~Len POV~

As soon as I went through the door, I saw Kaito.

"KAITO!" He turned around and saw me, a big goofy grin making its way to his face.

"LEN!"

"Kaito!" his goofy grin changed into a much more...how do I put this...scary grin? Awkward grin?

"LEN!"

"Kaito?" He was running towards me, arms out as if he was gonna hug me. Hell naw!

"LE-Oof!" He fell over onto his back. Why? Because I punched him in the face just before he was going to hug me.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"You were about to hug me! I don't have gay jungle fever!"

"Neither do I! And sue me if I'm glad that I saw a living, breathing thing other than a zombie!"

"Oh...woops..."

"As amusing as this is, you have other things you need to be doing. Behold, obstacle 2!"

"...where?" I asked.

"Turn around"

Kaito and I did as we were told, only to see a giant lake of lava, yes, volcano lava, in front of us. There were two long pieces of brick that looked like some sort of bridge that stretched from one end to the other*.

"We...we have to get across THAT?" I asked.

"Precisely. You have 3 minutes"

"It's not so hard, I guess." Kaito said. "Which one should we go on, the left one or the right one?"

"Left." I replied.

We walked up to the left bridge thing. Kaito took the first step on the edge of it. As soon as he did, that edge started sinking, so he took his foot off and it went back to its normal state.

"Oh great! How are we meant to get across without sinking?" he said.

"Wait...when you stepped on it, the other bridge started sinking too, except that the other end of it was sinking. Let's do this then: you go left and I'll go right. That way, It'll balance out and we won't sink."

"Great idea! Only one thing, you weigh less than me, how will you even it out?"

"Good point..."

"Hold on" he walked up to a pile of bricks that were scattered on the ground. He picked 3 up and handed them to me. "This should even out the weight"

"Okay" Kaito walked up to his edge and I walked up to mine.

"Take each step when I say 'go', okay?" he explained. I nodded my head.

"Go!" We both took one step each. My bridge started shaking a bit, as did his, but we both maintained our balance.

"Go!" he shouted again as we both took another step.

"Go!" This time the bridge wobbled too much. Kaito maintained his balance but I couldn't. The bricks fell into the lava but I remained on the bridge on all fours.

"Len! Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm good."

Kaito's bridge started tipping forward and my bridge started tipping backwards. Kaito slid down but stopped himself from entering the lava by placing his foot against the wall on the other side. I tried my best to crawl up to the top of my bridge. Kaito hoisted himself onto the other side as I jumped off of the bridge and landed safely on the other side too.

"Are you okay?" he asked, a worried expression plastered on his face.

"Yeah. You?"

"Yeah."

~Rin POV~

"How the heck are we meant to do THAT?" Meiko asked.

"Look closely...at the pattern...the hammers are falling every 4 seconds..." I explained.

"...so all we have to do is keep in time with them..." Meiko finished.

We walked up to the first hammer.

"1, 2, 3, 4" I counted. My theory got proven right because just as I finished counting, the first hammer rose.

"Quick!" I shouted as we ran across and dodged the fire that almost burnt our backs.

"We shouldn't wait around for long. 1, 2, 3, 4!"

The hammer behind us fell as the hammer in front of us rose up and flames came shooting out from one side. We repeated our actions a couple of more times, dodging the hammers and carefully avoiding the fire. Soon, we made it across feeling a bit sweaty because of the heat and no injuries anywhere.

"Phew. Good job, Rin." Meiko awarded.

"Thanks"
