ELE

Chapter 9: Certainty.

I wake up, the light of the room flooding my eyesight.

Shell! I thought, turning my head over to check on her.

She was sound asleep, and so was everyone else.

I guess since I got hurt the least, I wake up the fastest.

I get up, careful not to make a sound.

The door out of this arena looked bent, as if someone tried to get in while we were asleep.

I examine the door, trying to gauge the sound it would make if I opened it.

I go to open the door.

Creakkkkkkkk... The door opens oddly, to a dark hallway.

The usual bustling casino was fully dark.

Shooing this odd occurrence out of my head, I conjure a starfire orb, making a small light.

I walk up and down the hallway, not a soul to be seen.

I open a random arena door to a room full of blood.

"Creepy." I think to myself as I walk out.

Now that I noticed it, the walls were kinda red.

I walk out of the arena rooms to the slots section of the casino.

A huge weight bears down on me.

"Oh?" An ominous voice bellows.

Out from the shadows comes Nebulon, who seemed to be eating a person.

"Forgot to eat you guys." He looked troubled.

"YOU LITTLE!" I ran away from him, knowing I could never beat him.

"No, little one. You cannot run." He ran towards me.

I open the door to ARENA-SSS trying to wake everyone up.

"Come on!" I heard his footsteps getting closer.

"Huh? What?" Shell was the first to wake, hearing the footsteps immediately shutting her up.

"Yawn." Zilla wakes up soon after, his face getting red from feeling the pressure nearby.

"What's up!" Ojo springs upward, unsheathing her katana when she hears footsteps.

"Alright" Olo was already up, fixing the lights.

And so Nebulon ran into a room of mad, battle-ready people.

"Hello there little ones." His face was twisted with pure evil.

"I'm feeling hungry." He grinned, stomping the ground with his feet.

"Well then." Zilla starts.

"Eat this!" Ojo finishes. She runs toward Nebulon, readying her katana with water.

She slices right through Nebulons chest, leaving a small scratch.

"First time I've ever been hurt that badly. Congrats." He forms a fist barreling it towards Ojo.

Right before it hits Ojo, a gust of wind pushes the fist away.

"Now, why am I late to the party!" Jon jumps in behind Nebulon.

"Now eat this you weird imposing freak!" He blasts Nebulon with his shotgun, horribly damaging one of his eyes.

"Gahhhh!" Nebulon slaps Jon away into the wall.

"Thanks Jon!" Nebulon turns to see a rain of katana's flying towards his face.

I jump over the katana's, sending a beam of starfire with the property to destroy.
