Kiro made it a point to ask President Scott to secure him a building in the middle district, before anything else. Something that would be big enough to fit all the kids. He agreed without asking questions.
"The President really is a strange man." Nikolai couldn't help but comment when he overheard the conversation. Kiro simply shrugged, glad he wasn't the kind to ask questions.
Their plan was to go back to the room where they watch fights and beat everyone there, but alas, their explosion didn't go unnoticed.
It was fortunate that they had already left the room, and closed the door when a barrage of soldiers came from the front and back in the corridor. They were grateful that, they wouldn't exactly know which room they came from, giving the kids much needed time.
"Hey you, you're trespassing, that's illegal you know." Shouted one man from the reinforcements, he seemed to have been their leader.
His eyes looked dead, it was clear he'd killed more than any of them could've guessed. He had a strong decent build.
"Sir, there's six of them, all wearing masks we can't tell what their identities are." He mumbled that on his hand. Trent had come down alone, he managed to convince Gilbert to stay up there in case the people who broke in were professionals.
Looking at their attire, he surmised that they were. He was glad his master wasn't stubborn this time. The six in front of him looked young and strong, he was sure he would die here.
"Alright. Be careful out there Trent. Come back alive." Gilbert ordered him through the tiny radio they were communicating through.
"Yes sir." He answered with confidence and certainty he didn't have.
While the boss seemed to be busy giving orders on his comms, James saw this is a chance, "Kiro, I doubt your code name Ki will be difficult to trace back to you." He whispered.
It was important that they had names that wouldn't come back to bite them in the ass. And Kiro more or less knew this, which is why it didn't take him long before he blurted out.

And they were the only ones, while they'd had countless fights in-game, fighting synchronised, this was a tad bit different, it could get dangerous and fatal really fast. So they decided against fighting together like they usually did in the game.
Kiro's long legs flew in the air, kicking several heads. He'd be lying if he said it didn't sting a little, it was like kicking concrete but he wouldn't be a man if he didn't grit his teeth and did it again.
Just then a knife crossed too close for comfort, he saw it in time to slightly move his head out of the way. It was apparent that the man drove the knife too forcefully, so he staggered forwards trying to find his balance.
Kiro was still a little bit vengeful, because this guy made him see his life flash before his eyes. As far as he was, he only needed to stretch his already lanky leg, and nudged the guy who was stumbling on his ass.
If the man hoped to find some balance, he was too late now. His head was head straight for the concrete, the only thing that broke his fall was the sound of his neck when his head hit the floor.
The crack carried itself around the battlefield, it was enough to cause a slight change in the favour of those who had their first kill. It was clear from their reaction that, they weren't professional soldiers.
They screamed, yelled and let out anger and sadness for their fallen comrade. Kiro wanted to drop dead, it would've been better if they were the kind of people that used their friends as meat shields, but this fight wouldn't be that easy.
James was facing Trent. For a cook at academy level, he was impressive, holding the upper hand. Though it was clear that, Trent was only suffering because of his old age.
He narrowly escaped two batons to the neck, as he jumped to the other side he tapped his wrist and screamed orders.
"Get the gladiator to the main corridor right now."
The person on the other end didn't have time to explain that he was still being retrained but since it was only a few minutes from being finished, he pulled the plug.
