WITA (Private / Ask To Join)

[Dream]

This building is a master piece in design, situated upon the water the WITA building is the head quarters for a large organization that handles all military training programs. The security can be very tight however civilians are allowed to enter the ground floor. WITA stands for Warrior Indoctrination Training Academy and is a hub for many fresh out of the box soldiers for the local army. However this particular building is not for training but rather for equipping those who enter the local army.

This building is the science division that handles all break troughs in military technology. However the public is not allowed into this building and it always has a small security detail around the outside of the building. The inside however is another matter all together. Each section is divided in subdivisions and they all make the entire place seem like a maze. Luckily there are guide boards that let people know how to get around.

Currently a truck is arriving at this location with a very special cargo that they have been waiting for. However, the truck needs to enter the underground entrance in order to get to the right location. It will go past a few barricade doors that all rise and then lower as the truck descends four floors in the underground packing lot. it will then back up and those inside it will feel the padded cell they are in detach from the truck and feel like they are slid into something else more sturdy. After that they would hear the truck drive away. This is when Dream wakes up and finds that she is with Itamiku in a weird padded room.

"Itami, where are we?" She would yawn after the question after failing to stifle the yawn. She would rub the sleep out of her eyes as she tries to make sense of what exactly just happened. She would look around and try to make sense of what was going on but she just couldn't seem to come up with an explanation. It seems that they are currently trapped inside a padded room to her and she doesn't see a door.

[Itamiku]

Well, apart from not knowing where he was, he wasn't sure if he could break out of the truck, and these guys seemed to have been prepared for facing them... he would say he was having a rather interesting day. He and Dream were tossed into the back of a padded truck, no windows and two cameras... probably ensuring they didn't get away... Itamiku almost laughed. The glass looked bullet proof... he wondered if it was fist proof... though, if the threat was real... there'd be no way for him to get out without endangering Dream... Dammit...

Itamiku found himself regaining control of his body slowly while in the truck. Turning his head, a small crack retorted, clearing his mind further, he stood up and pressed on the cushion. It was firm, it would absorb any other punch, however his own would blow a hole right through the side of the containment unit. He couldn't feel anything in the cushions that felt like a bomb, but at the same time, he couldn't do anything that might put Dream in danger. All he could do for now was pick up Dream and carry her over to the would-be small blind spot in the back right corner, setting her down gently and playing with his handcuffs. He would feel the truck moving, stopping, moving again, being taken down in some sort of elevator, moving backward and finally dropping them off. It was almost time. He stood from his position next to Dream and stretched out his arms, testing his body to make sure he could move well.

"Itami, where are we?" He heard a tired voice behind himself. He looked over to Dream.

"Well sleepyhead, it seems we've been captured." He said matter-of-factly. "Ah, how are you feeling? Can you move?" He asked, conscious she may still not be doing that great after having been gassed. He shook out his sweat shirt, holding it up to see how much space it took up.

"Other than to say, I think we're in a padded room... I have no idea where we are." He smirked, making light of their position. "Do you have anything sharp?" He asked, looking over to Dream.

[Dream]

Does she have anything sharp? She couldn't quite wrap her head around the question but she did have a small utility knife in her pocket. It has often been a great tool when she used to to survive in the wild. Her book 'Frontierswoman's Guide to Survival' said that it was an essential tool that without the survivor's chance of survival would plummet significantly. So Dream stole one and has been using it ever sense. She would of never dreamed in a million years that she would need to use it in a situation like this. "Captured?... I just remember the crazy cab. Right now I just want to get out though." she was looking very nervous and her next sentence was very pronounced to induce importance to the urgency "I - Don't - Like - Small - Spaces" she was not in a good place obviously and handed the knife to Itamiku in a clumsy manner, luckily it was folded shut though.

She would observe the small room and shudder a bit some hidden memory perhaps? or was it something else? It would be impossible to tell by just looking at her but one thing for sure was that she was not comfortable in this room. She wanted out and she wasn't going to wait much longer. However before Itami could even use the knife a voice would be heard in the padded room. It was the voice of the ever familiar man with sunglasses, "Good Morning subjects 3329 and 3330. I do hope you enjoyed your stay in that nice room, however all good things must end and for now I have a question for you both. I must admit it will help with your survival quite a lot and honestly we do not want to see either of you get harmed to badly. We have plenty of test subject that we can dissect already thank you and we have no need for another. If you die I am afraid you will just be discarded." there was a pause as the man seemed to gather his next line thought.

