Game maker Georg was growing tried of Mingus just laying in the grass, so he sends a bear in that direction, Mingus will be too weak to fight back. It's surprising the boy was still alive after all this time, he a should've died days ago! Georg leans into the screen to watch as the bear approached Mingus, the boy doesn't seem to notice the bear. His eyes were barely open, but when the bear took a bite out his leg, Mingus shrieked in pain. This makes Georg smirk, he was doing his job, he BETTER be promoted after all these mutts he has made.
Finch jumps back noticing the alligators in the swamp, when had they gotten there? She was just about to jump in the water, but the hissing from the alligators had caught her attention. It was impressive how hidden they were, she felt lucky enough to notice them. She still felt confusion from Gage just walking off, he had been chasing her but when she turned around, he was gone, running in a whole other direction. It was odd.
Buck and Foster walk on the edge of the swamp looking around, Foster felt bad for Buck, she had woken up from a terrible nightmare about her dad. After she had explained to him their close relationship, Foster instantly understood why Buck was protecting him, she didn't want his daughter to be without him. It was a hard thing especially when they ran into Buck's so called dad, she had almost broke down. But just like she had taken care of him, he took care of her and reminded her that it wasn't him. He used the axe and killed the man for her, it was the least he could do. The sound of footsteps causes the duo to turn around, there was Gage, running full force towards them. "Go!" Buck hisses before running at Gage, knife in hand. Foster ran as fast as he could, he felt like a coward just leaving Buck to take on Gage. If anyone could do it, he believed Buck could kill him.
Gage was surprised at Buck's ability to tackle him, for a small woman, she had great force. He growls as he rolls them over, he sat on top of her and punches her hard in the face. She stretches her legs up and wraps them around his neck, he returns the favor by wrapping his monstrous hands around her neck. He squeezes harder blinded by anger, he was so focused on Buck's face that he didn't notice the knife she had until she slammed it into his heart. Slowly he lets go and falls back, Buck climbs on top of the dying Gage, and repeatedly stabbed him in the chest. She took her anger out on his body, she doesn't scream like she wants to. Her hair falls out of its ponytail and she is covered by his blood, she no doubt looked like a mad woman, but she didn't care. She just needed to get Foster home to Freesia.
Vada danced around with joy when she found the backpack of their supplies, she had realized it had been Nina who took it, who knew the girl had guts. They had also came across a nice sword, of course Isadora was holding it, she lost her spear after all. The cannon sounding sends a jolt of excitement down her spine, it was getting closer to the end, she will win. The sound of a cannon causes Isadora to hush Vada, followed by the cannon was rushing footsteps, she swings the sword just as the person running hits their neck on it. There laid Foster, he held the deep in his neck, Vada laughs and walks off, Isadora looks down at Foster with amusement. Isadora kneeled down and snapped his neck to make things quicker, she knew she would get one of them. Now with him dead, if Buck isn't already dead, this will injure her greatly.
Buck looks around the morgue for Foster, she has been searching for hours, she wouldn't allow herself to believe the second cannon was his. The Capital anthem causes her to run outside, the first face to appear was District 1's Gage, no surprise there, but when District 9's Foster was next to appear. She drops on her knees, how could this happen? She holds back the urge to just sob and give up right where she was, she wasn't going to allow the Capital to see her like that, so instead she climbed up high in a tree and sat there. She felt numb, she spent her whole time protecting him, and one stupid mistake just takes him away from her.
Isadora was shocked to see Gage's face appear on the fallen announcement, she expected him to be in the top three with her. She simply shrugs, that just took care of one major threat, now if only Buck killed herself and made it even easier for her.
Three Dead, (Mingus, Gage, Foster) Four Living
