes." BEE continued.
"I understand my lady." Honey answered.
"Well have you talked with your brother?" BEE asked.
"I never got the chance, I had to worry about today's battle that we had." Honey answered slowly.
"Then what are you doing here? You are in semi finals against him, you have to talk with him now!" BEE replied.
Honey looked down, still with fear in her eyes.
"Alright, you can talk with him tomorrow, get some rest now." BEE finished.

The next day Honey headed to Benje's basement to discuss the semi finals.
"Hello sis, do you need something?" Benje asked as if forgetting about his next battle against her.
"Benje, we have a few weeks at most until our next battle, we need to decide on our next course of actions." Honey pleaded.
"What is it that you're offering?" Benje asked.
"We have a few options. The first options is the worst, we fight each other and we kill each other. The second option is one of us forfeits the battle so the other group moves on. The third option, you quit your team and join ours." Honey explained.
"Why don't you join our team?" Benje asked.
"You see, if I leave my team, they will just find a substitute member. They will fight with or without me. I know them for a long time especially Master1 who I know since you left me in front of their door. I cannot betray my team and I cannot let them die." Honey explained.
"I am not different, I am not leaving my team nor are we going to forfeit." Benje said.
"But then it leaves us to the last option..." Honey cried.
"If we have to fight then so be it. My team trusts me and I am not going to betray them." Benje finished.
Tears began running down Honey's cheeks.
"You promised me! You promised we would fight together, not against one another!" Honey yelled.
"May the stronger one of us win." Benje said with no emotion.
"How can you be so ignorant!?! Please!" Honey yelled.
"Our discussion is over. Will you please leave these premises?" Benje did not care.
"Fine! Then so be it!" Honey finished.

Prologue (Chapter 24):
Months had passed since Boh succeeded modifying BEE and Banana Venom through the drug. However this was not enough. Banana Venom knowing that she shouldn't get much attention managed to hide her new abilities although people have started to notice a bright presence in her. BEE on the other hand could not have hid her eyes from the society. Newspapers began coming out on the issue, many interviews had been made. People began tying the issue to Daniel. However Boh still had to wonder how BEE managed to get affected by the drug. There was still no solution other than KillingPepper not telling the full story and effects of the drug.
An article in the newspaper was published getting Arceus' opinion on the issue. Arceus clearly stated that they will test people on any unfair abilities and will not allow them to participate at the arena. This was the opposite of what Boh wanted, this guaranteed that she was not going to be allowed at the arena. Arceus also stated that Daniel's participation was limited as well however due to a contract they could not have banned him completely. Boh had to act, her next victim was Arceus, the 'Lead One' himself. Getting to Arceus was not as easy. She didn't have the 'assassination' aspect on him as she had on Banana Venom, she could not have injected the drug into him while he was in a park as Arceus did not take walks in the park in the first place.
Boh decided to do some more tests, BEE received the effects without the injection of the drug so there had to be another way. Boh had the knowledge that there could have been hugging between BEE and Banana Venom when they greeted each other so Boh kidnapped another kid and tried to rub the drug on his skin. This had no effects. Boh kept the kid tied up for a week, letting him out and feeding him twice a day to see if any effects had taken place. Unfortunately nothing was happening so Boh ended the kid's life. She could have made other tests on him but then she would have lost place with which method would actually work, she could have also let him go but he knew and saw too much.
Due to the high criminal rate and the corrupt defendants, parents usually don't allow their children out on the streets by themselves. It wasn't difficult to kidnap the parents of the kid as well. The drug was injected into the food and given to the mother of the kid, she refused to eat it at first but gave up due to Boh threatening the life of her kid. This was well before she killed the kid as Boh tried the three different methods on these three different people at the same time. The father was separated and forced to be exposed to the smell of the drug. Boh was not going to give up until she would have found what the cause was for BEE being affected by the drug.
Week Twelve, Segment Two.
Team Element Group D also known as team Z, what was their secret? If they were accepted into Team Element, they must have had some involvement with Daniel. Why did they sacrifice Zakleo? Who is taking his place as the new fourth member? There are too many questions all of which would be answered today in the battle between BEE's team and team Z. Still, BEE felt the discomfort of coming into the battle in the dark, not knowing anything about the opponents whereas it was complete opposite the other way around, team Z knew everything about them. Such knowledge gives huge advantage to team Z, it was going to be a tough battle.
As both of the main gates opened, BEE, Spiderman, Ant, and Frogman stepped into the arena. Awaiting for the entrance of the enemy team, they were shocked to see who came out of the gates. The crowd instantly went from cheering to gossiping about what they were seeing. Everyone was in shock, BEE looked stunned, it was something no one expected.
"This can't be..." Benje whispered from the crowd.
Out of the gate came out the fourth member of team Z and everyone instantly realised why Zakleo was sacrificed. The fourth member... it was Zero.
Zoey and Zacoidy were all healed up from the previous battle even though some wounds still left scars. They saw a weakness in BEE's team now that they were distracted, there was no better time to strike from the shadows. Zacoist and Zoidy attacked first, however Spiderman had already flipped the coin. Heads. The swords in Zacoidy's hands became heavy, they lost any balance and thoughts they had and fell on the ground in front of the team. Unfortunately for Zacoist, he landed right in front of Ant who was already swinging his massive scimitar.
Zero smiled and in the next second he was already in front of Zacoist in a clash with Ant. Zero's weapon of choice seemed to be a katana, a weapon he did not originally have when he was on Benje's team. However, this katana was different from any other, around it dark red energy spiraled, most likely enhancing the katana. A dark weapon held in a dark hand. What had happened to Zero? In a quick swing, Zero cut Ant's scimitar in half. BEE quickly realised that this power, the energy behind Zero was identical to Daniel's. Zacoidy picked themselves up from the ground and charged at BEE.
BEE lifted her hands, instantly blinding the two, messing up the colours in their eyes. Frogman took this as an advantage and pounced onto them, however almost out of nowhere, Zoey appeared in front of Frogman. In her hands were two knives, those that assassins liked to take with them. Although she had already swung at Frogman, although he had a fragile body, he was still very evasive. All Zoey managed to do was cut his shoulder. Zero smiled once again.
"We forfeit!" He shouted.
"What!?!" BEE shouted in response.
However, Zero already picked up Zacoidy and pounced away, Zoey followed with no hesitation.
"You cannot just surrender! Fight us you coward!" BEE shouted.
"There is no point, your team is clearly leagues ahead of ours." Zero smiled.
"That is no excuse to surrender!" BEE exclaimed.
"Ohh you still don't get it do you?" Zero shouted in response.
"What are you talking about!?!" BEE shouted in reply.
"The tournament, it was over from the beginning. Don't worry you will understand when you fight Daniel's team." Zero replied in an instance.
BEE was left with nothing but to wonder, what was Team Element planning? What was Daniel planning?
"The rules clearly state that the battle will not be over unless a death occurs." Anch shouted in response.
Zero turned around and sliced the throats of Zacoidy.
"I said, the battle is over!" Zero shouted.
Zoey stood there in complete fear, she was left alive.
Zero turned around and faced Zoey "Learning is so much fun!" He said.

