CHAPTER 17 THE PRISONER OF BRIMSTONE

Considering that Kat was about to enter a dimension that housed the most dangerous living criminals in the history of Elementia, Stan was amazed at how giddy she was. He sat next to her now, alongside Charlie and DZ, as they waited for their escorts to arrive and take them through the portal to Brimstone Prison.

“So, Kat, DZ, how did the Spleef semis go?” asked Stan.

“Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about that!” Charlie exclaimed. “Tell us all about it!”

As Stan and Charlie looked on expectantly, DZ suddenly looked downcast, and all the happiness that had been building in Kat’s face vanished in the blink of an eye.

“What’s the matter, guys?” asked Charlie with concern.

“You did . . . I mean, you did win the match, didn’t you?” asked Stan.

“Well, of course they won!” said Charlie, as if this should be obvious. “All the stats and leader boards said the Ocelots stood no chance. . . .”

“No, Charlie.” DZ sighed. “We lost.”

“Shut up, no you didn’t.” Charlie laughed. “You guys are way better than that other team, the leader boards had you at first place in the tournament, there’s no way you could lose to a team as average as the Ocelots.”

“Thank you, Charlie,” snapped Kat bitterly. “It’s not like that’s all we’ve been hearing every time we’ve talked to anyone, and it’s not like Cassandrix has already rubbed our noses in it, no, we haven’t heard that at all, Charlie, thank you for pointing it out!”

“Whoa, okay there,” said Charlie, raising his hands. “Back off, I just can’t believe it. You guys actually lost?”

“Yerp,” replied DZ, sighing. “Well, I guess there’s always next year.”

“Or there’s always this year!” a thrilled voice came from behind them.

The four players looked at the doorway and saw Ben enter. He was waving a piece of paper in his hand and looked elated.

“What are you talking about, Ben?” Kat asked, looking bewildered.

“We’re back in the tournament, guys!” he exclaimed.

“Wait, what?” Kat asked, so surprised that she tumbled backward off her chair in the midst of pulling on her iron boots.

“Are you serious, man?” asked DZ as he ran over to look at the paper, quickly followed by Kat after she regained her footing. “How the Herobrine did that happen?”

“Read for yourself,” replied Ben with a grin as he flourished the paper forward for his teammates to see. Kat read it aloud.

“‘Attention members of the Zombie Spleef Team. The Ocelots Spleef Team, which was due to compete in the upcoming Spleef World Finals, has been disqualified from the tournament for unsportsmanlike conduct. As a result, you, the runner-up to the disqualified team, are now slotted to take their place in the Spleef World Finals’!” Kat finished, and she gave a scream of joy before jumping into the air and landing in a group hug with her teammates.

“The Ocelots got disqualified?” asked DZ in awe. “What did they do?”

“You guys haven’t heard yet? It’s all anyone’s been talking about,” Ben answered. “People are talking about it even more than they’re talking about the leak.
