Killing Olympics

Prologue: The intense warm up. Part 1

My eyes ebbed open as I slowly sat up. My mind was all fuzzy as I began to analyze my surroundings. Where am I? I pondered now fully sat up. The room was poorly lit with only light coming from a nearby window but what I could gather, I was currently sitting in the middle of a changing room; lockers and benches enveloped me and from the lack of urinals present it must have been a female. It was nothing out of the ordinary but I could feel an ominous vibe. I should up hesitantly looking around to see if anything could tell me why I was there.

"What the heck is going on?" I whispered to myself. Abruptly a vibration erupts in my pocket startling me. I reach into my pocket and found a phone-like electronic device though it did not like any standard phone I have seen. There was a notification on the screen saying '1 new message.' Reluctantly, I pressed it.

"One new voice message: Hello new athletes! Will you please proceed to the conference room B in the hotel!" The voice sounded relatively upbeat. " Swiftly please...lateness or disobedience will not be tolerated and punishment will be dealt! Thank you."

"That escalated quickly. But what did they mean 'new athletes'" I spoke quietly. The voicemail app closed and showed the home screen, Rina Crawley: Ultimate Long Distance Runner's e-Handbook.

"They know my name! This is getting creepy…still though I better get a move on. I'm gonna find any answers here." I departed the room and entered a well it corridor. "Which way…" Suddenly a door smacked me in my face knocking me back a few paces before landing on my behind. "Ouch!" I whimpered while holding my face in pain.

" Oh sorry about that, I didn't see you there! Here!" I looked up to see well tanned with broad shoulders which matched his muscular physique. He had messy, long, brown hair that matched his dark brown eyes. He was wearing a dark blue jacket unzipped revealing white tank top under it. The jacket had a symbol with the letter SH emblazoned on it. His shorts were cut above the knees had possessed the same shade of blue as his jackets and his shoes that lightning-bolt like zig zags on them. His white socks were bunched at his ankles. He extended his hand out to aid me. I cautiously accepted his help. "Are you okay champ? Nothing broken?" He spoke as he pulled me up. He was slightly shorter than me but so were most people.

"Yeah I'm good…" I replied. I looked at the door in which he exited from and it was the male changing room adjacent to the female one. " Say, did you wake up in the changing room?"

"Yeah! It a bit weird really...last thing I remember was leaving my local swimming pool then I think I was swarmed by some people…" The boy spoke contemplating. That's right I similar thing happened to me. I realised. Which means… I looked down and registered that I was still wearing my morning jogging clothes. A simple cherry shorts with a white vest. The only thing that could be considerably be considered stylish were my vibrate lime green sneakers which encased ankle socks. "By the look of your face, it seems something on those lines happened to you too."

"Oh...yeah! I was doing a morning jog before I also got ambushed." I responded still trying to be cautious.

"Oh where am I manners. The name's Akio Shimizu, the Ultimate Swimming Coach! Nice to meet you!" Akio exclaimed with a grin on his face. ay.

Akio Shimizu

Ultimate Swimming Coachz

"I'm Rina Crawley… the Ultimate errr…Long Distance Runner. " I tried to recall from the home screen of the e-Handbook which I glimpsed at.

"Oh a long distance runner, hey?" Akio said with glee in his voice.

"Ahhhh! What the heck are you going!" I screamed as Akio started feeling and massaging my upper left leg.

"I see...a lot of muscle mass in legs combine with your tall, lanky fame means you have a powerful long stride." Akio analyzed. "Have you either considered swimming? I know that swimming and running have a lot in common."

Lanky? Akio's previous comments made a bit self conscious. It's true I did have small chest and had a pear body shape but he did not need to bring it up. " No I haven't." I replied, trying to conceal my offence.

"Well after we get out of this mess, give a thought alright." Akio spoke genuinely. Despite unintentionally insulting me, he seemed very friendly and approachable though I expect nothing from a coach. " But right now, I gotta make my way to a conference room in some hotel."

"Oh right same. Maybe we can help each other find it."

