The first person to move when the countdown hit zero was Reverse-Flash, but he instantly regretted it. He tried going at his top speed, but a micro-chip in his neck instantly zapped him, causing him to fall to the ground. This was one of Hamilton's precautions to make the game a little more even. As he was on the ground shaking, everyone else was rushing towards the cornucopia to get their weapons.

Captain Boomerang and Captain Cold were some of the first two to reach it, and they each quickly found their namesake weapon as everyone else was brawling around them. Boomerang grabbed one of his and quickly surveyed the scene, his eyes landing on Shrapnel, who was running up behind Deadshot. Boomerang hated saving Deadshot's life, but they were on the same team. He threw the Boomerang and it instantly lodged itself into a chink in Shrapnel's body. He quickly looked down and grabbed it, but then it exploded, instantly killing him.

"Haha! Yes! First kill!" celebrated Boomerang, completely oblivious to Bronze Tiger sneaking up behind him. Luckily, Cold saw it and froze Tiger, killing him. Boomerang looked back and gulped. "Um, thanks mate."

"I've got you, Boomer. You and me, we're getting' out of here together. Come on, let's get our team together and get out of here!" said Cold, as they rendezvoused with Deadshot and ran away, turning back to survey the scene, still only Shrapnel and Bronze Tiger were dead. They were looking for their other team members.

Reverse-Flash's micro-chip finally stopped zapping him, and in the blink of an eye, he had killed both Trickster and Firefly, who were fighting each other right over his body. Trickster had his neck snapped and Firefly had his heart ripped out, and in the next second Eiling's entire team was gone.

"Alright, Trickster's dead, but we still need Copperhead, Vertigo, and Ragdoll before we can get out of here." Said Deadshot. Copperhead was already running up towards them, but Ragdoll was nowhere to be seen, and Vertigo was currently attacked Sportsmaster.

"Oh god…" he muttered, about to throw up, but he pulled out a gun and aimed it at Vertigo, but his gun was shot by Deadshot, causing Vertigo to look over at him.

"Get a move on!"

"Do not give me orders!" he said before running over to them.

"Now where the hell is Ragdoll?" asked Deadshot, annoyed, looking over the battlefield, which was already dispersing. Ragdoll was inside the cornucopia, trying to load up with as many weapons as he could, but he didn't hear Deathstroke sneaking up behind him. As soon as he did, it was too late, as there was a sword through his chest.

"Screw Ragdoll! We're all here, let's get a move on!" shouted Boomerang. Reluctantly, Deadshot agreed and the five remaining members of Lord's team ran off.

The only team remaining at the cornucopia was Waller's team, who hadn't suffered any casualties. There was still quite a lot of weapons left in the cornucopia, and Waller's team decided to make it their home base.

So far only five of the contestants were dead. Everyone watching was expecting more, but no one was really disappointed. There was a lot more to come.

"Alright everyone, gather around." said Deathstroke to his team members, all of whom were somewhat reluctant to listen. However, they all did as they were told. "Waller told us the situation. None of us like it, and none of us like her, but we're in this together. So follow me lead, and we won't have any trouble wiping out the other 30, and we're home free."

"Me, take orders from you? Yeah, right." Said Sportsmaster.

"You want to go out there and fend for yourself? Be my guest." Threatened Slade, which shut him up.

"Now hold on," said Weather Wizard "There's a hell of a lot of Rogues in here, those guys are my brothers. If you think I'm just gonna stand here and let you guys kill them-"

"They're not your brothers. Not anymore. This is war, out here it's either kill or be killed, and we are your best shot at getting out of here alive. You heard Waller, we're in a pocket dimension. Nothing you do can change that, except be a team player." Interrupted Deathstroke. "Now, does anyone else have any problems?"

Silence.

"Good. Load up on weapons, and set up a perimeter."

Elsewhere…

"There is literally a hole in the back of your costume on your neck… and you don't feel anything?" asked Plastique.

