Intro
While still inside the location of the first exam a proctor will approach each of the various groups and hand each person with their own scroll. Much like the last exam the scrolls will only react to the voice and name of the pertaining shinobi and once read their message will fade out of existence, incapable of retrieval. When finished, the scroll will be returned to the waiting proctor before being led out with your newly formed teams into the new testing zone.
Through the back of the hut and into the forest area behind will each team be led in complete silence, the weight of their scrolls being left to weigh in their minds until finally arriving at the location. In the center of the forest, hidden amongst thick mass of trunks lays a large silver well. Two proctors stand on either side of the well with their hands out stretched to gesture for the teams to come closer. Once close enough it can be seen that a ladder stretches from the mouth to the the dark abyss below. You are instructed to go down and that the test will begin the moment you hit the bottom. The Test "I regret to inform you that this was a trap. If you care to look up, the path you entered from has been blocked off and as you listen to me a toxin is being released into the air. You will have three hours before the toxin spreads throughout your entire body and begins to eat away at your nervous system." A voice boomed out at the bottom of the ladder, the faint light that had been from the entrance disappearing as the well was sealed off, leaving you and your company to listen in complete darkness. "Do believe this is a real toxin and one that has taken many potentials from us in the past." The voice stated, dim fire light errupting from torches laid about the entire tunnel, quickly revealing the skeletal remains of former contestants as well as the path that the tunnel took. "However, at the end of the tunnel there is an antidote... If you can get to it, you will be released from here. That is if you can make it." ---Step 1--- Once you and your team is ready to move it will take 50 Lines to begin navigating the long, spiraling path of the tunnel. As you continue on you'll notice that the walls seem to close in as the path becomes more and more narrow, the torches coming more and more seldom until you are reduced to shuffle side by side through the darkness. The path will eventually widen dramatically as you hit a pitfall. It will take an Normal Disguise Awareness check vs 500 to notice the pit in time, if failed that player will fall in and it will take 50 lines to climb back out. If a player fails by 20 or more, then they are considered to have fallen bad and twisted their ankle (They will take -5% to any further checks in this test and cause all line counts to be increased by 25 lines to show how they're slowing the team down.) Now that you are aware of the pitfall, you will notice that it extends for several feet before the path starts again and the only way to get to the other side to jump across as the other side of the hole is too smooth to climb back out of. To make it across will take a check of Strength+Agility vs 250, if a player fails they will fall back into the pit and if they fail by 20 or more, then they are considered to have fallen bad and hurt themselves in some hindering fashion (They will take -5% to any further checks in this test and cause all line counts to be increased by 25 lines to show how they're slowing the team down.) However, if another player has already successfully gotten over they can attempt to catch a falling player with a check of Strength+Agility vs The Falling Player's Weight, success means they caught and pulled the player back up, however if they fail the player will continue to fall in, If they fail by 20 or more they will also be dragged back down into the pit, and If they fail by 40 or more they would have fallen along so badly that they will also get hurt. It takes 50 Lines for each player to climb there way back out of the pit before trying again. ---Step 2--- Once all players have made it across the pit it will take 50 more lines to continue navigating the tunnel. As you continue down the path you will notice irregularities with the path, the ground level will continuously raise and drop at strange and dramatic intervals and from deeper on the tunnel the sound of turning gears can be heard. Once again you and your group will be faced with a challenge before being allowed to continue on. Spanning over the next thirty yards the ground is split up amongst several panels, each of which are shifting from one place; either up and down, back and forth, or left and right... each at varying speeds. To get across it will take a check of Agility vs 750 and if failed you will slip and fall, leaving yourself at the mercy of the tumbling and turning floors to eventually(50 Lines) push you back to where you began. But if they do succeed they will find a switch on the other side that will allow them to simply turn the trap off. However you can make an Normal Disguise Awareness Check vs 350 to see if there is any trick to overcoming this obstacle in a simpler fashion. If successful, the player will notice that amongst the moving panels 2 have the kanji of at least 1 of the 12 hand seals written upon them, leading them to conclude that if a person could make it to that specific panel and preform the handseal they could possible stop the trap. To make it to the first panel it will take 50 lines and a check of Agility vs 200, if successful they will have one chance to shut off the panel by preforming the handseal and focusing their chakra into the panel, which will be a check of Seal Spd vs 300. If successful the first half of panels will stop moving instantly, however if they fail either of the two checks they will end up being tumbled back to the beginning. To get to the second panel they must repeat this process, but if they fail they will have to restart this entire step. ---Step 3--- After 50 more lines of navigating through the tunnel you and your group will find yourselves at a dead end. After a few moments the same voice from the beginning of the tunnel will speak up, "Congratulations on making it this far... but your trail is not over. I am sure you have not forgotten what was written on the scroll given to you back at the first exam." The words were left to loom in the air for the contestants to take in. After another moment the solid wall that blocked their way shook and rumbled before cracking open slightly to reveal a soft, white light. "Beyond this wall lays the vials that will either damn you to death or carry you back to good health. There is no trick to these vials in any sense, they are all placed on the shelf of what they are meant to do... The task here, however, is to decide amongst the lot of you one person who will enter this room and retrieve these vials. You must place your lives into one of the hands of your team mates and trust that they will reward your trust... Can you do that?" Once the player is chosen, the wall will continue to open up just enough for that one person to enter before closing right after them. Within they will be faced with two shelves of multiple, unmarked vials. One shelf will be marked to carry poisoned vials while the other will be marked to carry vials with the antidote. Once the player has chosen who will receive what they will be allowed to return to their peers and the wall will close behind them. At that moment the voice will speak up again, "This is your final part of this test. Do you truly trust the person you have chosen? In their hands they carry the antidote... or a poison. There can be nothing done to make them prove which is what. You will either have to trust them or not. If you drink the poison you will more then likely die, if decide to not take the vial at all you will still be healed by a proctor... IF the vial was actually poison. Make your choices wisely, I wish you all luck." Quote: Once you have decided on the player that you will send into the room please do as follows: 1) Each Player must post in an OOC Box the name of the player they RPically choose (Majority rules in this situation) 2) The chosen player must PM me which Player they are giving what vial to RPically. (You don't have to tell them what vial you are giving them.) 3) Each reciprocate must post in an OOC Box if they drink the vial or not. Notes/Tips
-Each Scroll was custom tailored and RPically are written from the proctors.
