As Jamie goes down slowly Hitomi grows still not wanting to make a single movement to drive her away, her hand shakes slightly but grips on the ground tightly. "Come on you just a little bit closer,....not even a few yards." Hitomi could almost hear hear own heartbeat from the excitment and tension every step Jamie took, this was getting close to time but Hitomi had everything planned out, she was hoping to get some damage out of it.
Jamie's foot gets close to the target and it was set, Hitomi pulls on one end of her whip and her smokescreens released, blinded by the red mist Hitomi pulls on the other end and shoots the rain of needle at Jamie. "This has to work, no failure now if this doesnt then....I'd already lost." Hitomi waits among the shrubs hoping to hear any of the several airials to possible hit her target. She hears them in the air and listens closely as they get towards the ground. Hitomi wasnt sure what she was feeling now it was either tension or on the other had her old instincts.
She looks away for a split moment and hears a crack, one of her needles was off balenced and it hit her mask splitting it in two. Hitomi froze terrified and saw it had caught her forehead, she could feel blood run down but she remained neutral, her sight was if her plan caused damage.

Jamie looks up, her wings destroyed by needles. She lets out a growl that rumbles the mountain behind her. "YOU LITTLE!" The wind shifts the smoke away, and there was Hitomi, watching with wide eyes. Jamie pulls Excalibur and runs at her. "YOU DESTROYED MY WINGS!" She jumps, and slices, but Hitomi is out of the way. She erupts in Holy, and waits for Hitomi to make a move. The burned forest was black against her white aura. "You have pissed off one hell of an angel!" She outstretches her hand, and then lets it fall to her side. The Earth around them erupts into white, and Jamie floats, not of wings but of her own power. "I swear upon it, you will die!" Then, she hits the ground. A bullet in her head. The other contestant brings his rifle down to Hitomi. He smiles, she was a good fifty, maybe forty yards away. He had only an inch to pull, she could never make it.

There wasnt much she could do from her position, one attempt to flee could cause her to get a bullet ran inher causing instant death. "Damn, I tried to take that angel down, now I have this guy to deal with." Hitomi takes a small glance of the dead angel, a single bullet took her down no questions asked. Looking back at the man her plans were not good, she had only a few smokescreens left on her and the hidden blades as a way of defense. A minute passed and she had no choice, Hitomi was going to try one move she learned and give it her all.
Quickly moving she reaches for one of the capsules throwing it right at him, he spots this and fires at her. Hitomi ducks low but gets hit in her shoulder, she tries to remain silent not to let out a yell though it was painful not to. Hitomi goes low and runs towards from behind the man sticking out her blades on her boots, once she tried to kick goes low again if he was to fire. Thinking fast she goes one her hands and take out the needles in her wrist protectors carrying the nightshade blossem's toxin, though doesnt hurt her kind might will to him. Hitomi lifts her weight and gets one of her boots in his back then leans forward stabbing one of the needles into his neck.

Azelus could not move, his whole body hurt. Everything from tip to toe hurt. He just lays there, dying. He had a broken leg, a bleeding temple. He would die by tomorrow night, no doubt. Hunger had set in again, and without water, which the top of the wall had none, he would die. Of course, the seventy foot drop would kill him, and the tree used to get up had caught fire long ago. He was damn well stranded. "Ugh." He rolls over to look for a way out. The little bubble that had been created did not go all the way around the circular wall. It had no windows, no doors, no nothing. So he was stuck there. After a while of brooding, he sits up, and watches as the sun inches across the sky, falling behind the trembling volcano. "Gosh, weather, broken legs, Johanna, Hitomi, Jamie, what else am I going to have to have to deal with?" He regrets saying that when it leaves his lips. He turns, painfully, and watches as Johanna gets up, the blood staining her face. She shuffles towards Azelus, and he sits there, paralyzed by pain and fear. "Z-z-zombies?" He stammers out. He shifts himself to the farthest wall, and Johanna follows. He brings out his bow and looses arrow after arrow, but they just stick out of the rotten flesh. "Oh oh, oh. Crap!"

