"HEY!" Her voice wasn't nearly as dainty anymore. She twirled her hammer, flew up into the air, and then rocketed downward, slamming it onto the ground where he had been, causing a large earthquake and some fissures. "You don't want to mess with me. And I'm definitely not 'fancy.'"

She rubbed her burned spot. He was gonna pay. Big time.

"Hello?" RedBear ran over Jack and Vixen. "Whats happening here?" RedBear looked at them with a confused expression.
(Though if he has his full defense 'activated' he would be invincible, I don't do that because it wouldn't be fun. Maybe sometimes, but not often.)

Isa’s head was hurting.

She had woken up in a sort of maze with her head pounding and her mind utterly confused. She didn’t remember coming here at all.

Where am I?

She stood up, tucked her body into a corner, and entered her mirage state. Her entire translucent mirage, shaped like her body, glowed blue, like her eyes.

Now, where to go?

She drifted through walls, straining for any noise, any life. Then up ahead she heard a yell and footsteps. She rushed through the walls in front of her and appeared in a hall already occupied by three people. One with an amazingly huge hammer, one with red eyes and hair, and one with a black/green color scheme.

They seemed to be in conflict.

Well, Isa could do conflict.

But not now. It seemed like they were in conversation, about what she didn’t know. Maybe they had been magically transported here too.

I can force them to give me information if I need to, Isa reasoned, drawing closer. But first, I’ll see if I can get it out of them peacefully.

“Hey!” she yelled. Her mirage could still speak as loud as her body could. “Do any of you know where we are, huh? How we got here?”

RedBear looked at Isa, she gave off a hostile vibe. When he tried to read her mind it was..different. After a few seconds he was able to and he realized her intentions. RedBear didn't like what could happen and the danger. RedBear couldn't tell who was good and who was bad so he just vanished. He had become part of the wind. Drifting off in whatever direction he could go.

The guy with red hair was looking at her strangely. And then suddenly he just vanished. Like a magician. Isa peered around the space. Was he invisible or actually gone?

“Well.” She smoothed her mirage hair and gave the remaining two a smile, one she hoped didn’t look too fake. “You two seem lovely.” She looked them over again. The girl’s hammer was huge. Too huge for a normal person to lift. She must have super strength or something. And the guy... she couldn’t get a read on him. He could have any power. Or maybe none at all. Although Isa kinda doubted that at this point. Three of them out of four had some special ability. It would make sense if Green Eyes had an ability, too.

“Can I ask how you got here?” Isa asked to the two remaining people, her voice dripping with sickly sweetness. “And also where we are? Because I have no idea.”

Vixen sat on top of her huge hammer, looking down at the other two.

"Well, I just sort of appeared here. Some voice from a speaker told me that I've been put into a contest with a prize of oreos."

RedBear soon appeared somewhere the looked too empty, too clean. RedBear proceeded carefully when things began twisting and turning and the air smelt...funny. Then he started seeing things. "Gas?" RedBear could hardly walk straight and he fell to the ground before he finally managed to remove all the chemicals from his body and shielded his lungs from it. "What is this now, Saw?" RedBear continued walking through the labyrinth slightly dazed.

“Oreos, huh?” Isa mulled it over in her mind. “Well, I suppose then we’re competing.” She did like Oreos. More than that, though, she liked to win. She liked to be the best.

“Well, then, see you later.” Isa flashed her companions a devilish smile and zoomed away, back through the walls of the maze to where she had left her body. It was safe, for the moment, tucked away. Isa longed to leave it there. Her primary weakness, left far away and safely out of sight of the competition. Just where she liked it.

But she needed solid fingers to lift the Oreos.

Screw it. Isa flew back into her body and shakily stood up. She’d make it somehow with her material body. Even though it would be such a burden. Especially if there were any traps or if she had to fight in here.

Alrighty then, Isa thought, walking forward into the maze. Let’s win a prize.

RedBear soon managed to run into Isa. "Ugh I hate mazes." He would try to talk but he didn't feel as if she could be trusted but everybody has a good side...right? 'Gah screw it!' RedBear thought, then he spoke. "Hey..uhh, sorry I don't know your name." The hairs on his neck stood. She was different, and her mentally unstable to do what he learned. RedBear was ready to battle if he needed.

Vixen didn't bother about mazes. Who needed to find your way when you could smash your way? She knocked down a wall with her hammer, and then another one. However, on the third wall, magma exploded out of it and began flooding the area. She ran through the tunnels to escape it.

Isa looked at the red haired guy standing next to her. The one who had disappeared into thin air. He's probably got some other trick up his sleeve, Isa reasoned, mentally cracking her knuckles. But I bet I can take him out. One little mental projection, and he's mine.

But she didn't advance. This guy didn't seem hostile. And Isa wasn't feeling particularly bloodthirsty.

"I'm Isabella. Isa for short." She gave the redheaded guy a quick smile. "And you are?"

"RedBear." RedBear instinctively put out his hand to shake but quickly put it away again. "So did you just wake up in this place to?" RedBear repeatedly looked up and down Isa checking to see if she was going to do anything.