Prologue (Chapter 25):
After the tests Boh made on the parents of the kid, she noticed that some effects had taken place in the mother of the kid after she was fed with the injected drug in the food she ate. The father on the other hand went mental and died due to suffocation after he was exposed to the smell of the drug for too long. Either way, BEE could not have received the effect of the drug through food as the drug was not injected in the food when she ate it. After killing the mother of the kid, Boh set out on the task to inject the drug into the food of Arceus in order for him to allow participation in the arena for Boh. The mystery of how BEE received the effects from the drug would remain unanswered.
What Boh did not realise was that Arceus was awaiting for her, he was one step ahead of her and predicted that the attack onto Banana Venom was going to repeat again onto him. As Boh got into the kitchen where food was being prepared for Arceus and other high figures, she blinded all the cooks and guards and began injecting the drug into the food. At that moment more guards with crossbows ran into the kitchen and began firing at Boh. The crossbows did not have arrows but rather nets meaning Boh was captured and taken directly to Arceus.
"I am surprised that a lady as young as yourself is behind these attacks." Arceus began the conversation with Boh.
"Don't underestimate me." Boh threatened.
"I would never! However, you have something I want, the recipe to the drug." Arceus explained.
"Good luck getting it out of my dead corpse!" Boh replied.
"Actually, our chemists are in the middle of retrieving the drug from the food you injected it into. It's a matter of time before we find the recipe to it." Arceus explained.
"What do you want from me?" Boh instantly became interested.
"You can make it easier for us and give us the recipe now. This way we will keep you alive, your abilities could be useful to us in the future." Arceus was winning the deal.
Boh fell into deep though. "I will go along with this if you can complete a few of my requests." She said.
"And what may that be?" Arceus asked curiously.
"I want to participate at the arena. I also want to create my own team which will be named 'Team Archangels'." Boh explained.
"So be it." Arceus finished.
Week Thirteen, Segment One.
Here we were, the semi-finals. What was even more crazy was that the first match of the semi-finals was being held the same week as the last match of the quarter-finals. Today Honey had to face against her brother Benje, a battle she did not want to proceed with yet she had to fight whether she wanted to or not.
"Don't worry Honey, we will kill one of the other four, your brother should be safe. We need you to focus however, it is crucial that you keep your guard up." Master1 said.
"I'll be fine." Honey replied with no emotion.
"We practiced for this day, as long as everyone does what we planned, everything should end the right way." Matt added.
As both main gates opened, the crowd began cheering for both teams.
"What is your prediction my lady?" Frogman asked.
BEE looked over to the other side of the arena and noticed Doh.
"This battle will end the way Daniel wants it to end." BEE responded to Frogman.
"You mean..." Frogman stopped himself and looked down at both teams.
Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, and Honey had already made it into the arena. On the other side, EEDD, Orangecrix, Skullz, and Benje had done the same.
"Let's make this battle last, there is a lot that need to be done during this battle." Benje00 said to his team.
EEDD lifted his arms, the ground began shaking and platforms of the ground began to rise.
"Let's crush their skulls!" Skullz shouted.
In an instance, Skullz created numerous skulls which began circling around each member of Master1's team. After some time, the group realised they couldn't move.
"Let's see what they are capable of." Orangecrix said.
The field began filling up with intensified winds, such wind was clearly more powerful than that of which Addi controlled. The platforms of the ground created by EEDD began moving, faster and faster around Master1's team.
"It's not over." Benje00 said as the platforms of the ground smashed into Master1's team at an incredible speed.
As the mist of dust cleared, it became visible that Master1's team created a shield around the whole team. GKAbyss created water in a shield form which Matt was freezing, Master1 was melting the ice with fire creating it into water which GKAbyss kept in a shield form. This created the ultimate process and worked as an incredible water, fire and ice shield.
"It's ironic isn't it, this dejavu, they are prepared for it." Master1 said.
Matt clenched his hands into fists and as he did this, it created ice spikes which moved at the speed of a quake towards Benje's team. Orangecrix and EEDD began creating ground and wind shields to blocks these ice spikes. However, Matt continued the attack and it was beginning to break through the enemy shields.
"Let's show them how much power we had gained." Master1 grinned.
The ice spikes were only a distraction, the real strength was yet to be shown.
"Honey, get ready!" GKAbyss shouted.
The three of them, Master1, GKAbyss, and Matt created numerous spheres in the air around the whole arena using the same process they created the shield.
"They should remember this." Master1 grinned.
Honey shot hundreds of arrows, tens at a time creating a rainfall of arrows which all headed for Benje's team. The arrows passed through the spheres around the arena which enhanced their speed and strength. It was as if Benje's team were targeted with machine guns from every direction.
If a single arrow was enough to knock out EEDD in their previous battle, hundreds of such powerful arrows were more than enough to kill all four members on Benje's team.
"Not today!" Skullz shouted as he created hundreds of skulls in the sky.
Each skull managed to absorb the damage from each arrow, creating explosions in the air lifting dust into the air and limiting everyone's vision. Benje's team were now pinned against the arena wall, they were prepared for these attacks, however they did not expect the attacks to be so much more powerful.
Orangecrix, EEDD, and Skullz were now spending all of their energy as defense whereas only Honey and Matt were creating continuous attacks. Master1, and GKAbyss could have increased the pressure with even stronger attacks, Benje's team had no chance, Master1's team had complete control. Benje and his team did not prepare well enough, it was time to end the battle.
Then a quick flash was seen out of the mist. An arrow fired by Benje, a precise arrow, a silent arrow. The arrow struck Matt right in the shoulder, only then he realised that this arrow was special. It was an electric arrow which began paralysing and zapping Matt. Matt fell onto the ground an began screaming in pain.
"GKAbyss!" Master1 shouted.
"Sorry my friend." GKAbyss said.
GKAbyss created some kind of liquid an poured it into Matt's mouth. Matt stopped shaking and stopped screaming, he was asleep. GKAbyss began to pull out the arrow only to find out that the arrow expanded in the shoulder like a grappling hook, it was impossible to pull out.
"GKAbyss focus! We have more important things to worry about!" Master1 shouted.
The tri element spheres in the air began to fade now that Matt was unconscious, the arrows were now insignificant. The ice spikes stopped as well, Benje's team regained all control.
"What do we do?" Honey asked.
"We hold our positions!" Master1 exclaimed.
"Skullz!" Benje00 yelled.
Skullz smiled as he created skullz all around Master1's team. Orangecrix picked this up by creating strong winds which made the skulls circle around Master1's team. The skulls had some immense psychic power in them, Master1's team was about to be hit by a power equivalent to hundreds of spears being stabbed into them.
Master1 smiled. "You haven't learnt from our battle against team EX." He whispered.
Master1's eyes lit up in flames. He let out strong flames into the howling tornado created by Orangecrix. Master1's team was now surrounded by the same attack only now empowered with flames.
"They are suicidal! Finish them!" Benje shouted.
"Ahh!" Orangecrix shouted.
"What is wrong!?! I said end this!" Benje exhaled.
"I don't have control over the wind anymore!" Orangecrix shouted.
Master1 smiled and at that moment the howling winds with the skulls in them began to crash into Benje's team. EEDD made more ground arise to create shields and Orangecrix created wind defense to counter the incoming attack. Their combined strength was no enough although it managed to counter most of the attack. After the attack, it became visible that EEDD and Orangecrix were unconscious.
Frustrated with the situation, Skullz created an oversized skull which hovered above ground over the heads of Master1's team.
"Let's see now, what was that one thing everyone used to say? Oh right, you'll know what you need when you need to know it." Skullz said.
The skull above ground lowered the jaw and looked down at Master1's team. As it did this, it began charging up, it was about to fire a beam of energy. GKAbyss acted fast to create a beam of water with equivalent power. The two beams collided but the energy beam from the skull seemed to overpower that of GKAbyss'. A bright flash was seen, after the dust had cleared, Master1 and Honey were on their knees, weak from the attack. GKAbyss was lying neat them, he was unconscious.
"Master1, I am sorry for what I am about to do." Honey said.
"What do you... Ahh!" Master1 shouted.
Honey forced an arrow into Master1's hand. In an instance, Master1 exploded with strong flames. Luckily for Honey, Master1 was still conscious and was able to prevent the flame from harming her. Honey pulled out possibly the last arrow and fired it through the fire. During all this Skullz was focusing his power to create skulls which protected him and Benje from the fire. Honey's arrow headed straight for him. However the fire was disadvantaging the arrow shifting it's position slightly. The arrow struck Skullz right in the shoulder.
"Ahh!" Skullz shouted, lowering his guard.
As the fire overtook, everything faded into nothingness. It was over.
As the fire stopped, and everything calmed down, it became visible that both Skullz and Master1 were unconscious. Only Benje and Honey remained. Both of them stood up with the last energy that they had and aimed their bows at each other.
"Here we are, in the exact same position as last time." Benje shouted across the field.
Tears began running down Honey's cheeks.
"What are you waiting for? Finish the job!" Benje shouted.
"It doesn't have to be this way!" Honey shouted back.
Benje smiled. "You did well." He shouted back.
Benje charged the bow and aimed the last arrow right into his own head.
"No!" Honey shouted.
Benje let go of the string and the arrow shot. Benje gave his own life away for Honey. The battle was over.
"And the first team to go through to the finals is Team Brotherhood Group A! Let's applaud to Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, and Honey!" Arceus announced.
The crowd was cheering louder than ever. Honey fell on her knees, although they won she felt completely defeated. Doh looked at BEE with a smile before leaving the arena.
"It's a scary world we live in." BEE said to Frogman.
Frogman looked down in sorrow. Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, Honey, Skullz, EEDD, and Orangecrix were rushed to the hospital shortly after.

Prologue (Chapter 26):
The terms and conditions set out by Arceus were not beneficial for Boh. She wanted to enter the arena with an advantage over her opponents, however now that everyone had the same advantage it meant no one had an advantage. Boh was set back to step zero and there was nothing she could do. She dug a massive hole and she was the one to jump head first into it. Either way, she was now participating in the arena with her own team meaning she could now talk with Daniel. Her team mates were Hockey, Dylan and Blizzard who received interesting frost powers after the drug. However, soon a lot more powerful members entered Boh's team, she managed to build a whole army that fought at the arena to give reputation to Team Archangels.
What was even more interesting was that Arceus managed to stabilize the effects of the drug and make it safer for everyone. This meant there were no random effects such as what happened with BEE. In fact, BEE entered to participate at the arena as well, probably to spot what the whole issue with the drug was. Either way this was none of Boh's concern. Boh smiled knowing that the drug effects were now stabilized, she knew that she had a power inside her still unknown to everyone, ready to be let free. Ready to destroy the world, set it into complete darkness.
Week Thirteen, Segment Two.
Mustang with MFL in his mind, and MIHB entered the dark jungle where Daniel awaited for them. They sat around a large table, Daniel has set a meeting for everyone. Zoey and Zero were already sitting awaiting for what was going to happen. Thwinkt and Doh joined them shortly after, everyone was now gathered around the table waiting for Daniel and Boh to accompany them. Then out of the darkness, out of nowhere a skull was thrown onto the table. Mustang, MIHB and Zoey began shaking in fear as a dark presence of Daniel joined the table.
"Hmm, Linus' skull, it's so interesting just like his death." Daniel began the conversation.
Daniel walked up to the table, picked up the skull, dropped it onto the ground and crushed it under his foot.
"So then, let us begin discussing the two teams left in the arena." Daniel said in a dark manner.
Daniel looked over at Mustang and MIHB causing a chill to go down their spines.
"So then, team Brotherhood group A, must be good if they managed to stand their ground against team EX itself." Daniel said in an angry manner.
"They got lucky, nothing more nothing less." MIHB said confidently.
Daniel smiled, the type of smile which forced fear and darkness into MIHB.
"I want you to answer my question. Did I ask you why they had won?" Daniel continued questioning in a dark manner.
"Well... I... You..." MIHB lost his train of thought.
Daniel smashed his hands onto the table.
"I asked you HOW they won! Now tell me or you're skull will end the same way Linus' did." Daniel yelled.
"Well... Umm... There..." MIHB began.
"Ragh!" Daniel shouted.
Daniel lifted his sword and sliced MIHB's head off.
Zoey and Mustang began shaking even more.
"He **** me off." Daniel said. "So Mustang, will you talk, or maybe MFL wants to talk?" Daniel asked.
"Master1 seems to be the leader of their team, he makes most of the calls." Mustang began explaining.
"Continue..." Daniel said.
"Their team is actually very interesting, Master1 controls the aspect of fire, GKAbyss the aspect of water, Matt the aspect of ice, and Honey the aspect of archery." Mustang continued explaining.
"Tell me something I don't know." Daniel said.
"They're a laughing stock, a weak copy of King's team." Mustang firmly said.
"Why is it that you lost to them then?" Daniel asked.
"I don't know... there is something about them that I had never seen before. I cannot quite explain it. However, I doubt they could actually do anything against you. In fact, I am almost certain they will fight in the same way King's team did, nothing you couldn't take care of." Mustang finished.
"This is not enough! You had one job, to find out information about your opponents yet you still failed!" Daniel began shouting.
"My lord, they are weak! You should not feel threatened!" Mustang exclaimed.
"Threatened? Is this what you think this is about?" Daniel laughed. "I am simply trying to gather information on the most painful way we could make them die. How am I supposed to make them suffer if I don't know their fears?" Daniel asked.
"You have already crushed them mentally, they are already dead in the most painful way." Mustang smiled.
"Funny how it turns out doesn't it? You have fought against them but it is I that has crushed them." Daniel exhaled.
Mustang swallowed some spit.
"That's because you..." Mustang began.
"Silence!" Daniel shouted as he sliced Mustang's head off killing both him and MFL.
"Next..." Daniel firmly said.
Everyone sat in silence.
"Zoey, do you want to tell me anything?" Daniel asked.
Zoey remained silent.
"Spiderman, a lucky individual who wins any bet with a flip of a coin." Zero interrupted.
"Continue..." Daniel insisted.
"They know they can't win by sheer power, therefore they are betting everything they have on luck." Zero continued. "Take Spiderman out and they will be left with nothing, perfect moment to strike to bring easy victory." Zero finished.
"What about BEE?" Daniel asked.
"When I clashed with Ant, I noticed that his scimitar is no where near as strong as the scales on his body. If timed correctly and considering the amount of loyalty Ant has towards BEE, it is possible to wipe out their whole team in one blast without harming BEE." Zero explained.
"Is there anything else that their team could throw at us that we won't be aware of?" Daniel asked.
"Not that I can think of, during our battle we found out that Frogman is nothing more than a living evasive projectile, Ant is a living ball of strong protective scales. You are already aware of what BEE is able to do and don't need me to explain how to counter her. This leaves us with Spiderman, the only one that can actually do anything." Zero finished.
"So if we show him that he is unlucky after all, we are able to destroy their whole team without harming BEE." Daniel concluded.
"Precisely." Zero smiled.
"See, you can give me the information I want without completely annoying me the way Mustang and MIHB did." Daniel smiled.
Daniel then walked over to Zoey and placed his hand on her cheek.
"What about you? Do you want to add anything?" Daniel asked.
"N..no..." Zoey whimpered.
Daniel placed both his hand onto Zoey's head and twisted it killing her in the process.
"It's time to give BEE the insight she needs, time to make her understand." Daniel exclaimed to everyone left at the table.
Boh who was standing not too far away sighed before turning around and walking away. Everything was close to being over.