-You are not to share what's in your scroll RPically or OOC wise at all.
-Getting to the end of the tunnel isn't enough, you must complete your task.
-Killing Invaders is always a bonus, but killing an ally is a no no... But leaving any invaders alive is the worst!
-Same rules apply from the first exam(Except the use of buffs). It is flat out not allowed to reveal info from your scroll
Secret Revealed!
-If you have multiple people over the hole, you may use each other to help others to get across as well. The check is made by the fastest player, and if that person doesn't they are considered not to help and goes on to whoever else is left.
Agi(Of the fastest player) + Str(Of the fastest player) + (1/2)Str)Of each helping character) vs Weight
.... However if you fail the check, all of you will fall at once and will take the Damage Penalty due to the amount of people falling. This stacks upon whatever damage they were going to take.
-If you have successfully shut down the first half of the panels down, you may try to run across in the same fashion as before you shut down the first half of the panels. However the check will now be cut in half for a vs of 375 instead of 750.

Before much could be done to gain another team-mate the PA system boomed on and stated on how the first exams were over. Mentally, Hayato was now kicking himself in the a** for not getting a move on things sooner like he'd stated only moments ago. Within the PA announcements though, some information about the second exam was spoken. So the Allies verse Invaders was still going on into the second exam. He sighed slightly as he was not this what so ever and was now becoming annoying. He again placed it into the back of his mind as he was going to try and make sure that he passed this exam. He looked over to Aya and nodded to her letting her know that is was alright and time to get going. A proctor was then suddenly beside him without him knowing. This was a little un-nerving but at the same time should be expected seeing as all of the Proctors were of Jonin rank or better. The proctor handed him a scroll and that was where the attention to the proctor ended for Hayato. He looked over the scroll in which his name was written on and figured it was going to be similar to the first scroll. Hayato He stated in his normal tone as he held the rolled paper. It clicked and opened for him. Hayato looked at the scroll and quickly read it and began to ponder on what it stated. He closed his eyes picturing his options and sighed. These exams in a whole were starting to become a little taxing mentally. He raised his hands and rubbed his forehead and nodded. There wasn't much he could do now, let alone he was now being instructed to hand the scroll back and follow the proctor. He did as the person asked and followed behind the proctor, and infront of Aya, out of the building. Apon exiting the hut, they were surrounded by forestry, all thick, lush and green yet dark. He continued to follow the proctor, and follow for a while until very deep in the forest. Once at his desination, the proctor pointed to two other shinobi in front of a very vibrant silver well. He looked at the well and started to walk over to them. As he walked, the two shinobi were wanting them to get closer together. He nodded but continued onwards a little slower so that he could get closer to whom was behind him. Once at the well, One proctor pointed down the well, making Hayato look into the well. He saw a ladder leading down to the inside of the well. He nodded quietly again and started to head down, and once all the way down he waited for the rest of his team.

