The Caves

Subject: The Caves Wed Jun 19, 2013 12:05 am

A set of tunnels that go for miles down beneath the entire arena.

A large dark rock's shadow suddenly hardens. Its shadow appears to open, like a trap door.

Then, walking up some stairs of shadows, Pride walks out of the door.

He snaps his fingers and nature looks as natural as ever. Day light was still above him and he has several ideas swimming around in his head.

"Already I have 1 piece of the puzzle... I just need to find the others..."

He begins walking into the cave. His shoes click with every step on the hard rocky floor. He looks around and sees the light of several odd cave crystals.

He smirks..

"Just like the good old days..."

He continues down knowing of nothing to expect.

The wings of the butterfly that had entered through the entrance in the jungle, begin to glow faintly.

A Scarlet butterfly flutters behind Pride, keeping a safe distance, begins to pursue him.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:11 am

Pride's click of his shoes stop. He turns around and smirks

"It appears I'll be having more friends sooner than I wanted..."

Pride snaps his fingers and instantly the cave is coated in Pride's black. He begins walking towards the butterfly and speaking to it.

"You'd be quite surprised of what evil lurks in this arena. So many things unexplained..."

He smirks and snaps his fingers.

Instantly two sickles come from the ground and pierce the insect's wings.

"You'll do quite nicely for the future..."

Pride picks up the small bug and puts it into his pocket.

He snaps his fingers again, having the shadows around, below, and above him follow.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:21 am

The Scarlet Mormon twitches and laments over the injury of its beautiful wings.

The Ulysses butterfly flutters in patience waiting for T.C. to catch up.

The Scarlet Mormon butterfly, now in Prides pocket, begin to echo with a voice saying, "Secrets...? Sounds interesting. How about a duel? If I win, you tell me the secrets before you're life is sapped away, and if you win, I will lend you the last of my power."

*Throws in 5 flares
"Darn it all I want it to be as bright as the sun in here!"
*Looks at the man just standing there
"Hiya how's it going, I'm butterfly huntin Cool

."
"Man there was not a manly word in that sentence."
*Forms his duel disk back into a duel disk
"Hopefully we get along swimmingly"

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:29 am

The Ulysses butterfly that guided T.C. shines with a light, that illuminates the caves enough to keep the shadows at bay.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:30 am

"Coolio now I can see better Razz

"
*Takes out a tiny ziplock bag
"Now time to catch the dang butterfly!"

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:32 am

"I have no intention on dueling at the moment. Besides; wouldn't you much rather be on my team then duel?"

Pride continues down the endless corridors and hallways of rock.

"Hmph.. And what power do you even contain? You're nothing than a small little insect..."

Pride pulls out the bug and rips off one of its legs...

"Opps..."

Pride glares over towards TheCoolest.

"It appears you've brought a little friend too... Hmph."

The shadows all around them from and grit their teeth.

"And here I was; hoping for a little more privacy...

Pride snaps his fingers

"I've got work to do and you two wont stop me..."

Pride runs from the two towards a large bottomless cavern deep within the cave. He jumps down, leaving the two. It's darker than anything. No light can be seen, and no sound was heard of Pride.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:43 am

The butterfly in Prides pocket begins to jab into his leg with its proboscis.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:45 am

*Gets himself up from the floor
"Well....that was....interesting..."
"Did he just talk to a butterfly?"
*Looks to the deeper part of the cave
"Im not gonna go down there....."
*Proceeds to walk out of the cave
"Guess I gotta go find a duel soon cant hide out for long"

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:46 am

The Ulysses butterfly which guided T.C., flutters along with him.

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:52 am

*Turns around
"Nearly forgot"
*Takes out his ziplock bag and captures the butterfly
"Sorry little dude I don't have anything else to put you in for now"
"Guess you gotta stay immobile for a bit"
*Returns back to the Jungle

Subject: Re: The Caves Wed Jul 03, 2013 5:55 am

The soft glow of the crystals down below supply the perfect amount of light. Pride's shadows supply a soft landing.

