Dark golden colored eyes slipped around to gaze at the people that stood there with him, nine other people with all different objectives. They each seeked the sanctuary at the end of the maze, now he himself actually didn't care about the grand prize he just wanted to test the reflexes and response time of his body at this point and what better way than to take the ultimate trap challenge. They had been in a big room with a large metal tv screen, the room was massive compared to himself and many of the others here, but the man on the tv seemed to be speaking that they had been accepted to take the ultimate test then pretty much cut off only saying that you survive or die to Vipers own ears. His eyes shifted to the opening door at that point, everybody gazed around no one wanted to take the first step into the room. A light sigh left his lips as he stepped through the doors into the darkness that surrounded the halls all except the little flicker of light and once everyone was through it was then that the doors slipped shut locking them inside.
It was then that the voice echoed on the loudspeaker telling them they were ready to begin and that the maze was open. Viper actually allowed a small smirk to cross his lips beneath the hooded cloak that covered his body, his face mask drawn up to cover his mouth and nose normally keeping the noxious fumes from reaching him on a daily basis. Beneath the cloak he carried the normal items that he kept on him, the composite longbow that rested on his back made lighter than a normal composite bow but also slightly weaker, and a quiver with fifty arrows. (Don't worry I will count them down as I use them) at his waist was two daggers that lay within their sheathes, and lastly in a small bag he held about five feet of rope that was curled up to fit into the bag. He wouldn't come to something like this unprepared not when he was always prepared for something. Many of the people had already taken off but he himself was looking around, that was until a bulking man came up to him his dark seemingly black eyes looking down at Viper.
"Can I come with you, I didn't want to be accepted it was just a game to my friends when they signed me up so please I don't wanna die?"
Viper merely nodded before beginning down the path, his boots practically made no sound as they made their way down the hallway to the end of it where it split in two directions. Luckily for him someone had just happened to be heading down the left path when they made it to the end, a small female girl that seemed frightened by the way she walked. She went to round the corner only to run smack dab into a group of men that seemed to only be looking to find out what the trap was that lay down that corridor and they found the perfect test subject. He shifted his boots to stand in front of the girl looking back at her, his eyes seeming to hold a small look for the girl to play along. She still seemed frightened but he could do nothing about that, he just nodded before hugging the girl.
"Sister I am so glad I found you, I didn't know they let those as young as you join, come on we need to move we only have two days to get going."
He grabbed her hand and went to move back down the hallway, his body shifting around to meet one of the group of three men. Even here the alcohol that bypassed their breaths was obvious, this maze of destruction and people were still drinking and doing what they shouldn't have. The man's burly form kept Viper from moving back to join with the taller man that he was with, this was a problem and could become ugly quite fast if they stayed. He growled slightly as the man shaking side to side finally began to speak a loud belch leaving his lips.
"The girl and you are going to make our path across this corridor, now be good little children and go"
Viper had lost at this point what was he supposed to do, his lips curled down in a seemingly snarl likely. He sighed though and stepped towards the edge of the corridor where the floor seemingly fell down and the sound of water leaking into the hallway made his own mind quiver. He looked across to the otherside of the hallway his golden hues focused upon the otherside of the trap, he looked down at the water his eyes focused upon the crystal blue liquid, what was the catch here? What kinda trap was this? His eyes scaled over the liquid for a moment before he heard the sounds of cackling, electricity it would route through the water, thats it he had a plan. He stood up just as one of the bigger men came up behind him and went to shove him into the water, Viper reached beneath the cloak and gripped the handle of a dagger. Using his size and speed to his advantage he spun qaround the man and ducked slamming the blade of the dagger into the back of his knee forcing him off balance forward.
The man stumbled to the edge of the platform before slipping face first into the water right as the electricity danced through the calm crystal blue liquid. When it died down he scooped up the small girl and jumped using the man that fell in as leverage to get them to the other side, when his boots touched the ground on the otherside he dropped to one knee to keep from falling back over the edge. He rotated around to look to the otherside of the platform where the last remaining of the group of men was picking on the man that he had picked up at the beginning, the two men were pushing and shoving him towards the end of the platform and the water, he fumbled beneath the cloak for a second pulling the bow down and two arrows from beneath it but it was to late the larger man was shoved in the water just as the lightning danced through it instantly killing him.
Viper knocked one of the arrows back in the bow and aimed upward releasing it for one of the larger men. The arrow spun through the air before slamming between the mans eyes forcing him to fall back onto the metal floor, his body crashing to the ground with a loud clang he shifted the second arrow up and aimed for the second man but he had already ran off back into the darkness disappearing from his sight. He tsked before sliding the bow back beneath the cloak and the arrow back inside the quiver to join the other forty-eight, and turned around sliding the dagger into its sheathe as he began walking towards the other voices catching up to one of the other groups that left an hour or so ago. A male and a female looking over the walls eyeing some form of numbers embedded into the walls, he didn't say anything just watched with golden eyes.
