Manga/Live action: Alice in Borderland
!!!This is a game I completely made up!!!
I've read the Manga and watched the life action, I'll go with the life action for this one shot
Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen/read the 10th heart game yet
/Club 8? What's this? Yesterday it said spade 4 I think. What does this mean?/ as a thousand questions ring through your head you look around to see if there'd be anyone you could ask and looks trustworthy. You see two woman in their mid 40's, who seem pretty anxious, a few guys in smokings, three high schoolers and two that looks as if they were just coming from the pool.
Looking at the table you see phones and a metal chain, the card says to put the chain around your waist. Once it clicked it adjusts to your size, so you can escape from it.
Chains were coming out of holes in the wall, with every player having one attached to the one around their waist.
-You're all connected by these chains. To free yourself you need to find the right key out of the box in the middle. But beware, you can only move forward if someone else walks backwards. Work together to free everyone. After one minute the walls will start closing in, you have 8 minutes until the walls reach the middle. Games start in 30 seconds-
"We just have to work together, this is an easy game!"
"Easy?" the guy besides you muses. "This could be a heart game as well."
"You seem to know these games quite well." you figure, he and his companion are the only ones that seem calm.
"I've had one game so far."
"Mhm, interesting." he nods, removing the hood of his jacket.
"I'm y/n." you introduce yourself, he seems like the only person in this room who seems totally unbothered, being on his side probably gives you the highest rate of survival. Yet he just stares at you, as if he's trying to figure your value.
"I'm Kuina by the way." the girl next to him takes over, she's probably the liveliest person you've seen since you've arrived.
"Nice to meet you." you nod, not sure if you should keep questioning the people around you instead of the game. That seems to be starting now.
The second the game starts the chaos begins, everyone is running towards the middle, the two older women pushed one another back to get further. Not one of them moved more than a step.
"So it began." the guy comments, as if he were a bystander.
"Not trying to disturb your commentary, but we'll all die if we don't do something."
"I agree with her, Chishiya you usually have a plan." Kuina pushes her friend to say something.
"Us three can't do anything. Judging from this room everyone would need to get as close as two meters in front of the wall for one person to be able to reach the middle. Who would trust a stranger like that?" Chishiya concludes, leaving Kuina and you to exchange panicked glances.
"Thanks for the analysis Einstein, but we need a freaking solution." you call him out which once earns a chuckle from the man.
"Okay, I'll trust you." one of the high school girls says, walking backwards, the second she steps back she gets pulled against the wall by those who pull the hardest. Right as she hits the wall hot nails come out, killing her instantly.
"Bloody perfect, now there's hot spikes! This got worse way too quick." you notice, leaning more into your chain as well so you don't loose your grip.
"No one will cooperate now." Kuina says. "Chishiya do something!"
"We have to wait till some more people slip." he casually answers as if he weren't talking about peoples life's.
"I won't accept this. I've seen people push one another into death already." you say as you take tiny steps backwards.
"Are you insane, you'll die a useless death." Chishiya calls out, turning towards you.
"We're gonna die either way, and I'd rather die trying to work together than being selfish like the rest."
Chishiya just looks at you for a while till he turns towards the middle again, chuckling. "You're interesting, I like that."
Another five people die as they got pushed by their neighbors and lost hold, only six people left. According to Chishiyas calculations one person should be able to reach the middle by now, if only one person would've moved during that time.
Chishiya keeps a close eye on one player, who looks extremely stressed. "Kuina, on my sign you run as fast as you can towards the middle."
Earning a unsure Glace from her he continues observing. Until it happens. The guy looses tension, leaning forward, hands on his knees.
"Now!" Chishiya immediately runs back as Kuina sprints forward, pulling the poor guy against the wall and reaching the keys.
"Yes! They have numbers!" she looks around but doesn't see a number.
"Y/n is number 10, you're number 9 Kuina." he says, that guy really did observe everything. The numbers were randomly given as the game started, showing up at the back of your lock. Kuina picks the right keys and throws them to each one of you.
