Almost as soon as the gate has closed behind the group, the voice once again starts speaking. This time Dahsi does not like what she hears. Not even a little bit. Then the lions appear and her first instinct is to run away as fast as her legs can carry her. But she's stuck; they're all stuck! She feels her heart racing in her chest, completely terrified. Pull yourself together! You can do this! she tells herself. The weapons appear, and Dahsi scrambles to grab a chain. She sure as hell wasn't going to be bait and she sure as hell was not going to stab the lions. The voice counts down. Dahsi moves to the right side, against the wall and pulls Ivy, who's carrying a knife, with her. Dahsi drops everything she's holding, including the map. Yes sure they would need it, but survival was also quite important.

"Zé, move to the left wall! We need to take them down from the sides!" she yells "Only the people with spears should remain in the middle!"

The gate has been lifted completely and Dahsi notices how one of the lions charges with all its might at Reese and another one at Sam.

"NOW!" she screams. She jumps mid air and lands on one of the lions.

Some of the others start picking up weapons, and the tight, scared feeling in Reese's chest somewhat lessens. They can do this. Hopefully without getting anyone eaten. She takes a deep breath and notices that Ivy has moved closer to her. Reese gives her a tense smile and feels a bit better, knowing that Ivy has her back. Sam looks nice, and Reese is grateful that she's not the only one on distraction duty, but he doesn't look like he'd able to handle a lion, while Ivy tends to look like she can handle anything.

Dahsi decides that the best strategy is to leave the people with spears in the middle. Reese really doesn't like that, considering that that would leave Sam and her as the first targets and those lions will jump at Reese and Sam first, but it's too late to change it - the cage is completely open now, and the first of the lions comes charging at Reese.

Cursing, Reese points her spear forward and decides to keep moving. She does not want to get locked in one position - if the lion traps her, it's over. The lion has almost reached her, but it winces and moves backward when she stabs him with her spear. Dahsi takes that moment to jump on the lion and Reese decides that that woman must either be incredibly brave or completely insane, or possibly a combination of the two.

Reese is dimly aware that there are two other lions out there that she should also be paying attention to, but for now she is having plenty of trouble with this one. The lion bucks to get Dahsi off and Reese would be amused by the visual if it weren't for the fact that she has slightly more important things on her mind right now. Like, not getting eaten would be nice.

The lion roars and, still trying to get Dahsi off, comes charging again. For the second time, Reese holds him off with the spear. "Could really use some support now!" she yells in between stabs, hoping that Dahsi will be able to keep holding on.

When the voice starts speaking again, Gabriel listens carefully not to miss anything what is said. Well he didn't expect that he would fight massive lions in his life, and one of the things that concearn him, is that the voice sounded quite amused. Gabriel doesn't see this really as amusement, risking peoples lives.

When weapons fall out of the sky Gabriel grabs a knife as quickly as possible. Reese and Sam start distracting the lions in which Dashi ushes to jump on one of the lions. Well Dashi certainly have a heroic attitude, so if she wouldn't make it, she will die like a hero right. Gabriel tries to keep the lions in sight so not one of them will attack them in a sudden move.

Unfortunately a knife is in no use for a good distraction, so he'll have to wait when the lions are down and then finish them off with the help of Ivy. Maybe he should throw his knife towards Dashi, so she can stab him from up there. But probably the risk would be to great.

They had to fight lions? Lions? This wasn’t really the excitement Beck was looking for. If number three was fighting lions, then what would they be doing – or fighting – at number ten, or higher? How many numbers were there again? Oh, of course. Beck hadn’t been paying attention to the map. But there were probably plenty. And number three was fighting lions. ,,Are they seriously starting with fighting lions?’’ Beck complained, trying not to sound shocked – and afraid. But his complaints were a little late; the group was already locked up in here and was already starting the fight.

Reese grabs a spear and comes up with a plan – a seemingly quite convenient plan for herself, since the people with the spears didn’t have to actually touch the lions. But most people seem to agree with her plan and grab their weapons as well: Ivy (what a surprise) and the still unknown guy pick up the knifes, Sam gets his hands on a spear and Zé and Dahsi grab the chains.

