".. You ask to much questions," said Kuwobasa with a now enlightened tone. "Just follow me and all shall be well."
"Okay.." said Zach with a video that was drowned into a ocean of doubt and awe.
The company began to walk through the noisy crowd of people.
Their wer people of limited sizes and ages. Ages sixteen (16) to thirty-four (34) was all that was currently present.
Even though the building Kuwobasa and his companions were currently in was full of people, they swiftly and quickly entered and exited the thick and boisterous colony.
The company and reached the other end of the building.
On the other end of the domain was a large cage. Twenty feet (20ft) in width and twenty-six (26ft) in height.
Like last time, their was a crest in the center of the ground of the contraption, that was shaped like a sun.
Seeing the object, Maki had an inquiry, "What I'd that?"
"See," said Zach in a utmost vexed tone. "Now you're the one asking questions. Why is Mr. Kuwobasa ain't saying anything?"
"Ugh!" Maki scoffed in annoyance.
After the small argument had been extinguish, Kuwobasa began to answer Maki's question, "It's a elevator downwards to the bottom floor."
"Why isn't everyone one coming here then?" Sean inquired.
"Well, because they aren't Gems," said Kuwobasa.
"Huh??" Sean inquired with a hint of confusion.
Kuwobasa then let out a sigh and commenced his explanation, "All these people here are apart of the 18th Gems crew. They're setting the stage well the other Gems are already at the bottom floor."
Kuwobasa continued, "In all, we're late and the lastest."
"That sucks," said Maki with no regard for the situation.
"It doesn't really," said Sean. "If we were early we would have been waiting for the show to start and that would've been quite boring."
"Show..?" Zach inquired.
The three began to walk towards the elevator in the lead of Kuwobasa, leaving Zach unattended to.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Zach repeated with urgency and concern. "What do you mean by match and show?"
*Open*
Kuwobasa then opened the gate that kept the inside closed.
Maki, when had turned around to face Zach from afar, asked, "Dude, aren't the dots connecting together in your head?!"
"Uhh.. oh!" Zach said with a hint of realization.
"Finally," said Maki with relief.
Zach then said with complete and utmost belief, "My birthday is next Thursday, not this Thursday."
"Ugh!" Maki and Sean scoffed.
"Go kill your self," said Maki with no concern for her words or impacts it may leave.
"Oh.." said Zach with a new realization. "I guess that was a no.."
The three then entered the elevator, while Zach did the walk of shame.
"Come on we're waiting," said Maki teasingly.
Eventually, Zach made it to the elevator. Kuwobasa then closed the gate and the contraption descended downwards.
*Vroom*
The machine descended downwards, engulfing the company into a dark abyss beneath the top floor.
The area that they were in wide and full of nothing but shadows.
Beneath the elevator was a pole that stationed the contraption in one place, while the pole descended along with the elevator.
"Where are we now?" Sean inquired silently.
Kuwait then answered, "All place were we will spectate the matches that take place. And this answer is for you Zach."
Suddenly, a dull light began to drown out the darkness and settled it above.
"No, this isn't a football match, and I don't necessarily mean soccer."
*BAM!*
The elevator had finally hit the bottom floor.
[Bottom Floor.]
Surrounding the area was a dull light that made the atmosphere comfortable. The place was filled with tables, chairs and benches.
And what occupied them?
People.
Specifically, Gems along with the companies they brought along.
The most attention grabbing thing of all was a large screen that illuminated the place with the light of the objects that were showed on it.
"It's a place were we gambling on who we had picked to fight in a death match, between the monsters.. and themselves," said Kuwobasa with a nonchalantly voice.
"Oh," said Zach, now realizing the purpose of this place. He began comprehend everything and then he said, "That's just messed up."
"Not as much if the person that is going to be in the blood bath participated in the blood bath," said Kuwobasa.
"What?" Zach inquired.
Kuwobasa began to look around the room. Only some of the seats were occupied while the others were left alone.
"Let's take our seats," said Kuwobasa. "I first match will start soon."
