Chapter 2: Game 2: All Dead
Welcome to the Unlimited Survival Game.
The seven people faced the mysterious television.
Yuki and Dan ensured they had checked it completely. It was broken just a few seconds ago.
But, now, the TV turned on itself.
On its screen was the words with some creepy font. Besides that, there was nothing. No sound, no background.
The room was silent.
But, Dan thought he could hear everyone's heartbeat, even his.
Knock knock.
First, they think they misheard. They just looked at each other in confusion.
But, quickly, it echoed again.
Knock knock.
That was absolutely the sound of something being knocked.
They quickly turn to the sound's direction.
The window.
There was nothing.
Just same as the last time they discussed, outside the window still was the black empty void. Nothing more.
"I didn't mishear, right? You all hear that too, right?" Yuki was the one who broke the silence.
"Yeah. That was a knocking sound." Dan replied. He glared at everybody's reaction.
Yuki was feared, but she still calmly sat and watched the situation.
Those three chickens were talking about something about kidnapping and money. Their face were white, their hands and feets was shaken by fear.
"You know, something wrong." Yuu said. "If we are purgatory, there should have not nothing to fear ours. Purgatory is not a place to test brave, man."
"..." Dan thought. Yuu still was Yuu. Calm and crazy about religion.
"Look like we're in a horror movies-like situation now. And I really hate that." Bon stopped his defensive stance.
"You don't like horror movies?"
"No, that's not like that. Not about flavor. If enemies are something from horror movies like ghosts, I can't punch or kill them. I hate that idea." He laughed, a bloodthirsty beast's laugh.
"..." Yuki was silent, then she jumped out of the chair and went to the window at a fast pace.
Dan, Yuu and Bon followed her.
They tried to check around the window, but there was nothing strange.
Then, they looked at the outside of the window.
First, the scene still same as the previous. The void.
But they noticed. Something was different.
In the middle of black. There was a thing.That was a small light ball. It was flying in the middle of black. That scene was creepy.
"What the fuck is that thing?"
"Light? Someone came to rescue?"
"I don't think that is our ally. That can be enemies."
"Yeah, you're right. Or that can be God."
"Fuck off your ridiculous."
They talked back at each other, and tried to look at the strange thing.
"Hey, if I don't imagine, it is becoming bigger after each a second, right?"
"..."
The small light ball.
Indeed, the first time, the small ball was really small. It was just around the same as a tennis ball's size. Now, it had became to the football's ball size.
Zantokapa, Kana and Yama still stood the farthest. They were feared, but they were curious too. They took some step forward, not to close the window, and watched outside the window.
The football's ball size light now became around the human's size.
And it changed shape.
Just one second. The light changed to the clown.
"What…"
And quickly, the clown disappeared.
"Hey Yuu. Does your God wear a clown's outfit?"
"That's blasphemy, Yuki. At least, in the God book I read, there is not any clown's outfit wearing God. Maybe."
Dan still looked at the outside.
First, he thought he was mistake. There was no clown or light. That could an illusion. You knew, when you looked at the black empty so long, you could saw something weird.
But, that was just a common thing in a common situation. And the situation now they current in far from common. Dan believed in their situation, anything could happen.
Even a clown's outfit wearing God thing.
Dan felt something cold on his shoulder.
His intuition told him that something terror was happening behind him.
Quickly, Dan looked back to behind.
"!"
And, he saw it.
The clown was just disappointed in the black. Now stood close behind those four. The weird thing was, the clown was just somehow a little invisible, like it wasn't finished with its transfer completely.
"Dangerous!" Dan screamed.
Yuki was the first person to reacted to his scream. She jumped out to the right and grabbed Yuu, who was beside her, followed her.
Dan quickly ran in the opposite Yuki's direction. If they ran in the same direction, the danger could be more difficult to avoid.
Different to Yuki and Dan, boo still stood at his place, faced the clown.
"Heh. Happy to know you are not something like a ghost." Bon waited. The clown was more visible. "Because I can kill you jerk."
When the clown was completely visible.
Bon quickly punched a punch.
Dan swore he had heard the wind roar's sound from Bon's punch.
"Make it clear. My punch can break even a car."
Dan flaskbacked what Bon said.
Before, Dan just thought Bon exaggerated. Now he believed what Bon said.
Bon's punch was really powerful.
And in common sense, the clown may be killed by it.
But, that was not this case.
Bon's punch was powerful and quick. But, the clown easily avoided it by jumped behind a step.
"!"
The clown put a hand up. A light appeared in its hand. Suddenly, a katana appeared in its hand.
In a second. The clown jumped ahead one step, his eyes focused on Bon. Its katana quickly sliced at Bon.
Rhghhh!
A wind roar's sound echod like the beast's holw.
And the katana slice stopped.
Although Bon had a big body, his speed was very quick. By his intuition, he felt the danger and slid to avoid katana's slice.
The clown was not stopped. Without hesitation, it looked at those three chickens, who were frozen by terror. And, it laughed.
"Now, move aside!" Yuki screamed.