There isn’t much time to think, as two of the lions already start attacking – one of them charges at Reese and the other at Sam; since Dahsi decides to handle the lion attacking Reese, Beck grabs the last remaining spear and approaches the lion attacking Sam from the side, trying to stab him wherever he could. People might think of Beck as girly, but at least he was a lot braver than most people – and Beck knew he was. Luckily, Beck still played a lot of tennis; it kept him fit.

,,Move your feet!’’ Beck orders Sam; if the guy wouldn’t do something soon, the lion would tear him apart – and when it came to Sam, there wasn’t much to tear apart; he was just skin and bones. Beck then turned to the nameless guy, who didn’t seem to be going to do anything soon. ,,And you, don’t just stand there. Give us a hand already!’’

When the gates close behind them, Isaac starts breathing heavily, this doesn't seem like a very joyful challenge. It was really hot now and some growling seems to come out of the jungle.

Then the voice starts speaking again. And he does sound pleased that they got this challenge. Isaac gets angry, this wasn't planned. But he has to hold himself together, no way that he will do nothing while the rest is risking their lifes. On the other hand that meant he had to risk his own life, and that was quite precious to him. The others start picking up weapons en seem ready. Isaac still doesn’t know what to do, meanwhile the cage is still moving up. 'I have to do something, I can't just stand here' he speaks to himself.

Dahsi cries "Now" and jumps on a lion. This makes Isaac move, he runs towards a knife and grabs it. Then he cries to the other two with a knife "We'll have to stab them between their eyes, right ? ". He keeps looking at the lions, so that none of them can come behind them. His eyes catch Sam, who seems to be in serious trouble, luckily Beck is there to help him. The lion is distracted by these two spears so Isaac, slowly and as invisible as possible, runs towards this lion, it is still not looking at him. Then he jumps on the lion from behind and he plants the knife between the lion’s shoulders. The lion seems to shudder and roars with pain. Isaac takes out his knife, blood all over his hands, and stabs it in the head. The lion seems to give up, Isaac jumps of it's back before he gets under it. But as this one is finished, Isaac sees another lion coming at Beck, Sam and him. "Stab him in his legs, so he gets down on the ground". Isaac's legs burns but he barely feels it, there's to much adrenaline rushing trough his veins.

Sam watches as Dahsi - is she insane? - grabs a chain and jumps on top of one of the two lions who come running right at him and Reese. He can't help but to mumble a short prayer. Soon, they are way too close for his comfort zone and Reese is stabbing the lion with Dahsi on top. He would almost forget there's another lion, that picked him as his prey.

Sam sees Beck, who grabs the last spear and turns up to help him. He starts to stab the lion and orders Sam to move. Sam takes a mental note to thank the boy. A lot. But first they had to prevent dying. He quickly moves to the side, taking the other side of the lion. Isaac, who apparently already took one lion down, since he's covered in blood, yells at them to stab the lion's legs. Sam decides to just do as he's told and aims for the giant paws, attempting to force the lion down. "Is there anyone with chains, please!?"

Dahsi also takes a chain and teams up with Zé to get to the lions. Zé's just listening to what she says, when suddenly she jumps one of the lions. 'Girl, you're crazy!' Zé screams at her and of course, the lion is not yet willing to give up his fight, even with Dahsi on top of him. She once shakes her head when she sees another lion charging at Sam, who's not really moving. Luckily Beck is coming to his rescue.

And so is Zé when he asks for someone with chains. Zé glances at Dahsi and thinks about making a move much like Dahsi's from before. She takes one last deep breath and prepares to jump the lion. 'I can do this,' she says to herself before she actually makes the same insane move and jumps the lion with her chain in her hand. Once she's on the lion's back she tosses one end to Beck. 'Here, take it and hold it down,' she cries.

She's still deciding on how she's going to get off the lion's back and to the ground when the lion suddenly tosses her off. Luckily, she still has the chain in her hand when she falls to the ground. 'Isaac, finish him off, now!' she says, panicking big time. Her shoulder is sour from the fall and if Beck isn't holding down the chain as firmly as she's hoping, there is quite a good chance that the lion will still eat them all.

