Jack sighed.
"It is a long story and we have little time. She is in the custody of extremely powerful creatures, who abducted her and us from our respective worlds. They sent us here for their amusement. If we die, we return to our prison. If we reach the exit and succeed, we will also return to that prison with no way of coming back with her as far as I know."
A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. -Lao Tzu"We are all from various alternate universes. We 'Challengers', Naoto-san among us, were plucked from our respective realms by capricious deities called Nomads, to complete in 'Challenges' for their amusement. If one of us is killed during a Challenge, that person is teleported back to a 'Common Room', some locale outside the dimensions. As Naoto-san was killed during this particular Challenge, she is thus waiting back at the Common Room. However, a Challenger who falls cannot rejoin the in-progress Challenge."

She raised her voice to cut them out though she only started speaking when they were finished talking over each other, "She is already out of here and we seek to join her."

How can you be in two places at once when you're not anywhere at all?Some of the teens backed away from Rey, with the exception of the blond and the silver haired boys. The silver haired boy just gave him a 'calm down or you will regret it' look while the blond was about to shout back. He was cut off though as the brown haired girl said "Look lets just calm down. Yelling isn't going to solve anything. Yes we know where the exit is, we just came from there." They started to walk back where they came from as the black haired girl said "Just follow us, its not too far. Its pretty safe around here so you don't have to worry about any Shadows popping out anywhere."
About five minutes later, every single wooden chair in the room had been demolished, and Link had a grand total of sixty blunt arrows, which he placed in his quiver.
"Now..."
Drawing the Master Sword, he made a faint circular scratch on one of the walls, following that up by drawing multiple smaller circles inside it. Quite unnoticeable to the untrained eye at range, but very visible to him.
He positioned himself about forty meters away.
"Time for target practice."
Drawing a blunt arrow from his quiver with practiced speed, he loosed it at the target.
Jack bowed low.
"Thank you very much. Your help is most appreciated."
He gestured for the rest of the group to follow and walked after Naoto's associates. At last, they would be free of this realm. However...
"Just in case we cannot return Naoto to you, are there any messages you wish us to pass on?" he asked. "I am sure she misses you."

Icarax was no exception; though he chose to become a great warrior and forsake the his jod of invention, the intelligence that was naitive to his species had not left him.
Icarax tossed the completed cube back to Link, he simply radiated content.
"Got anything better for me?"

Kimimaro followed, attuning his senses to the memory of Rey's Darkness-based powers, ready to act if the now-unstable man called them up without a clear reason.

And a Strange Figure Emerges.Teddie managed to yank Dex-Starr off his face, but the became saddened again at the mention of Naoto. His sadness alleviated, however, upon seeing the other teenagers, particularly the pig-tailed one.
The cat flew of up to, plopped right on top of the idol's head, and happily meowed.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HITTING HELPY!!The group soon came upon an area similar to the one they all first appeared in. The arrangement of the outlines on the ground were different and in the middle of the area was a stack of T Vs. The blond boy turned to Jack and said "Tell her that we'll help get you guys out, even if it means beating up a few shit heads that think they're gods!" The red haired girl giggled and pet Dex-Starr, not bothering to ask how it could fly and why it was wearing a red jumpsuit.
The bear ran over to the T Vs and pointed at them. "You gotta go through these to get outta here." he said.
"Many thanks, my friends" Kimimaro bowed to the group. "We will inform Naoto-san that you send her your regards."

"Thanks."
Still supporting Ron, he walked back through the door into the corridor.
Finding a room with the name "Ron Swanson" on it, and deducing it to be his, he looked inside and was pleased to find a bed.
Placing the man on it, he then crept out silently.
Hopefully the poor guy will wake up soon.
Walking back out into the Common Room, he rummaged inside his pouch before coming out with an object remarkably similar to a Rubik's Cube.
"Here." He tossed the object to Icarax.
"See if this will curb your boredom."
"Try to align each square with that of the same color to form a single colored face."
He smirked.
"Good luck."
Winking at the Doctor, he settled back into his chair and resumed fletching, whistling as he went.