Prologue (Chapter 27):
Although Boh had all this power, she did not want to use it. Boh asked Arceus to not fight Daniel and Arceus allowed her, she was practically free to do anything at her will as long as it was legal. She and her team wiped out many other teams, they were clearly dominant but they did not do it in such a cruel way that Daniel did. At first Daniel didn't even notice her, it was as if she never existed and Daniel didn't know who she was, however she knew this was not true, she just had to get through to him.
Daniel had been eyeing BEE for quite some time now, he was observing her power. It seemed like he was interested in her more than he was interested in Boh. This gave Boh the perfect opening to show what she was really capable of. Boh came out victorious from the battle, killing Buzzerbee in the process. This was the final step, Daniel had finally noticed her. Not only did he notice her, but he also finally remembered who she was. Daniel had never approached anyone before, nor did he ever ask for help. Everyone usually looked up to him and approached him.
"So, you came." Daniel said with no emotion.
Daniel looked terrifying, he had certainly changed over these years.
"I had to go through hell to get to you." Boh replied.
"Emotions are for the weak. You need to stop being weak." Daniel stated.
"If it takes being weak to get through to you, then so be it." Boh said.
"You are mistaking yourself, I am no longer the person you used to know." Daniel stated.
"Neither am I, we have all changed." Boh was still trying to get through to Daniel.
"Well then, if you are so willing to go along with me, how is the idea of destroying this world sound to you?" Daniel asked.
Week Fourteen, Segment One.
The time had come. BEE never wanted this nor did she ever think she had to do this. Buzzerbee failed, King failed, even Banana Venom is unable to do anything so where does this put BEE? Was her team really ready to face Daniel himself? Was betting everything on Spiderman the right move? Too many questions once again. BEE was doubting herself. The last time she doubted the victory of her fried, he ended up dying, she had to be strong. She had to give vision, show that they could do it. She had to create the right image to her team as they looked up to her. She wasn't ready nor was her team, however they can win no matter what odds are against them. It was time, time to end all of this.
As both of the main gates opened, BEE, Spiderman, Ant, and Frogman all made it onto the field. This was possibly their final battle, if they won, Master1 was probably going to forfeit the finals and they would be victorious. If they lost... On the other side, Daniel, Boh, Thwinkt, and Doh all made it onto the field as well. For the first time, their whole team came out at once. The tension was growing, it was time to face darkness.
"Let the teaching process begin." Boh stated.
Daniel got off his horse and moved a couple steps forward until he was in front of his team. With one swing of the sword, he sent a massive shock wave towards BEE's team.
"Here we go!" BEE shouted.
Spiderman flipped the coin. Heads. Something wrong was becoming with the shock wave, the wave frequency broke apart making the shock wave disappear just before it hit BEE's team.
"Good. Now Spiderman!" BEE shouted.
Spiderman flipped the coin once again. Heads. Suddenly, something no one was expecting began happening. The sky, the darkness, it was fading and at another instance the rays of sunshine hit the world.
Everyone was blinded by such light as they haven't seen sunshine in such a long time. However now that the darkness was removed, it meant Doh could not control his shields forever, Daniel and Boh became weaker and Thwinkt was now vulnerable to fire again.
"It's going to plan!" BEE exclaimed.
"It's going to plan." Boh said.
Spiderman flipped yet another coin.
"Go." Boh said.
Thwinkt threw his spear right at the coin. However, Ant was quick to react so he stood in front of the way of the spear, protecting the coin. But the spear went over him. Frogman was also quick to react, pouncing towards the spear to grab it, however it moved away from his grasp as well. Doh was making the spear curve!
The spear collided with the coin making it fly up even higher into the air. It wasn't over but Spiderman quickly realised that he was not getting his coin back in a long time.
"We need to stall time!" Spiderman shouted.
"Alright!" BEE approved.
"I will do the talking from now." Boh said.
Daniel shook his head before getting back onto the horse.
"So BEE, it's a nice day out isn't it?" Boh asked.
"It sure is, not everyday I get to go against a person of same power as me." BEE smiled.
BEE noticed the beautiful rainbow colours in Boh's eyes, they were magnificent. Seeing such beauty is a rare case as the eyes go completely dark when the sky does. BEE was now certain, Boh was creating the eternal darkness in the sky.
"Of the same power? I guess you can say that. This is why we need you." Boh smiled back.
Boh lifted her arms and in an instance her eyes as well as the sky went completely dark once again.
"There, that's better." Boh smiled.
"What do you want? Why are you doing this?" BEE shouted, now in a serious tone.
"There are three processes that are involved. First you must learn, then you must understand. Finally, you must begin to love, begin to feel the darkness... the thirst step involves you beginning to admire the strength and power of darkness." Boh explained.
"I don't..." BEE wanted to say.
"Seeing your face right now makes me understand that the first step is complete. You have learnt that we are the strongest, most powerful team there is. You also now know the true strength of darkness. Time for the second step, it's time for you to understand why all of this is happening." Boh explained.
BEE was now listening, paying close attention to every single word that came out of Boh's mouth. She was about to understand what Daniel's intentions were and why he was pursuing his goal.
"You see, many months ago, Daniel approached me and told me something I as well as probably you are going to strongly oppose. He asked me to help him to destroy this world." Boh began explaining.
"Destroy this world? Why? You can't do this!" BEE shouted.
Boh smiled. "This is exactly what I told him back then. I wanted to get him back, prevent him from harming anymore people. However I soon began to learn and understand myself. You see, darkness is actually a delicate thing, it needs care in order to work. Daniel killed Dylan and Blizzard in front of my eyes and told me to do the same to Hockey. However Hockey got away and it cause us many problems." Boh was explaining.
"He showed me that people don't deserve to live in this world. Thus I began to understand that this world had to go, I had to help him destroy it." Boh's eyes lit up in dark red colours, the colour of blood.
"That's no reason to destroy this world!" BEE shouted.
"Silence. I am talking now." Boh interrupted. "Now you know why we are doing this, I will explain the purpose behind this and I will explain how darkness is actually helping us in this scenario." Boh stated.
"I am sure that you have noticed Daniel's sword, a powerful creation by the hand of the Devil himself. This creation seeks to destroy this world, as soon as Daniel took control of it, Daniel soon realised that he had the same goal as it. Daniel was then keen to destroy this world and eliminate anyone that stood in his way." Boh continued explaining.
"The sword originally did not have the power to destroy the world, however it actually hold the power of taking abilities from those that it kills or those that Daniel kills indirectly. One of these people killed indirectly by Daniel was Linus. If you remember Linus' power was to drain power from others due to their fear. After the death of Linus, Daniel's sword was able to drain and take control of anyone killed by it and everyone they had killed before. This is why Daniel came to this arena, after this tournament, Daniel and the sword should have enough power to destroy anyone and anything. The final shock wave the Daniel creates will have the strength and speed to travel around the world, destroying anything it touches." Boh laughed after explaining this. "Do you understand now? This sword alone is as powerful as all the contestants that were ever eliminated. We are simply invincible!" Boh shouted.
"Spiderman?" BEE asked.
"Need more time, keep her talking!" Spiderman quickly replied.
"So where does darkness come in?" BEE asked.
"Upon receiving my abilities, I have found out I could turn the world into complete darkness. Have I told you that darkness is actually a delicate thing? Darkness was able to blind everyone giving us early advantage, it also gave us the ability to take control of the mind of anyone. Speaking of this whole brainwashing through darkness, are you ready to move to the third process of your rehabilitation? I will show you the last thing King saw before his death." Boh smiled.
It was true, BEE now completely understood the goal of Team Element and why they were doing this, they were brainwashed by the sword themselves. They were most likely not in control of their own bodies, the sword and darkness manipulated them.
"No wait, I have more questions!" BEE shouted.
"You have no more questions, you are simply afraid of the final process. It's okay, there is nothing to be afraid of, darkness is waiting for you. It will not harm you, it is too delicate for that, it will simply adopt you and take care of you." Boh said.
During all of this, Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, and Honey were looking at the battle of the crowd, cheering for BEE's team to win. After hearing the intentions of Daniel's group, the crowd and Anch remained silent hoping BEE's team could make it through.
"Let's begin the final process." BEE smiled.
In an instance Daniel's, Boh's, BEE's, Spiderman's, Frogman's, and Ant's eyes focused and became completely dark. The type of darkness in their eyes was impossible to explain. It was scary to consider what was going on in their minds.
Minutes had passed, maybe hours. Master1 thought BEE and her team would fall over dead once they would have came out from the darkness the same way King and his team died. It seemed to be over, tears began running down Honey's cheeks.
"It's okay, they'll make it through." GKAbyss said as he hugged Honey trying to calm her down.
Then it all stopped, the eyes of Daniel, Boh, BEE, Spiderman, Frogman, and Ant became normal once again and the four members on BEE's team fell on their knees in desperation, exhaustion and confusion with faces as if they had been to hell. They were alive on the outside but they looked as if they were killed from the inside. They looked out of breath, with strong emotions, they looked as if they were fighting for days with no rest.
"The teaching process is complete, finish them." Boh said to Daniel.
"I... I understand now! Darkness, it is so beautiful! Please Boh, I want to help you! Take me with you!" BEE shouted in an almost maniac voice.
Daniel got off his horse and sent a final shock wave towards BEE's team. However, during their time with darkened eyes, the coin landed back onto the ground.
"Yes! We're going to win!" Spiderman shouted.
Spiderman flipped his final coin. Tails. He had lost. First time ever, that he had lost to luck.
"No this can't be! Haha! This is impossible! HAHA" Spiderman began laughing from insanity.
It became clear that Spiderman had lost his mind, he looked defeated. In fact, his laugh reminded the laugh of 1nsanity in some way. It was over.
As the shock wave approached BEE's team, Ant covered BEE with his massive body to shield her from the blast. A quick flash was seen as the shock wave passed through BEE's team. Nothing remained, they were exterminated, eliminated, destroyed. As BEE pushed away the remains of what was recently her friend onto the ground, it became known, Daniel and his team were going to face Master1's team in the finals.
"I am sorry." BEE whispered as she fell onto her knees full in tears and began yelling at the top of her lungs.
"Give her time." Boh said as she, Daniel, Thwinkt, and Doh turned around and began leaving the arena stage.

