<span style='color:orange'>Since everyone else is apparently too chicken......
"Battle, huh? Blast. We've been getting good scores, but I have a bad feeling about this test.....I'm more of a thinker than a fighter."
"Hush." said ninjutsu, not at all calmingly.
The buzzer sounded.</span>
Medabots Rp, eh?

<span style='color:blue'>"Not exactly our strong point but that's never stopped us before!" *Gyro and Flashcon were off as soon as the buzzer sounded.* "Flashcon, stay airborn, you fly faster than your run."</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"Don't worry about me." *Flashcon rose into the air.* "Just make sure that you can keep up."</span>
*The first obstacle they encountered was a large wooden gate.*
<span style='color:blue'>"Tch... I could jump over that..." *Gyro muttered.* "But they're ranking us on power here so better destroy it instead. Flashcon, Sparkler Blaster." *The gate exploded in a rain of splinters as Gyro kept on running.*</span>
*Unfortunately, the next thing barring his path, a collection of large boulders, wasn't so easy.*
<span style='color:blue'>"How the heck did they get these down here anyway?!? Tetra Crash!" *The powerful attack reduced the first rock to a pile of rubble but Tetra Crash was a slow attack, requiring a short recovery period between each use.* "Tch... This will take too long." *Gyro growled.* "Flashcon, time for an air lift!" *He grabbed onto Flashcon as the Medabot rose into the air once more. Although unable to fully support Gyro's weight, they often used this method to increase his jumping height and distance in addition to a sort of makeshift glider.*</span>
<span style='color:blue'>*In one jump the pair was over the boulders and gliding over the path.* "Shouldn't we have destroyed them?"</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"Screw that, you're not designed to break threw stones. Besides, we're being rated on speed too. We'll move as fast as we can and only destroy the stuff that's easy or that we can't get around." *Gyro let go and dropped back to the ground.* "Now come on, we're going for speed so we sure has heck better get it!</span>

<span style='color:pink'>"Let's go Sharkan!" Opal and her metabot went running off.
"Let's see, what object is up first...a screen door?" Opal lifted an eyebrow. "Hyper Kick!"
"Got it!" Sharkan jumped up and kicked threw the screen door.
"Good job!" Opal squeezed her way threw the screen door. As they went on, a new object was in the way.
"A tree? How do they do it?" She thought a loud. "Anyway, try to hyper kick it!"
"Rodger!" Sharkan used hyper kick, only making leaves fall and cracking the bark.
"Try again!" Opal didn't want to lose time by back tracking.
Sharkan took in a breath and used hyper kick at ful force, knocking it downwards. "Timber!"
"Way to go!" Opal smiled as they ran off again. </span>

<span style='color:darkcyan'>Hotshot shoved through the door after the buzzer sounded. He charged forward, toward a rock wall. Hotshot just shook his head, and quickly leapt from ledge to ledge to the top of the wall. He turned to his owner, who was climbing slowly.
"Come on! Your slowing us down!"
"Sorry! Im not as agile as you!"
Hotshot turned around and activated his long range vision, checking out the rest of the terrain.
"Piece of cake."
As Tiern came up, panting slightly, Hotshot had already leapt forward, sliding down the hill.
He just sighed, and ran after him.</span>

*Flashcon used his Ronin Blade to slice through a large stack of wooden crates, clearing the path, at least for the moment. Following their new strategy of focusing on speed over power, Gyro and Flashcon had already avoided a large tree and a stack of metal pipes. Next up was...*
<span style='color:blue'>"Look out! A steel door!" *Gyro, who had been running full tilt, tried to skip to a stop but tripped and went flying right into the door only to break right through, leaving a large hole in the obviously not steel door.* "The heck?" *He stood up, rubbing his head.* "Cardboard?" </span>
<span style='color:blue'>*Following Gyro's lead, Flashcon plowed through the fake door, demolishing the rest of the flimsy cardboard. Seeing another door up ahead he tried to do the same, only to smash into it with a loud clang. Fortunately, the damage he'd taken wasn't too severe.* "This one's real." *He muttered as he waited for Gyro to catch up."</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"Try your Ronin Blade!" *Gyro arrived at the scene moment later. Flashcon complied but the blade only scratched the door.* "Tch, ok then we'll have to bust it open. Tetra Crash!" *Three Tetra Crashs later the door was open and the pair was off again.*</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"What's that thing up ahead?" *Flashcon motioned towards a large mound of something or other.*</span>
<span style='color:blue'>"Don't know, don't care, we're airlifting over it!" *Gyro grabbed Flashcon and jumped and the two of them soard over the obstacle and reached...* "Yes, the end!" *They arrived at the other end of the hall. From the looks of things, no one else had finished yet.* "Well, our strength and power ratings might suck but at least we aced the speed." *Gyro leaned against the back wall and waited for the others.*</span>

