>Emma's pov<

I jumped and rolled out of the way of another fire ball, using the momentum to push myself back on my feet. I took effect off running again before I could get hit by anymore beams of fire.

You remember those hole I mentioned in the walls before? Turns out they spit out fire balls.

Lucky me. (Take note of the sarcasm.)

I grabbed onto a rope (a fire proof rope) and swung onto a platform in one of the walls. I shot a move similar to Moonbast at the machine in the middle, winning this 'challenge'.

I hung my legs off the edge of the platform trying to catch my breath, completely ignoring N as he lectured me about aim and dodging and other random stuff. But as I said before, I was ignoring him. My lungs burned from the inhalation of the smoke as well as all the running I'd been forced to do. I was exhausted and felt like I could collapse at any moment, I was sweating from the heat and I was extremely dehydrated.  

Arceus, why do I put up with this? I asked myself even though I knew the answer.

"Ok next challenge." N said breaking me out of thought.

I groaned. I've been doing this for hours.

"Quit complaining and get your ass down here!"

It took everything I had not to say "or what?" Because I knew exactly what.

I sighed and jumped over to a rope, using it to slide my way to the floor. "Remind me why I have to do this again?" I crossed my arms, glaring at him.

"Because I said so, now go to the beginning position." He glared back, pointing to the other end of the room. "And stop using Fairy, Water and Grass."

I turned around and walked to the other end of the room. "I'll use whatever type I fucking want!" I yelled back as he took his spot behind a wall with a large window so he could se exactly what I'm doing but not get hit... Unfortunately.

I mumbled the water lullaby under my breath and waited for the buzzer to sound.

If it weren't for Silver and the others than I would not have agreed to do this. Precisely why I didn't want them getting involved.

Certain places on the floor started to rotate and the fire balls started flying through the room and the machine in the middle of the room started to glow again and the 3 forcefields reactivated and now there were flamethrowers on the ground spitting fire almost half way up the room.

I sighed and ran forward, using the gymnastic skills I'd picked up in Pinwheel and the attacks taught to me by Rina and Faith.

I mapped out a course in my head that would take me to all the checkpoints but would not allow me to get into the cross fire of the fire balls. Though the movement of the platforms and the blazing fire was unpredictable, I had to do my best to estimate where the fire would be shooting when.

I did a handstand using the momentum to launch myself over one of the many lasers that divided up the room. I grabbed a rope and swung to one of three targets, shooting a ball of water at it, disengaging one of three forcefields.

The fireballs started coming out faster, the flamethrowers reached up higher and the rotating speed of the floor increased. I sighed and jumped onto on of the rotating platforms, squatting low to stay out of reach of the fire and leapt off when I was brought close enough to the next target. I formed another water ball in my hands and shot it at the next target.

Once again everything sped up.

I was already panting and I felt faint from the heat. The fire was water proof so I couldn't do any thing against it but stay out of the way.

I ducked just in time to dodge another ball of fire and started running in a zig-zag fashion to avoid getting hit.

(A/N Am I the only one who's being reminded of the Hunger games?)

I grabbed a rope and climbed to the top then swung to the next one, narrowly missing a wall of fire that separated me from my last target.

I held onto the rope with one hand and used the other to shoot a Bubble Beam like attack at the final target.

All three forcefields were now deactivated leaving me able to turn off the machine.

I leapt from the rope and used a move similar to Aquatail but with my hand at the centre machine, disengaging it for the 15th time that day.

I landed on the ground and trying to regulate my breathing again, checking my body for any new burns. No new ones thankfully but I still had quite a few from earlier today.

I was completely exhausted, I didn't think I could do another one if I wanted to. (Which I didn't)

"Get up." N hissed at me.

I ignored him and continued to try to get my breathing back to normal.

"I said, get up!" N grabbed a handful of my hair and yanked me to my feet.

I screamed in pain but stood up anyway. I swayed at my feet, struggling to breath.

N slapped me across the cheek, knocking my exhausted figure to the ground. "I said not to use Water! Can't you do anything right!?" He yelled at me.

