>>ooc:I edit it cuz vld said to now I got to edit it again...I had it good the first time...ugh<<

See what happens when you don't listen to each other..

Ryu was a bit pissed off when Tenma turned down his idea. RYu had to stay calm and not panic, as how Jin was. The door would shut close if the barrier was lifted or at least that was told of this trap. Jin used all his might to keep the door open long enough so that Vldorian can come out safe and through the door, but it wasn't that easy. Jin's feet dug into the dirt floor as he kept his feet planted keeping the door open.

The door was closing in as Vldorian got out. He was on the other side which took out more time. Vldorian quickly swam to the other side. About half way to getting to the side his team was on Jin was about out give out. Ryu got a grip on the door and began to push it open. Ryu used his shoulder on to push it open. He didn't see if Tenma had help or not.

Com'on Vldorian get through the door.



I mentioned this to Saki and Raive mentioned this to Saiyuki, but we can't fly by the traps like that. We've gotta expand the posts a bit more on each trap or these traps will go by like dust in the wind. The trap can't end just yet. You haven't edited it yet, so I just removed the final paragraph. The rest is just fine.

Oh, you saucy temptress...
OOC: Vld was confused about the situation, so I'll make an ooc for all three of you. We're all still one the same side of the door as Vldorian. None of us are on the other side.

IC:
Tenma quickly dashed toward the door Ryu was struggling to hold back, bullrushing straight into the closing slab of rock. Upon impact, the door shook slightly, but made no motion of slowing down. Tenma tried holding the door back, but it was too heavy. They were not prepared for Vldorian's plan. From the corner of his eye, Tenma could see Vldorian finally resurfacing and making his way to the door, but it was only a few inches from shutting. The door slammed shut regardless of Ryu, Jin, and Tenma's efforts to hold it back. Tenma dropped to the ground, leaning against the wall as he closed his eyes for a second. The group was still unaware of how Vldorian managed to get out of the water so soon after re-hitting the switch. Vldorian surely could not swim that fast, especially without chakra. The only plausible answer was that Vldorian made a crude counter trap to escape. However, it was up to Vldorian to tell the group what he did so that they could prepare for when Vldorian tried to spring the trap again. Tenma stood up, pulling out a wire. He did not turn to Ryu, but would acknowledge his attempt now. Before, Ryu's trap was not plausible. How on Earth could they get the wire to Vldorian before? He was about 30 feet below them. Now they could put Ryu's idea into motion. It wouldn't help much as Vldorian was rather large and too heavy to pull, but it was something.

I still think this idea won't work. We'll be too busy straining miserably to hold the door from shutting. We wont have enough energy to pull him up at the same time. If Ryu wants to try it, it's always helpful to have some sort of plan at least.

Tenma handed Vldorian one side of the wire, walking toward Ryu as he handed him the other side wire. Ryu could go for whatever plan he wanted now with said wire. Now Vldorian had to explain his trap. Tenma stood patiently, glowering at Vldorian as he waited with a hint of impatience.

A brilliant failure
Vldorian sighed as his plan failed but none of them knew about it so it would not have worked he saw. As Tenma handed him some wire Vldorian thought for a second and then came up with an idea, he then handed the wire back to Tenma.

“Tenma I’ll go back in the water and activate the switch, and when the door is fully open use the wire attach it to the door and with kunai attached to the other end of the wire imbed it in the wall. That should slow it down a little and then all three of you get on the other side of the door and push. Hopefully that will give me enough time to get up. Hit the barrier when your ready to go on, I can hold my breath for around a minute and a half.”

Vldorian would u use his spring activation of the switch again when he heard the noise his teammates were exposed to make. He walked to the edge of the water and sat down for a couple minutes getting a little of his energy back. He then stood up, took a deep breath of air, and then dived into the water heading towards the switch. Once he got into position he found the springs and then hit the switch. It was up to them now as he set the springs and waited.

Jin tried holding the door open with almost all of his strenght. He didnt want to get too worn out. Besides he knew there was more to this mission then a golem and a single trap. Either way Jin, Tenma, and Ryu could not manage to open the door back up. They would need a new different and more intellgent way of doing this.

Jin took a step back and began to turn around seeing Vldorian behind him. He was very suprised to see him up this quick Looking at him all wet he wondered how he got up this quick. He listened to Vldorian talk to Tenma who he had been playing catch with wire...

