"There's a point where it tips,

there's a point where it breaks,

there's a point where it bends

and a point we just can't take

anymore"-RWBY volume 2 op [Time to say goodbye]

[Ayame's p.o.v]

"I am Satotz and I will lead you to the second phase" The mouth-less, long legged man said as his strides increased.

How is he even able to talk, without a mouth!

"What do your mean the second phase?What about the first phase?" A man in a ninja suit with a bald head questioned.

"The first phase had already started" Satotz said

The cave that we are running in seemed like some kind of sewer. The sound of our running bounced off the walls.

"That's really smart, it's not just a test of stamina" I said to myself but the others in the group heard me.

"I have to agree with you." The blonde haired male,who Gon introduced as Kurapika, agreed.

The two other males looked at us in confusion. Noticing their confusion, Kurapika explained that this is not just to test your stamina, it also puts a strain in your mind; not know how much time we will be running for, will affect their mind.

They nodded. Gon started talking to me again about other stuff like finding his dad, who is a Hunter, but he was interrupted by the suit wearing male. He was yelling at someone.

"Oi, kid. Have respect for the Hunter Exam! Your supposed to run!"

Gon and I turned to see Leorio yelling at the boy with the skateboard. He turns to Leorio with a confuse look.

"What do you mean, old man?" The silver haired boy asked with a innocent look on his face.

When he said that, Leorio looked like if he was about to explode with anger. Gon and I interrupted him before he could say anything else.

"Satotz, only said to follow him. He never said anything about skateboards." Gon said with a innocent look.

"Gon's right!" I agreed

Leorio looked like he was about to explode and the white haired boy looked at us with interest.

'Does he not remember me.' I sweatdropped at the thought.

"Who side are you two on!" Leorio yelled at us.

I just noticed that Kurapika is running forward as if he trying to say that he doesn't know us. I sweatdropped.

"How old are you?"

I turn to were the voice was and saw that it was the silver haired boy. He was skating near both of us with a curious look on his face in Gon's direction.

"Oh, I'm 12 years old and Ayame is 12 too" he responded with a innocent smile.

The sliver haired boy looked at my direction in surprise. I sweatdropped. He didn't notice me before. He then murmured something.

"I guess I going to run." He said a as he does a cool trick with his skateboard and starts running with us.

"That was so cool!" Gon and I yelled at the same time.

"Thanks, My name is Killua. What's yours?" He questioned

"My name is Gon and I told you Ayame's name already."

Killua was about to say something else but was interrupted by a something hitting the floor. We all stopped and turned around to see Leorio on the floor, exhausted.

"Let's go." Killua said as he was about to leave but he stops when he sees that neither of us moved.

'Come on Leorio. You could do it!' I said to myself as I stared at Leorio's fallen form. Gon stares at Leorio as well.

"I want to become a Hunter!" Leorio said under his breath but we heard him.

He then stands up and starts running passed us. Gon and I smiled as Gon gets Leorio's briefcase with his fishing rod.

"Wow, that was awesome!" Killua said

"I could teach you , if you teach me how to do the skateboard trick!" Gon said

"Sure!" Killua said "Let's have a race, the three of us. Whoever loses has to buy the winners lunch."

"Sure!" Both of us yelled.

All of us stand side by side each other and waited for Killua to say 'go'.

"Ready, set...go" when Killua yelled 'go', all of us started running in a fast pace. Running pass most of the other exhausted Hunter wannabes. At first, the ground was flat but then we came to stairs but that didn't bother us. We just skipped every two steps until we reach Kurapika and Leorio.

"Hi, old man!" Killua yelled at Leorio as we pass them.

"I'm not an old man. I'm a teen." He yelled

What!

We all stopped and stared at Leorio in shock. Kurapika, who was the first snapped out of it, ran forward. The three of us started running forward after recovering from our shock. We ran some more until we saw an opening. We all grin at each other and ran even faster until we all crossed to the outside.

"I won!" Gon and Killua yelled at the same time.

"No, I won!" I said back with a smirk.

"No!" Killua said glaring playful.

"Satotz-san. Who was the one who came first." Gon asked the examiner

Satotz-san wore a shock expression on his face but hid it when Gon asked him the question.

"I believe all of you passed at the same time." He said

When he said that, all of us had disappointment on our faces but Gon's face brighten up.

"How about this! I buy Killua lunch, Killua buys Ayame's lunch and Ayame buys me lunch."

We both stared at him in confusion and wonder. Wondering, how he came up with that plan and confused with what he means. A few minutes pass and we were in silence but then I started laughing after giving up on what he was trying to say. Killua and Gon stared at me as if I was crazy but later joined in as well.

"Satotz-san, are we here at the next phase." Gon asked after we stopped laughing.

Satotz-san turned towards us and told us that we still have a long way to go. A few mins later, Kurapika and Leorio came through the cave-like opening and went towards us.

"Is this where the second phase is?" Kurapika questioned

"No, Satoz said that we still have a little bit to go." Gon said.

After a few more minutes that seem like hours more and more people came through the cave-like opening.

"Now, that most of you are here. We must keep on going." Satotz-san said

When he said that, the cave-like opening started closing. A voice from the inside of the cave was yelling 'stop' or ' wait for me' but he was too late. The door closed. Poor guy but then again it's his fault for not being fast enough.

Satoz payed no mind to the poor guys call and continue talking about the swamp. He explain that bizarre and dangerous creatures inhabitant this swamp and says that you have to be careful because some could disguise themselves as human. Interesting.

"It's not like we will get fool since we know what we're up against." Leorio said

He jinxed it.

All of a sudden, a voice that came from the right interrupted Satoz from speaking. We all turn to see a ragged man that says that he is the real examiner and that Satoz is the fake.

"He wants to lure you in the forest so the others could eat you all." He continues

He was about to say something else but was interrupted by cards? Three cards were thrown at high speed towards him but he didn't catch them. He fell on the floor, died. Satoz-san however was able to catch them with ease.

"Oh, it looks like you are the real examiner since they are able to catch a simple trick like this~"

I shivered. That voice has so much evil intent and it's also so creepy. I turn towards the voice despite my sanity saying otherwise. There stood a man with clown-theme clothes and red hair. A red star adored his left cheek and on his right was a green tear drop. The clown turn towards my direction and smirk. His smirk was the worst; it was so creepy. In instinct, I took a step back and hid be hide Killua, who looked at me in confusion, but then understood why, when he saw Histoka.

"Come now and be prepared. We are going in." Satotz-san said as he turns around with one foot and started walking towards the swamp filled with monsters. This will be interesting. I just hope I won't be near Histoka.

And that's the second chapter. Sorry, for people who are actually reading this story for the slow updates but I have Tokyo Ghoul :re feels and RWBY feels still. Kaneki! Shu! Karren! Yang! Pyrrha! But still see you next chapter!
