[E] Frieda Brauer - 3

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway. The size seems just big enough to walk through, as well as any companions without causing anyone to squish. Even the one with the large machine would find it just big enough for it to get through without scraping along the walls. It was as though each one was designed specifically for each person. Could this be what the person who registered all for the exam was typing in the entire time?

As the passage continued to be navigated, the lights barely lighting up the walls, floor, and ceiling, a voice would finally ring out through the area, one that was rather familiar. It was the registrar, and apparent proctor of the exams.

”Greetings to you all for participating in the exams. For passing through your doorways, you have chosen to partake in this years Chuunin Examinations. Before the exams truly begin, I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.”

”Now then. As stated before, for these exams, you will be working alone, or with whichever animal or mechanical companion you brought with you. Each of you will be watched every step of the way. In a few moments, you'll step into a larger room where you will see a few things that we will be giving you for these exams.”

After those words were said, that room started to light up before each individual. It wasn't incredibly large, but gave a bit more breathing room unlike the previous passage. In the center of the room was a table. On it held a circular disk, a black box, and a small earpiece.

”Before you lies three things. A earpiece, that will help deliver special instructions. Anything you hear over the intercom is being broadcast to all areas. But anything that pertains directly to you will be played through the earpiece. If you choose not to wear it, be cautious, for you won't hear any special instructions that could cause you to fail the exams. The disk is something you eat should you feel the exams are too much. Your testing will end and you will immediately be ejected from the testing area to go back home. The black box is a room reset. It is a one time use. If you feel that you have come across something you cannot handle, throw the box at the ground and everything else in the room will disappear. But as I said, it is a one time use. If you use it on one thing, you may find yourself against a more difficult test later on.”

A few moments of silence passed before the words started up again, as though giving the participants a chance to collect the items and place them where they want them.

”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.”

And with that, a light appeared at the end of the room, allowing each person to go through and begin their personalized experience.

[OOC: As stated in the post, each thread will be different. If you are S rank, you'll fight harder enemies than one who just got the 500 TP needed for the exams. So each examiner will be doing things differently. The name of each thread lists who will be in it, and the number is who your examiner is. There is no IIC for these threads. You can take as long as you need to when making a post as I want you all to think about it and work on the best possible post that you can. The examiners have a 3 day IIC. If the examiner has not posted in that time, PM me and I'll be sure to get another examiner to post. I will also make a note if an examiner has PMed me to tell me that they will be gone for a short period of time. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or your examiner. Let the exams begin!]

[Frieda]

Eyes moving about as she dragged her bear companion Mugetsu behind her, Frieda would listen to the disembodied words as she moved her hands over her equipment. Fifteen 100ml Vials, thirty more darts, a simple pair of goggles another with a pair installed with X-ray and Anti Flash Lenses, Fifty Syringe Needles, three 30 ml Syringes, and fifteen100ml Vials were contained in a type 1 butt bag. Roaming her hands over her field pack strapped to her back under her shields, she felt her skeleton key along with her six smoke bombs, world map, lensatic compass, four knives to which were attached a incendiary, lightning, goo and ice pouches to each of them. A flask of flame of a god, four fire pots, five thermal capsules, a single Kunai, a small scroll, three sun rods, two sonic emitters and a single multitool.

Her hand moved over her gasmask, running a finger over the type A filter that was attached to it already. A small gourd filled with water was attached to her bodacious upper left thigh, her two pill boxes the first filled with the spinach, curry and the red pepper food pills. Five Kunai were loaded and ready to blow out upon Frieda's command within the confines of her chest. The second only containing Spinach. Her great shield of Boreas was hooked to her back, followed by two heavy shields on either side of her back with the final being a heavy shield with a shock attachment installed. A piston gauntlet was attached to her right arm. Hanging from her upper left arm were thirty five meters of basic rope and hanging from her other arm was three meters of wound chain. Double Scroll Size Pouch that contained ten lightning and ten explosive tags each, this was strapped to her right hip. An herbal pouch hanging off her hip contained her sixteen doses of wild Alether berries, four doses of Wild Masterwort, eight doses of Wild Figurative Cactus, one dose of wild apple and five doses of cultivated apples.

