CLOSE TO DEATH While holding Fiona, feeling her life slipping away, panic rushed through me. Blood gathered under her, tinting the arena ground red. Chaos broke out as onlookers screamed and hurried to find shelter. A lot of people were unwilling to lend an ear or offer assistance. Every man had to look out for themselves."We need to summon medical help with an ambulance!" I shouted once more, my voice filled with urgency. However, in the chaos, my words appeared to get lost in the noise of fear and confusion. The tension in the air was palpable. Rosetta crouched next to me, her eyes filled with surprise and dread. "Fred, what should we do?" she inquired, her voice shaking.I desperately looked for any indication of assistance, but the group had turned into a chaotic crowd, preventing any chance of help. I felt like time was moving at a snail's pace as I held onto Fiona, hoping she would hang on and keep fighting. I gazed at her facial expression and saw vitality leaving her being.
THE WEIRD HOUSE { FIGHT BETWEEN ZACK AND JONAS }I tried walking out of the room I was and noticed it had been locked. Fear enveloped me with the thought I was going to die without anybody knowing the cause of my death. I looked around me and noticed there was nothing to communicate with the outside world. I remembered that I had revived a gunshot wound. I was bleeding, my memory played back what happened after my combat with Jonas. " Let me out! Where the hell am I?" I shouted banging at the door I heard some footsteps approaching the door and I quickly moved back. I watch as they walk in looking at me. I quickly took a fighting stand and they both looked at me with a funny look. They released a gaseous substance into the air. I tried covering my nose but they came at me. I was overpowered and out to sleep once again. "Wake up! Wake up!!." I heard a voice speak gently into my ears. I slowly lifted my eyelid and everywhere was dark. " Where am I? Am I dead?" I soliloquy to myself.
{ THE BRAWL }Everyone kept silent as the phone kept on ringing. Zack looked at Davina. " Why is Fiona's phone with you? What did you both do to my girlfriend!" He shouted rushing and grabbing her by the neck. I felt the room tense and I kept quiet to understand what was going on. My mind went back to my phone. I needed to complete my task but how? I don't even know who has my phone. The last thing I remember was trying to get to it. " Did Rosetta have it?" I was lost in thought when I heard Jonas's voice " Let her go, Zack or I swear to god I am going to rip out your heart!" Jonas shouted in anger " I bet that was the exact way you did to Fiona, huh! Did you rip her heart out also?" Zack shouted as his hand tightened around Davina's neck. " Did you see her die, Frederick? Did you see the life leave from her body?" I heard Zack's voice laced with anger I nodded even though I wasn't sure. " Some masked men came for her. She was at the point of death, I don't know who they are but I

Jonas looked at me and wondered what just happened. As the light coming from my body illuminated the room, I could feel a surge of power coursing through me. The system had taken control, and I knew I had to act swiftly to turn the tide of this chaotic situation.In a commanding voice, resonating with authority, the avatar within me spoke, "Release us and I won't have to hurt any of you." There was a moment of stunned silence, broken only by the sounds of shuffling and heavy breathing. Then, Jonas's voice cut through the darkness, filled with disbelief, "What is this? Who are you?" he asked trembling with fear "I am the voice of justice," the voice declared, my words echoing ominously in the darkened room. "And I will not allow any more bloodshed tonight. You can either have it the easy way or
MY FIRST AVATAR { SHADOW BLADE }I gasped for breath as I looked at my stomach being pierced by an iron rod by Christopher. Zack opened his eyes widened and was shocked. " What did you do Jonas!" he shouted looking scared " It is not the first time you are going to witness something like this so why are you scared?" He replied back praising Christopher for putting me down for good. " Grab him!" Jonas said to Christopher I heard as Zack begged Jonas as he was being dragged away. " Fred! Frederick!!." he shouted my name as my eyelid closed gently Tears flooded my face at the thought of dying. There were almost of things I had to do. I opened my eyes and I saw myself again back to the gaming world. I was dying and blood was oozing out of my wound. I heard a gaming sound and suddenly I found myself standing up back on my two feet " What happening to me?" I looked at myself [ SYSTEM RESPAWN ][ SYSTEM LIFE: FOUR MORE LIFE LEFT ] " Four more lives?" I shouted looking scared. " Wha
{ THE DUNGEON}I looked around me and it was indeed a mess. Jonas vomited seeing body dismemberment. " If you don't want to end up like them you had better start by telling me what I need to know," I shouted at him in anger. The fact that I didn't know I had this other side of me that was ruthless and ready to kill was scary. He fidgeted as he looked scared. " Eye on me buddy. Give me what I want and you won't have to hear from me again." I shouted in anger " The ant at the house of shade," Jonas said swearing profusely. " You told me they were over there. " Jeez," I rubbed my hair. I was losing it and I know Shadow Blade was thirsty for some blood again. " Let's calm down. Can you take me to them? Take me to them!." The four if us entered the black SUV in the compound and drove out heading for the unknown. Jonas drive and I promised to have him killed if he tried anything funny. " Where are we going?"I asked seeing he as driving us back to campus. " Why are we going back over th
{ THE ESCAPE }After Diana's punch connected, I staggered backward, the pain spreading through my face. With my teeth clenched, I braced myself, feeling the adrenaline rushing through my body intensifying my perception. This was not the moment to delay. I wasn't ready to let Shadow Blade out. I was scared Rosetta would see me as a demon. All this was because of her anyway. I quickly moved forward again and directed a rapid combination of punches and kicks toward Diana. With expert precision, she skillfully avoided and responded to every attack, demonstrating her impressive abilities. It was evident that she wasn't going to make this simple.While we fought, I sensed the gravity of the situation weighing on me. I couldn't risk losing this battle as my friends' fate depended on it. Utilizing all of my resolve, I concentrated on discovering a vulnerability to capitalize on.Nevertheless, Diana turned out to be a strong rival, responding to each of my actions with the same level of intens
{ A WORTHY OPPONENT }Jonas grinned to see me once again in pain. Thomas quickly rushed to save me as the battle intensified. Diana was a good fighter and I wondered where she had trained like that. Jonas aided her making it tough for us to break through. " We just need to hold them until Father gets back," Jonas said to his sister as they fought against us. Zack looked at me as he bled out on the floor " Fred, we could use the help of the big guy. Isn't this where he comes out to save the day?' he asked as he was tossed against the wall. I looked at Thomas and back at Xavier who looked a little scared. The gunmen were still hands down and only watched what was going on. It looks like the more we tried putting them down they were coming at us. " Can you take over Shadow Blade?" I asked covering my mouth to avoid being heard. There was silence and I heard nothing. A blow landed at the back of my neck and I groaned. " Listen, buddy, we are one. Imagine if I died right now. You also w
