Hey guys sorry for the long wait, but I did say the weekend my stories should be updated. Silver and Red don't mix right? Should be by tomorrow and A1squad...maybe tomorrow or today, but enjoy this chapter!


There's no turning back chapter 8

They stood close to each other in the city of Shibuya. Roxas was still shocked at that girl he stabbed; she could've been a clone, computer, or worse…an actual human from the Capitol that was used as a lab rat. "It had to be a mutation." He stated.

Sora frowned, "What?"

"The girl, she's probably like an Engraver, but…zombie version." Namine bit her lip. "It probably was. Let's get that out of our heads and start planning on how to get to the Cornucopia, also Ueno zoo. But first, we should find some food."

Kairi looked in the sky to see a couple of birds flying in the sky. She readied her bow, took aim, and shot the bird in the eye. It fell to the ground with a 'thump.' The redhead then did the same to two other birds. "Ok, Axel you're a fire starter, you know what to do."

"Already on it," He grabbed his sister's arm to go find wood. "Come on Sora, let's clean it!" The brunette recoiled at the thought. "I don't know how." Kairi shrugged, "I'll teach you, Roxas and Namine you do the same."

The two blondes sighed and picked up the bird. "Since when is she leader?" Roxas asked picking up a bird. Namine chuckled, "It's been like this in our household, her being the leader."

The spiky haired blonde looked at the two laughing and giggling. "Someone's in love." They stated in unison. Namine looked at Roxas and they laughed. "Wow that was weird." Roxas gave a nod and chuckled. "So, how do you do this?"

"Well first you…" Namine began explaining and demonstrating how to do this and how to do that. For a spilt few seconds it was silent, until Roxas pushed Namine to the ground. The blonde glared at him. "Seriously again?"

An axe hit the wall right where Namine was sitting. A sliver headed boy walked into view and glared. "Just missed." He muttered. Sora grabbed his sword and put it up to Riku's neck. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now."

Riku only smirked and grabbed the axe that was in the wall. "Listen, I can tell you about the Careers where's Axel and Xion." Kairi raised an eyebrow, "How do you know them? Is this some kind of joke?"

The silver headed teen shook his head. "No joke, the axe thing was only for fun." Namine glared, "Well it wasn't fun for us, especially me." Xion and Axel returned carrying piles of wood. "Ok let's start this fire…" Xion trailed off when her eyes landed on Riku.

"Riku, what are you doing here?" Axel frowned, "You know him?" The black haired girl shook her head. "Well not really, but I know his name. District 3 right?" She held out a hand. Riku returned the gesture. "Correct."

"Where's you're partner?" She asked. The silver headed teen glared at the ground, "She's dead, Tidus killed her and I want revenge." Sora raised an eyebrow. "Why do we come into the picture?"

"I pretty much wanted to wait for Axel and Xion to reveal the plan."

Once everyone settle down Riku began. "Alright, I was sent to kill Rinoa, the Careers are recruiting. The main people they want are Cloud, Leon, Neku, and Shiki. Tidus and Selphie are gonna kill Beat and Rhyme. They know you're coming after them; pretty much they want an all out battle."

Sora tapped at his temple. "I had a feeling they knew. Are you really gonna kill Rinoa?" Riku sighed, "I don't know, well I don't want to. But I know I might die if I don't." Xion patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, you don't have to right?"

Riku only shrugged. "I'm not quite sure." Roxas frowned, "So again, why do we come into the picture?"

"I want to be you guys' allies."

Neku and Shiki held their weapons, shocked and yet happy. Why was Xemnas in the games? Happy because they can kill the president. Until a word came into their mind; Mutation. Wow, the gamemakers were very skilled. 'Xemnas'aimed for Shiki in which Neku pushed her out of the way and swiped at his stomach.

"Get out of here." Neku stated getting in a battle stance. "No way, I'm helping you!" Shiki declared readying her blowgun. "If you get hurt, I'll blame myself." The brunette ignored him and hopped out of the way from the next attack.

"Trust me you need me," she whispered. Together, Neku and Shiki dodged and threw attacks. The brunette was back to back with her partner. "He's too fast." She stated. Neku gave a nod until Shiki smirked. "I'll distract him!"

Before he can even respond Shiki ran and hopped over the counter, Xemnas swiping glass everywhere. Luckily, the brunette was fast enough to dodge. Neku waited for the right time…which was too long.

The brunette was punched against a glass wall. Blood dripped from her head and her vision was cloudy. Neku growled angrily and threw the axe right at Xemnas head. The orange head didn't stop there, he grabbed the axe and continued to cut and slash at Xemnas in unimaginable ways.

Shiki groaned to see Neku in a blinded rage of fury. In all honesty she was scared. "Neku…" The boy turned around to face her and dropped the axe.

Neku shook his head, what was he doing? He held out a hand for Shiki and she hesitantly grabbed it. Neku pulled brushed away her bangs, "Are you okay?"

