The Test

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

"WHAT!" Crazy responded confused.

"Calm down! And be quiet too... You will be fine as long as you focus on stopping the Nen flow. Trust me." Killua responded to him quickly.

"Oh... Okay. So Ill be fine. I just need to focus on stopping the flow. No Biggie'." Crazy responded calmly for the situation at hand. He coughed and started to focus on stopping the flow...

30 minutes later...

Crazy was panting and was 6 minutes away from losing consciousness. Killua was asleep in the one and only bed.

Is this how I die? Posing like an idiot until my life force is depleted... I might as well give up with the poses and just stand there. Actually, I'll do that now!

He stopped his poses and just stood there, arms at his sides head down and eyes closed. He was pretty exhausted, so he decided in his final 5 minutes of consciousness he would clear his head of stress and worries for the future. Just stand there.

After 4 minutes of standing up naturally he fell down, close to falling to sleep. He opened his eyes and saw something was missing, the white mist had gone away. He had stopped his Nen flow!

I did it.... I think I should go to sleep, I'm done! Wait, I have a bad luck curse to worry about. Too late now.

Crazy too, succumbed to the depths of sleep.

Time left to make the decision: less than 1 hour...

Crazy got up, and then immediately wanted to go back to bed due to how tired he was.

Taking that long to stop the flow of my Nen took more out of me than I thought it would have. What even was that?

Crazy lazily got up off of the floor.

Crap, now my back Hurts as well. That's what I get for sleeping on the floor I guess... I have a lot of questions for Killua!

Crazy turned around to see Killua wide awake staring at him.

"Yo." He waved.

"What the hell can I do with Nen? And how will it help me with the exam." Crazy blurted out as soon as possible.

"With Nen you enhance your physical abilities and protect you from a lot of physical attacks." Killua explained to him.

"Also the more you practice with it, the more powerful it becomes. I'll explain more if I ever see you again. See you later!"

Crazy then realized that it was time to go to the mess hall for some grub. The doors to the cells open.

They go through the usual routine of being escorted to the mess hall and getting some grub to eat. However Crazy sat near Jotaro this time around. He still had no idea how Jotaro did what he did by instantly teleporting Crazy out of his seat.

I need to ask him what he did yesterday getting me out of his seat instantly. This could be important. Before he could talk to Jotaro, Crazy needed to tell him something. However Jotaro spoke first.

"Why are you here." He asked emotionless.

"I'm going. I would rather go than rot in prison."

"Yeah... you might wanna tell that to the test or no test groups, I already agreed to take the test. We leave after our breakfast, go now." Crazy realized what he just heard.

"Crap! Gotta go get in line!"

He had grabbed his food on the way there and ate it in the line. He was rather cautious about his choice and zoned out for a bit.

Crazy finally told them that he would take the test. They told him to follow the right set of guards instead of the normal left.

It was Killua's turn in line.

"Yeah. I'll take the test."

Killua had decided to stick with Crazy to teach him Nen and instead of patiently waiting he made his choice.

He will probably kill himself before he gets the hang of it. He's probably an enhancer with that hotheadedness he showed me this morning. Killua monologued to himself.

Time until test: 5 minutes...

Crazy stood next to Jotaro in the line. They had remained silent and about ready to leave. The group started moving out of the door.

Instead of taking the normal route to the cell block, they take a right. They were eventually led into a large room with lots of chairs scattered about. Only about 25 humans had actually showed up to take the test. Among those were Crazy, Jotaro, Killua, and a peculiar weirdo who loved fighting.

The unicorn with wings showed up and spoke.

"Only a quarter of them chose the test? Very well. Only a quarter of you have a chance to survive anyway."

The crowd of humans remained silent. They did not know what she was talking about.

However, Crazy had knowledge of what she was speaking of.

I'm glad I took this risk, it seems what the guards said was not a lie after all.

After looking around Crazy could only find one person who still was in the army uniform.

Crazy also spotted Killua in the crowd of people. A thought appeared in his mind.

Why is Killua here? There is something strange about this group, all of the people who are trying to escape are greenhorns and people out of uniform.

He was going to think more but he felt a strange feeling behind him, it felt like thousands of tiny needles pricking his skin.

He was going to turn around to see where the sensation was coming from but suddenly the environment changed.

This location was a new location and he had not seen it before. It seemed that they were split into teams of red and blue and there were black and yellow balls in the middle.

