V & V - Rageous Rageon Rise

j a y e b e e

Rollie POV:

I don't see the boys follow me up here; instead, a light hum rings out above my head.

My heart jumps in fear as I see two vibrant green eyes glow up from the second floor.

It's Midori.

Yet she looks deranged.

Her hair is jagged and frizzy, and her once cute pigtails are now messy. She has a long, black-stained grin, her teeth reflected from her glowing eyes.

Her shirt I lent her is tattered and torn. Never mind how expensive that shirt was, because it actually kind of really was, but, you know, that's beside the point; she looks INSANE.

I hold statue still, my heart pounding as loud as a canon as I watch her eyes scan the arena.

I hold still, hoping I look enough like a frozen Rageon for her not to think of me as anything to check out.

m i d o r i: ^m m... m m m... m m... h u h?!^

I hear her gasp, seeing as her eyes lock on me. They disappear, the sound of her feet running towards the stairs scaring the fuck out of me.

I run across the stage to the other side, desperately looking for a place to hide. I run until I trip over something, nearly falling to the floor before I do a forward roll.

I tripped over some sort of handle. I pull it, seeing it's a latch to a door on the floor. This must be an entrance!

I climb down the ladder, shutting the door over my head. I hold onto the rungs of the ladder, trying to get my heart to stop pumping so hard.

I'll just wait here, and once I think it's been enough time, I can come out and get the rest of the gang to know I found the entrance.

Fred POV:

I stress the fuck out as I hear Midori gasp; she must have seen Rollie! I need to help him, but fuck, I need to get Ritz and Ven to safety as well!

I debate mentally, cursing myself internally as I grab Ven's hand, running with him away from the monitor room.

Rollie's smart; he knows the layout of the monitor room well while Ven does not. I run Ven up the arena steps, hearing Kid Ritz behind me.

I run until we reach the bathroom. I rush Ven inside, putting him into the last stall like I did with Rollie.

Fred: "Stay here. I'll have Kid Ritz wait with you-"

As I whisper it, I hear a loud laugh from outside the bathroom... immediately realizing that it's not Midori.

I race into the stall with Ven, closing the door in a panic as I realize Ritz isn't in here with us.

Ven breathes in a panic behind me, his hands wrapped around my neck in terror as he stands on the toilet seat.

I hold one of his arms with my left hand, the right trained at the door with my gun.

I listen as a man's voice laughs again, the sound growing faint as he runs away.

Ven: "T-That's J-Jaye."

Fred: "Jaye?"

Ven: "Jaye B-Bee."

My heart jumps as I realize the Sage Boyz aren't the only ones we have to worry about now. If that's Jaye Bee, and he's no doubt been turned like Midori, then that means there could be Rageons like Phat Sammy turned as well!

I try to think things through, my head hurting. I need to find Rollie and, now, Kid Ritz. I practically dragged Ven in here; my legs are so long and fast I didn't think about him not being able to keep up with me.
