Gabriel leaves and minutes pass. Eventually, the voice tells them that it's Ivy's turn. She glances at Reese for a second, and then starts stepping forward. Her feet get stuck sometimes, and while she tries being carefully and fast, she can't help tripping a couple of times. She passes a dark-pink-ish colored flag, and then later on, a purple one. The mountain gets a bit steeper as she goes, but it's manageable so far. Ah, blue flags. That's about time. Ivy finds a sign, and when she moves in closer, she notices that it says 'PAIRS'. That must be her word. She memorizes it, and then walks around to find the others on the other side.

"Hi," she greets them, nodding. "I've found 'pairs'. Any ideas so far? What did you guys find?"

Then Ivy is off to climb the mountain and another few minutes pass. "Noisy girl is doen too. Another five minutes down, so that's twenty-four. Another twenty-one to go. Next up is opinionated!"

Beck sits down with Sam, and as Sam suddenly makes out 'Geneva' from the word 'avenge' and 'Athens' from the word 'hasten', Beck smiles as if he himself had solved the anagrams. ,,That's amazing Sam!'' Beck compliments him, and then Gabriel joins them and adds the word 'lardoon', which he directly converts into 'Orlando' - smart guy, Beck thought. But Beck really started to have confidence in this task.

Then Ivy joins them with word 'pairs'. Beck immediately smiles at her - she released him from the uncertainty of Sam's anagram-solving. He genuinely smiles at her, forgetting the little dispute they had earlier. ,,Great that you're here already! Sam did a great job solving the anagrams; it seems all of the anagrams are cities; Sams' is Geneva, mine's Athens and Gabriel's is Orlando. Guess what pairs is then?'' Beck chuckled. ,,Now we at least know what we're looking for!''

Beck looked up at the mountain. ,,We can only hope that the others make it in time...'' Not that Beck really cared: he was still in it to win it. But as for Zé, Dahsi and Isaac: they had proven themselves to be reliable and nice people. He didn't wish for them to get hurt. Reese was a different story, but, ah well.

Ivy adds in some words as well and then starts encouraging Sam. Huh. Reese had not expected Ivy to be the encouraging type, but maybe she's looking for an alliance or something. Meanwhile, Sam leaves and Zé continues to rage against Ivy and Reese. By this point, Reese is barely paying attention anymore, though.

Zé is just like a child throwing a tantrum; annoying, perhaps, but not particularly effective. Whatever Reese says won't matter, she won't convince Zé anyway, so she decides to just ignore her, aside from a dry "How very mature of you" in reply to Zé's wailing 'I don't want to hear any of it'. However, Reese does intend to watch her back around Zé from now on.

Anyway, the voice tells them that Sam has reached the other side. Beck and Gabriel soon follow and then Ivy's gone. Reese takes the radio out of her pocket and carefully puts it on the ground. "Someone else should probably take this; I don't know if you'll still hear the voice when someone's done if I take it with me, so." Reese then decides to prepare herself to go at any moment and stands ready at the edge of the pink zone. When the voice announces that Ivy's done and they've got twenty-one minutes left to go, Reese immediately starts running, ignoring the nickname he gives her.

It's like Reese estimated; it's very doable, and it isn't that steep. Besides, she used to do a lot of climbing when she was younger; this is nothing compared to hanging off the side of a roof by her fingertips while being pursued by some angry cop. (Yeah, not her best moment.)

She quickly passes the pink flags and into the purple zone. For a short moment, Reese considers intentionally slowing, simply out of spite, but then decides that she's not going to stoop that low. (Besides, it would be too noticeable and also the way to make sure that Zé puts an arrow in her head.)

So on she goes, until she reaches the top of the dark blue zone, where she sees a sign with the word 'solo' on it. Reese hurriedly moves to the side of the mountain, until she reaches the other side, while brainstorming over what 'solo' could be anagrammed into. She quickly goes from 'loos' to 'lo so' to 'lo os' and then figures out that it must be Oslo, since the other possibilities don't seem really likely.