Upon closer inspection of the teams he realized that each team had some... Uninvited guests. There were a total of 6 ponies on the teams. They were each brightly colored and had different tattoos on each of their... Behinds.

Okay I must be seeing things now... I don't remember there being 6 total ponies with us when we got here. It must be part of the test.

"You may be wondering why you have 3 new members of your teams. They are my own creation so I can even out the teams numbers. This first part of the test is a game of dodge ball." The unicorn with wings said.

Dodge-Ball? doesn't sound too hard... Crazy thought with a sigh of relief.

"If any bare skin is hit by any of the dodge balls or cross over to the other side of the court. Instead of sitting out for the rest of the game, you will be killed. Other than that, no rules! Just survive until one team is down to 5 players left alive. Any questions?"

Seemingly everyone there raised their hands to ask a question.

"No? Good luck and try to survive!" The unicorn with wings disappeared with a flash.

Strange... The last time I saw her do that it did not have a flash. Was it the Nen awakening that let me see that? Its possible. Crazy contemplated until he realized that he was not in the same spot, but was in fact facing the other team. the enemy side of the area was blue, while the side Crazy was on is red.

Crazy figured it would be in his best interests to look at who was on his team. Everyone that he had met so far was on his team.

What a relief! If any of them were on the other team, I could have accidentally killed them! Crazy was about to take a step for them when he realized he could not do it. What! I'm stuck, but how! He was able to move every part of him other than his legs. He noticed a shift in the sand in the front, it spelled out in roman numerals 5,4,3,2,1. When the sand spelled out 1 in roman numerals, the ground beneath his feet disappeared.

What! Crazy hit the floor with a small thud, it seemed that they had all fallen into some sort of pit including the other team. In the chamber was nothing but the people who fell. It seems Crazy was able to move his legs again.

There were countless torches along the walls. They all began lighting up at in a clockwise fashion. The speed at which the torches were lit doubled every torch. Despite the fact that he just fell down into this pit, he realized that even with the new light of the torches which were around 15 feet up on the walls, he could not see the ceiling.

He got up quickly knowing that the faster he got up, the faster he could attack the other team which in turn, could attack at any time. It seemed that Killua and Jotaro had went onto the offensive. Instead of sitting down and waiting for their doom.

Instantly he saw the man in the military uniform hit with the ball, the ball made a wicked noise at the first contact of with the skin on his hands. He continued to look and saw something horrific, at first his body just stood there unaffected. Then it exploded from the inside blood splattered everywhere. Jotaro was seen with the same calm look on his face. Killua seemed calm too. Crazy was shocked but got over it quickly.

Those guys... So cool! They are ready! I should be ready to fight as well! This was a rather strange response but it helped motivate crazy to get up and start his fight with a grin on his face. To be honest, the reason he responded like this was because he loved the thrill of a good fight. And from that alone, he knew this fight was gonna be good.

Crazy was cut off of his attack on the other team when he heard the whistling of a ball being thrown at him. He just barely dodged the ball by inches. He backed off a good distance from the assailants direction. It was one of the three ponies on the opposite team, this one specifically was mostly pink except for the balloons tattoo on her flank, with very curly hair. It looked like she was saying something but no noise came out.

What is it doing... Its mouthing something! Crazy then spelled out what it was saying. It was mouthing very fast what it was saying one letter at a time. Y...O...U...A...R...E...G...O...I...N...G...T..O...D...I...E. Whats that spell. Oh no... I'm going to die. I need a plan.

Crazy ran over to get a ball on his left. The 'the pink one' (he called her) had picked up two balls and threw them One ball flew even closer to his face, missing within centimeters of his hair. This by far motivated him far more than he had ever been to speed up to get the to his ball quicker. The second one was not aimed at him but instead at the ball he was going for. The ball was thrown between Crazy's feet, he however noticed this and jumped in a cartwheel motion but without his hands, the ball missed him.

However instead it bounced against the back wall, in turn hitting the ball Crazy was gunning for from behind, just before he grabbed it. Sadly, it was headed straight for the pink one.

He had no chance of getting that ball back, it already crossed the line. What Crazy did not notice was that the other one was launched straight into the air towards one of his teammates. Crazy would then turn midair only to land at his feet and slide a bit, he could not stop the one heading towards his teammate.

"DUCK DOWN! OR YOU WILL DIE!" Crazy shouted to the man.

