The Running Man: Prologue

Betrayed....

This is what happens in the future... we have failed to stop Nadine from ruling over the world, and now Nadine herself had made this world into a dystopian society.

About 30 years ago, Nadine ruled the world, because we have failed to stop her. She had reigned the world in force.

Nadine is very pleased by what she did, the world was never kind to her anyways, and it is her turn to be cruel to the world.

Now Zeus is holding this reality game show. This game show is one of the most brutal games ever. The game show is called "The Running Man." It is where criminals ran for their lives in order for them to be pardoned.

Zeus had declared that the games can be held anywhere around the world, because there are cameras around the world that Hephaestus had set up by himself.

Around the world, there are traps, just for the runners. These traps include:

1. The sky... This is the most difficult trap yet very effective at immobilizing and weakening a person. This is because the trap never moves and when it drops on you, you must carry it forever or if someone else takes it from you.

2. The pitfall trap... This trap is easy to build, and requires precision to place.

3. The cage... This one requires someone worthy of Hephaestus' skill of forgery to craft it and use it. This one traps a person inside it.

There will be more traps included, so stay tuned, viewers, for "The Running Man" will provide more entertainment for you.

So, here it is.... Josh McLean, Stuart Draganov, Jean Owens and Annabeth Chase were currently in the arena now, right beside Mount Othyrs. The gods don't have any idea why they are holding the show beside the Titan's base, but Nadine forced them to held a show in here so the Titans can enjoy the show live too.

On the stage, Artemis stepped forward to address the audience. She is the host for this game.

"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen." Artemis began her welcome speech for The Running Man show. "Today, we have our new contestants! They are: Josh McLean, Stuart Draganov, Jade Owens and Annabeth Chase!"

Just then the gate opens, to reveal the prisoners (criminals). All the audience were jeering at them, for something that they were alleged to be doing wrong.

It appears that they were accused of offending the gods in some ways.

"But wait..." Artemis said. "It appears that we are missing one person..."

(To be continued after we have one more person joining.)
