Prologue

Xylo's PoV

Waking up in a dark room Xylo saw a face he never thought he would see again

"BRYAN!!!" Xylo exclaimed.
"Who are you and how did you know my name?" Bryan exclaimed.
"What are you saying?!" Xylo yelled.
"I mean this is the first time we ever met after all," Bryan stated.

Suddenly an announcement rang.

"It's time for the First Trial on the table you'll see a gun to get out a gun must be aimed at someone's head a shot with a bullet within one of eight chambers."

Reflextively Xylo grabbed for the gun and bullets only to find them both in Bryan's poscession.

"Huh strange the gun is real but the bullets are fake... curious," Bryan went on.
"Wait what are you doing?!" Xylo exclaimed.

Bryan put the bullets in the gun, aimed at his head, and pulled the trigger

"It was fake good to know," Bryan stated.
"What were you thinking?!" Xylo questioned.
"The bullets were fake anyway so what does it matter?" Bryan replied, "well the door is open so let's go!"

Xylo and Bryan went out of the room and met with fourteen more familiar faces.

"Bryan is that you?!" Exclamed Bri.
"Yes my name is Bryan Films who are you?" Bryan replied.
"It's me Bri!" Bri exclaimed.
"Sorry but you must be confusing me for another Bryan," Bryan stated as if he didn't know anyone here.
"What's going on!?" Exclaimed Mario.

Suddenly a figure appeared.

"Hello I'm Ukko the Fortunate and you sixteen have been chosen to play a game. I'll let you all introduce yourselves since one of you clearly doesn't know the rest of you!" Ukko revealed.

A realisation came to everyone the Bryan that they see doesn't remember them.

"Well let's start introductioms then!" Kayla began hesitantly.

The people listed were

Kayla daughter of Aclepius
Bri daughter of Aphrodite
Brandeen son of Ares
Jyles son of Ate
Soren son of ???
Coleus son of Persephone
Relena daughter of Artemis
Jakey son of Selione
Mario son of Zeus
Mitch son of Poseidon
Xylo son of Hades
Austin son of Apollo
Michael son of Athena
Ritchie son of Hermes
Imno son of Hermes
Bryan son of ???

After introductions were over Ukko made a sudden announcement.

"Well then time for the second trial this time instead of pairs everyone is involved!" Ukko revealed.
"I assume it relates to the first trial with the gun?" Bryan asked.
"Well it's more in preperations for the wonderous Main Game!" Ukko laughed, "welp! Time for me to explain the rules!"

Ukko grabbed sixteen pieces of paper and gave them to another person here. Xylo looked at his paper and on his paper was Austin's name.

"You see you will all vote for another person and who ever has the most votes the person on the voted's paper will die!" Ukko menaced.
"What!" Exclained Relena.
"What if we kill you first then!" Yelled Michael.
"Two things! One you can't kill a floor master and two do you really want to be stuck here?" Ukko menaced, "well I'll leave you to your discussion!"

Everyone was left in a uncertain silence.

"Well guess I'll begin my target is... Xylo so please don't vote for me," Kayla began, "although I will probably vote for either Xylo or Mario as I don't want either to die..."
"Well my target is you Kayla so I suggest you vote for Xylo," Mario revealed.
"There is a loophole to this so no one has to die... we vote for ourselves," stated Bryan, "in fact Ukko may I vote first?"

Ukko decided to indulge them

"Sure write your vote on this piece of paper and once the first person votes a timer of 30 minutes will be set!" Ukko exclaimed happily.
"Wait wha~" Imno began.
"Well that should be okay!" Bryan stated.

Then in a quick motion after writing down something revealed his name before giving it to Ukko.

"Why did you do that! Now we're on a timer!" Yelled Mario.

"That's a good thing as we will now see the limits of everyone's trust," stated Bryan, "I hope you all make the right choice."

"Well we don't have a choice let's vote for ourselves a get a tie!" Xylo exclaimed.

After some resistence from Imno and Mario who wanted to vote for Bryan everyone casted their votes.

Kayla: 4
Bri: 1
Brandeen: 0
Jyles: 0
Soren: 1
Coleus: 1
Relena: 0
Jakey: 0
Mario: 0
Mitch: 2
Xylo: 1
Austin: 1
Michael: 1
Ritchie: 1
Imno: 1
Bryan: 2

Huh? What is this? K-kayla! That thought entered Xylo's mind.

"And with that the winner od this vote was Kayla! Congraduations!" Ukko laughed.
"Everyone don't panic we can restore this! Let's still trust each other!" Exclaimed a panicked Ritchie
"It's a shame you had to die councilor Kay." Brandeen stated.
"It's because I gave my trust to you all that this happened! I should have never trusted you all! Now you can see it for yourselves! You can't trust anyone! Trust doesn't exist!" Austin claimed in anger.
"I'm sorry!" Kayla stated.

Kayla why did you have to die! Xylo thought until a voice spoke to him.

"Kayla doesn't have to die," stated Xylo?
"Huh? What are you saying?" Xylo asked.
"Of course Kayla doesn't have to die... but someone else does have to die... sadly... the only sacrifice for you to continue... no for this game to continue..." explained Xylo?
"Who has to die instead of Kay!?" Exclaimed Xylo.
"You can't remember...? Just one very unlucky person... you know who that person is right...?" Questioned Xylo?
"I-I don't know!" Xylo exclaimed to his darkness.
"Then guess!" Xylo? Suddenly snapped, "let's... see how smart... you really are... Xylo"

Select Xylo?

"You are... correct..." revealed Xylo?

"Xylo! It's time for your turn to die!" Menaced Ukko.

"Kayla don't blame yourself for this! You didn't know! I know we haven't always gotten along but~"

Xylo fell to the floor like a puppet almost as if his strings were finally cut.

Bri's PoV
"So why did you want to meet with me Bryan?" Bri asked, "I mean Kayla's currently unable to sleep. I think she blames herself."
"Just wanted to warn you not to trust these five; Jyles, Jakey, Brandeen, Mario, and Relena since they're the suspects for killing Xylo. At least to me." Bryan revealed.
"Why?" Bri asked.
"All the ones on that list recieved zero votes. That should speak for itself," states Bryan, "well bye!"
