…

It's been a whole year since the last game, and I couldn't have been any angrier. My name is Mandy McBride. My friend is Billy Davidson, and the Grim Reaper is my mentor. Unfortunately, on my fifteenth birthday, he walked out on us. I was angry with him, as usual but he said he finally got enough of us and left. That was last year. That same year, Billy got surgery on his brain. It's called a Brain Matter Transfer or BMT. They transferred brain matter to his brain, which was the size of a pea, and they finally got it do a decent size. He's not stupid anymore, but he's gotten a new attitude. He's still happy-go-lucky, but he's not in control of his temper anymore. He's also gotten stronger, and he's way more muscular than when we were kids. But, I could care less. The reason being is later that year; a bomb was placed in a tower. It killed most of the parents in our school, including Billy's and mine. I don't know why but there's an instinct going on that's forcing me to go after them. I eventually went online and signed me and Billy up for the program, which I later found out our class, was the one to go. I'm going to kill the terrorists who killed my parents and Billy's…they will pay.

…2:35 p.m.

A bus of forty two kids went down a highway, the kids throwing paper balls everywhere and at the bus driver who was yelling down at them. The class had been going on a study trip to Peach Creek, more specifically the Peach Creek Science Museum. The class was told it would take about three days to get there, so the kids were taking there time, playing cards on the bus or arguing with the others.

Billy Davidson (Male Student No. 21) was sitting near the window, smoking an Oldboat cigarette, a habit he picked up after Grim left. The brain surgery he had left him pretty decent in grades and getting by at school, but it made him lose control of his temper in many situations. He was still old Billy inside, it was just he became quieter and brought on a reputation, violent and unpredictable. But still, he would still smile and was still a bit naïve like his old self. He looked towards Mandy McBride (Female Student No. 21), who was taking a nap in between him and Irwin Jenkins (Male Student No. 19).

"Hey Mandy, wake up." Billy said.

Mandy woke up with a grunt and looked towards Billy, and her face calmed down but it was blank.

"What do you want?" she asked, tiredly.

"You want a hit?"

Mandy looked at the cigarette, which she looked away from, until Irwin slapped the cigarette onto the ground.

"It's bad for her complexion, yo!" Irwin yelled.

Billy's face got hot and he punched Irwin in the face. Irwin was the biggest nerd in school; he was the best on the crochet club. He tried to prove he was tough, but it didn't work out. When Billy was out for surgery, he tried to get with Mandy, but he got rejected. Every girl he tried to hook with would either slap him or walk away, but it diminish his ego, which was non-existent.

"Irwin, you're not getting any tail from her in your life." Billy sneered.

"Yeah, well that's a lot coming from a guy who's too afraid to ask someone out."

Billy got even redder in the face and reached across Mandy and punched Irwin in the face, and he began to slam him repeatedly. Irwin and Billy were once the best of friends, but after Billy's surgery, most of his naïveté diminished, enough to notice Irwin trying to make Billy seem like dirt, which he almost was when he was stupid. He beat up Irwin at Homecoming on the football field, and their friendship died after that.

"Boys, stop fighting and let me sleep." Mandy said.

"Yeah boys, let Medusa sleep so she doesn't turn anyone into stone." A voice said.

It was Mindy Selontro (Female Student No. 19). She was the most popular girl in school, and her ego was like her red hair. She was never a fighter, and she got the school bully Barney 'Sperg' Nicholson (Male Student No. 1) to do whatever she wants, in return for fake sexual favors. Sperg would usually pick on Jimmy 'Pud'n' Molokai (Male Student No. 5), who had recently taken up boxing. It improved his physique ever so slightly, and he became skinny instead of strong. He won half the fights he would participate at the gym, but it didn't improve his reputation or luck with the ladies.

Behind them, Arnold 'Nergal' Jr. (Male Student No. 6) was quietly sitting in the back, reading a book on anatomy. When they were younger, Billy would imagine that he was half monster with tentacles coming out of the back of his body, but his surgery made Billy's mature, and he began to grow disinterested in playing fantasy land. Instead, he wrote them down to remember his childhood. Grim was his and Mandy's legal guardian and he was so skinny he looked like a skeleton. He also wore a black hoodie everyday. The scythe he held wasn't real, but he used one before. When he left, he had too…the reason being was because he had to go back home, and he couldn't come back because of the new dictatorship in America, making immigrants who lived in the U.S for less than ten years to leave. His tenth year was only a month away and they deported him.

The rest of the school kids were minding their own business, while the group of 'friends' stuck together. The bus entered a tunnel, and the darkness engulfed the bus…

Billy's eyes opened, still groggy and heavy. He noticed everyone was asleep, and it was quiet. He forced his eyes to look at the bus driver, who was wearing a gas mask and looking around the bus. He noticed Billy's eyes were open and made one of the substitute teachers on the bus walk towards him. He closed his eyes tight and pretended to be asleep, but it eventually worn up to him. He forced his eyes to open, and he saw two cars come on the sides of the bus, and the bus parked, and soldiers came to the door. Billy's eyes became heavy, and they eventually fluttered shut, with Billy's mind telling him that something was about to go down…and it wouldn't be pretty.