As she finished her self inspection, she looked behind her at Mugetsu who was slowly getting up and walking forward she would immediately grab the items. The earpiece, the box and the disc were picked up and put into her robe, the earpiece put into her right ear canal. Flipping the table over, she would break off two of the legs and toss one towards Mugetsu, who scramble to catch it. Feeling around her type five robe, in which contained her thirty darts she felt her new items were secure within. Twirling the table leg in a hand, she would wait for instructions, ready to use the table before her at any time. Slowly she should remove a heavy shield from her back and take on the bear claw stance while her free hand held the table leg.

Ningen Tatekomoru (Human Barricade)
Rank: “B”
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Even without the defense of their shield, the user becomes increasingly difficult to knock down.
Special: Does not work in conjunction with shield techniques, only if the user takes a hit to their body.
Drawback: ---
Description: Infamously the Kumotate users are powerful front-liners who use their shields to great effect, so much so that they can seem almost immovable. However this is thanks only in part to their armaments. Somewhere in the rigorous training endured by these men – and women – they become themselves human barricades, so powerful and strong that they too take on that same property. With this mastery all attacks intent on stagger that hit a Kumotate user are treated as though the Kumotate user were one class higher than he or she actually is. If the user is “S”-class then after their class is taken into account the stagger is halved.
Limit: Gained automatically once the user has 500TP in the Kumotate Style.

Niwaka Kengeki (Improvised Weapons)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Anyone is capable of using anything they have around them, however a Brawler is capable of using anything around them with more of a devastating capability. With this technique a Brawler may pick up a chair and hurl it towards an enemy sending them flying back, or slamming a table into a fighter crushing bones. (See description for more Detail.)
Special: ---
Drawback: Must be an odd object like furniture, or kitchen utensils, anything that is not necessarily defined as a weapon.
Description: A Brawler is capable of using anything around them as a weapon. They are capable of using odd objects as if it was part of them. There is no such thing as proficiency towards that of the Brawler capabilities. A brawler is capable of taking hold of anything and using it as a weapon. Imagine a brawler hitting an opponent with a beer bottle thy fly back meters into the distance, or taking hold of a chair, slamming them so hard into the ground it breaks bones. This, is what this technique does. This technique is not as strong as punches and such as that, however it is best to never be in a bar brawl with a Brawler. The higher the class is the more devastating the attack will be creating a more sufficient way of breaking one's bones. This works for small objects that are from one foot to approximately three feet in length. When an object is from three feet to six feet in size the distance and capability magnifies by times 1.5. When the object is any larger then six feet the distance and capability magnifies by times 2.

D Class - 5 Meters Knock back
C Class - 10 Meters Knock back
B Class - 20 Meters Knock back - 10% Chance Bones may Break
A Class - 40 Knock back - 30% Chance Bones may Break
S Class - 50 Meters Knock back - 50% Chance Bones may Break


Limit: Must be a Brawler

Bone Strength
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Bone Strengthening
Special: Must be a "B" Class Character. When they become a "B" Class Character, they automatically get this. Every time whenever someone attacks a member, the disease automatically takes into effect.
Drawback: There is chakra of molding, and chakra of inner molding. Because of the physical nature of the Kaguya's capability to increase the structure of their bones as well as their capability of using their Bloodlimit. The Kaguya had suddenly found a way to increase the strength within their own bones. This technique is used not for learning capabilities, but more for the capability of the strength within the character. At this level, all Jutsus performed by the bone limit carries an additional Two Slots within each Jutsu
Description: This is the next level of Strength of the Clan that is known for the Kaguya clan. Their bones are strong, they are capable of withstanding up to Two "C" Ranks of Jutsus before they start to break within the user.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. Must be a "B" Class

Effect: Primary stance in the Kumotate; precursor to further techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: With the shield hooked to their dominant arm, the user will stand with their feet precisely shoulder-length apart, their body squared to the enemy. Their arm must be bent at the elbow at a rough right angle, placing the shield between them and the opponent. From this fortified stance all manner of defensive techniques can be used.
Limit: ---

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

The circuits in the earpiece would come to life, and then the voice of a man would speak to you. "Welcome worthy participant to the Chuunin Exams. This will not be an easy test I assure you, but if you are mentally strong, and physically capable then you will be allowed to progress. This is all dependent on your actions. Now step forth and prepare yourself for your first challenge!" at this time a door would light up and then the man would clear his throat. He had spoken with a very proper tone and seemed very eager to get things underway.