"Now the question I have is which direction will you take?" with that the walls would all slide upwards revealing four different paths one in each direction behind, in front, to the left, and to the right. "Now each way has a different type of difficulty and as we are sure you will not tell us what your ability does we will tell you what the paths do and you can test your power against the path. You can both choose the same path if you wish but be warned if you are not the type to survive the chances are you may become seriously injured. Now, on to the agenda, to the front you should take note that it is a corridor of strength, to the left a corridor of speed, to the right a corridor of power or well i believe you call it reiastu, and behind you is a path of weaponry. Now choose your path and take note that if you survive you may have a chance to escape." The voice would end leaving them in the quiet no open padded room. Dream could only wonder what horrors were in store for them in this twisted place.

[Itamiku]

"Captured?... I just remember the crazy cab. Right now I just want to get out though." Itamiku looked over at her, her tone deadly serious. "I - Don't - Like - Small - Spaces" She was shaking as she handed him the knife. He grabbed her hand with the object and looked into her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." He said calmly. A small smile came to one side of his mouth. "I made a promise, I'm not about to break it." Dreams eyes wandered around the room. He pulled his hand back and opened the blade, however a voice reached his ears that defiantly wasn't dream's...

"Good Morning subjects 3329 and 3330. I do hope you enjoyed your stay in that nice room, however all good things must end," Itamiku frowned, his hands nimbly going to work with the blade, picking at the handcuff's lock. "and for now I have a question for you both. I must admit it will help with your survival quite a lot and honestly we do not want to see either of you get harmed too badly. We have plenty of test subjects that we can dissect already, thank you, and we have no need for another. If you die I am afraid you will just be discarded." there was a pause and Itamiku decided to take it.

"How welcoming." He said aloud, hoping the man could hear him. "All that's missing is a fanfare and the red carpet. I'm flattered." He would continue picking the lock as the man continued.

"Now the question I have is which direction will you take?" Itamiku didn't have time to wonder what the man meant before the walls rose, showing they weren't in a room, but rather a crossroads. "Now each way has a different type of difficulty and as we are sure you will not tell us what your ability does we will tell you what the paths do and you can test your power against the path. You can both choose the same path if you wish but be warned if you are not the type to survive the chances are you may become seriously injured. Now, on to the agenda, to the front you should take note that it is a corridor of strength, to the left a corridor of speed, to the right a corridor of power or well i believe you call it reiastu, and behind you is a path of weaponry. Now choose your path and take note that if you survive you may have a chance to escape."

Itamiku sighed, making a mental note of each of the specialties and halls. "Chance to escape?" He asked skeptically. "It has to be a trap." That was the only explanation. It was the carrot at the end of the hall that would lead them to play their game. And if they separated, who knew if they would see each other again afterward? Itamiku found himself facing several unknowns. Actually, it was a lot like playing chess with the other player's pieces marked by question marks. He looked down at Dream. "I can't tell you what to do for this one." He said. "I recommend we stick together... but I don't have your speed and you don't have my strength." He shook his head slowly. "I... don't know what lies ahead for us down those halls... I want you to be safe, but I don't know how I can protect you if you aren't near me..." He trailed off, concern evident in his features. There was a click as the handcuffs released their hold on him and he removed the metal accessory. He slipped it in his sweat shirt, not about to waste something that may potentially be of use.

"Thanks..." He said simply, pushing the blade back in and holding it out for Dream.

[Dream]

Without any hesitation at all Dream would say, "I am sticking with you, you can pick the way." She was not about to be separated from Itamiku and she would rather take her chances with him then by herself. She was far to scared to go off on her own and she was a bit miffed that Itamiku would even suggest it! She didn't like all these corridors and rooms so far as she knew she couldn't use her speed to the best of her abilities. That always gave her a feeling of being trapped as she has always relied on her speed to save her. What if she couldn't use that speed though? What would become of her then? What was her talent to help others? She did not like this one bit and she was going to stick with Itamiku as he was obviously more experienced with such things. Dream has never fought once in her whole life, she has always run away from any battle that might ensue. What chance would she have in a place like this?

