A gentle hush fell over the large group of players as they watched the large screen in front of them in anticipation. It lay blank, slightly reflecting the group. User walked over to the group and whispered to one of the players, "What's going on?"
"We are waiting to see who wins, there's this one guy that keeps beating everyone-." The silence was broken by a loud alarm being admitted by the black screen. A small grey circle appeared on the screen as it flickered in and out of being visible.

Players win.

Two photos appeared on the screen. One was of a figure with a face mask, wings and long black hair. The other had the default blue and yellow avatar. The figure with the wings was killed, and they had lost. The winner appeared from inside a large building, covered in blood and scratches. He huffed and wiped his bottom lip, leaving a small trail of blood on his arm. C and Wolfie looked towards him and caught his eye, he gave them a death stare then walked towards the voting room. "Who's that?" Stuttered Wolfie, "I don't know, but I think this is going to be pretty tough to beat..." Ryan walked up to the two who were still fixated on the voting building. "So, what exactly do we have to do to beat this one?"
"Kill everyone as the murder," mumbled C. "Ha! Good luck with that!" They turned around to see a boy, he had blue hair, blue wings and the Twitter bird on his shoulder. "Thaht guy who wawn the lahst guyme. hiies nyme is buck. he hahs wawn every gyme sao fah and he does ih' sao brutohly." C raised an eyebrow, his accent was really thick and hard to understand. She nodded and turned away, "Thanks, I guess..." he winked at them as they walked off.

The group met at the fountain and decided to come up with a game plan. "So, what are we gonna do about Buck?"
"Maybe we could get him on our team?" Foxy turned to User and smirked, "Alright, you go ask him then!" As he pushed User towards the voting room. User swallowed his fear and walked in, spotting Buck sharpening his knife. It was a swirl of black and purple, making it look corrupted. "Um... excuse me? Buck sir?" Buck looked up from his knife and scowled. "Yes?"
"I was wondering if... you could let me-us, win a game, you see... we need it to escape..."
"Oh, I've heard of you bozos," a lump formed in Users through, "You have?"
"Yeah, from my girlfriend." A girl emerged from around the corner, "Ugh, all the maps are so bor-," she looked at User with a shocked/angry face. "Uzoma??" User froze as his face turned white, "Um... hi, Abby..." she rolled her eyes and sat next to Buck, crossing one leg over the other. "I'm not in role play mode at the moment. You can call me Angle, I mean that is my username. Also if you followed me here to take me back then your too late. I was just role-playing then, this is my actual bf. We've met irl so it's not really online dating..." she had a smug look on her face. Her avatar wasn't too different from his role-play character. She had tanned skin, brown eyes and lips, devil horns and angel wings. "And to answer your question, I will not let you get a free win." He smirked and wrapped an arm around Angel, "Any more questions?" User shook his head and left the building, sweat dripping down his forehead.

User ran over to Foxy and grabbed him by the collar. "Foxy! Foxy!"
"What? Will, he let us win?"
"No, but, Abby's here! Which means Caroline would be too!" Foxy blinked at him. "Oh... really?" User nodded. He turned to the girls, "looks like we will have more than just Buck to worry about,"
"Fenix, is that you?"

He turned around to see a girl standing behind him. She had pale skin, blond hair, a halo and demon wings. "I- uh... yep..." Her face lit up, "I knew I recognised your voice!" She sounds so happy, it made Foxy feel bad for just leaving her at the prom. "Do you want to team up?" Her eyes sparkled as the colour of rose appeared on her cheeks. He nodded hesitantly. She smiled and giggled, "I'm so glad we could work together," she blushed and brushed a bit of her hair behind her ear, Foxy sighed.
