Facing The New Age

9: Followed... (1/2)

Holy sheit. 3k reads... Shocker

You know, looking back at my old chapters, remembering my old account, and seeing myself til now just shows me on how much I improved over time... And I am sure damn glad.

And hopefully I can do the same for future projects... Like one right now.
——————————————

It has been 2 days since the announcement of me being a reward for this event. Its only the matter of 3 more days until the finals.

It was very early in the morning and I was wake. Along with the idols as well. "You're awake already?" Pearl said. "Not dead at least." I Said.

Callie was making breakfast while Marie, Marina, and Pearl were prepping themselves for their news or something. Probably an update about the event.

I decided to check on the leaderboard on my phone, and surprisingly, There's a bunch of teams putting in so much effort. But Marie told me the that the plan is going to shift a little to make it more interesting and intense.

Basically, there will be a top 50. And the leaderboard will be cut shorter each hour until there's only 4 teams left... With a twist. After choosing 4 teams, they have to get 4 more teammates in order to be in the finals.

The finals will be held in a secret underground arena much more bigger then the rest. Means more obstacles and maybe, traps.

I will be in the middle while the teams have their own corner. The goal is to whichever team covers me with their own ink color, or the arena the most, they win. The match will last about 25 minutes.

I have to survive their attacks and I can use my scythe, if I can find a way to make it splat them, not kill them. If I can't find a way, then I have use one of their weapons. There will be some small pools for me to get into to clean myself to make it more difficult if the teams.

Not only that, but my friends while secretly have cannons that shoot water balloons to the arena to make it hella intense and difficult.

And to be honest, it sounds really fun.

Me and my friends were staying in the idols place than staying in the camp we had. And to be honest, I forgot our vehicles existed. Anyway, I decided it was time for me to take care of my scythe problem.

"Hey Callie." I Said. "Yeah what's up?" She responded.

"Is there a way for me to make my scythe to splat? Because it's originally make for killing."

"Hmm. I'm not an expert on this type of stuff, but I know someone who might help."

"Really? Well can we go meet them?"

"Well if you want to. And I think we have enough time to go. But you have to keep yourself hidden."

"Don't you have too as well?"

"Yeah I do. But my disguise always works so it wouldn't be much of a problem. Let me finish up breakfast and we'll be good to go."

I nodded and went to get my stuff ready while Callie was finishing up. Later on she went to change into her 'disguise'.

"Saber, take care of them. I'll be back soon," I Said. "This goes to all of you." I added to the rest of the pack. They nodded.

"Where ya headed?" Riley Asked. He surprised me because I thought he was still asleep. "Me and Callie are going to meet someone who can help with my scythe. I'll be back soon enough." I Said. "Can I go too?" Agent 4 Asked.
