The LIFE OF PICTY

As the door open and the light passes through the tunnel and hits the faces of the contestants, they take a deep breath and start moving towards the light and on reaching the entry they see that it was a huge stadium for sports but used as a colosseum, but only difference is it has huge space with multiple terrains and holograms to watch the fight. On their entry the announcer begins his announcement. This is your all-time favorite announcer the super, fantastic and handsome Mr. Announcer the third and it's a grand day, as this is the biggest game in the history of Tricot and the black market, now let's meet the contestant's, we have quite the line up here and let me introduce them, at first it's the first lieutenant commander Slyzdger Kyptor of the first division, he is said to be called the most admired and strongest in the A.A.B. He took down a whole division of sergeant level ability users in the last war of Cynfelyn and was awarded the title of Lieutenant. Next up we have former first in command to the revolutionary army Milogost Ethelbert, he used to be the top elite member of the former leader of the resistance Leondra Red's bodyguard team. It is said he took down seven military bases of the Peoples Artillery Army and countless bases of neighboring country and is declared as one of the most dangerous person of the revolutionary army. And in last we have a ghost which no one knows about except the top members of the Peoples Artillery Army, but we have got quite skilled information gatherers, so let me introduce Picty, a prisoner of the Peoples Artillery Army and the person who defeated the great Captain Filip gracious, the sixth general of the clown parade gang. It is said he possess speed, superstrength and lightning abilities. Now that I have introduced the team up let's see the reward money everyone has been waiting for and gathered here for, let the numbers roll on the screen but before that, lets see anyone wishes to join the game as after its revealed the entry ticket will be double the price so tick tok people get your entry tickets soon, trust me you won't be dissappinted.

Now that time is up let the number come on the screen. Picty with a tense look, both of you did u come up with a plan or read the rule book, I have a feeling something is wrong here. Milo says with a serious tone, I have the same feeling and by the look of the preparation they have done it possible we cannot win if we fight head on, what are your thoughts Slyzdger? I feel the same, I thought it will be something small with a few rounds but by look of the stadium the top dogs will be participating, how much is the reward money? that they spend so much of their resources for one game. As the numbers roll out the whole stadium is in shock, the announcer starts sweating as he sees the number that he chokes, and words doesn't come from his mouth. Picty shocked as he sees the number he says, is that nine zeros after that number two. Slyzdger in a tense voice says, even the richest man in the country do not have that much money, why is it given out as a reward, Milo does the revolutionary army have that many resources. Not in a million years, its true revolutionary army have very profitable business across the country but not as profitable to give away this much money as reward, it has to be joke or some error on the screen, there is no way anyone can make this money transaction and not even a fly knowing about it. Picty in a slow voice, they are serious, look at that king smiling egoistically, he is loving every second of this and most probably this fight is being broadcasted all around the planet. The announcer gets holds himself and announces as tears flow down his eyes, I have received word that there is no error and who ever kills these three will get their portion of the money and there will now be an auction for the entry tickets and there are only ten tickets left so everyone get their bids on. And there are several games like voting for our audience who wishes to make money put your bets on any category you wish and if u get it right you will get a thirty percentage of the total money collected on that category, so let the grand games begin with the siren from the king himself. Picty thinks for a while and tells, if I am right this is not reward money but something as equal as the reward money and we are in deep trouble, so there is only one way. the king gives the final siren to begin the match.

Picty keeps his arm around the other two and says, protect me boys and we can win. Slyzdger looks at Picty and says, I don't think I have a choice here, call me SLY from now on.

Well now that's our beloved, brave and charismatic king has given the signal let's start the round before then let me explains the enthusiastic crowd the rules. The game is called "don't die" it is simple team vs team match where the person who dies is eliminated. If the opposing team eliminates our prize stars then they get the money or else it's death. If our prize stars survive 3 rounds they win and get the prize reward for themself or else it's the reaper that awaits them.

The participants of rounds are based on the highest bidder choice and they have choose to enter in the last round "will it be a wrong decision or the right we will know soon"

The first round we have an interesting match, it called the Revenge Match and why do you ask, the participants are none other than the members of the Cloud parade gang, they are here for blood of our very own ghost.

Ten members come from the opposite door all angry and all of their eyes cold, staring at one person. It was like the eyes of an animal waiting for it's prey to weaken. Among the ten people one person comes out with the most intense look.

So you are the person who killed our leader, he was like a father to us, so get ready we won't make this an easy death.

Picty with a calm voice and a smile said, that is if you can beat my weapon. Milo smiles and says_ Slyzdger I'll Handel this you take rest.

Don't take too long, or I will have to clean up after you.

Milo starts to walk slowly and suddenly the air starts to harden like a weight has been placed on the chest.