"Before I tell you what you are going to be doing here there are a few rules that we have to set down. Rule one, all things will be seen equally. Rule two, I will not lie to you, I do lie." He would say in the pleasant but misleading voice. Then in front of the door four bowls would light up. Each one empty, except for one that was filled with water, and each one just as normal as the last. They seemed like clones of the same bowl. The door itself had two halves of a Yin and Yang symbol on each side of the door. A massive groove in the center of the two showed a gear. Judging off the looks the two pieces went together and that would unlock the door. The only question would be, how to get them together?

It was at this time that the man's voice would come back and he would speak clearly. "To unlock the door, you must make the bowls equal. Each time you do a door will be showed somewhere in this room. Each one is hidden. Go through the doors and find the keys. Use the keys once the two halves are reunited. This will unlock the door and lead you to the next chamber. Now remember the rules." he would say in his mysterious voice. Then the earpiece would go silent and you would be left alone with your wits and your companion.

[Frieda]

Putting her hands on her hips, Frieda would sigh. "Make the bowls equal huh?" She would gaze over the ying yang bowls, she would Hmmm and hawww for a little bit. Her mind raced over looking at the bowls as she heard the examiner talk about how everything was to be equal, he never said anything about water being in each one. Mugetsu would be ordered to hold the entirety of the bowl's contents of it into Mugetsu's mouth. "Don't you dare swallow!" She threatened as the bear's bulging cheeks contained the water almost to a bursting point. Waiting a moment, she would see what four empty bowls would do.

Pointing to the next bowl, she would command Mugetsu to spit out a bit of the water. Strapping on her Goggles, she would flip on the X-ray function and scanned the room for keys for a moment, also looking for traps as well. Before Mugetsu emptied his mouth into the next bowl right next to the original one. "If all the bowls have to be equal, I assume you're lying... seeing as though you said you did lie. Let's see what completely moving the water to another bowl would do." waiting for the reaction to her experimentation, wondering if the examiner was actually lying.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

The reaction would be nothing more than the sound of dripping coming from the creatures beak. Your plan was smart and sound even. However, it did not work as well as you had wished. Nothing was happening and the bowls would still remain there, under the glow of the light that had brightened them. On the bright side of things, you had filled one of the empty bowls, but still had three to fill.

[Frieda]

Sighing, Frieda would put a hand up towards Mugetsu, telling him to stop as she reached down and removed the small gourd of water from her waist. Eying the bowls, she would realize there should be enough water in her gourd to evenly fill each of the bowls. Deactivating her goggles for a moment she would continue, popping the cork from the gourd, she would fill the other three bowls to the level where they would be considered equal to the first. Whether this left any water in her gourd or not was irrelevant to her. "Hopefully this does it Snowflake." She sighed as she replaced the gourd to her waist, picked up the table leg and shield she had dropped to preform the actions and waited, taking on a defensive pose.

[Tieren]

Suddenly, above everything, a voice rang out, no matter where each participant was. It was the person who was in the main room and registered them for the exams.

"Attention, Participants. Hanabi of Mist committed suicide and has since been removed from the exams. Katsu Kazeraikou of Cloud has used his disk to remove himself from the exams. That is all."

And with that, silence came from over the intercom. It was clear that he made a point to let everyone know how the others were doing.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

To your left a door would light up. It had an Eagle on the door and from what you could see it was open. The choice is your to enter this door or not. Should you enter it however, you would see a portal that would take you to a distant and unknown place. This all depended on you. This was your choice and your exam. No one, not even your examiner, could decided and choose this for you.

[Frieda]

Table leg in hand, Frieda would watch as a path to a portal would open up. Sighing, she would get behind Mugetsu, pushing him forward ahead of her. "If I'm going, you're going first!" Table leg between them, she pushed him into the portal. "The Key has to be be through here..."

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As you stepped through the door and portal you would be instantly transported to a very large filed. The sun was still out here and the portal would leave once you and yours had came through completely. This field was massive, but before you stood a stone statue. The head of this statue would be pointing directly to the west of where your current location was. The wings were massive and if this creature was real you would be in a fight for your life against this master of the sky. If you looked in the direction of the gaze of the eagle another statue seemed to be coming out of the field. There was another statue staring off into the distance, it would be hard to tell where both of these statues were staring. You would have to investigate each one.

[Frieda]

Looking over the first statue, the Akimichi would look over the statue for keys with her naked eyes. Frieda would the flip her goggles on once more to scan over the statue, looking for a metal signature of a key. "There's gotta be a key somewhere. Maybe on this statue... or in it. Turning towards Mugetsu, she would point her way over towards the other statue. "Go check over there Snowflake, maybe there's a key on that one." Mugetsu immediately saluted and ran off in the direction of the other statue and frantically looked over the area for a key. Would either of them find anything?