She would be quiet a long time as she thought about what she wanted to do, she knew she wanted to go with Itami but she wasn't sure if it was just from a lack of options or if she just wanted to be with him. Either way she was sure that choosing a path that lent to his strengths would be best. "Pick a way you like, I am not sure if I will be able to help but you have a better chance of getting out then me."

[Itamiku]

"I am sticking with you," Itamiku blinked at the sudden answer, " you can pick the way."

Itamiku was silent. He was happy she felt the same way, however she wasn't suited for the challenge that would lie ahead should he choose the corridor of strength. With such a small body he could tell she wasn't nearly as strong as he was, and if there was someone there waiting... Itamiku sighed. If there was someone there waiting in the other rooms they would be in trouble there as well. She was just a fourteen year old girl and they were asking her to defend herself against who knows what? A silent anger filled Itamiku as his right hand closed in a fist as he contemplated his strengths and weaknesses. He was a Hand to Hand fighter with a mean right hook... wasn't much else to his power than that... and Dream was extremely fast... however had no combat training nor had the will to fight. Itamiku closed his eyes, his path clear as day but his courage faltering at the unknown.

"Pick a way you like, I am not sure if I will be able to help but you have a better chance of getting out then me."

Itamiku shook his head at her words. "No, we're both getting out of here. You may not be strong, but your speed is more helpful than you know." Itamiku looked down the hall of strength, hoping he could cope with whatever it was these guys had in store for him and Dream. "Stay by me and be ready for anything." He said, taking slow steps forward almost expecting the ceiling to drop suddenly. The question the man asked wasn't a very good one... why? There wasn't a definite right answer and perhaps none were right.

Here's to hoping.

[Dream]

Dream would follow Itamiku as he choose the way of strength, she knew she wasn't going to be much help although Itami said that her speed would come in handy. She would help in anyway she could she was just going to have to trust Itamiku to make the right calls. As soon as they were both out of the padded room they would step into a long hallway that seemed to stretch off farther then either of them could see. The corridor was about ten feet wide and would allow them to walk side by side however Dream was opting to walk behind Itamiku clearly not looking forward to whatever was planned for them both.

As they proceeded certain sounds would play out in the distance, a steady clicking noise was ahead of them somewhere and further past that clicking noise was some other noise that sounded like scraping metal. As they continued they would eventually find out what the clicking noise was and it was nothing that would make either of them happy. Dream certainly didn't like the sight and she was sure that itami didn't like it either.

Ahead of them was two sets of glass windows on either side it looked like some sort of creature was in both side. They were twisted creatures though and looked like hollows except they didn't have a hole in their body nor did they have a mask. They were all twisted in grotesque ways and Dream could only barely make out what they once were, from the looks of them they were various animals that had been twisted with experiments unknown. The only thing they all had in common was razor claws and sharp teeth. Some of them were fighting each other and others were trying to sleep in corners of solitude that they could find. None of them looked friendly. Some of them were making clicking noises and that was when Dream noticed another similarity between them all, they all had these odd shaped barbed things sticking out of their backs. it looked like a metal rode was inserted into their back and was the source of their agony. Dream could see that many were trying to get the rode out of another ones back and she realized they were not fighting but actually helping each other.

Further ahead was a door that lead somewhere, as to where Dream could only guess but she hoped it wasn't into those things cages. She didn't feel safe walking past the glass walls and waited for Itamiku to decide what to do before moving on. Currently they were a good distance away from the thing's glass walls and it didn't look like any of them had noticed them yet. Speaking in a very low voice Dream would ask "What do we do now? Are we going to sneak by?"

[Itamiku]

clicking... clicking...

the sounds of metal scratching on the walls and floor left an unnerving atmosphere for them as they advanced down the halls. click, click, click... If Itamiku didn't know any better, he'd think there were dozens of those sounds bouncing around the walls, all meshing together as they neared the source of the noise.

