TEAM BACCA CANADIAN
Mitch and Jerome continued on south, getting far enough to let Seth dissipate the bodies. They walked around the glass dome, crossing the water to the other side, where a small stone house stood, destroyed like everything else. There was nothing in it, though, so they ignored it, instead following yet another gravel path to the lake.
Sitting on the other side of the shore, there was a wooden fisherman's house, with a small dock over the water. They found a fishing rod in a chest inside, and Jerome immediately snatched it and sat outside, reeling the line.
Mitch sighed, taking a seat next to the Bacca as he continued his fishing.
TEAM TRIPLE LAUGH
"You take it!" Double said, annoyed.
"No you take it!" Bodil argued, giving the sword to Double.
"I swear to god, Bodil, if you don't take it I'll shove it up your ass!" Double yelled, thrusting the diamond sword into the Bulgarian's hands and storming out of the room. The cold shower was greatly appreciated after the hotness from all the lava.
Bodil followed him with a sigh, grasping his new sword tightly.
TEAM SPACE
Jason led Jeffery out of the hallway and to the left, deciding to follow Seto. They ran past the mushroom biome and into the forest clearing with a big building in the middle. Looking through the cracks in the walls, he could see a vast quantum of books.
Of course Seto would be in here.
He tentatively stepped inside, Jeffery oinking as they got surrounded by rows and rows of bookshelves.
It didn't take 3 minutes for them to get lost.
TEAM GOLD MAGIC
Seto, hearing the obvious click of a pressure plate echoing in the hallways, quickly took the diamond sword off of the enchantment table, making magical particles dance in the air. He gripped it tightly, taking a peek at the map he'd created.
Whoever it was, they were in for trouble.
TEAM BUDDER HEADPHONES
"Here, hold my sword," Ty said, giving his stone sword to Sky. He jumped off of the wooden platform onto a sand pile poking from the water. He jumped to another pile, a bit higher this time, eyeing the chest up on the ceiling.
He jumped, grabbing its edge. Inside resided a golden apple, which he grabbed, letting go and landing back on the sand.
"Look what I got!" he said, showing the apple to Sky, who was watching him nervously from the side.
"Good job!" Sky called back.
Ty grinned, shoving the apple into his pocket, and jumped back onto the smaller sand pile. He lost his footing, however, and ended up falling into the cold, murky water.
He surfaced, spluttering salty water everywhere. He grabbed blindly for the platform, feeling the chain armor pulling him down.
"Sky!" he cried out, managing to get a mouthful of water in the process. He pummeled down, into the dark depths of the lake.
Something slimy wrapped around his ankle, and he opened his eyes to fearfully look at the squid that was currently pulling him, its teeth shiny even underwater.
He gasped, immediately smacking a hand to his mouth, and watched as the bubbles ascended to the surface. His gaze went back to the creature – now two of them! They bared their teeth to him fully, showing exactly how sharp they were as their tentacles wrapped around his body.
"Five teams and seven players remain in the Arena!" Seth called into the mic, his voice echoing throughout the glass dome.
"You thought it would be easy, didn't you?" he asked, turning the mic off and facing the corner of the spacious room.