Dahsi isn't paying attention to the other ones even one little bit. She's got her hands full with a freaking LION! She pulls as hard as she can at the chain that's stuck around the lion's neck. It seems to be having trouble breathing, which makes the beast even angrier. It's still moving towards Reese, thankfully a bit slower due to the fact that it has a human hanging off its body, but it still keeps on bucking to try and get Dahsi off. One buck too hard, she slips, barely managing to hold on to the chain on. The lion seizes this moment and charges once again at Reese, who's warding the lion off with the spear, while half dragging Dahsi across the floor.

"PLEASE help me with the chain!" she forces out of her throat towards the crowd, including Gabriel and Ivy. "AND KILL THE THING FOR GOODNESS SAKES!"

She finally gets her footing back and pulls once more with all her might at the chain, trying to remain standing and keeping the lion from eating Reese.

Beck doesn't know what's happening. They're actually fighting lions! It was absurd! Sam reacts to what Beck told him, luckily. While Dahsi still seems to be on top of one of the other lions, Isaac bravely takes one of the three lions out - Beck wanted to compliment him on the good job, but wasn't really in the situation to do so - and continues to tell Beck and Sam to aim with their spears at the lions' paws; easier said than done. Apparantly Sam thinks so to, and calls for someone with chains. Zé comes to their aid.

As Zé repeats the fabulous move Dahsi made earlier and tells him to take the chains, Beck instantly reacts and grabs on tightly to the steel. The lion, however, shakes Zé of and Beck senses that she got hurt; the chain isn't holding the lion down as good as it could. As the lion leaps forward, it hauls Beck with it and Beck gets scraped on the floor. ,,Someone FINISH this thing of!'' Beck shouts, and he looks at Isaac and Sam. In the meanwhile, he tries to get a better grip on the beast and pulls the chain, which forces the lion to back down a little. ,,Hold on Zé! Just give it a little more!''

Having said that, Beck gathers all his strength to force the lion down. If Zé could do to the same, Isaac or Sam could easily kill the beast; then only Dahsi and Reese needed to be safed from their situation - which was getting out of hand, since Dahsi started screaming.

Zé comes to the rescue and actually jumps onto the lion, like Dahsi. How was that safe? Then again, how was getting attacked by lions safe? One end of the chain is tossed towards Beck, just before the lion throws Zé off, causing her to fall to the ground, luckily still holding on to the chain. She tells Isaac to finish the lion off , but Dahsi seems to have fallen off her lion too. Except that the chain she's holding, is stuck around the lion's neck, so the animal is dragging her along, while aiming for Reese again.

Soon Beck is getting dragged over the floor too - Sam is sure the boy will rage over his ruined appearance later - and calls for someone to finish the lion off. Sam quickly shuts out all thoughts of how wrong the whole situation is, as he starts to stab the lion's neck with his spear. The blood terrifies him, but he would rather kill a lion than become his meal. "He's getting weaker. Isaac, help Dahsi!" He sends a short glare towards Ivy and Gabriel, before returning his full attention to the now dying lion.

Beck does exactly as she told him, which is a very very good thing as Zé starts to have trouble holding the chain down properly. Apparently she's not doing good enough since Beck is dragged over the floor by the lion. 'I'm really trying!' she shouts back at him. And then Sam takes some action, she can feel the lion lose his strength every time he stabs it. 'Thank God this one's finished,' she says as she slowly tries to loosen her grip on the chain. The lion doesn't move. 'It's dead for sure,' she sighs and then she focuses on Dahsi.

She's in real trouble. Zé doubts she can help with another chain as the lion seems to go totally insane with Dahsi around his neck. And then she realizes she has the crossbow. Instantly she grabs it from her back and it is then she realizes her shoulder really hurts. She flinches but tries to ignore the pain for at least another minute as she gets ready to shoot the lion between his eyes. Oh God, why oh why has she never done some kind of weapon training? She doesn't know if she's aiming right, she doesn't even know how this thing actually works. All she knows is what she's seen others do. And hell, how many times do you see someone shoot a fucking crossbow?