Blood still dripped from her forehead and she weakly nodded. Xemnas opened one eye and grabbed the forgotten blowgun. He took aim and fired at Shiki's neck. The girl froze as blood traveled from her eyes and mouth. "Neku…" She whispered falling onto the glass.

The spiky haired boy stared at her body in horror and noticed Xemnas. He grabbed his axe and made a quick swipe to his neck, cutting it off. Neku dropped next to Shiki's lifeless body he grabbed her hand and closed his eyes. No, he won't cry. They were just together not too long ago…

A canon sounded throughout the arena signaling her death. Neku pulled his collar up to his face and did something he would have never done.

He grabbed his headphones from neck and placed it around Shiki's ears. "See ya stalker." He whispered walking away and never looking back.

Tidus and Selphie paced throughout the Cornucopia. "Where is Riku? He's supposed to be here!" The brunette complained until she heard a canon. "Someone died." Tidus stated, only to be thwacked in the head. "No duh blondie! I wonder who, surely it isn't Riku."

The blonde only sighed and walked out of the golden horn, "Wait where are you going?" Selphie asked. "What's gonna happen staying here? We need to find other tributes, either kill or recruit."

Selphie stood there for a moment and followed her partner. "Okay, okay you're right, who should we find first?"

"Cloud or Squall."

The brunette gave and they headed out for the city. "Where do you suggest we go first?" Tidus frowned, "Well this is a big city…" Their steps echoed on the concrete but stopped when they heard a voice.

"Squall! Squall where are you?"

Selphie glared at the direction of the voice. "Rinoa." She whispered. Tidus frowned until he thought of an idea. "I got it, how about we keep Rinoa hostage and force Squall to come on our side, and then kill the girl."

The brunette smirked, "Genius." She grabbed her nunchucks and hid behind a building. Tidus pointed to an alleyway and Selphie gave a nod. Rinoa walked and looked around. "Leon where are you?" The blonde waited for a moment until she was standing right in front of the alley.

Instantly, he pushed her in the alley and pinned her against the wall. Selphie hopped form her hiding place and tied Rinoa in unbelievable speed. Tidus held her neck and dangerously smiled. "Well, well, well, looks like we captured Squall's little lover."

Rinoa glared at them and struggled silently to pull out her dagger. "What do you want?" Selphie laughed, "You my dear, will be our pet or…bait for Squally." Rinoa gripped her dagger and rolled her eyes. "State his name with respect and let me go." She tried getting off the wall but was pushed back by Tidus.

"Ooh, we have a tough one here. You might be good use to us…" Selphie grabbed a knife from her back pocket and pressed it up to Rinoa's neck. "Oh Rinoa, helpless little Rinoa. I suggest you be good for us, don't wanna die too early."

The black haired girl rolled her eyes, "Whatever, you guys will die before me." Tidus punched her in the stomach and she coughed up blood. "Wanna run that by us again?"

Rinoa was on her knees groaning in pain. "Why do you need him anyway?" The brunette shrugged, "He's very strong and if you don't cooperate, he dies."

This struck Rinoa hard. She couldn't lose him, not yet she vowed to protect him. "Alright fine, I'll be your bait but please don't hurt him" Tidus smirked and roughly pulled Rinoa to her feet, "That's what we like to hear."

Rikku and Yuna walked side by side each other. "So Yunie, how come you didn't come find me?" The brunette frowned, "I did but the arena was so HUGE! Then it changed to a city and here we are!"

"I just don't understand, I saw your face in the sky and heard the canon." Yuna stopped and glared at her cousin. "Rikku that wasn't me, I told you already I was alive the whole entire time!" The blonde narrowed her eyes, "Really? The picture looked a lot like you."

Yuna rolled her eyes and continued walking. "Whatever." Her eyes landed on a bird. "Hey are you hungry?" Rikku eagerly nodded, "Starving!" Yuna aimed her sword and threw it right in the middle of the bird's body. Rikku widened her eyes, "Whoa, Yuna why did you do that?"

The brunette frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Why did you kill the bird? You hate killing especially animals." Yuna shrugged, "We need to eat right?" The blonde gave a nod and lowered her eyes to the ground. Yuna surely was different, maybe it was just the games.

Rikku watched her skin the bird with no disgust or any expression what so ever. "I'm gonna go find us some wood, be right back." She stated walking away from her cousin. The blonde was supposed to gather wood but her thoughts were else where. What was wrong with Yuna?

The brunette was currently cleaning the bird until she froze. Voices ran through her head, 'Beware of the eyes, you must kill the girl,' Screams echoed throughout her mind as she grabbed her sword. Yuna walked to the wall of the building and absentmindedly began carving words.

Rikku walked back with a slight smile. "Hey Yuna are you do-," She was interrupted when she noticed the wall. 'Death comes in two's.' The blonde froze and noticed it was colored in with blood. The funny thing was, Yuna was muttering the same words over and over.