*Step, Step, Step, Step*
Once again on command, Sean and Maki started to walk towards a unoccupied seat as Kuwobasa instructed. And once again, leaving Zach behind.
"Uhh.. you haven't answered my question.." said Zach with a face that was covered in misery.
The company walked towards a section where six chairs and one table was located. They took a seat and began to relax.
But not Zach.
He once again asked, "Who is the guy that agreed to fight for you?"
"Oh, right," Kuwobasa said with a hint of realization. "You haven't meet him yet."
"So, the person is a guy.." Zach noted in his mind.
"His quite extraordinary," said Kuwobasa in a impressed voice, but also with a hint bit of confusion. "Very extraordinary."
"And his quite unique," Zach noted once again.
"I don't read need to tell you much, because you'll soon meet him when it's his turn to fight."
Abruptly, a loud announcement was made, "HELLO, ALL GEMS! THE FIRST MATCH WILL BEGIN SHORTLY!! PLEASE HEAD TO THE BOTTOM FLOOR IF YOU ARE NKT THERE, AND IF YOU ARE MAKE YOURSELF COMFY!!"
Hearing the loud and deafening voice, Sean then said while scratching inside of his ear, "That was quite loud."
Maki then slowly turned her head towards Sean. She peered at him while looking upwards, because of his height.
She then said, "You were once on par with that!"
"Oh, just stop the talking," said Sean in an annoyed tone.
Suddenly, the scenario on the gigantic screen changed. What it showed was the top floor of a bird eyes view.
[First Floor.]
On the first floor, cameras were set across every where on the stage, but were hidden for the naked and unaided eye.
On the field was a guy with brown hair and brown coloured eyes. He held a UMP in his hand as well as a dagger in his mouth. The youth wore a black undershirt and grey pants.
On his face was a wide grin that showed ego and confidences in his own talent, skills and weapons.
The other side of the field was a cage. It was not the same cage used as a elevator. It was different in size, quite smaller than the other.
Their was a red light that was on the lock of the cage that was flickering unstop.
*Open*
Suddenly, the light turned green and the gate that sealed the cage swinged open.
*Crash!*
Outside came an Akuma. An Akuma that had four slim legs that were shaped like long noddles, and same for it's fingers or arm. It's overall body was a tall slim figure and was textured all over as grey.
The battle had began.
[Bottom Floor.]
On the spectators area, a section of people were cheering for this youth. Only one was nothing roaring at the screen. He had his hands fold in anticipation and his head held high.
He was the 11th Gem.
[11th Gem, Omarion Clayton.]
He structured himself as a humble figure and a unwavering mind. That gave evidence that his IQ was through the roofs.
[First Floor.]
*BANG!!, BANG!!, BANG! BANG!, BANG!, BANG!!*
With his heavy arms, the participant had quickly took out the Akuma with his UMP with ease and swiftness.
With a smirk, he turned around and began to exit the battle field. But before he did, he said, "If all this chomps are like this, then fifty thousand (50K) is right in my grease hands."
He had a unusual accent and way he pronounced his words. Kind of how people in Switzerland spoke.
He exited the battlefield by an elevator on the right of the one that Kuwobasa's company took.
*Vroom*
With no hurry or haste, it loomed downwards beneath ground.
[Bottom Floor.]
Maki began to complain, "Hey! That was too short!"
"Why did he have a gun in the first place?!" Maki inquired.
"Because, Maki," said Sean. "A participant is allowed to bring in and use any weapon or object of his or her choice to aid that person to victory. The only objects that are forbidden are tools that will cause destruction to the stadium and the people within."
"Wow," said Maki in approval. "Did you memorized a hand book or something?"
"No," said Sean simply.
"Anyway, the third match will be where we meet our participate," said Kuwobasa while folding his arms.
*Slam!*
A male slammed his palm onto the table that the company was sitting near. He took a quick glance at everyone around the table and then settled his sights in Kuwobasa.
"Yo," called the man. "You look like a Gem. Do you want to gamble?"