" umm i think i know what he just said. i'll have to make sure though"

JIn walked over to Ryu looking at the wire thinking of his old plan which Tenma denied. He wanted to make sure he got this straight so he didnt mess it up for them. It would only become a hastle if they had to do it a third time. Jin turned his head in Ryu's direction and asked

" umm what did he just say? "

ooc: I'm going to try to edit the post before if I have time

ic: Ryu was not too surprised with this plan. He figured the wire would snap and the door would shut with Tenma, Ryu, and Jin on the other side leaving Vldorian to re-do this until he was set free. It wasn't going to stop Ryu from trying his best to push the door open, enough for Vldorian to get through.

"Should of went with my second plan"(ooc:will be in previous post that I originally had)

Again Ryu spoke so that no one could here him. Tenma was preparing the wires. Jin was right beside him asking Ryu a question. Ryu figured he'd have a questioned look on his face as to what Ryu's plan was.

"Instead of wasting the wire and energy. Just tie the wire and kunai to the switch at the bottom of this pool and once down there Vldroian can tie it to the switch and get out and the we pull the switch and were out. It saves a lot of energy."

It should work...it's better than any other plan...

OOC: Vldorian did not really explain the spring trap idea for the switch, but for the sake of getting somewhere in this, we can assume he did mention it.

IC:
"That depends on the switch..."

Tenma vaguely made out Ryu's mumbling to Jin, but left it at that as he went back to work, trying to find a way to secure a kunai to the door. He could simply pierce it, though if the door was strong enough, which it certainly seemed like it was, then it would just yank the wire free from the kunai. Once Vldorian went back down and hit the switch though, they would have to pierce another kunai into the wall of the otherside of the door. They couldn't progress with their counter trap till Vldorian hit the switch and opened the door.

Ryu's second plan is much better than his first one, there's no doubt about that. However, if the switch is merely a button, which from Vldorian's spring trap idea, it does seem like a button, then securing a wire to the button wouldn't be plausible and just waste effort. Vldorian never explained what type of a switch it was...... what are we getting ourselves into...

The door swung open, a sign of Vldorian's success at reaching the bottom again. The barrier slammed shut from above again as the three of them went to take their positions. Pulling out his sword, Hogetsu, he pierced the ground, digging deeply into the stone as far as he could force it down, and then tied a wire to it. Pulling out a second wire, he attached it to the initial wire, then attaching a kunai to the other end of the second wire and piercing the wall with it. Tenma walked over to the steel barrier as he stomped three times. Immediately, he dashed to the stone door, leaping and sending a jump spin side kick to the center of the door, halting its sudden rapid close for a second. Slamming into the door again, he began aiding Jin and Ryu in holding the door open. From the corner of his eye, he could see Hogetsu slowly wriggling its way free from the ground and the kunai slowly wriggling free from the wall.

You better hurry...


OOC: Vld brought this to my attention lol, thank you Vldorian. The mod will finish up each trap in his own post. It's your job to make it hard for me to keep the trap going. Do whatever u can in ur posts to escape the trap and make it hard for me to keep the trap from being countered.

Had Vldorian heard Ryu, he would have warned him about the type of switch. Either way, the trap was going in motion now. He had the springs set under the handle of the switch to push it into the up position, which would then trigger the trap but in reverse. He heard the taps and then let go, shooting towards the edge of the water where the barrier would first open. The springs hit and then the barrier moved and Vldorian jumped out of the water. He started to run towards the door seeing the wire slowing the door down just a bit and then his teammates holding the door. He was sprinting towards the door and it seemed like he would make it but then the wires snapped and the door started to close. Even with the combined strength of Tenma, Ryu, and Jin the door wasn’t slowing down much. Vldorian pulled out the two wrist blades he had put in his shirt when he had taken the springs out and threw one of them at the bottom edge of the door. The first one stuck acting like a wedge of a couple of seconds and then he threw the next one right above the hinge in the door. He hoped that it would get caught up In the gears or whatever was forcing the door to close. The door had a foot to go before it closed and Vldorian was jumped turning his body sideways heading for the closure.

OOC: sorry posting or even getting home to use the computer has just becmoe a slight hastle with school and swim. shouldnt happen again, but if i do post it will be after 7 PM Eastern Time. Plus im sorry its kinda sort.


IC:

Jin arose to his feet seeing the plan in action. He wasnt too sure of the oddis of this plan of working. It was simple wire kuanis and a sword. Jin figured one of this things would ruin their plan. He guessed the kunai, but the wire gave out first.

