"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of the Internets most popular and violent show... The Running Man"
The announcer's voice called out, the non-existent audience screamed out in excited pleasure.
Arcade came onto the stage, his pure white suit gleaming in the spot-light.
He lifted the golden microphone to his mouth and began the show.
"YES!" he cried out "He we are again, another low-life to send into the zones, another one of civilizations unwanted scum to be the latest 'star' of... THE RUNNING MAN!"
"Bob tell us about tonights Runner" he flashed that game show smile.
"Well Arcade tonights Runner is known as the fastest thief in Rio, and has been the thorn in the side of all decent business men" Bob announced.
The 'decent business men' mentioned were the largest crime family in Rio.
"He is thought to have stolen over four hundred thousand dollars in total, he calls himself 'Dash' and tonight he is here in person" with Bob's introduction finished Arcade moved in to bring in the Runner.
Arcade waved his hand to the door which opened and the Runner Dash was brought in.
He was dressed in a Silver and Red Runners suit.
This was different to the normal Silver and Yellow suit, but it was not uncommon for the occasional Runner to wear the Silver and Red.
Dash was forced into the roll cage seat that will send him into the zones.
He was scared out of his mind, it showed in the sweat on his brow and the paleness of his face.
"Well Dash for all you've done you are going to pay the price, but we like to give even the most dishonest thief and crook a chance of freedom" Arcade tells him.
"You will go into the Zones, and if you make it out of the Zones alive you will have won your freedom" Arcade smiled a sly and slightly cruel smile "So in you go!"
The cage fired up and Dash was sent shooting into the Zones.
Arcade turned to the cameras.
"Well the Runner is on his way and you know what that means, it's time to send in... " he held his hand to his ear awaiting the audiences reply.
The 'audience' cried out.
"THE STALKERS!"
"Who!" Arcade called.
"THE STALKERS!" the audience screamed back.
The voting was open, the viewers could choose their favorite Stalker and if he got the most votes he would be sent in.
The votes rolled in, the viewers picked their favorite.
When the voting was completed the numbers were counted.
Arcade was informed of the result, he grinned.
"Well Fans you have voted and voted well" he grinned "And in these times of failing legal entertainment our very 'illegal' entertainment is in much demand, as your voting shows" he walked over to where the Stalkers would enter.
"You have made your choice, not one but two Stalkers!" he waved his hand to the door as it opened.
"And here they are, one of the best tag teams in the game! I give you Buzz-saw and Fireball!" Arcade's voice sounded like the call of triumph on the field of battle.
The doors opened and the Stalkers stood before the cameras, Fireball sent a jet of flame into the air and Buzz-saw cut a steel frame in two.
Buzz-saw jumped upon his motorcycle and roared off into the Zones, Fireball ignited his jet-pack and flew in after his partner in the hunt.
Dash ran like the Devil himself was on his tail.
He was indeed fast, very fast.
He sprinted like an Olympic athlete, making excellent time and distance.
His feet flew over the ground and he moved with a fluid grace that almost seemed unnatural, but as scared as he was it was not uncommon for such fear to grant an amazing turn of speed.
But as fast as he was he was no match for the speed of The Stalkers.
Fireball was the first to see Dash.
He landed nearby and sent an eight foot long jet of fire toward Dash.
Dash dropped to the floor and covered his head.
The fire shot over head and he rolled form under it, sprang up onto his feet and sprinted like a madman toward the cover of a rusted building.
Fireball took aim again and scared Dash into diving through a hole in the wall, Dash was inside the building to scared to leave in for fear of a burning to death.
But Fireball had maneuvered him inside for a reason.
Buzz-saw tore along the building floor toward the terrified Runner.
Dash screamed out and ran like the wind away from the deadly Stalker.
But his legs were tired from the running, he had sprinted since exiting the cage, and now was short of breath and energy.
He still gave all he could, he darted behind every bit of cover and ducked away from every blow that was thrown.
But he was getting slower.
Finally he was just to slow to evade an attack.
Buzz-saw cut him across the back, the deadly blade sliced his spine and cut his bones.
Dash stumbled forward and ducked out through another hole.
The pain was unbearable, he could feel his legs going, his life fading away.
He ducked behind a broken wall.
His hope was to go unseen by The Stalkers.
A fools hope, that vanishes before his eyes when both Stalkers come into view.
Buzz-saw grins through his leather mask.
Fireball smiles, but behind his mirror like mask it goes unseen.
Fireball sets Dash alight with a jet of flame.
Dash screams in agony, his voice breaks under the pain.
He can scream no more.
Buzz-saw slashes out with his blade, and slices the Runner in two.
Both Stalkers cheer in triumph, they roar out in unison.
Arcade dances his jig of victory.
The Runner is dead.
"What a chase, what a run he gave us" Arcade giggles.
"Well another show is done, but another is always just around the corner" he grinned "So until next time fans that is all from us here on The Running Man!"

Wow, the runner reminded me of a fox by the end...crippled by the huntsmen, cowering in a hole and praying they don't find him!! I know, he was thief...but jeez, I felt sorry for the hapless fool!! Whatever crimes were his, he didn't deserve that...
What stands out to me, Arcade's comment about people bein drawn naturally to violent entertainment!! Is society really that sick?? Sometimes I have to wonder...
By the by, nice graphic for the Running Man logo!! Where'd ya get it, dude??

OOC:
I did Google search for 'The Running Man movie images' and found it there.
Thought it would be a good way to keep the viewer point of view of the story exciting, after all that is pretty much what they would see when logging on to the show.
Glad you liked it.
