Isaac and the others stepped out of their dorms to see a bunch of groups following a pathway with an arrow pointing towards the location they're heading to. The Pit. Alice led the squad to the pit following Brad, then Ryan, then Isaac. Isaac looked behind him to see Bruce in his training clothing. He was flexing his muscles and showing off while walking as a few ammount of the other female teens were interested while most were not. Isaac looked infront of him again and tried to do what Ryan did at first. "They aren't impressed..." Bruce stopped flexing as he looked at Isaac walking "What makes you say that you runt?" Isaac kept walking ignoring what he called him. "well most of them rolled their eyes. A few of them did smile at you though... try to show off a little less" Bruce wasn't pleased when he said that. He grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up while walking faster. "Listen to me punk.... I decide what to do. You're not my Mom so fuck off.." he placed him down making Isaac walk forward as he showed no sign of being afraid he didn't care that he grabbed him. "Well Muscles.... alright then" Isaac turned around and smirked. Bruce looked at him differently "h-how did you know I wanted that codename..." Isaac laughed a bit as they arrived "it's because it suits you. Im Isaac.." he extended his hand out as Bruce shook it a little being uncertain about his choice "Bruce.... listen, you tell anyone about me being your friend, ill give you one hell of a day." Isaac looked at the pit and replied "no promises." The four Drill Sergeants from earlier showed up from another door as they looked at everyone "ATTENTION SQUADS 001 TO 100! WELCOME TO THE PIT!" One of them yelled as the other had a chart rolled out covering his head to his knees as the other pointed at the chart with a stick. The last drill sergeant Yelled as well "YOUR OBJECTIVE IN THE PIT IS TO OBTAIN THIS DEVICE BEHIND ENEMY LINES IN A SIMULATION WITH YOUR SQUAD! YOU CANNOT BE CAUGHT OR ELSE YOU FAIL AND MUST DO A PUSH UP PER SECOND FOR YOUR TIME!" "FOR EXAMPLE! IF YOU FAILED AT ONE MINUTE AND THIRTY SECONDS, YOU MUST DO 90 PUSH UPS!" The squads were a little angry as they whispered to each other. Isaac, Ryan, Alice, Brad, and Bruce didn't mind the challange. "BE AWARE THAT THE PAR TIME FOR THIS SIMULATION IS FIVE MINUTES AND 3 SECONDS! BEAT THIS AND YOU SHALL HAVE ANOTHER SQUAD TO JOIN YOURS!"  "CODENAMES WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THE SIMULATION!" Isaac looked at the others as they were happy about the codenames. "NO PRACTICING, IF THIS WAS A REAL SITUATION AND YOU WANTED TO PRACTICE, YOU WOULD BE DEAD! WE START WITH SQUAD 100! AND AGAIN..." The four drill Sergeants looked at everyone and yelled out "WELCOME TO S.A.F.A. MAGGOTS!"