Pride looks at his leg and sees what the wretched bug has done. He isn't phased even in the slightest. He rips it out by the wings and throws it at the wall. Immediately his philosopher stone glows and heals him. The butterfly is yet again stabbed with long sickles.

"I've had about enough of your foulness..... I need you for one thing..."

Pride snaps his fingers and smirks. Instantly his shadows begin inscribing themselves upon the ground, creating a small ritual circle. Small hands made of shadows grasp the insect and rip it into the ground.

Pride snaps his fingers again and the circle glows with red. He watches as the bug's small twitches slowly die.

A small ball of light is extruded from the center of the circle. Pride grabs it and smirks.

"So much awaits everyone in this place... They all know of such little..."

Pride smirks. He snaps his fingers and his shadows all recluse into him. He continues his way through the cave and leaves the small butterfly's carcass alone. Dead in the rock.

Subject: Re: The Caves Thu Jul 04, 2013 1:09 am

Pride continues walking deep through the caves, at quick pace. Deep enough in fact, that it would take others quite a while to reach him.

He continues until he suddenly stumbles upon a great wide open cavern full of waterfalls.

He looks around and scowls...

"Some one's been here before me....!"

He lets out a short scream and the entire facility is shaken with it. Instantly several rocks begin falling from the tall ceilings.

Pride's shadows come out and begin destroying the place in a fit of rage.

"HOW DARE SOMEONE TRICK ME LIKE THIS...?!"

Rocks begin being cut into two. Pebbles fly in the air from great explosions of shadows.

Then, it begins to calm. Pride's shadows all begin to form together in a pool, surrounding him. Pride begins talking to it...

"It's so sad that someone had to ruin our little fun... Isn't it? Besides... There's many sources of power on this island... The others just have to find it themselves... But they're too lazy to do that..."

Pride walks over to the waterfall's edge of the cave.

"And even if they were to find their own tools... Would they know how to use them...?"

Pride snaps his fingers and the pool of shadows all form over the water like a layer of glass. He begins walking over them.

"Who knows what any of these people are capable of..."

He glares over to the mess he's made..

"Maybe... I'll leave someone a little treat..."

He snaps his fingers and a large rock is precariously moved to just above the entrance.

"The moment someone walks through that door... They're in for a little surprise..."

Pride snaps his fingers again. A trap door opens in the shadows and he begins to walk down a set of shadow stairs.

When he finishes, the door shuts and the entire group of shadows merge together and merge with the surrounding debris. The area looks as usual. Pride leaves the area.

Comming from above, with a massive dustcloud, the ceiling collapsed, and crushed down on the spot. As the tremor silenced again, A girl, ravaged, climbed out of the rubble, covered in blood, and rolled over the pile, to come down on the ground. It took a couple second, before she let out a groan, and got up again. The blood remained, but the wounds had started healing rapidly. It took about 10 seconds for her to heal entirely. She looked up, and the hole she'd come down through, which had sealed itself already with large debree, and wondered what had caused her to go down this low.

Subject: Re: The Caves Fri Jul 05, 2013 7:54 am

reaper knew not to underestimate anyone. there was no way no one had been in here yet. and it would be a good place for them to stay but they would need to set up traps to protect them while they slept. due to the possibilities reaper climbed to the top of the cave and broke a hole in it with a scythe. then he jumped into the darkness of the cave below. Then he heard a crash as if the cave was collapsing in on itself.
He thought to himself
i knew this place would be trapped.. sounds like someone fell for it.... still they shouldn't be underestimated. lets go check it out.

almost instantly he reached a pile of rubble. rocks on it started to move.
reaper hid behind a rock to examine what was going on.
a girl crawled out of the rubble bloody and groaned.
at first reaper thought she would be an easy kill but then he realised what was going on.
she got up and her wounds healed nearly instantly.
she may be tougher than reaper first thought.

