(Back to 1st Person PoV)

I felt sick. Sicker than I have ever felt in my life.

I held onto my mouth with one hand while the other held onto my stomach.

He's dead. Just like Sky, Ash died via execution, I thought.

"YOU SHUT YOUR F*CKING MOUTH!" Someone shouted, causing me to flinch.

I turned to look to see...

Ed and Annabeth arguing??

"You damn b*tch! What the hell do you mean, we have to get used to seeing this?" Ed shouted angrily.

Annabeth sighed, annoyed.

"I told you. Whoever is in control of this game, will not stop at nothing on having us kill one another. If this is what's going to be the regular, then we have to get used to it. It's wiser that way," she explained.

"How can you f*cking say that?! What is "wise" right now is to not kill another and," Ed lowered his voice "to find a way out of here."

"But we're not close to that. Currently, we have to adapt to this way of life. If we don't," Annabeth made a snipping motion with her fingers, "we die."

"How f*cking dare you! Human life shouldn't be talked like that! We have to live and not fall to whatever is causing us to kill! If you can't understand that, then you're not being very wise as you say you are!" Ed yelled.

Annabeth narrowed her eyes at him.

"You think on impulse, and not rational. If you keep this behavior up, then you will join Link, Sky, Daisy and Ash," she said.

"You b-," Ed made a violent movement towards her but got stopped by Hibiki and Lloyd.

"Ed no! It's not worth it. We will get out of here, I promise you that," Lloyd shouted.

"Yeah! No more deaths and we will all be free," Hibiki agreed.

Ed scoffed and shoved both of them off of him.

He went over to the elevator and stood there with his arms folded, his back turned to us.

"Annabeth, that wasn't very wise of you. Don't rile Ed up like that or someone can be seriously hurt," Leafpool said, sternly.

"I mean true enough. Man he can be so f*cking scary when he is even a little bit ticked off," Kazuichi cried.

Annabeth sighed.

"I am speaking the truth. If we do not learn to adapt, then we're lost. We can't escape if we're not in that mindset," she explained.

"While you do bring up a good point, don't bring in our dead comrades into this," Lloyd said.

"Yeah besides, poking an angry lion with a stick isn't very smart either," Isabelle pointed out.

"I don't need anyone to tell me what's wise and what is not. But you are right, I shouldn't have provoked him like that," Annabeth said.

"Good, now we're on the same page," Leafpool said.

I hugged myself nervously.

That wasn't very fun to listen to. If this is kept up, who knows how many arguments will happen, I thought.

"Hey Tommy. We'll be ok, don't worry about it. It's just a mishap, that happens but nothing bad will come from it," Noya assured me.

I turned my head to look at him.

"Boy I wish I had your optimism," I muttered.
