Mountain struck first. He swiftly cut his arm in the air, leaving wind to injure Nala. Nala deflected it by raising her arms, which made the ground shake and two boulders blasted through the ice, blocking the slice. She leaped on top of the rock and two small pieces of stone floated in the air. Nala made the stones shoot towards Mountain. He quickly dodged it and ran towards Nala. He created a blast of air, causing Nala to slam against the glass wall. She fell down, and weakly got up, her arms scarred. I watched them continue to fight as the crowd went wild.

So this fucking girl up on the pedestal wants to see people fight? Bitch. My heart raced as they struck more attacks. The black haired girl watched with me, her dark eyes glittering in the sunlight. She looked at me after a few moments. "My name is Ashley, by the way." she said, and slightly smiled. I was too shocked to respond. Nala punched Mountain roughly, and sent him flying in the air. He harshly fell onto the icy ground, and caused it to slightly crack. He attempted to get up, but after a few moments, he fell back down. Nala walked up to him, and stopped. She glared at Mountain, and did the final blow. She took a large and sharp piece of stone, and jabbed him in the chest,

killing him.

A bell rang and the crowd cheered. How the fuck can they be overjoyed? People are DYING, for fuck's sake! Another silver armored guard ran across the ice and picked Mountain up, and dragged him over to his gate, and left a trail of blood behind. As the gate closed, Nala raised her fist in victory, making the crowd explode in cheers. The girl on the pedestal grinned pleasingly as she clapped. What. The. Fuck.
The announcer finally spoke. "The winner is Nala! The next round comes Ashley from the Fire Kingdom!" Ashley glanced at me and smiled. She stepped out of our gate and walked up to Nala, and her cuffs disappeared. "One. Two. Three. FIGHT!" As she stretched her arms, Nala attacked. She got a piece of rock and shot it towards Ashley. Ashley dodged the stone and quickly attacked her with a huge flame. Nala backed away, but her dress partly caught fire. She screamed and fell on the ice, trying to put it out. Ashley then pinned her to the ice and got ready to attack. As her hand slowly filled with fire, Nala weakly slammed Ashley away with a stone ledge. When Ashley got hit, her arm automatically shot a burst of fire into Nala. The crowd yelled and whistled. They both fell back. Nala screamed. Ashley bled.

As the fire slowly went out, Nala died. She lay there, scorched to the bone. Ashley crawled up to Nala, but quickly fell. "It seems like Ashley is the winner!" Announced the speaker. The crowd cheered. Oh. My. God. Ashley? She seemed like a pro. She's even from my own Kingdom. I...think she's alive. The guard walked up to Nala and they both disappeared. Another guard came up to Ashley and dragged her to a gate with a Red Cross on it. I don't get it. They think this is 'thrilling'? C'mon, people. Get some sane thoughts in your head. My body shook. If I come out there, I'll have to-
"Next up, Milli from the Fire Kingdom! Boy, there are a lot of them!"
Fuck.
For a moment, I refused to come out. But then a violent whisper came from the left. "GO, you idiot!" It hissed. I gulped and slowly and carefully stepped out on the ice. The crowd cheered and clapped. Thank you for letting me fuck up a person. I stand there, nervous as fuck. Huh. Can't believe I'm not slipping on the ice.

Another gate creaked open. I saw a guy with ice blue hair placed in a ponytail with a white sweater and tannish pants, and he wore an black eyepatch. He walked out on the ice and looked at me. Why did this guy look so...familiar? I don't know what is it...

"Next up, Buzzard from our beloved Water Kingdom!"

I froze, my body going numb. Did he just say....Buzzard? Oh my god. My heart raced so fast you can basically see it pounding through my shirt. We both stared at each other, eyes both wide in shock. Wha- how- WHAT? So many thoughts thundered in my head. My head ignored the noise from the audience.

"BOOOOOO!!"
"FIGHT, you losers!"
"Burn his face!"
"Drown her!"
"Freeze her to death!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Okay, will you shut up for one second? This guy.
Is my brother. My head hurts when I say it. Brother. Brother...
How? Shouldn't he be dead? Why isn't he injured? I clearly remember that I...Burned his leg off....
But both of his legs were fine.
Please get me out of here.
The girl on the pedestal frowned and mumbled a deadly threat. I don't care. Buzzard...

He's alright.
Buzzard shook his head and skidded back to his gate which immediately opened. "Great," I heard the girl say, "I knew we shouldn't have put those two together..." She growled.
I pulled myself together after a long moment of silence.

"Oh yeah? Fuck you! This arena is actually the REASON YOU GUYS ARE INSANE!!" I yell, remembering E.J and the Creepypasta. God. I jumped high into the air, giving myself a boost with a burst of flames. I break through the glass ceiling while the crowd booed and frowned. I fell down and slid down the roof. As I fell onto the snowy ground, my head filled with worry. Did I do the right thing?
At least I got away from that horrid place.

I looked around. I saw a few wooden cottages, but nothing more. Snow covered everything in sight, and the trees were all just twigs and branches. Hah. They call this the Water Kingdom? I walked away from the arena and kept going to...nowhere in particular. The snow crunched and screeched beneath my boots. My jaws clenched together how cold it was. Fuck. I'm stranded here. What now? Stay here? I sighed, letting out a puff of mist. I shake, my legs getting goosebumps from the cold weather. The Fire Kingdom was a long was from here, so that's obviously crossed off. I heard footsteps behind me, so I turned around, ready to attack.
It was just...Buzzard..

"Hey."
I take a deep breath. His voice seems so..solemn. "I know...I'm...yeah," he stutters. I nod, still shaking in the cold. He looked at me with his sad...eye. Yeah. "I'm so, so, so, so sorry," I say, my voice shaking. Oh god. This must've been the most difficult moment ever. "It's alright...Heh..I mean, I'm fine now, right?" He weakly smiled. I smiled back. "Yeah..."

We stood there in silence for a few moments. Then I finally just do it. I run up to him and hug him, squeezing him tightly. Hey, I couldn't resist, alright? Buzzard hesitates for a while, and then hugged me back. It's amazing how much love and warmth came across us.

I found him.

He's alright.
He's...Buzzard.
