"I am not going to die!" Ethan rumbled with an angry look in his eyes as his gestures projected alacrity. "I love your confidence. This boldness is a good reason to invest these knowledge into you and I suggest that you save this anger for those factions. I am not your enemy," The Dr. Muppet said and rising on his feet, he beckoned, "please, take a look at this y'all." "Ethan." Isabell called his name with a whisper as she glanced at him with a left nod, to make him keep lean forward, put his eyes on the sketch on paper and to pay attention because she knew he was still trying to calm his nerves because he felt bad the way the Dr. Muppet uttered those words to make him feel like he was the bad one. "This sketch right here was done by a friend of mine who was involved in the construction, when we constructed the arena of death. He was an engineer and along with his friends, they handed over some things to me as I was the only one they trusted, hoping I would one day find someone who
"And what if you are?" Ethan asked staring Peter in the eye because he himself was not ready to be a participant — deep down he still got fears most especially because of the things Terranova told him about finding a way to improve his skills least he be devoured with the others and not stand a chance of making it out alive. Peter looked at him and slowly backed off because he noticed that Ethan was about to be pissed off. Dr. Muppet did not even consider their reactions, to him, his plans was more important than anything and getting his plans work out was more important than having them alive. All he wanted was to get the inner protector opened because..."Hey, let us get this straight, this tunnel, once we have it opened, I mean, whosever is going to have it opened, how is he or she going to make it out if the beasts released are still alive and how are the rest of us who are still without the arena make our way through? Is there an entrance from outside the arena?" Isabell asked wi
27"If that be the case, then we are going to do our best to ensure that we get this done. I wish there was a way to get our hands through to open it from here... Now everything is going to be a risk. Because we have no idea who is going to survive long enough to be able to go in through the second door close to the one the beasts do proceed from, of which you talked about." Ethan muttered his assertions. The minute Ethan said that, Peter looked at him with a mouth partly opened and knitted brows, shaking his head feeling disappointed to have heard him say that. "Do not tell me that you are as scared as I, for crying out loud in here I was thinking you're the only one who is able to do it. You better begin to think how are you going to survive and get these things happen for us all. You know quite well that I'm going to do my best to keep my distance from those beasts if I happen to be in there. And for crying out loud, I do not want to go into that arena of death, I don't want to di
"Yes, uhmm, what if after trying within the timeframe you gave and nothing seem to work out, like the lock refuse to open, what do we do? And secondly, what if we are able to kill the beast they released from the cage are they going to still release another one to ensure that the winner does not get out of that arena?" He said hurriedly. "Good question. Be sure that you do not stay there more than 7 minutes and once a time elapses, be sure to come out as quickly as you can, that is if you have been able to kill any of the beasts or have rendered one injured and the other dead. Because if you stayed there for too long it is going to be cancelled because the factions are not watching you so they will assume that the time was not used to its optimum and so there is possibly going to be a rematch, between The last man standing and another two beasts, although this has not occurred before but it is in the rule of the game. You are not even going to come out of that arena to rest for a whi
"Just wait there for him I do not think it is going to take so long because he has always been expecting a client. Believe me when I say that Danny is always going to be on time." She said with eyes lifted and with a gesture demanding that he stop asking and just sit. Ethan sighed and went to sit with Isabell on a long chair she pointed at. And in no less than three minutes, a male about Ethan's age showed up though having a bald head and full beards, "There they are" the lady showed him before he could even approach her at the desk, for she saw him coming from a distance. "Hey, good evening. I am Danny, how may I help you?" The guy introduced himself extending a handshake, Ethan had to be up standing as quickly as possible, saying,"I need an apartment, not rented but one I could buy. So what are your price range like, that is if you have any." Ethan asserted. "I have about three remaining and you know D.C. united is a very small place because of the population, you won't find bet
"Really? Terranova, why can't you give me more options from a task list to choose from? This is so not fair! Making me sneak in and out all the time like a spy. I f*cking need an exciting task like one in video games I do play, you are so boring," Ethan mumbled and waved at a cab "take me to 64 alicia street. How far is it?" He ordered the cab driver the minute he shut the door and also heard Terranova talking at the same time,"Four minutes drive, $5, man." Terranova: "you are right, I am so boring saving your ass, and for your information this is real life and not a video game." "Thanks. Drive," Ethan said tapping the cab driver on the shoulder when he noticed that he was still waiting for a go ahead order, and replying to the system, he whispered, "thanks for reminding me that this is real life, you know what I think? I think you are trying to say I have one life to live and fine, I already know that once I am found dead in the process then it is game over. But that does not can
