Magnus:
I awoke with the others in a dim, cramped room. We all looked at each other, all scared. A loudspeaker came on, all it said was "You are now part of the tests, 5 hours ago you were all given an evolution serum, one which will keep you alive. It will help you to adapt to some of the most harsh environments imaginable. The rules of the tests are simple, evolve or die." With that, the loudspeaker went off. Conversation erupted in the room, "Be quite!" Tyler stepped forward, silence fell, "This, as we know, could be bad. But, whatever this test throws at us, we will rise, and fight for humanity!"
It was then that I got the sensation of being on a lift, I could feel us rising, me and Sage stood together. "What do you think will happen?" She queried. "I'm not sure, but I know that it can't be good." I was tense, pumped, ready. But who could have been ready for what happened next? The sensation of rising stopped. The large panel on the wall slid open and the world beyond it was revealed. It was a vast open space covered in dark, blue water. It swirled around viciously. I knew what this was, it was our first test.
We were standing on a small island about 3 metres long and 5 wide, all 12 of us, shaking at the sight of being surrounded by waters that looked lethal. The loudspeaker came on again, this time a different person. "This is your first test, your objective is to reach the other side of this ocean. It will not be easy, but let me give you a tip. If you want to live, push yourself to beyond what you thought you could do, do what you thought was impossible." Just as abruptly as last time, the speaker went silent.
