631 Saving Everyone (2/2)

However, the strength used was too strong for an eight-year old's body, and his fist had been shattered.

”Ahhh!” Sil screamed in pain.

When Splinter first revealed himself, he only saw Raten approach the body first. After his rash act at the beginning, he never thought someone would be willing to work with him.

With three of them, he stood no chance, and he decided to just cover himself with the earth ball, scared and frightened. Soon though, it would start to melt as Raten's acid hands went through, Splinter felt a soft touch on his head and nothing else.

”You three can fight for that useless position in the castle. But we are getting out of here.” Raten said.

When Splinter finally had the courage to open his eyes, he could see that they were gone, and they had left all of them alive.

”Sir what would you like us to do?” Pam asked as she had been watching the whole fight, while invisible from the sidelines.

”Clean up the mess,” Hilston ordered his workers.

Raten passed on his ability to Sil, and now the three of them were running towards the wall. When they eventually got halfway, for the first time, a message was sounded across the whole island.

[Only three contestants are remaining]

It took a second for the kids to realise what that meant. That all of the people taking part in the event were now dead, and the only ones left alive were them three.

”That's fine, it still doesn't stop us from finishing the plan. We're so close!” Raten shouted.

But as soon as that message played, Sil's eyes went hollow. His mind was in a different space while his legs were on autopilot. His pace slowed down, and he was eventually running slower then Vorden and was at the back of the group.

”Huh, is there something wrong?”

'If I leave now with Raten and the others, Hilston won't keep his promise to bring back Caser. But Hilston said I have to win, and the only way to win is to…is to…'

The more he thought about it, he couldn't possibly take his two friends' lives to save another, even if Caser was so important to him.

'I just wish there was a way to save them all.' He thought.

Then, an idea came to his mind, maybe there was a way to save all of them. Raten would be angry at him because they wouldn't be able to leave the island this way, but at least all four of them would be alive.

If Hilston was willing to bring back Caesar for him, then he could bring back Vorden and Raten. Even if Hilton didn't agree, whatever ability he would use, he would steal it and use it to bring them back later.

Thinking of the four of them being together put a smile on his face and before he knew it, Vorden felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his back.

”What…Sil..” Vorden said as he turned around and his mouth filled with blood.

Raten, no longer hearing footsteps turned around, and could see it. He could see that Sil had stabbed Vorden, and not only that for some reason, he was smiling.

”Sil!!!!” Raten screamed. ”WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!”

”I know you will be angry now,” Sil said. ”But don't worry, I promise we will all be together this way.”