Aya looked around as the first exam ended, her and Hayato hadn't been able to find a third and by how the flow of things were going it looked like it didn't matter for the next step of the exam, but it would be interesting to see how things went now, she assumed that the next part was going to be focused at team work which meant they were at a disadvantage or a advantage from how you looked at it, but ether way things were going to be fun at least for Aya, she was beginning to feel a little more at ease then how she was in the main part of the exam so far, taking a few deep breaths as she wonders about what is next for this exam, then notice due to Hayato's jolt the proctor next them them, that handed her a scroll, much like the last one which she opens. Aya nods a little as she reads the inside of the scroll, she thinks a little before she followed after Hayato, and nods a little more as she hold the scroll in her hand as the two of them, walk out of the large hut the were in, and into the forest path that lead out of it, following after Hayato and the proctor that he was following, as she followed them she would look around them, they didn't seem to be anything of great interest, but is was a little quiet in the forest, which was unnerving to her, an she began to hum a light tune as she walked, the lack of noise was off putting but it wasn't a very long walk to the two other proctors, and the Well that sat between them, Aya watch as Hayato gave his scroll to one of the proctor, Aya followed suit and gave her scroll to the same proctor, then looked around Hayato as the other show them down the well, and Hayato entered it. Aya slowly went down the ladder that lead down the well, Hayato hit the ground first followed by Aya who smiled a little and hopped off the ladder and looked up as the voice appeared, to see that path had been blocked just like the voice had said, then looked at Hayato as the voice went on to explain how this exam was meant to go, it seem like a normal reach the of this path to reach your goal, in this case safety. "Hey Hayato ether way we need to reach the end of this cave, so lets get moving, also isn't it good we learnt that jutsu that makes chakra glow from Shizuka before coming here, so we should be fine light wise". Aya said with a smiled as she collected a ball of chakra in her hand, and it began to glow a gentle white colour and lighted up the bottom of the well, looking around they were able to find the tunnel that lead deeper into the well, Aya looked at it funny then at Hayato. "Hayato I am going to activate my Byakugan, and scan ahead of the cave, with it, you stay behind me, as we walk into the cave, and keep the light going you just need to feed it chakra". Aya said as she move the little ball of chakra she had made to him, as she focused a little more chakra and activated her eyes, its range was better then the little light, and would allow her to see a little better then with her normal vision. Aya took the lead and put her hand on the cave wall as she walked ahead of Hayato scanning the area with her eyes, she wasn't really able to look everywhere but she tried her best, as they continued along the cave, Aya was noticing the that the cave was getting much smaller, but still movable, she then notice with her Byakugan that the cave was going to open up ahead, but she was a little unsure on it, this was part of the test so she knew it wasn't going to be easy, it seemed to open out a lot, and seemed a little unnatural, so she made some of her bugs form into a ball and toss it into the opening before heading into it. "Hayato it looked to be a opening up a head, I am going to try scanning it before hand, but it should be fine". Aya said before she throw the ball of bugs into the next camber of the cave, she was using the bugs to scan for her, and also using the chakra she had feed to the bug to give her a better view of the cave with her eyes. Check Int(x2) ~ 200 x 2 = 400 + Jutsu used ~ Byakugan = 0 Doesn't count.+ Clan Buff ~ Byakugan = 100 / Tracking Bugs = 50 + 50/50 ~ 500 - Pitfall Trap ~ 500 = 585 | 58.5 | 58% On a 58 or lower Aya will see the Pitfall, if not, she will fall into the Pitfall 71 - 58 = 13 Aya falls into the hole, but doesn't hurt herself

Aya searched the cave with her bugs and her Byakugan for a few moments before heading into the cave, she lead the way, a little a head of Hayato, a good three to four feet, once into the cavner and walked forward, she then felt the ground give in under her feet and let out a loud very girly scream as she fall into the pitfall, once on the ground she felt a little sad about falling into the trap, and called back to Hayato. "Ok there is a really big hole in the middle of the cave, make sure to watch out for that, it is a bit harder to miss now I have fallen into it, but still a little dangerous". Aya said as she regained herself and dusted off her clothing as she got up to look around her, in the confusion of falling she had turned off her Byakugan, she activated it again as she looked at around the hole, she then got up going a little slow in case she had hurt herself in the fall. As she stood again she signed and looked around at how she could have missed the hole, it seemed to the full width of the cave a could of feet deep, nothing that would kill a person but, it could really hurt if not careful, she had been lucking, she put her hand on the wall and notice it was smooth on all side aside from the wall closest to Hayato, so climbing in the hole then walking to the other side seemed to be out, looked like it would be faster to jump it. As she stood in the hole for a little longer she wonder how she had missed it, then she guessed as to why, she had been focusing on her bugs to much, the chakra that coated them had made it easy to see the carven, the bug weren't heavy enough to set off the trap, but the she had been. Aya took a little more time and moved her hand around the cave walls to get a idea of what they were made of, it seemed to be stone and dirt, but it was very smooth for some reason, on all but one side much to smooth to get any grips on it, and it also seemed to be a little wet making it a little harder to climb up if a person was going to try it. "Ok looks like it isn't possible to make it across the pitfall by climbing into it and walking to the other side, then climbing out so we are going to have to try jumping over it and onto the other side, it shouldn't be to hard, but that fall can be a dangerous, not kill you but, falling in there hurt a lot, and it you mess out really bad twisting you ankle is possible without a doubt". Aya said as she moved back to try and jump over the hole first, she had said it wasn't going to be very tough but the hole looking at it with the light, it was about four to may six feet in length and cover the entire button of the floor, as she prepared herself to make she jump she tried to think of another way to get across, she looked at the walls and the ceiling of the cave, and it dawned on her they were in a cave, why not just walked over the roof of along to walls to the other side, or try using chakra on her hand and feet to cling to the wall and then climb over, it didn't seem like it wouldn't work, it was just a cave with some traps right. "Ok Hayato I am going to try climbing on the other walls and see it if is possible to just climb over the hole". Aya said as she walled over to one of the walls, and placed her hands on the wall, with a small amount of chakra in them to cling to the wall, as she grabbed it tightly, and pulled herself up she felt it slip and notice that this wasn't working in anyway, and make it clear