Picty-what is this feeling? Sly- that is the living aura of that man, there is a reason he is dangerous and you will find out soon.

Milo suddenly dissappear and reappear behind the clown parade gand and all of them just drops dead in an instant.

Milo- in a deep voice, I always hated your gang, it kind of feel nice to kill a few.

The whole stadium goes silent and in shock of what has happened, people hand shaking in fear and the air smell of blood and heaviness causing some of them to even faint.

The announcer suddenly snaps out and screams- the match is over and winner is our defenders. A match which ended in few seconds, a match that brought shame to the clown parade gang, a match that shows the true power of the standards the revolutionary army holds. The match will continue after few short maintenence break.

SLY- took you long, I got bored waiting.

Milo- I did not want to dirty the arena and give time for other participants to come up with a plan.

Picty in a confusing look asked- are you guys even human? You sliced people like slicing butter.

Sly- wait you saw what he did?

Picty- yes the sword skills was amazing

Milo- so, its true you have Red's power, he is the only person I know who has the ability to see my moves.

Announcer- we just got news the second round has been cancelled as the contestants have call it quits. Who would not be after the last round. But here the third round contestants are not and this round is called as the assassins blood.

The contestants are none other than the top dogs of the AAP here for our ghosts blood. Looks like he is very popular. He is like a cake where everyone wants a slice except everyone wants to slice him lol lol.

Three comtestants comes out and by there presence itself felt dealth, the whole crowd going wild waiting for the fight they have been anticipating.

Sly- what are you three doing here? Hema, jemma, Rema.

Hema- is it not obvious we are here for the person who humiliated us in court, the General has ordered his head.

Sly- This is against the court orders, of the judge is to learn about this, we are certain to get punished.

Jemma- this is not an official mission, we three are currently fighting against some bandits north 90km from this spot.

Rema- even if we are caught, with this cash prize any punishment can be withheld even the death sentence.

Milo- Picty, do u see the corruption of these people, this is why I served the resistance. They believe nobody can touch them and everybody can be brought, well I shall show them true pain today.

Sly- Not a chance, you took the last fight, this time it my turn. It look like I need to disapline some of my comrads.

Hema- SLY, stand down we are comrads we have a common enemy and its time we bury him. We can pin the blame on D.A.B.

Sly- I have made a promise to keep him safe, my promise is my word. If you don't stand down i shall kill you without mercy.

Announcer- Drama, Drama let's begin the fight already. Before that let's begin the voting for this match. Once the bids are done.

Let the games begin.

As soon as the signal was given the Hema, jemma, Rema take up there weapons, hema holding a hammer, jemma holding a pocket knife and jemma holding a small tissue paper.

Sly just moves one step forward and smiles and says looks like you got upgrades. It does not matter, I am more than enough for you.

The three warriers without wasting time goes straight for picty but is blocked by sly. And with one full swoop he break the weapons.

Sly then goes for a punch which does not connect but three off them gets pushed back. All three off then starts vomiting blood.

Hema- we knew you were strong but I did not expect to be this difference in our power.

Rema- I think it's time to take it.

Jemma- can it be trusted.

Hema- looks like we have no choice.

They take a tablet out of there pockets which was ominous looking and eat it. Suddenly huge rush of power flows through them there eyes turn black hair trun red. A neck tattoo appears with 2 lines marking an X.

All three of them where looking completely different from before. And suddenly they dissappear and reappear in from of sly and barrage him with punches. Sly still keeping up by doing those punches but some get through and get injured.

Three of them raises there arms up and there ability activated. Hema hands get covered in fire, Rema hand get cover in water, jemma hand get covered in black air.

After seeing this Milo steps forward.

Sly- what u think you are going to do? I can handle this myself.

Milo- as much I want to see you get beat up. The situation is different, I was ambushed by people with similar looking appearance and they are not easy to defeat. Something wrong about those pills and its better we fight together.

Sly- I am not stupid, to throw away an expressed fighter judgement. For this once lets fight alongside . Picty stand back, we will handle this. Picty? Picty?

Picty had disappeared

Where is he? Where did he go?

Milo- he is here, don't worry I have a plan.

The three red monsters charged against the two and land multiple punched. Both of them hold back them back.

Sly-If we both use our ability, it will bring this whole place down and kill picty in the process, we need to decide fast on who will use the ability.

Milo- they are your subordinates use yours. Picty will be ready for it.

Sly- for what?

Milo- you will know.

Sly closes his eyes for a few seconds and opens them and his eyes glowing blue, he releases enormous amount of energy and shows his palm, but nothing happens.

Sly- what is happening, why can't I use my ability.

Suddenly the climate starts to change dark clowds emerge and a circle emerges around the the three monsters, a huge blue lightning strikes the charring there body.