As they approached the end of the hall, Itamiku found a door up ahead and had been about to run up to it, however, two sets of glass windows on either side caught his eyes and he halted, raising an arm he would stop Dream. What... the hell were they? Whatever they were, they looked inhuman... inorganic... like they had been the workings of a science lab. Each of the things had metal objects coming from their backs along with claws and sharp teeth ready to maul whatever was unlucky enough to get caught in there with them. Itamiku couldn't help but worry the glass wasn't strong enough to hold them for long. If they were trapped in that room with them... they wouldn't last for long at all. He looked over to dream and raised a hand to his mouth, making a 'quiet' sign.

He turned back to the animals and saw a pair scratching at one another, one specifically aiming at the metal rode in the other's back. Itamiku shook his head. Damn... this was annoying... Suddenly, he tilted his head. Something about them was off...

"What do we do now? Are we going to sneak by?" Dream asked. Itamiku shook his head.

"No, you're going to stay here... and whatever happens, if you find yourself in danger... run." He commanded. He didn't like the feel of this plan... but it was the best he had. Stepping forward, he walked up the hall towards the door, easily viable to the animals. If they looked at him, he would stop and see what they did. If they didn't take any notice, he would progress to the door. If the animals noticed him and looked away, he would continue to the door as well. If the animals attacked, he would instinctively move back the way he had come and if they shattered the glass... well... it seemed a fight would be on his hands. God... he hoped the glass held...

If somehow he reached the door, he would give the handle a test tap to make sure it wasn't electrified or burning. He would open it a crack and peek through to see where it led. If he couldn't see anything, he would open it further until he did. If it led to the animal's cage, he would quickly shut the door behind him, not allowing Dream to enter with him and not letting the animals out.

Great... he would think... now what? It probably wouldn't take long for the animals to notice him after entering and he would see how they would respond to him. However, he had a good idea they wouldn't be extremely friendly upon seeing him.

[Dream]

Dream would watch as Itamiku made his way silently down the corridor pass the encased creatures. The creatures didn't take notice at all of him and she found this very curious. Itamiku would make it all the way to the door past the animals cell and would begin to open the door. Dream let out a sigh of relief that the creatures didn't notice him, she was surprised and wondered if they could see him at all. Perhaps the glass was one way? If so that wasn't a very good way to test strength... not that she wanted to be tested. She would wait quietly as Itamiku observed the next room over.

He would open it a crack and not see the animal inside the room but he wouldn't see the entire room either. After he opens it fully the room in which he wanted would fully light up showing a monstrosity of a room. the entire room was huge but jagged with blocks of the floor sticking up in weird places. Some would require a person to climb up on in order to continue on. the entire place was huge in its size and a football field could fit in this room easily, perhaps even two of them. It was not possible to tell if another door existed in this room though.

Meanwhile Dream was waiting for Itami's signal to move forward.

[Itamiku]

[Sorry, I'm not understanding I guess. It's jagged in that the floor is uneven, in the way its walls shoot out causing him to have to turn often, or jagged in some other respect I'm not thinking of?]

Itamiku blinked as lights went on suddenly in the black room. He had nearly been expecting one of the animals to pounce out at him... rather, they didn't even notice him upon passing. It was odd, like they were tame or they didn't see him. Itamiku continued hoping his luck would last. He would look back and indicate for Dream to come with his right hand. His head would turn and he would look again at the room. It seemed it led forward with the path being a jagged line foward with what seemed to be obsticals poking up on the floor. One would think the room was booby trapped well to require such a complex layout. The room was large, and from he was standing there was no other door in sight. Perhaps it was hidden somewhere in the room? Dream and Itamiku would enter the room at the same time, both suspecting something but neither knowing what to expect.

Itamiku looked over to Dream, the pair sticking relativly close to one another. "You alright?" He asked, conciously keeping the door open, knowing it would probably shut automatically behind them and lock itself anyway, forcing them forward like rats in a maze. As if the prize of potential freedom wasn't incentive enough. Unless they thought they would lose their nerve once seeing the test. Obviously, whatever it was they were facing, these lunitics pitted others up against the same things only for them to be slaughtered in some gruesome fashion. 3329 and 3330? Just how many suffered this test and just how many survived? Survived... and escaped. The thought of escape kept Itamiku conciouss that he couldn't use his power all willy nilly if he wanted to be able to escape... and he couldn't take too much damage in this room either in case there were more tests.

