The next morning, Kyoko woke and joined the rest, in exiting the airship. They were on top of a tower. When Kyoko heard the time limit, she knew it'd be tough. One man tried to climb down the tower, and was eaten by some mutant bird. Kyoko began to realize people were disappearing one by one, and began her own search for an entrance. She listened to her steps, and waited to hear a hallow echo. When she heard it, she raised her foot, and stomped, creating an indent as the door flipped, and she fell inside. Landing in a squat, she allowed been eyes to adjust. She saw a door with many locks, and stood up to approach it.
"Hello, welcome. You have the choice of going through the door, leading straight to your challenge, or going on the dirt path to your left, leading to an easier challenge. Getting through the door takes on average 48 hours, due to all the locks and process of removing them, and the challenge is difficult. The path would take on average 60 hours, due to it's maze factor. The challenge would take 5 minutes at most. Make your choice." The voice was gone. Kyoko decided now was the time to use her nen. She focused her aura in her fingers, and extended the aura out. It spread to each of the locks, and slipped into their keyholes. They all then simultaneously unlocked and the door opened.
"Don't lump me in with those other idiots." She mumbled, walking into a large room. "Soooo. Where's this difficult challenge?" She shouted into the room. There was one light in the middle, and the rest pitch black, there seemed to be an endless ceiling. She heard foot steps, and a man appeared in the light, dressed in some sort of rag and his hands bound. Kyoko took slow steps forward.
"Hello. In order to pass, you have to beat all of us in one on one battles. Every hour we take of your time, is a year off our sentence, we're the prisoners of this tower." The lights came on, the room she was in was in fact an arena. There were 10 more people dressed the same on the other side. "Begin." He stated. His cuffs came off, and he pulled the rag over his head. He was bald, his eyes were black and the left one was a lazy eye. He was tall and lanky. His laugh was that of a clowns.
"Are you scared yet?" The man asked.
"You're a waste of space." She muttered, walking towards him. "You had potential when you were a child, but you threw it away, and now all you are is trash polluting this earth. A good for nothing, weak, helpless piece. of. trash." She finished, now standing before the man. He was looking at her with a blank face.
"That may be true, but you're gonna be fertilizer." He said. He went to hit her, but she disappeared.
"You underestimate me because I'm a small girl, but in fact if i wanted to, I could send you all to hell in 3 seconds." She reappeared and punched the man in the face. "But I'm not a big fan of killing unless my opponent is a real threat. Send the next one out." this went on for an hour or so, at first she was taking it serious, but around the 7 person she was just playing with them, letting them think they had won, and then attacking. They were now at the last person. She stepped into the arena, her hood and cuffs already gone. She had blue hair and a scarf.
"Yo. You're gonna die here." She said.
"Might as well have some fun, you're nothing but a waste of space as well." She said with a wild grin. In a matter of nano-seconds, Kyoko was directly in front of the girl, hold her by her face. She lifted the girl and slammed her into the ground. Kyoko backed up, allowing the girl to stand once more. A minute later, the girl was on her feet, and Kyoko's grin grew wider, and wilder.
"You're gonna pay for that." The blue haired girl muttered. Her scarf had started moving, and shimmering. Kyoko watched the scarf transform into a snake.
"What the hell.." She whispered, pulling out her daggers. The blue haired girl laughed, and the battle begun.