He turned, noticing the ball come towards him. But it was too late. The ball went straight through the guys stomach. THE BALL JUST WENT THROUGH THAT GUYS STOMACH! I WOULD EXPLODE FROM THE FORCE OF THE BALL HITTING ME! NOT THE AFTEREFFECTS OF HITTING MY SKIN! Panic want through his mind as he realized how he was so close to death only seconds ago.

The man however did not explode but instead, had screamed. This was due to the excruciating pain he was probably feeling due to the force of the ball going straight through his stomach. The man staggered, however this action was useless because he fell down a second later. While on the ground the mans eyes rolled into the back of his head. After seeing this most of his teammates ran to the other side with the majority of the enemy players were.

The pink one had two balls at its disposal ready to throw. Crazy however noticed this and prepared himself for the worst now that he knew the power of those balls that had just passed him. He glared at the pink one only to get a creepy smile right back at him. Crazy shuddered at the thought of what that smile implied...

Death. Crazy gulped in anticipation of the events that were going to transpire with him in the midst of it all. He got ready to dodge the balls that were going to be thrown at him.

Crazy heard shallow breaths beside him at that moment. "What!" he shouted in surprise as the man who was seemingly gutted was standing before him its formerly tanned skin now a sickly shade of green. Blood was leaking out of the formerly dead mans wound. How is he alive! He was gutted like a pig! More so he is attacking me! The man came at Crazy. He hear the whistle of a ball coming at him! In his panic he did something on accident which saved his life.

Crazy shrouded his body with Nen in a panic and noticed something. He could see around him with the mysterious Nen! He knew the way the ball was coming at him from, its trajectory was curved and coming for the back of his skull as the man in front of him was leaning in to attack. Crazy moved his forearm in the way of his skull and put his jacket over his forearm angling his arm in a way that when the ball hit his forearm that it would bounce straight into the mans head.

He grinned as he felt that this counter would work. There was an sickening crack of bones, the same noise that could be heard when a bone is shattered. Crazy heard and felt the impact throughout his entire body. As Crazy saw that the impact of the ball hitting his forearm, he knew that he would not be using that arm anytime soon. He heard another crack distracting him from his pain. The mans skull had taken the full force of the ball as the ball curved back in the direction of the pink one. The man exploded from the inside giving the ball more force. In a cruel twist of fate, the trajectory of the ball was off so it would not hit the pink one..

"AAAAAAHHHHHH MY ARM!" Crazy shouted as he was fully experiencing the pain of his shattered forearm. The pink one's smile widened, the reason why was not because of the mans suffering but because the trajectory of the ball was in her favor. In an act of fake rage, the pink one threw the other ball she had at the ground sending it straight up.

The ball almost instantly came back down onto the other ball that was headed towards the pink one sending it straight at Crazy as he clutched his forearm in pain. Crazy saw this and thought up a high risk plan with relative to no reward as a last ditch effort. He held out his jacket and kept its position with all of his might. He held it out to protect against the ball.

Fortunately the trajectory was in his favor! the ball was spinning backwards in the air and when it caught Crazy's jacket, Crazy held on giving him something to give the ball to grab onto and effectively giving it enough force to go back in that direction.

Crazy shakily inhaled to tell the pink one its goodbye as it would not make it out of this situation its smile fading as the ball would bring it to its demise.

"Go To Hell. And Stay There!" Crazy said in the thrill of the moment. The ball made contact with the pink one as she exploded as soon as the ball touched her skin.

"Goodbye, it was a good fight." Crazy muttered under his breath in the brief moment before the ball made contact and she exploded.

Crazy could have sworn he saw her grin in the final moment before she exploded as if she had heard him.

There was the sound of a bell ringing as the first part of the test had now finished.

I did it! Now I just need to finish the rest of the tests with this broken forearm. Yeah, this is going to be a bit of a problem. Just my bad luck.

All of the remaining people left were teleported away from the dodgeball area and back to the outside area where they started the test. The unicorn with wings was there.

"By the way to all of you who survived, I grant the honor of knowing my name."

What is it? Mrs. Sparklywing?

"To all of you, My name is Princess Celestia, I'm an alicorn."

Wow, just... Thank you! Now I know what to call your race! SO IMPORTANT! Whait... I think I remember something important about the fight... That was when he remembered what the man that tried to kill him, and also got his guts spilled had worn. He was wearing pajamas.

Oh no... Pajamas... I'm sorry it had to be this way... Farewell, friend. Just my luck.