Below her, Reese sees the rest of the group. She quickly descends, occasionally slipping a bit, until she reaches them. "Hi guys," she says with a vague smile, trying to gauge the mood. They don't seem desperate, so they're probably well on their way to solving the anagrams. "I got the word 'solo', which should probably be 'Oslo', because the other options are... well, not words in the English language. Did any of you get any city names?"

OOC: I just thought it would be fair to point out that xMissme actually solved the anagram thing, not me (but apparently Beck isn't smart enough xD)

Sam smiles at Beck and looks at Gabriel, who apparently overheard him and instantly converts his own word to Orlando. Okay, no European cities then, but still cities. "I think we can easily make this. As long as Zé is down here before the 45 minutes are over, we're fine. Since I'm 90% sure we solved the anagram puzzle."

Ivy joins them too and has the word 'pairs'. Before he can speak up to reply on her question, Beck is already talking. Sam doesn't really mind. He isn't a talker and he's getting used to the sound of Beck's girly voice. Instead he turns the piece of paper around to write down the answers to the anagrams. Geneva, Athens, Orlando and Paris.

He breathes out another drag of smoke, his fingers finally not trembling anymore as he looks at the mountain, his eyes searching for the next person to come down. Reese joins the group, who already translated her word by herself. Sam nods and hands her the piece of paper. "Here, these are our results. They're all cities." He smiles at her and then focuses on the mountain again. "Three to go.." He mumbles. "I hope Zé will be here in time."

Reese drops the radio on the floor and the voice unmistakably yells out an OUCH, but soon is back to his own self when Reese apparently has reached the other side. "Another four minutes have passed; seventeen left! Crazy girl is up." the voice instructs.

Dahsi watches as they one by one climb the mountain in order to get to their word as quickly as possible and suddenly it's her turn. She hears the radio, that Reese left behind, tell her she can go. They only have seventeen minutes left. Dahsi hopes that the rest have already solved the anagrams. Dahsi runs, as quick as her little legs can carry her, and starts to climb. She immediately feels a stinging pain in her hands. It hurts like hell to grab onto the stone and pull herself up further, but she forces herself to do it. She didn't want to be the reason for failing. She grinds her teeth together while doing so and it seems like forever reaching the purple zone, when she sees the purple flag. Then she slips and gets her foot stuck. "F*ck" she yells out frustrated.

She tries to pull her foot out, but it's kind of difficult, holding on for dear life on a mountain and all. Eventually she frees herself and notices that she's probably hurt her foot. This wasn't going very well. A big sigh of relief leaves her mouth as she finally sees the word 'MORE'. While continuing to climb, this time downwards to the other side, she just wants to get down as quickly as possible.

"MORE!" she yells "More is my word," she repeats arriving completely out of breath. She has no idea how long it's taken her to get here, seeing as she got stuck.

"Uh-oh. Another EIGHT minutes have passed. Only nine minutes left. You all better hurry! Your turn mr. Perfect!" he says amused.

Zé sighs. 'Whatever,' she mumbles. Reese and Ivy both soon leave to finish their task. The whole discussion was pretty pointless. Beck wanted to trade places with her and she shot his offer down. She just hates it those two are trying to make her look bad, while Reese was just saving her own ass. And Zé meant what she said. She is risking herself this once, next time, Reese can be the one put her sorry ass on the line. If Reese ever tries to pull stuff like this again -hey, you got wounded trying to pass the last task, let's give you up for the next one, since you're not worth as much as me anymore- she will at least punch her in the face. If not worse. And she'll make it hurt.

'When did Reese and Ivy become such close allies?' she then voices her thoughts aloud. Only Isaac is still there, so she's really just saying it to herself. But she wonders: why did Ivy stand up like that for Reese? Zé sure as hell wouldn't have done that for Reese, or anyone for that matter. She'd keep a low profile if the matter didn't concern her.

Soon, her thoughts are disturbed by the voice of the radio. 'Crap, only nine minutes left, hurry Isaac!' Zé is starting to feel very uncomfortable, she has a bad feeling about this. Damn! Why didn't she put her pride aside and switched places with Beck? Not that she wishes for Beck to get hurt, but still... Rather him than herself.