Prologue (Chapter 28):
It's at this time darkness was becoming overwhelming and it was becoming to much for anyone to handle. It was shown that you can overpower it but in the end it still came out ahead. It was shown that you could best it with luck, however even then the misfortune of darkness managed to overtake luck. It was too strong, too deep for any kind of light. So where did Master1's group stand? They couldn't overpower it nor could they have bested it with luck, they had nothing. Was it really already over before it even began? Was it really already over before the whole tournament began? Was it over when Daniel first received the sword? Was it over when the sword was first created? Was the last time anyone could have done anything seriously before the sword had ever entered the manufacturing stage? Who even wanted to create such a destructive weapon? These questions might never be answered.
Week Fourteen, Segment Two.
"We have all the evidence we need, we need to act now!" Anch exclaimed.
Inside the royal house there was a meeting held regarding Daniel and his plan to destroy the world. Four people attended this meeting; Anch, Squadfs, Banana Venom, and another figure.
"Father, our friends gave their lives and it's time to decide whether their deaths were in vain." Banana Venom added.
"Yes we've gained all the evidence we needed to ban Daniel from the tournament, but is it too late? It feels like he has enough power to prevent anything we do from this point.” Squadfs explained.
“We should have acted earlier, this tournament was a stupid idea!” Anch said.
“We wanted to gain as much information as we could, we had no idea he would be gathering power from those he has killed. Now that he has no more secrets to hide is the time we act.” Banana Venom stated.
“It’s too late to act now!” Anch shouted.
“Anch you have so much room to grow, did you forget already? You’ll know what you’ll need when you need to know it.” Arceus said.
The fourth member at the table was in fact Arceus, he had recovered from the incident and was now fully able to get back to his job as the Lead One.
“I never knew what that meant and I still don’t! What do you mean when you need it? We need it now!” Anch shouted in rage.
“You’ll see.” Arceus smiled.
“Both of you, focus! Let’s go over what we can do.” Squadfs said in frustration.
Everyone was on edge, they had almost no time to think and frustration began overtaking them.
“We could get a lot of volunteers, drug them and get them to attack Daniel, this way it’s a high chance he will die.” Anch suggested.
“Too risky, not only it will create panic with rumours spreading that we are making an army and going to war, but it also might force Daniel to use all his power. You remember what he said when he will use all his power, the whole world will be destroyed. In the best case it will just become into another tournament bracket where Daniel will kill everyone once again and gain even more power.” Squadfs explained.
“We could try to assassinate him in his sleep.” Banana Venom suggested.
“We tried doing so before, as you can see it did not work.” Squadfs said.
“Yes, but we did not try to assassinate him with people that had the drug effect.” Banana Venom said.
“I said no. It is too risky, we do not want to aggravate him in any way.” Squadfs stomped the idea.
“We could try the unsafe version of the drug, the one Boh originally gave us. It’s very unstable which could give the user significant powers over Daniel. It’s risky, but is our only hope.” Arceus proposed.
Squadfs began biting his nails, something he had never done before.
“No. It’s unsafe for the community. Our job is to protect them from danger, not put them under harm’s way just to get rid of Daniel.” Squadfs said.
“Well, we could also not interfere with anything and let Master1’s team fight it out with Daniel’s team.” Banana Venom said.
“You’re not serious!” Squadfs shouted.
Anch began laughing at the idea. Arceus gave a smile of acceptance.
“That’s suicide!” Squadfs added.
“Father, do you trust me?” Banana Venom asked.
Squadfs stopped to think for a moment.
“Father, it’s a yes or no question, do you trust me?” Banana Venom persisted.
“Since you received your powers, you have only made correct decisions. You have helped many people and I can easily say that I trust you.” Squadfs said.
“Then you will leave Daniel alone and let me handle him on my own.” Banana Venom added.
“BV, you’re my only daughter. You know that if anything happens to you I will not be able to live without you.” Squadfs said, tears of desperation began showing on his eyes.
“I will not engage him, I will be fine. I just want your acceptance. Will you allow the battle between Daniel’s team and Master1’s team to commence?” Banana Venom asked.
Squadfs looked at Anch and Arceus.
“No!” Anch shouted.
Arceus remained silent with only a smile on his face. Squadfs thought about the situation one more time before giving an answer.
“You had grown to be a bright, intellectual individual. I did not notice how fast you had grown. I trust you with this. Let the tournament finals commence!” Squadfs announced.
“I promise I will not let you down, father.” Banana Venom smiled.

Prologue (Chapter 29):
An unknown figure entered Daniel's dark jungle days after his last battle. The figure was quickly greeted by Thwinkt, Zero, and Doh as she passed them on the way to see Daniel. It seemed as if Daniel expected this figure to come to talk with him as he wasn't surprised to see her in front of him. The facial expression on Boh's face changed significantly as she saw this figure approach Daniel, Boh was not happy to see this figure. It almost felt like Boh was against Daniel's plans but did not want to show it because only this could have explained her negativity towards seeing this figure.
"I am willing to assist you in your doings." BEE's voice pronounced, she was the unknown figure.
Daniel smiled in remark, the plan was coming together.
Week Fifteen, Segment One.
Master1 woke up earlier than the others, it was the day before their final battle against Daniel's team. However it was clear to them at this point that there was nothing they could have done to win. It felt like yesterday their secret, silent hideout was a motel for more than 3 teams and now it was silent again. Their secret hideout was secret once again. Master1 knew that once everyone woke up it would have been up to him to give an inspirational speech that would motivate them. He couldn't do it, he put on his cloak and left the building in a hurry.
It was raining, surprisingly none of the plants or natural wildlife had died even though the sky was in complete darkness. Master1 felt the warmth of the sun as well, it had to be there, it was there but it was turning away from him. Thinking of the warmth of the sun made him remember the time him and BEE were walking through the marketplace, he couldn't take these memories, just thinking about it made him more depressed. Speaking of BEE, he hadn't seen her at all after her battle and he couldn't ask her what happened back then, why did the coin fail? Why did she embrace the darkness? What was that power that made their eyes go dark?
Master1 stopped to smell the flowers, however the rain, it didn't hurt him but it made the situation really uncomfortable for him therefore his nose was stuffed and his throat hurt. Even the weather was against him. It felt like the last battle was like the tornado warning and today was like the morning after. It felt like Master1's world was torn in half and now he woke up, still a work in progress. It literally felt like he was killed inside. Everything seems so bleek and hopeless and the light that he is seeking begins to seep in. It's at this point the rain was beginning to irritate Master1, not just irritate, it was literally **** him off.
Master1 stopped in the middle of the street, it was early in the morning and no one was awake yet. Master1 began screaming at the top of his lungs, creating an inferno spiral which extended all the way to the sky, disintegrating all the rain drops in the process. Master1 wanted to let all of his rage out, he wanted to destroy every single raindrop while imagining he was destroying Daniel in the process. However after a couple of seconds he stopped and the rain drops continued falling down onto him. He lost, he lost to something that doesn't even hurt him, something not even living, how in the world was he supposed to face Daniel if he lost to some rain drops?
-
-
Honey, GKAbyss and Matt woke up hours after Master1. When they noticed he wasn't here they thought he would either be searching for BEE or simply wanted time alone. If he was searching for BEE then he would have been wasting his energy, they tried searching for her every day after her battle to get details on what happened but they were not successful in finding where she was. Honey looked to be in the worst shape, she was still shaking after their battle against Benje's team and after the result of BEE's team. Matt and GKAbyss were highly demotivated as well. Only Hockey still lay silently in his comma in the back room with not a single care in the world. The team was not thinking about how they would win but rather whether they wanted to surrender. At this point it was highly likely they weren't going to participate in their last battle, surrendering seemed to be the better option.
Another silent hour passed before Master1 returned back to the hideout. He seemed to be in deep thought so no one bothered asking where he actually went. He began pacing around the living room as if trying to figure something out. Then after giving up, he sat down on the chair beside GKAbyss, still in deep thought.
"Are you alright?" GKAbyss asked.
Master1 didn't answer the first time as if he didn't hear GKAbyss.
"Master1, are you ok?" GKAbyss asked yet again.
"Huh? Oh right sorry, I was just thinking." Master1 replied this time.
GKAbyss wanted to ask if everything was alright but thought it would be more appropriate to ask a different question.
"What's on your mind?" GKAbyss asked carefully.
"I... I don't know. It's just... It's just that we have to win." Master1 said.
Honey and Matt looked over at him, now paying full attention to what he had to say.
"Sorry, I'll rephrase my statement, we will win." Master1 said. "I don't know nor do I care how we do it, but we will win." He said again.
"Why do you say that? Did you not see what happened out there!?! How can you be so ignorant!?!" Honey yelled as tears began showing in her eyes.
"Look, if we lose we die. If we surrender, we die. So the only possible option is to win, right? We have to win or we all die." Master1 said.
"We should just leave it for the Royal One to take care of, this is not our battle." Matt said.
"No you are wrong, it IS our battle. If not us then who? We are the last group in the bracket that can stop him." Master1 continued explaining.
"It's a stupid, suicidal idea Master1 and you know it." GKAbyss said.
"Just think about it, we were supposed to be dead already. The first time we fought against Daniel, we lived even though Buzzerbee predicted us dying. Then why are we alive?" Master1 asked.
Everyone remained silent.
"Honey, why are you alive? Why did you have to go through all this misery? Why were you forced to confront your brother in a battle to death?" Master1 asked.
Honey remained silent.
"What about you Matt, why did you accept to fight by our side? Why did you enter this arena knowing you would die sooner or later?" Master1 asked.
Matt also remained silent.
"How about you GKAbyss, after you witnessed the very first death being Mobon on our team, why did you continue to fight knowing such fate was going to find you as well?" Master1 asked.
GKAbyss remained silent as well.
"We all knew our death was going to come, we just didn't want to admit it until now. So what is stopping us now? Are we just going to back down now that we know the real consequences? Is this really what we are going to do?" Master1 confronted.
The other three remained silent, clearly in deep thought with what Master1 was saying.
"When I look around, you know what I see? Losers. I mean, folks who have lost stuff. We lost our homes," Master1 looked at Matt. "Families," Master1 looked at Honey. "Close friends," Master1 looked at GKAbyss. "Normal lives." Master1 waited a second for the words to seep in. "We chose this kind of life, we were not forced to be drugged and killed in the most painful way possible, we chose such an end. And you think life takes more than it gives, but not today. Today it's giving us something. It is giving us a chance." Master1 explained.
"A chance to do what?" GKAbyss asked.
"To show others that there is still hope. To lead, to show that the effort of our lost friends was not in vain. And I am not going to stand by and watch as billions of lives are being wiped out by Daniel." Master1 finished.
"But Master1, defeating Daniel, it cannot be done... you're asking us to die!" Honey shouted.
"Yeah... I guess I am." Master1 replied.
"This is a stupid idea, but I have to say dying with friends by my side is the best outcome that I can see." GKAbyss said as he stood up.
"If we die, we die as a team." Matt said as he stood up.
Everyone looked at Honey, still in tears. She did not seem motivated enough to continue the battle.
"Before Benje gave his life for us to continue, his last words were 'you did well.'" Honey began explaining. "He gave his life in order to keep us and his team safe from harm. If he would have been here right now, he would not want to have seen me in such a state. After that battle I promised myself that I would make his death count, I would make him proud. I am not going to back down from my promise. Let's show Daniel that we are not the ones to mess with." Honey finished as she stood up.
"Well then, let's finish what was started years ago." Master1 smiled.
A knock was heard on the door.
"Hmm, I wonder who that can be." Master1 said and cautiously began approaching the door.
As he opened the door, he was surprised to see tens of people that had survived but were kicked out of the tournament standing in front of his door. Each and every one of them cheering for Master1. As GKAbyss, Matt and Honey approached the door, everyone began cheering for them as well. Mac, Tako, Cola, Bobyy, Cow, Megalamb, Shift, NaztyRushz, Atilla, Meredith, Express, and Abrar all giving them the motivation they were so desperate of. Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, and Honey realised just how much faith everyone had in them. Banana Venom smiled as she witnessed what was happening from a distance. It was now no longer a question, Master1's team was going to participate in the Final battle against Daniel's team.

