Chapter Text
everybody stood around in front of the starbucks in shibuya, we had been standing here for at least a hour with no sign of the games starting yet
"none of the games have started yet" arisu was the first to speak, speaking out loud what everyone was thinking
"maybe we still have time" usagi replied
"or they forgot to push the big red start button" chishiya said, not taking his eyes off the sign
"they wouldn't be that stupid" karube said "its probably on purpose"
"maybe it already started?" chota questioned
"they haven't even told us the rules yet" kuina sighed, she was sitting down as opposed to everyone else who was standing
"maybe the game has no rules" shibuki spoke "they want to see us act stupid"
usagi started to move her head around, looking at every corner, hearing something
"what?" kuina asked her as she began to walk around
"i hear something"
it was a car, many cars, people from the beach arriving in time
they parked all around us as they moved out of their cars
"what are you guys doing here?" karube asked, walking towards a man you didn't know the name of
"we saw the blimps show up" he answered
"there are rumors that the next stage is starting" a girl with short hair said
"right, heres the thing-" right as karube spoke the man fell dead, with a loud explosion, bits of his body flying everywhere
usagi and chota yelped, karube and kuina flinched, chishiya didn't make a noise and shibuki had her hand over her mouth
your shoulders were tense, obviously you knew that happened, but seeing it infront of you was disgusting and cruel
the guy next to him got shot too. shibuki was next to you and grabbed your arm, attempting to hide you behind her back
more and more began getting shot, everybody yelling to get in a car
you all started running except for chishiya who was speed walking calmly
"that's a anti tank rifle" he flinched when a gunshot sounded behind him, hitting a car next to him
"hiding behind a car is useless" he ran to catch up with us but two people got shot in front of us, we had to hurry to switch the position we were running in
we hid behind a wall
"does this mean the games started?" kuina shouted
"they didn't give us any rules" shibuki spoke
"this is just a massacre" karube yelled
we moved while crouched down to see the street "that rifle can kill from a kilometer away" chishiya said
a different gun started going off, the king of spades changed his weapon
"i recognize the sound of that one"
"now we've got an assault rifle"
"we have no idea how many there are"
"how many guns can this guy hold?" you said
"shits got to be heavy" karube said in response to you
"people are pairing up, there could be more then one shooter" arisu said
"i had no idea so many players were still alive" kuina said
a car exploded and we started to run again
arisu tripped but managed to get up again as we ran into the street
"we have to split up!" chishiya yelled
you ran in a random direction, not realizing no one else was following you
a gun shot right in front of you making you yelp, almost falling from the suddeness of it, you didn't want to end up like everybody else dead on the street before you had the chance to meet any of the new characters
someone got shot just right in front of you, and their blood got on you, you would've gagged if you weren't trying to pay attention to running for your life
you ran up a pair of stairs, trying not to look as people behind you and in front got shot and killed, the smell of their blood ringing in the air
"y/n! arisu!" arisu was coming from a different direction and usagi saw you both "get over here!" the three of you ran together
the king of spades was one step ahead, already firing his gun where the three of you were running
"can this asshole stop for two seconds?!" you shouted as you picked up pace, but arisu stopped as he watched someone get shot
the guy was wearing clothes similar to arisu's old attire, reminding him of himself when he was playing video games
we hid behind cars, arisu on his own while i was with usagi
arisu leaned over the car to see kuina behind one
"are you trying to get yourself killed?!" she shouted and a gunshot rang in front of her causing her to yelp and stumble back, where she was hiding with chishiya and karube
"where are they even shooting from?!"
the three of them looked up at the sky, seeing the king of spades blimp
"it must be the king of spades"
usagi and you looked up as it grew closer to where you all were hiding
"everywhere is his game arena" you said
usagi hummed "most likely, he can do whatever he wants"
the blimp moved and usagi shouted out to arisu "heres our chance"!
we stood up at the same time to make a run for it but arisu saw the man just barely breathing and ran to him
you stood in the road unsure of what to do before following the two over to him
they stopped when they looked ahead at the road, seeing a man in full black and a mask covering his whole head
"the king of spades is here"
"we have to go, now!" you said
arisu and usagi picked up the man that would be dead in two minutes as you ran ahead of them
you hid behind a car as they placed him down, seeing his lifeless eyes as arisu shook him
"are you alright?!" he asked the corpse
he laid his head down, realizing he was too late
"you guys okay?' kuina asked, being to the side of us at a red car
guns bursted around us, arisu turned around to observe
"the king of spades...is just one guy"
we got shot at
"we're pinned down here!"
"if we step out he'll get us!"
before anyone could reply they heard a horn honking loudly, in a green car was ann and tatta, and somehow chota and shibuki in the back
tatta leaned out of the window and yelled at us to get in
"don't just stand there!" ann shouted
"ann!" kuina yelled, happy seeing her friend for the first time in awhile
arisu kuina usagi and karube managed to get in, with some sitting on each other's laps as there wasn't enough space
chishiya and you were left behind as a explosive was thrown right at the car
"thats no good" chishiya grabbed your arm and ran just as the explosive went off
the car drove off as you jumped behind another
and now you're with chishiya
you got slammed down on the road and your elbow was bleeding
"well that was rude" you whispered as you sat up, exhaling as you grabbed your arm and wiped the blood that dripped off
