The Arachne tribe

"Prison Break, Part 1 and 2"

Rumi POV: 

Another day, another game to play. 

Stepping into my platform, it activates and I float alongside the others. 

We all flew our way to the stadium doing another dramatic entrance, and we are all settled in a circle. 

But then the circles under our platform began to rise. 

'Why does everything have to be in a riddle or a puzzle?' I thought already getting tired of these brain-aching quizzes. 

And just then red lasers appeared and now it looks like we're in a cell. 

I was confused and alarmed about why this is happening and it seemed the others are too. 

And then Alt 332 appeared. "Running Man contestants and everyone in the audience, it's nice to meet you all." 

The crowd cheered in response. 

I saw Lonkey trying to get out but instead got electrocuted.

I winced at the pain he must've felt, I mean why are we locked up anyways? 

"I have electrophobia. Let me go right now! Let me go!" Popo exclaiming whined to which I will always find annoying. 

"Will you be quiet?" Miyo scolded. 

"They could lock up our bodies, but they can't do that to our souls." Gai cornily stated as Miyo facepalmed at him. 

"At least tell us what we've been jailed for?" Pala asked. 

"Contestants have been imprisoned for contempt of the ultimate Takji!" Alt 332 explained. 

"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion like all the others. 

The panel showed us a video of what happened in yesterday's game with all of us trying to flip the Ultimate Takji which we all failed to do sans Kuga. 

Now that it was elaborated I think that the charge was ridiculous.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with flipping the Ultimate Takji.

"What!?" 

"No way! Kuga was the only one who flipped the Ultimate Takji!" Popo protested.

"He's right! Lock him up on behalf of everyone." Lonkey agreed. "and please let me go. I have to go to the rest--" Lonkey pleaded but got hanged up by Kuga. 

Oh, how I wish I could web their mouths. 

"You all challenged the Ultimate Takji. So you're all charged for contempt of Ultimate Takji." Alt 332 elaborated. 

"This is just ridiculous." I muttered. 

"Agreed." The others concurred. 

"All right, now. Let me present the host of this game, Mr. Charming Gold!" Alt 332 introduced. 

Once again Charming Gold made a dramatic entrance with all the camera's on him. 

"It's a pleasure, Running Man contestants. Round three if the individual match is Escape Race." 

"Escape Race?" We all questioned in confusion. 

"It's a race to escape from the Ultimate Tower, where no one can escape. Only one person who escapes the tower will become the winner of this round." Charming Gold elaborated as the crowd cheered. 

"Running Man Championship, round three of the individual match. Let the game begin!" He exclaimed doing his signature dramatic pose. 

Charming gold summons the Ultimate tower as it rose. It's like the memorial tower except the obstacle is different.