Prologue (Chapter 30):
The dark sky was as dark as always, however in the midst of the darkness Banana Venom managed to spot out a spark of light. What was it that she saw in the dark sky? It was a spark, it was a spark of hope.
Week Fifteen, Segment Two.
As the main gates opened for the last time a gust of strong wind entered the field. The wind was stronger than usually. If gods existed, they'd all be angry now. The crowd seats were almost all empty, everyone knew that the consequences of spectating today's match could end up with them losing their lives. The people that did come to watch today's battle were all one sided, rooting for Master1's team to win. Today's match was going to be destructive and sensational. Everyone who survived from the previous rounds of the tournament were there to see the final battle, the conclusion of today's battle had many stakes. Banana Venom managed to make out a figure on the other side of the arena, it was BEE but what was she doing here? Banana Venom suspected foul play, Daniel was going to do anything to win today's battle.
Everyone in Daniel's team entered the arena. Daniel, Boh, Thwinkt and Doh were all ready for battle and it wasn't that Daniel didn't underestimate Master1's team, no in fact he thought this would be the easiest battle in the whole tournament from the information he gained from Mustang's team, the real reason he was going to put his whole strength towards winning this battle is to secure him getting the power and strength from Master1 and everyone his team had fought previously. After destroying Master1's team Daniel was going to have all the power he had ever needed to destroy this world.
On the other side Master1, Honey, GKAbyss and Matt all entered the arena. However something wasn't right, you could see them shaking with fear, were they ready to take this challenge on? It seemed like they didn't really have any plan with how to go about this battle, they were completely surrounded with darkness with no exits. They were about to stare into the eyes of the Devil. They were about to meet what they tried to avoid this whole time.
"They are pathetic, look at them, they won't even be able to hold up their defense in their current state. I am struggling to understand why they showed up at all." Daniel said with no emotion.
Daniel lifted his sword and sliced the air with it causing a massive shock wave to head towards Master1's team.
"Now!" Master1 shouted.
Master1, GKAbyss and Matt quickly used their powers to create the elemental shield around their team. However they knew from previous experience this was not enough to stop Daniel's attack.
"Here we go!" Master1 shouted.
Matt and GKAbyss both exhaled. The ground began shaking, what was happening? The ground exploded with fire causing massive pieces of ground and rock to stick up out of the ground. Between the spikes of ground and rock a quake of ice shards and icicles began filling up the field. This wasn't all, out of the elemental shield huge amount of pure mass of water began heading towards Daniel's team. The water was glowing with bright colours representing fire and ice. The water was picking up pieces of ice and ground and thrusting them towards Daniel's direction. Honey readied her bow and fired a massive arrow which collided with the water giving it a massive boost thrusting it even faster towards Daniel's team.
As the shock wave collided with the water and everything it was carrying a bright flash of light was seen. The shock wave was literally engulfed by the elemental wave as if it never existed in the first place. The water stopped but the arrow, ice shard, ground and rock pieces were thrown towards Daniel's team. A flaming dragon came out from the wave and looked at Daniel's team and in the next moment Daniel's team was engulfed in the flames of this dragon. On top of this Daniel's team was covered in everything that was flying towards them. The ultimate attack, no one could have survived such an outburst of rage from Master1's team.
"Haha!" Matt shouted. "We did it!"
Master1 exhaled. "We only proved our strength, it's not over yet." He said.
Daniel's hand thrust it's way out of the rubble. Doh used magnetism to move the rubble away and reveal that everyone on their team was not only alive, but were also unharmed.
"I see now." Daniel said.
"We are highly disappointed in you!" Master1 shouted back.
"Who do they think they are!" Daniel pronounced.
"Doh, Atilla's team valued you, they helped you when you most needed their help and all you've done is betray them! You spit down on them! Why are you doing this?" Master1 tried to reason.
Daniel lifted his arm and sent another shock wave. Master1's team reacted by creating the elemental shield around them. Master1's eyes lit on fire as he sent flames out of the shield into the sky creating a vacuum to counter the shock wave. Matt's eyes lit up in cold flames as he sent quakes of ice towards Daniel's shock wave.
As the elements collided another bright flash of light was seen. This time the Shock wave wasn't completely engulfed but was still countered.
"And what about you Thwinkt? Why are you letting yourself get crushed under Daniel's foot? You are doing this just to survive? But in the end you will still die, do you really think that Daniel is going to spare you?" Master1 shouted.
"Silence!" Daniel shouted.
Daniel sent out a huge wave of flames straight at Master1's team. GKAbyss countered by sending a huge wave of water towards Daniel's wave. Honey jumped up into the air, charged up an arrow and shot it into the ground, lifting the top layer of the ground and sending it towards the two waves. This way the strength of GKAbyss' wave was enhanced. The waves collided and fell onto the ground. It was a stalemate.
"And what about you Boh?" Master1 asked.
"What about me!?" Boh replied in an instance.
Tears were seen in Master1's eyes. "You... that day when you fought BEE's team. Your words, they had no meaning! It was as if you follow Daniel not because you want to help him destroy the world, but because you feel by being next to him you could somehow change his mind. It's as if you have some kind of feelings towards him and you want to help him escape the darkness he is in!" Master1 explained.
Boh looked away, it was clear that Master1's words had meaning to her.
"Enough! I am tired of these games, it's time to show them what real darkness looks like!" Daniel shouted.
Boh sighed. It was time to finish the tournament and she knew that she had gotten to a place where there was no return, she had failed. Daniel's and Boh's eyes faded into complete darkness. The same happened to Master1, Matt, GKAbyss and Honey.
"No, this can't be it!" Banana Venom exclaimed.
Thwinkt and Doh turned around and began walking towards the main gate. At this point it was over, Daniel had won.

