find any spelling or grammatical inform me, again English is not my first language.

Chapter 25 - Free At Last

Time: 9:00 A.M

Location - Inside the castle.

"Are we all ready yet?" Imboo asked everyone, holding his rifle.

"I'm ready..." Sharilyn had her sniper ready.

"Ready." Ribsor and Absol said in unision, holding a pistol in their hands, Ribsor having a rifle on his back and Absol an MP4.

"I'm ready. It's time for new weapons!" Alex was holding an AK-47.

"Reaaady." AJ was holding two desert eagles.

"I am ready." Brave had an MP4 with him.

"Ready..." Mighty had a baseball bat on her hands and a pistol in her pocket.

"I am very ready." Naegis had a rifle on his arms.

"What about Anthony and Lord?" Ribsor asked for them.

"Lord said any minute now, these pesky collars will be- you know." Naegis said.

"You can say whatever. Lord said the collars deactivated the mic. So fuck you Alan! Sorry Ethan..." Absol said.

"We can't leave just yet until Lord is ready to go." Imboo said.

"But what about Anthony? What are we gonna do with him? He just murdered Mojo..." AJ said.

"Who cares if Sharilyn can murder Snoop and get away with it so can Anthony." Alex said.

"True...True..." Mighty said.

"Stop bringing that up..." Sharilyn said.

"You literally murdered him without telling us until now!" Imboo said.

"Whatever." Sharilyn ignored him.

"IT'S DONE." Lord yelled from the other room.

"Oh my god." Imboo said.

Lord came out of the room without his collar. He threw it on the ground and smashed it.

Everyone began taking off the collars from themselves and smashed it on the ground.

"Does that mean Janey is gonna take it off now?" Mighty asked Lord.

"Probably...who knows..." Lord said.

"How many even remain still?" Imboo asked him.

"If I remember correctly from hearing Alan on the mic. At least 12." Naegis said.

"Yeah...all of us here and Janey are the last remaining survivors." Lord said.

"So we can't leave just yet?" Ribsor asked.

"We can't leave until we take down Janey and take down Alan. Who cares about the law? This ain't a law." Lord said.

"What do you mean..." Alex said.

"They captured us again, for this game. If you guys didn't know... I was one of the survivors from the last game. The game I participated in...only me and someone else got to live. It...was painful. 40 students killing each other again, It feels terrible witnessing this again. Janey in the other hand is a bigger veteran than me, she was one of the very firsts to be in this game. Participated in each game. Nobody can kill her. If we don't do something about her we're all going to pretty much die." Lord explained the reasons why he's here.

"But isn't the law in Japan, since there's too many students in this country that...they had to create these games in order to decrease the population?" Sharilyn said.

"Yes. Illegaly. It is an illegal law created by the mastermind himself." Lord said.

"Who is the mastermind?" AJ asked him.

"Nobody knows. Only Alan does. He's not the mastermind at all." Lord said.

"But why did he host this game...and EVEN kill his SON?" Alex asked him.

"He wanted to for the money. I want to kill him so badly for this. He's been hosting this for years. It freaking sucks because nobody on EARTH knows about this game, and the only person to survive needs to keep their mouth shut and not tell anybody or else they get tracked down and killed." Lord said.

"I see..." Ribsor said.

"So scary to think we're the only ones here that can take down Janey." AJ said.

"Well...I coudn't ever work with anyone on my last game because everyone wanted to kill me. But thank god you guys don't turn on each other." Lord said.

"Yeah..." Sharilyn said.

"So anyways, should we head out now?" Absol asked.

"Yeah. We should split into a team of two." Imboo suggested.

"We're going to hunt down Janey and then go to the school. I think a few of us should head to the school first and make clear for the way." Lord said.

"Hmm, not a bad idea. But I think splitting up is a bad idea." Imboo said.

"You just said It wasn't a bad idea!" Lord said.

"I have to agree. That's terrible." Alex said.

"Fine then. If one of you dies. It would be tragic." Lord said as he began walking away from everyone.

"Hey! Wait for us...!" Imboo headed to him.

