The Grand Arena
Starting the temple challenge, team six walked into their starting room confident looking around. Brittany, Rachel, Stephani, Vanessa and Nami were all pumped and ready to dominate this thing. They looked around as they entered the first room. Dead ahead was a large ornate looking hallway blocked off by a giant forcefield with a strange pedestal next to it. Stangely enough behind the forcefield down the hall were quite a few more forcefields and all kinds of various contraptions the girls couldn't make out. To the left and to the right there were two hallways, each turning towards the front of the room after only a short distance, it looked like they were identical hallways at this point. And lastly there was a smaller dark room in the back of the room that had the sound of rushing water coming from it. The girls looked to each other and nodded, splitting up to check out different parts of the place.
Brittany started walking to check out the left hallway while Rachel went to check the right one. As they did that Stephani went to check the back room. Leaving Vanessa and Nami, the two stepped up to the strange forcefield hallway and the pedestal. They pressed it and the thing lit up and began speaking to their surprise. "This is a challenge pedestal. To obtain whatever is past this pedestal you must complete in some sort of challenge and become victorious. If you fail, there are various consequences depending on the challenges as well as various rewards if you win. For this particular challenge pedestal, your reward will be moving through the forcefield infront of you. This challenge is different than most of the other however, in the fact that you cannot fail."
The two looked at each other that. "That sounds good." Nami said with a grin. Vanessa nodded to her with a light smile.
But it continued. "However, you must complete the challenge. This challenge is of several parts, and as you complete each part you will get to continue through another forcefield. You will remain inside your current section untill you complete the task of that section. Each section's challenge are all relatively simply and involve your person, be it adding or subtracting clothing or gear. Your reward for completing this challenge will be to keep whatever you pick up through the challenge as well as passage through this hallway. As many people as you want may start the challenge whenever they would like. It is not team oriented and you may each start at any time."
The two looked at each other. It sounded tricky, but it also sounded rewarding and easy at the same time. Surely there was some kind of catch. Removing clothes?
It was at this point that Rachel and Brittany came back, the four conversing on what they saw as Nami described what the challenge terminal did. Rachel and Brittany then recounted that the two hallways turned towards the front then had stairs heading upwards. There was obviously more light and loud noises coming from each of them. They obviously went to the same place. It is at this point when Stephani comes out of the back room beckoning to them. "You guys have to see this."
Team 6 walked over to Stephani, looking into the room. There was a challenge terminal there, as well as strangely five tubes with rushing water in them. Stephani grinned and turned to them. "The challenge terminal said that these were not challenges, but ways to different parts of the temple. However, only two people can go down a single tube so we'd be splitting up. Sounds like a short cut to me though at the cost of losing most of your group."
It is at this point the rest of the girls related what they found to her and they began discussion on what to do. "I kind of like the tube idea." Stephani put forward. "I like shortcuts."
"Yeah but we'll be split up." Nami pointed out. "It'll make things even harder. Think we could handle that?"
"I just think we should look down the hallways first and see what was going on over there." Rachel piped in, arms crossed. "We can always turn back if we don't like what we see anyways right? Might as well get some more information on where we should go."
Brittany nodded at that suggestion. "I'm voting for sticking together personally, I don't want to be alone when we run into another team. Who know's what they'll do to us if we can't defend ourselves." The girls nodded at that.
"Well, should we vote?" Vanessa put forward, shyly speaking. The girls all nodded at that, everyone putting in their vote before Vanessa tallied them up. And the winner was...
