sareru ka されるか

[Tiduas]

Hello!

I played a game today, when I encountered this:

２PをKOするとクリアだ！！
逆にKOされるか
時間切れになるとミスだぞ！

I would like som help with these sentences. As I can see, I have to knock down 2 players (or player 2) to clear the level. But on the contrary, something-something (don't understand that part, more on that later), I will then get at time-out and miss.

I feel kinda comfortable with that, but the "sareruka" (されるか) is confusing me. される can mean things like "to leave, to go away, to be distand, to pass" and such... but I just can't fit this in, and I can't understand what the "か" is doing there.

So anyone, please help me with this, and please tell me if the rest was right also. All help is welcome ^_^

Thanks alot for every answer! (btw, sorry if my english isn't the best sometimes)

You're thinking of 去る, when actually される here is the passive form of する. It's easy to tell the difference because KO is attached directly in front of it in order to form a verb; 去る would require some sort of subject marked by が. Since it's passive, KOされる means 'to be knocked out', and since 'you' is the inferred topic of the entire passage, it means 'you are/will be knocked out'.

The か at the end of the line marks the clause as an alternative, which follows straight into the next line, and is translated as 'or', so the second and third lines make up one sentence. My translation would be something like this:

If you KO 2P, then you clear the stage!
However, if you are knocked out or
if you run out of time, you fail the stage!

Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!! That makes perfectly sense!!

I'm feeling so happy right now, in one instant it seems that I understand so much more japanese then before! ^_^ So thanks a lot Javizy for the help, I really appreciate it!