He yells out in agony then grabs Hitomi by her leg and swings her foward hard on the ground, she grunts but gets up fast attempting to try again. Unable to get behind he takes her by both of her hand going for another slam but she kicks at his rifle away from him, angered he lets her go but takes out a knife and throws it. Hitomi could feel the knife land in her side and nearly falls. "I didnt see that coming I thought-" she splurts out blood but manages to yank the knife out and get back on her feet. "You may think I'll just give up and die,....well your mistakened, I have a promise to keep and by god I'm going to thrive by it." Hitomi eyes him charging at her with two large knives, she just smiles and charges right back.
The do dance around each other's blades and sparks block every motion one took. Hitomi tried to use her wrist several times trying to add in as much as the toxin she could, he tries to slice her legs but she leaps using him as a balencing board. The last leap she made he gets her neck and clenches tightly and tries to strangle her, Hitomi gasped every few seconds trying to breathe nearly thinkinh this was her demise,""No, not just yet I cant die this was either, not in front of...." Hitomi started to flashback seeing Yuki and how she would be right now seeing this.
"Yuki,...my sweet little sister, this is not how I wanted to prove myself....I can do more." With the last bit of streangth Hitomi starts to scratch the man's arm causing him to let her go. This time more furious continues to attack and she too continues, the two keep at it till she notices his movements were slower, the toxin was starting to take affect giving her the lead. Hitomi climbs on his back and with him barely able to grab her she stabs deeply into his neck. She hears him breathe on last time then falls dead. Hitomi gets up herself holding her shoulder,"This guy was tough now who's left?" She looks down to her broken mask thinking how close she was from nearly accidently killing herself.

Azelus keeps scrambling to keep the zombified Johanna from reaching him. He keeps going, as long as he can, but eventually he grows too weak, and gives up. "Dammit Sara! Fine! I will do what you want!" He turns to look the zombie in the eyes. They stared into his, both sets of eyes were equally dead. The zombie grabs his broken leg, and he screams. The she grabs his shoulders, brings his head up to her mouth, and what he feels next is excruciating pain. His skull cracks open, and his blood falls out and onto the ground. His brain fluid joins it, and he can feel the life start to slip faster. All the while, he can only think of the pain. Then he hears Night's voice, crying out to kill her, she should not live as a zombie. And he grabs an arrow from his quiver. He brings it to her neck, and with one quick motion, he pushes it through her neck. The zombie falls to the ground, dead. Azelus hits the ground with a dull thud, and watches the world spin into blackness. "Unch..... Why...." Then he fades out of consciousness.

Night started to fall and the terrain had a new appearance, Hitomi travels away from the last area she fought in and finds a small cavern, Once she settle she examined her shoulder. The wound wast too bad but it hurt like hell for her, being on the safe side Hitomi reached for one of her daggers. Clenching as hard as she could drove into her shoulder and dug the bullet out," Of all the pain I have had so far this one tops all of them." Finally getting it out she wraps her shoulder in a bit of cloth from her cloak, taking the time to rest Hitomi wondered if there were others.
Taking a look outside it was quiet, kinda reminded her of the swamps back home with the dead looking trees and smoke lingering in the air,"Are there others out there or just....those two, where did they disappear to." Hitomi thinks about them and how they escaped after her last attack, she believed they were still out there waiting for another fight. Taking some time she decides to go out, not wanting to be in the same place if someone was hiddem amongs the darkness.
Pitch black out the only light she had was the moon that guided her way while she pressed on in the shadows usind her cloak to hide herself. Hitomi felt the pain worsen each step she took but survival was the most important thing in her mind and preparing for sudden attacks.

Waking, his head pounding, but in one piece. His hand goes to his leg, limp, but back to normal. He tilts his head. "I was half dead..." He looks around, but the only thing close was the zombified Johanna. He stands, hurt but able to move again. What had happened? He walks to the edge. there was no way down, and no way up either. "I guess I have to find someway to end this Quell." he talks aloud, strategizing. Then he sees it. A moving figure in the sky. He has his bow tout and arrow ready to be loosed. It was moving at incredible speeds. Suddenly, it is upon him. He looses the arrow, and it clinks off with a metallic sound. He dodges it as it hits the metal wall behind him. Out of it comes a man with two pistols, blaring. He ducks, and the gunfire is everywhere. He gets onto the outer perimeter of the wall, and is running blindly along it. The man is behind him at every step. He whirls, and looses another volley of arrows. They pierce the man, but he keeps coming. Then he sees Hitomi, but keeps running along the wall. He turns again, and the man is holding a larger rifle. He ducks, and the bullet makes his hair move. His legs were barely cooperating, his head was pounding, and he was making stupid mistakes in his aiming. He gets back up and keeps running. He turns again, and the man was still right behind him, and he is aiming. Azelus ducks, hitting the top of the wall. He slides along it, back down. He aims, aims aims, and looses an arrow. It misses the man by two inches. He curses himself and keeps running.

