They walk forward and see a very large girl, Felix compared it to a harpy, Anarchy walked up to him and whispered in his ear "Harpy Queen" she then backed up, Felix recalled hearing her say that she wanted Locus and Alexa to do this test but he knew that even with their abilities they wouldn't even harm her in the slightest "Don't worry guys, I've got this" Felix said, with a confident look on his face "What is he-" Locus started but Anarchy covered his mouth "Just watch" she said and focused on him "Hello beautiful!" Felix yelled "My name is Felix and I had more to say but I got distracted by your beauty?" The harpy queen walked up to him and suddenly, blood was dripping off of her hand "Oh no, have you been injured?" Felix laughed "Now, I can stop that pain, but you'll have to sit still" the harpy kept moving towards him, slowly her fingers began falling off, one by one in a bloody mess "Is that a no?" Felix asked as she walked forward, her ankle slowly getting cut open. "I wish it could go a bit differently" Felix said, feigning sadness as her foot was cut off and she fell. Soon she lacked feet and she started using her arms to crawl at him, her throat slowly getting cut open until she collapsed dead. Felix walked over to her and closed her eyes "I'm sorry" Felix said with a smile "You were just so fun to kill though" he finished and walked back to them "What was that?" Locus asked, a look of confusion on his face "I solidified the air, and I sharpened it, this allowed me to cut her flesh without touching her, of course there's more humane ways to deal with it, but I killed her anyways." Felix laughed and started walking
They walked through another gate, a flash of light and they appeared in a dark room, suddenly the room filled with light and there seemed to be a few hundred people there, some groups of five other groups of 3-4 people. "Well this should be fun" Anarchy said with a smile "This will be a fun little challenge for most of you!" a man said as he walked from the only corner of the huge room that was still dark "Wait is that Sam?!" Felix said with shock in his voice "Isn't he the one you killed on the 27th floor?" Anarchy asked "How is he still alive?" Anarchy added "I honestly don't know, I crushed him with a boulder!" Felix said still amazed "Now this test is simple there will be 4 teams at a time that will 'fight' for control of this ball" he said holding out a golden ball "But whoever hold this ball can not get off from from a throne that is in the middle of the arena, they can attack to defend themselves, now the goal for the teams that don't have the ball is to take it from the person who does have it! Simple right? Well that's where you're wrong because killing is not allowed and whichever teams have the ball when the last team is defeated wins!" Sam said with a smirk "And there is a bonus for the team that wins! The team that wins will have immunity to being eliminated in the next floor test!" Sam said still smirking "Now, are there any volunteers to go first?" Sam asked "We should go first and have Locus keep ahold of the ball" Anarchy said "But remember no killing!" Felix said with disappointment in his voice. Felix raised his hand "my team will" Felix said "Well well well look who's here!, never thought I'd see you again Felix" Sam said with a smile and right as he said that every other team put their hands down "Well isn't that interesting apparently everyone knows about you! Or maybe it's the kid that's next to you?" Sam said as he pointed at Locus "Oh well, if no one else will volunteer then I'll pick randomly!" Sam said and Felix and them appeared in the arena.