jumping over the hole was the only real option, but she didn't understand way she wasn't able to cling to the wall. "Looks like climbing around it isn't possible so we are going to have to try and jump over the hole, I'll go first, because I can see a little better, if I make it to the other side side I'll light it up a little so you can have something to aim for ok, but the hole as you can kind of see is only four, maybe five, six feet at the most in length". Aya said as moved back a little so she could get a small running start before hitting the hole, taking a small amount of time to prepare herself for if she failed and fell into the hole again, she looked around the cave again to see if she would be able to make the jump without smashing her head into the ceiling if she did jump into the air, the cavern was large enough thankfully and it seemed to be man made, which wasn't much of a surprise by this point. Aya braced herself a little more as she got herself ready to try and jump over the hole, it was going to be a little bit of a mission to jump it, she had never really seen how far she could jump sense she was a little a girl, and playing with some of the other kids back in school, or those school athlete festival or meets or whatever they were called, when she would normally join random events just to try them, she had been in the long jump one year, she didn't place when she had been in that event, but she knew to get distance on a jump she needed to be fast, and while Hayato was still faster then her, she wasn't sure if he had taken her advice and learn that basic Taijutsu the side step that increased the users speed slightly, in this case it would allow Aya to get a little more room before making her jump, which may just give her the distance she needed, but she knew that if she fell again she was more then lightly going to hurt herself, and if not she would have to climb out of the hole and prep herself to jump over the hole again. "Ok Hayato here I go, let hope I only have to do this once, and if I should fail, lets hope I don't hurt myself, because then I'll be slowing you down and making this much harder". Aya said before she back up a little more, and bent her body so she was in the running start pose, and pushed off with her back foot, and made a spin like motion as she Side step slightly for gain a little more speed, she was able to hit top seed, but as she ran out of room to run, she throw her weight forward and leapt across the hole to the best of her skill. Check Str ~ 75 + Agi ~ 70 + 50/50 ~ 500 - Pitfall Trap ~ 250 = 395 | 39 | 39% On a 39 or lower Aya will make the jump 17 - 39 = -22 Aya make it to the other side of the hole with a little wiggle room Mod - [ That perk is for Dodges. This is a Flat Save. ]

Aya was the next to make it down to the bottom of the well, but there was no-one else comming. This was to be expected since they didn't get another shinobi on their team. He sighed lightly then could hear the PA again, it was a trap and they had to make it through this tunnel. He closed his eyes for a moment and nodded. He looked over to Aya as she spoke and nodded. He really didn't remember at that moment about any Jutsu in which just made light, but he thought about it for a second and remebered something. He held out his hand and focused a little, then light was made. It was very faint but it'd have to do, and to be quiet honest it didn't help nearly s***. He followed Aya while she lead the way with her bloodline ability. He continued to think about what the scroll had stated, it was starting to fluster him just a little. He continued to follow Aya though not sure what to expect. He heard her speak about an opening in this narrowing tunnel. He looked around but wasn't able to able so see anything just yet. Quote: Normal Disguise Awareness vs 500 Int(x2) vs 500 80(x2) + 50(No-Clan Bonus) +20(Ookami Hoshitsu) +105(Calm Mind, Calm Spirit) +50 (Perk) Vs 500 385 vs 500 = -115 = -11% = 39% ((hopefully did this right))

While walking it finally tuned in on what Aya had just stated. As fast as he could, he looked down and realized he was only half a step from falling into a rather large pit in which there could have been a large accident. He breathed a sigh of relief and took a few steps back. It was a really large pit in which was not only deep, but long. He took a look at this pit trying to figure out a way across this pit. There was no ledge, and the very little light that the ball he made showed that there was no gripping area on the other side of the pit was way too smooth to climb. Just what they needed, a pit in which the wrong move could end or hinder a shinobi's exam's time. He sighed again and looked over to Aya who was just finishing her climb out of the pit. She was speaking about the pit, and seemed to know since she was just in it. She had pretty much stated what he had thought though, which was fine. At least they were on the same page. He continued to listen into what she was saying and also what she was doing. There really wasn't much new but he knew that at least it was verifying everything he thought a second ago. She figured that they'd need to jump it since there was nothing to suggest any other form of getting across. This was going to make it rough but he'd give it a shot. It was then when Aya stated that she'd give it a try first since she could see better then he could. He wasn't going to dis-agree so he moved over to the edge and waited to see how she would fair. After a shocking event though, he watched as Aya made it across. He looked over at her and nodded. He knew that the jump wasn't going to be easy so he backed up as much as he could, then took a full force run at it and jumped as hard as he could. Quote: Strength + Agility vs 250 35 + 125 vs 250 160 vs 250 = -90 = -9% = 41% chance making it ((Again hoping that I did it right)) ((Will make my reaction post later... sleep time XD))

Past eventsDrake had watched Takera talk to the group he was with, then an announcment had gone through that everyone will be put into groups and sent out to out-lying areas, were each group is to enter and make there way through. Drake had followed his proctor to the place he was to meet his team. But, before they could arive, drake decided to just move ahead, maybe to scout out the area. He descended into a well, which ended up being a cave. Drake had moved onward without hesitation, but only to end up lost. Now he is searching for his team mates, if there already in, and making his way through the maze like cave system. ------- Drake was exhausted. It had only been awhile since he entered the caves, but now he was totaly lost. 'Your a complete imbecile' Harbinger said to him. Ever since he got lost, Harbinger was constantly nagging him, berating him on his stupidity. Drake was getting a bit tired of it, but couldn't really do anything about. Come on, what are you gonna do to a voice in your head? Drake held his hand against the rock wall next to him, as it was too dark for him to see, he used the wall as a way to make sure he held himself up so he didn't fall flat on his face. As he moved deeper and deeper, he thought he could here a voice ahead. He had a feeling it was the rest of his team, but he had no idea who they were as he didn't meet them from before. So he kept moving, and hoped he wasn't too far from them. As Drake made his way, he thought he heard comotion going on ahead. He couldn't see well, but he thought he noticed someone jumping ahead. 'What the-? Why is he jumping? Must be my eyes just playing tricks on me.'. As Drake moved ahead, he felt as if he was going to get an awnser as to why that guy jumped.