Week Fifteen, Segment Three.
Master1 was completely surrounded by darkness, was he dead? Was this how it felt to be dead? Master1 didn't feel dead, he felt like he was torn apart, destroyed not just eliminated but completely "unpersonned". The feeling that he had only forced him further into depression, this darkness, it was so painful and completely unbearable, a complete feeling of dread was going through Master1 as he fell further and further into the darkness. He was completely alone, what was this place? It was so peaceful yet so disturbing, nothing was happening but then why was Master1 feeling such dread? What was causing it? Why was this happening to him? At that moment in time he betrayed everyone and everything. Master1 began yelling begging for this to happen to anyone else except him.
"Do it to GKAbyss, Honey, Matt! Anyone but me!" Master1 was screaming.
This was the moment Daniel appeared in front of him. Master1 did not have the feeling nor the motivation to fight. Master1 fell on his knees begging Daniel to finish him off, he wanted Daniel to end this suffering. All Daniel did was stand there and smile at the suffering Master1 was going through, Master1 now felt the pain and suffering Daniel had to go through every day of his life. It was now understandable why Daniel was screaming himself for so long when he acquired the power from the sword. However unlike Master1, Daniel spent years of tough training to resist this pain whereas Master1 didn't have this opportunity. Master1 was going through the same pain KirbyFan was going through when he absorbed Daniel's power. No. Master1 was suffering more in this moment of time.
"How do you feel?" Daniel finally asked.
"What do you want from me!?" Master1 yelled.
"You betrayed your team, you led them straight to their death. How do you feel knowing that you were the one who was responsible for the world being destroyed. Do you understand yet? I am not the cause of suffering, it is you who made everyone including yourself suffer." Daniel explained.
It became obvious that on top of Master1's suffering, Daniel was completely destroying his mentality. Daniel was going to make Master1 mentally destroyed. All Master1 could do was remember Spiderman's laugh before his death, Master1 was going to go just as insane as Spiderman was in that moment. Tears were running down Master1's cheeks.
In the same darkness but in a different space Daniel was doing the same to Honey, Gkabyss and Matt.
As Daniel appeared in front of GKAbyss, a sword appeared in GKAbyss' hand. Why did Daniel give him the sword, did he want him to fight? In front of GKAbyss a lamprey appeared.
"Kill it." Daniel stated.
Tears began running down GKAbyss' cheeks as he lifted the sword over the helpless lamprey. GKAbyss wanted to close his eyes, he wanted to kill himself with the sword, however he could not resist the darkness as he sliced the lamprey in half.
"Continue." Daniel stated.
As GKAbyss lifted the sword once again, he began screaming as he continued to slice the lamprey again and again until bits of pieces remained from it. It was done.
"More." Daniel stated.
Five more lampreys appeared in front of GKAbyss, it became clear that Daniel found a way to mentally destroy GKAbyss.
As Daniel appeared in front of Honey, a bow and an arrow appeared in Honey's hands. In front of Honey, stood no other but Benje himself.
"No you're supposed to be dead." Honey cried.
"No Honey, I will always remain with you, you're my little sister, I will never leave you." Benje replied.
For that one moment Honey felt happiness, happiness which was completely destroyed the next moment as she raised the bow and aimed the arrow straight at Benje.
"Why are you doing this, don't do this!" Benje shouted.
However, Honey could not control herself.
"NOOO!" Honey shouted as she released the arrow.
She killed him, she killed her own brother. Daniel found the way to completely mentally destroy Honey. This darkness, it was hell.
Matt's weakness was slightly harder to find, however Daniel managed to get through to him as well.
"What are you most afraid of?" Daniel asked.
"Nothing! You will never kill me!" Matt shouted.
"But you're already dead." Daniel explained.
"I feel alive, and while I have this feeling I will fight!" Matt shouted.
"Is that so, first you betrayed your team and now you're willing to fight even after you back stabbed them?" Daniel asked.
"Excuse me?" Matt answered with a question.
The next moment a knife with blood appeared in Matt's hand and in front of him laid the bodies of Master1, Honey and GKAbyss.
"They trusted you with their lives yet you go out of the way to murder them just to survive yourself, you're pathetic, you deserve to be dead!" Daniel explained.
As depression began flowing through Matt, Daniel realised that he managed to crack this nut as well.
Master1 was the most resistant. He gave up, however it was not the outcome Daniel wanted. Daniel wanted to make Master1 fight against him, only that way he could mentally destroy him. However Master1 accepted his fate, there was nothing that could make him completely mentally destroyed. Daniel did not want to leave Master1, he wanted to finish him. That's when the idea came to Daniel's mind of how to finish off Master1.
"What is your purpose, are you fighting to save the world or to destroy it?" Daniel asked.
"I am fighting to stop you from destroying everything I worked so hard to save." Master1 replied.
"Why did you fight to save it in the first place?" Daniel was intrigued.
"Because there are people out there that count on someone to do it, I had to help those people." Master1 explained.
"Pathetic, you're fighting just to look like a hero. You deserve to die." Daniel explained.
"No. I am not fighting for myself, I am fighting for those who lost their lives to your barrage of darkness." Master finished.
"Well then, you are fighting against yourself. Know that it was you who destroyed the world you fought so hard to protect, not me, you!" Daniel finished.
Daniel's long sword appeared in Master1's hand and a sight appeared in front of Master1. It was the arena, he was back at the arena.
"Go ahead kill me." Daniel stated.
As Master1 lifted the sword up in the air and dropped it onto the ground, he created a quake which headed straight for Daniel. However this quake was different, it was much stronger than any usual attack. Master1 watched as Honey, Matt and GKAbyss were caught by the quake and pulled in to their death. The quake was much stronger than just that though, Master1 watched as the walls of the arena crumbled and fell from the quake killing hundreds of innocent people. Only then Master1 realised what he had done. The quake continued into the city, destroying many building now killing thousands of people. However the quake did not stop there, Master1 realised that the quake he created from the sword was the attack Daniel was going to use to destroy the world. The quake Master1 created continued on destroying the entire planet. Once only flames, ashes and rubble remained from the world only Master1 and Daniel remained.
"It is you who destroyed this world, not me." Daniel said once again.
As those words lingered in Master's head, he fell onto his knees in shock from what had happened.
"I... I killed them... I killed everyone." Tears began running down Master1's cheeks.
Master1 began screaming at the top of his lungs, Daniel had finally destroyed his mentality. Daniel's job was now finished, he had won, he now had the power to destroy the real world.
Banana Venom could no longer wait to see what would happen to Master1's team. She had to act, and she had to act fast. Banana Venom gave a final glance over towards BEE before her eyes lit up with bright light. She was going to transition into the darkness world Boh had created. It wasn't easy, Banana Venom felt that BEE was trying to interfere with her. However she had to break through, she had to help Master1's team. Why was BEE trying to interfere? Did she really choose to help Daniel?
As Master1 sat on his knees in front of Daniel a third figure began to show itself. It was Banana Venom, she made it through. As Master1 looked at her, a sense of sorrow went through him, he felt like he let her down.
"I am sorry my princess, I had failed your expectations." Master1 said softly.
"Master1... Master1..." Banana Venom said.
Master1 could see her mouth moving, she was saying something, however he just couldn't hear what she was saying.
"Boh! Get this peasant out of here!" Daniel shouted.
"Master1... Master1..." Banana Venom continued saying.
Then it hit Master1, this world, it was not controlled by Daniel nor Boh. This world was merely in his head which meant he was in control. This is why the real GKAbyss, Honey and Matt weren't around, because the same was happening in their own heads. Master1 tried to focus to hear what Banana Venom was saying, it began working.
"Master1, this is not real! Snap out of it!" Banana Venom began saying.
Master1 finally stood up to confront Daniel.
"Daniel there is one thing you will never learn to understand, you will never defeat me because I have the power of Twinrova in me!" Master1 said.
"Twinrova? I destroyed Twinrova!" Daniel shouted back.
"No! I am Twinrova, I am too powerful!" Master1 yelled back.
"Then I destroyed you!" Daniel replied in anger.
"No... you're wrong... I destroyed you." Master1 smiled.
Master1 began letting out flames. The flames rose up, higher and higher.
"No this is impossible! Boh!" Daniel shouted.
Master1 was still alive which meant he had to survive! Master1 began creating strong flames, destroying this dark space Daniel and Boh had created in the process and in the next moment Master1 broke through the darkness saving himself as well as his team. Thwinkt and Doh turned around, something didn't go right how could they escape the darkness? However Matt, Honey and GKAbyss suffered mentally and were not ready to continue the fight.
Boh fell unconscious, the darkness in the sky was eroded by light and the bright sun struck the world once again, blinding everyone in the process. It took a bit of time for the eyes to adjust to such sudden light. Banana Venom also fell although she was still somewhat conscious, she used her power to cheat, she had to in order to save Master1's team.
"Everyone stand up! Everything that happened was not real!" Master1 shouted.
Matt stood up first, realising that he did not back stab his team, he was ready to continue the fight. GKAbyss and Honey were more hesitant, Daniel succeeded in destroying their mentality.
"You monster! I will destroy you for what you did to my team!" Master1 shouted.
Master1's eyes lit up in flames as he let out a gale of flaming winds. The winds began forming a tornado, picking up bits of the ground. The winds were extremely powerful yet they were not damaging Matt, GKAbyss or Honey. What was most fascinating was that the flames created seemed to be damaging Daniel and his team. And it was true, the invulnerability Boh's darkness was creating was no longer present. This meant that Doh could not keep his shields active forever. Master1's flames had never gotten so big and so strong, the flames were destroying Doh's shields with ease. As Doh tried to make his last stand, the flames broke through burning through him. The last thing Master1 saw was a smile on Doh's face. As Master1 stopped his flames it became visible that Doh was no longer alive. Thwinkt, Daniel and Boh remained alive however this no longer mattered. Master1 and his team had won, it was over, they saved the world.
"This, this cannot be." Thwinkt said.
These were his first words spoken in years. He thought that words were a waste of time, however he was so shocked that this situation deserved to be spoken to out loud.
"No, this... this cannot be." Daniel mimicked Thwinkt's words. "No! I cannot lose! This is not over yet!" Daniel shouted.
Daniel lifted his sword and sent out a quake towards Master1's team.
It became visible that Daniel was not going to give up that easily, he was not going to fight by the official rules of the arena, he didn't come this far to lose because one of his team mates had died. Master1 realised that the only way to save this world was if they'd kill Daniel himself, however how do you kill someone who is invulnerable to any damage?
Master1 had no strength left to defend against the quake. Matt had to save his team so Matt froze the ground as well as the quake heading towards them. Matt and the team had gained so much strength that stopping Daniel's attacks did not take much strength and was easily done by a single member of the team. However the quake was just a simple attack to take their attention. Matt looked at Honey and saw Daniel holding his sword above her.
"NO!" Matt shouted.
But it was too late there was no one who could stop Daniel, Honey, Master1 and GKAbyss were too weak to act and Matt was too late to act. However just as Daniel began to descend his sword to finish off Honey and arrow was shot into Daniel. The arrow was shot at such a speed and with so much force that it blew Daniel backwards.
As Honey looked up to see who had saved her, a familiar smile met her. It was Benje, he was alive!
"No! You're dead! This can't be!" Daniel shouted.
This was the first time ever Daniel was actually worried. No one had ever made him so nervous his entire life. Behind Benje familiar faces began popping up. Orangecrix, Skullz and EEDD had joined Benje. Their team jumped into the arena to join the battle against Daniel.
"You're alive!" Honey shouted as she began running towards Benje.
"I'ma make this puppet pay for torturing you sis." Benje replied as the hugged.
Skullz' eyes lit up as he surrounded Daniel with skulls, EEDD joined by lifting huge rocks out of the ground around Daniel. Orangecrix began creating strong winds to begin moving everything around Daniel. Master1 smiled as he began leashing out flames into the wind creating a powerful flaming barrier around Daniel. In this ring of elements, Matt created ice spikes to alter Daniel's position the way he wanted. Daniel could no longer escape this elemental destruction. However this ring of elements was not moving fast enough.
"I'll help yous!" NaztyRushz shouted as he jumped into the arena.
He began running around this elemental ring making it whirl around Daniel much faster. However Daniel began breaking out with his sword. Atilla and Meredith jumped in and began infiltrating the codes of the situation. They began altering gravity, speed of the elemental ring and the strength of the ice spikes.
Daniel was now fixed in place, unable to do anything. However Mac jumped in creating cheese type of glue around Daniel. It was now certain, Daniel was finished.
"No this is not how it's going to go!" BEE shouted as she jumped into the arena.
Atilla and Meredith began screaming as BEE began interfering with their coding. BEE began creating darkness around everyone, giving Daniel the ability to move once again.
"No stop!" Boh shouted as she became conscious once again.
"Silence!" BEE shouted as she forced Boh down with darkness. "You're pathetic, this is why Daniel chose me instead of you." BEE said to Boh.
Daniel cut the cheese like glue off of him and sliced the ice spikes out of the way. As he extended his hand with the sword, it cut NaztyRushz in half as he was running around.
"We have to collapse on Daniel now!" Master1 shouted.
Master1, Skullz, EEDD, and Orangecrix shifted the elemental ring to collapse onto Daniel with the skulls firing lasers right at Daniel. Such a collapse in strength weakened the four even more, however it had to finish Daniel off.
The dust filled up the whole arena. As it cleared, everyone stared at the fire and smoke at the centre of the arena. A familiar face began showing out of the smoke. Daniel had survived. The pieces of flesh that were either burnt or torn apart began healing up. Daniel looked like he came out of a mixing machine, however after he made a couple steps he healed up enough to look like a human once again. It was BEE, she saved him.
"I have the strength of Boh and Doh combined! You can't stop us!" BEE shouted.
What was controlling her? Nothing, she was making this decision without the influence of anything. What had happened to her?
Daniel began walking towards Master1 and the group however the sand below his feet began moving him backwards. It was like he was was on an escalator that was going against him. What was this magic? It took Daniel a moment to realise that the sand below him wasn't just moving, it was shifting places. As he looked up he saw that the person behind this sorcery was in fact Shift himself!
"Team EX put shame on my name. Now I will get payback on him who had commanded team EX." Shift said.
As Daniel began yelling in anger, another two figures jumped onto the field and literally pounced towards Daniel. They were Cow and Megalamb.
"Moo." Cow threatened Daniel.
"Haha!" Zero laughed from a distance.
Zero jumped into the arena, fighting back Cow and Megalamb. However the two beasts were too fast and too strong for him. Megalamb knocked him up in the air, threw him down on the ground, pounced on him and began scratching him to death.
"Haha!" Zero laughed from behind.
Megalamb had gotten his clone. Zero was truly a cheap fighter. As Megalamb turned around, Zero jumped onto his head and sliced it off with his sword.
"Moo!!" Cow yelled no!
As Cow charged him, he laughed once again and escaped his vision once again, just like a hologram.
Zero had evaded Cow and was now near Thwinkt.
"So, what are you waiting for? Help us kill these fools!" Zero said.
Thwinkt stood there for a second.
"No. I don't want to be your puppet anymore!" Thwinkt said his second line in a long time.
"You're pathetic like the rest!" Zero shouted as his blades clashed with Thwinkt's.
Cow was there shortly to join Thwinkt in this fight against Zero.
However, Daniel was still heading towards Shift who was trying to stop him with all possible means.
BEE was standing over Boh. "You're nothing!" She was saying.
Everything was happening too fast, Daniel decided to stop these games. Daniel's eyes lit up with fire for the first time. The fire quickly began changing colours, red, blue, green, yellow... Purple...
"No... This can't be!" Arceus said.
"What is he doing!?" Squad asked.
"He is about to use 4th tier attacks." Arceus said in fear.
"Wait, you are saying he has attacks stronger than his dark void!?" Squad rushed to ask.
"The void was a simple dark element attack, nothing too difficult even Boh was able to do it. Tier 4 attacks however, we banned him from using them because they were too strong for anyone to handle!" Arceus explained.
"God help us!" Squad finished.
Daniel sent a massive shock wave heading directly towards Shift.
"Master1! You have to do this without me!" Shift said.
Shift began shifting time and space itself. He had milliseconds to shift every bit of the shock wave into one point to save the rest. He minimised the size of the shock wave to focus onto one point. However this increased the intensity of the shock wave. The point the shock wave was now focusing on, was him. As the shock wave collided with him, his body exploded into a million pieces, covering the whole field with blood.
"God." Master1 slowly said.
"We're sorry, there is nothing we can do at this point." EEDD said on behalf of everyone else who were trying to help.
"Enough is enough!" Daniel shouted.
As his eyes turned into dark red colour, he looked at Thwinkt, Cow and Zero.
"Burn in hell you traitor!" Daniel shouted as he set the area they were in with flames. The flames were so strong, they even surprised Master1, they were completely engulfing Cow and Thwinkt. As he stopped his attack, no one saw anything left from the two, Thwinkt's only weakness being fire completely obliterated him. Cow did not survive such strong fire either. Now if it took minutes for Master1 to do a similar thing to Doh, it took mere seconds for Daniel to do it to Cow and Thwinkt.
"Yes! Let's kill them all!" Zero shouted after seeing his two opponents getting completely destroyed by the fire.
Daniel turned towards GKAbyss as the flames in his eyes turned into a brownish colour.
"No!" Master1 shouted "Not him!"
GKAbyss was the only one of the four who was still left mentally damaged and was sitting down on the ground, crying at what was happening.
"Honey! You take the left and I take the right, we have to stop this monster!" Benje shouted.
The two split, surrounding Daniel and shooting hails of arrows at him. However he did not seem to be bothered by this. The arrows were bouncing off of him. As he hit the ground, a quake was sent in the direction of GKAbyss.
"Matt! Master1 shouted." The two combined their powers of fire and ice to create the actual Twinrova in power. An all powerful attack was sent towards Daniel's quake. Such an attack almost left Master1 and Matt unconscious as they put too much strength into saving GKAbyss. It was an immense attack heading towards another equally immense attack.
But was it really equal? Honey noticed that Daniel's quake was changing elements. It wasn't just any ordinary ground attack enhanced by wind. It was changing from ice, to fire, to water, to ground again. It was just too strong. This tier 4 attack was too much for the tier 3 attack created by the god like attack of Master1 and Matt. As the two opposite forces collided, Daniel's attack overtook with ease as it continued heading for GKAbyss.
"NOOO!" Master1 shouted as the attack collided with GKAbyss.
The attack picked him up and continued heading forward with him. The quake and GKAbyss collided with the wall of the arena, the toughest material in the world. There were other attack that broke through the wall, however after this quake was interrupted by other forces it was supposed to just end after it hit the wall. However, it continued going through it with ease. GKAbyss was literally thrust through the wall of the arena and left on the other side beside the rubble of the arena.
As Master1, Matt, Honey and Benje rushed to see if he was ok, they saw the most horrific sight. GKAbyss was lying down with blood everywhere, missing his leg and most of his fingers.
"Mas.. Mast.." GKAbyss tried saying.
"What is it my friend?" Master1 asked as he walked up to GKAbyss.
"Kill that son of a **** the way he forced me to kill the lampreys!" GKAbyss said.
"I will." Master1 promised.
GKAbyss smiled one last time before dying.
Honey, Matt, Benje and Master1 all began tearing up.
"We will win." Master1 promised once again as he closed GKAbyss' eyes.
Daniel had now left the arena with BEE and Zero. Boh was left to die, however Skullz used his power to free Boh from the dark magic.
"Guys, we have to stop them now!" Boh shouted as she went through the gap in the wall to warn the team.
"Yes, come on team, we have to avenge GKAbyss' death!" Master1 added.
"We'll make him for everything he had done!" Matt agreed.
"Let's do this, as a team." Master1 finished.
Daniel used his dark strength to lift himself up into the air and look over the town he was about to destroy.
"Here we are, time to end what was started such a long time ago." Daniel said.
With one slice of his hand he sent a shock wave into one direction destroying numerous buildings. With another slice he sent another shock wave destroying even more buildings.
"Here we go." Daniel said as he lifted his sword to make the final shock wave which would destroy the whole world.
Lightning began striking the sword, and it began becoming empowered by darkness. A tornado formed above it, the sword had gained enough power for the final Tier 5 attack.
An arrow shot Daniel from the back.
"Hey you're not finished with us yet!" Honey shouted.
"Your persistence, it's adorable yet pathetic." Daniel said.
His eyes were lit with fire which were rising high up in the air. No one saw Daniel with this much power till this point.
"I am honestly scared right now." Matt admitted.
"You're not the only one." Master1 agreed.
"You're too late, it's over!" Zero shouted.
"It's never too late to kick your ****!" Matt shouted back at him.
"Please, you all know you have already lost!" BEE shouted.
"BEE, you know we haven't!" Boh shouted back.
"You? You're supposed to be dead! Bah, who cares. Daniel just finish the job!" BEE shouted.
Daniel lifted his hand for the final attack.
"So is this how it's going to be? The destroyer of the world chickens out to fight a group of pesky peasants? So is this how you're going to end this? Pfft you're so pathetic Daniel, come fight us on even ground!" Master1 intimidated.
"You will pay for your arrogance!" Daniel shouted as he descended to fight the team.
Daniel sent out a beam of elemental energy towards Master1 and the group. Master1 replied by sending a beam of fire of his own. However, Daniel's beam began overtaking with ease really fast... until Matt joined in.
"This is for Twinrova." Matt smiled.
However, Daniel's beam was still too strong.
"We'll help!" Honey shouted as she and Benje began charging their bows with power.
This power created powerful winds which helped the beam against Daniel. However this was still not enough.
EEDD, Mac, Atilla, Meredith, Skullz and Orangecrix all joined in. It still wasn't enough. More people began coming, Tako, Cola, Bobyy, Express and Abrar all joined to help. Daniel was slowly beginning to struggle, however he was still too powerful.
"We have to help!" Zero shouted.
However just as he was about to help, BEE turned him around and punched him in the face so hard that it knocked him down on the ground.
Boh joined with her power of darkness. However she noticed that the beam of Daniel was changing between darkness and light as well as the other elements. However they were changing acting one at a time so that they wouldn't counter each other. This was his weakness. Boh had finally spotted his weakness, he could not make darkness and light work together which made him weaker.
"We need to find someone who could help us, we need light!" Boh shouted.
However someone was one step ahead, Banana Venom knew she had to help. Her eyes lit up with light as she sent a beam of light to help the team. However it only weakened their beam, Boh's darkness and Banana Venom's light did not work together. This is where BEE came in. Boh's eyes were lit up in dark light, Banana Venom's eyes were lit up in light, BEE was different, here eyes were lit up with both light and darkness. She was the final key, she made light and darkness work together, enhancing both Boh's and Banana Venom's power. This was it, their beams were now overtaking that of Daniel. It was truly incredible. The power of their teamwork was strong enough to counter a tier 5 attack. You don't hear people say that around every day.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE!" Daniel shouted as his beam was slowly pushed against him.
Master1's eyes lit up in red flame, Matt's eyes lit up in ice cold flame, Honey's and Benje's eyes lit up in green flames. Boh's eyes were lit up with darkness, Banana Venom's eyes were lit up with light, BEE's eyes were lit up with both.
Everyone else's eyes also began lighting up in different colours. Daniel used everyone's power against the world, however this was countered if he also had to face everyone as his opponent.
The team's beam finally overtook Daniel, engulfing him in different elemental power.
"NOOOO!!!" Daniel shouted.
However it was over. This time it really was. Daniel had lost.
As he fell down, his sword fell meters away from him. Everyone exhaled, it was finally over.
The dark sky cleared up once again. Zero's dark red eyes turned bright purple once again.
"Zero are you alright?" Benje shouted.
"Zero? My name is 0176, what are you talking about?" Zero said.
He had finally snapped out of the darkness that was controlling him.
Boh ran up to Daniel. "Are you alright?" She asked.
It was visible that even though Daniel tried to kill her, she still wanted him to live. Daniel was alive, he was still breathing. However, he was not going to fight again anytime soon.
Master1 walked up to Daniel's sword, he felt the strong urge to pick it up.
"Don't." Boh said.
"I just want to pick it up to hide it, to keep everyone safe from it." Master1 explained.
"Don't. The sword picks it's next target based on their strength, it recognises you as a stronger figure than Daniel and thus it wants to take you under it's control to do the same thing with you as it did with Daniel. If anyone is going to hide it, it can't be you." Boh explained.
Master1 fought the urge of picking it up and walked away from it.
"BEE..." Boh said realising BEE was no longer with them.
Boh had so many questions she wanted to ask BEE but couldn't any longer.
"Where did she go?" Boh asked.
"Doesn't matter, we'll talk with her later. Let's get out of here for now." Master1 said.
However BEE was now by Banana Venom's side.
"You decided to help, why?" Banana Venom asked.
Banana Venom was on her knees, still struggling to stand up after the battle.
"Back then, in the darkness. Daniel and Boh made a huge mistake by telling me how to defeat Daniel." BEE said.
"Oh really? And what was that?" Banana Venom asked.
"However I had to risk everything. You see light and darkness cannot exist in one. In order to make these two elements exist in me I had to help Daniel destroy the world with no mercy to anything that stood in the way. By doing so I created darkness inside of me, but I never gave up light either. Thus I was able to help you and Boh destroy him and the sword." BEE explained.
"You are a crazy one!" Banana Venom exhaled as she stood up.
"It was the only way." BEE said.
"What about you, I saw you looking at Master1. I don't suppose you have any feelings for him?" BEE asked. "You like him?" She added.
"I merely like his determination and him never giving up. I find these attributes mildly pleasing." Banana Venom smiled.
"You like him." BEE confirmed.
The two giggled as they looked at the sunset.
"Never thought I'd be seeing it again, it's so beautiful isn't it?" Banana Venom stated.
"It sure is." BEE smiled.