"Oh, we're leaving." Brave picked up his bag and began walking.

Everyone headed outside and saw Anthony sitting in front of the castle, everyone kept walking except for Imboo, Mighty and Alex.

"Hey man." Imboo pulled his arm to Anthony. Anthony saw it and Imboo pulled him up.

Imboo hugged him and patted his back.

"We know It's hard what you're going through, but in order for us to leave this island we need you." Imboo offered his rifle to Anthony.

"Fine...Fine..." Anthony sighed and grabbed the rifle, putting it on his back.

"You better not shoot us with that." Alex pointed his gun to his head.

"I won't idiot." Anthony chuckled.

Alex rolled his eyes and Mighty chuckled.

"Alright good. We need to go now." Imboo started walking along with the others.

Location: Grassy Fields, Island.

"The castle looks really pretty from far away, never noticed that." Mighty said looking behind her.

"Yeah...well this is the last time we will ever probably see another castle like that." Sharilyn said.

"Ah stop being so negative." Ribsor said.

"Who cares." Sharilyn said.

"You're just pissed because you killed your future boyfriend." Ribsor said.

"Shut the fuck up!" Sharilyn yelled. She was starting to get pissed off.

"We're not even there yet and you're all fighting already. Stop that." Lord said.

"Let's just...Let's talk about. Last year. What was last year like for everyone?" AJ suggested.

"It was pretty good, I enjoyed the school I was in." Imboo said.

"Same here, It's where I got to meet Marie. It was great." Alex said.

"Yup. Me and Absol we're in the same school, enjoyed our time together.

"Rowen...I'm sad...I'm sad he's gone...But I know for a fact he'd want me to move on and escape this cruel game. I spent most of my school life with him. He was like, my love..." Mighty sighed.

"Don't worry, he's probably in a better place than here for sure." Naegis hugged her.

"Yeah that's right." Lord said.

"T'was pretty good. Didn't do much, didn't have much friends, but It was good for me." Anthony said.

"I'm so glad we're all going to make it out of this dumb island together. I never thought I'd get close to you people." Brave said.

"Yeah...me and Brave's original group didn't make it sadly." Absol said.

"We only lost Ethan. It was me, Ethan, Sharilyn and Mighty." Imboo said.

"I never had a group to begin with." Naegis said.

"Now you do." Absol said.

"I was with Marie. I tried my best to keep her alive." AJ was being honest.

"Want me to shoot you in the head?" Alex asked him.

"I'm good. No need to be upset." AJ said.

"I was with Imma originally." Ribsor said.

"Was with Mojo for the longest time. Sad he's gone...he was pretty nice." Lord said.

"I was alone most of the time as well looking for Brandon, hooked up with Melli for a while. Saw he got killed. Tragic." Anthony said.

"To be honest I woudn't mind hanging out with you guys outside this house." Imboo said.

"Same here." Mighty said.

"That's the spirit." Lord said.

"Yeah we should all go to a restaurant or something once we get out!" AJ suggested.

"Wendy's?" Imboo suggested.

"Ew no." Alex said.

"Come on...any better?" Imboo sighed.

"McDonalds." Alex said.

"That's not a restaurant..." Imboo said.

"Neither is Wendy's." Alex said.

"Oh let's all just go to McDonalds." Ribsor said.

"Yes!" Alex said.

"Whatever..." Imboo said.

"Then McDonalds it is." AJ chuckled.

"I like McDonalds." Mighty said.

"Hm. McDonalds isn't healthy thought." Naegis said.

"Wanna go to Wendy's then? Doesn't have fat calories like McDonalds." Imboo chuckled.

"Yeah I'd rather eat Wendy's." Naegis said.

"Only two of you even like wendy's so good luck having fun with anyone once we meet up outside." Alex chuckled back.

"No need to be so cruel." Imboo sighed.

"I'm like. Bored of being here. It's been three days and I miss playing with my console." Absol said.

"Yeah same here. I miss my games." Ribsor said.

"Feels like we've been here for a year." Brave said.

"Right?! Feels like eternal, but thank god Lord saved our lives." Mighty said.

