The second challenge was about to begin. Bracelets were placed on the hostages wrists. Immediately it was placed around their wrists, it glowed. The hosts had a similar device that glowed the corresponding colours of their hostages.
Helton waved his hand over the device, and a list of his hostages appeared. He was impressed with the teck but, he would have denied being so. Some hostages did same but, what appeared was the name of the host. It also had a map to the host telling the distance.
Some minutes before the challenge was about to begin. Kemi started striping, ladies cheered across territories. He had taken off his clothes and was in his underwear. Suddenly he started to transform, immediately the second challenge started. Kemi took off in a flash, immediately the green glow on his hostages bracelet turned red with a buzz.
Others chased him as their bracelets beeped, only a few were able to keep up with him. The last member of Eternity was one of them. Among her were twenty more others, he had reduced his hostages by twenty nine. He looked back and saw the others were keeping up. He slowed down, and let them catch up. The beeping stopped but it was replaced by their panting.
All of them were panting, but the woman in the mask, with a horn on the forehead.
Kemi continued walking.
"Where are you taking us"
A man asked, then Kemi looked at him and stuck his tongue out.
"Does he understand what I'm say?"
The man said out loud and they are started laughing. He turned and saw Kemi licking his balls. He got angry and walked away.
Why don't we all introduce ourselves, another man said.
"I am Dan"
"With what?"
A man in a martial art uniform asked. Then Dan turned and looked at him.
"I'm Chāoyuè làngcháo, of the Shoshin Guild "
Then others followed his footsteps. They mentioned their name then their Guild. Then it was eternity's turn, she did not say a word. Dan pointed at a guy who was sitting in a on the floor.
"I'm Ju"
He said with hesitation. He was the same man who Kemi stuck his tongue at. The purpose of the challenges was to thin out the competition. Kemi had managed to eliminate some through speed. They knew Eternity were formidable, and they were only two left. The focus of Rubix Cube was to eliminate them.
Kemi ran anytime he smelt someone unfamiliar. Somehow, Some people fed Kemi some of their provisions.
"What do you think you are doing"
Ju said to a group of ladies who were feeding Kemi. They looked at Ju still petting him.
"He is not some lost puppy, he is our host. Why are you feeding him?"
"It's not a big deal, we brought plenty of supplies."
They pointed to two men who were carrying a huge bag. They waved at them and they smiled. Ju looked at the two men and walked away. A moment later Kemi got up and went sniffing. He smelt something unusual and went to check it out.
Kemi was in the tent with the three ladies, when he smelt something. The ladies were still asleep, he went out and looked in the direction of the smell. He saw nothing but just to be safe he ran.
The two men who carried the ladies bags, saw Kemi. They went to wake the ladies up but they "shooed" them.
Others were gone but before they could catch up their bracelet buzzed.
There was a skinny looking guy who was always last when they ran. He was called Edwin, he was among the others who ran with Kemi. Including, Ju, Dan, eternity, Chāoyuè làngcháo and Middle aged man called Martin.
They were miles away and Kemi stopped. Dan had been picking random stuffs up. This time when they stopped, Dan fed Kemi.
They were sitting down around a fire when all of a sudden, a group of people appeared from nowhere.
Kemi was surprised, he did not smell them. The others who arrived were without host.
Others hugged each other, Kemi was confused.
Ju laughed, then started to explain to Kemi.
"After Dan introduced himself, he became friends with the others to see who would be useful. He had a plan, after he noticed you ran when ever you smelt something strange. First he noticed Edwin was late but his bracelet didn't buzz. He confronted him and he admitted to increasing the range on his bracelet. Martin can use ice magic and Dan needed ice for his plan to work. Martin was getting tired after each ran so Edwin increased his range. Chāoyuè làngcháo is psychic, he communicated with the other and brought us together.
Dan made and collected different smells and we switched when spreading it around. We use the scent to lead you to our members. "
Kemi was surprised all that was going on and he didn't notice. He was too focused on Eternity, and they used it against him.
