Mali followed the others, lagging far behind. Her legs quivered with the sheer knowledge that she could fall and everything would be finished, so she had to go extremely slowly to avoid tripping over her own two feet. Eventually, she reached the top of the stairs and stopped with the others, glancing over at Soba and Liu Mei, but saying nothing.
Apparently, they had to go through the exam with Soba and Shinju. She sighed heavily and barely stopped herself from groaning audibly. "We're near enough to the top that we can catch the platform when it arrives, right?" she asked wearily, tentatively sitting down on the ice despite the cold.

The platform did arrive. It was huge, spanning over an area of twenty thousand meters. On it mechanical functions could be seen, steaming and pumping, gears whirring and fires roaring. It seemed as though mechanics was the main th eme of this part, which would mean, no earth or magic could be effectively used. Small drone-type robots hovered around, moving mechanically and scanning the land. The machine then gently touched the ice stairs, and several cracks were heard at the bottom, echoing their way up.
The crystal staircase was shattering.
IT seemed to have lost its magic, due to the machines magic-resistance energy radiating from the (possible) core running the whole contraption. The platform then let out a metalic stairway to the examinees, who would die, if they do not grab the ladder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A robot drone slowly maneuvered itself to a giant machine.
"WE HAVE DETECTED CARBON LIFE FORMS OUTSIDE THE GATES."
"Commence in letting them in." A dark and deep voice commanding.
"COMMENCING RETRIEVAL DRONES SHALL BE SENT TO HUNT THEM DOWN."

Oh gods. Tama shrieked alerting her master has he sprang up and called to the girls. "C'mon we need to get out of Here!" He bolted up the stairs to the platform. Nevermid the fact that he was exasuted and nauseated. "C"MON OR WE'LL DIE!"

Mali's eyes widened as she felt the staircase beginning to crack. Despite her natural weariness, she scrambled to her feet, just barely supressing a loud shriek. She followed Soba up the stairs, running faster than she thought she ever had, stopping and panting once she reached the platform. The entire thing looked ominous, but Mali supposed it was better than dying on the staircase.

Jade ran really fast up the stairs with Mali. She breath in heaviyly out of panick and tried not to fall down. She fall down once she reach the platform, and thinks about going Mali way a sleep. "I hate exams," she said in bitter

Liu Mei's eyes widened as she heard (and felt) a large crack. Frozen in fear, she looked down at the stairs to see them shattering. She then heard Soba say "Come on!" Her common sense kicked in then, and she ran faster than she ever had, and made it up to the top, then collasped in a heap. Her lungs felt like they were on fire. Looking around, she saw everyone was there...except Sui. Looking over the edge, Liu Mei called "SUI! HURRY!"

OOC:OMG!!! So much has happened!!!
Sui got up and whipped a Yeti. She began to follow the group. Great always the last one. The one that always falls behind. Sui shouted aloud,"Move!! I'll make the steps more reassuring!!! Get out of the way!!!" Sui began to make crazy movements. Anger was breaking out. How are we going to get out of this!? The cave-dweller was just some fake!! Raito is a psychopath and I am is stuck here in a HORRIBLE SITUATION!! I hate this!!! What have I done to deserve this!! "Liu get away from Soba he needs space! Soba get real!! We need to work together!! Don't give it all you got just yet!! There's more coming our way!!" Sui tied her hair back into a bun. She was serious now more than ever. She ran with her "allys" beside her. I hope I can trust them.
Sui began to scream at the sky so Raito could here,"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?" She gave a smirk and muttered,"Just like practice back at home."

Shinju jumped and nearly fell as she felt, rather than heard, the crack from below.
What the... Then Soba and the others were racing up the stairs as Shinju realized with suddne horror that if they didn't reach the plateform, the stairs would collapse beneath them. Trying not to look down, she began to follow the others up and up to the plateform that was resting above.

"Come on Sui! Grab my hand! If you stay any longer you'll die!" Liu yelled, extending her hand. "Raito won't let you fix the stairs, he'll just make them break faster!" she screamed to her partner.

"I know what I'm doing........", Sui said in a strong confident voice. She threw ice like thorns directly into the heart of the Yetis'. Her father had taught her how to aim from a distance. Sui bit her lip hard. Blood oozed from the bottom of her lip. I need to be qiuck. Sui stood in a solid stance. Her eyes became lighter as the vibe got tenser. Her eyes looked like ice spikes with a dark center. "KEEP GOING LIU!!!! This will take two seconds." Sui made violent movements. Back and forth. The stairs began to shake and became solid. Sui ran beside Liu. Without looking at Liu she said,"I told you I knew what I was doing."

Liu Mei gave Sui a friendly smirk. "Alwyas gotta be right, huh?" she said with a smile as they ran towards the platform. "But we should still go with the others. You know, safety in numbers and all."

Although Sui tried hard to keep the stairs fixed, Raito scrunched his face. He started to chant some words and from the sky fell many glass cranes. They seemed lifeless, in a falling state of obliviousness; this gave them a sort of peace or calm. The cranes hit and shattered the stairs, the other cranes shattered on the Metal Machine Platform, causing glass to fly and travel among the floating metal island.
Horyo had appeared behidn Raito.
"That was a good clone, but I think you overdid my acting." He said calmly.
"Heh, well they didn't suspect a thing, they probably think I murdered you, but this is what happens in real life, unexpected things happen, now they have to work together before the final exam. I hope they do learn about each other, or else there is no chance of survival in this exam or the next." He smiled and then tarted to watch them.
"You're not gonna kill them right?"
However, Raito gave no response to Horyo's question, he kept eyeing them.

Soba made a flying leap and laned on the platform however....he twisted his ankle badly and hissed loudly. "AHSSSSHHH" He wince and held his ankle pain as he looked to the girls joining him.

Sui smiled at Liu,"Yeah, I was taught that the hard way." Sui jumped and landed next to Soba. She stared at Soba with fear. This can't be HAPPENING!!!! If he's hurt...... I don't know what I'm going to do. She exhaled heavily. "You're not hurt are you?", She asked Soba. She could see the pain that Soba was going through. I'm such an idiot it's pretty obvious. He's holding his ankle and his eyes tell it all.
Sui sighed and rolled up her sleeves. "Don't flinch or anything. I can tell that your in pain. I'm going to heal you. You can breath in and out or think of something peaceful." Sui got on her knees. She began to bend her water. The water slowly floated on to Soba's ankle. Sui wrapped her fingers onto Soba's ankle. A sudden glow flashed. "Better now? Come on." Sui got up and put her hand out to help Soba get up. "We got to get out of here alive." She smiled at Soba.
What do we do now?

Soba closed his eyes and thought of the cave his family. When he open them he now longer felt the pain in his ankel. He looked at Sui and blinked. "Oh. Thank you." A purple tinge was acrossed Soba's mocha cheeks.