"Stay close." Itamiku said, eyes scanning and ears alert as he walked forward, wondering what sorts of traps were in store for them.

[Dream]

As Dream passed the creatures she couldn't help but notice that they looked like they were in pain. They were like tormented souls lost in hell. She couldn't help but feel for them as they were obviously suffering so much. She couldn't bare to look and quickly made her way to Itamiku. He had made it to the door and after he check the other side to make sure it was safe he opened the door a bit more to get a better look and motioned Dream over. She didn't waste anytime wanting to get away from the strange tormented creatures so as to get them away from her sights she would run to Itami.

Once she entered the room the bizarre build of the room would come into perspective for her. It was like someone took a checkers board and made all the squares different heights! The only difference was that there was a lot more squares then normal. She couldn't see past all of them as some where almost as high as the ceiling. As she looked more carefully she would notice that most of the rising blocks has small indents on them and she realized that they were climbing stones! It was like each block was designed in such a way that it would force people to climb as if on a climbing wall. She was beginning to see why she couldn't use her speed here, there was nowhere to use her speed! If she was caught she would be almost useless as there was nowhere to use her speed. Her legs could be used in other ways but this was a big problem as she wasn't sure how she was going survive and test of strength. She was hoping she could at least climb these walls. While she was on this train of thought Itami would say "Stay close" and another familiar voice would chime in.

"You choose power, now you will undoubtedly see that this is a giant climbing chamber and I will tell you that there is a door to the outside at the single topmost climbing cube that is in the center of this room. However, we still need to know your strength so to settle this we have set loose a few of our.... other experiments that will fight you and try to kill you. We suggest that you kill first and ask questions later as it might mean your life. Good luck, and oh yeah! You have one minute before we let them loose."

[Itamiku]

Itamiku's eyes scanned the area before him. It was strange... like a maze of rising and lowering of squares, an indistinct path to the center of the room with the tallest climb. Itamiku sighed. This was the test of strength? More like a test of stamina... Suddenly, he heard a voice start speaking on the familiar intercom system.

"You choose power," Obviously, they were listening to a recording this time. Apparently they went through so many test subjects they didn't want to repeat themselves over and over again. Itamiku would start forward, taking it relatively easy for now, climbing the smaller walls and reaching down a hand to pull Dream up. "Now you will undoubtedly see that this is a giant climbing chamber and I will tell you that there is a door to the outside at the single topmost climbing cube that is in the center of this room."

"How thoughtful." Itamiku growled sarcastically at the voice.

"However, we still need to know your strength so to settle this we have set loose a few of our.... other experiments that will fight you and try to kill you. We suggest that you kill first and ask questions later as it might mean your life. Good luck, and oh yeah! You have one minute before we let them loose."

Itamiku groaned. "Well, we know what they're for now." He smirked, starting forward in a run. He would use the momentum to run up the wall a bit before grabbing hold of the indents to begin climbing up a 3 meter rise. If they could, going up and staying up was their best bet in terms of making the top. Once reaching the top of that one, he'd look down. Good thing he wasn't handcuffed or he'd never make it. "We need to keep moving. Just shadow where I go and you'll be fine." Itamiku called down, waiting for Dream to catch up. This first climb was a good test to see just how fast she could come. Though, it seemed they underestimated the power of an advent. Even so, he'd only break out the secret if it seemed they couldn't get away with only their human traits.

[Dream]

Dream would not stick around waiting for Itami's order to climb, the second he started to climb Dream would be right behind him. She wasn't too keen to see what kind of experiments were going to come after them, although she highly suspected that they would be able to reach them even if they climbed up. She would keep on Itami's heels though and eventually they would be on top of the first block. It gave a slightly better view of where to go next and would help them find the way up although for now Dream just wanted to go up so she would signal for Itami to continue up another adjacent square that rises even more then the one they were on.