<span style='color:pink'>"We should be near the end soon." Opal commented after they went threw many more obsticles, one including a dog house.
"Looks like we have to turn around, we're at a dead end." Sharkan sighed.
"Dead end my arse." Opal sneered. "Maybe it's a fake, try hyper kick!"
Sharkan jumped and kick the wall, harly scratching the brick.
"That's just great....wait...maybe.....try hydro cannnon!" She had an idea.
Sharkan shot the hydro cannon of water at the brick wall.
"Just a little bit more...that should weaken it. Try another hyper kick!"
Sharkan jumped up and made a big enough hole to get threw the wall.
"Horrah for erosion and crap!" She smirked as she crawled threw the hole, making it to the end.</span>

<span style='color:darkcyan'>Hotshot was easily maneuvering through the obstacles, having already seen ahead.
Tiern was pretty much lagging behind, but pretty much kept up.
Hotshot stopped at a large wooden wall.
"Darn... Power... definatly not my strong point..."
He began kicking and slashing at the wall.
"Wait! Hotshot! I've got an idea."
He examined the wall for a bit, and pointed at a few spots.
Hotshot nodded, brought up his gunarm, and fired at the spots. The wall quickly fell.
"Wow. How'd you think of that?"
"I don't rightfully know."
Hotshot shrugged, and kept running, to the other end. He looked around, noticing Gyro and Flashcon.
"Darn... we aren't the first..."
"That doesn't matter Hotshot."
"Whatever..."</span>

<span style='color:orange'>"Hmmm." said Wally just after the abstacles appeared. Use acceleration for 8 seconds!" He said. Ninjutsu plowed over the first few feet of obstacles quickly, with Wally not too far behind. There, a big wall came out of he ground. "Peh. They should really hide they're suprises better." he said, taking out his laptop and quickly scanning. "Let's see, I'll project holographic targets at each of the weak-points." he said, typig. Ninjutsu hit each of the targets, and the wall toppled like...something that tends to topple. "You hould be able to use acceleration flight to the end." he said, jumping over several more obstacles.
Later, but not too much later.....
"okay, we made it to the end. We probably failed that test."</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"We're probably not going to do to well on this one, either..."
"But we can't possibly do worse than we did on the last one, right?"
"I guess..." Antlan mumbled as the test began. And of course, the two of them were sprinting as fast as they could to start off since they were being graded on speed. The first obstacle in their lane was a pile of boulders.
"Antlan, try using Boomerang. That should at least knock some of the rocks on the top down so it'll be easier to get over. And don't stop moving!"
While still pretty far off, Antlan threw his horns which leveled the pile out a little. He reclaimed the bright yellow boomerang as he jumped over the boulders, then stopped on the other side to wait for Silver to get through. "Slowpoke!"
"Just keep moving..."</span>

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

<span style='color:blue'>*Gyro watched as, one by one, more people began to arrive. Still, so far only a handful had finished the course. Most likely they were ones who either excelled in power attacks or did as he had done and tried to use speed to make up for their lack of brute force. Yawning, he continued to wait.*</span>

<span style='color:darkcyan'>"I think that guy over there looks a little bit bored. I'll go talk to hi-" He was talking about Gyro. But, Hotshot, of coursed, interupted him.
"I wouldn't suggest it. Look at him, he looks like a thug! And his medabot! Also thuggish!"
Tiern clenched his fist.
"No! I'm tired of listening to you. I'm going to talk to him."
Hotshot just smacked his face.
"You'll be sorry..."
Tiern shook his head, sighing angrily, then moved over to Gyro.
"Hi, my names Tiern. Good job on getting through the course first."</span>

<span style='color:blue'>*Gyro looked up, surprised that someone was talking to him. He had seen this, Tiern before and he seemed to be doing fairly well in the tests. Although Gyro usually wasn't one to make conversation, he figured that there was nothing to be gained by ignoring him, at least not at this point. He didn't want to seem suspicious, not while he was on the Medaking's turf. Besides, there was always that chance that he'd learn something useful.*
"I'm Gyro, this is Flashcon. You could say speed is a specialty of ours, among other things. Not so sure about the power ranking though." *He noticed Hotshot shooting odd looks in their direction.* "Your Medabot ok? It's acting kinda weird?"</span>

"Sorry about that... Hotshot isn't very good at... trusting people... People say it's because he's paranoid that something bad is going to happen to me... And I'm beginning to agree with him... But it's nice to meet you."
He extended his hand.</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"Well, while we're probably not doing to well in the speed department, at least we'll get something for strength!"
"And we're not even going that slow; you've just been too lazy to post anything."
"Oh yeah. Funny how that works when I've been bored out of my mind basically since I got out of school."
"Less rambling about the person that's controlling you's problems! More destroying that big brick wall thing!"
"Ok, uh, try using Fire Punch!"
While Antlan's fire punch obviously wasn't enough to take the wall down, it did seem to do some damage.
"Hey, that looks like it kinda worked! You, uh... you keep doing that!"
A few fire punches later, the wall had been destroyed enough for the two of them to get by.
"We're coming up on another pile of rocks! Get rid of that one the same way you did the first one!"
Antlan's Boomerang knocked the boulders over so it would be easier to go over them.</span>
A heck of a lot of Boomeranging and Fire Punching later...
<span style='color:gray'>"I have a feeling we're almost done!"
"What makes you say that?" he grabbed his horns after having used them for a Boomerang attack.
"The guy in charge. You know, the one that's been too lazy to post anything."
Antlan just rolled his eyes.</span>