'Oh my God, Dahsi, try to hold still,' she says and she can't help her voice shaking. 'I'm shooting it, I'm fucking shooting the damn thing,' she yells hysterically as she lets the arrow loose, hoping it doesn't miss its target. Please, please, don't let it hit Dahsi. When she dares to look, she sees she indeed hit the lion, only not in between its eyes, so the lion is still moving like crazy. But less crazy then before, which makes it possible to actually aim. The next arrow still doesn't hit it where she would've wanted, but it's enough to make the lion stop moving. At least Dahsi isn't dying hanging around the neck of a lion going wild anymore.

"DO NOT USE YOUR ARROWS AGAIN, MISSY!" the voice booms. "I can assure you, you will thank me for this later." The voice sounds very very cross. "Carry on now, one to go!"

Everything becomes chaotic really quickly. The lions charge at the group and everyone tries desperately to a) stick to the plan and b) not get killed. Isaac manages to kill one, and Sam does too. The last lion is currently dragging Dahsi along, while attacking Reese (who tries to keep him away from her with the spear). Ivy feels the urge to just... run. Except she can't. So she strengthens her hold on the knife and yells: "Hold on!" She sees that Zé is attacking the lion as well, using her crossbow. It's stopped moving so quickly, which is good.

She drops her bag on the ground and moves towards the lion and Dahsi and Reese and Zé. Her heart is thumping loudly against her rib cage - why did she come here again? The lion is the only thing she can see. Ivy manages to sort of sneak up on the lion. She slams the knife into the lion's body; blood spurts out and it sprays on everyone. The lion roars in pain and turns around wildly, dragging Dahsi with him. Ivy knows she has to stay out of the lion's view if she plans on surviving, so she runs in a little circle around it. She can't think - her head is foggy. "HOLD HIM DOWN!" she screams, as if Dahsi could possibly pin the lion to the floor. Ivy charges at the beast again and this time rips her dagger across its majestic body. Blood and intestines everywhere. Again, again, again. The lion roars in pain and Ivy feels no guilt, only the irresistible need to not die.

Ivy doesn't know how often she has been slicing the lion, or how much blood it's been losing, or anything, really. The lion is lying on the floor, writhing in pain, and Ivy is shaking, shaking.

Carrick_Fergus · Beginnend Tovenaar

Suddenly everything was happening really fast, Zé also jumps on the lion like Dashi. She throws the chain towards Beck and soon after that she falls of the lion, but still holding on to the chain. If Dashi is thrown of aswell, Isaac, Ivy or himself will have to act now or it's not going to be a pretty sight.

Then Ivy is the first one to react of the ones that are carrying a knife. She's slicing the lion many time causing it to loose a lot of blood. Even if he doesn't like to get eaten, he also can let the lion die in a lot of pain and besides the lion is just reacting with his nature instinct. Gabriel then give the lion the final blow by stabbing it in his head several times, he stops when the lion stops moving completely.

Dahsi is still holding on tot he lion for dear, dear life when people finally seem to hear the desperation in her voice. Then everything happens really fast. Zé screams hysterically and Zé starts shooting arrows, while she's still on it! She tries to hold the beast while trying to avoid Zé's arrows; cause that was such an easy thing to do. And then finally! The lion starts slowing down. While she watches Ivy slice the lion to pieces, Dahsi's kind of lets the chains glide through her hands. She is completely paralysed, almost hypnotised by the diced, dying lion in front of her. It was absolutely horrifying.

To finish it off, Gabriel stabs the lion right in the top of its head. And that's the last drop. Dahsi turns her head way, feeling absolutely sick to her stomach. They killed these lions. Innocent lions put in a cage to eat them. What kind of fucked up game was this?!

An applause can be heard from the radio, which is still embedded in Reese's pocket. "Congratulations! Your first challenge is done! I must say I'm very proud of you all. Now get up on your feet, get cleaned up and continue on your journey." the voice says, as a sudden shower of water falls from the sky to most likely wash off all of the lion's blood. "Don't worry, the heat will dry you all right up! You can wait here while you pick your next number on the map."

There's a short moment of silence until the voice continues. "And don't be mad at me, I'm just your guide. I am unbiased. To make it up to you, I'll make sure there's something to eat for you at your next stop. Isn't that nice of me?"
