Let the Rain Fall Down

Misty couldn't sleep, thoughts on the whole shebang ran threw her mind that just made her stomach knot up and keep her awake. How many people would get hurt in this? How many more people did they have to lose to make her stop?

Lose...

Ash had lost a lot in the last few weeks, and now he was faced with this, this. She sighed she didn't know what to call this horror show, she turned to look at Ash he was curled up next to Ninf. But looking at him made her stomach hurt more, well it wasn't him it was the object on the table next to him.

"You still Carry her key around," for some reason that made her stomach drop she knew why she was jealous of his relationship with the passed spirit.

"I can't replace her, I'm not her but why don't you use me like you used her," she asked his sleeping form

"You never use me, you never use my key, what kind of spirit wielder are you,"

She laid back down and tried to catch some sleep before tomorrow...tomorrow was the day it got worse

Waking up everyone gathered in the middle of the den for their guild everyone was here except poor Torta he was still in recovery from yesterday.

"We must get ready for this tournament, I know it's makes everyone uneasy, but we must protect the people so I need everyone to give it there all, we have to end this as quickly as we can. We may be one of the stubborn guild this country has but we are also the one they turn to when things go wrong and things have gone very wrong. So let's get teams in order," Master said

"Team Alpha will be Ash, Paul, Trip, Clemont, and Serena. While team Beta will be May, Drew, Max, Bonnie and Myself," Lady Lucy said as she looked around at everyone

"lady Lucy your gonna enter, can you enter,"

"the rules just state the Masters can't enter, so I should be ok,"

"Well let's hope they don't try to change things last Minute," Bonnie said softly

They left for the arena all waiting on pins and needles for Cheryl to announce today's event

"Welcome everyone! To the second day event! Here are today's contestant teams,"

The wheel on the screen started to spin as team where picked for each guild.

Comet Dust: team Beta

Medusa Tail: Team Alpha

Phoenix Wing: team Alpha

Death Melody: team Beta

"Now then let's see today's event,"

Once again the wheel spun, and the knots in Ash's stomach tightened as he watched it slow down soon words could be made out then it stopped and a word flashed along the screen.

Survival Mode

"What the hell kind of game is that..," asked Drew

"she's trying to end it as quick as possible,"

"Or have the most casualties as possible,"

"Look all we have to do is end it quickly knock out her guild and hope she gets thrown off guard,"

"let's hope that works,"

Everyone was stationed at different ends of the town while floating camera hovered about to transmit and show how everyone was doing back to the crowd in the arena. Ash looked around eyeing his team mates, they had to win this or else.
