2024-10-29 19:42:56Rainer had fallen asleep the previous night after deciding not to stress about the results of his match. He felt somewhat refreshed from the sleep, however it wasn’t enough to get rid of the pain his muscles were feeling. Groaning and wincing, he managed to sit up straight.
“It all hurts. I don't want to go back out there, but if I don't, I get the feeling these guys will kill me for it.” Rainer sighed and took a look around the room, thinking of how he would be able to escape if it were a normal room.
“No windows, one exit, and a closet. What happens if there's a fire? Do I just suffocate from the smoke and burn in the flames?” Taking one last look around, he noticed a medicine bottle on his bedside table. Inside were half yellow, half green pills. Rainer reached for the bottle, and read the instructions on a sticker attached to the side.

"You managed a scratch, nothing more!" he yelled at Rainer Rainer stood back on his feet and regained his stance“Just a lucky hit, I need to time my attacks perfectly if I want to win. I need to be faster, but I have limits and can't be as fast as these guys. The only other thing I can think of, is to somehow get him to lower his guard. I have to provoke him!” Rainer gripped his daggers and walked forward towards the lizard The lizard stared at Rainer with an intense glare "I'll end this, with the next attack." He declared with confidence. The lizard man charged at him, this time Rainer was ready, he swung his daggers in front of him to stop the attack. There was nothing in front of him, the lizard had run behind him. His four swords struck at once, Rainer managed to run forward but was a little late, he had taken a cut from two of the swords. With that dodge, Rainer followed up with a strike of his

Rainer sheathed his Katana and strapped it diagonally to the back of his waist instead of the side or on his back."Don't know why, but it just feels so natural having it here. Kinda like having a tactical knife."Rainer began to walk out of the closet and quickly made his way to the elevator that would take him to the arena. Once he arrived at the entrance to the arena, he found Arthur waiting for him. “Well if it isn’t the lying ass" said Rainer with disdain. “It was worth it to hear you panic," Arthur laughed. They both stared at the arena and the cheering crowd. "Congratulations. This is your last fight before you can head off to the second round. Your next opponent isn't going to be easy like the last two. This one is a monster that will tear you apart and eat you. Literally, eat you." Rainer stared at him in disbelief “You’re kidding, right? I barely survived the last

The minotaur roared, lifted its sword above its head, and struck down with all its might. A loud clunk could be heard across the arena. Rainer had lifted his sword and blocked the attack while somewhat leaning up from the ground. The minotaur lifted its sword once more and roared loudly. Rainer opened his eyes as the blade came swinging down, he rolled to the side and dodged it. His scarlet eyes gazed at the Minotaur. Almost as if it was frightened, the minotaur began to back away from Rainer. Those eyes seemed to pierce through you if you looked at them. His face was expressionless, but it instilled fear in most of the audience. The minotaur grabbed its sword and swung at him, Rainer jumped into the air above it, and cut one of the horns off it

Rainer stood still inside of an eerie apartment, watching a black sedan pull up to the curb. Two men exited the vehicle, and proceeded to enter through the front door. He quickly put on his dark blue hoodie, and checked to make sure his phone was still inside the pocket of his jeans. The mold on the walls and the floorboards were giving off a musty odor, forcing him to cover his nose with a face mask. Looking out towards the city skyscrapers, he loudly sighed and waited. It wasn’t long until he heard the sound of footstepswalking down the hall. A knock soon followed, and the clock on the wall signaled that it was already noon. Rainer tiptoed across the room, as if he were avoiding certain areas on the floor. Once he made it to the door, he looked through the peephole to find two men standing there. One of the men was bald, wearing a black leather jacket, and a dirty red handkerchief that looked to Rainer as if it were f

The two boys were still conversing about the aliens and didn’t even notice Rainer leaving until he drove away. Rainer made his way across town to a richer neighborhood. Houses in this area were quite large and spectacular. At the end of the street was the largest of them all with a big plot of land up on top of a hill. He parked the car at the bottom in another house’s parking lot and walked on foot through the forest. Since the sun was still up, he was able to see the guards patrolling the forest and the house itself. They were armed with guns and a knife near the belt. He quickly hid behind the closest tree, and surveyed the area. There were six guards in the back wearing bulletproof vests, with army-like attire under it, and a small metal fence around the perimeter. He tipped his knife to check it was there behind him, and tapped his gun on the side to ensure he still had it. &n

Rainer lowered his gun and stared at it “I never realized just how heavy this gun was, I’ve always been able to use it so easily” he muttered under his breath. “Maybe it’s from the weight of all that blood you have shed.” A man’s voice whispered in his ear, Rainer quickly turned and shot another bullet in the direction of the voice, but no one was there. All he could see was an empty room, but that didn’t force his guard down. His breathing was starting to become heavy, and he was starting to feel afraid. “Who are you?” he asked in a panic, hoping for an answer. Looking cautiously around the room he found no one. The only sound in the room was coming from the television. “Either I’m going insane or someone is stalking me.” he said to himself without letting his guard down. Rainer moved towards the door with caution, and proceeded down the way he had come. Upon arriving at the exit, he began to h

