John woke up. Sad. Depressed. He looked over, his wife was still asleep. He looked out the window, flags were waving up in the air. He looked away and woke Jordan, his wife, up. She saw his face, she hugged him. They got out of bed and got dressed. Jordan went downstairs and fixed breakfast for him and their daughter, Ellinorre.

Jordan and Ellinorre waited for John to come down.
"The games starts," he paused, " today." He finally came down. He sat down at the table, he smiled at Ellinorre. Jordan placed his plate in front of him, they started eating. After an hour, John stood up and put his plate in the sink. Jordan took Ellinorre's and placed on the counter,
"Go watch TV, Sweety." said Jordan
"Yes, Mommy." replied Ellinorre running to the TV. Jordan wiped her cheek, she curled her lips, tears started forming. They hugged each other tightly and for a long time. An alarm went off. John kissed Jordan on the lips, he went and hugged Ellinorre fast.
"I love you, be good for Mommy, ok?" John said.
"Yes, Daddy!" Ellinorre said cheerfully.

John left. Jordan covered her mouth as she saw John leave for the Empire Games. Ellinorre saw her cry, she started crying.

John met up with Jack and Fong. They stood in a crowd of men, with their swords and shields ready. John, Jack, and Fong were one of few to have powers.
"Welcome to the 300th Empire Games!" yelled the announcer," y'all will be divided, fighting for the 20 empires still on this Earth. Spread around the Earth you will be placed, with a tattoo of your empire on your shoulder or hand. If you want to be on your friends side, I suggest you just forget about it."
"Nice to meet you John. Jack." commented Fong walking off. They stared at him leaving.
"The games starts in five seconds!" yelled the announcer. John and Jack shook hands, they hugged each other before the beam picked the whole group up.

Fong was placed in Zonn's Empire, one of the strongest and biggest empires.
"Oh, this'll be fun," commented Fong smiling.
John and Jack were placed in the same empire, Humanities Protectors. They looked at each other,
"Our biggest concern is Fong," stated John. Jack nodded his head. Eight more people appeared next to them. Everyone looked at one another.

Jordan went over to Maxiny's house with Ellinorre. They watched the games on the TV. Watching John and Jack walking around.
"Did you apply for the Giving?" asked Jordan.
"Yeah," answered Maxiny, "they should get their armor in the morning."

John and Jack looked around, on high alert. Watching each others back. Zonn Empire and Humanities Protectors Empire share a border with the most military activity. Its dangerous going there, but that's the only way to get to the other side, into the others empire.

"I think its time for Zonn's 100th victory!" cheered Fong putting his fist in the air. Everyone cheered and spread out, scavenging for the other empire's soldiers.

"Humanity needs their 5th victory!" stated John.
"Yeah," agreed Jack.