As Drake took another step further, he felt air start to rush past him, and he instantly knew why that guy jumped; There was a giant hole in the middle of the cave. Before Drake could react, he felt himself reach out to the ledge with his hand, faster than he could ever react, and caught the ledge. Nowe he was hangin there on one hand, holding himself up. The strange part was that he felt no exertion to doing this. Then, he realised he had no control over himself, and he felt like he was watching this all through someone elses eyes. that's when he felt Harbinger's presence. And not just that. A sinister power was flowing through him, coursing through his veins. It felt like his blood was on fire, but it was a good pain, one filled with euphoria. Drake then felt the power flow to his right eye, and the Eye activated, but it felt different. No longer did it feel like his own power, but that of Harbinger. He also noticed a sickly orange glow start to come from the Eye, as whereever his eye moved, an orange light ran across the pit's wall. He then felt himself lifting himself up, pulling himself over the edge so he would be laying on his stomach, legs hanging off the edge as he used his arms to move forward, away from the hole. Once he felt his feets get pass the threshold, Harbinger realesed control, and drake felt a rush of exhaustion hit him. He never felt so tired before, but, before he could let out a breath, the same power from before coursed back, rejuvinationg his limbs and body, washing away the exhaustion he felt a moment ago. 'Watch were your walking next time. Now, stand up and make yourself known to those two across the pit. You don't want them leaving without you.'. Drake made himself stand up, and turn back toward the pit. As he did so, he felt the power end, and there was no pain in his limbs. Drake let out a breath, and looked down the pit, only to see darkness. He had a feeling there was a bottom, but wasn't willing to find out. As he looked around, he saw the pit was large enough that one was to jump it in order to get across. Drake looked up and saw two people on the other side, one female, the other male. They were too far away for him to see what they looked like, so he was just going to have to talk to the from here. He knew he was going to have to jump, but maybe they might be able to catch him. Drake then called out to them. "Hey!", he said to them, "Im gonna take a guess and assume your part of my group. Before I jump this oversized hole, can you tell me your names? Mines Drake.". As Drake stood there, he waited for a response.

The jump didn't last long, but he ended up landing on the edge of the pit and with all of the forward momentum he had, he ended up rolling forward and almost bumping into Aya knocking both of them down. It wouldn't have been into the bit, but it still would have been both embarrassing and possibly painful. Ether way though they'd both made it across which he was glad about. It seemed that this first trap wasn't too hard but still hard enough to pose the question of what could be next. Just before Hayato was going to move on he heard something. Like something had fallen, but he thought that there was only them in the tunnel. He turned around to look but didn't see anything, so he turned around to head off. Again though there was a noise in which he just couldn't ignore. This time he knew that he heard something due to the fact that he could clearly hear the voice this time. He turned around to see a figure on the other side of the pit. It looked human shaped, and it had stated that its name was Drake. He stood quite only for a second and then looked over to Aya. "Looks like we're not alone Aya, seems that we've been paired with someone for this exam." He then looked over to the figure in which seemed not to have moved. He wasn't sure he should trust the figure but since the whole objective of the last exam was to get into a three person team it seemed logical that he was another Genin. He moved closer to the edge of the pit on their side and looked over to the new addition. "Your assumption is probably correct as that is what guessing... Name is Hayato and my partner is Aya, I've got a few questions once you get over here since I don't feel like yelling across this pit any more" He shouted to Drake since his voice didn't like to carry well to begin with.

