(Thanks to Zro-Kemuri 9t6, jamesss, AlexTheMortal, zackt2010, and Lance-Dusk! I thought I'll clear something up now. Max managed to off his pinky finger by pressing it hard on the extremely sharp knife. Anywho, first part of group task, and some more appearances by the mysterios "He")
He scrambled over the fence and dropped down, before shooting a demon straight through the head. But more and more were coming, so he turned and dived behind a low wall, rolling past and started to lunge up a hill. He came to the top, and quickly ducked a surprising attack from a small demon, almost like a child.
He didn't take any notice, and merely kicked the demon away from him, before sliding down the hill and rolling across the burnt, blackened grass.
LINE BREAK
"Hello." The voice crackled out of unseen speakers towards the four occupants of the room, Rain, Riley, Jeffrey, and Alex. "You four are unique to this 'group' you are in. Each and every one of you is selfish. You want to meet your own ends, and don't care who dies on the way. As long as it's not you. You are a group of people who rely on themselves, as you are not willing to work as a team. Well, tonight is your chance to work as a unit. Through that locked door you will find three rooms, and in each, a test. The solution to getting out of this room lies in the back of your minds; you'll just have to search very thoroughly."
Alex and Riley looked at each other, as Jeffrey shrugged and sat down, while Rain inspected the door.
"What should we do?" Alex asked Rain, who seemed to be the only one doing anything relatively useful.
"We find out how to get out of this room. We succeed in those three tasks, and we stay alive." Rain said, stepping away from the wall.
"And how will y'all get us out of this?" Jeffrey asked, tilting his cowboy hat downwards, shadowing his face.
"Oh, that's part simple." Rain suddenly said, standing up. "Show me the back of your heads."
"Pardon me?" Riley questioned.
"Let me explain. We have no means of getting out of here, but there is a look with a four number code." Rain pointed to the door. "Now, from what brief knowledge I have of Jigsaw, he always lets his subjects have a chance of escape. Now, combine that with what he said. 'The solution to getting out of this room lies in the back of your minds' leads me to believe that it's either actually something we've seen before, or actually on the back of our 'minds' or our heads. So show me them"
Alex shrugged, and turned around. Rain approached, and lifted the back of his dark hair, and a 6 was embedded into his flesh.
"See." Rain said, before doing the same to Jeffrey and Riley, finding the numbers 7 and 0 respectively. "Someone look at mine."
Riley walked over and lifted Rain's dyed hair, revealing the number 1. "Number 1."
"Thanks." Rain nodded to Riley.
"But now what d'ya plan to do?" Jeffrey asked. "You got the numbers, but surely it'll take too long to solve the combination. WE don't know what order they're in."
"Wrong." Rain said, raising a finger. "We know there are four numbers. Thus, by logic, you times that by itself, which gets 16. There are sixteen possibilities. Well, I'll get started, shall I?"
"So not to waste time, why don't I smash it down?" Alex asked.
"I have no doubt that some of the others will use their own powers, but I don't want Jigsaw to know we have some as well." Rain said, suddenly grinning as the door clicked and opened inwards. "Let's go for the first one."
The four walked into a room which contained a large, metal box, and was emitting heat making them sweat.
The familiar radio crackle filled the air, making the others stiffen. "This room contains a furnace, and in the furnace lays the key to the next room. One of you needs to get the key, however, the furnace will shut forever, burning the victim to death. The person will be able to push the key out of the furnace, but will not be able to get out. Which of you will sacrifice yourselves to give the others a chance at freedom?"
"Allrigh', I'm not going in." Jeffrey immediantly said, backing himself against a wall.
LINE BREAK
"Why the hell not!" Riley pointed a finger at Jeffrey. "You're the oldest, hell, you are already dead. You should just kill yourself as you should be dead anyway."
Jeffrey lurched forward and gave Riley a hard backhand around the face, before grabbing her head, and smashing it into the side of the furnace.
"HEY!" Alex shot forward, grabbed Jeffrey, and pulled him back, but Jeffrey merely pushed Alex off of him, and punched him in the gut.
"One of us has'ta die. And it ain't gonna be me, sunshine!" Jeffrey snarled, before suddenly yelping in pain, and held his back. Riley stood, shaking slightly, as a fire ball had emitted from her hands, and shot Jeffrey in the back. Jeffrey quickly took his suit jacket off, and charged at Riley, who shakily let another fireball off at Jeffrey, but it missed, and Jeffrey kicked her in the gut, and threw her into the metal, her head clanging off it and cutting it wide open, and also knocked Riley unconscious. Jeffrey grinned and went to pick her up when he roared in pain.
Jeffrey held his bleeding arm, and glared at Alex, who had raised his left ring finger, in which was now a very tall crystalline blade. "Oh, come on now, son. She's knocked out, now's our chance!"
"Shut it, you asshole.2" Alex waved the blade around uncertainly. "Why don't you just go and step in there, and get the key?"
"Why don't you?" Jeffrey challenged.
"SHUT UP!" Rain suddenly roared, a pipe breaking above her, in which a torrent of water burst forth and slammed straight into Jeffrey and Alex. "We are NOT fighting! This is what Jigsaw wants. We HAVE to work as a team, if we want to win this thing!" Rain made the water squeeze Alex and Jeffrey tightly, while she walked over to Riley, who was stirring, and helped her up, before washing her face with water. "This is simple to achieve, yet because of you mindless squabbling, we can't do it!"
"Fine." Jeffrey muttered, unable to move. "What'ya suggest we do?"
"Simple. That door is most likely pressure activated, meaning that if one of us climbs in there, it will shut because of a pressure plate. However, if you, Alex, form a diamond barrier with your finger to stop the door from shutting, I can go in there covered in water to avoid burning myself, and the key, and come out!" Rain shook her head. "It's simple. I can't believe you were actually going to kill her. Your playing right into Jigsaw's hands."
LINE BREAK
He yelled in pain as the claws embedded itself in his arm, and he was pulled forward by the grinning demon.
"Got ya..." It muttered.
"No you fucking don't!" The man grunted, bringing out a sharp serrated knife, and sliced above his elbow, and quickly cut it below his elbow. The demon was surprised, but he kicked it away from it, took the bandana from his head and wrapped it around the stub, and quickly ran towards the large city. "I hope you're still there, you damn bastard." The man muttered.
