Gloria was slightly shocked by the arena. But that didn't stop her from sprinting to the Glass skyscraper with Riki and Tyler in pursuit (They had made an alliance before hand) In the few minutes it took to get there. Gloria was nearly half a km apart from the boys. The Skyscraper was so clear she could see other tributes heading to the skyscraper on the other side. She was clearly the first one there.
Despite popular opinion. It is not easy climbing up stairs made of glass. It was even more terrible because she could see the ground loads of floors below her. When Gloria finally reached the top she looked below her. None of the tributes had killed each other yet which meant that the Immunity was still on. When she finally reached the top she saw every type of weapon and equipment... And a large rock. Gloria knew she only had a few minutes to pick what she wanted. "Your so dead!" Gloria turned around to see Tidus slowly approaching. "You can't pick anything up with that immunity pad. Run away now and you might not die this soon." Gloria knew she had to ditch the immunity pad and get rid of Tidus at the same time.
Gloria took the pad out of her pocket and pelted it at tidus. Without thinking, Tidus went to catch the pad but just before it reached his hand a massive electric discharge erupted from the pad in his other hand. Tidus went flying back and smashed through a layer of glass. The Pad was blocking the way to the roof. No one could get in until the ten minutes was up. Gloria Found three sheaths with 5 throwing knives. She took Two. "Gloria!" Gloria Turned around to see Riki and Tyler standing with weapons drawn facing Tidus. Tidus was holding the massive rock. How did he get that? "Throw me Dagger and I won't throw this rock at them." Gloria was wondering what would happen if the rock hit the force field around Riki... It would fall to the ground... Onto the glass. Gloria picked up a knife from the pile of weapons and threw it at Tidus knowing it would simply fall to the ground and he would just pick it up. But at that exact second she threw the knife, the force fields ten minutes ended and the dagger got lodged in the heart of Tidus.
Tidus stumbled back and dropped the rock. The second the rock touched the ground the glass began to crack. "RUN!" Gloria beckoned swiftly for them to come but only Riki reacted fast enough. Tidus's body hit the floor and the glass began to smash. The rock continued to fall. Smashing holes in every grabbing onto the edge of glass. Barely holding on. "Tyler!" Riki was running up the stairs. With every stair that he touched. The stair burst into pieces seconds later.
Gloria saw a few people running up the Glass skyscraper. it would be less then a minute before they would be able to simply pushTylerto his death. Something hit Gloria on the head. It was a rope tied to a silver parachute. Gloria tied part of it into a lasso and tried to throw it over groaning loudly. There was not even enough ground left to climb back onto.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" Vein approached from behind Riki and Gloria. Riki turned around and felt extremely stupid when he didn't see the elevator just behind them.
"I cant hold on much longer!" Gloria was still trying to saveTyler. "Kill him!" Riki drew two shuriken stars and flicked one at Vein. Vein barely jumped out of the stars path. However he was nearly falling over and was comically swinging his hands not to trip. After realizing his first star missed, Riki threw the other star straight into his right arm. Screaming in agony, Vein grabbed the remote to the explosives from his pocket. "You guys pass me that parachute or I'm gonna blow this place, I've got a bomb a the bottom of the building."Tylerwas still hanging of the edge. "Let him go." Gloria was still throwing the rope over toTyler.
Vein grabbed a sword of the weapon pile and a parachute. "You morons." Vein climbed to the edge of the building and jumped. Seconds later. Vein pressed the button and the explosion began to make the entire building crumble. Gloria finally got the lasso aroundTylerand she was pulling him up when the explosion went off.
"We have to get out of here!" Riki grabbed two parachutes and threw one over to Gloria. "We have to jump." Riki and Gloria ran over to the edge and jumped just as the building began to crumble. Gloria cried the entire trip down. All she could think of wasTyler's face as she let go of his hands and let him fall.
When they landed Vein was standing by with his sword drawn. "You guys are helpless. Prepare to die." Vein jumped forward and crudely slashed Riki in the chest. Riki fell to the ground as his clothing began to turn red with blood. "NO!" Gloria drew a throwing knife and landed it in Veins eye. Not deep enough to get his brain though. Vein fell to the ground writhing in agony. Gloria had no compassion to him, he may of just killed her two best friends. Mercilessly, Gloria threw another knife into his stomach then two more into his legs. Finally the last knife was thrown into his neck.
Gloria went onto her wrist pad and asked for something to heal Riki. Moments later a package of bandages were arriving from the air. Gloria hoped that it wasn't to late. He had lost a lot of blood.
Later that day
Tain stood in the center of the arena, glass from the skyscraper was everywhere. There was also a giant rock. In only a few minutes his team mates would arrive. He had specifically chosen three people to meet him in the center of the battle field so they could team up. "Hello Tain." Tain turned around and smiled. "Good to see you Croy. I think we should have an alliance." Croy scratched his hairless chin and nodded. "Sounds good, any one else coming?" Tain looked around for a bit. "Yeah, two more people should be coming."
Tain and Croy waited for a few minutes when they finally saw Tyra walking towards them with her crossbow drawn. Tain and Croy greeted her. The last person to arrive was Terris. Tain had recruited all of the best 12 year olds. (And Croy) Unfortunately, Sarah and Elidh couldn't come. (Elidh died in the skyscraper collapse and Sarah was going with her sister.)
