BFB Hunger Games [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5: The Reveal

"I have some news, guys - I can see the mountains!"

"Yay! Grassy loves mountains!"

Basketball smiled. They had been walking in the jungle for quite some time, and she was glad to see a color other than green appear. "Well, I hope we'll be able to see where we are once we climb a-"

Basketball froze. She had stepped on a landmine. Stupid. She should have been watching where she was walking. Who knows what other traps Four had laid around the arena?

Bottle came over. "What's wrong, Basketball?" Then Bottle looked down and her smile faltered. "Oh."

"Bottle," Basketball said, trying to stay calm. "I need you and Grassy to find a heavy rock and bring it over here."

Bottle regained her composure and saluted. "Yes, ma'am! Come on, Grassy!" They skipped off to the mountain edge and were gone for what felt like forever to Basketball, but was probably only a few minutes. They returned with a rock as big as Grassy.

"Ok. I need you guys to place the rock where my foot is." She shifted her foot so that only the edge was still pressing down on the mine, allowing room for the rock. Bottle gently placed it down on top of the mine, picked up Grassy, and stood back. Basketball closed her eyes and slowly lifted her foot.

Nothing happened.

"Yay!" Bottle cheered. BB breathed a sigh of relief and smiled weakly. "Let's keep going."

"Grassy agrees." And they set off yet again, soon to meet an old friend in the mountains.

After spending so long in the void biome, jumping from island to island for a day and a half, it felt weird to be on solid ground again. But Eraser was grateful for it nonetheless. He was still a bit shaken after seeing Pen fall into the void when he slipped. But he told himself to keep moving. Somehow, he stayed alive.

Now he had found a bow and a quiver full of arrows. He decided to wait in a tree for a while to see if anyone would pass by, but it took an hour for someone to do so.

Eraser heard voices and peeked through the leaves. Pencil and Ruby - perfect. He'd never shot a bow before, but there was a first time for everything. He took careful aim, slowly drawing the string back, then fired.

The arrow whizzed an inch in front of Pencil's face. She froze, then shrieked, "We're under fire! TAKE COVER!"

She and Ruby ran in circles, bumped into each other, and finally fled. Eraser managed to shoot two more arrows at them before they disappeared, laughing the whole time. "This is awesome! Maybe I should take up archery. I can't wait to tell Blocky about this!" He jumped down from the tree and chased after Ruby and Pencil.

"Have you seen Ice Cube anywhere?"

The raspy voice made Stapy jump backwards, but he sighed after realizing it was just Bracelety. How did she manage to sneak up on him like that, where there was nothing but snow behind him?

He turned around. "Jeez, Bracelety. You shouldn't scare me like that."

"Sorry. But have you seen Icy?"

"I haven't, although your best bet would probably be to look in this place." He stuck a thumb over his shoulder, back to the snowy area behind him. "She would probably feel at home there."

"Thank you!" Bracelety ran off. Stapy was about to continue up the mountain, but he realized that he could increase his chances of winning. "Actually, I think I see her in the distance!"