Aya made the jump across the hole, she even had a small amount of wiggle room once she had got to the other side, jumping something in the dark wasn't only scary it was full of risks one never really thought about when that normally jumped around, not being about to see what you were going to land on was horrible, you weren't able to move you leg very much meaning you could easier mess the landing. Something that happened from time to time normally but it was much more apparent when there was no light involved, Aya had messed it up a little but not enough to injure herself, she got up and looked back to where she thought Hayato only to notice he wasn't there, then notice he was in mid air with her Byakugan and moved back a little bit so as not have him fall on her, if she was in the way of his landing, once he was on the other side she smiled a little. Now on the other side of the hole it was only whatever lay ahead that they need to worry about, now they were here, Aya had fully recovered, and taken some time to rest up a little so as to resort the chakra she had lost using her Byakugan, and the strain she had put on her eyes and legs from just before. As she stood and looked around the area for one lasts swap before they moved on, she notice something enter her field, as she moved to follow it, it was much larger and about the size of a person, she looked back of the to the other side where Hayato and Aya had just come form only to hear a loud sound, she knew the sound, it was the same one she had made when she fell in the hole, only this time much louder, because whoever it was heavier then the small Aya, meaning someone else was in the cave with her and Hayato, Aya looked to the noise. After a moment a voice come out of the hole, it was someone else who was now in the same situation, Aya spine jumped a little as she felt something weird as if she was light headed for a moment then looked at Hayato as she rest herself on his shoulder for a moment, as she regains herself a little and looked at the pit, as she makes set of small balls on the other side of the hole so show were the edge was, this would help out a little. Aya smiled a little as the person now in the hole spoke up, Aya has been a little scared when she first heard the voice from the darkness, but now as it spoke back she wasn't so scared, she could hear that the other person was male, and as he spoke up asking them for they names and giving his, she reply almost right away. "Hi there Drake nice to meet yo, I am Aya Hyuuga, nice to meet you, I'll put some light orbs up so it is easier to see this side of the hole". Aya said happily in a cheerful and up beat tone to her voice, and her word seemed to be very innocent as she spoke, Aya smiled, as she slowly formed a few sets of small glowing ball on the other side of the hole, near the edge of the hole, they glowed showing up the edge and Aya and Hayato a little. Aya was glad to some degree that they had a third person it maybe needed for the mission to be a success, but this also meant she was going to have to meet this new person, and they would need to get to where Aya and Hayato was before hand, also she wasn't sure how long this exam was going to last, what if she failed again, what is because of her Hayato and this new person, Drake failed, Aya mind began to run off with itself, before she just stopped thinking for a moment, and just stared at the darkness. After a few moments she looked forward it was still dark even with her orbs in place to give off some light in the cave, she looked at Hayato, and a wicked smiled cover her face for a moment. "You stay here and try to catch Drake if he doesn't make his jump, your much faster then me, I'm going to scout a head, Drake, once you get out of the hole, jump over here, I am going to scout a head, I'll leave a trail for you two to follow". Her voice had change by a lot between before and now, to Hayato who knew about Mayu would also notice the change, it clearly wasn't Aya who was overly cheerful and a little shy with new people, an unsure when she told someone to do something, an Mayu was also out, Mayu was more of less normal, a little cheerful as of late but that seemed to be more getting out of the village, this new voice, was cold, and harsh, it didn't sound like Aya who was unsure when ever she spoke up on what she was going to do, or Mayu who liked to get others input on what she was doing, this person was new an seemed to be more informing them on what she was about to do, rather then asking them. Once she finished speaking she wonder off into the cave leaving a small ball of light ever few meters for Hayato and Drake once they were able to catch up. With that the being from within Aya made her way into the cave, getting a little pissed off by the uneven ground that she had to walk over to reach whatever lay a head, ever twevle of fourteen step she formed a little ball of chakra for Hayato and Drake so they could find her, she had decide to not go more then a few hundred meter from the other just in case she ran into something and that needed them to help her out with something, about about ten minutes of walked she could head the sound of something moving, as she got a little closed to them she could make it out it was the sound of gears spinning with one another, she then found another larger cavern, as she scanned the cavern she notice that if a person didn't have some sort of jutsu that let them see in the dark they would be unable to do this part of the exam at all, she decided to scan the room a little more to see if they were any traps, 'It would suck to fall into another hole', she though as she wonder around the cavern and the trap that cover the floor of the cave, this time it seemed the cave floor was now a serials of panels and shifting components that moved. Quote: Int(x2) ~ 200 x 2 = 400 + Clan Buff ~ Byakugan = 100 / Tracking Bugs = 50 + 50/50 ~ 500 - Panel Secrets ~ 350 = 700 | 70 | 70% On a 70 or lower an she will see the Panel Secrets Yep wouldn't you know it I would get a 80 Scanning the Area with her Byakugan she slowly, worked her way around the the panels that made up the traps of this area of the cave, she signed a little as she finished her quick scan for anything that looked out of place, she signed and huffed as she found, and saw that this run was going to be a a** to do, she thought for a little bit about what to do next, if she made a run for it across the panels she may not be able to make it back, but it looked like it was designed to seen the person back to this side if they fail, also she had been able to make out a switch on the other side of the cavern, which she was guessing would turn off the trap, it seemed pointless to put in one that didn't turn off the trap or did nothing, and lights seemed out of the question. With this in mind she looked along the panel, for the best way to the end, she was about to find multiple path that reached the other side, but the shifting, shaking, and general movements of the panel, made it damn near impossible for her to see a clear path she wonder if just running for it would work.

