Chapter Eight

The Red Hut

Mephisto was walking slowly, he threw his weapons as he didn't have any more ammo or use to them, the only thing that he kept was his pickaxe, he killed a team of 4 and another team of 3 that was lurking the first team he killed only because they were on the wrong spot, he was brutal, he was merciless, his teammates realized they were paired with a cold blood killer.

"We are in big trouble" Said Richard to Marley.

"Also, we have 90% of chance to win this game. What he did was epic, he obliterated everyone as he was dancing, his movements were so beautiful…"

"Sorry for the interruption I think he wants us to follow him"

The two of them walked outside of the red hut, and started walking, Marley opened her map and realized they weren't far away from the only lake inside the Island, she thought it was pretty and it was quite serene, then when she saw the name Loot Lake she realized that it was an indication of the items that could be there. Richard told her to keep walking to not lose track of their best asset.

Mephisto was extremely fast, they were wondering who he was or better say if he was human? They weren't sure how to even address Mephisto with a proper pronoun, and it seemed he didn't mind being referred as he, but he also didn't spoke with them with the exception of gestures. He gestured to get down, as he spotted another team walking below them.

This team was composed by two individuals, two women who seemed short in size, they couldn't spot them properly with the only exception that they had black hair.

Mako was observing Marley along with one of the executives; he was a tall man, almost 6'6, with brown hair and heterochromia, one eye blue and the other brown; opposite to the classic villain voice that was grave and low his voice was high pitch, yet he looked menacing.

"You can go and have some fun if you like Mako, we need to bring more drama, everyone seems to be scared of dying and dying is good for the ratings…" Said the executive,

"You aren't fun Blake… but I been sitting here for too long, I need some action and I wouldn't mind stirring the game just for the funs, besides Blake if I died it doesn't matter? There are plenty of others like me who are just waiting to ascend to hosts" Said Mako with a big smile.

"Then go"

"Tell Samara don't look for another host until she sees a bullet on my head" Said Mako while she was running to the center stage.

"I promise I will…" "She won't even notice that you got shot again"

Mako looked enthusiastic, she even changed clothes to fit with the other contestants, she got happy that she was going to kill but also to conquer her prey, it was truly a game of death in the fortnight.

The Tomato Squad realized they were safe, much of the other teams where still on the run from the goal, which made them the team that had the advantage in location. The team looks was unknown, every time they competed single or in any categories they wore the tomato masks, which let many people believe at first that it was the work of one individual, but later everyone realized it was an organized effort.

Not even the organizers knew their identities as they enrolled without any affiliation to any country and they seemed to have some fraud about their participation, but the executives didn't cared as they wanted the ratings, they wanted the bloodshed.

Mako appeared inside the red hut where Marley and her team where hiding, outside the saw the corpses of the team Mephisto massacred early; she also noticed the barrier was in full effect but for her was nothing, she wasn't implanted with the nanobots that would detonate within the barrier, for her the barrier was a mere prop, something for theatricals and tracking, so she started to move slowly as she was dancing within the carnival of bodies.
