As the sun hit it's peak, the number of people left on the Island kept dwindling.
On one part of the Island a ferocious battle was currently taking place.
Cracks of sticks can be heard as they're broken by strong underfoot, also the rustle of leaves as they are trampled on.
There are grunts and shouts of exertion and the thud of bodies colliding. The air was filled with the sharp scent of fear and adrenaline and the sounds of hearts beating rapidly.
Eighty and her partner Twenty were currently up against Four Neos. Even if they were outnumbered they still managed to hold their ground and seem to be the winning side as well.
One of the Neos, sent a bolt of lightning towards Twenty, but it was no match for his ice powers. As the lightening hits Twenty's ice shield that he had formed, it's absorbed and dispersed leaving him completely unharmed.
Eighty leaps into the air, kicking one of them in the stomach. The kick sent him flying backwards and hit a tree, crumpling to the ground in a heap.
She then lands lightly on her feet and turns to face the other three people. She's breathing heavily and her muscles were tensed.
Twenty raised his hands and a blast of freezing air shoots from his finger tips, which the remaining three attackers easily dodged, but that wasn't really his goal. He was actually subtly reducing their body temperature, the more cold they become the slower they become when moving making it easier for them to be eliminated.
Slowly the effect of the cold began to take place, as Twenty nodded at Eighty. She then lunges forward, knocking one of the Neos to the ground.
They skid across the forest floor, covered in dirt and leaves. One of the two remaining Neos standing throws a fireball at her , but she rolls to the side and it misses her by inches.
She rolled back to her feet and charges forward and punches the person in the chest. He was flung backwards landing in a heap several feet away.
She turns to face the last person standing, a look of determination on her face. The person raises his hands suddenly and a blast of energy hits her squarely in the chest sending her falling a little distance away.
Seeing that his blast connected, he was about to send another one forgetting that Eighty wasn't really alone, as he was walking over and gathering another energy blast in his hands he suddenly stopped, the energy he was gathering dissipating.
A trail of blood appeared on his lips, he looked down his chest and a long icicle was sticking out from it fully coated with blood, his own blood,it was then he finally fell down dead. Not just his emblem turning red to declare him dead, but he was truly dead.
Suddenly a loud voice filled with indignation was heard
"Nooo"
It was Eighty's voice, who immediately ran to check up the just stabbed Neo. After making her confirmation that he was truly dead she looked up at Twenty with anger on her face.
"Why did you kill him?"
"He was going to kill you." Twenty replied in a matter of fact voice.
Clenching her fist in anger, " Cut me that bullshit, being with you all this while I know how innovative you use your powers, so why did you kill him?"
Suddenly Twenty's face countenance and aura turned cold almost like his powers, "I killed him cause there's no rule stopping me from doing it." Suddenly a cold smile appeared on his face, "They are training us to be killers right, so what's stopping us from starting a little early."
Hearing what he said, Eighty had shock on her face, he never imagined that the cheerful and joking Twenty had such a mindset, "You are a sociopath" She said with anger still laced in her voice.
Twenty chuckled on that, "maybe I am, maybe I'm not, but I prefer to call myself a realist." Raising his hand to emphasize his point," I think we all should stop deluding ourselves and be what PAX is pushing us to be,...Killers."
He then looked at Eighty squarely in the face and saw the different emotions going through her eyes, "I'm sorry if I scared you, but is just the truth, now come on let's go." He said in an almost calm and comforting voice.
"And what makes you think, I will go anywhere with you again?" Eighty asked while taking a fighting stance.
"Don't do this Eighty, at least not now" Twenty said in a pleading voice, but Eighty didn't stop but instead stepped a little closer which made him to back away creating more space between them, "I was seriously starting to like you, but now you leave me with no choice." He said with a sigh and sent a long pointed shaped icicle towards her.
Eighty caught it and broke it into two using her knee, she then threw it back at him with almost twice the force and speed it came at her, but Twenty still managed to dodge them both.
Eighty lunges forward, her super strength giving her an advantage in speed and power. She throws a punch at him, but he quickly creates a wall of ice to block her attack.
She smashes through the wall easily, but he is creating another one already. They continue to battle like this, she breaking through his walls as fast as he can make them.
Eighty starts getting frustrated and her attacks became more and more powerful, but this was all within Twenty's calculation, the more frustrated she becomes, the easier she will likely make a mistake.
All of a sudden instead of creating another wall like usual, he flipped back a distance away from her. He grasps the ground beneath him and a thick sheet of ice spreads out in all directions, freezing everything in its path.
Eighty stumbled backwards, her feet becoming stuck in the ice. She strains to free herself, but she's losing the battle.
Twenty lunges forward, forming an ice spear glistening that was glistening in the light. He swings it towards her, but she's able to deflect it with her arm.
Twenty stepped back slowly and takes a deep breath, the air around him begins to grow cold. A thick fog began to form, obscuring Eighty's vision.
As Twenty was about to step into the fog and finish her now that her visibility was low, a sound of bullet leaving a rifle was heard.
