A bolt of lightning whizzed past Steven's head, his thoughts snapped back to the current situation. Okay third probably isn't the best time to get lost in thoughts.He took a quick look around, they didn't seem to be moving yet. Perhaps I was wrong.They'd need to move soon but there was enough air for now. Steven sprung into action and managed to get behind Blitz and restrain him. Blitz began pouring electricity into the gloves, they were unharmed but not unscathed, each spark sapped their strength a little more, eventually they would fall. Steven wouldn't be able to hold on much longer either, the gloves are better insulators than your average fabric gloves but they weren't quite good enough that he wouldn't seriously burn his hands if he didn't take them out of there soon. Then there was the whole issue of if he even wanted to hold Blitz still while Jacob killed him. Sure they needed to get out of here soon but Blitz seemed to be a pretty nice guy, well usually. Luckily all these problems decided to solve themselves in one fell swoop with the overdue transition to the next arena.
Despite his experience traveling through dimensions (or perhaps because of it) Steven found the transition particularly jarring. It was very different to walking through a gate. When you're going through a gate you know exactly when the shift will happen, you've got a physical point to link the moment to. This gives your body some time to brace itself, even if you don't notice it happening. A few years of traveling the crossroads had left Steven pretty good at handling the transitions smoothly. The two unpredictable changes in quick succession were made all the worse by the fact it felt like he was struggling with something that had once seemed natural. Anyway the point is Steven was a little disoriented after those transitions, he managed to steady himself enough to listen to the description of the new arena and was still just standing around gazing absentmindedly when he noticed Vex again. Most people seemed to have taken his advice and were already leaving, except for Sen who had decided the exact opposite course of action was the right one. Alright something's up with Vex, looks like it has to do with his arm. The same arm that did... whatever it was it did to Blitz. Blitz, I dunno if he's still like that or not. Sen seems normal but it wasn't exactly the most peaceful contestant last round.... Yeah that forest looks pretty nice right now
Steven entered the wood he didn't know it but he happened to be thinking about the same thing as Jacob now, food. Unlike Jacob however Steven had a much easier way of acquiring food. A few steps later Steven had a nice simple ham sandwich. Sure it probably cost Steven more energy to make the sandwich then it would give him but he didn't care, he was hungry and he felt like some ham and right now seemed to be the appropriate time.