"In summary, I should not look suspicious, I get it!" Ethan rumbled and when he came to see men on suit with a little girl in their midst as they sat at drink on a round back sofa, he turned his face around facing the crowd behind him "shit, Terra, this is so not a possible mission to accomplish. You don't expect me to go in there and grab her from the midst of those men and not be caught, do you?" Ethan asked with a frown. Terranova: "come on, Ethan, that is why it is called a task. You have to find a way if not no upgrade and you know I can't keep explaining the repercussions. You can chose to wait until they are on their way out with the girl or do something right away because waiting till then will put you at the risk of running late, and I do not think you are so good at deadline..." "Okay, stop talking, let me think! Shit, you can't even help figure a way out of this. Gosh I get to do everything myself," he mumbled and went to sit on a bar chair. And requesting a drink, he tur
"Keep quiet, stop yelling! I know you can't see me but you have to cooperate with me least you are not getting out of here alive. Do not trust where I am taking you, but you have to know that I am definitely not going to f*ck you as the other guy would. Would you please stop struggling." Ethan kept sputtering words, and scolding her until he was out of the clubhouse. No one suspected and no one heard him as he was on his way out with the girl because everyone in the crowd was yelling, singing, dancing and some going in and out of the premises... "Find them!" One of the men on suits shouted as they all hurried towards the exit of the building. At this point in time, Ethan had called a taxi and when the taxi stopped by, the taxi driver thought he was carrying only a girl until the time for the invisible Ethan expired, [System shrilling] Warning warning // Invisible mood turning off in five four three two one!" "Aaahhh!!" The little girl screamed the minute I shut the door of the taxi
"And why should we believe you?!" Someone screamed Madison looked at Loretta, and then at Kim but Loretta spoke immediately to support her before anyone else standing by her "You should believe her. She is telling the truth. I have seen it and I am part of the few who are not in agreement with the killing though we have to accept our fate of alignment in order not to be silenced. You know the punishment of not abiding by the rules here in the capitol hill? Ours is even worse." Lorette stressed. "And I happen to be a part of those who are not in support but I have to go by authority and play by the rules. Thanks to a survivor in the midst of it all, his name is Ethan and he is standing right here with us all. You may have heard of him or you may not have. I wish to give him the chance to tell us more about what is going on. Ethan please." Kim added and stepped back with gestures to get Ethan to speak. Ethan spoke convincingly and after he was done, almost all the members of the amit
"Nothing is going to happen to him. The beasts won't go into the restaurant, I do not believe they will. Your family are survivors that is one thing I believe. You are a survivor and I will try my best to be quick so that they will not send you in until all this is done. Besides, there was an exemption on your case. They said you are going to be placed in position as the manager, remember?""With the way things are going down here, I do not think it will be considered anymore. There has been a change of plan ever since you were away. Dr Muppet didn't tell you he is now capable of being shortlisted as a candidate for the game? There is no exemption anymore. The announcement was made a few days ago." "Hmm, alright let us take that as a means of doing everything we have to do quick. Trust me, I have this believe that we are both going to find ourselves together again. Please, Isabell, let us go in. And please be with me in heart. Heart to heart, Isabell. Alright?" Ethan said fondly of p
"You have to stop, Isabell, whatever you are trying to do, you just have to stop. I am not like the factions, Madison is not like...." Ethan took a deep breath and exhaled, then he said calmly as he placed his hands on her arms "Madison is not like the factions. I know you do not like hearing her name but she is not what you think she is. She is not like her father. There are a lot of them like her in the capitol hill. Many are not even aware of what is going on in D.C. United here. You should not turn your back now. Madison is not even doing any of this because she loves me or have an attraction for me. She is fighting for a greater good, which is to have the killing come to an end and I have seen it in her eyes and all over her that she is desperate to stand against her father and to bring justice to the people. I know you are doing all these because you love me and want me to be yours. But as much as she may act this way, she is not. Put yourself in her shoes and understand. She sh