"Thank youuu Lord." Naegis said.

"Yeah yeah, thanks for not blowing my brains out on Day 1." Lord smiled.

"From 40 people we made it to the final 12. We should feel pretty proud." AJ said.

"I do. But on the inside, who cares anyways." Alex said.

"I'm revealing their stupid illegal law, don't care if I get tracked the world needs to know." Imboo said.

"Yeah...I'm gonna do the same now that we have an army, a.k.a us to take down the mini mastermind." Lord chuckled.

"It's going to be so easy." Anthony said.

"I'm saving this gun forever, It's one of my favorites." Brave said.

The group was still discussing about their life walking on the path to the school.

Location: Collapsed Warehouse.

"Holy...what the hell..." Lord said.

"Yeah...It's all destroyed now." AJ said.

"The bomb really destroyed it." Absol said.

"Bomb? Oh right you told us." Lord said.

"We should...be careful. Maybe she can be around?" AJ said.

"Not possible. She'd probably be by the castle by now, hearing the gunshots from everyone who died over there." Lord said.

"Weird how I didn't hear a gunshot when Snoop was killed..." Ribsor said.

"You don't mean...he's alive...?" Imboo asked him.

"Nah." Ribsor said.

"Poor Snoop. Didn't deserve such a cruel fate." Imboo said.

"Can you all stop fucking bringing Snoop up? Shut the fuck up." Sharilyn was getting more pissed each time.

"How about you get over him already? Everyone here is all fine. You're the one crying each time. Seriously, we can't have you thinking about Snoop every 3 seconds It's annoying." Ribsor chuckled.

"You're the ones FUCKING BRINGING IT UP." Sharilyn was at her last straw.

"Who cares. Now stop whining and-" Ribsor was about to finish his sentence until Sharilyn pulled out her sniper rifle and aimed it to his head.

"I mean it. Shut the hell up. You are the one BEING annoying this whole time trying to make me feel guilty over ME, killing him. If you dare move I will shoot you."

Imboo, Brave, AJ, Anthony and Absol. pulled out their guns and drew it to Sharilyn's direction.

"Why did YOU kill him?" Ribsor asked her, standing still.

"Because I loved HIM." Sharilyn said.

"You don't kill loved ones..." Ribsor said.

"Put the gun down Sharilyn." AJ asked her.

"Hell no! You guys put it down!" Sharilyn said.

"You're threathing to kill Ribsor, come on we're all working together!" Imboo said.

"We are not working together, you are all JUST BULLIES, making fun of me, making me FEEL GUILTY EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR ME killing SNOOP." Sharilyn was losing her mind.

"She's gone insane..." Lord said.

Absol tried to walk to Ribsor but Sharilyn prepared her gun more steadily into Ribsor's head, Ribsor not moving at all.

"Please Sharilyn, stop it..." Absol begged her.

"Shut the hell up. Take another step and I'll shoot him. And I mean IT." Sharilyn said.

"Please...don't..." Absol said, trying to get closer to Ribsor.

"It's alright Absol. Everything will be alright. Sharilyn is mad her booooyfriend is gone and she's just jealous of us. Let me spell that. J-e-a-l-o-u-s, but Absol. Just remember, I'll always lo-" Ribsor was about to finish his sentence until, Sharilyn shot Ribsor in the head.

Absol rushed to Ribsor who was about to fall to the ground from being killed and yelled "NO!"

Everyone was shocked and was near to shooting Sharilyn until, Sharilyn suddenly got a hole in her head. It was a gunshot.

Sharilyn got shot in the head and fell to the ground, everyone looking at each other in utter shock.

"W-Who shot her...?" Naegis said.

"I didn't shoot her..." Imboo said.

"Why did Ribsor...say all that with confidence...did he know he was getting killed...what the heck..." AJ said.

"I haven't even...Oh my god." Brave said.

"L-Look OUT! RUN!" Lord said and warned everyone spoting Janey who was sniping them.

Janey was in the forest, reloading her gun. She was near the group.

Everybody took cover over the remaining broken parts of the Warehouse which had no roof or walls.
