The Beginning (A Flames Pond Fanfic)

Chapter 17

The five of them reached the empty training area and Kelsey set the course on the hardest level there is. She turned it into a game, whoever gets the best score gets no chores for the rest of the week and whoever gets the worst score gets the other fours chores for the week. The game went from oldest to youngest so Kelsey went first. It took her a hour to finish the course and she claimed it was because its been a while since she did the course. No one else believed her.
"Whatever," she said casually as her time went up on the board,"Logan you're next,"

Logan went and it took him the longer than Kelsey. Naomi and Joshua went and Naomi got fifty minuets and Joshua got thirty minuets. So the rankings was Joshua in first, Naomi in second, Kelsey in third, and Logan in forth. Now it was Adam's turn and he was nervous. Why is he nervous? He's nervous because the obstacle course is super hard. There are moving platforms, things getting swung at your head, and robots coming at you and it's one hundred feet up in the air.
Adam started climbing the ladder and a few minuets later he reached the top. He examined the obstacle course and Adam knew he could do it. He exhaled slowly and he started.

The first thing was easy. He had to walk across a tightrope to get to another platform and he had to jump from platform to platform until he reached a small wall that he had to climb. Adam did that and he saw a long row of rings that he had to use to get across. Adam got halfway through and he stopped since his arms were tired. He swung to get momentum and he reached for the ring. But it disappeared, in fact, the whole obstacle course behind him disappeared. Adam knew he would have to go faster. He hurried but he was too slow. A shrill scream came from him as he started falling. He heard his friends yell and for some reason Adam reached up and he imagined that he grabbed a rope to swing him up.

To his surprise, he did in fact grab a rope and he swung up to the next platform and the obstacle course stopped disappearing. "That was weird," he thought to himself as he continued course. Now came the part were he would battle robots and where he would dodge things flying at him. He fought the robots with ease and he breezed through the rest of the course. Except for the last thing, which was figuring out a way to get down from the obstacle course. Adam stood there and an idea came to mind.

"WOOHOO!" Adam shouted as he jumped off of the last platform.
The wind rushed through his ears and hair as he neared the bottom.
"ADAM YOU'RE CRAZY!!" Joshua, Naomi, Kelsey and Logan shouted.
"NO IM NOT!" He replied as he reached in the air.
He grabbed a skateboard out of thin air and he lifted his hand and a ramp appeared. Adam rode the skateboard down the ramp with a huge smile on his face and he reached the bottom. He stopped the skateboard and the ramp disappeared. Adam picked up the skateboard and he looked at his friends who were gawking at him. Adam glanced at his time on the clock and it said fourteen minuets and twenty-nine seconds. Adam had won the game. He looked back at his friends and they still were gawking at him.
"What?" Adam asked
They all closed their mouths and Kelsey spoke.
"It's true," she said.
"The prophecy...it's real," added Joshua.
Adam was confused.
"Y-you're the last person to join us special agents," Naomi noted.
Logan saw the confused look on Adam's face.
"What we mean is that we're all going to defeat the Fuzzy Guy with your help," Logan clarified.
That made no sense to Adam.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
No one answered but a voice behind him that was all too familiar to Adam,
"They mean you're their leader, son."
