As the timer ran to zero, they all were teleported with a bright flash onto a sandy beach. It seemed to be an island of sorts with a jungle as deep as they could see. There was a mountain right in the middle of it, though a golden light was seen coming down from the sky onto the top of the mountain. Even an idiot like Toki could tell that was where they were meant to go.
"Should I secure the place, captain?" Jack was the one who spoke up first, drawing everyone's attention towards him.
"Uh, yeah, sure, go for it," he smiled as he ran much faster than everyone present there.
"He's…fast," Dustin said, as Hana nodded. Toki was left with dazzling eyes, thinking that was cool, but Jack knew that was more or less because of his new shoes. He really liked his shoes, as when he was sure no one followed him or was watching him, he jumped up using an air burst and pulled out his aquamarine fangs.
"Is this considered flying? I guess it's more falling with style," he said as he used the fangs to glide and launch himself up using air bursts. Around 10 minutes later, he was the first one at the top of the mountain.
As he reached the peak, he saw a circular area of radius 20 meters. He stepped in it without thinking much as the color changed to red simultaneously as an announcement happened.
[Team Red has occupied the hill.]
[Current time: 00:01]
[Time before the game ends: 119:59]
"Oh man, this is going to be a long day," he sighed as he looked in the direction he came from, marking it as his team, and in the direction directly opposite it, marking it as the opponent. But before Jack had the time to relax, he saw something flying towards him from the opponent's side.
He dodged back, but it wasn't an object. It was four people all tied up using a rope, and they all landed right in front of him.
"Next time, tell us when you're going to throw us," one of the guys said, looking at the man who was the one Toki had gotten into a confrontation with.
"Shut up, dude, you're making us look bad," another guy said as the rope they were tied together by was absorbed back into this guy's hand. Jack wasn't slow this time, as he used his identification skills on Duke and was left speechless.

Title: Duke of Throwing Hands]
"What the fuck?" Jack said. That was even possible? This motherfucker was an anomaly through and through, as Jack could only sigh. There was no way he could clutch up a 1v4 without revealing all his cards, which he honestly didn't want to.
Whatever, it's not like he has an option now. As he sighed and prepared to fight, just then the duke spoke. "Beat me one-on-one, and we won't fight you until your team arrives. What do you say?" Any normal person would have jumped up for the offer, but he realized this might cause him to go all out, which he didn't want to. Ah, whatever could be done now, at least that way he could buy some time until his team gets here.
"Alright deal," he said as the duke smiled and all the other members of his squad giggled before stepping back a bit. Duke cracked his knuckles while stepping forward as Jack activated his card skill.
Suddenly, seven spades formed in front of him as he chuckled. He had already won this fight when white particles started dancing around him. The duke saw this as a sign of him activating his skill as he jumped forward at insane speed, trying to punch Jack, but it was too bad for him.
He would feel a sharp pain in his hands, as he couldn't feel it anymore. Looking at his hand, he saw his whole forearm, which had been cut off. He had no idea what happened as the white particles vanished, revealing a giant wolf forming behind Jack with its maw blood while it spat out the arm of the man who tried to hunt his master.
Seeing this fear form in the eyes of the duke and his team members, the giant canine eyes almost emanated intimidation as they found themselves panicking. Before anything could happen, one of the teammates tried to speak up.
"T's cheating." Before he could finish the sentence, the giant wolf growled, taking a step forward and quieting the guy. They realized they were not made for this as they all turned around and tried to run away.
"Hunt. And I want them alive," he told the wolf as he jumped off the edge of the mountain, following them. As for the duke of hands, Jack simply drew out his hammer.
"You motherfucker, you'll realize how stupid you are for letting the monster go."
He sighed Perhaps it would be stupid normally. He smiled as he ran towards the duke, who came at him also. But before any confrontation, Jack activated the solar flare skill of his armor, burning the duke to a crisp.
"Who said I was playing fair?" Jack said, smacking the duke in the face with his hammer as he was knocked out. "And you're confused, my friend. Humans are the real monsters."