Locus ran to the throne and grabbed the ball right as 3 other teams appeared on other sides of the arena "Locus, we'll leave this to you" Felix said as he walked over to a wall and leaned on it, Anarchy and Alexa joining him, the other teams looked over and realized that Locus' teammates aren't doing anything. They rushed Locus who had just sat down on the throne. All three teams surrounded the throne "Give up the ball if you know what's good for you" a guy wearing a red mask ordered. Locus looked at him and laughed "Do you think my team sat on the sidelines for no reason? You're all idiots" Locus said with a slight grin and suddenly the three teams were thrown across the room as Locus flicked his wrist. The teams hit the walls, unconscious "Impressive, no wonder Felix isn't worried" Sam said as he watched from the starting room, three more teams appeared they all ran towards Locus hoping to overpower him with speed but were all thrown back like the others. Every single team tries a new tactic all ending the same way until there was only one other team left. The last team appeared looking around to see Locus sitting on the throne with a smile and all the other teams lying along the walls unconscious they saw that Locus' team was sitting on the far side and Felix waved at them "Well I think we're probably screwed" the team's captain said "Isn't that guy on the team that volunteered right off the bat?" asked the smallest guy on their team "I think it is!" the captain said and they rushed him without thinking. Locus let them get right up to the throne and sat there with his eyes closed unmoving "What is he doing boss?" the small guy asked "I don't know maybe he fell asleep?" the captain said, unsure of himself "Well lets just grab it from him then" one of the guys said as he walked right upto Locus and tried to grab it but his body was dropped to the ground, the arm he went to grab the ball with is broken "WHAT THE HELL!!" he screamed out in pain 'Um i don't know but I know one thing….. We give up!" the team captain said looking over at Sam ``''Chicken" Locus quipped as he opened his eyes "Well.. Well.. Well, I guess there was a reason he had that boy go up on his own after all just what I expect from a partner of Felix's" Sam said as he chuckled.
"Well, I'd say we're just about done" Sam announced and Locus stood up and walked to the others "That was pretty fun" Locus laughed "Congratulations" A voice boomed from across the field "oh no" Felix muttered. Locus looked towards the voice and saw a large shadowy man "That was a very impressive challenge, but I believe there is someone here who shouldn't be here after something he did" The voice continued "Felix, why are you back?" he asked, Felix stood up and walked forward "So how are we gonna do this guardian?" Felix asked, the confidence in his voice unwavering "We gonna fight?" he continued "or are you just here to scare me?" with that the guardian took a large sword off of his back "I've given you too many chances" he said and Felix turned to look at Locus "Hey, you three run, let me deal with this" he said and Locus jumped up "Let me help!" he yelled and Felix shook his head "You're not ready to take on a floor guardian" Locus was about to protest but Felix stuck his hand up "Don't start, just go, here" he tossed him half of a glowing light blue crystal "This is a crystal from floor 50, it'll glow when it's near its other half" He explained, holding up the other half of the crystal "I'll see you on floor 15, that I can promise" Felix turned around and Locus ran and hid behind a pillar "You know" Felix started "It's unfair that you have a sword and I'm absolutely defenseless" he and the guardian laughed before Felix turned around again "I said run Locus, I'll see you at floor 15" he said as the guardian swung down at him. Felix, in the split second before death, suddenly had a sword in his hand, after blocking the attack dust rose up all around them and Felix and the guardian disappeared from Locus' eyes. "Dang it" he muttered as he ran to go find the entrance to the next area
Locus ran towards the gate that had just opened to find that the others had waited for him there "Will he be okay by himself?" Locus asked, looking to Anarchy. "Yes he should be fine, although last time he did lose." Anarchy said. Beginning to lose focus, she shook her head and they ran through the gate. Suddenly they materialized on a train with 20 other groups "I hate the train" Anarchy said with disgust. "Why? what's so bad about it?" Locus asked, his head tilting curiously. "Well first, only five teams can get off the train. Second, I was not expecting us to be on the train. Basically it's a ticket to skip the next 3 floors so we'll be on the 14th floor once we're done" Anarchy said disappointedly "Doesn't that mean we get to throw people off the train?" Alexa asked, hopefully "Actually that's the only way to survive, so yeah" Anarchy grinned as she looked at the other groups. "Locus, think you can push everyone off?" Anarchy asked. Locus looked around at the other people on the train, all trying to understand what was going on. "I could," he started, "but I think it might be better to see what Alexa is actually capable of" he looked over at the girl who smiled back. "Okay, no problem" Alexa responded and began concentrating, worming her own desires into the minds of all but five of the other teams. Within seconds they all walked off the side of the train. "Wait, what was that?"Anarchy asked, a dumbfounded look creeping on her face. "I control and influence people's minds." Alexa said smiling, "Wait, have you been making Locus date you?" Anarchy asked, thinking of how she could use Alexa's powers to influence others. Alexa blushed and looked away "Of course not! I would never do that! I may like him a lot but I would never force him" Alexa said, her blush growing.