Dream had to be amazed at the design and scope of the place as the ceiling was easily higher then most buildings she has seen! She would get up on a nearby grip that looked sturdy and she would try to get a better look. However she couldn't enjoy the sight long as one of the grips that she grabbed suddenly shifted downwards and another grip above her suddenly started to move outwards and was head straight at her! It was shaped like on of those fake rocks on a climbing wall except that it was attached to some sort of metal machine that was zooming out to hit her! It looked as if it was going to try and knock her off. It would seem that the walls were booby trapped in some ways and Dream triggered the first one!

Dream would become paralyzed in fright as the thing would hurl in her direction in an attempt to knock her down. She didn't know where to run, down was going to be dangerous soon and now going up was too! She couldn't run and her options were dwindling quickly! She wasn't ready for such an occurrence to happen and she was not mentally prepared to fight off such things. She would manage to say "ITAMI!" before the thing hit her and she would be knocked to the edge of the square they were currently on. She was not hurt and luckily she didn't fall, all that happened was she was knocked down and the wind was knocked out of her. The five meter wide squares did not allow for much room to maneuver but Dream's quick reflexes allowed her to avoid a direct hit.

[Itamiku]

It hadn't taken long for them to reach this far up. They were already three meters in less than fifteen seconds. Itamiku wasn't sure just how far up it was, but it seemed it would take more than a minute. In his thoughts, he could hear the pitter-patting of small feet as Dream rushed over to the edge of another wall and grabbed hold of the indents. Itamiku frowned, aware he had been wasting precious time, but also that Dream was disobaying the two commands he had given her. To stay close and to shadow his movements. "Dream, I said to shadow my movements." Itamiku repeated his command, not only for her safety, but for his sanity. However, she seemed eager to get to the end of this challenge. Itamiku sighed and ran forward and repeated the process of running up the walls before grabbing hold of the indents. Suddenly, he heard a hissing sound from above. His eyes instinctively rose, seeing Dream's head turn, his eyes followed. A mechanical arm above them shot out and then dropped at an alarming pace, aiming right at them both! Itamiku shifted his stance to the left, hanging by a hand and a foot... however, Dream was just watching, frozen. He couldn't do anything but watch as it came down, not even a sound uttered from his shocked, ashen face.

"ITAMI!" Dream yelled before he saw the arm hit her, causing her to let go of the hold, hanging by a hand and perhaps a planted foot on the hold below her. "DREAM!" He'd yell up to her. The arm would come crashing down and he would feel a rush of air as it whizzed by harmlessly. However, his concern showed as he climbed up as fast as he could to Dream.

"Dream, are you alright?" Itamiku asked as he climbed, "I'm coming up." He told her, "Don't move." It was tricky, but he managed to climb next to her. "Dream, are you alright?" He asked, a hand reaching out and touching her shoulder. "Dream, I'm going to go up first, I want you to follow me and do what I tell you without hesitation... Do you understand?" He asked, his green eyes looking sternly into hers.

[Dream]

Dream nodded her head in agreement and waited for Itamiku to take the lead, the first minute would be upon them soon ans she wanted to make sure they were ready. She was Racking her mind about how they could move faster. She was obviously holding Itamiku back and these added traps were ridiculous. He managed to dodge it so easily so how was Dream going to match him? She couldn't run up the walls they were too steep and there was no straight path up the wall as the climbing stones seemed to be positioned in such a way to trip up the person that thought to do so. There had to be a way to get up quickly though.

She would look around and then a thought occurred to her she could jump! A normal human's legs could jump 5 feet give or take a few feet so what about her super enhanced legs? How high could she jump? She has never tried it before and if she had some place to jump off of she would probably get quite a large height. She doubted that she would be able to get high enough jumping straight up though she would need some secondary jumping platform. She would look around and take note of some of the square pillars. Currently they were low and that meant that she could jump from one block to the other kicking off from the walls themselves as she tries to jump higher. It was sort of like using the wall as a means to jump up by jumping from one side to the other each time a bit higher. She may even be able to use some of the climbing stones to kick off of making her accent even faster.

