"I guess this is our punishment for abandoning that boy" the young man said.
"Hey!!! Grab on!!!!!" Natsu screamed as he swung pass the bees towards them.
They were all surprised to see him coming towards them as the other boy said "But how, he's meant to be dead"
The young man ran and picked up the cutting boy as he shouted "Let's go!!!"
The shiny boy picked the other boy up as him and the young man ran towards Natsu.
Natsu stretched his hands towards them and grabbed the young man, while the shiny boy jumped and held Natsu in his waist region, as the other boy grabbed Natsu's leg, so that the shiny boy can hold tight onto Natsu.
Natsu bit his teeth in pain as the rope became too tight on his hand due to the weight, as he tried to hold on.
The rope was wrapped on Natsu hands and went towards his waist, as blood began flowing through his hands.
The young man noticed Natsu facial expressions as he thought "He's in pain, they are too many of us on him right now, and his not strong enough to hold all of us. I have to do something, if I can get to the top I should be able to help him out but how?"
As they swung, Natsu tried holding on as he thought "Nope, using Return isn't that much of a great idea! I have to make this move fast before my hands rip out from my body" as he shouted "Ultimate ROS!!!"
This made them fly really fast as it shot them like a catapult.
Natsu noticed they were getting closer to the tree he tied and said "CM ROS" as the rope pulled them faster, breaking the tree branch as it went towards him.
Natsu grabbed it with his free hand as they flew towards the Research Facility.
"I see something! Wait! That's the Research Facility!!!" The other boy said in joy.
As the young man heard that he thought, "This boy knew where the exit was"
"I'm sorry everyone! I don't know how we're going to land, I didn't think that far!" Natsu said.
Everyone eyes widened as they realized they were soon going to die if they didn't stop there fall, or reduce the speed they were going.
"Are you crazy!!! Why won't you think that far!" the other boy shouted as he realized he was going to die if they land with that speed.
"Hey shut it! You haven't been useful since we were together, so you don't have the right to say that" the young man said angrily.
"Are you hearing yourself, we are going to die soon if we don't slow down" the boy shouted.
"Then use your brain to think of a way out instead of making noise" the shiny boy replied.
"Why did you guys even carry the parasite, we would have ditched him, and here I thought he was trying to become useful" the cutting boy said.
"They're so mean" the boy thought.
"I have an idea. I can try to create a geyser to catch us but I don't know how to slow us down" the water girl said with pain in her voice.
"No, you need to rest. It's time for these two girls to try to be useful, it's like they aren't even part of the team. At least there leader runs his mouth even though he is not useful, but then these two! They didn't even contribute anything, they're the main parasites!" the young man said as he started in a calm tone and gently raised his voice making him to shout at the end.
"I know! I still have one more spell left. I can slow us down, but, we would need protection" the shiny boy said.
"Don't worry about protection, we have human shields" the cutting boy said.
"Huh, what do you mean by that?" the other boy asked.
"We have three so let's beginning slowing ourselves down" the cutting boy said.
"Isn't he been a little bit cruel" Natsu thought.
The other boy looked at the girls and counted in his mind "One, two, three" as he looked at the cutting boy and said "Aren't you been a little bit cruel, I mean, using those three girls as shield, but I get your point, it's for the greater good of our survival"
The cutting boy looked at him and asked "So your okay with the life shield idea?"
"Well not really, but it's for our safety so let's use all the girls as our human shield" the boy replied.
"Huhhh!!!" The two girls screamed.
"I'm glad you're okay with that, but your mistaken" the cutting boy said.
"What do you mean by that?" The boy asked.
"We aren't really using all the girls, it's only two" the cutting boy replied.
"Huh!" The boy said in surprise as he looked at him and said "If you are using two girls, who is the other one going to be, it would have to come from the boys, but who?"
His eyes suddenly widened as he realized that he third person was him and screamed "No way, you must be joking, you can't use me!"
"I thought you were okay with the idea" the shiny boy said as he started laughing.
"Hell no, not when I'm part of the livestock" the boy said.
"Oh really, so as long as you survive your okay with it" the young man asked.
"Yes" the boy answered proudly.
"You disgust me" the young man said.
"Hey, I got an idea" one of the girls said in a shy tone.
