Kill Fest

Each of the competitors read the website's new updated information. Jimmy snickered, Jodi was unsure if she wanted to go on. Crow found himself somewhat torn from wishing to back out or relishing the idea of the new skirmish aspects. The big Russian smiled and readied himself for the conflict ahead and as Aurora and Stryker read the text, they looked upon each other for the first time as adversaries.

Welcome Kill Fest players to the next stage in the competition. You all have done well, very well so far but it's time now to up the stakes and up it big time. So far I asked you to score someone of your own desire and you all did. I requested that you score that little pain in the ass pop star Jason Bear and congrats to Matt Stryker for taking him out for me and anyone who hates that little annoying chump.

So now players we have come to the next phase and I have set the stage in one of the most complex locations I can think of. You are all within a tremendous maze, a vast network of tunnels, stairwells, platforms, passageways and with millions of bystanders. Think of the Greek story of the labyrinth and the Minotaur and having to face off with such a beast. But players, we don't have a monster for you to fight, so you'll have the next best thing, each other.

From this point on players, you are to score one another and eliminate the competition until there is only one man or woman left standing. Think of it as winner take all…..because it is winner take all. Remember there can be only one! The battle only ends when there is only one of you left to email me. And don't try to back out of the game, for five hours from now….that is, if any of you are left but the victor, I have something really evil to set lose on you all.

Well maybe I do have a monster in my pocket after all. But you have three hours until the next stage releases that malevolent player so until then it's just you six. The name of the game is Kill Fest, now you will earn your true skills. I will be in touch by 5:00. For anyone alive, I strongly suggest you check your email at that time.

Good luck players your time starts….. now.

"Stryker, what the hell are we going to do?" Aurora said stepping away from her friend ever so slowly as not to antagonize him into making any foolish actions. Breathing heavily she looked into his eyes praying that this new enlightenment didn't change anything between them. She knew that just under that black biker jacket she so liked was his fully automatic machine pistol. The Glock 18 with a magazine capacity of 33 rounds was capable of gunning down 20 or more people at a time if so desired. It was the superior weapon and she knew she would have no chance if he deployed upon her such firepower.