Isabell raised her hand immediately in a way that made Madison clear her throat and was like "okay, who else is willing to come in with her?""I will." Arnold said lifting his hand. "No, not you Arnold. I don't need you to come now. I know why. Max, Greg? Which one of you is willing to come in?" Ethan asked thoughtfully and it was obvious that he does not want to lose Arnold as he has done his friend Parker. "I will go." Max said before Greg could. "Very well then. We have Isabell and Max." Ethan said. Ethan wanted to stop Isabell but he felt it was going to be pointless and he was not also ready for another long hour of conflict and attempts to convince her to accept his apologies. He knew Isabell to be a die hard and incapable of listening when her mind is made up in whatever she has in view, despite the fact that she was obedient to him on several occasions."Okay, that will be enough at the moment. Your assignment, you and Max will be simple. Whatever we discuss and whatever ne
Madison whispering, said to Ethan, "who is she exactly?" "She is my friend. Why?" Ethan said with a guilty stare. "C'mon Ethan, don't play around. I know what I am asking you and am sure you know as well. Tell me, are you two in any relationship because she loves you from what I see and she is jealous that I am here. This is not going to work out if we are not all focused on one thing." "It is complicated, Madison. Trust me, I can not start talking about it for now. I promise to let you know what is going on sooner. For now, just bear with me and try not to take whatever she says or does into heart. I can't lie to you that I like her a lot but I am not just sure of what to say right now. It is my fault and you can count me as one to be blamed but not her. Please, alright?" Ethan muttered quietly while glancing at Isabell who stood with arms folded at a distance watching him talk with Madison. Madison was quiet for a minute before saying "you had better figure it out. I don't want
"Alright, I will let my friends know that you are going to help us in this way. I believe it is for the best. Lysbia is going to need a balance again in society and I believe together it is going to be done by us." Ethan finished and they both continued moving. "Wow, this place exists?" Madison exclaimed when they entered Dr Muppet Puppet's room. "Yes, it does." Ethan said and kept looking around.."So many books in this library." Madison said looking very much amazed at the sight of Dr Muppet Puppet's books "Yes, it does. Don't touch anything. Dr Muppet!" Ethan instructed her and then called out with a loud voice. There seems to be no one in here. So he turned and said to Madison, "stay in this room, I will be right back." Ethan left through the front door and shut it on his way out. He first hurried to the house he bought when he was about leaving D.C united. When the taxi driver pulled in front of his house and he stepped out anticipating to see Isabell, the system spoke,Terr
Terranova: "Sir, you have reached full system capacity. Welcome back from static mood." "Static mood? Everything was blank Terranova? I was dead you mean." Terranova: "practically yes. You died but you can not die so long as I am in you. Which is why you should rather call it static mood because that is what it is from now on." "Whatever mood it is, please do not do it again. Do you know how hurt I feel in my head?" Terranova: "I can't tell, though I think it is for the best. You are only feeling dizzy I believe." "This isn't a feeling of dizziness. I know what it feels like when I am dizzy. Hello, Madison." Ethan said as he turned his neck around to see Madison standing like she's frozen. "Why are you frightened?""Excuse me? Why am I frightened?! Damn Ethan, you just came from the dead! No one does that! At least not anyone I have known except Jesus Christ. You don't expect me to be cool, do you? Damnit! I wonder what you have in your body that is performing all this. You scare
"Well I was in The laboratory not quite long ago and he walked in and spoken your manner that's made me suggest that you have given him a higher authority than myself. Why should I tell him that I am to deliver an the report of Ethan's test to you myself but still he insisted that he was the one to deliver it and with every amount of Allah creating in his gut!" Madison sputtered with raging eyes. "Well I asked him to be sure he gets it directly to me I never knew you were going to be there." "I suppose he had already told you that I was at the lab when he arrived? Didn't he?" Madison asked. "Well he never did he did not tell me anything about your presence there. And if he had done what should that matter to me? All I needed was this test here. And it appears that we might be in more trouble from what is written here about that young man. Have you looked at what the test says about Ethan Hills?" "Of course I have. And I do not think you should be threatened by it. Whatever it sugg
"He does not only show signs of an Amity he is also executing potentials of a parrhesia-dauntless. I think this guy is underestimated and he has so much potentials than anyone of Us. Do you buy enemies know who he is before now?" Kim asked with eyes on Madison. "No." She denied. And shifted her gaze from Kim to Ethan who was lying with his eyes still close. "I thought you have an idea who he is before now and if you don't why are you so interested in him?" Kim asked again. "Why should I not be interested when my father is also so much interested in him? I believe whoever my dad has his eyes on is someone worth paying attention to that is why I am here." Madison muttered as she touched Ethan's hands without even realizing she was doing it. Kim looked at her and sensed she was lying about not knowing him. "I see! You have justified yourself for being so interested in him. But forgive me to ask do you even know his name?" "Ethan. His name is Ethan Hills." Madison replied with a low