"We're all ears" the young man replied.
"I can make whatever I put my seal mark on to float, but currently I'm the only one that has it. So you guys would have to stop us from moving, if you want me to bring us down safely" the girl said.
"That's great! With this, the other girl won't have to stress herself" the young man replied.
"I see, so she's the shy type. The only reason she talked was because she had no other option if she wanted to survive" Natsu thought.
"Well let's start" the shiny boy said as he took a deep breath and said "Fire ball, Exploding Stars"
The shiny boy held the other boy and tried pulling him out of Natsu's leg, but the boy held on way too tight as he was shouting "No way!"
"I guess we'll all die" the shiny boy said as they approach the ball of light.
"Hell no!!! Summon thou that ye shall protect me, Awaken tortoise shell" the boy shouted as a seal appeared beneath them, creating a force field that covered them completely.
"Wait, you could create a shield all this time and yet you refused to!!!" They all screamed as they looked at him.
"What? I don't want to die, plus, after this spell I'm going to be completely spent out" the boy said in fear.
"He's an idiot" all of them thought as they looked at him.
The shiny guy closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he controlled the stars to hit them in a way that would reduce there fall and speed.
The young man noticed what the shiny boy was doing as he said "Hey girl, now's the time to start making us float"
The girl closed her eyes as she made noises that showed how hard it was to carry them, as she tried to float.
The stars exploded on the shield as the boys eyes were closed as he said "I can't keep it for long, damn it" in a weird tone.
"You'll have to hold on, were almost there" the young man said.
The boy tried keeping the field up but couldn't as he said "I can't, I can't hold on any longer!" as he opened his eyes making his shield to disappear as he panted seriously.
"Huh, we aren't moving fast at all, and we're falling slowly" the boy said as he screamed "You guys tricked me"
"I'm sorry guys but I'm also spent out" the girl said.
"Huh, what the you mean by that?" the boy asked.
The girl began panting as they all fell from the air.
"Ahhhhh!!!" they all screamed as they were falling.
"I'm way too young to die, this can't be my end!" The boy screamed as they were falling.
"I guess it's time to make myself useful" the young man thought as he started picking them up while they were falling.
"Hold on tight" the man said as he took a deep breath and shouted "Bull armor"
The man landed on the ground as dust came out and covered the area.
"We're alive, we're alive!!!" The boy screamed as he coughed and fell down.
The man dropped everyone and asked if they were okay. They all assured him they were as the man became relieved and smiled as he said "That's great news"
Natsu already left them and ran towards the door as he started hitting it while shouting "Hurry up and open the door! I still have the Hunters exam to take"
The young man carried the water girl as he ran to the building and said "Open up, there's someone in need of medical care"
The cutting and shiny boy tried to stand up as they tried moving towards the door, while the field guy was busy asking for someone to help him as he then said he wasn't able to move.
The other girl supported the floating girl as they all went towards the gate.
"Come on, I've been asking for help since and no one is coming, please someone should carry me, I'm begging" the field guy said.
"He's pathetic" the cutting boy said.
"I know right, everyone is trying to move towards the gate but his busy lying down and screaming for help, what a loser" the shiny guy said.
"What's the password?" was heard as everyone became silent.
"Huh" everyone said in shock.
"What do you mean by what's the password, there is a contestant dying here and you dare to ask that" the young man said.
"Yeah, and plus, I don't have much time since I got my hunters exam to write" Natsu said in support.
"How am I sure you guys are not intruders or beast acting like contestants, so, tell me what the password is" the voice said.
"Do we look like beasts to you, and how do you expect us to know the password" the young man asked.
"Don't open the gate, they don't know the password" the voice said.
"What!!!" They all said.
"You guys are meant to know the password, every stage 1 instructor is meant to tell his students the password" the voice said.
All of them had an image of Gildart laughing in there minds as Natsu said "Damn it, I'm sure mister Gildart purposefully did this"
"Open the gate, they got the password" the voice said.
"Huhhhhh!!!" They all screamed as the shiny guy shouted "How's that even a password!"
"The password was your stage 1 instructors name, so what ever phrase or sentence you made with it didn't matter as long as you said his name" a man at the door said as he smiled and said "Congratulations on passing the Adventurers exams"