"I can't help it if I know how to control those types the best! Ghost and Dark just go everywhere, Psychic I can only use to pick stuff up and the rest I don't even know how to use!" I shot back in annoyance despite the fact that I was about to feint. I pulled myself to my feet and struggled to stay standing.

N slapped me again making me once more fall over but this time, I didn't bother trying to stand. "I remind you not to yell at me." He glared.

"I wouldn't waste your time with her N." Cyrus said from the door.

I growled and shot a ball of water at him, knocking him back and drenching him completely.

N glared and I shrugged. "You said I couldn't attack you, you said nothing about Cyrus."

He took a moment to think about this and shrugged. "True that I guess."

The only thing N and I have in common; we both 'share a mild dislike for Cyrus' as N put it. I personally think they're both assholes and hate them both with a burning passion.

N called some grunts and started speaking to them, completely disregarding me. I don't know what they were talking about, I to busy trying to regulate my breathing.

One of the grunts grabbed the collar of my shirt, making me cry out in surprise but I was ignored and literally dragged me out of the room towards who knows where.

I didn't bother fighting it, I was struggling to stay conscious so really there wasn't a point.

>Silver's pov<

"A little to your left... got it." I directed Destiny.

After Sora gave up trying to brake down the her cell door, Destiny decided to have a go at picking the lock. But she couldn't see it which is why I was directing her.

Red and Rafe watched from their cell next to Sora and Destiny I was on the other side on my own.

"Guys somebody's coming!" Red warned.

Destiny quickly removed the pin she was using to pick the lock and sat next to Sora, pretending to talk to her. I sat in the corner pretending to talk to Red and Rafe.

A grunt unlocked my cell and threw something or should I say someone in.

Emma groaned in pain as she tried to pick herself up off the floor. I quickly took her side and helped her into a sitting position. She looked up at me, struggling to breath and looking like she could collapse at any moment. Her entire body was trembling and when I looked into her eyes I could tell she was both completely exhausted and terrified. 

I pulled her into my lap, allowing her to rest her head on my shoulder. She didn't object to the contact like she normally did, instead she snuggled into my arms.

"Thank Arceus your alright." She mumbled looking up at me tiredly but also sounding relieved to see me.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

Emma sighed half-heartedly. "I'll live."

Everyone started to ask her random questions but I could tell Emma was struggling to stay awake. I signalled for them to be quiet by putting my finger to my lip, Emma was clearly exhausted and was already half asleep in my arms. So I though it best to let her rest since no one knew what had happened to her but I'm assuming it was bad for her to be like this.

Everyone quietened down seeing how utterly exhausted Emma looked and within minutes, she was fast asleep in my arms.

I sighed and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

"Is she alright?" Destiny whispered.

"I think so..." I replied with relief.

I looked at her slightly singed jumper,  I could see she had newer burns underneath.

"Tough she looks like something burnt her with a fire type attack, they don't look to bad though." I whispered worriedly.

"Like a Pokemon?"

I nodded. "We'll ask her when she wakes up, but for now I think we all need to get some rest." I looked back at my sister. "Especially Emma."

The others nodded. "I think we should take turns to keep watch just in case. We should do it in twos so if one falls asleep the other can wake him or her." Destiny said.

"Rafe a I will go first." Red quietly volunteered.

"Sora and I can go next." Destiny said hushly.

"And I'll go last on my own since Emma obviously needs the rest." I volunteered.

"Wake the others up if anything happens or someone comes." Destiny whispered. "Or if Emma wakes up, I'm sure we all want to talk to her."

We all agreed before settling to sleep, apart from Red and Rafe who began a quiet conversation. I stayed awake for a moment looking at my sister with concern. She looked so fragile right now... as if at any moment she could shatter and disappear forever... But I wouldn't let that happen.

I would give everything I had to keep my little sister safe... And I knew she would do the same for me.

Done! OMFA THIS TOOK FOREVER!

I've decided to take a short brake from writing for just a few days to get all my ideas together cause I have so many random scribbles in my note pad I have no idea what's meant to happen next. I'm really sorry but it had to be done.  I'm going to finish writing my next chapter if Find my voice then take. A brake for a few days. As I said I'm SO SO SO SO SO sorry.

Bye-bye now

SMG OUT!!!