Hitomi hears running and stops, not taking a chance she dives to a nearby tree careful not to put too much weight on the charred branches. "Guess I'm wrong about being the last one, one of them just passed me." she watches from the top getting a airial view of him shooting continuesly toward nothing. Hitomi decides to follow pursuit but not wanting to alert the gunman she was near stays within the trees using them to leap one by one.
The branch she was on snaps then she leaps fast escaping the fall movung to the next branch on the other side. Leaping tree to tree Hitomi keeps up till she ran out of trees to hide in, quickly she dives into the shrubs and crawls slowly along the edge watching close. "I may not get him up here but at least I can at least try, better then being close up." Hitomi reaches into her belt collecting two longer needles and a small vile carrying the blossems, at that moment she remember a mixture, a blood of a shadow person mixed with nightshade toxin becomes an acid.
She takes the needle to her shoulder and coats them in her blood, next taking a blossem out and extracting a bluish ooze from it lacing the needle. She looks up again and see the gunman closeby to her, not taking any chances of being seen Hitomi ties them to her whip and flicks it toward him. They whistle for a split second and hits her target in the arm.

"Gods be damned, Sara," he says, his teeth clenched. "You heal me only to make it so I can die again!" He keeps moving, running, along the metal wall. He had passed the bubble that Johanna laid, dead, three time now. Saw Hitomi another five, and kept running. The man had picked up a cannon, and the huge bullets hit the wall, destroying it. As it was, he had to jump, hit the wall hard, and get et up and run some more. He doubted he could do much more. He stops, and then turns, his bow had two arrows knocked. He aims. The gunner aims. The bullet blasts from the gun, Azelus looses the arrows. They find his heart, and his forehead. The Gunman laughs and keeps coming closer, humongous bullets flying at Azelus. He repeats the attack, and this time, it stops the gunner for a moment. When the gunman is within maybe a yard, Azelus keeps staring him down the shaft of his arrow.
"Make one step, I swear, this one is taking you brains as it leaves the back of your skull," he says. People would be drawing in breath, gasping for something like that. He smiles, it was funny in a way. Then he takes the step, and the arrow leaves the string. It gets into the skull, bursts from the other side, and sure enough, brain matter is splattered all over the wall. The Gunman smiles. "Oh. Not good." Azelus turns and continues running. Then he stops. Staring up at him was Hitomi. He aims at her, the gunner right beside him, the cannon at his head. "You have to die, so I may live, so I may cast Judgement upon Sara. Good bye." He looses his arrow at her, as the gun clicks to the right of his head. He prays in the split second, prays hard. Hoping that if she died, he would not have his brains splattered all over the place.

She sees an arrow fly towards her, "What the-.... another?! great.", just as it got closer Hitomi flips to her right having it nearly graze her injured shoulder. "Damn it all the nerve of some people.", she watched it pin itself to a nearby trunk and glares at the direction it came from. "By shooting that arrow thats where I need to try and not go near for now." looking over that direction she didnt have a clue where it came from, oneone else besides herself and the last kill of hers was seen. Thinking but more confused Hitomi though she was dealing with another assasian that could jeperdize her more have to go up with another equal.
Fazed but alright she looks towards the area again but didnt see ant movement, shaking her head she sprints away to get out of possible range. Hitomi wasnt barely in the right condition to fight again but what choice did she had, it was a game of survival and she had to try and stay alive. She perches herself into a tree to catch her breath,"If what I'm feeling is true I need to be more careful, another assasian in the game could make it or break it." At that moment she thought about the arrow, most assasian she had seen dont use bows but she knew one person who did,"Azelus,...did he shoot that-..." Hitomi ponders the thought it was him and question if his partner was near or even watching her.

