The next few moments are like a blur, all Seth remembers is the little girl, Melody healed him and he and the boy Tyler accepted joining some organization. They each stepped on a square and he felt like his mind cleared. A wall rose between them and he heard a few faint pounds. Melody told them they needed to pass a test with barricades and holograms. Then weapons appeared. He looked at his choices before grabbing two submachine guns. "Any test with guns should be fun. I'm ready!" the wall in front of him revealed a half-mile long obstacle course with hologram Antis and insane obstacles. "Why couldn't this be a firing range?" Seth muttered. "There is no time limit. If complete it without dying, you pass." Seth looked at the traps. "Is that a pit of fire? And what is that huge lump over there?" Seth asked, slightly regretting his choice. He started to walk, shooting down an Anti from a distance. He reached the rock wall and pulled himself up. The Anti at the top was yanked down and the resounding goo splatter was a sure sign the Anti was dead. He looked down and sure enough, it was dead. Seth slid down the other side of the wall and shot a few more Antis. He jumped over the previously mentioned pit of fire and shot the Antis off a bridge. He continued, clearing a few obstacles and after 30 minutes, was about to finish. "Oh God. The lump can't be..." the lump began to move and became a huge creature with many arms, each with something sharp and dangerous. Seth pumped clip after clip of shots into every part of it but it didn't work, the skin was too thick. He immediately began to close in, hoping he would kill it. He remembered the claw, still tucked into his belt. He smashed it down on one of the arms and felt it slice through. It screeched in pain but Seth slashed another. He dodged swipes from its 22 remaining limbs, which began to tangle, cutting a few more arms in the process. It had now 15 arms, most of which higher on its slug-shaped body. Seth cut one arm down to where it stemmed from the body. He reached in, holding a gun, and fired into it. It fell into a huge puddle of goo, which evaporated. Seth raised his arms up and then walked to the finish line. The obstacle course evaporated and the adrenaline which carried Seth to the end ran out. He fell, exhausted but victorious.
