Jinko seemed to have been separated from the rest of the group on his way through the portal. As he looked back, it seemed to have disappeared behind him. "Well, guess I can only go forward from this point." As he spoke, he was already moving forward towards the exit. Things, however, were not exactly working in his favor. He began to hear a strange voice that seemed to be calling out to him. "Who are you? Why are you here?" His response was a bit edgy. "Who I am is none of your business, nor is my reason for being here. Show yourself." A hazy image seemed to present itself to Jinko. "We are the remnants of those that were lost during the attack by Legion." "Alright, but what do you want from me?" "To destroy Legion" "Seems like a rather tall order." "Just do it. Legion still lives, you must destroy it." "Kinda pushy aren't we?" "It does not matter. Do you accept?" "Sure, why not?" The hazy image then did something unexpected. It seemed to merge with his systems, Everything he was wearing seemed to be a bit lighter. His speed had also picked up a bit. He dashed through the cavern, being careful to avoid any traps that he noticed.

Li-Pink simply went through one of the passages, not really regarding his surroundings thoroughly, but he did in fact pay attention for anything that looks like it was added to his surroundings.

"-let"
Bulwark looked around, confused about the room he was in. The group had been separated, which didn't bide well for the defensive Navi. An exasperated sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the paths before him. There was really no saying what direction would lead him out, but he was decently sure that the path in front of him was a trap. It was way too obvious for the slightly paranoid Navi, so he shrugged and took the path to his right.
Kosoku wouldn't put much thought into his decision. His friends had been separated from him, and it was up to him to navigate as quickly as he could to find them. He was still pumped up from his battle, and he wasn't about to slow down. Taking a full sprint toward the path in front of him, Kosoku made a mad dash to find his way through the next challenge.

Jinko made good time through the tunnel like path he had chosen, avoiding the randomly scattered obvious traps that had been present. But these were easily noticed and avoided, anyone falling for one would have had to have been a fool. But soon he could see what looked like an exit to this tunnel, and as soon as he was in the doorway, he saw the room before him.
This room was massive, easily 30 feet to the ceiling from where Jinko stood, and from the ledge he found himself on 10 feet below him was what was the floor...well if you called it that anyway...it was carpeted in razor sharp spikes crackling with energy. Obviously not a pleasurable experience for anyone to fall. The ceiling was riddled with massive stalactites, easily twice his size. The ledge the doorway was on lined this side of the roomx but there was at least a 50 foot gap to the other side. The wall to Jinko's right seemed lighter colored then the rest of the rock around him, but no other noticeable differences. The path behind Jinko slammed shut, locking him in and leaving him with only the option of finding a way across...
---------------------
Bulwark moved along in relative silence, other then his foot steps echoing through the hall. There seemed to me no traps or anything that he had seen as he moved forward, but after a couple of minutes, that was about to change. Suddenly a giant slab of rock fell inches behind him cutting off his retreat, throwing dust up around him, followed by another slab fell about 20 feet down the hall. Even though he was effectively trapped, he was safe...at least until a gap in the ceiling opened up and began to flood the small area. The water rapidly climbed to his knees, and was steadily climbing...
-----------
Kosoku was for the most part lucky, his rushing head long at a full sprint managed to allow him to avoid several falling spikes as he traversed his path...but soon even those stopped and he continued on fairly safe from danger. Soon though he too came to a large room and as soon as he passed the doorway in, it slammed shut and sealed its self.
Where Kosoku now stood was a small platform that was just large enough to stand on. Infront of him was a vast pit, the depth of which was unknown, and best to remain that way. Far on the other side he could make out the path that continued on, but he had nothing but empty air between the two sides of the room. That was until several floating platforms appeared briefly before vanishing once more. They continued doing this, but always seemingly showing up at random spots, in no determinable pattern at all. To his left was what looked like a old ruined control panel. Probably explaining the erratic platforms. What could he do about it now though?
---------------
Li-pink made it through the path he wandered into with little trouble, pretty uneventful much like bulwarks choice had been. But he had no problems with a watery tomb, he reached the end of his tunnel safely. But before he could pass through the door way, a grid of electrical energy formed a grid over the opening, barely room to fit a finger through, let alone walk past. Instantly a access terminal opened up from the rock beside the opening, a keypad with the numbers 1 to 0 on it. Above it a strange word, was etched into the rock. "SAGPOZI". The small screen had not only a count down starting at 99, but there was a line with 11 asterisks, a hint at the length of the key code probably. What will happen when the timer hits 0 though? It was already down to 92...
----------
Ooc: unless he changed his mind omega said he could come up with Rik's challenges
Rikaru appeared in his room, alone. He wasn't upset, heck he was almost happy. He quickly looked around at the 4 choices in direction he could go, and decided if he was making this he would make the best route the least likely, so he turned and began down the path that was behind him...keeping a wary eye out for anything strange....

