Thump.
With that coherent sound, Zangya?s lanky form crashed against the blades of grass on Dante Island. Lying exhausted on the ground for a second, Zangya?s quick rest was soon interrupted by the sound of Karl Jak?s voice coming over the intercom?Dante?s Abyss 2007 was starting.
?Can everyone hear me?? he said, his voice booming from various megaphones spread across the island, ?Welcome to your new home for the next seven days! Here is all you need to know,? he said, a slight chuckle escaping his lips as he spoke. His next words were forceful and direct: ?Find each other. Kill each other. If a winner is not found in seven days?nobody wins! So let?s not let that happen, ?kay? Good luck, kiddies!?
Zangya pressed her palms against the ground and raised herself up to a squatting position, taking her face out of the dirt. The place was dark, and Zangya could barely see where she was going as she began her trek. Shaking her head, she slid the black knapsack off of her shoulder and unzipped it, peeking in and picking out a compass from its contents. She also noticed a scouter inside; smiling, she adjusted it to her face and snapped on the contraption with a see-through green screen for the information to appear on. With the light on the side of the scouter, however tiny it may have been, Zangya attempted to light the compass so she could find which direction was west.
Soon, the little needle pointed north, and, smiling, Zangya realized where west was. Doing a one-eighty turn, the Ader began stepping west, heading towards who-knows where; who she would face, she did not know. What would happen? She did not know. But there was one thing she did know:
This was going to be life changing.
Crackle.
That sound came swiftly from the trees around her; looking around frantically, she attempted to quickly unzip the bag and reach inside instinctively. Pulling out the random weapon she had been given, she flipped on the chi pistol?s energy reserve and aimed it recklessly around the clearing.
?Come out!? she called.
Nothing.
?If you?re there, come on out! Don?t be cowardly!?
Still nothing.
Breathing heavily, Zangya turned to the west yet again. Sliding the chi pistol back into the bag as she deactivated the energy reserve, Zangya began walking yet again, zipping her bag closed as she did so.
Dante?s Abyss 2007 had just begun.
