Bloodbath Part 5: Oliver, Lana, Adelaide, Dexter, Theo, & Adrian
As the podium lifted into the arena, Lana lifted her hand to shield her eyes from the light. It was strange after being below for so long to finally get a glimpse of where one’s fate would be decided. The warm temperature surprised Oliver when he arrived in the arena and his first reaction is to look around to see his ally. He smiles softly at Lana next to him, trying to reassure her before finding Theodore and Adelaide on the opposite side of the bloodbath. He looked at the countdown and when the clock hit zero he look at Lana and screamed «GO WEST» before jumping on his feet and running for the bloodbath. If he can manage for her not to go in that mess it will be perfect. Now he needed weapon. And he knew that bloodbath will be the adrenaline rush of his life. With a glance to Lana’s right, she found herself face to face with Oliver, a reassuring smile thrown her way as she felt better about going into the insanity of the Cornucopia with him by her side, nodding at his directions. Lana glanced around suddenly, searching the arena for Adelaide and Theo. She could just make out Adelaide but Theo was nowhere in her line of sight. She was a little worried about him but now was not the time to freak out. It was time to concentrate. The time was ticking slowly by, soon there would be no time for tentative friendships just another person to kill or be killed by.
Lana gulped in a deep breath as the countdown reached 10, nerves eating at her as the numbers slowly filtered down. White noise flaring around her as everyone jumped into the fray, she jumped off the podium and ran straight into the Cornucopia. As soon as Oliver takes off, he grab the first thing he saw; a metal pipe. He got pushed by Deja, who try to get in his way. Deja won the metal pipe, knocking Oliver to the ground and headed right towards his taser. Smiling, he grabs it and takes off before Deja can grab it from him. Without thinking he looks quickly and saw Adelaide in the middle of the chaos battling with another tribute. Near by, Lana’s fingers curling around a boomerang even as she looked up, seeing Oliver next to her, taser in hand. Quickly he runs toward Adelaide, Lana in tow.
Ade runs in, aiming for her prized weapon, a cattle prod. She eyes a rope and reaches down to grab it, doubling back to look for her allies. She sees a pack and runs for it just as Dexter reaches it. She remembers that Dexter choked Lana and wants revenge. Lighting up the cattle prod, she lunges forward, stabbing him in the side as he picks up the pack. He doubles over, edging for her feet. He takes a swipe at them but she digs the prod into his arm, preventing him from grabbing a hold of her boot. Dexter manages to get her down on the ground, having the strength to withstand whipping, the cattle prod does little to stop him even though she can see him wincing. Using her strength, the pair wrestle on the ground near the pack they are fighting over, kneeing each other, punching each other. Ade uses the rope and eventually strings it around Dexter’s neck, pulling tight and choking him. He releases her, his fingers itching to loosen the rope. As she hold him tight, she scrambles to her feet, yanking him along. Stomping on his face, she quickly breaks his nose and holds him against the wood planked floor. He struggles to get up but her constant stinging him with the prod. Rubbing his face into the wood, she thrust the prod into his eye socket, electrifying him until his cannon sounds.
She picks up the pack (B) and whatever weapon Dexter had in his hands. A little battered and bruised, she’s still alive. She smiles as she sees her allies running towards her. They look over Dexter’s dead body and Ade shrugs. “Fucker deserved it. Let’s Go,” she says.
The countdown ends and Theodore bolts straight forward, the sword in his sights as he runs towards it, ignoring everything else and focussing on wrapping his hands around the hilt of that weapon. Crouching down to grab it he hears footsteps too close behind him, swinging the sword upwards towards his potential assailant he feels the scrape and break of bones as the sword cuts through his victim as the front half of the boy from 11’s skull slides diagonally to the floor with a horrible slap and he dies instantly. Theodore is up and moving east before the boy is dead, travelling in the direction he can see Lana, Oliver running and Ade finishing off Dexter, he scoops up the katana as he makes his way through the chaos. Grabbing the pack at his feet (H), Theodore runs at full speed away from the Bloodbath, Ade, Lana, and Oliver turn to find Theo finishing off Adrian and heading their way. The alliance meets and runs west through the building into the unknown.