His breath was ragged, his heart pounding. Yet those were signs of life. Azelus gulps and turns. The gun clicks, again and again. The man keeps pulling the trigger, angrily. Azelus runs as fast as he can to the bubble. He skids into it and finds the flying object the man had come in. He searches, all the guns, a whole bunch of them, were gone from their indents ion the wall of the machine. "Oh great." He turns, the man was frowning, the dead gray skin was pulling into wrinkles. He held a long barreled gun, aiming right at Azelus' forehead. He could not knock an arrow in time. But when the man falls to the ground, he sighs in relief. Then he investigates. IN the mans arm was a dagger. His eyes scan the area. Then he see another. She was covered in all black. She had a kitsune mask like Hitomi did, but this mask was not the same colors. They were black and purple. He steps back, waiting for the attack he knew was inevitable, but she leaps down from the wall. He runs to see how she did this, but by the time he is peering down, she is gone.

The moon rose high as Hitomi had doze off to sleep in the tree, moving a little she realized how long she was out. "Must of been at least a couple hours or so but still." she was surprised that being asleep noone had spot her up there, it puzzled her for a moment. Shaking the thought it was time to move off ground and carry on, she checks her shoulder and sees the bleeding had stop thanks to the cloth bandage she made last minute. Leaping out of the tree Hitomi sensed something nearby and takes out a dagger hidden in her belt,"Looks like I'm not alone in the dark, fighting time already."
She hears something behind her and turns sharply but wait before attacking to see who she was dealing with weapon wise, the moon light shined on the person and Hitomi nearly dropped her dagger. Staring at the other figure she looked at her, she had a kitsune mask like her own but simething tripped her, on the forehead was a black moon the same shade as Queen Yuki's. "Yuki? is that....no it cant be what are you doing here? you could be killed!" The woman didnt say anything but just stared at Hitomi almost in determination. Hitomi takes a step forward but the woman backs away and sprints into the brush,"Wait! I need to know something and I have a secret to- hold on!"
Hitomi runs after her trying to catch up but the woman almost looked like she was gliding in the air without wings, the two run for a few minute and Hitomi gets closer. Once she looks to a clearing she is shocked, the woman had vanished out of sight.

Azelus does his best to find a way down, but he had none. He was getting hungrier. Sara had not bothered to feed him while he was being healed either. "Damn it, damn it!" He yells out into the night. He doubles over, puking bile as he gets hungrier, and sicker. The cold was setting in, and snowflakes fell. "Really? Your going to freeze me to death on a cold metal wall?!" He yells out, angered. "Gods be damned!" He hurries around the wall again. Nothing seemed to make sense anymore. Who was left? He had not seen Sara's face since she last made her announcements last week, or was it before that? He could not think. Then he settles on it. "Fine, I guess there is no choice." he turns, and again the lady with the black and purple kitsune mask is standing there, waving her finger at him. She vanishes down into the Arena, and he watches, intent on figuring who that was. "Damn it all." He sits down, as the snow gets worse, and he gets colder.

Hitomi stares at the last spot she saw the woman believeing what she saw,"It had to be Yuki, just has to be noone else in the realm bears that dark shade of black of moon beside her majesty....I know it was her." Looking up to the sky it turned back to snow angering her more,"Sara seriously first the lava flows and fire noe snow?! you must have a thing for fire and ice." Annoyed but still dazed she wraps herself in her cloack and traces her steps from after running after the woman.
Finally finding her path she gets the sense again and turns every way hoping to see her again, looking at her right she sees her pointing to Hitomi's feet. Afraid to looks she does and finds her mask intact and repainted with a fixed strap,"I dont understand Yuki why do I need this for? people know my-" she looks up and sees she vanished again. "This is getting a little wierd and I dont think Sara is pulling the strings on this." seeing the woman vanish again Hitomi looks up watching the snow cover her face, it actually felt good to her as it cleaned off the soot from later.
"This is a sign I'm guessing, she wants me to go on no matter whats the obstacle." Hitomi looks to the path knowing if the woman she believed was Yuki was telling her to go on she would, slipping on the mask Hitomi heads off on the trail as the snow starts to fall. "Yuki, I know its you, though why your here is my question but you have your reasons."
