Sasha was amazed that even after walking them through it, they had gotten it wrong. Well, she had tried. They had taken a long time in each riddle, so she figured it was time to speed things up, if they wanted to get into the games, fortunately, nolan was good at the riddles too.

She smiled at him and nodded, as the voice said [color=fff200]"correct. Move on"[/color]

She did so, and this time when the voice asked the next riddle, she answered right away. [color=fff200]"congratulations. Keep on going. [/color]This thing is long and slim,
And works in the light,
It has just one eye,
And a painful bite."

She looked to the others and then said simply [color=6ecff6]"a needle. I hate sewing"[/color]

The voice has an amused quality to it, as it said [color=fff200]"correct, move on!"[/color] she smiled happily, and moved into the next room. she figured if the voice was still letting them do this, then they still has a chance, but she worried and wanted to get through the rest of the riddles quickly.

[color=fff200]Many feathers to help it fly,
a body and a head,
but it's not alive,
you determine how far it goes,
you can hold it in your hand,
but it is never thrown.[/color]

Again, Sasha looked to her team mates and said [color=6ecff6]"I think Trinity would have for this one easily enough. And easy for me, Arrow!"[/color]


They moved on. Four more to go, Sasha was eager. She liked these riddles and was glad she could contribute to the games, even sloghtlt. 

[color=fff200]A response to a mistake,
That when offered is suspected,
In desperation it is expressed,
The truth is apparently rejected.[/color]

Sasha blinked. The only thing she could think of was [color=6ecff6]"excuses. The truth is always put aside with an excuse"[/color]

[color=fff200]"very good. Three more to go. You better hurry on along"[/color]

Sasha nkdded, leading the way to the next room. 

[color=fff200]"Metal or bone I may be, many teeth I have and always bared, yet my bite harms no one and ladies delight in my touch. What am I?"[/color]

Sasha actually laughed, [color=6ecff6]"a comb"[/color]

With each correct answer, Sasha grew more confident. There was only two more, they could do this! 

[color=fff200]From house to house he goes, A messenger small and slight. And whether it rains or snows, He sleeps outside at night. What am I? [/color]

This one stumped Her for a few moments, until she chances to say [color=6ecff6]"a street or road?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"you don't sound so sure"[/color] the voice replied.


[color=6ecff6]"a street or road"[/color] she said again

[color=fff200]"correct. One more"[/color]

Sasha seallowed and moved up to the next room.

[color=fff200]First think of the person who lives in disguise,

Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.

Next, tell me what's always the last thing to mend,

The middle of middle and end of the end?

And finally give me the sound often heard

During the search for a hard-to-find word.

Now string them together, and answer me this,

Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss[/color]

She had to ask the voice to repeat it twicd mkre before she was confident in her answer.

[color=6ecff6]"a spider"[/color]

[color=fff200]"very good! Congratulations, Phoenix Wing A, you have made it into the games!"[/color]

Sasha looked to the others and grinned.

[b]announcer Jessie[/b]

[color=f6989d]"oh we! Cutting it close there! Let's see, that's Frnezy plant, Iron Enigma, Pirate Lord, Phoenix Wing A, the riders....that means there's three more spots left! What's going on dragon Fang? Phoenix Wing B? You better hurry on up!"[/color] Jessie said energetically, grinning and looking to Ferris, just missing Dragon Famg completing the challenge.

Michael really didn't know what to say. He squirmed, and spluttered, blushing terribly, and tried to focus, but couldn't. [color=00a651]"I-i-i oh. I'm o-only s-s-seventeen, and y-y-y-youre asking a lot"[/color]

Gabriel chuckled [color=8dc73f]"we'll be 18 on six more days, Micky!"[/color] Gabriel enjoyed tormenting Michael.