"Alright, I guess we have some time now. Locus, what do you know of the legends of the tower?" Anarchy asked and Locus shook his head "Alright, let me begin explaining the most prominent legend, the first people to reach the top of the tower were the self-proclaimed 'Queen' of the tower and her brother, deemed the Guardian of the tower by the floor guardians, they would wander the tower and speak to the people, fearless as they knew nobody could challenge them and survive. However, nobody has seen them since an event that we call the fall of the Guardian." Anarchy paused for dramatic effect. Before the fall the Guardian was a very nice person, according to legend, but of course, something bad happened." Anarchy paused again, this time to look around for any threats. "One day, while investigating the 3rd floor for some sort of disturbance, the guardian saw a beautiful girl, and fell in love almost immediately. The Queen disagreed with her brother, thinking themselves above the idea of love. So he left the top of the tower to search for the girl. When he found her, he saw that she had found someone else, in a fit of rage he ended up killing the two and soon after the guardian's attitude changed, he returned to his sister heartless and cruel. The Queen cast him away, stripping him of his memory. Since then, nobody has seen or heard from the Queen or her brother. Though the Guardian's looks always changed before the fall so no one knew what he really looked like." She finished with a smile on her face. "Of course, there are no doubts that the Guardian will return soon. He'll want to protect his sister as an instinct. With another legend saying he and someone else are going to fight on floor 99." She said, Locus looked at her curiously "Who's he going to fight?" he asked and she smiled ominously "Nobody really knows yet, just that he will." Suddenly a knife glided through the air and sliced the back of Anarchy's hood, causing it to fall off. "Well hey there, sis" a male voice said and she jumped up "Brother." She replied coldly "Oh, come now Karma, is that any way to speak to family?" He said, cruelly. Alexa stood up excitedly "That's Bellamy Crown! He's the child of one of the most famous and wealthy families inside the tower!" she yelled, she looked over at Anarchy "that means you're his sister...we've been traveling with a Crown?" she continued about to faint "Why are you here Bellamy?" Karma asked as she ignored Alexa's comment and Bellamy laughed "I just wanted to see my sister, you know, catch up, kill her because she disrespects her family by helping Felix and a 'newcomer' he said as he drew another knife "Let me handle this you two? thanks" Karma said, walking forward and pulling out two knives "Let's dance" they said simultaneously and Anarchy ran at him at high speeds, their clash creating a shockwave throughout the train. "You've gotten stronger brother" Karma laughed, Bellamy grinned back "you've gotten faster" and with that they began to fight at rapid speeds, just watching gave Locus a headache.
"Enough of this!" Locus said, he held out his hand and they both levitated mid air just out of arm's reach from each other, "Now then, how about we have a civil meeting before i throw both of you off the train!" Locus yelled but they ignored him and they threw their knives at each other but they didn't move more than a few inches from their hands. "Well are you gonna listen to me now! There is no way for you two to escape from my power" Locus finished and he set them both down in a seat across from each other but he made sure not to let them move "What kind of power does he have?" Bellamy asked as he looked at Locus "He has the ability to control gravity or some shit like that hard to tell" Karma said "Wait seriously?" Bellamy said "well anyways let me go so i can finish this you NEWCOMER!" Bellamy yelled "How about later" Locus said "Absolutely not! I will not listen to a newcomer no matter what his or her powers are or how strong they are!" Bellamy said "Ok but just remember i gave you an option" Locus said and flicked his wrist to the side and Bellamy went shooting off the train landing on floor 13 "Daaaaamn yooooouuuuu" Bellamy yelled as he was thrown from the train