"Nice! After all, teamwork makes the dream work! Let's go!" His voice was laced with confidence. We walked left from the corridor where from a set of stairs that led into a reception area where a dark skin with black braids in a feed-in ponytail style. She was quite voluptuous having curvaceous hips,butt, chest and a bulging belly. She had a tight black leggings with white a white hexagonal pattern on the sides of her hips and had a magenta long sleeve crop top. The top reach just below are breasts while the leggings reach her belly button. The clothes were tight and the clothes were cutting into her waist. She had dark brown almost black eyes which were currently fixed on what appeared an e-Handbook.

"Hey there!" Akio called out. The female turned her head in acknowledgement before her glance returned to the e-Handbook.

"If you are trying to hit on me, just keep walking." The girl spoke with a lot of sass.

"It's nothing like that I was just…"

"Oh! You are already with a girl." She said referring to me. Her eyes hovered over me briefly" Yeah she's alright I guess…"

"Yous are so rude!" My northern english accent broke out as I quickly snapped back. " We aren't even together!"

"Hey guys! No negativity on this team! My name is Akio Shimizu! The Ultimate Swimming Coach!" Akio digressed the conversation.

"And I am Rina Crawley, the Ultimate Long-Distance Runner!" I added not as enthusiastically as Akio.

"Oh I am Rutendo Kizita. And based on my e-Handbook I am the Ultimate Rugby Player." Rutendo announced.

Rutendo Kizita

Ultimate Rugby Player

"Oh! You must be physically strong! You will be a great contribution to the team." The swimming coach grinned as he was about to wrap his arm Rutendo but she quickly intercepted by grabbing his forearm.

"You don't get to touch!" Rutendo snarled and tightened his grip before releases it.

"Very strong grip you have." Akio winced in pain rubbing his arm.

"So what do you two want?"

"We were heading to the hotel but we don't know where we are goi…"

"The e-Handbook has a map with your current location on it." Rutendo interrupted me showing the map in my face.

"Oh really?" I retrieved my e-Handbook and began digging deeper into the new piece of technology and found the map feature.

"Thank you Rutendo! You are a great aspect to our te..." Rutendo heading towards the door ignoring Akio.

"What's her problem?" I wondered.

"She's a stubborn one." Akio rubbed the back of his hand. "But it shows she's strong to! And she did tell us how to go navigate."

"True…"I agreed before we also departed. We left the building which on closer inspection we found out was a leisure centre. Outside was a square courtyard with a fountain in the middle. The fountain had a sculpture of a muscular man with a heavy beard and moustache attracted to hair. There were three other buildings that made up the courtyard with a metallic mesh dome encapsulating the whole facility. One of them was a multi storey complex that looked like your standard luxury hotel in the city . It had a red canopy above the stairs which led to the entrance. Inside was even more luxurious, the lobby was to the right with reception with a corridor adjacent to the right of the reception which lead to elevators. Perpendicular to the corridor led to the conference centre. They were two conference rooms next to each other one labelled A and B.

"Here we are!" I said standing near the door near conference room A.

"I guess our team is splitting up already." Akio said with a hint of disappointment.

"Huh? What do you mean?" I was puzzled as Akio lingered near the conference room B.

"My e-Handbook book told me to go to B."

"Ah I see." I was disheartened.

"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll meet again!" Akio grinned placing his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah I hope so. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of all this." I smiled before entering the room. We opened the door revealing 8 other people standing in an open spacious room with a wide mirror on the right hand and a TV with a door adjacent. They appeared to be all around my age.

"See I told you more people coming." Rutendo smirked.

"You took your time." A light skin male spoke bluntly. He had a shaved side brown fohawk hairstyle which contrasted against his mint green eyes with a scar on his eyebrow just above. Black sunglasses were resting on his forehand which balanced against his flashy silver watch. He had a mint green, long sleeved shirt with the top 3 buttons undone with the sleeves rolled up to the elbow. The trousers were navy blue and had brown loafers." Rutendo arrived 5 minutes ago."

