Chapter 2 - Ready? Begin!

"I'm number 1," said Alphonse Elric standing up holding the piece of paper.

"Very well," said Teacher, "You'll find your pack outside."

Alphonse was a special contestant this year. His collar wasn't placed around his neck. You see Alphonse Elric was simply a soul anchored to a suit of armor. Alphonse's collar was attached to the anchor point in the body of armor, which turned out to be on his back on the inside of the armor.

"Wait for me outside," whispered Alphonse's brother Edward Elric as Alphonse exited, "I'm number 14."

Alphonse quickly ran outside, grabbing his pack and checking the inside of it. "A scalpel?" said Al to himself pulling his weapon out of the pack. Unhappy with his weapon Al ran and hid inside a nearby dumpster.

Al watched as some armed guards put the next person's pack in position and was about to go and steal it when the next person came out of the door.

Tetsuo Shima exited, smiling evilly. He grabbed his pack, checked its weapon, which turned out to be a pair of sai. Tetsuo threw them on the ground in frustration and flew off into the air with the rest of his pack.

"Would the third person please leave now?" said Teacher glancing up from his watch.

"Most certainly," said L getting up from his crouching position on the floor. L's gaze turned from the TV to Light Yagami from across the room. Light scowled at the owl-eyed genius. L simply observed Light for a little while, and then exited.

As L exited the building he couldn't help but stare up at the moon hopelessly. "Well this is an unfavorable position I'm in." L reached down and picked up his pack and the discarded pair of sai, immediately checking the weapon in his pack. "A sub-machine gun AND sai, how lucky for me."

Alphonse shifted a little in the dumpster as he watched L and made just enough noise for L's trained ears to hear. "Why hello in there," said L turning to the dumpster. "Is the metal man in here?" Said L lifting the lid off the dumpster.

"Uh, hi," said Alphonse nervously holding his legs to his chest.

"Ah, I thought it was you," said L climbing into the dumpster and shutting the lid. "Who are we waiting for?"

"Ah, well, uh, wait. We?" stuttered Alphonse regarding this new development. "Does this person really expect to group with me and brother?" wondered Al. "I'm not sure I can trust you totally," said Al as politely as he could.

L cut Al off with a palm to his face. The 4th person was exiting.

*****

Inuyasha, the half-demon, came out of the building with a stern look on his face. Without even opening his pack Inuyasha grabbed it and ran off into the woods. "Ah the woods," thought Inuyasha, "My home-field."

The next person to exit was Luffy. Al and L watched him as he grabbed his pack and stretched his arms to the roof of the building and pulled himself up, perching on top.

"He's obviously waiting for someone too," said L to Al inside the dumpster. "Which brings me back to the question," said L, "Who are we waiting for?"

Al sighed; it would be no easy task getting rid of this freeloader. "I'll let brother decide what to do with this person once he gets out." "We're waiting for my brother, Edward Elric," said Al to L.

"Hm…" said L, sticking his thumb in his mouth as he often did. "I'd be careful using your full names around this particular crowd of people. I know of two people who can kill you, simply by writing your name down," said L to Al.

This was L's way of saying thank you to Al for sharing his bit of information. Information for information, a good trade in L's point of view. "He's your brother is he? I suppose I can trust you two."

Just as L finished his sentence out walked Aizen Sosuke, smiling. He picked up his pack and checked the weapon inside it. "Night vision goggles, certainly useful," thought Aizen as he placed them back into his pack and walked to the side of the building. However, Aizen didn't leave, it appeared he was staying.

The armed guards placed the next person's pack and Aizen simply took it the second it was placed. Aizen slung it around the other shoulder and waited.

Suddenly the 7th person flew out of the door at a high speed. Aizen immediently drew his sword. Vegeta, not too happy his pack was taken, immediately spotted Aizen with two packs.

"Shatter, Kayoku Suigetsu" said Aizen with confidence. The second Vegeta glanced at Aizen's sword he was trapped in Aizen's perfect hypnosis. Aizen smiled as he made Vegeta feel blind, deaf, and a burning sensation all over his body. Vegeta dropped to the ground in pain.

Suddenly though Vegeta could see and hear again, the pain was gone and Aizen was gone. Vegeta didn't know what was going on but neither did he care, he flew off into the sky.

In reality Luffy, with his strong sense of justice, had knocked Aizen a good mile away with a powerful gum-gum bullet punch.

The next person to exit was Alucard, his pack carried a magnum pistol. Alucard smiled as he waited for the next person to exit. He climbed on top of the very dumpster L and Alphonse were hiding in.

The unlucky person to arrive outside the building next was Vash The Stampede. Quickly noticing Alucard standing in the corner he drew his guns in a flash. L, not trusting the dumpster to be bulletproof, leaped for cover behind Alphonse's armored body.

Alucard was filled with 6 bullet wounds to the head before he could take his gun out. Alucard fell to the ground. Vash smiled and put his guns back, turning away. Suddenly Vash heard a sound, it sounded like laughing. Vash turned and saw Alucard standing aiming his pistol at him, with a big smile on his face.

Vash couldn't do anything; he was shot in the head by the immortal gunfighter. Alucard walked over to Vash's body and took a look at the weapon Vash had in his pack. It was a pair of brass knuckles, useless to a gunfighter. Alucard left them instead taking Vash's two guns. Alucard suddenly heard a loud crash coming from the woods and ran to investigate it.

Next, came Chopper, a small reindeer type thing, obviously a friend of Luffy's since he stretched his arms and brought him up on top of the building with him. L and Al watched as Chopper and Luffy showed eachother what items they got. Luffy got some grenades and Chopper got pepper spray.

L seemed happy with the way things were going, he was learning things about everyone as they exited the building. "Edward is coming out in position number 14," whispered Al to L.

L simply took in the information without acknowledging him. Only three more people would come out before Edward. "I know one person we need to kill the minute he exits the building," said L to Al. "Given a chance he could kill many, many people."

1 dead, 34 to go.

I like how it's turning out, It's alot of fun deciding who would team up with who, Who would kill who, etc... It's still not too late to add people you want to see in the game. Refer to chapter 1 for a full list of who I'm currently putting in there.