Li-Pink stared at the door and the key-code, and back again and then again to the word upon the rock. It took him a brief moment, but then after staring at the keyboard again he muttered to himself about the possible combinations and the mathematical chances of guessing the number correctly.
(A one in 285,311,670,611 chance to guess it right. Assuming the numbers repeat. But none of the letters repeat. Maybe...) 1-9-1-7-1-6-1-5-2-6-8.
Each number he stated was the button he pushed.

Jinko noticed that the wall to his right was a different color than the other walls, and figured there would probably be some sort of switched gravity field placed on it, which would likely allow him to walk along it to the other side. To test this option, he placed a foot against said wall. "Hope this works."

Bulwark covered his face as dust flew up. He quickly looked around and found himself trapped in the hallway, but his attention would quickly be diverted to the falling water from the ceiling. His mind raced as the hallway began to fill with water. How was he supposed to get out of this mess?
A solution would evade Bulwark's thoughts, but a temporary fix would be just within his mind's grasp. He placed his hands in the water as his palms touched the ground below. Even though water was up to his knees, he could feel dirt particles rolling beneath his fingers. The feeling would change to that of glass as a pillar appeared beneath him, raising his body up towards the ceiling. He raised himself high enough for him to be able to touch the ceiling, which he did accordingly. A barrier appeared over the hole where the water was originating to dam it up. The barrier seemed to hold, which was a good sign to Bulwark. He gave a sigh as he lowered himself back to the ground.
The water had risen quickly. By the time Bulwark had stopped the water's flow, it was already up to his waist. He took the time to look around to see if there was anything he missed. The hallway looked locked up pretty tight, which meant his only hope for escape had to be by one of the doors. He waded through the water towards the far door, hoping to find some kind of clue...
Kosoku stared across the gap.
"There's no pattern to this...this...thing."
Score one for Kosoku. He had watched as platforms appeared and disappeared out of nowhere, trying to see if there was an easy way across. He must have stood there for 5 minutes before coming up with his brilliant conclusion. Even if there had been a pattern, the likelihood of Kosoku being able to follow it were slim to none. He didn't even notice the control pattern on the side before he prepared himself to jump across on the platforms.
Kosoku took a few steps back before running at full sprint towards the gap. He took a mighty leap at a platform that had just appeared, landing on it with ease. He kept his pace as he repeated the pattern across the gap. Lucky for Kosoku, his speed allowed him to run across most of the platforms before they disappeared. However, his overconfidence would outdo his luck.
As he ran across the last platform, it disappeared right as he was about to jump. The end result sent Kosoku falling through the platform, into the bottomless pit. He acted quickly, rotating his body and sucking up as much air as he could into his lungs before unleashing a massive burst of wind. The force pushed his body upward onto another platform, but before he could prepare himself for another jump towards the end of the gap, the platform vanished. At the last second, Kosoku left an after image of himself in the air as he was teleported toward the far ledge. He teleported again, barely in reach of his destination. His arm reached out to grab the ledge, barely touching it with his hand. Kosoku's grip wasn't all that firm, but he had grabbed it nevertheless. He pulled himself up with his other hand, sitting down after getting to solid ground. Kosoku gave a nervous smile as he spoke to himself.
"Ha ha...nothing can stop me..."
He stood up and continued his sprint through the labyrinth.
Rikaru's path would be rather peaceful. There weren't any trap or abnormalties for awhile, but as Rik would continue, shapes would begin to appear where he walked. First a triangle would appear, then a square, followed by an octagon. Each shape was spaced out by about 10 feet before the pattern would repeat.
Triangle.
Square.
Octagon.
The pattern seemed as endless as the hallway that Rikaru walked. The hallway seemed to repeat itself the more he walked, but the pictures on the floor stayed the same. Each of the shapes generated a strange amount of data, but weren't triggered by his footsteps. What were they for?

