“Yeah, sure, I get good money from my job, a lot of it, I get a nice house, and best of all I get my rights. Yet I fucking hate it.”
-Iwisa, number five contender in the MFF
Iwisa carefully stalked through the tall golden grass that oddly sprouted from the sandy dunes, he looked up to see several white drones flying toward a direction in front of him. Something is happening, Iwisa stood up and started to sprint through the tall savannah grass, checking the huts and stalls along the single cobblestone path he had found trying to find his opponent.
The surroundings around him were odd, something had happened here, no doubt. Iwisa walked down the path, on either side of him stood little huts with tin roofs of differing colors ranging from red to purple and everything in between, the walls were decaying wood that was crawling with red termites, and the small square windows that were smashed leaving shards of weak glass left scattered on the niche road.
Snakes slithered through holes they had made in the huts, he heard a flock of cranes in the distance take off and fly away, something disturbed those birds, thought Iwisa. Iwisa ran as fast as he could down the thin cobblestone road towards the outgrown patch of grass, that was taller than he was, he charged through grass, stumbling over rocks half haphazardly buried in the sand, but he didn’t stop, until he tripped over a rock landing face first in cold and murky water situated in a slim stream, he groggily lifted his head up to see his opponent cowering in front of a grey lion, which had sustained non-lethal shots to the side and leg, three smoking live rounds buried in the sand, and the snub nosed revolver underneath the lions paw.

Chen leaned his back against the boulder with a mortified look in his eyes, as he prayed and looked past the lion who tauntingly slashed at his arms playfully, he saw Iwisa with mud covering his face who got up, crouching as he stalked his way towards the Liza and Chen.
Liza backed away from Chen and tilted his head up and let out an immense round, and raised its rear end up and lowered her head down and into the face of Chen, meeting gazes.
“Liza is about to bite this kids head off.” Said Matt gravely, breaking the radio silence.
Chen closed his eyes after looking inside the gaping jaws of Liza, cowering over the four rows of teeth the lion proudly boasted. But god saved his soul that day, no, Iwisa did, as a short spear came out of his mouth, dropping dead to the side with a final growl.
Chen laid exasperated on the boulder relieved but at the same time fearing the man who had killed the beast. His opponent.
In the glaring sunlight he saw a shadowed figure offering a hand down to Chen, he grabbed it pulling himself up, to see Iwisa standing behind his shield with the crescent shaped axe in the other hand, and he gestured towards Chen’s knife that was pocketed in his pants. “Fight me.”
“And this is a wonderful and heartwarming example of Iwisa’s compassion, empathy, and honor, he lets his opponent get up and stand a chance.” Said Jimmothy.
Chen stood frozen on his knees with his shiv in between his palms as he prayed and begged for Iwisa to spare his life. “Please, I’m not ready to go,” he said as he coiled in fear as Iwisa walked slowly towards him, “I’ll-I’ll do anything, please…” tears were streaming down Chen’s face, as Iwisa stood over him, pettiness was evident in Iwisa’s eyes.
Iwisa got down on one knee, leveling with Chen, he took the stone shiv from in between his palms, he then separated Chen’s hands, putting the shiv in his palm and closed it. Iwisa then stood up, “Do not pray now my friend, god is not here. Do not plead, kill me, I beg you, try.”
Iwisa then backed away, seeing Chen’s scraped up arm and shattered armor sleeve. Iwisa took his axe and skinned the front of his forearm. “Please. Kill me.”
Chen found motivation, knowing that there was no way to get out of this alive without killing this man. Chen charged towards Iwisa with his shiv, but was hopelessly knocked back by Iwisa’s charging shield.
Chen stood up and buried his knife in Iwisa’s shield, sinking his shiv inside the left hemisphere of his chest, now he thought it was free game.
Iwisa charged at the stunned Chen, who was stunned at the sudden burst of energy Iwisa was displaying, Iwisa threw down his shield and kneed Chen in the stomach, knocking the breath out of him, Iwisa then slashed his axe across his head, then pushing Chen away from him.
Chen stumbled backwards, his face slashed diagonally across his face, then he fell backwards dead and unmoving.