As Aya and Hayato announced who they were, Drake was starting to think of how he was going to get out of this situation. He couldn't see very well, but soon the girl called Aya created orbs of light to help see the pit they were all standing next to. Drake saw that there was no way of just holding the edge and shimming his way around. Drake knew that the only way he was going to get across was to jump across. Unfortunately, he felt as if he wasn't going to be able to make it, as he wasn't really an athletic person. He never trained his body in academy, but his mind, as he felt that was the most important muscle to train. Now it seems karma is back and it wants payment. Drake calculated out his chances, and it seems to be very small. Drake looked back to the two across from him, and then he heard Aya tell him that she was going to scout ahead, and that Hayato was going to stay behind, to help him if he failed to make it across and attempt to catch him. Drake didn't like the idea of failing this, but he was going to have to try if he wanted to continue on with his team. Drake felt it might have been better if they both stayed to behind to help, so that she could help drag him on the otherside if he were to spalt against the other pit wall. As Drake looked back from the pit to the side Hayato stood, then back again. Drake suddendly had this feeling that he hated heights. Before he made a choice to try jumping now or not, he had to ask something first to Harbinger first. 'How exactly did you take control of me? I thought you could only talk to me'. 'An idea born of ignorance. Do not think yourself the first I have spoken to and lend my power. Your power is simply a piece of my kind. Remember though, that this will have consequences. As Drake stood where he was standing, stunned by what Harbinger had told him, he suddenly felt a terrible pain shake through his right hand. When he looked at it, he noticed that spots of skin were a grayish color, and when he touched them, it felt cool to the touch. 'Metal. Bits of my skin has turned to a metal'. Drake felt a terrible fear go through him, but then shook his head and sent those feeling to the deepest parts of his mind. Right now, he can't be full of fear, or he'll screw this up. As Drake took in some deep breaths, he looked back toward Hayato, then took a couple steps back, then began a free run toward the pit, jumping as soon as he felt his foot touch the very edge of the pit. As he did so, Drake reached his hand forward, just in case he would need Hayato to catch him.

As Drake flew by the pit, he knew he was going to make it, as he looked down and saw that he still had some good air as he passed the middle of the pit and was just about to land on the other side. Right as he felt gravity takes its course and his foot touched the ground, he through his body of gravity forward into a roll, so that he could get pass the gull weight of landing straight on his feet. As he rolled once, he then forced his self upwards, landing on his feet just a few meters from Hayato. Taking a quick breath, Drake turned back toward Hayato, saying "Okay. Now that we got passed that, let's catch up to Aya and see how far she's scouted ahead." Then with that, he started to walk forward to go find Aya. As they moved on, Drake thought he heard the sounds of gears, but thought it was just his imagination.

After looked at it, she decide to just run it, even if she failed it only mean she would be slowed down, by now Drake should have made his way across the hole from the first part, or be doing it again, and if not Hayato was there to help him, she bend a little and got ready to begin to run into that panels. She pressed into the ground hard as she braced her muscle to make the run, she didn't really think she would be able to make it very far, but this was going to try and make it right now, if she failed she would just see if there was any thing new she could see for the panels. Quote: Agi(x2) ~ 70 x 2 = 140 Agi-Buff(x2) ~ 50 x 2 = 100 + 50/50 ~ 500 - Panel Secrets ~ 750 = -10 | -1 | 1% On a 1 she will make the Panel Run Yeah I failed With a deep breath she pushed her foot into the ground a little more as she gets set to run into the trap, she then pushes off at her top speed, she hold herself up and manages to make it a few feet into the trap, she first jumped the first few panels, then followed up with a bounce as she manage to take her footing again, and side step to the side of a panel that was about to move, as she got on the panel it sweapped out from under her, tripping her and causing her to fall backwards she landed flat on her back, she looked up into the darkness above her as the panels beneath her shift and move her all the way back to the beginning, she signed as she looked to the darkness, she was a little pissed of how she had fallen so easily. The panels were much slowly then if she had been able to walk back, but due to the moving and shifting of the panels she wasn't able to stand up now she was down, if she tried to get up at the moment she would be totally hurt. After a while of laying on the panels she began to notice that they felt a little like a massage as they moved her slowly back to the edge of the trap, where she had began from it was so painful to her, having to wait for such a long time before she would be able to try again, seeing as she seemed to have some time, she began to think on the past, and the last time she had been aware for herself, it was long ago now, she was sitting in the dark corner of the cell she was in, she was holding her legs to her chest and looking at the door of her cell, she had just come back form a mental strain test, she had been forced into a genjutsu where her nerve system was tricked into think it was being ripped apart, it didn't last more then a second but the pained caused by it, had been enough to knocked out, Aya as she came to be known, and Mayu as she called herself, from outside the cell she could hear voices talking to one another, she couldn't make out what they were saying, but she held herself as she felt the pain still remain in her nerves, it was slowly fading as she drifted off, then awoken as the door open and a woman entered the room, the woman looked to the girl in the corner, and smiled a little as she held out her hand. "Subject four, it been long enough sense your test now, you can go out and play in the play room, also there is a