reaper stepped out from behind the rock.
"nasty fall you took there, but with the entrance sealed up looks like you're trapped down here... that is unless your willing to let me help you. what do you say? an alliance we work together and move on to the finals? or i could leave and you would be left down here to die. its your choice"

Subject: Re: The Caves Sat Jul 06, 2013 9:45 pm

"think about my offer i have some business to take care of, i'll be back at night fall to hear your decison"
reaper pulled out his scythe and hit the wall to cause some rubble to come off and hide him so he could't be followed.
he then ran back the way he came. once he got to the hole he made he jumped out and hung from it by his scythe. using his scythe he pulled himself up.
Now off to find thecoolest.

Subject: Re: The Caves Sun Jul 07, 2013 9:17 pm

She made her way through the entrance, not having heard the guy from before, or noticed, due to her ears still ringing. She got through, and headed towards the Jungle, figuring people would search for food there.

Rich crumpled to the ground at the mouth of the cave, gripping his heavily bleeding arm and gasping for air. "I need... To rest here for the night..." He slumped against the interior walls of the cave he had arrived at, exhaling heavily in relief and discomfort. His Slifer uniform was badly torn, and he had an obvious and rather extreme injury to his right arm, from which hung a Duel Disk and Deck. He gazed with glassy eyes down at his Duel Disk. "I... Need to stop this twisted event..." He mumbled, struggling not to slip out of consciousness.

Rich wasn't a competitor in these godforsaken games. He was an intruder. And he was here for every reward except victory. He had learned the truth of peoples' souls being taken in the game, and he knew immediately what he had to do. Cursing his softhearted mind, he had fought his way through the security forces and several layers of traps protecting this island, receiving several injuries from razor wire and particularly got shot in the water while swimming the rest of the way to the island, receiving his grievous arm wound.

Of course, they had no reason to pursue him further. After all, the other competitors would take care of this injured scrub soon enough, right?

Over Rich's dead body! ... Literally. Rich was now part of the games, but he had only one mission in mind. He knew the true reason behind the starting of the Hunger Games... But that didn't even matter anymore. All that mattered was that these twisted "games" came to an end with as little loss of life as possible. Was it Mission Impossible?

... Dunno. Guess we'll find out... Rich chuckled weakly to himself.

A large black hole opened in the caves' floor.

There's soft screaming until the three are practically throw upward out of the hole.

While air-born, the hole closes. The three land on the cave's hard floor.

All you hear is a, "...bother" and the group moans.

Pride gets up and brushes the dust off his shirt. He looks at the other two.

"I suppose it's a good thing we got away from the Volcano, huh?"

Subject: Re: The Caves Tue Jul 23, 2013 5:12 am

"Yes a very good thing." he smirked.

Subject: Re: The Caves Tue Jul 23, 2013 6:21 am

Pride's eyes open wide and he shakes awake, almost from a dream.

He begins screaming. The cave's stalagmites fall from the ceiling. Shadows crash into all rocks around. Pebbles blast in the air like cannons.

Pride continues.

"I WILL HAVE MY HANDS ON THAT BODY!!!! IF IT'S THAT LAST THING I BLOODY DO!!!"

Screams echo through out the entire cavern.

Pride rips his head to where Augusto is standing and practically launches his shadows at his body in a fit of rage.

"GET THE HECK OUT OF MY BLOODY CAVE!!!!!"

The most powerful of sickles are launched towards Augusto, there's nothing that can stop them.

Subject: Re: The Caves Tue Jul 23, 2013 6:26 am

Augusto turns into a snake and runs away from the sickles.

Subject: Re: The Caves Tue Jul 23, 2013 6:27 am

Droite hears the screams echoing through the caves. She continues her steady pace towards the source. Her eyes are as cold as ice. She keeps a stern gaze into the darkness. navigating with ease as if the entire cave was illuminated.