She would smile while Itamiku was working hard to get up to the top. As he was doing that Dream would activate her legs, not their super speed though, she would only activate her legs. She would feel the familiar pain and she would bite back the urge to cringe as that would make unnecessary noise. Once that was done she would check to make sure Itamiku was not watching, if he wasn't she would disobey him and looking to the side she would kick off trying to be quick about her accent. She would kick off from another taller square and then she would kick back being a little higher. Dream was hopeful that her first kick off made him look down and she was sure he would freak but when he would call her name she would already be at the top of the square they were climbing. Which was true, it took Dream only a few more jumps which she managed to do because of her legs and she was at the top much faster then Itamiku. if Itamiku called for her she would say above him, "What's Up?" with a big smile, if he didn't notice she would wait at the top for him. In which case she would say "What took you so long?"

[Itamiku]

Itamiku led the way from their position on the wall. Luckily, there were no more traps upon their ascent. Itamiku's ears would catch what sounded to be a growling and the scraping of claws and gnashing of teeth in an animalistic sound. He would look down and see four of the animals, each snarling looking up around six meters below them, each trying to find a way up to them. Itamiku groaned. it really took a minute just to get up this far? The way this was going they'd be caught in no time. Dream didn't have the stamina to keep climbing forever and He didn't know if he'd be able to climb up without the use of his own powers. Looking back he would turn to Dream. Or... At least where Dream had been standing just a moment ago... Itamiku would look around wildly.

"Dream?" He called, worried the worst had occurred. Damn, she couldn't follow directions could she?

"What's up?" A familiar voice called to him from above. His eyes lifted to the area the door was supposed to be in. "Ahh..." he stumbled for a moment. "I guess you are." A smirk came to his face. It seemed their secret was out anyway after she used her legs. Itamiku looked around for a camera for a couple seconds, upon seeing one he would wave to the camera before disappearing from where he was standing, He took off up the wall to his right, appeared for a brief moment before pushing off again covering another another, doing this five times before reaching the top.

"What took you so long?" Dream's voice piped up.

"Eh," he shrugged, a little winded, it seemed like he only had one or two more of those left in him. "I wanted to conserve, but I guess leaving takes first priority."

5/6 Sprints to cover 50 meters.

[Dream]

Dream would keep pace with Itamiku as he climbed but eventually she could no long use the pillars to jump off of to climb quickly and she was going to have to result to climbing to keep up with Itamiku. She would watch though as he would literally fly up the wall using some sort of power that allowed him to scale the walls without tripping. Somehow he managed to make it past all the climbing stones without falling, she could only guess but she suspected that his arm held some sort of super strength and it allowed him to move upwards quickly however she had no way to confirm this. As a matter of fact as she considered it for a second she would realize that she did not know what Itamiku could do, for all she knew he could shoot cannon balls out of his hands or maybe super strong arms was what he could do perhaps able to lift objects of tremendous weight and such.

Dream knew she couldn't do that and was forced to climb to the very top, luckily she had such a lead that she would still make it to the top before him and luckily she didn't trigger any more traps, so far the whole place seemed a bit lame. It was a good thing they were making such progress though as some of the creatures from below apparently had some innate climbing ability and were catching up. Soon Dream and Itamiku would make it to the top and the creatures from below were right behind them. The central pillar was a little bigger and at the top was some sort of trap door in the ceiling just above it. Dream could barely reach it but she would grab the door and pull it down revealing a metal slate blocking their way up. "Umm... there's a big metal thing in the way Itami. What do we do?"

Dream would peer over the side and see that the Creatures would be upon them in a few seconds, ten at the most. She noticed that there was only three of them and they seemed single minded and determined to come up and eat her and Itamiku. She would keep an eye on them while Itamiku would try to figure out how to get past the metal door. There was no handle but there was a key pad of sorts although what was on it would be for Itamiku to find out as Dream was too busy keeping an eye on the creatures heading their way. What was she going to do if Itamiku could not get them through that door?

