"Welcome, Welcome one and all to the test of the body. And no I don't mean the test of the bodyyy." The Lord moved his butt around is a tempting fashion and the audience cheered and laughed alongside him. "To announce what challenges await our Princess and Princes, please help me in giving a warm welcome to the spiritual leader of Azarath, Azar."

   Everyone cheered loudly as Azar came from centre stage. "Today the princess and princes will face a most grueling test. Now be warned, none of them know of the challenge that awaits them. The challenge is a test of their physical peak. In order to pass it, they must perform grueling feats set in the obstacle course." At her command, a gigantic obstacle course the size of the stage appeared. "Oh hell no." John Stewart said from the audience. "That looks impossible." Bumblebee said. 

   "Alright, to start us off, Princess Raven!" From inside the stand Raven heaved a sigh and Robin put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll be fine." He said. "Thank you Robin, and just so you know I couldn't have asked for a better consort, or a better friend." She said and walked out. 'What did she mean by that?' Robin asked himself. 

   Raven looked at the obstacle course in surprise but stiffened herself, getting ready. An orb appeared at her side. "Please put your hand in the orb." She did as she was told and felt weakened immediately. It had been a draining orb, that would instantly take away all her powers and only give them back to her when she finished the test. 

   She got at the starting platform of the obstacle course and heaved a sigh. She was ready, she had been training for a long time for this. At once, the platform lifted her up and propelled her into the course. Propping her hands in between two edges of a steep wall, she began to climb using only her hands supporting her. Midway into the wall, she could feel her hands slipping but continued to push forth.

    Using only sheer willpower, she managed to pull through. But next came something even harder, the fire hoops. She would have to time it right and jump into the hoop, use strength but not too much to grab onto the handle hanging there and let the hoop propell her to the other hoop which she will then have to repeat the same proccess 3 more times.

    She jumped. The whole of Azarath and her friends gasped.
