"Well if your dead you won't be able to control them!" TJ says, just guessing and hoping and having no true proof. "And we're determined to end you and your reign... Right Rose?" He said, turning partially to his friend to make sure she was alright. The last part he had added as a hesitant after thought to his friends.

(What if the friends were turned into grey ones and sent to kill them? Could begin part 2 or something if you want. ^w^)

(That is a great idea, I already have a play for the storyline, but I will include that idea in a way in the future ;D... also feel free to stab Tiffany)
"Even if I can't control them, I will find a way to end you!" She shouted as the roots wrapped around her, pinning her in place, she gave him a glare as she struggled, though not going any where, "Kill me, I dare you!"

"Yes," Rose said shotting TJ a glance, a smile spreading across her face as she looked at them, her face red, "I will stand beside you till the ends of time."

Back to the others... or well, Kenzie ;P
They found themself in a nice room with an orange floor, of course, there were windows that where orange and there was a hallway.

( *evil planning*... and I definitely didn't forget about Kenzie and the others.)

TJ smiles greatfully at Rose, glad she had his back. When Tiffany declares her challenge, TJ falters. He didn't... want to kill her... did he? But... how else would her rule end? He walks closer to her, willing the roots hold her steady.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry it had to end this way, Tiffany." TJ says, trying to keep his composure as he raises the sword
and brings it crashing down to end the evil sorceress.

Kenzie glances around the room, making sure they wouldn't break anything. "Hullo?" Kenzie calls before taking a step forward to the hallway.

(Oh good thing you remember them, because they are stopping by to visit XD )
Tiffany frowned when TJ brought the sword down an her, "You win this challenge, for now," She gave one last smile before crumbling into dust.

"Was-s that f-fake?" Rose asked trembling, noticing how the plants and trees had disappeared, leaving behind a very pink floor, "I th-hink it's my turn," She said shivering at the thought of what she must face, though she knew what was going to happen.

The ground trembled around Kenzie as Garry, Cobra and Hayden appeared out of the ground, all with their eyes closed.
"You will fail," A voice echoed from somewhere, sounding loud as the noise bounced around the room, "You will lose!"
After those last words all three of them opened their eyes, they where pools of grey.

( XD Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!)
"Another test!? I'm really starting to hate this place." TJ mumbles to himself before holding his hand out to Rose, "Well whatever it is, we'll do it together. I shall always stand by you." TJ says.

***

Kenzie backs away from them, before pausing and going into a defensive stance. "Whoever said I'd loose? Every time I've played, I've won. And where did you come from! Are you just replicas of my friends or my actual friends? And where's Rose and TJ... Not that you'll answer any of those questions, huh." Kenzie says, flipping out their pocket knife while keeping their new staff in hand.

(Ah yes, the master planner is back XD (Aka me with my confusing complex planning))
Rose shifts nervously as she takes his hand, ignoring the way her face turned red, what would happen next would be way worse.
"Rose," A wail came from behind them and Rose froze, she knew who it was, then another came, "Rose, you promised," Rose gasped, placing her other hand over he mouth in horror and fear a person stepped out of the shadows, her brother.

"Oh, are you confused, poor child," The voice said before laughing, "To complete the stage you must kill your friends."
Cobra turned to Kenzie, his grey eyes focused on her, "Come here," He said in a hollow voice as he slithered forward, a spear held tight in his hand, "I mean no harm."
Hayden was watching, an amused smile on his face, "Miss me?" He said in the same hollow tone as he stepped forward, a golden staff in his hand, which he held over his head, "I think you want to have some fun..."
Garry was waiting, tapping his stick every once and awhile, as if he enjoyed the noise.

(*nods* Missed the master planner.)

TJ steps closer to Rose, a tiny bit confused by the boy's outburst, and a tiny bit scared cause he didn't know what he was up against, not that he ever had. "What promise? Who is this? You don't have to answer my questions."

***

Just disarm them Kenzie reminds themself as they step forward and rap their staff against both of Hayden's wrists on the part that was sure to cause the most deal of pain. "and what game would that be? What rules?" Kenzie says, and without checking his reply to that, Kenzie turns on her heel and faces Cobra, the one that was most intimidating before rethinking and lashing out at Garry with their staff to try and get his stick away from him so he would just. Stop. That. Noise. It was distracting.

"My-y br-rother," She didn't tell the whole truth, the truth was, her brother was dead.
"You promised I would be okay," Her brother wailed at her, making her flinch, "You lied to me!"
"It wasn't my fault," She sobbed as her brother gave her an accusing glance, "Dad threatened to kill me!"
"Yeah and you ran," He brother wailed as he started to cry, except his tears where blood, "You left me to face him!"

"Game? Rules? Simple, kill!" The voice said as Cobra darted forward, lashing at Kenzie with his spear, his fangs bared at her, "Are you ssscared?"
Hayden yelled in pain as they hit him and dropped his spear, only to go and fetch it soon after, once the pain had faded.
Garry gave Kenzie a glare as the stick he was holding was knocked out of his hand, he ran to get it, ignoring the fact that he was unarmed.

TJ is silent as he watches the scene, giving Ross's hand what he hopes is a comforting squeeze to remind her that he is there for him. He wasn't sure what her brother wants. Maybe it would be best if he didn't bring attention to himself and try to figure out how to help when he knew a bit more about the situation. When the brother started crying blood, TJ felt his stomach go into knots.

Kenzie ducks Cobra's blow and runs away from their friends when a hole opens up for them in the friends circle. "No! But, you should be afraid of me!" Kenzie shouts back at the snake. They put the knife back in their pocket to make sure they didn't injure anyone.

"It wasn't my fault," Rose said, feeling fear knot hard and cold in her stomach, then she felt TJ squeeze her hand and felt all her fear fade away to leave only one thing behind, courage.
"I'm sorry brother, I should have helped you, but how would I know father would turn and take his anger out on you," Rose said, glad her voice was shaking no longer, her head was reeling with thoughts and guilt lay heavy in her heart, though she knew it was not her fault, "I'm sorry, I should have never promised."
Her brother stopped and froze, "I never blamed you, it is what you feared in your heart, you must see it was never your fault, good luck for what lay ahead," He exploded into a cloud of dust, leaving a surprised Rose, feeling gratitude fill her she turned and gave TJ a hug, "Thank you," She said before pulling away, her face going red again.

Cobra snarled, slithering forward, only to stop as he realized the others where not with him. Turning around he gasped as he saw Garry and Hayden fall through a hole that had randomly appeared in the floor.
"You fear me the mosst, ssso now you mussst face me," Cobra said in the same hollow voice as the others as he slithered after Kenzie, trying to jab them multiple times with his spear.
