One foot after the other, I ran as steadily as I could across the cobblestone bridge, which reached for what seemed like miles.

"Hurry" I called, barely managing to say the full word without wheezing.
After spotting JeromeASF on the island directly beside us, me and Skydoesminecraft turned around and broke off into a full on sprint.
He was Rank S at least, maybe even more. There was no way two B class players could take him down. We stood no chance against him, so we did the only thing any sane player would do— Run for our god damned lives.

"The teaming system is stuffed up" Sky panted from behind. He had a big stamina so he didn't seem very tired, which didn't surprise me. "Putting a Rank triple S and S together in the same team is fucking insane"
"Tell me about it" I replied, clutching my iron sword tighter in my hand. Speaking of which, where was Jerome's teammate?
"Is he still behind us?" I asked.

A few seconds passed, which I assumed was Sky turning his head around.

"Shit shit shit!" he panicked. Oh no, this didn't sound good.
"He's behind us! He's behind us right!?" I yelled back.
"Dude he's right fucking behind us, fucking RUN!"

Without hesitation, I quickened my pace and began sprinting. Ignoring my surroundings and my burning throat, my vision cleared and I focused on only what was ahead. My only goal right now was to run as fast as I could and not look back.
Sky however had a different approach.

"This isn't good man I'm going to fucking fall oh my god oh my god!!"
"Shut up and just run!!"
Just then, I heard a THWAK, which was followed by a pained grunt.
"Fuck!" Sky heaved, "Log, he shot me!"
"Just keep running man!"

Now that we knew that Jerome had a bow, this situation has gotten even worse. Neither me nor Sky had any long ranged weapons. I could try throwing my sword at him, but that would be a big risk since I could miss and lose my weapon.

"Hold on.." I narrowed my eyes, "There's an island ahead! We're close to land!"

An arrow zoomed right past me, only about an inch away from my ear. Jerome wasn't messing around. But land was almost ahead. We can do this.
On the floating island was a few trees and chests, but from what I could see there was nobody; the place looked isolated. Either it's been raided or we're the first ones.

I heard another THWAK, and this time Sky moaned louder.

"I'm gonna die!"
"No you're not!! Just keep running, we're almost there!"

It was only a couple blocks ahead now. I arched over and leaned forward, breaking off into one last sprint. Bracing myself, I did a leap of faith and landed safely on the grassy island. Luckily, Sky put a little more distance between us and Jerome. Sky's face seemed tenser than usual, and then I realised why- He had a plan up his sleeve.
I got my weapon ready for a fight and watched as Sky leaped into the air for a tree. His hands gripped onto a branch, sliding his fingers around it to get a good hold. He kicked his legs forward and leaned back, swinging on the tree. After repeating the process a few times, he released and swung back, landing on top of the tree as if he were a monkey.

"This.. is for taking my butter!!" He screamed, taking aim and throwing his golden sword at Jerome. With the height advantage, he was able to perfectly hit Jerome in the stomach, which sent him stumbling and falling off the bridge.
"Hell yeah! You just killed Jerome!" I exclaimed, reaching for a high five as Sky jumped off the tree.

"First place is in our hands baby!" He cheered back.

"Actually, I'd say top ten at least. If we kill Technoblade and manage to stay alive then we're guaranteed first place"
