No Way Out: The Story of Class 3B

by LegendOfRyan

The Helping Hand Program. The Greater Western European Nation's response to a nationwide boycott against government led by the country's youth. In this program, a randomly chosen class of freshmen is sent into an arena where they must fight to the death. Alliances will be formed. Friendships will be broken. With no way out, who will live... and who will die?

Part One: Don't Look Back

'...Twenty-Nine years ago to this date, the youth of the Greater Western European Nations rose up against Parliament, benevolent and beloved rulers of our fair country. For two fortnights, the Nation was engaged in civil war against these insurgents until at last, the Treaty of Repentance put an end to the conflict.

'For many years, the youth of the Greater Western European Nations lived in harmony with Parliament, obeying Their laws and respecting Their decisions. However, in recent years, the youth have grown unruly once again with boycotts and riots against Parliament. Despite Their best efforts to quell these insurrectionists, the youth refuse to obey.

'As such, Parliament has instated an Act, entitled the Helping Hand Act, to bridge the growing chasm between the youth and the government. This Act would establish a biannual "Helping Hand Program*" which will work to end this troubling insurgency. This event would occur at the start of January and June, and would continue until our fair Parliament believes it is no longer necessary...'
