Layla kicks Kiren on her back and sends her flying. "Don't fuck with me Kiren! Give it all you got!" Layla's eyes were damp with tears, but she didn't let it show. She needed Kiren to beat her. She needed Kiren took win... so Layla could take the blow. Layla needed to get Kiren mad, make her attack. Layla was going to lose so that Kiren wouldn't go through the Punishment game.

"raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Matt shotus as he keeps training with the ipossibly giant sword he was wielding will increase my strength and lvie up to being the blooyd tank...ill do it for you kiren... he says as he slashes pretend parries and stabs. he was determined to be in top shape for he knows she never wants him to get hurt. so he must be able to defeat his foes. "for kirens sake..." he mutters to himself panting as he keeps training.

*~Her eyes widden she looks at Layla like she had lost her mind she stands there lost she whispers *Alright...*she smiles then bites her lip and says*Restriction *her needles reveal them selves she runs to layla and whispers*How do we get out *she attacks as if shes gonna hit layla but misses so it looks real*

Layla ran up to the guards. "I will take the Striker's place." her voice was strong. "I will replace him."she stood outside the cage, she didn't want to see her get hurt, she couldn't help but want to protect her, she was her only friend here.

"CHANGE OF PLANS, FOLKS. THE JEAGER WILL BE FACING THE MOCKINGJAY! GIVE A HAND FOR THE ICY QUEEN!" the announcer said, then Striker was dragged off stage and Layla took his place.

"I'm sorry Kiren, but I can't let you do this." Layla didn't draw blood, she just stood there, waiting fro Kiren's attack.

Matt clenches his fists and growls bringing out a huge sword that he uses to train with, he will find a way to protect her "no matter what i wont allow Kiren to die." he says as he slashes rthe walls pretending they were enemies. he swung and slashes and stabbed the walls using his anger to push his body to get the strength to carry and swing the giant sword around

*~The Tv's in the cells came on Kiren looked up at smiled her best smile in her mind she wnated everyone safe so she didnt want matt to fight she breathes in and shivers she looks as the striker smiles evily licking his lips she looks at the screen and says* I will not kill him but..*she knows theyll know shes gonna torture him she closes her eyes and when she opens them the insane kiren has taken over*TICK TOCK HOW MUCH DO WE GOTTA WAIT WHILE THEY TALK I WANNA KNOCK HIM OFF HIS FUCKING FEET *she giggles and bits her lip blood coming into a needles the man smiles and slices his wrist as a sword appears kiren is impressed but not to much cause of course her best friends had weapons like that the striker says* ILL make you wish you were dead and when you are ill feed you to the dogs!!

Matt growls and slams the sledgehammer agaisnt the cell door tears attempt to cloud his eyes but he wipes them away "i onyl wnated to protect her she is weak from her breakdown she will die...she is my only friend..." he says then he slams his fist into the wall knwoing none of his weapons woudl be able to do anything so instead he got up and trained hard...to keep his mind off of Kiren and the thoguht of his only friend dying in the god forsaken arena.

*~The guards look at each other as she stares at matt her eyes show fear and hope but love not fear for self but all these e motions for matt she smiles and leans forward hugging him *Thank you...but...im sorry matty*she pushes him into the cell and shuts it smiling then turns disappearing into the arena as turns she puts her hands to her mouth and looks at layla as in saying "Ill keep my promise""*