All people were really fast at the other side of the mountain. Except Dahsi , at a certain point she really seemed to struggle but it was to far to see what was happening up there.

When Zé says something about Reese and Ivy being close friends Isaac responds, even though it was not really a question for him :" Well I think Beck did stick up for you as well , didn't he ? You shouldn’t care about them much Zé."

Reese dropped the Radio so they could hear how much time was left. When it's finally Isaac's turn, the voice announces that there are only 9 minutes left. Dahsi clearly struggled quite hard. " gedoe, I'm sorry Zé , I hope I'll get there quick enough so that you have some time to climb as well, but I'm afraid you won't have time enough." . He smiles a sad smile and starts to run as fast as he can. He tries not to fall, but after some seconds his legs start burning again. Luckily his part of the mountain wasn't that steep. He only nearly fell twice. Then finally he reaches the other side. " I think Zé is in big trouble. We only had 9 minutes to get here both, what happened Dahsi ? I don't know how long it took me to get here, but I don't think it went that quick... You guys solved the anagrams already? If so, maybe Zé still has a chance." He spoke too much he knew, but this was real trouble, and he felt sorry for Zé. But on the other hand, it could mean he had more chance of winning.

The voice remains quiet during the conversation between Isaac and Zé and is left behind all by herself. "It's your turn missy. Isaac took three minutes. You have six minutes left and take me with you!" he demands

Apparently Isaac did it in 3 minutes? That was fcking fast. She's not sure she can do that. Her heart starts racing, she can feel the blood pumping through her veins. Zé already knows she's not going to make it. She doesn't need to climb a lot, but she already knows her shoulder is going to hurt like crazy. Zé starts running as fast as she can, only to realize she has forgotten the radio. Cursing loudly she runs back and punts the stupid thing in her pocket.

Zé is running as fast as she can, which turns out to be a very bad idea. She trips a few times and when the mountain gets a little steeper, her shoulder stings as she has to pull herself up. Zé is sure more than six minutes have passed when she sees the group on the other side. She tries to run to them as fast as she can, but she's already too late...

Dahsi takes a seat and ignores her throbbing ankle; it was probably strained, but they wouldn't have time to take care of it. She does breathe a sigh of relief as she notices the others have solved the anagrams. "That means mine is Rome," she adds. Geneva, Athens, Orlando, Paris, Oslo and Rome seemed about right. Thank god.

While she enjoys the sunshine, Isaac appears only a few minutes later and immediately inquires as to why Dahsi took so long. "My hands were killing me and my foot got stuck! I'm so sorry! I hope Zé will have enough time to get here." she explains sincerely. "Thankfully we've solved the anagrams already."

When Zé finally joins the others it seems she's already guessed the worst.

"You're ten seconds too late. This means you will have a severe consequence," he states with a very serious voice and suddenly gates surround them, like a jester in a box. "Your left arm will be broken and the fun part is... you get to decide who does it."

He waits a few seconds for the shock to sink in.

"Only when I receive the answer and Zé's arm is broken, will the gates be opened. Good luck."

And that's that.

Zé's mouth drops as she hears what her "disadvantage" is going to be. No fcking way. 'Are you serious?' she asks the radio as she takes it out of her pocket. 'Are you fcking SERIOUS!' she almost throws the stupid thing to the ground, but then realizes she'll probably get everyone, including herself, into more trouble by doing that. 'What is this? Some kind of sick joke? What does it get you that I have a broken arm?' she shouts.

'No way, I'm not letting anyone break my arm.' Right at this moment, she hates this. She hates the labyrinth, she hates the voice who seems to enjoy her pain. Zé knows that she'll eventually have to give in, otherwise they'd all starve in here. If she doesn't choose someone to do it, Reese or Ivy will probably gladly do it against her will. Helplessly she looks at everyone standing there.