"Bently what's the rush? We don't even know why we are here? Just relax a bit." Another a man spoke. He had brown skin typical for those of oriental descendant. He was very lean and had long black hair and had a sharp jawline; his face was handsome. He donned a purple letterman jacket with the initials IM on the right sleeve which were white matching his white button shirt. His jacket had yellow accents on it making it the overall jacket vibrate. His rubber shoes coordinated his jacket as it was also purple with yellow accents. His outfit was completed with black jeans. "Hi, I'm Ayden Amora Villaromán,the Pearl of the Orient. The Ultimate Billiard Player."

Ayden Amora Villaromán

"This is Bentley Wilkinson, the Ultimate Hockey Player." Ayden pointed at the light skinned male.

Bentley Wilkinson

Ultimate Hockey Player

"I don't need you to introduce me." Bentley added. "Also, just call Ben."

"I'm Rina Crawley, the Ultimate Long Distance Runner." I followed.

"Did you guys also wake up in a random place in this place?" Ayden looked at me.

"Yeah in some leisure centre?" I responded.

"So where's your friend?" Rutendo butted in.

"He went to another conference room." I replied, still skeptical about Rutendo's overall demeanor.

"So many questions. Why are we trapped here? Why are they splitting us up?" Ben thought out loud.

"THIS PLACE IS SO CREEPY! I DON'T TO BE HERE!" A high pitched voice yelled from behind us. She was average height for a girl. She also looked oriental but her skin was much lighter, quite frankly it was pale but not like an European skin. Her jet black flowed from a central parting in her head being straight closer to her head but became wavy at the ends which had streaks of blonde. It She had a beauty mark underneath her left which complemented her hazel brown eyes. Her body build was fairly lean. She wore a yellow, long sleeved jersey that finished at her waist with the sleeves were black. On the right side of her chest near her bosom was crest in a shield shape. It was black with a yellow lightning bolt in the centre. At the bottom it said Seoul Lightning. On her upper right arm in white text saying "Savanna". There was the number 7 on her back. She wore matt black leggings which also had the crest on it her right leg. She were white sneakers with yellow streaks on them. Around her neck where a set of black headphones with a microphone attached.

"Hey! There is no good whining about it!" Another lady replied in a stern fashioned. She was noticeably taller than the other but her complexion was similar; white with a slight tan and also appeared to be oriental. She was also lean but was also toned unlike the other female but she had similar hair which was straight and black with a slight curl at the ends that reached past her shoulders. She had distinctive green eyes. She wore a with a checkered red and black flannel with the last two buttons undone accompanied with short sleeves revealing a long sleeveblack plain top underneath. She wore blue skinny jeans with white converse and white socks. She had a lokai bracelet on her wrist filled with some fluid in it.

"I'm sorry Ryoko-senpai." The first female replied, her voice filled with guilt as she looked . "Oh! I'm Park Sai-ya!" Her mood quickly changed as she sharply faced me, her eyes were glittering. " But if that's too much for you to say you can call me 'Savanna'! That's my gaming name. I play for Seoul Lightning and…"

"She didn't ask for you backstory! Just keep it short and simple." Ryoko instructed. She had an american accent.

"I'm sorry Ryoko-senpai…" Savanna sulked again.

"And stop calling me senpai!" Ryoko lashed out again resulting in Savanna to collapse on her knees crying. Ryoko sighed. "Just ignore her. I'm Ryoko Lee, the Ultimate Track/Field Star."

Ryoko Lee

Ultimate Track/Field Star

"Oh! Track and Field!" My spoke in an excited manner. It was nice to meet someone with a similar talent to me. "I'm the Ultimate Long-Distance Runner, Rina Crawley."

"What type of running do you?" Ryoko asked.

"Oh like cross-country, marathons and even rally crosses."

"Oh that's pretty cool. The longest I run is 1200m. You must have immense stamina to do that!" She praised.

"Yeah, it took time to build it, a lot of early morning runs." I added.

"Hardwork pays off." She smiled at me.

