[_____V_____]

*sound of snapping fingers*

*the locks on Saytan's arms and legs slide back and she is freed*



Saytan looks at her teammates, then at Zero who stands in front of table 2 with a machete in hand. She feels terror creep into her stomach, as she pushes herself towards the table marked "3".

She comes to the table and almost immediately bends down, a small warning bell ringing in her mind about the words written under it. She lets out a small breath, and speaks softly.

"Survive #2."

Almost at once, the floor parts in the middle and a big, rectangular red box comes out of it. The locks snap back and the box clicks open.

Saytan's hands reach out for the box automatically, her fingers feeling numb.



A huge, razor-sharp, double-handed sword leaps into her vision. It glints in the light, as if waiting to be picked up. Saytan lets out another deep breath and lifts it up. She holds it for a moment, then turns around to face Zero.

"FIGHT!" the voice booms.

Almost immediately, Zero lowers his machete. "I won't fight her," he says quietly.

"IF YOU WON'T, ALL OF YOU WILL BE SHOT TWICE BY THE SNIPERS!" the voice warns menacingly.

F13F yells, "Come on you two!"

Saytan looks at Zero with pleading eyes. The sword looks too heavy to lift for her. Zero thinks for a second, then his grip on the machete tightens. He starts lifting it up. Saytan's eyes fill with sudden dread, then a wild excitement runs through both of them. Giving out a loud cry, she swings her sword directly at Zero, just as Zero brings down his machete heavily. He leans back instinctively, but the sword slices neatly through his left arm, severing it off his body. At the same time, the machete scrunches through Saytan's shoulder and collar bone, narrowly missing her lungs.

Zero's left hand thuds down on the floor, blood squirting out of it everywhere. Both contestants follow it and fall down, Zero swooning at the sight of his severed left arm. Saytan yells loudly in-between big gasps of breath, looking at the machete which has almost cut her into two. Big rivers of blood run down her chest and back.

The entrance door swings open, and two medics hurry to either of them holding a Health Pack each. One of the medics tries to revive Zero while patching up his severed left stump, while the other reaches Saytan and pulls the machete out of her shoulder. Saytan's screams ring throughout the Chamber.

The fourth and final choice is...JENNA!
