Chapter 3 - Early Casualties
Alphonse and L watched as Ichigo, Soul Eater, and Gaara exited next, Soul Eater picked up Vash's brass knuckles and headed into the woods.
Edward came out of the door next and picked up his pack, inside it he found a Derringer pistol. "Brother!" said Alphonse coming out of the dumpster.
Edward turned to face his brother smiling. "Hey Al!" he said, then turning to L he asked, "Who's your friend Al?"
"Come to think of it, I don't know his name," responded Al. Al turned to L and asked L, "My name is Alphonse Elric, what is your name?"
"Hm…" said L chewing on a fingernail, "I warned you about using your full name earlier. Anyway, you can call me L."
"Thanks for watching out for my little brother while I was gone, maybe I'll get a chance to return the favor sometime," said Edward as he knocked on Al's empty chest. "Let's go Al," and with that Ed and Al turned and began walking into the woods in front of them.
It didn't take long for Ed or Al to notice that L was still following them. "Do you want anything L?" said Edward to L after awhile of him following close behind him.
"Nothing at all Edward, however I could use some coffee right now, but seeing as you have none to offer I will simply make do with having your company for the time being if that's all right with you," replied L as if he'd been expecting the question for some time.
"Very well, suit yourself," said Edward, giving up on the idea of ever getting rid of L.

Meanwhile Luffy and Chopper had seen the three go into the woods with surprise. "I didn't know they were in that dumpster," Luffy said squinting so he could make out the last of them before they disappeared into the woods.
"Looks like we aren't the only people planning on teaming up," said Chopper to Luffy. "One thing though," asked Chopper in a more serious tone, "What happens when me, you, and Zoro are the only ones left? There can only be one survivor Luffy."
"Don't worry," said Luffy turning to Chopper, "We'll see how it goes, things usually work out by themselves if you go with the flow," said Luffy giving Chopper a thumbs up.
"Yeah!" said Chopper smiling back at Luffy.

The next person out was Yukari Tanizaki. Luffy and Chopper watched as she found car keys in her pack. The car that the keys went to was parked next to the mechs at the right of the building. It was a silver Toyota Corolla with many dents, scratches, and scars. Yukari drove off on a dirt road at an insane speed.

Back in the room, nineteen more people were still waiting, "Next up, number 16." Misa Amane stood up, "That's me," she said walking to the door. Before she went out she turned to Light Yagami one last time, crying.
Light Yagami was smiling, smiling evilly. "This is perfect!" he thought, "Misa, thank you for choosing number 16. It seems that I have more then just a god of death on my side." Light turned his paper around so Misa could see it clearly.
What Misa saw made her face light up and stop crying. Light's number was 17. Misa ran down the hallway and exited the building, grabbing her bag and sitting right down next to the door.
Light came out five minutes later and they embraced. "Yes, Misa is the perfect person to ally myself with. She has the shinigami eyes, she certainly won't betray me, and she won't suspect a thing when I kill her at the end."
Light reached underneath his shirt and pulled out a death note. "Luckily for me, Misa, I just so happened to be carrying a death note on me at the time we were taken here."
"Oh Light! You're so smart!" yelled Misa jumping at Light.
"Misa, first thing's first, we need shelter."
"Oh of course, Light, let's go look for shelter together!"
Light and Misa left towards the nearest city.