"I'm Savanna...Ultimate Esports player…" Savanna spoke softly still on her knees sulking.

Park "Savanna" Sai-ya

Ultimate eSports Player

"Did I do good Ryoko sen... Ryoko." She corrected herself.

"Come on! Stand up, I don't bite all the time…" Ryoko comforted her.

"Yes Ryoko-senpai!" The Ultimate gamer cheered as she rapidly got back to her foot. "Come on Rina, let me introduce you to the others!" She quickly grabbed me and pulled me towards me.

"Woooah!" I screamed.

"Savanna! What are you doing?!" Ryoko shouted.

"Making sure everyone introduces themselves to your standards!" Savanna grinned as she pulled me towards another girl standing by herself. She had vibrant sky blue hair in the manner twin plats which contrasted against her golden eyes. She was of a small build with a little chest and narrow hips. I noticed a scar on her neck area which blended in with her pale complexion, She rocked a white short sleeve shirt with a black vest on top complimenting her black skirt and black ballet shoes. The skirt had a blue trim matching with the blue ribbons of the shoes.

"Excuse me! This is Rina! The Ultimate Long Distance and I'm Park Sai-ya! Make sure your introduction is brief and not too long, okay?" Savanna instructed.

" I don't need you to tell me how to introduce myself." The blue haired girl replied.

"I'm sorry, I was trying to help!" Savanna once again crashed to the floor crying. The girl looked at me with questioning eyes and I simply shrugged my shoulders.

"So, you want my name huh? It's Uni Dorobo, the Ultimate Gymnast." Uni declared. " Pleasure to meet you...Rina was it?"

Uni Dorobo

Ultimate Gymnast

"Yeah. Say do you know you why we are here?" I asked.

"Does it look like I know something." Uni remarked.

"Ummm, that's not what I meant…." I said nervously. " Were you also abducted?"

"Yeah!" Savanna pounced quickly to her feet. "I was in my room, in the middle of a gaming sesh in my room, oh right I haven't told you what game I play, well I play several games but the one my career centres around is Siege of Glory. It's an FPS shooter with some hero shooter elements in it such as…"

"Yeah I was. " Uni said as Savanna continued to ramble on. " I was leaving my local gym and some guys swarmed me." That's strange, they seemed to have abducted as before during or after we were doing our talents. I wandered

"What do they want with us." I muttered.

"I main Getsa cause she oriental, fiery and passionate, LIKE ME!" The e-girl continued to ramble on. " HEY ARE YOU GUYS LISTENING!"

"No not really…" Uni said bluntly.

"WAAAAAAAH!" The gamer for the fourth time fell to her knees crying.

"Can you stop crying!" I turned to see where the source came from. It was a very muscular man and very tall. Just slightly taller than me and that's saying something. He had fair skin and blue eyes with a sharp jawline with two gold earrings on his right ear. He had a buzz cutt and his hair was appeared to be dyed multi-coloured. He seemed to have been in a couple of accidents in his time as he was missing couple of teeth and had scars on his face. He wore two earrings on his right ear and had a tongue ring. A red leather jacket rested on his shoulders with black stripes and black gloves co-coordinating with his black top, jeans and socks contrasting his red boots. He had a red backpack behind him. " Sorry, I just don't like it when people cry." His voice was now kind-hearted and nicer.

"I understand." Savanna wails quickly died down before she quickly changed her sitting position to her legs crossed.

"Let's start at the beginning. I'm Chase Rock or Rocky! The Ultimate Snowboarder." Rocky introduced. ay.

Chase "Rocky" Rock

Ultimate Snowboarder

"That nickname is terrible!" Savanna giggled with her hand covering her mouth.

"Like yours is any better." Uni commented.

"Hey!" Savanna rapidly stood. " Savanna is great name! The savanna, the grasslands of Africa, full of life and hot and is beautiful...like me!"

" Keep telling yourself that." The gymnast replied causing the gamer to quickly sulk. Savanna mood saw changes quickly. I sighed. "You're so meeeeeeaaaaannnnn!"