[Itamiku]

Itamiku and Dream would make it to the top of the towering pillars, the central one reaching up to a metal trap door. There was a keypad that seemed to be the key to getting out of this deathtrap... but what was the password? Itamiku scowled as he let out a sharp breath of air in a 'tch' sound. There could be an infinite number of possibilities... it had ten digits and an enter key to make any combination of numbers viable with no limitation to how many button presses were acceptable. And if he got it wrong? Hopefully there wasn't a booby trap associated with that. Itamiku took a breath and pushed in eight digits.

indistinctly, he heard a soft growl from his left, Dream busy looking down the right side of the pillar. He could almost feel the preditor's eyes on him, a killing intent filling the air as it prepared to strike. There wasn't much time to act before claws and teeth would find flesh. Balling his right hand in a fist, he rolled his body, his fist in a wound up position, forcing both his shoulder and arm forward his right palm glowing with a red light, he added as much force to the strike as he could. He build up spiritual energy into the fist that was released as a yellow beam shot out of his fist, 1 meter in length, the animal in mid-pounce as it collided with the energy. The effect was instantanious. Immediatly the beast was repelled backward at a tremendous force, black scorch marks forming where the energy singed its fur, the skin disintegrating under the power that was released from the fist. The animal let out a gurgling sound as it fell, a cone-like hole blasted in its body. "Dream, get away from the edge!" He called, looking back to the pad and pressing enter, hoping it would open. If not, he'd have to fight the other animals... and hope there weren't too many of them...

[Dream]

After watching Itami shoot a laser beam from his hand Dream was captivated by him. It wasn't everyday she met someone that could shot a yellow beam of light that would destroy everything in it's path before. All she could do was stare in amazement. She never realized that was what he could do with his arm! "But... you just... from your hand...WOW" That was all she had time to say before another one of those creatures came up and was about to attack her! She instinctively kicked out and hit the thing in the gut and sent it flying across the room until it landed with a dull thud on the ground below. Then there was one left, she wasn't paying attention to the trap door which was now blinking red and was apparently not going to let them out, that would be when they would hear the scampering and clawing and roaring of about a hundred more creatures being let into the room.

It was now an echoing nightmarish sound reverberating around the room which would make it hard to hear each other. The creatures seemed intent on getting to them and they still had one to deal with up here. Dream was guessing they had about 3 minutes before those creatures got to them. The last creature that was close enough to get to them was about to get stable footing on the pillar and they still needed to get out before the rest of them caught up. It was becoming very dangerous indeed. She still wasn't sure if she actually managed to hurt the last one or not but she at least prevented it from getting up to them and that was something wasn't it?

What about the last one though? She wasn't sure she could hurt one that was already up on the pillar! Either way she would get away from it and let Itami handle it and while he was doing that she would take a closer look at the door, it looked like they might have to try and break through it but before that she would try a few random numbers while Itami would fight off the last creature. She was hoping she could open it by hitting random numbers but she didn't have any luck, she was beginning to wonder if Itami could bust it open with his laser beam hand.

[Itamiku]

"But... you just... from your hand...WOW." Itamiku looked over to Dream who was staring at him in amazement. He smirked, unable to hide a swell of pride in his abilities. However, his eyes bolted down to the edge of the pillar, beyond her wolf plated feet. She must have seen because the next moment a foot bolted out at the creature's body as it lifted a claw to maul her with. The kick sent the thing flying across the room as it fell in a wide arc, hitting the ground in a distant thud Itamiku didn't listen for. Itamiku looked back up to the blinking red trapdoor. His jaw clenching and his fist glowing with energy.

He would let out a growl that turned into a yell as he gathered Reiatsu into his hand and punched up at the metal trap door, the blast pushing the door of its hinges with a crushing sound and would create an indentation in the concrete ceiling above it, hanging there. It was only then he heard a chilling sound. Hundreds of clicks, metallic scraps, snarls, all of them coming from below. He didn't spend time wondering what it was nor looking. He grabbed Dream by the waist and tossed her up. It was only then he felt a sharp pain in his back and fell forward, A heavy pressure on his back. Without thinking, he swung his right arm back, turning his body to let out another blast of energy, sending the other animal flying. Ignoring the pain, he rose to his knees and jumped up with a mighty heave. He pulled himself up just as teeth snapped below him, missing his foot by mere centimeters. He crawled forward before falling to the ground on his stomach, his back aching, his breathing heavy.

"You alright?" Itamiku asked from the floor to Dream, trying to catch his breath but the pain forcing him to take shallower breaths. It was moderately deep, perhaps a quarter of an inch slice marks along a foot of his back. The wound was bleeding out at an alarming pace and his shirt and sweatshirt was ripped through. A large circle of blood was forming where the rip marks were.
