  ◆◈◆◈◆"My sands will be your end"◆◈◆◈◆
San felt a negative pulse come from Lucas as he had howaido got up to go check out the pedastle. Hitting his end, the Satetsu spoke in a much more angry and violent tone then what any of the gennin had ever heard from him before.
"HEY! Quit being emo and come over here and help us. God damn what is with you gennin these days? Is it the exams? is it your lack of knowledge? What are you letting control your emotions like that! Do you wanna know how Howaido, Sarus and i got promoted? We did what was asked of us instead of bitching and complaining about how others treated us. Because eventually you will have gained enough skill and rep by other shinobi to be worth your weight on a team! So how about this: Get the ******** over here and be of some use instead of bitching about HOW YOUR NOT OF USE CAUSE OF SOME STUPID ******** RANK!"
San let his sentence linger for a moment as he allowed himself to cool down after his rant. Did they think that ranks was all that mattered? Maybe he would have to tell them the story of the first gennin team the Satetsu was on: 4 gennin held the gates of Suna against the very person they where now trying to save. Gennin versus the ANBU captain: not even a close comparrasion to a fair fight. Yet the gennin banded together, worked with each others strengths and weaknesses and overcame a great challenge. It wasn't the right skillset that allowed them victory, it was the right mindset. And to San this was the most important thing to a ninja, and it seemed as if this gennin lacked it. Until that time when he obtained it and learned it, he would never progress, because if San could see it so could Kazekage Mam.
Now on his feet, the satetsu grabbed the items and walked his way over to pedastle, and hovered the three "keys" over it trying to see if it fit. He spoke outloud to anyone as he ran his hands through the pedastle, trying to figure out if it would work or not.
"Does it look like it fits?"

"Maybe put the busted ball bearing upside down and put the vial in the pedestal inside the ball bearing." He pointed at the pedestal where the rings should go and at the indentation in the slot taken for the ball bearings place. "It could go like that, right?" He continued to look at it as he walked around,"Or maybe not... maybe only one item is the key and all the other slots do nothing or lead to a trap. Or maybe we must combine the items some way to create a single key that fits in the seemingly three holes. The variable possibilities are endless, what do you think?"

San spoke quickly, thinking his hands had found where everything fit. His logic was precise, but yet again this whole mission was somewhat illogical.
"Nah,. i think all three are the key. We all went through hell to obtain them, and a single person couldnt have done it at all. All i know is the longer we are taking here, the worse are chances of finding siniku are. Lets get this done and get him back. Is there a slide for the tube to go in? i think we insert the vial into the pedastle, and the ball bearings and key rotate something....."

The pedestal stood there with its only indentation, a spherical one, at the top. The sides of the pedestal were smooth & without fluctuation, & melded into the floor at the bottom. It was necessary to use all three keys: the ball bearing, the split halves of the shell, & the vial's contents, all at once.

It Hit San like a freight train. The solution was simple...so so simple.
"Hey, lets put the ballbearing into the pedastle, then pour the vials contents into the shell and place it in the pedastle. Im pretty sure that will work!!!"

◆◈◆◈◆"Never doubt yourself"◆◈◆◈◆ Lucas had had it with the others way of talking to him. they thought they had more experience than him. they thought they knew more than him. he was tired of the s**t. san pushed his patience to the limit. "you ******** think you can talk to me like that? you ******** think you can guess i'm emo? guess the ******** what! you are wrong oh great a**! i'm not emo. i'm letting you figure it out because whenever i have mentioned something you guys ignored me. almost as if you passed it off as nothing. i do not see myself as below you or above you nore equal to you. i see myself as different than you and in a position you likely will not understand. so shut the ******** up and dont lecture me or get angry at me when you think i'm acting a certain way! i dont care about my rank! sure it would be nice to be able to be respected more by some of the people who do seem to think it is a mater of rank but i do not believe rank shows what i know as i know a lot. i'd venture to say almost as much as bast. mind i spent more time traveling than her... anyways. do not think i am upset and do not get angry at me or you will find i am more than the rank sais i am." he said going beat red and reaching to his dagger on his back quickly. he wasn't going to draw it but it was always something he went to when upset as the cold steel cooled his mind. "and as for not following orders i am only here because i followed silas. we were ordered to come here after the merchant village. this was his choice and i would not leave him alone. and now i'm stuck with you guys. do not think that i do not understand the situation. i do. i observe more than most do in less time than it would take Mamoru to make some tea. i follow the orders given to me from those i have respect for. and frankly i did have respect for you. sarus no... gan yes. howaido yes. you i was uncertain about but i see you are a lot like your brother sarus."

Gan sighed at the conversation. He got up, dusted off his hands, then flickered quickly, appearing once behind San, Lucas, and Howaido each, giving all of them a nice smack upside the head. Appearing before them, he frowned, crossing his arms. "I see before but a group of Gennin. Shame, on you all. What is one of THE number one reasons for a failed mission? infighting. Cover being broken? Infighting. FAILURE in exams, tests, or work? INFIGHTING!" Ganchou began pacing back and forth in front of them, his anger clear on his face. Unlike any anger they would have seen before, this was a cold, soul-chilling anger, and it was strong. "You ALL became one squad the moment you entered this mission. You look after each other, you support each other, and you do not leave anyone behind. You take everyone's suggestions, you listen and participate with each other, and you. do. not. fight. None of you knows yet the pain. Not one. Now, get over any differences, sort out any issues, and stop acting like Gennin, all." He pulled down his mask, and performed Kai. After waiting for any effects, he would take the three components, and in a swift motion, popped the ball bearing into one half of the shell, poured the liquid of the vial into the other, put them together making sure the liquid didn't spill, and popped it into the slot on the pedestal. "Brace yourselves..."

Lucas sobered at gan's words and pulled his flask out and gulped down more of the liquid.
"sorry gan."
he said and then he made sure he braced himself for any reaction... well... most reactions that the pedistal would have.

With the key in the pedestal, it sank into the ground with a great moaning. A hole then formed under the torch, widening until the edge almost touched the three poles supporting it. Far below into the man-sized tunnel, a throbbing sensation could be felt by those that still had the ability to feel. Darkness pervaded from it, as if there wasn't a light to be had.

With a blank face, feeling the motion and the heading the sound of movement, San was then overcome with the pulse of pervading darkness from inside the pit. It wouldnt matter to him, as he didnt have sight, but others may have an issue.
"Any one got a light? I guess we going in....."

Lucas looked at the hole that had appeared not far from where he was. he approached it causiously. and now pulled out his dagger. holding it in his left hand blade up and facing forward.
"who wants to go first? i wouldn't mind but if anyone thinks they would do better then they might as well go. oh and yes san. i do have a light. it wont last too long but it should work well enough."
he said with an obvious hint of verbal poison in his words directed at san.

"Shush" Gan murmured at them, staring at the hole. He sighed, then performed the Flare technique, shooting a brief flare into the hole. After it was illuminated, he studied it carefully before jumping down into the hole.

"watch out below gan!"
Lucas said following suit. once at the bottom he pulled out his flask and quickly ran through the potential of using the alcohol as a fuel for a torch. ultamately he decided against it and kept the flask in his hand.

San jumped down after ganchou, speaking a small sentence of sarcasm and poking fun.
"On that a** ganchou...."