"Guys chill out. There is no need to worry! Why? Because here comes Jack McConner , the greatest Star Blitzball Player in history." Jack declared. He was the tallest person in the room (taller than Rocky) with a muscular build but not as muscular as him .His skin was slightly tanned making his baby blue eyes even more distinct and had short, jet black hair that was messy. His clothes were basic, wearing a simple navy blue t-shirt and white loose shorts that went to his knees. His outfit was finished with black and white sneakers.

Jack McConner

Ultimate Star Blitz-ball player

"Who refers to themselves in third-person." Savanna spoke under her breath in a cheeky manner.

"A champion that's who." Jack grinned with his thumb pointing inwards at his chest.

"Ooooh...my team hasn't been champions yet..." Savanna's voice died down.

"I wasn't trying to put you down or anything." Jack felt remorseful.

"Just ignore her, from what I have seen she goes from zero to hundred in a second." I sighed.

"I figured by all the cryin…"

"But I myself have have won many tournaments! Before I play Siege." The Ultimate eSports player interrupted the Blitz-ball player on cue before rambling on.

"Attention athletes, thank you for patience. I know you have many questions but now let us introduce you to the games co-ordinator…. Monokuma" The PA spoke.

"What the heck is going on…" Ben spoke. Suddenly the TV turned on revealing a half white and half black sitting in a luxury office chair. It's white side had a black button like eye while on the black side was a glowing red eye in a pelicular evil sharp manner fitting with the big grin also only present on the dark side. Its belly button was protruding out.

"Hello athleting and welcome to the Killing Olympics! In this olympic park you will cultivate your talents and skills! I know I can bear-ly contain my excitement." The bear started speaking.

"Is this CGI?" Uni spoke in disbelief.

"No it looks too real. I have seen many CGI cutscenes in my time...looks like an animatronic." Savanna convinced.

"I know you have so many questions but your Squad Coach will be with you shortly. Good luck in your future be full of wonder!" The TV turned black and the words 'No Signal' appeared.

" Wait, what did he mean 'Killing Olympics'?" I spoke in a worried tone.

"I bet they put it the word 'Killing' in their to make the competition sound extreme." Ryoko justified.

"Like X-Games or something. Not gonna lie I am down for a bit of competition." Ayden said.

"He also said something about squad coaches? Perhaps that's why we were split up." Ben concluded.

"I hope you guys are right." I spoke still worried.

"You worry too much Rina." Jack said in a calm manner. Suddenly the door near the TV opened and to our surprise a four feet bear similar in design to Monokuma but orange was present instead of black and on his white, right arm was an armband saying Squad Coach.

"Hello squad. I am your coach leader, Monoorenji!" The bear spoke in a more femine voice compared to Monokuma. "Let's try our best to win these killings olympics." The room fell silent as everyone appeared stunned. The bear moved so fluidly like it was actually alive."

"So cuuuuuutteee!" Savanna purred.

"This just went from creepy to weird." Uni said bluntly.

"Ummm, excuse me! I have better things to do with my life that compete in some petty games, so if you can show me the way to the nearest exit out of this place. Thanks." Rutendo snarled.

"I'm sorry Rutendo but there is only one way you to escape and that's to win the Olympics." Monoorenji apologised.

"Okay...bye bye!" Rutendo said bluntly before she headed towards the main door. Abruptly two large sized guns appeared from a panel above it and aimed straight at Rutendo startling everyone in the room save for one person.

"Impressive! A PKP Pecheneg machine gun!" Savanna eyes lit up.

"Okay...perhaps I can stay for a bit longer." Rutendo quickly whimpered.

"So I am assuming you this "game" is compulsory." Ben concluded.

"You can't do this! This is illegal!" Ryoko shouted.

"So...how do we win this Olympics." I asked.

"Simple Rina…" Monoorenji said calmly before an evil grin appeared on his face. "By killing them!" Monoorenji pointed at the now see through mirror revealing the other conference room and 9 other individuals. One of them was Akio. "They are the enemy and they must be eliminated." From that moment on things weren't the same.
