Chapter 9: Chapter Nine
Her event had already gained a little over 172 millions followers. It was a small number to the people who are in this universe, but Fiona was proud. She did this all on a whim, because it sounded fun while she was doing nothing. To be able to gain this much attention in a short amount of time is worthy of a book wearer. Hopefully not one with a Reborn Person, that never ends well when there is another person who knows what will happen running around.
...She should be fine.
Fiona ate a bowl of fruits, watching the screens in front of her. The two main screens were of Juliette and 35, whenever someone clicks in to watch, they had a high chance of getting one of their cameras. "Time for the countdown, put me on the speaker," She moved the microphone closer to her.
"Alrighty, hello! How is everyone on this mighty fine day?" She chirped, "we got team Leo and team Tiger, rawr~ Make sure to cheer for your favorite leader, I am! Go- I mean, I'm cheering for both, equally." She changed her words when she saw someone shake their head. "Let's get this thing started!"

The first few minutes wasn't chaos, instead it was quiet. Each side were looking at the other, people armed with 'weapons' and ready. Juliette was hiding in the tall grass, a hood thrown over her head. She moved slowly through it, a fake dagger in hand as she moved through the tall grass.
She listened to her surroundings, looking out for any noise coming near her. Grunts and yells filled the field, every now and then she pulled down a person and 'killed' them. She already had seven necklaces in her pocket, it was taking her a while to get to any of the towers. Juliette may have got lost and ended up at one of her towers.
She looked up, looking at the tower with the purple flag. Holding her dagger in front of her, she ran forward, breaking through the tall grass. An Alpha with a sword started to swig at her, dodging the sword, she kicked him down while breaking off the necklace he had on.
She joined the fight inside the tower, slowly making her way up. Only to realize that 35 wasn't in the tower and she had to go to the other tower. She sighed, looking at the other tower in the distance. One of the Omegas from her team ran passed her, a purple flag in their hand.

35's name was Andrew Boucher, he used to be a small time steamer and had finally got a small break with getting on a reality show. With twenty influencers, both famous and newcomers, he was one of the newcomers and he had thought he would met people who could bring him onto another level. Instead he met someone who would ruin him to use him as a stepping stone to become the most famous gamer.
Amanda Dawnstar was a bitch who cried with every little bump in her life and called herself strong because she got through it with a group of Alphas and Betas to pay someone to fix it. Andrew hated her along with every other person who got ruined by her, then he woke up fifteen years in the past when he was only 21 and decided he was going to steal one of her biggest followers.
Fiona Jackson made him rethink all of his plans, he remembered the young Alpha and her dad in the news, her death was horrible. Fiona was still a kid, her body still struggling to mature and she was just one of many victims. The internet made her out to be a villain as if her lost of everything was justified. (Why? There are worse people to hate, to bully, why them?)
This Fiona in this world wasn't the moody and angry Fiona of his old world. She was happy, cracking jokes and enjoying her young life, not knowing what will happen if she offended Amanda, who she doesn't know. Andrew hated Amanda even more, he didn't care if Amanda was truly the kind person who everyone praised in this life, he was going to make her suffer.

Fiona watched the fight with interest, Not many people knew how to fight but it didn't stop them. The few that did were her favorite to watch, Maximum, a soldier, a famous Boxer and Juliette were the ones with the most necklaces. Juliette surprised her, she was fast as she weaved though the fights. Narrowly missing blows that would no doubt take her out by the bigger alphas and betas.
It was hilarious how she kept getting lost in the tall grass, most of her time was running throughout the field. Juliette had a horrible sense of direction, she must have used her map a lot in the first challenge.
When Juliette and 35 ripped off the other's necklace, the bell rang as Team Tiger grabbed the last flag. Fiona sat in shock as she tried to think of a way to fix this.
Felicia, a female beta, started the music and animation on the screens for Team Tiger, "boss, do they move on or both lose?"
Smiling, Fiona turned on her camera and split all the screens with 35 and Juliette. "Well, well, well, look at this! While the living teammates of Tiger will be moving on, our team Leaders ended in a draw! How lucky do you feel today? Enough to bet your last winnings to move on or take what you got? It's your choice!"
35 without hesitation, stepped up to the camera on the wall, "I will take a chance to move on." Juliette gritted her teeth, before she also agreed to bet too. She could lose 1,000 stars, but the thought of getting the game and a pod was even more tempting. Not to mention the prize money of this round was 100 stars. The money she could get will help her with housing and take a weight off her shoulders during college.
Fiona smiled like the devil, leaning back in her chair. "Heads or tails?" She pulled a old coin from her pocket, the golden coin shine as she lift it up. "If you get it right, you lose. If you get it wrong, you win. Simple, right?"
Everyone: This-isn't it backwards?!
Juliette knew her luck was weirdly amazing at the oddest times and felt worried for the first time that her luck would come back and bit her on the ass. So she bit her tongue and wait for 35 to chose the side. 35 looked calm, more put together than she did, despite fighting not even five minutes ago.
"I will go with heads." 35 told Fiona and that's all Juliette needed to copy him, nearly forgetting to change the tails she wanted to heads when she also said her answer. 35 glanced at her, a annoyed look in his eyes.
Fiona smiled and threw up the coin with no warning. Juliette's heart stopped for a moment when the coin landed with a loud clack onto the table in front of Fiona. The gold shined so brightly that it took the camera a while to adjust. In the back of her mind, she realized it was Star Gold, not the average day gold.
Tails, it was tails!
"Yes!" Juliette cheered, happy that she copied 35.
