Lr stories part 1: Power royale

Chapter 46: Money Run, Part 2

The shrinking arena had become a gauntlet of danger and desperation. As the area continued to compress, the remaining competitors were forced into increasingly tighter quarters, amplifying the tension and peril of every encounter.

William Dangerfield and Angelo Vasquez made their way through the dense underbrush of the ever-decreasing battlefield. The metallic clinks of William's metal manipulation were a constant reminder of his readiness, while Angelo's animalistic instincts kept him on high alert.

Angelo's sharp eyes scanned the surrounding woods. "We need to stay on our toes," he warned, his voice laced with urgency. "This place is crawling with potential threats."

Just then, the pair heard a faint, rhythmic sound—a bouncing noise. William's eyes narrowed, and he motioned for Angelo to stop. From the dense foliage, Jessy Jamaica emerged, her rubbery limbs stretching and bouncing with an almost unnatural fluidity.

"Jessy Jamaica!" Announcer 1's voice boomed over the arena's loudspeakers, "The queen of elasticity herself! Watch as she bounces into action with her incredible rubber powers!"

Announcer 2 added, "Despite her impressive combat abilities, she's proven to be elusive and hard to hit. Let's see how she fares against William and Angelo!"

Jessy's movements were erratic, making her a difficult target. She bounced and twisted with alarming agility, her limbs stretching to slap away or dodge any attack. As William and Angelo closed in, Jessy's resilience became clear. Each attack they threw at her was either deflected or avoided with her rubbery flexibility.

William's frustration was palpable. "Dammit, she's fast," he growled, his metal shields clanging as he tried to cover Angelo's approach.

Angelo transformed into a cheetah to gain speed but found it challenging to land a hit. Jessy's body contorted and stretched to avoid his swipes. She managed to knock William off balance with a well-placed stretch of her arm that sent him crashing into a nearby tree.

Jessy's evasiveness and endurance were impressive, but her constant movement drained her stamina. Each bounce and stretch took its toll, and though she was difficult to land a decisive blow on, it was clear she was struggling to keep up the pace.

"Keep pushing," Angelo urged, his voice a mix of encouragement and exhaustion. He circled Jessy, attempting to cut off her escape routes.

William, getting back on his feet, reinforced his metal shields and prepared for a more strategic approach. "We need to corner her," he said. "She can't keep this up forever."

The battle continued with Jessy evading their attacks with remarkable skill, but her energy was clearly waning. As the arena's borders closed in around them, the stakes grew higher. The moment of truth was approaching, and Jessy's fate seemed increasingly precarious.

The chapter ended with Jessy trapped in a shrinking zone, her movements becoming more desperate as William and Angelo closed in, determined to claim the prize for themselves.
