Zero x One [CANCELED]

Win Or Die

I canceled this, but figured "why not post everything that was unfinished just because?" So yeah, I did this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Onyx and Technoblade and the others were surrounded except for one door; Techno and the Magnorite helped Tommy walk over to the opening as everyone else had made it ahead of them. Journeyman had vanished, but Techno remembered seeing his hand come through the cloak. It was grey, but that could have meant a number of things. None of them were good.

Tommy was laid against a wall to regain his strength while Onyx stood next to him, Techno leaning against the wall on the other side of the entrance, which had closed once everyone entered. Two other humans were with Onyx and Tommy, while Tygren and Kiyoshi stood with Techno, along with another human. 

"Alright, so he just vanished. Meaning there's no way of knowing where he is," Kiyoshi stated.

Techno sighed. "Why didn't I just stay home..."

As he thought about where he would be if he had, a blue barrier erected between Techno's side and Tommy's side of the doorway. It was translucent, but when Techno called out to Tommy, he didn't think the boy could hear him. Tommy had gotten up and was trying to punch through the barrier, but to no avail. The sounds of the impact were audible, though nothing else was; they sounded like glass being broken, but somehow reversed.

"Techno, there's only one place we can go from here. We're at the turning point of a corridor, so if we go in the only other direction we can, it's safe to assume there's something there for us," Kiyoshi alerted Techno. 

Techno got up. He would likely be able to meet Tommy again on the other side, and there was a high chance that Kiyoshi was right. The man followed Tygren and the Felina down the corridor, hoping to find at least something.

Tommy, Onyx, and the others made their way toward the other end of the corridor. There was no large area for either of the groups to reunite. Just an empty room. Well, they thought it was empty. After entering, they all realized that there were weapons of all kinds lining one of the walls; the one that was presumably separating the two groups.

Adjacent to the weapon display was a shooting range. It was self-explanatory as to what its purpose was, but it all put Tommy on edge. All of this felt uneasily suspicious.

"What do you think of all this?" Tommy turned around and saw who asked the question. It was the other person in his group, whom he hadn't actually spoken to.

"I don't like it at all. I mean, the fact that we need weapons tells me something dangerous will obviously be on the other side of that door. I dunno about you, but that's something anyone would feel worried about," he responded.

The boy nodded. "Yeah..."

"Actually, I don't think I got your name. Or hers." Tommy gestured towards the girl who was talking to Onyx earlier.

"Oh, right. I'm Blaze; the girl's Ava, we talked a bit while everyone waited for you and that other guy to arrive."

Tommy nodded. "I'm A- Tommy."

Blazes raised an eyebrow. "You're a Tommy?"

"No, just Tommy."

"Huh... okay." Blaze shrugged.

Tommy and Blaze both looked at the weapons hung on the wall. Ava and Onyx walked over to them, the four each eyeing different weapons. Tommy took a spear from the wall, twirling it as the group stepped back. Unfortunately, he accidentally jammed it into the wall. Onyx tried to pry it out, but accidentally brok the shaft.

The Magnorite shrugged. "Your own weapons are worth more anyways." He walked off.

Blaze had taken a sword and was striking the air with it, however incredibly poorly. He lightly cut himself, at which point he sucked up most of the blood, which wasn't much, and started practicing much more carefully.

Ava, however, had decided to take a taser. Tommy didn't notice until the pins were inside of Blaze,