Next to her scream, the chair flew to the clown. That's Yuki's attacked.
Not to stopped laughing. The clown easily sliced the chair into 2 pieces.
Zantokapa and Kana ran in fear.
But Yama was still stood there. Because of her age, she wasn't reacted quick to run.
And.
The clown sliced her head off her neck.
After the slice, Yama's body fell on the ground, and blood from her neck flowed all over the ground.
The clown laughed, then it grabbed Yama's head, throwed it down and crushed it with its foot.
Blood and meat flew everywhere.
"..."
Everyone was frozen by the scene in front of them.
It looked like a scene from a slaughter movie. But now they are victim characters.
"Don't stop. Run." Dan screamed. He still kept his sanity, and warned the others.
But, too late for Kana and zantokapa. They were frozen too long enough for the clown arrived on their side.
It did not need katana, the clown used its bare hand to grab Zantokapa's neck, lift him up.
The clown laughed again. It put its power into its hand, which was grabbing zantokapa's neck.
In a few seconds, Zantokapa's neck was crushed. His blood flowed from the clown's hand. Then, it used the blood thrown at Kana's eyes.
"Ahh…"
She just screamed a little and was stopped.
The clown used katana sliced her into two pieces. It sliced her at her belly.
"Fuck off." Yuki cursed. "Only four of us are left alive. Does anyone have any idea how to kill this mf?"
"It was powerful. From strength to speed, it outpowers us very much." Bon analyzed.
"Don't need you to say it, we already knew that. Fuck." Yuki angered. "Hey, Yuu. Your god is crazy. Have you any idea how to counter him? At least in your god book has something written, right?"
"I told you, I remember there are not any clown's outfit wearing God. Maybe."
"...."
"Hey, Dan. Are you alive? Didn't hear anything from you while."
"Don't worry. I still have breath. At least at the moment." Dan didn't understand. Why is he excited now, even though he can be killed at anytime. "Bon. Can you have the strength to steal its sword?"
"Do you have some plan?" Yuki asked.
"Can't tell it a plan, just a gamble. Do you all want to try it."
"We don't have any choice, you know. And, I think I like a gamble even if i lost more than be killed like a stupid pig." Yuki smiled.
"Count me in. I want to prove that jerk is not a god." Yuu said.
"Yeah. I think if I have a chance, I can steal its sword. So I'm in. Because I want to kill it." Bon grinned.
"We will give you that chance." Dan said. "Yuki, Yuu. Can you guys be the bait?"
"You asked too much, man. You know. But, yeah, not any choice, I said." Yuki laughed.
Yuu nodded
Yuki and Yuu looked at each other and nodded. Then those two run into the clown.
Saw its preys run into him, the clown laughed, it grabbed the katana by two hands, put it up in order to slice its preys.
Yuki and Yuu were not wait katana's slice. When they got close to the clown, they jumped and ran in two opposite directions.
The clown was a little confused.
And, that was what Dan wanted. He silently ran behind the clown. Jumped and chokeholded its neck with his two hands.
The clown screamed. The sound of it was cold and creepy. It kept sliced randomly in order to kill Dan.
"Bon. Steal its sword. I can't hold it longer."
Bon quickly ran into the clown. He punched his power punch at its hand that held the katana.
The hand still held the katana.
Without rest, Bon continued punching ten times.
And, the katana fell on the ground.
Yuki quickly grabbed the katana, and stabbed at its belly 5 times.
The clown screamed in pain.
Dan jumped out of it. He grabbed the katana from its belly. And jump and slice its head.
"Die!" Dan said.
The clown's head rolled on the ground.
Its body fell too.
Although the clown had not any blood or meat, at the slice of its neck and its head was just empty and black, like the void outside the window, but those four defeated it.
They were alive.
"Great." Yuki shouted out.
The other three look at each other and smile.
Suddenly. The clown's body without its head appeared behind Yuki.
Those four did not have time to react. The clown's body used its bare hand stab through Yuki's stomach.
"..." Yuki couldn't even scream. She just vomited some blood and died.
The clown threw Yuki's body into the wall. Then it used its foot to kick at Bon's head.
Unable to withstand the power of its kick, Bon's head flew off his body. Blood flew everywhere.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Yuu screamed in pain.
Dan turned Yuu direction. He saw Yuu was dead.
On Yuu neck was the clown head. It was eating Yuu's meat.
"That crazy bastard. I will kill you." Dan cursed. He knew he couldn't kill it, but he wanted to scream his anger.
In the clown's hand, there was a light again. Quickly, that light changed shape into a big axe. Then it threw the axe at Dan.
"!" Dan quickly avoided it.
The clown ran into Dan with unbelievable speed. Not even a second, it stood next to Dan. Now, its hand held the katana.
And, it sliced Dan's neck.
"All dead."
Not laughed anymore, the clown spoke with a cold voice.
"This group has some potential candidates. I see. Some can become the Creator's pawn."
The clown stood in the middle of the room. Around the room was meat and blood of seven people.
