Y-608016:True.....Okay listen.Do you want to make a pact?
X-350001:When you already know that a single CLERIC is gonna get into the real world?
Y-608016:(Interrupting)Yeah.We 'll help each other.See, even for the final lap we have a hell lot of clerics.I want to increase our probability to 1/2 from nothing.See i can easily figure out that we aren't gonna win on our own.
X-350001:(confused)Yeah .........yeah.You see there, thats  X-708093.She has been trying to push me and throw me out of here.I would love to take this up to do the same to her.
Y-608016:So either its not 1 of us or its nobody!

Y-202012: Hey what are you two upto?No pairing up for us?Know the rules?And you silly girl, have you lost it completely?He is gonna use you till the end and finally gonna throw you off.

ANOTHER CRACKLING IN THE SKY.

(Everyone starts running.)
Y-608016:(About to run) You can do  this right?
X-350001:(Nods)
(Both start to run.)
X-350001 NARRATES:AND STARTED THE "BIG RACE".(X-350001 & Y-608016 are running really fast.)
WE HELPED EACH OTHER(Y-608016 catches X-350001's hand to avoid her from slipping).
THE TEMPERATURES KEPT ON RISING.(the sequence getting more reddish/overexposed)
WE ELIMINATED CLERICS......EVEN THOSE WHO DIDN'T HARM US.(Two of them kicking and punching the other clerics)
SUDDENLY THE CLUTTER TURNED INTO AN UNUSUAL SILENCE.AS IF WE WERE THE ONLY CLERICS LEFT ON THE STRANDED ISLAND.

(They stop after running  for a while.)
X-350001:There is not a single clue! Strange place! Have you any idea? where exactly are we heading?
(A guy with a rod tries to hit Y-608016.)

(The rod hits a tree.)
(Y-608016 throws SRG2.He falls,disappears.)
X-350001:That was close.
Y-608016:(surprised)Come on! we have to keep moving.That way.(Puts a few steps forward.)
X-350001: At least say thanks.
Y-608016:Yeah yeah.Whatever.
VOICE: 3 CLERICS LEFT.
X-350001:(Spotting X-708093)Look there is X-708093.She is the only one left apart from us.Get her.
(Y-608016 jumps towards her to catch her only to entangle his leg in a rope.Somehow avoids a fall only to be kicked by X-350001.Looks at her,disappears.X-350001 Smiles.)
(X-708093 approaches X-350001.They smile mysteriously & flip a coin.)
