While keeping an eye on the timer, Louisa mumbled words of encouragement to them all, naming them as individuals. She had them repeat the plan before waiting the last four seconds…

DONG!

They all sprinted forward. Louisa had been right- the sprinting sessions she had put them through had worked out nicely. They were grateful.

Louisa grabbed a sword and parried a strike from one of the Careers. She shoved him away into another opposing team member before returning to her weapons search. Already, Leo and Piper were sprinting towards Jack, who wore bright orange as a marker. Clarisse stabbed a girl half her size before shoving the dead body into one of the girl's team members. Sean had acquired a bow and quiver. Already, two lay dead with arrows to the chests.

Sean and Clarisse retreated. Jason followed suit. Louisa was the last off the battlefield. Other than a few minor injuries, they were all alive.

Out of 24, seven were dead. Their team was the only one still intact.

"Let's keep movin'." Louisa grumbled.