As soon as Li pink finished entering the code, the count down stopped. Then a soft beep was heard, and the sound of stone grinding against stone as the door opened once again.
Infront of him the path continued on for awhile, and then visible was a fork in the path. Which way would he go?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kosoku was lucky to have gotten out when he did, suddenly as he rushed forward he could hear the door slam shut that he had passed through moments ago. Now though he was safe in the winding path. At least it was safe for now anyway.
Soon he came to what looked like a small lift at the end of the tunnel. On a small panel there was three colored button, one yellow, another was purple, the last black. What they did was a mystery, but it looked like the lift light have been able to go up or down from where it was, based on the slight gaps around the lift and the rock floor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bulwark was examining the door still, as the pressure of the water being held back began to wear at the rock ceiling. Cracks formed and water began trickling out slowly.
The results of his examining didn't turn up much as far as the door was concerned, it looked like it was always part of the tunnel he had been in. But there were strange symbols etched into the wall next to him. It looked almost like a message but in a language lost to time.
Before he could spend much time thinking about what they might have been, or ment, the opening he had covered suddenly burst open and poured water in even faster them before. The rock around the barker had broken away, making the barrier do little more then make the water spill around it. Time was running out, what could he do?
~~~~~~~~~~~
Jinko put his foot on the wall, and seemed to stick or was his mind playing tricks? Then with a slight hum that seemed to come from under his foot........nothing happened. That is until a second or two passed, then suddenly the wall burst forward, rocks and dust spraying his face.
There was now a opening in the wall, but it only led to a small room barely bigger then a closet, and seemed empty. The pit of spikes under the rows of stalactites still waiting, almost taunting him. Nothing else had changed in the room other then the wall exploding outwards, what was that about anyway?
~~~~~~~~
. Rikaru kept moving, noting the symbols that he passed. He wasn't sure what they ment, but he had a feeling they were important somehow. He stopped on top of the triangle symbol and looked around hoping to see if anything gave him a clue.
Nothing seemed to catch his attention and he pressed forward and continued stopping at each symbol as he came to it, and examined the area around him each time, hoping he could find some clue as to what they were for...

((OOC: Matrix time!~))
Jinko decided that since the wall exploded outward where his foot had stuck after 2 seconds, he had a short timefrme in which to move it. "Alright, lets go." He then attempted to run along the wall to reach the other side, being careful to move fast enough to avoid the wall exploding under him.

Pink, the ONLY Li who wouldn't have been able to go down two roads at once, perhaps Yellow too, but definitely Pink wouldn't be able to do it. So he went down the left path after not even breaking his stride after he left the doorway that was sealed off just moments ago.

With few options at his disposal, Bulwark decided to move his attention away from the door. He wasn't going to get through that way, unless he understood Latin or whatever was written on the wall. The water quickly began to rise again as his spirits fell, but he wasn't about to give up. Since pushing forward wasn't an option, and going back was out of the question, the only thing Bulwark thought to do was go up. Swimming his way towards the whole in the ceiling, he dove down and placed both of his hands on the ground, creating another pillar to lift him up. He held his breath as best as he could as his body rose up through the whole and into god-knows-where.
Kosoku stared at the lift and the panel in the middle. It was pretty straightforward and simple what they did, but Kosoku was suspicious. It seemed too easy, but the overenthusiastic navi's CPU didn't work the same way as a normal level-headed navi's. Deeming that "thinking about it" was too much work and not going to help, he stepped into the elevator and just pressed random buttons. Maybe it was good enough?
Rikaru stood on the triangle just long enough to trigger an effect. Before he knew it, he was falling through the floor into a hallway identical to the one he was in previously. The hall, however, looked distorted and incomplete. There were parts of the area that Rik would be able to see through, although there was just a vast void of nothingness outside of the hallway. It also looked like someone had thrown paint around the room, although the same three shapes would remain the same. It was obvious that the data in this part of the server had been corrupt. Perhaps standing over another shape would send him somewhere else...
Just as the masked Navi entered the Room of Shadows (clones, whatever), we would immediately be met with a copy of himself being destroyed instantly by a mysterious figure. He was extremely precise and moved in a deadly manner, if such a thing was possible. He stared at the Navi that had just come through, examining him from head to toe. There was silence for awhile before he spoke. "...Leave now. You do not belong here."