As he ran, the world around him seemed to be moving in slow motion. The timer on the watch counted down to thirty minutes. He wasn’t going to make it to the safe house, and that was when it hit him. "What's the damn point? No matter who is chosen to go with them, hiding won't do a damn thing. They were able to travel light years to get here, like hell a damn concrete wall is going to stop them from getting their target.” Rainer turned the next corner into an empty alley, and sat leaning against a building gasping for air. The timer reached the five-minute countdown mark, and he sat there thinking this wasn’t the end. Out of the billions of humans, there was no possible way anyone h

He was forced to sit down near the pilot side of the ship, the door began to close and Rainer couldn’t help but stare at the ground he would never see again. “Is this all there is? Is this how it ends for me? Thrown aside like a rat by my own race.” He thought to himself. “Fine, then I hope you all suffer with me.” Anger began to flood his body, he continued thinking about how he wished he could kill the type of people who landed him in this situation. The small ship began to soar towards the larger one, and in almost no time at all they had landed inside the ship’s hangar. He was escorted to a dark room with metal walls, where they provided him with new clothing to wear. His new clothes were similar to what the guards were wearing without armor. A white short sleeved shirt and white pants to match. He felt like a prisoner being prepared for an execution, although he tried to kee

The audience's cheering and chanting could be heard echoing from the arena to the entrance of the waiting room. Rainer pushed the button on the wall and the door slid open. The cheering was louder than he thought. He walked out of his room and down the hall, the louder the cheers, the more his chest began to tighten. "Well this is just great; I have an audience cheering for my death. Wonderful. Come on Rainer, fake some confidence!"He thought to himself. Rainer finally reached the end of the hallway, the open entrance to the dirt arena was right in front of him. The guard in blue armor walked up behind him and nudged him forward. "Get going, skinny, we have others who need to use this arena" he taunted Rainer. "Any chance you could tell me who my opponent is?" A small pause fell between them and was suddenly broken with a simple “No.”

Rainer clenched his teeth tightly. “I can… I can choose anything?” he quietly asked, and the Phantom nodded his head. “Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be free. Free from that man and that life. I knew nothing about life, I only knew how to bring destruction. I could never save anyone because my freedom was taken from me. If this is where I can be different, where I can change?” His mind began to clear "I can change! Everyone on Earth voted for me to be here and that was a mistake. They set me free from my prison.” Rainer stood back up on his feet, wiped away any tears from his eyes, and confidently looked towards the peak. "Every day of my life, I was chasing after a promise that I wasn't able to fulfill. Now I have a chance to, it's my turn to chase after a future that I can be proud of! Live or die, I'll at least go on knowing I made my own choices in the end.”

The knocking on the door now turned into heavy banging, like the sound of a fist hitting a wall. Rainer walked to the door and let out a sigh, hoping it wasn’t the guard. Unfortunately, it was, and before he could say a word, Rainer was dragged down the hall by the collar of his shirt. “You’re twenty minutes late!” “I. Can’t. Breathe” He muttered, choking on the collar of his shirt. Arthur let go of the collar and watched Rainer gasp for air. “You don’t keep your elders waiting, that's rude.” “I just overslept because of your training! My body isn’t used to this kind of intensity. I’m still in pain from two days ago, and the pain from yesterday hasn’t even reached my nervous system yet.” “Either you willingly follow me and train, or I drag you there and whack you with a stick.” “Fine.” Rainer grunted as he got up. They made

The guard turned the corner, and down the hall was met by someone dressed in pure white cleric robes. He had loose and messy silver hair with a single strand braided that stretched to his waist. His appearance was that of a human male, and was quite handsome. The guard stopped in front of him. “Don’t you think it was a bit harsh to punch him like that? He might lose motivation thinking he lost to a mere guard.” said the man with a soft voice and smile. “My mission is to train him, and with the tournament only a few days away he has to learn quickly. Would you have done it differently, Merlin?” “Well I would not have punched him, maybe whacked him lightly with a stick.” “And that’s why I came along, you’re too forgiving when it comes to this. Even with me you were too soft.” “You needed little convincing, Arthur. Well never mind that, do you think

The guard sighed at a tired Rainer “Good enough for today, I guess go get some rest. Oh and there will be an announcement tomorrow morning, just follow everyone else to the arena where it will be held.” “Whatever.” With that, Rainer left the arena and made his way back to his room. His body was aching all over, and the bruises were still stinging. He fell on the bed, barely able to move a muscle to turn over, so he laid there staring at the ceiling. “What am I doing?” he asked himself quietly. “I just… I shouldn’t be here.” He covered his face with his arm, closed his eyes, and his last day on Earth began to play on his mind. The way everyone’s faces looked happy as he walked away handcuffed, and how the ones he protected turned on him. Rainer gritted his teeth trying to hold back tears. “How little did I actually mean to all of you? Because you all meant so much more to me.” The resentment in his voice made him feel sick. “What do I do