She's not sure if she wishes she'd traded places with Beck, but it sure would have made this whole situation a lot easier on her. Really, she can point at anyone here and say hey, you, break my arm, will ya. Beck has proven himself to be a pretty good guy, but she doesn't think he would know what he's doing. But then again, would anyone know how to break an arm in the best possible way? If there's one person who would, it would probably be-

'Isaac, please don't make it hurt too much,' she sighs. She can't help it. She's frightened to death. Breaking an arm is not that bad, but it is when you what's coming. 'It shouldn't be too hard to do, I mean look at me, you can probably break me in two if you want...' She instantly holds her breath when she told him to do it. Goddamn, how she hates this stupid game. She's still deciding wether to close her eyes or to watch him do it.

Reese's city is Oslo, as she already figured herself. Then Dahsi is up, but she appears to be needing a little longer than the rest to get over the mountain. Poor Dahsi, Beck thought. He wished he could do something to help 'the injured' but, regarding Dahsi, Isaac and Zé, he decides not to feel compassionate. It was still a game, even though it had just started.

Isaac manages to make it in time too and only Zé had to pass the mountain. At that point, Beck is confident that they are all going to make it - which is, for the record, a good thing. However, the unimaginable happens. As Isaac and Dahsi already discuss Dahsi's dissapointing performance, Zé fails to make it, as she is ten seconds short. Ten seconds. Beck completely forgets about brilliant Sam and the anagrams. ,,Isn't that a bit strict?'' Beck mutters. What would Zé's punishment be, Beck then wonders. It couldn't be that worse, right?

The voice speaks up and gates suddenly surround the group. Just then, Beck realizes the cruelty of this joke. Breaking Zé's arm? Isaac? Beck, with disbelief in his eyes, glances at Isaac and then at Zé. How was he going to break her arm? With his bare hands? Beck frowns out of disgust.

Beck was on the other hand oh so happy Zé and he hadn't switched places. What if they were to break his arm?

Lupos · Volleerd Tovenaar **Woonplaats:** Over the rainbow

Isaac immediately gets a response from Dahsi. "Well lets hope Zé gets here in time, I hope your foot is all right ? " he answers.

When Zé arrives she's only 10 seconds out of time. But Mr voice has no mercy and Isaac gasps when he hears what punishment it was. Zé's arm had to be broken , he really pities Zé but Isaac is glad that he wasn't last. Zé is mad as hell, Isaac does understand that, who wouldn't be ?

Isaac thoroughly hopes he was not the one she would choose, but then Zé points him out. Him, out of all people , him. Isaac's face turns pale and he sees Beck is frowning in disgust, Isaac shudders. "Me? oh God gedoe...I don't know ...how?...Damnit... I can't...how?...". What could be the best way to break an arm, the elbow? Just make the joint of her elbow pop out? That would be easier to splint he guessed. "if I really have to... I'll pop the joint of your elbow, hope our Mr voice considers that breaking ? ". Isaac takes a deep breath and tries to stop his hands from shaking more and more.

They figured out the anagram, which pleases Ivy greatly. One by one, the others join them and their city-theory hasn't been refuted so far. At one point, Ivy scans the people around her, and notices that everybody but Zé is here. Would she make it, or would the disadvantage fall upon her? Ivy finds herself not quite giving two craps. And that's when Zé comes barging in, looking positively horrible. The voice lets them know that she was ten seconds too late (ouch!), and that her left arm has to be broken by someone in the group (OUCH!).

Ivy's face is unbiased and neutral as she stares at Zé reacting to this news. She starts yelling, and lets them know that she won't let anyone break her precious little arm. Then she falls quiet. Ivy can almost see little wheels turning in her head - Zé is probably realizing that it would be immensely unwise to ignore the voice's commands. "Isaac, please don't make it hurt too much." Plottwist! Ivy turns her head and looks at Isaac, wondering what he'll say, whether he'll agree. Beck finds it necessary to enlighten them with his disbelief, asking if that isn't a bit strict. Well. It's Zé, isn't it? Ivy didn't like people, and that's if they behaved perfectly fine. If they behave like Zé tended to (i.e: like an overgrown toddler, except more annoying and with an incredibly foul mouth)... Well.

Isaac reacts with the surprise and puzzlement one would expect from a person draped in incompetence. "Here's some friendly advice: break it clean in two," she dryly tells Isaac. "It could get nasty otherwise."