As soon as you've freed yourself you run to Chishiya to figure his number.
"5!" you catch the key and get him free just in time, burning your right elbow during the process.
"We gotta go! The walls are nearly too close!" Kuna warns, throwing the keys randomly to the people. "Sorry."
"We can't just-" you were about to protest But Chishiya grabs your wrist and pulls you out of this hell behind him.
All you hear after that were the painful voices of those who were torn to death.
"We let them die." you breath, sinking to the ground.
"Y/n, I'm not a fan of this either, but we had no choice." Kuina sits down next to you, able to relate to your emotions.
"We all just want to survive, isn't it human to betray others so we can live?" Chishiya asks, knowing that you won't respond. You know the answer, even though you hate it.
"Why don't you come with us?"
That question was the last thing you remembered of that night. The next day you wake up in a hotel room, Kuina sleeping on the bed next to you.
"The beach." Chishiya greets you, leaning against the door frame. "You still have eleven days on your visa, so they won't send you to a game tonight."
"I can continue to sleep you mean? Gladly." you fall back into the white sheets.
The following four days Chishiya would guide you around and for the one game you had to participate in he made sure that he'd be there as well.
But during the 10th of heart game you've lost each other. And since he kept you close the entire time he knew that the military section wouldn't hesitate to shoot you. It wasn't a secret that they hated Chishiya and everything related to him. At least Niragi.
"How did I loose them so quickly?" you run around, after the three of you were in the camera room Kuina left to see what Ann was doing and Chishiya wanted to blow up Niragi. Like legit.
You were following him but a huge crowd and witch hunters seperated you.
"Hey witch come here! Don't make us kill you here, then we have to to carry you!" some guy yells as he shoots in your direction.
"Fuck off!" you run towards the smoke, against all your instincts.
Crawling over the ground to escape the smoke you try to find a way out. A window. Being on the tenth floor you knew that you won't survive such a jump, but you had no choice, the fire caught up to quickly so you had to try to jump from one balcony to another until you're on the first floor.
"Kuina!" you run towards your friend who's currently helping out Ann. "Have you seen Chishiya?"
"No, but he doesn't die that easy." she reassures you.
Arisu and Ann explained how to win this game, but Niragi just had to show up and blow everything up didn't he? Aguni threw himself at him and they got lost in the flames. And usually you would've been relieved if there wasn't this tiny problem. Your leg was shot. Your calf. And it was bleeding like hell.
"Y/n!" Kuina and Usagi immediately run to you, adding pressure to the wound. "Stay with us!"
"Make it stop!" you grunt through your teeth, trying to endure the pain. It only hurt more once Usagi put her jacket around your leg as a compress bandage.
As the others burn the witch you walk outside, being supported by Usagi, watching the Beach burn. No sight of Chishiya.
"I'll look for him." you say, trying to take a step but your leg had different plans. You're met with the ground. "Damn it."
"I'll look for him." Kuina says, not waiting for your response and just taking off.
The crowd gets smaller, all the members of beach head off to different directions, leaving Arisu, Usagi, Tatta and you.
"Kuina shouldn't have gone back." Usagi voices her concern, watching the building collapse.
"Chishiya!" you can't believe your eyes, he's alive and unharmed, you struggle to get back on your feet to walk towards him. "You're alright, I was worri-" you stop midsentence, surprised by the hug you find yourself in.
"I'm so glad you're alive." he mutters against your shoulder, arms wrapped tight around your back.
"What happened to your leg?" he inspects your leg after loosing the hug, seeing blood all over your foot. "Let me have a look."
"I'm a doctor." he answers calmly, taking a look at your wound. "A bullet, it went right through, it hit an artery."
"He's still alive?" he asked surprised. "But I burned him."
"He should be dead now." you watch Chishiya tighten the bandage more.
"Let's get some medical supplies so I can fix your leg." he says as he sweeps you up into his arms.
"Chishiya being sweet? Now I've really seen it all." Kuina shakes her head in disbelieve, following behind you by a bit to give you at least a bit privacy to talk.