Aftermath and Credits:
It took a few days for everyone to recover. Those who fell that day were buried in a new graveyard which was built in the honor of them. Master1 stood staring at the grave of GKAbyss, his fellow team mate. They had went through so much together and it was so demotivating to see GKAbyss die the way he did, in complete suffering over the loss of the lampreys he was forced to mercilessly slaughter. Daniel had achieved what he wanted, he destroyed GKAbyss mentally and spiritually before completely killing him. Only one thing made Master1 happy, he managed to avenge GKAbyss and fulfill his final words. No. Master1 failed to do that as well. Daniel was now sleeping in the bed GKAbyss once slept in, Master1 felt inhuman watching Daniel sleep in that bed.
The thought kept entering Master1's head, 'Maybe I should just kill him. He is a threat to all of us, I should just end him while he is weak and in deep sleep.'
However Boh never left Daniel's side, watching over him as he slept. It was impossible to kill Daniel, not in front of all the eyes.
On the bright side, Hockey had woken up from the deep coma he was in. Unaware of what had happened, it took some time explaining to him what had actually occurred while he was out. Zero was back into his senses as well. The reason Zero lost control over his mind was because he fed off of light from the sky which powered him, since the darkness took over, Zero lost all control. It seemed like he did not regain his control back over him once the sun came out again though as he was still helping Daniel and only regained his senses after Daniel was defeated. It was true, the darkness coming off from the sword was much greater than that Boh had created.
Honey left to live with her brother Benje. Now with unlimited wealth given to them by Squad they could have lived anywhere they pleased, there was no need to stay at the secret hideout any longer. Matt was really sick for the first couple of days, vomiting quite often. However Matt did manage to get back together and reopened his bar which began booming with business the way it had never done before. Although Matt had limitless wealth, it was his dream of owning a bar and so he continued following his dream but now his business was actually successful. Owning the bar was depressing at times however as Matt missed his best worker Jaba who was buried a long time ago after his battle with Daniel. The rest of the people kind of scattered around places, although they did not win the tournament which meant they didn't actually have unlimited wealth, they were still very popular among the people and so it wasn't difficult for them to pursue their goals.
The on the 3rd day after the tournament, Daniel had finally opened his eyes.
"Daniel, how do you feel?" Boh asked carefully.
Daniel had a look around without speaking getting a bearing of where he was. It was visible that Daniel was in a state of concussion and did not know what was happening.
"Boh..." Daniel carefully replied.
Master1 had prepared a spear and pointed it at Daniel in the case he was going to do something funny. However Daniel saw this threat, quickly maneuvered around the spear, knocked Master1 onto the ground, grabbed the spear and began descending it to stab Master1 to death. However, before the spear could collide with Master1's chest, Boh stopped Daniel by grabbing the spear just in time.
Hockey rushed into the room, "Is everything alright?" Hockey asked in a hurry.
"Boh what are you doing, he is a danger to us!" Daniel shouted.
"No Daniel sit down, we have a lot to tell you!" Boh replied.
However, even though Daniel was no longer controlled by the sword, he remained ignorant and direct as that was what he grew up to be due to his rough childhood.
"Boh we're leaving right now." Daniel stated.
Boh sighed. "Alright." She said.
"Wait I can't let you go just like that!" Master1 exclaimed.
"Trust me Master1, it would be better if I explain what happened to Daniel alone. In a more private area. He will not discuss anything in front of what he would say 'scum' like you." Boh explained.
Although these words had offended Master1, he knew that it would be better for everyone if Boh would talk with Daniel in privacy. After all, Boh was the only person Daniel had trusted.
"Fine, so be it." Master1 agreed.
"Alright then, we're leaving now Daniel." Boh stated.
Daniel walked up to Master1 up close, very aggressively "I don't need permission from someone as low as you." Daniel said as he violently pushed Master1 out of the way. "Hurry up Boh, if you slow me down I will leave you behind as well." Daniel finished.
"Gee, what's up with him? I thought he'd be nicer now that he isn't controlled by the sword." Hockey said.
"His violent characteristics is why the sword has chosen him in the first place." Master1 explained. "So then, it's just you an me left in this little secret shack of mine." Master1 added.
Ironically, just as he said that, Banana Venom and BEE rushed into the building with tens of servants following them.
"Ahh here he is, our hero!" BEE exclaimed.
"Come on peasants, get him ready, we have a big day ahead of us!" Banana Venom added.
The servants quickly pushed Hockey out of the way and picked up Master1.
"Ahh! Let me go!" Master1 shouted.
"Now, now Master1, don't make this difficult." BEE said as the servants placed him into the cart with horses.
Banana Venom and BEE joined Master1 in the cart and the horses began moving.
"Where are we going?" Master1 asked.
"You have a ceremony where you will be officially announced as the tournament winner. Honey and Matt will be there as well!" Banana Venom explained.
"So could you tell me what the prizes were again?" Master1 asked cautiously.
"Well, you are granted unlimited wealth meaning you are able to use any resources you like for free!" BEE said.
"You will also be considered as a royalty in this land as well as other countries." Banana Venom added.
"Now there are some limitations in this agreement which will be announced by Squad..." BEE began explaining.
"These will be mainly in place so you don't destroy the economy but I am sure you're going to be much more sustainable in the way you use the country's resources." Banana Venom finished the sentence.
"Oh and there is going to be another limitation to this, let's just say you won't be as pleased of hearing about this one but you will be given a choice just like you were given one when you decided to participate in the tournament." BEE slowly said.
"This doesn't sound good." Master1 spoke.
"It won't, but again, it won't be necessary." BEE finished.
The cart arrived at one of the many stadiums which still remained standing.
"Off you go now, through these gates." Banana Venom said pointing at the entrance to the arena.
Master1 got out of the cart and slowly began approaching the entrance to the arena. The memories of him entering through such gates gave shivers down the spine, it was almost like they were going to force him to fight another battle. However, the paranoia quickly went away after he saw that Honey and Matt were standing on the podium in front of Squad, Arceus and Anch as well as hundreds of people who had gathered to see them on this day.
"Hey bud." Matt said as Master1 jumped onto the stage.
The crowd began cheering to see the three heroes standing on the podium together. The crowd was going completely mental over them.
A little girl ran up to Honey, "Thanks for saving us." The little girl said as she gave Honey a bouquet of flowers.
"Aw, thank you." Honey replied with a smile.
As the girl jumped off the stage and the crowd went silent, Squad began speaking.
"We are gathered on this day to celebrate the victory over darkness itself. We are here to congratulate those who fought and won and to commemorate those who fought but did not make it. On this day we stand united as a family and we are able to breathe freely thanks to the heroes who fought hard to give us a chance to see and talk with over loved ones. Four rookies started this journey and by the end of it they became gods. Those four being Master1, Matt, Honey and GKAbyss!" Squad began giving the speech.
The crowd began cheering once again, louder than the previous time.
"Alright silence, let the Royal One finish his speech!" Arceus shouted.
As the crowd went silent, Squad continued his speech. "Unfortunately, one of these four heroes had to give his life in order to save us. Him being GKAbyss, a true god of water and lampreys had passed away so that we could see light once again. His bright personality will certainly not be forgotten. However, he was not the only one who died in order to retrieve light. There were tens if not hundreds of people who gave their lives for us. Maybe someone sitting next to you had lost the parent or their child in this war against darkness. Each and every one of us remained as a hero throughout all of this and those who had died will certainly not be forgotten. Let's have a moment of silence for those that did not make it to see the light once again." Squad finished as he lowered his head to give the moment of silence.