snack ready for you". She looked at the moment and got up, and took the women's hands, this women was nice, and seemed to be the person in change of taking care of a few of the children including Subject four, she would turn up to take her for 'snack time' or 'play time' as they called it, and was her main form of support in this place, but something seemed off about her today, the girl looked up at the woman, her had a hanky to her month as she walked with the little girl, as the women pulled it away, the girl notice it was now a little red. Holding the woman's hand she held it tightly as she moved a little closer, they walked into a large room with toys and books in it, it looked a lot like a kindergarten play room, the woman with her smiled a little an held the little girls hand tightly, as she sat with her at one of the tables in the room, it was empty at the moment, which was a little weird but the girl didn't question it and looked at the woman. As she sat the girl down and then went and go a meal from the other side of the room for the girl, she also brought over her own lunch, she happily ate the food as the woman had her lunch, she then pets the girls head lightly, and kissed her forehead. Subject Four, this is going to be our last time together ok, most of the others have already left, and you can't come, but in at most a few days they are going to be some new people that come here, and they should take you to a new place". The woman said as she gave the girl a hug, the girl didn't really follow what the woman was saying but looked at her in wonder. "I am glad your the one I got to spend my last bit of time with you, your the one that always does the difficult tests for the other two right, so I am going to give you something, Seika, that's your name, I know the other two, are out more often, but your the one that is protecting them, so I am giving you the name Seika, rather then Subject four, at some point the others will get names, but you are the first one to have a name, Seika". The woman said with a smile, but she had tears running along the side of her face, as she held the girl in a hug, Seika as she was being call put her hand up and wiped the woman's check, the woman smiled and hugged Seika tightly, the woman had been with Subject Four for a long time an had been the one to notice the difference between Aya, Mayu and Seika, she had now done what she had been told not to do, and name one of the subjects and gotten emotional attached to them, it was killing the woman a little to now leave the little girl alone, but she had no choice, unlike most of the other stuff, she wasn't leaving, she had wanted to take all the children, the others who she had work with were leaving behind the one that they couldn't move or were useless, an was going to destroy them with the lab, the woman herself had come back and disable the devices the were going destroy the place, but in doing so she had doomed herself and she was slowly dying now, she slipped off the red jew neckless around her neck, it looked to be a small red jew fang, mounted in a gold chain and put it around Seika's. "This is a gift to all of you ok, Seika, it for the three of you, so you have something to remember me by, now once your done eating, lets pick some toys and then head back to your room". The woman said as she looked a little worst them before, she played with Seika and then took her back to her room, and even put her in bed, and tucked her in as she left, the woman hadn't been able to disable all the trap so she had made sure all the children left behind, were in a safe place and gave them something, Seika had been the last one she was with, and the one she spend the most time with. Seika look up a small tear on her face, as she was now back at the beginning, Seika sat up as she notice Hayato and Drake were near by, soon they would be together and able to move forward, but Seika had learnt it was going to be near impossible to reach the other side of the panels, with they ability, she decide to scan the trap again thinking they must be some other way, an she would need to look over it again and again until she found a way across. || Lines - 356 ||

As Hayato looked across the pit over to drake wondering just if he was going to beable to make the jump. He knew it wasn't easy, but also not impossible since both Aya and himself were able to make it without gravely injuring themselves. As he thought of an idea he was coming up with, Aya had started to speak except it wasn't Aya. Mayu had taken over and with her plan, he could agree so he got ready just in case Drake was a little short. He could hear her run off as Drake prepared for his jump. He knew that he was faster then her, but not by that much yet. Her footsteps had faded to nothing as he continued to look at the figure of Drake. He watched it jump and slowly come into focus and once he made it over to the side with Hayato on his, he had to move since he'd done a forward roll just like Hayato did in order to save his ankles from the pain of landing straight on his feet. Once he stood up after the roll, He seemed to look quiet ordinary with the only exception of his eye which were red. He didn't pay too much attention to it though as Drake almost instantly stated that they should go see how far Mayu had gotten. He nodded and quickly took off in a sprint. He wasn't sure if Drake would be able to keep up, but if he was as fast as Mayu, then he wouldn't fall too far behind. He knew that he wouldn't get lost though since she'd left a trail of light for them to follow. It didn't take long at all to catch up to her, but she'd already started to make her run again. It was this point where he could hear gears and all of that moving. It was then he realized that the floor was shifting all on its own. He looked over the panels carefully not exactly sure what the full point of this was, but he was going to look for traps or what ever else would be of use.

She wondered if she would even be able to be out again any time in the next year, it had been years sense she had been in control, and unlike Aya and Mayu who were able to speak with one another from time to time, Seika wasn't able to do that, but those questions would have to be answered with time that is still to come, as she finished to first quarter of the panel trap she signed heavily as she wasn't able to find anything out of the normal. || Lines - 382 ||
