Scotty Love’s POV

[G.O.B.] ROUND 1

[G.O.B.] 3

[G.O.B.] 2

[G.O.B.] 1

[G.O.B.] GO!

      “AND THERE OFF!”

“Yellow has an early lead on Blue!”

        “BUT WAIT! Blue is slowly gaining on Yellow!”

“You know what Scotty. It looks like Yellow has an engine failure.”

        “That can only be good for Blue”

“Yellow even got out of his car to check his engine and looks like he flagged down his helper bot.”

        “Well they better hurry up, cause Blue is long gone and on his second lap.”

“How is Yellow ever going to catch up?!”

        “Well, his car is made for heavy duty acceleration, right?”

“Yeah… So?”

        “It’s possible for him to catch up in the third lap if he puts the pedal to medal.”

“WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! Yellow’s back on track and is making up for lost time!”

~~~Unnecessary Time Skip~~~

 

Scotty Love’s POV

        “THEY’RE NECK AND NECK COMING DOWN THE FINAL STRETCH!”

“And the winner is…”

[G.O.B.] BLUE IS THE WINNER

“BLUE!”

~~~Time Skip to Last Game~~~

 

Scotty Love’s POV

        “Welcome back! Since we last left off, Blue and Yellow are tied at five points a piece. This will be the final match and tie breaker. The winner of this game will earn Etho’s undying love.”

“Well that’s a weird prize, but we’re not here to judge!”

        “Um, actually we are.”

“You know what I mean.”

        “Anyways, we’re here at Mount Rocko. This is where they will be playing EXTREME King of the Hill! And let me remind you that this is a 60,849 km drop if you fall from the top.”

“And don’t you mean Mountain?” *nudge nudge*

        “Haha. Very funny.”

“For this game, all pain and life ‘rules’ will be disable so no one is serious injuries.”

~~~ Time Skip~~~

Seth’s POV

        I was almost at the top when, suddenly I see Nebris on the other side and we scramble to top. I slash at him, but he parried it. He fires an arrow at me. I dodge, but I am to slow. Then I feel a sharp blast of pain as I am falling. This can’t be right. I’m not suppose feel pain. I hit the ground and everything goes blurry. I hear voices in the distance, but I can’t quite make them out. Then the world blacks out.

Etho’s POV

        “SETH!” I yell.

        “WHY IS HE BLEEDING?!”

        “DON’T JUST STAND THERE! CALL 911!”

        I break down and sob.

        “Seth, ple– please don’t leave me. I love you. I– I need you.”
