A bus travels through a winding road hugging the mountainside. Inside are members of the GameTavern forum. Neo has organized a convention. The bus is headed for the big Sega arcade in Los Angeles. Right now everyone is just outside of San Fransisco. People are talking and playing on their Gameboys. The bus starts to slow down. In the distance there is a big truck with camoflauge paint and soldiers standing outside of it with automatic weaponns. One flags the bus down and it comes to a stop. Two soldiers board the bus wearing gas masks. The driver pulls a gas mask out from under his chair and puts it on. One of the soldiers pulls out a small grenade pulls the pin and throws it. Purple gas starts coming out. Everyone falls to the ground unconcious.
Everyone starts to come to. They're in a small square room. The lights turn on and armed soldiers start marching in. Accompanying them is a Japanese man in a blue sweater. Everyone is confused and scared. The soldiers cart in a T.V. to the far side of the room and the Japanese man goes to stand beside it.
"Hello patrons of GameTavern! You have been selected from all of the forums on the internet to participate in Battle Royale and fight to the death."
Knux starts laughing. The Japanese man stares at him and asks, "What's so funny?"
Knux immediatley stops laughing.
"Neo strongly opposed the selection of GameTavern."
Soldiers cart in a gurney. They pull of the sheet to reveal Neo's dead body. Everyone starts to freak out and soldiers fire shots into the air. Everyone quiets down.
"Now, you may all be confused right now. So I have prepared a video for you to watch."
The Japanese man turns the T.V. on. A very perky japanese woman in an orange tank top comes on the screen.
"Hello patrons of GameTavern! You are very lucky. You have been chosen to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT in Battle Royale!"
People watching the video start murmuring nervously between eachother.
The Japanese man yells, "No talking during the video!"
A red logo comes up on the T.V. The title reads, "How to properly fight a battle royale"
The japanese woman comes back on screen.
"You are on a small island off the coast of California."
A little map comes up on the screen.
"It is divided into many sections. Oh. Regarding the collars you are all now wearing.!"
Everyone feels their necks.
"It is an electronic collar. It sends out information such as your pulse. That is how you'll be monitored. Also, it has a device inside that can explode on command. If you try to take it off, Pow! It explodes. It will also explode if you try to leave the island, or linger in a danger zone for too long. Every 6 hours, 3 new danger zones will be opened. So if you're in one, you'll want to get out quickly."
"Now, you have 3 days to fight. Only one person can go home. So if there is more than one person left at the end of the 3rd day, everyone's necklaces explode. You will each be given a bag. In it is 3 days worth of rations, a map, a flashlight and a random weapon."
She pulls out an axe. "Huh? Wow. This weapon is very lucky. Some people will get lucky. Others...not so lucky. So now I will call you up one by one to get your bag. Then you will be loaded on a truck and taking to your starting point. Good luck!"
The Japanese man stops the tape.
"Any question?"
Joeiss raises his hand. "How were we selected."
"Through an impartial lottery."
Vampyr raises his hand. "If I survive, can I go home?"
"Yes but only if everyone else is dead."
THRILLHO raises his hand. "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm sure your all familiar with the FBR act. The internet is becoming crowded. Too much information is being moved around. It's overflowing. Business computers are crashing and billions of dollars are being lost. Battle Royale is a way of discouraging people from clogging up the internet with forums and other things. So now you'll all be called up to get your bags and get into the trucks. You each have an assigned number. Oh. And you'll notice that there are two transfer members from other forums joining you. Talbain"
He points to a tall guy with glasses and a yellow bandana.
"And OrangeBoy."
He points to another guy who has no hair.
"So, number 1, ZebraRampage."
One by one everyone goes up to claim their bags and get loaded onto the trucks. Everyone nervously awaits their fate.
