Faust would be standing at the morgue, looking at his last friend. Malmy would be lying on the platform. Her eyes closed, and no life in her anymore. 
"Damn it...Why did you two have to die." Faust would growl as he hit the wall, cracking it a bit. The tournament was getting very close as of now. The Betamorions were in the lead. Only Dramstin and Connor were back for them, and they had this Delilah girl and Damien. He would look behind him to see Connor. He would be limping into the room, using his cane as he watched the dead girl.
"It's all up to Dramstin now. If he doesn't win this next fight, then we've lost the tournament. Saltorian will die, and we will go extinct. This is not a battle between Gods like the first tournament but a battle between humans. One race, trying to protect their home, and one's trying to sustain their race." Connor said.
"Let me ask you something, Connor," Faust said as he took a deep breath. Connor would not look at him but just nod.
"Why are we fighting them? Why did I have to lose those two?" Faust asked.
"For a better tomorrow for Saltorians," Connor said as he turned to Faust. Faust would just be looking at Malmy with a pained expression.
"Lose...we both share it," Connor said as he limped out of the room, allowing the cane to echo as he walked. The door closed behind him as Dramstin would be standing on the opposite end of the room, leaning up against the wall.
"Dramstin," Connor said. The boy would look up and then grin. 

A vibrant bass would be heard hit around them as Dramstin would kick off the wall, rolling his shoulder. 
"I'm ready!" Dramstin grinned. There was a big smile on his face, but there was murder in his eyes.
"Remember our deal. You get us a win, and you get out of prison." Connor said.
"Yeah!" Dramstin shouted. He would begin to walk down the hallway, every step sending out a soundwave, making the rocks on the floor shake. 
"You sure we should trust him?" Alexander asked, walking up behind Connor.
"He is one of the strongest people in our dimension, but I feel like we repeat a mistake that happened back then," Connor said.
"Allowing a serial killer into the fray?" Alexander asked.
"Yes. Saltorians biggest serial killer. Dramstin Booz." Connor said. Dramstin would laugh as he walked. His eyes, shining with excitement. 
"As long as he gets the job done..." Connor said with a nervous shiver.
"The ripper and now the roar. Two of history's biggest serial killers. The god got our people together but still. I'm doubting his choice in this one." Alexander said.
"He is a very upbeat kind of person, but he is also very scary," Lily said.
"Yeah, talking to him in this tournament, he was very normal. Scary to think he killed over thousands of people and tortured more." Alexander said. They kept their eyes on him as he walked.
"Why was he late again? I only heard he was busy." Ilfri asked as she came walking.
"He was supposedly stuck in prison. It took some time for them to get him ready for him to arrive here. I'm just glad he behaved while being here." Connor said.

Delilah would grab her guitar and play it hard. She would be sitting on the Betamorion side, playing her guitar with all her might. She would play it heavily, headbanging while she would laugh. 
"She lost it," Damien said.
"Nah. She is getting into the mood. That's how she explained it to me." Kotoha said.
"Well, we are in front. If Delilah just can win this one, then the tournament is over." Leaun said. 
"We just won two in a row. It's gonna be okay." Skabne said. Moira would be sleeping next to him, leaning up against him.
"Yeah. Just one more." Librisca said as she was walking with a cane. She had gone blind from the whole ordeal using her eyes.
"I can only see the strings' faint color now. It's kinda annoying, but I guess it's the price I pay." Librisca said with a smile. The guitar would be heard in the background.
"You're up against Dramstin Booz. Another person who utilizes music. I guess you two aren't really gonna hit it off." Iliya said. Delilah looked at her.
"I guess you will know when you meet him, but don't let your guard down," Iliya said. Delilah would strum her guitar once more, growling.
"I'm about to win us this tournament!" Delilah roared. She jumped down from the chair and walked over to the door, swinging the guitar around her back and walking out of the room.
"Dramstin, a guy who was once the most popular singer and DJ in all of Saltorain, turned into a serial killer who killed a whole concert hall while they listened to his music," Iliya said.
"Delilah, someone who spread happiness through music, fighting a guy who spread despair using music," Leaun said. 
"The two of them are gonna clash. We can only pray that Delilah comes out on top." Kotoha said.