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

There was no key to be found on or in the statue. However, what was seen is that the statue was weird int he fact that it moved. It seemed able to pivot around, but why this was is still a mystery. Your companion would find out that the other statue was the same way.The third statue was still unexplored but what was seen on each of the statues previously was the term "Beta". It was at this time you would notice that the moon was nice and ripe over head, even though it was daytime. You looked in the distance and could see mountains and even more trees. You saw birds flying in and out of them. Some where eagles, other hawks, and even more birds of unknown species.

[Frieda]

Noticing the direction of the statues, Frieda would shout towards Mugetsu to get his attention. Rotating her finger around she would shout. "Point it so that all three are in the same direction." Rotating her own statue, she would make it so that the statue was looking onward to the same spot Mugetsu was pushing his to the same location. Rushing off to the last statue, Frieda would rotate it so that it looked on at the same spot. Obviously they all had to look on at the same spot for this to work. Was there anything on this last statue though?

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As you moved the three statues together, the third statue did say something, more than the last. Gamma. Then below it was a plate that read as follows:

"The three of us guard the way. We are brothers that never see eye to eye. If this was to happen, then the heavens shall cry, for you shall die."

As you read this the earpiece would click to life. "Be careful. Perhaps the line is meant to scare you, or perhaps not. Either way, I would take care. Now if you choose I will grant you one thing, a door to take you back to the beginning. If not then proceed. The choice is yours."[/b][/i].

[Frieda]

"Tch. I'm not afraid of some statues" Frida yelled, taking in the warning as she turned her finger towards Mugetsu. "Turn your's so it's facing mine." Turning their respective statues, Frieda would rush back to the first statue and force it to look upon the previous one. "Stupid statues, trying to tell me what to do."

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

As the statues began to face once another a storm would magically appear. Lightning all around started to strike around the area. So much was striking that it was getting dangerous to be outside. A massive torrent of lightning struck the ground in the center, where all the eagles gazes met one another. Then a cracking noise could be heard behind you. The statues were beginning to grow. Their bodies were raising above ground and there, revealed at the bottom, that had been below dirt was a three giant rubies. Lightning would flash and hit the statues and the rubies would let out a beam of light that would connect where the lightning had hit. A massive "thud" could be heard and a path way was created. The three eagles stared at this place. Now what would you do? Go forth into this unknown or investigate the outside some more?

[Frieda]

Her mouth slightly ticking, Frieda would look over the pathway the statues had made. "Snowflake. Get down there. If there's anything down there that's dangerous roar once. I'll summon you out, got it?" Mugetsu heard the yelling and quickly ran over, barely dodging lightning in the process. The bear would go into this path warily, He wasn't sure what exactly laid of store. Pulling out her scroll, she would unroll the parchment and look down below the pathway. Her Xray goggles helping her see what might not be normally seen.

((Could you please describe the surroundings like the pathway a little more? I'm really starting to get a bit confused.))

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

The entrance to the underground was simply a hole that had stairs that led down. Once down the stairs it would flatten out into a tunnel. Around the entrance there was dirt that had been disturbed, but other than that there was just the field with the three large statues of the eagles. There was however, noises coming from the tunnel. If you listened closely it sounded like heavy breathing.

[Frieda]

Grasping the table leg she had broken off the table earlier in her hand, Frieda heard the heavy breathing and immediately reached into her pouch and retrieved a sun rod and replaced the table leg in it's wake. Lifting her foot up, she would strike the sunrod, activating it's light producing capabilities. "Snowflake. Follow me in." She muttered, deactivating her goggles and pulling a regular heavy shield from her back and slipping it over her arm quickly. She would shield herself, but allow herself enough room to see as she ventured into the tunnel. There HAD to be a key inside here, it was obviously not on the outside... so it had to be underground. Ready for anything, she pointed the Sunrod outwards in search of the key... and whatever was making the sounds, she was ready to beat the living hell out of whatever it was.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

You and your friends would keep following down the tunnel until you came out to a new area. It was much bigger, and torches lite the side of the room. Two tunnels separated, one to the right the other to the left. Odd thing was, the breathing sound was coming from both. One seemed much louder than the other. If you went right, the breathing will be much louder. Going left, it is still audible but only slightly more so than before. Splitting up may be a good idea, but there could be problems with that as well. What do you choose to do, oh brave ninja?
