"Cat..." was all Ryan could muster as he fell to the ground, "This can't...This can't be real. This has to be a dream."

"Well it isn't!" snapped Mace, "My sister and now Cat, they're gone!"

"Mace knock it off," said Shy, "This isn't Ry's fault."

"Xid gave her life for you! And more people keep dying!" Mace yelled as Shy stood between them.

"Mace, you can't change what happened!" snapped Shy, seeming to calm him down.

"No, but I can win," said Mace, "And I'm gonna use my wish to bring my sister back."

The lights came back on, they looked to be in an open area with multiple obstacles and platforms. However Shy and Ryan noticed that their clothes had changed to a blue color while Mace's was red. This was a team game and Mace wasn't with them.

"Ry, I think this is Team Tail Tag," observed Shy as she pointed to Ryan's tail.

Go!

"Shy, we need to get you a tag," said Ryan as the two started to run around.

"I see someone," said Shy, "I'll be right back."

"Shy wait! Don't separate!" Ryan argued.

"Ry relax," calmed Shy, "Out of the two of us, I'm safe for the moment, no one is gonna come after me. You keep moving."

Ryan nodded as he continued to move and dodge the other players. He then made a dive off of a platform to a conveyor belt. However, when he regained his footing someone grabbed his tail and took off.

"Damn it!" cursed Ryan as he chased after the player who took his tail.

"Ry!" he heard Shy call out to him, "I got a tail! What happened to yours?"

"Asshole took it!" growled Ryan, "But I'm taking it back!"

Then Mace jumped in front of Ryan, going for the same person. The two ran as fast as they could to reach the player.

30 seconds

Mace and Ryan ran even faster at the sound of the timer. Then the player tripped, this was their chance to grab the tail. The two leaped at the player, only one of them was going to grab that tail.

5...4...3...2...1...Round Over

When the lights went dark, Mace was gone.

Congrats to the 8 of 15 who made it to the final round.