Contestants were let out continuously until everyone had been released. Some joined with friends, some preferred to face the challenge solo. Many were scared, some didn't feel a thing, and the especially crazy ones relished the concept of the Program.
*****
Shinji Ikari, the pilot of the Eva-01. A giant alien covered in mechanized armor which needs a constant power supply connected to it, such as the cord that is currently being used by Shinji.
Shinji Ikari patrolled the four-mile radius around the building from which the cord was connected to in his Eva. "Why is my machine the only one that needs a power cord constantly connected to it?" complained Shinji to himself, "I'd be better off killing myself."
Shinji stopped the Eva from walking and sunk his head into the controls. "Rei… Asuka… Misato…I can't do this…" Shinji suddenly pictured Asuka yelling at him for being a little baby. "It was true… I'm terrible," thought Shinji to himself.
Suddenly a warning light flashed inside the cockpit. "It's running on auxiliary power?" thought Shinji, "Did the power cord come unplugged?"
Shinji turned around just fast enough to see the face of Gaara who had followed the cord right to his position. Next to Gaara was a clean cut right through the power cord. Gaara turned to Shinji with a pure, heartless, pitiless glare.
Shinji screamed and couldn't move. Even thought he had 5 minutes of auxiliary power his body was in pure shock. Gaara's hand came up and Eva unit 01 began to sink into the ground. Shinji screaming the whole way, "It couldn't end like this. Please god no, not like this!" thought Shinji as he sunk deeper and deeper.
After Shinji's Eva had completely submerged into the earth Gaara turned and left Shinji screaming as the auxiliary power on his Eva ticked down to zero. Buried alive, a death Gaara was used to dealing out to people.

Ash Ketchum, not the smartest person to be involved in this year's event, came face to face with the most intelligent enemy he ever had the displeasure of meeting.
Light Yagami was in a bad mood. This little boy had stalled him from finding shelter with Misa for a moment. Before Light knew it this annoying boy had challenged him to fight.
Misa told Light Ash Ketchum's full name the minute he came into view. "Yes Misa, you will certainly prove your worth these next couple of days," thought Light to himself smiling as he wrote Ash's name in the death note.
Light watched as Ash threw a ball at him and to his surprise a small yellow mouse creature came out of it. "Go Pikachu!" yelled Ash as he pointed to the gothic looking couple.
As the Pikachu jumped at Misa and Light Misa took out her designated weapon, a shotgun, and killed the poor unsuspecting animal, mid-jump.
"Face it Ash Ketchum," said Light to the Ash as he ran towards his dead animal. "You've lost, you're already dead Ash. Once a name is written in my death note, they WILL die forty seconds later," Light smiled at Ash's misery. "I thank you though for showing me how your little monster summoning spheres work though. I'll put them to excellent use when you're gone," this was the last thing Ash heard before the death note killed him. He died next to his beloved Pikachu, Light took the rest of boy's Pokemon for using as he saw fit. Light checked Ash's weapon but it was simply a hammer, this would do him no use so he left it.
Misa and Light walked off leaving the dead bodies to soak in the rain. Shelter was their first concern at the moment. Light didn't see any way for him to lose if he had Misa. "I'm going to win this game L, just watch me."

"I'm going to destroy the whole planet!" yelled Broly as he flew up into the air. Broly's hand began to form a mass of green energy. Broly had quickly changed into his legendary super saiyan form the minute he exited the building. "Come out Kakarot or your precious planet will die!"
Goku was forced out of the woods to confront Broly. "Broly! Don't even try to destroy the planet! You'll die too if you do something so rash!" but Goku was better off speaking to a brick wall; Broly was as determined as he was massive.
Broly released the planet destroying blast directly at Goku. "YAAAAAAAA!!!" yelled Goku transforming to super saiyan and catching the blast in his hands. After much effort he tossed it to the side, away from the earth.
Broly took this opportunity however to deliver a knee right into Goku's stomach. Broly grabbed Goku's head and was about to throw him into the earth when he felt a telekinetic force pulling him away from Goku. Broly looked over to see none other then Tetsuo Shima attempting to blast him with telekinesis.
Tetsuo instantly realized he was in over his head and began to retreat. "Not so fast, boy," said Broly outstretching his arm towards Tetsuo. Broly suddenly released a blast so massive; it covered the entire night sky with a green hue. Players below the clouds could see the light coming from above the clouds.
Nothing remained of Tetsuo Shima except for memories and death certificates. Broly laughed at his first kill. He wanted it to be Kakarot, but things don't always turn out the way you plan.
4 down, 31 to go
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
STILL not too late to add characters believe it or not. I'd have to just go back and edit all of my chapters, like, instead of saying 30 to go, I would make it say 31 to go. But yea, don't make me add anyone unless you feel REALLY strongly that they should be in there. Cause I mean seriously… who wants to edit all their chapters continuously? Not me… But that shouldn't keep you from telling me who you think should go in there. The more the merrier…