A minute later, Squad raised his head once again. "Now as promised, I award the three of you, my children unlimited glory and wealth! From this day you three will be recognised all over the world as the heroes who saved this world." Squad turned towards the crowd, "So if the decide to visit your home, don't hesitate to offer them a slice of bread as now you all know that they were the ones who saved us all!" Squad finished.
The crowd began cheering once again.
"Alright quiet down everyone, Squad is not finished just yet!" Anch shouted.
Squad turned back towards the three, "We will discuss the in depth details of this agreement after the ceremony, however there is one more crucial point that goes into this." Squad said.
Master1, Honey and Matt were highly intrigued and wanted Squad to spit it out already.
"You will certainly be recognised all over the world, however recently I found out that other countries and regions held their own tournaments just like this one. They refuse to offer any of their wealth unless our champions can prove that they can beat theirs in a fair battle." Squad explained.
The crowd as well as Master1, Matt, and Honey began talking. Everyone knew what was coming up.
"From next week, we will organise two teams which will represent us in this new international tournament against worlds strongest and deadliest of people. The members in those two teams do not have to be the finalists, as long as they participated in the tournament they are eligible to enter. However the higher the contestants placed, the higher the chance that they are able to participate. You are able to opt out of this tournament on the terms that you will only have unlimited wealth within our region and not outside of it. The two teams that would have represented us would have been Master1, GKAbyss, Matt, Honey and 2nd placing Daniel, Thwinkt, Boh, Doh. However due to certain circumstances GKAbyss as well as everyone on the 2nd placing team are not going to participate. Instead the Semi finalist team consisting of Benje, Skullz, Orange, EEDD will instead take this place even though Benje cheated by faking death, we considered it as a forfeit in which case they are still eligible for this tournament. Master1's team is able to pick their fourth member from someone who has participated in the tournament including someone from the semi finalist team in which case they will need to choose a fourth member as well. These teams are not the final ones and will most likely change as some of the people will not want to participate. In the case there are not enough members alive who want to join who participated in the tournament only Master1's team will represent us. If there are only three or less people who are willing to participate then there won't be anyone who will represent us and out region will not participate in this international tournament. Have I made myself clear?" Squad asked.
Master1's heart skipped a beat after hearing that he was potentially going to have to fight again. However after looking at Matt and Honey he quickly realised that they were not going to participate. Master1 made up his mind on the spot, he was going to forego this tournament as well. He had no need to win unlimited wealth in other regions and countries, he was happy with what he had already. However something deep inside of him kept telling him that he would be forced to participate whether he liked it or not.
End of Season 1 ABVE
Offline
Here it is Volume 2 of ABVE I added the final chapter called aftermath, this should be the last thing I post for ABVE Season 1. However I do recommend you guys to read it, you know there is always that one cheeky scene after the credits of a movie. So there is a really important piece of information at the end of this chapter as well.
Now, I do want to begin rewriting all of Season 1 of ABVE in preparation of getting it published and turned into a book. I will change a lot of names and references because of this so 10% of the story will change, mainly the discussions... the plot and the battle order will remain the same. This will also be a great way for everyone to start reading from chapter 1. Again this was a great journey and I thank you guys for sticking with me throughout all of this!
So stay tuned! There is lots to still come!
Oh and here is the credits song, this song probably related more to my story than any other ever did so here it is:

Interesting ending. Love the idea of them being put against their will to fight again. It is not explicitly stated that they will be forced, but it is implied.

What the heck is this? To much reading.
So I suppose you prefer a book that doesn't involve reading?

My point was that it's a story, so you should expect a lot of reading. You're supposed to enjoy reading it in fact.

There are going to be rare exceptions but generally a dead player in Season 1 is a dead player and most of the time will not be mentioned unless they played a significant role in Season 1 such as *spoiler*
gkabyss in which case there might be discussions going on about him. (He won't actually come back to life.)
That said, again there are going to be some rare exceptions