Sly in a shocked looked, Milo smiling, suddenly picty appears next to SLY and falls to the ground gasping.

Sly- what is happening here? Picty answer me? Picty?

Milo -let the man breath. Looks like it worked.

The three monsters Power starts to fade and returning to how they looked before.

Jemma- looks like we lost.

Hema- Not yet!

Rema- what u mean?

Hema- give me you pills.

Jemma- that's suicide, I won't let you die.

Hema gives a intense look and they hand her the pills. But with a smile they said, if u die then we will follow.

Hema laughing- if u think you won then you are wrong.

Jema and Rema get in to a position and places a paper with a circle on there chest.

Before SLY could move a barrier was made trapping all 5 off them inside.

Hema- this barrier will not let us or the caster out and there is no way to break this as it is made from there very own soul.

Milo- a soul barrier, looks like we are trapped. But what can you do?

Hema laughing historically takes all the pills- this pills taken in excess amount will lead to an explosion which I dought even the great people like you can withstand.

Picty- so what do we do? Do u guys have a plan.

Milo- no plan, we are stuck. The blast there appearance, I heard rumors but I think it's connected to city square incident.

Sly- the reports came out that said it was a illegal energy crystal that went haywire.

Milo- look before your eyes SLY your subordinates have some pills that is gonna go boom.

Sly in silence and worried look.

Picty- deduce the situation later but first let's get out of here.

Sly- we cannot , not even I can break this barrier, even if the caster dies the barrier will stay up till the power of the soul is not reduced.

Hema body starting to change against the eyes turn black and start to bleed black. The tattoo change from two lines to a skull. The hair turn white and fall off. Hema in pain starts to give louds screams.

Milo- power is building in her body, its completely uncontrolled, how is this possible? where is this much energy coming from?

Sly- where ever it is, by the looks of it we are dead.

Hema gets holds of herself and says- there is no escape for any of you, as this is a mission we will complete.

Picty places his arms around Milo and Sly, don't leave hope, I have survived countless times already, I am certain we will live

And soon as he finished the sentence they

vanish into thin air, everyone including the king was confused in what has happened and suddenly one person of the crowd started screaming they have escaped .

Hema in a dissapointed look- sorry jemma Rema looks like we failed and she exploads.

The barrier held the explosion and barrier starts to fade.

Huge firecrackers erupted and the crowd started to cheer.

The announcer- it's was amazing match and the Victor's are our defenders but looks like they are not interested in there prize that they left.

The king- the fun and festivities are still there and many matches to come and as promised the Victor's will get there prize.

In a faraway place in the unknow location of inside a dark room there are four people in hoods and weird writing in the floor and in the center is Picty, Milo and Slyzdger are standing. The four hooded people used some kind of seal and held them from moving. A man appears from the stairs slowly and says, sorry for such a kind of treatment, as we did not know how dangerous you are, but by the look of it there are uninvited guests with you. Release them and make arrangements for their stay. The four hooded people started walking away. Slyzdger in suspicious looks says who are you and is it part of the game. Game I don't know what you are talking about, I am Bart, and the King of Alanis orders your presence Picty. Picty instantly knew what this was about. The king shall meet you when he shall return from his meeting, and you are required to stay here. And as per our uninvited guest you can stay or leave as per your wish. Milo smiles and says well its time that, I am on my way I shall meet you again Picty and I owe you a favor. As Milo was leaving Slyzdger stops him and says you are lucky we are in a house of royalty or else I would have taken you with me and executed you, don't think you are off the hook I shall execute you for sure next time. Milo laughs and asks, what is the fantasy with execution of revolutionary army? I don't need to answer to revolutionary scum. Milo rases his hand smiling and started walking to the exit. Slyzdger turns to Picty and asks, what business does the king of Alanis has with you?

Picty smiles and says, first off, we are lucky, that we escaped death and second of all how did we get to this place? They used special teleportation and its not cheap and if they spent so much there must be a reason for it and I feel u already know what it is. Picty smiles and says, well I do have a general idea, but it is in best interest we keep quiet about it and leave now when we have a chance. I think I can leave here without any one knowing. Slyzdger thought for a second and said, they would just use the same method again and next time they won't be as welcoming as now. Its better to deal with royalty without causing them trouble but from your response I can tell you did something, but they kept you alive for a reason.

I don't think they will let me contact the D.A.B and I can't contact A.A.B as they will send assassins for your head. Picty asks, I thought you wanted me executed for my crimes, this way you can get me killed and blame assassins for my death? I can't do that because it's the fourth day, I told the General, I will return you in five days and that is tomorrow, and I still don't have proof that Red is alive so I shall not let you die. For now, let's wait and see what the king wants from you. Bert walks in and says, one of our unintended guest has left, if you would follow me I shall show you the royal palace and the place of your stay for the time being.
