, Ryan thought) for the others. The team began to melt together, combining into one being, a shimmering figure, tall and muscular, and blue. He stood in a field, locked in battle with another figure, this one orange. Ryan saw that the orange figure was beating the blue one, which was becoming smaller and weaker. The figures broke apart, and each moved to opposite ends of the field. The blue figure was met by another shape, a black one with a pink outline. The blue and the pink held each other, and a dick shape began to form from the blue shape's crotch. Together they melted in together. Were they fucking? Ryan couldn't tell. Whatever happened, the blue shape grew taller, and bigger, and turned back to face the orange shape, which was alone. The blue towered over the orange, and Ryan knew that it would now be able to defeat it. They approached each other, but instead of fighting, their heads moved toward each other. They almost might have been kissing. Again, the dick shape emerged, and the blue figure fucked the orange one.
"What in the entire fuck...?" Coach Ryan asked out loud, to no one in particular.
Everything began to fade away. Ryan found himself standing in the empty halls of the school. It was night, none of the lights were on, but he could see. At the end of the hall stood a man, dressed in a sharp, grey suit, a wide rimmed hat sat perfectly on his head.

In the center of the library was an empty space, a carpet laying on the floor, with the words: "Reading is the gateway to another ... Readers are astronauts, explorers, adventurers." He couldn't read the word in the middle. A pedestal sat on it, with an open book laying on top.
The grey man walked to the book and beckoned Ryan over. "Soon, you will be taken back to the place you think you know. But first, it's important that you understand something." Ryan stopped trying to understand. Instead, he approached the book and looked inside, but the pages were blank. The grey man continued, "You think that you are a leader, in charge of the world you've built for yourself. This is the first of three lies. You are, in fact, just as lost as the rest of them, being led by the hand you cannot see.
"The second lie is that your team is your team. For the most part, they are. There is, however, one who's intentions lie elsewhere. You must find this one, and remove them from the equation."
"Who is it?"
"As you ...