The one wrist blade flew out of the gears nearly slicing Jin. He turned his attention to where it went and it seemed like no one was hurt by it. Jin noticed how strong those gears were and how unlikly they would be able to stop it that way. The only way they could oly get through this was speed. There was almost nothin stopping the door at this point. Jin's feet were sliding as the door kept closing. Jin's fingers began to slip the the bottoms edge. He looked back to see if Vldoian was close as he moved his hands foward getting a better grip of the door

uhh. its only a matter of time. Why is this so heavy? C' mon Vldoian.

OOC: haha yea not a problem Hero i got a PM from Dem saying about the same thing and i comfired it with Vldorian since he reminded Demonicus. Thank you for reminding me though. I didnt have much to say. If another edit it nessicary just say so

OOC: California weather = No power = Not able to post. Sorry for the wait. Ryu has resigned from the event for his own reasons. Thank you for posting with us, Ryu, it was fun. I hope to see you around later.

IC:
Tenma struggled as he tried his best to keep the door from shutting. For strong wires, they snapped fairly quickly as the door pulled against it. He assumed the kunai would merely slip off, but they did not even have the chance. The wires took the blunt of the attack. Tenma looked around. No rocks or boulders to put in the way of the closing door. Vldorian was almost there. They just had to hold on a bit more. Tenma looked around once more, his eyes failing to find anything. Taking a deep front stance, he pulled with all his strength as his foot touched something. Turning, his eyes fell upon his trusted blade, Hogetsu. A quick idea came to his mind as he recalled a match with Enrai. She tagged Hogetsu several times and each time, it managed to take the hit decently. It was Kin's gift to Tenma and proved faithful each time. Hopefully it would work again. Turning around, he ripped Hogetsu from the ground, slamming it between the door and the wall in an attempt to keep it open. The tip of Hogetsu instantly chipped off as Hogetsu began to slip from place. Tenma grabbed the blade, holding it like a block of wood to keep the door from slamming shut. It was all Tenma could do to keep the door open now. Vldorian, as large and broad-chested as he was, would have to make the tight squeeze. Hogetsu remained faithful as it held the door in place, the black metal slowly chipping off from the pressure of the door. Wind flew passed as Vldorian made the leap, obviously scraping his back and chest from the narrow squeeze. Pulling Hogetsu through, the door slammed shut, Jin most likely having let go since Vldorian leaped through.

That was too close... he must be tired after two swims down to such depth, back up, and then the running back and forth. Not to mention holding his breath for so long. He might be dizzy............. he better get his act together soon, we're moving on...

OOC:

The next trap:

Thin Ice
The floor is made entirely of ice, but certain parts are weakened so when someone steps on them, the ice breaks away. Below are ice spikes, sharp and plentiful in number. The group must get across the ice, but at the same time, the ice is melting faster and faster which means the floor is becoming weaker and weaker. The room is a good twenty feet long. If the group still manages to avoid the ice spikes, the definite damage will come from the sheer cold temperature in the room.

Blood ran down Vldorian’s chest and back as he crashed to the floor coming to a skidding stop. He did not bother getting up for the next couple of minutes his muscles hurt, he was gasping for air, and cold from the water. He laid on his back looking up at the ceiling until he was breathing right, then he pushed himself up with his arms, to a sitting position. Suddenly looking around to found that Ryu was no longer with them, not realizing it when he had jumped that Ryu had been on the other side of the door pulling, trying to provide more time. Knowing that they would not try to get another person threw the door he hoped that Ryu would head back to the entrance. He kept sitting giving his muscles a few seconds of relaxation.

“Give me a couple minutes and I’ll be ready to go…”

He said this almost as if reading Tenma’s mind and after a few minutes, he stood up. He had to get his clothes dry, all he could do was ring them out, but he had nothing in which to do it well with so he would have to survive with them like this until later. Tenma took the lead once he gave the signal that he was ready to move and as they did it became colder and colder. It took them a little while to arrive in a cavern and when they looked around, they realized why it was getting colder and colder. His body had been getting stiff from the cold but as they stepped into the room his body seemed to freeze. It was like Takai’s cold and what made it worse was that it was everywhere, ripping into their bone. It was colder then anything Vldorian had felt before and he was the worst off, his clothes were frozen around his body. Very little time until remained until his body would go into Hypothermia induced shock and shut down. The others would follow not long behind him, they had to get threw this and fast!
