Glen walked into his class like it was a normal day which it wasn't. As he walked in he could feel the nervous atmosphere that filled the room. "I hope im not picked" one of kids mumbled to the person next to him "not like it would matter me and you have been training for years" said the other kid in response. Glen watches these kids knowing full well what they were talking about and feeling sorry for them because unlike him they had a family that would actually care. "At least we have a chance of survival" said a girl a little to loud causing Glen to over hear as he sat down "yeah but I'd rather not be chosen to pretisipate in the games" said anther person in the group as the door was flung open and several men walked in "it's time for the choosing, out of this class four students will be chosen at random" one of the men explained as he reached into a box in his hands. "The first person will be" the man started but Glen ignored him because he was confident he wouldn't be chosen. Glen jumped as the girl from earlier screamed as she was dragged out of the room kicking and trying to break free crying out to her friends to help her only for them to turn away causing a hurt look to appear on the girl's face as she disappeared from view. After that Glen payed attention as one of the other girls was dragged out without resistance as she just hung limp with a terrified look on her face. The next person called was the boy who said he was Hoping he wasn't picked and the instant his name was called he launched out of his chair and down the hall with two of the men on his heels. The man reached in once more and pulled out a piece of paper "and the last person is Glen" he said as two men started walking towards Glen who was on his feet instantly. Even though​ he thought he wouldn't get picked he had prepared just in case he was by hiding several knifes and other objects and with a sweep if his arm a knife shot out of his sleeve and into one of the men's arms who groaned in pain and collapsed to the floor as the other started moving faster running at Glen as quick as he could. Glen drew two knifes from his pockets and held them at the ready as the man reached forward only for a Glen to stab him in the hand only for the man to use his other hand to grab a hold of Glen's and slamming Glen into the floor causing his lungs to force all the air in them out of his body as everything went blurry from pain as his eyes rattled in his skull. Glen groaned as the man picked him up and slung him over his shoulder as they all left leaving the other kids in their classroom. Glen blacked out only to regain consciousness​ a few moments later in a metal van with the other kids in it who were all huddled in corners "good to see you finally woke up" said one of the girls with a angry expression "why are you angry at me" asked Glen not understanding why it was directed at him "Because I heard the you attacked those men as the tried to take you" said the girl standing up only to fall back down because the van was moving. "What's the problem with that" asked Glen "you could have at least helped us when they tried to grab us" the girl said as she glared at Glen as he stayed silent. "well what's done is done and we are all going to the arena so whether you like it or not your stuck here so deal with it" the guy mumbled from the corner he was in "shut up mark" the girl growled as mark glared back at her. "Hey how did you learn to fight" asked mark as he looked at Glen "I taught myself" Glen said as the trucked jerked to a stop with a loud screech. The doors were flung open a second later to reveal a stone structure "you will go in here to pretisipate in your first game, and just because it's your first doesn't mean you'll get to live" said a man as he dragged them out towards the door which was beginning to open slowly. "Wait what already I thought we would get to at least see the room we were staying in" said Glen "no you will fight another newb team to see which of you is better, oh and it's a battle to the death so fight to your strengths" said the man as the doors and he threw them into the arena the doors slamming shut instantly as the crowd cheered. Glen stood up and took in his surroundings as he looked around as he registered a table with weapons on it in front of his group and another group on the other side of the field all armed with weapons. "We just got here and we already​ have to fight for our lives" mark said standing up looking at Glen who had walked over to the table and picked up a sword. "This is light so I'll be taking this and there's a gun, a spear, and a axe" said Glen looking at his group who were making there way over to look at the weapons. "Grab your weapons the fight starts now" said a loud voice as the other team started running at them as glen went to intercept one of them as his group grabbed there weapons and ran after him. Glen blocked the first strike from the thicker sword and was flung back instantly and sent tumbling across the ground untill he slammed into a wall and stood up groaning as he realized that he was bleeding from his arm already. Glen charged at the person he had intercepted and swung again only for his blade to be hit and sent flying from his hands as he ducked under the sword and hit the person in the stomach causing them to slide back a bit. Glen realized to late that he was about to be hit as he was sent flying again and hit the wall falling to his side. Looking up Glen saw his sword along with his small group who he watched struggle to stay alive as the blocked blows from heavier weapons that sent them flying. Glen stood figuring that if he didn't do something he would be dead before he could do a thing so he walked over to his sword and pulled it out of the ground then he turned and started walking towards the person with the bulky sword. "What's wrong you gonna try hard" the kid said in a irritating voice as he swung his sword only for Glen to move to the side and swing at him. The kid moved the hilt to intercept the attack only for his hands to be cut off causing him to scream in pain as his blood gushed from the wound and turned the sand red. Glen stabbed the kid in the chest and twisted the blade causing his heart to stop and his brain to shut down as glen walked away towards mark who was using the axe against a spear and only just managing to block attacks. Glen ran forward catching the person with the Spears attention causing them to turn to attack him only for Mark to slam his axe down into the guys skull causing him to drop dead on the spot. "Thanks for the distraction Glen that gave me the chance I needed to strike" mark said as him and Glen looked at the girls who had killed their targets on their own blood dripping from the spear and from one of their arms "AND TEAM 2 HAS WON" said the voice from before as a cheer filled the arena and several men in suits ran out and dragged them to a platform which gave a rumble when they were on it as it began to sink into the ground and the floor closed above them as they were left in moving darkness.
