Chapter 14: Fight, Fight, Fight

It was a dark and dreary morning with sleet raining against the window. Back home it would have meant there would be little to do outside, but as a tester our lives wouldn’t be affected by the weather. Today was another deciding game, and thanks to our encounter with the group of men after our last mission, our team would be forced to compete for the second time.

Breakfast was cut short by the call for all testers who would be in the deciding game to go to the simulation room early.

“Testers from group’s, Margaret, Jackson, and William please come forward and head to the group simulation room.

“Good luck today guys.” Chris offered as both Jack and I stood and headed for what might be our demise.

“Thanks.” I managed.

No one was happy. Today had no happy ending. Either my team of Jack’s would be going home, so this was going to be our last sim together.

“I can’t believe it, this isn’t fare.” had been the general consensus at breakfast.

Now that we were walking neither of us talked, instead focusing on what lied ahead. As we approached the group sim room, I finally breached the silence. "Good luck today. I can't believe it has to be this way."

“I know, this is going to suck. Best of luck.”

And with that, we entered the simulation room, gathered in our groups and laid down for the start of the sim. My team was starkly quiet as we all explored our varying fears of losing.

Zoom! I was once again in the tunnel of lights heading towards the game that would decide my fate.

Boom! I was rocked as I slammed into my sim body. The room I was in was the same one we’d been dropped in before my jousting experience. Hopefully, this goes well. I hope wherever Jack is he isn’t as nervous as me.

Mrs. Nasdin immediately began talking. "Alright, today three teams will be in the deciding game instead of one. What you may not know however is that today's match is a girls only. So, either Rachel or Jessica is going to have to compete. You can talk amongst yourselves for a few minutes but make the decisions quickly." Mrs. Nasdin finished speaking and turned around to give us privacy.

The four of us turned inwardly, awkwardly waiting for one another to speak. Finally, Rasben broke the silence. “I think it should be Jessica.”

“I think it should be Rachel.” Jessica fired back.

Rachel didn't seem to have an opinion, so they all turned to look at me. "What do you think William?"

“I know you're gonna hate me, but I also think it should be you, Jessica. No offense Rachel, but Jessica is more athletic and stands a better chance of winning."

Jessica definitely wasn't thrilled with my decision, but she took it well. "Fine, I'll do it, But you all owe me if I get us through this.”

“Alright, have you made your decision?” Mrs. Nasdin asked already knowing our answer. “Good, then you
