"Hey brother! Do you really need to go to the game? Can't we just go to your room and take apart items like we always do? I found a bunch of weird items from the basement we can take those apart." A tone skinned kid who has a buzz haircut while wearing a white oversized white tank top with a dark blue short asked while standing in front of a large dark brown wooden door looking towards a tall tone skinned man who has purple long and curly hair who was wearing a black leather jacket that have a couple of purple stripes on this right side, a black T-shirt underneath it, and a pair of light blue jeans that have a couple of holes near his knee caps.
The tall toned man slowly brushed the kid's head while smiling towards him "I have to go little one, this is what our father has prepared me for. I would love to stay here and take apart the items that you found with you but I have to go to the game."
The young kid looked towards the tall man with a sad face while the tall man slowly kneeled and looked towards the little kid's bright orange eyes "Don't be sad I promise I won't be long, I will win the game and I will take you there with me. We will look at all of the weapons that they use and take them apart together."
"Do you promise?" The little kid asked as he reached his right hand out while sticking out his little finger looking towards the tall man.
"Yes little one, I promise you." The tall man smiled as he reached his large right hand towards the kid and locked his little finger with the kid's little finger.
Bull suddenly woke up and looked towards his right side. He saw a large black box that was ringing loudly with bright red six am written in front of it. He shook his head as he pulled his body up and sat down on the edge of the bed "I will find out what happened to you brother, I promise I will find you."
"Good morning you two, you're here very early." Alice waved towards Bull and Bunny who were walking out from the elevator while she walked out from her apartment. They quickly waved towards Alice while running towards her.
"Good morning Alice! Where is Lion?" Bunny asked as she stopped right in front of Adam's apartment door with Bull on her right side while Alice stopped right in front of them.
Adam's apartment door suddenly swung open and Adam walked out from it. He quickly looked towards Bull and Bunny and smiled towards them "Good morning, are you two ready for the game?"
"Yeah, we're ready. Come on let's get out from here." Bull smiled while looking towards Adam who quickly nodded as he closed his apartment door behind him.
Adam, Bull, Bunny, and Alice walked out from the apartment building and saw a large black SUV parked right in front of the apartment. The four of them entered the car and it left Adam's apartment building.
The car went around the city for half an hour until it suddenly stopped in front of a large black garage door that was on a side of a tall building that has a large bright sign of Shops at the very top of it. The garage door slowly raised on its own and the car went inside of it while the garage door behind them closed on its own.
The car shook for a couple of seconds and slowly spins around while going downwards. After a couple of minutes of spinning around Adam noticed a large number on the wall that said sixty-seven "We're going pretty deep for our second game now."
"Maybe the second game area is bigger than the first one," Bunny said while looking towards Adam who quickly nodded.
"No matter how big the game area is we will get through it easily." Bull looked towards Adam and Bunny who quickly nodded.
The car suddenly stopped spinning as the four of them looked towards the wall that was on the right side of the car with a large seventy-two written on the wall in red.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The car horn played a couple of times as the wall that was right in front of the car split into two revealing a long straight tunnel. The car quickly entered the tunnel as the wall fully opened.
Forty-five minutes passed by and the car suddenly stopped in front of a large orange door that has a large number five painted in purple right in the middle of it. The four of them went out of the car and stands right in front of the door as the car left them.
"What are we waiting here for? Let's go inside!" Bunny suddenly walked towards the door and pushed the door with both of her hands as it swung open.
The four of them quickly looked around the lounge area that was the same as the lounge area on their first game. Adam looked straight ahead towards the wooden stage and saw a woman who was wearing a long black dress with a black blank wooden mask who walked from the side of the stage and stopped right in the middle of the stage as a clear tube came down from the top of the roof right beside her and a small wooden stand came out from the floor right in front of her.
"Contestants please get ready for your second game which will begin in fifteen minutes, if you're in a team please gather your teammates and get ready." The woman said while looking around the room as all of the contestants that were in the room was looking straight towards her.
Alice quickly tapped Adam's, Bull's, and Bunny's shoulder as the three of them quickly turned around towards her "Come with me for a second I have to tell the three of you something important."
The three of them followed Alice who stopped at a corner of the room that was empty and formed a small circle as the other contestants lined up in front of the clear tube.
Alice reached into her suit pocket and took out two identical earpieces and gave them to Bull and Bunny "Here you go put this on your right ear, I will read the messages from the live stream to you guys when you're inside the game so you can focus on your game."
"Thank you Alice this will help us very much, what about Lion why didn't you gave him one?" Bunny asked as she puts on the earpiece to her right ear and looked towards Alice.
"I already have one, she gave it to me on my first game," Adam answered while looking towards Bull and Bunny who looked towards him while holding their right ear.
"Okay, that's all I have to say to three of you now go, look the line have gone shorter. Good luck you three." Alice pointed towards the line that was in front of the clear tube.
"Thank you, Alice." The three of them said together while looking towards Alice and turned around. They walked towards the wooden stage with Alice right behind them.
They walked up the stairs of the wooden stage as the tube sent a contestant downwards and stands right in front of the stands that have the black blank masked woman who was standing behind it. Bull hovered his watch on top of the stand while staring towards the stand.
"Beasts, please enter the tube, and Good luck on your second game." The woman said while looking towards Adam, Bull, and Bunny.
Adam, Bull, and Bunny entered the clear tube together and the floor under them slowly sunk. Alice quickly waved towards Adam, Bull, and Bunny who waved back towards her as they disappear into the ground.
"Here we go! We're just a couple of minutes away from the game, how are you two feeling?" Bull looked towards Adam and Bunny who were on his sides as their tube moved around the darkness.
"Are you nervous Bull? I can see the sweat in your hands." Bunny asked while pointing towards Bull's hand which he quickly pulled to his back.
Bull laughed as he wiped his hands to his back "Haha you got me I'm a little bit nervous, but it's okay it won't affect my performance. I'm ready for our second game."
"Calm down Bull were here with you we can do this together." Adam smiled while looking towards Bull who quickly nodded while the tube stopped in the middle of darkness.
"Contestant Bull, please reach your hand out." A static voice came from the roof of the tube. Bull quickly reached his hands out as a scroll fell from the ceiling to his hand.
Bull quickly opened the scroll and looked towards it while holding it with both of his hands "Twenty four pillars standing proud each one was different from one pillar to the other but they all were made for one purpose, protecting the world from the greedy emperor."
"Twenty four pillars? What does that mean?" Bunny asked while looking towards Bull and Adam who quickly shook their heads.
TING! A loud bell came from the roof of the tube and the floor under the three of them slowly went upwards on its own. The three of them quickly looked upwards as the roof opened to its sides and let a bright light came inside the tube.