"I heal quickly." Answered Thawne. "Look, we already lost a team member, I don't really care who it was, but I refuse to let myself be next. I'm getting out of here no matter what, so I need to know I can rely on you people to fight with me."

Grodd was the first one to kneel before him. "I will always follow you, father."

He smirked and look around.

"Is no one else going to kneel?"

Groaning, Plastique kneeled as well, knowing he was her best hope for survival. Parasite and Man-Bat quickly followed suit, but David Cain was leaning against the wall of the hut they were in with his arms crossed.

"I don't kneel. I'll work with you, to survive, nothing more, nothing less. But you don't control me."

Thawne glared at him. "We'll see about that."

Elsewhere…

"This is outrageous! I am the rightful King of Atlantis! I am not a pawn of these airbreathers! I demand-"

"Shut up, Orm." Said Manta, shushing him and halting the rest of his team. "There's a team in the cave. I'm picking up seven heat signatures, so they outnumber us, but we should find out who's in there before we attack."

"There's no point in waiting, move!" shouted Orm, shoving past Manta and ripping off the stone that covered the cave and throwing his trident directly into Heatwave's chest, killing him.

"Dammit Orm!" shouted Manta before jumping through the hole and blasting his heat vision all over the room, although everyone narrowly managed to avoid it. A lot of them took the battle outside the cave, but Manta remained inside with Slipknot. They were circling each other, and Slipknot was twirling an unbreakable rope with a small wrecking ball on the end. Swiftly, he swung it at Manta, who dodged it and grabbed the rope, yanking Slipknot towards him, grabbing him by the throat.

"Let me go!" he demanded.

"No." he said, simply, before burning Slipknot's face off.

Manta walked out of the cave to find an army of Multiplexes surrounding his team with guns trained on them. Black Spider walked through the Multiplexes and said "You made a big mistake attacking us. Multiplex, fire!"

All the Multiplexes fired their guns, but Girder coated himself in his steel skin, taking most of the heat, but one bullet went into Metallo's Kryptonite heart, shattering it, rendering him immobile. Manta blasted another heat beam, killing most of the Multiplex clones, but the real one managed to escape it and ran off with rest of his team, but Volcana blasted fire at them, starting a forest fire, which they all barely managed to escape from.

"Someone help me! I can't move!" complained Metallo.

"How?" asked Manta.

"I need a Kryptonite heart."

Manta exchanged looks with Orm, both of them groaning.

"Where are we supposed to get Kryptonite in the middle of a pocket dimension?"

"How the hell should I know? Just do something!"

"Fine, we'll do something." Said Volcana, stepping forward and melting his head.

"What the hell was that?!" demanded Manta.

"A mercy kill! He couldn't move, he'd only weigh us down!" she defended.

"Ugh, fine. Since we drove them out, we might as well take the cave. Everyone get inside, we can set up camp for the night and work on a plan of attack."

A few hours went by, and no more teams ran into each other. Once the arena switched from day to night, a tribute went up for the fallen criminals, not really "honoring" them, just acknowledging their deaths.

"Shrapnel…

Bronze Tiger…

Trickster…

Firefly…

Ragdoll…

Heatwave…

Slipknot…

Metallo…

All dead. We were lucky to escape with no casualties. It will be best for us to remain in this cabin for the time being, and we can let the other teams wipe each other out." Instructed Bane to the rest of his team. They were all really surprised to find a nice cabin in the middle of the jungle-like environment they'd wandered into, but then again, Strange did tell them they would find things they wouldn't expect.

"I'll get to work on synthesizing a new fear toxin, should we need it." Said Scarecrow.

"And I'll begin tapping into the network used to control the arena, to give us an upper hand. There's no way we can't win." Boasted Riddler, making Bane grin.

Elsewhere…

"Mick's dead." Said Cold plainly, sadness in his voice.

"It's alright, Snart. We both knew that not all of us were gonna get out alive. But you and me, hey, we gotta stick together." Said Boomerang.

"You're right. No matter what, it's us 'til the end." He said, glaring at his other team members, who were sitting around a fire, not paying any attention to them. "Just us."
