Zach finally woke up.  "Ugh!!!," he yelled out and started to breath heavily, "What's happening?"
"Do you remember anything from 1990?," Min asked.
"What?"
"Do you remember anything?  You know anything about the day you were born, where you were born, little Issac, or your parents."
Zach shifted as if he was uncomfortable.  "How did you know?"
"I told them," Issac replied.
"Did you tell them who took care of you?"
"Uhh...... No," Issac started sweating and scratched the back of his head.
"Who is it?!," Arden asked.
"It was Kitsu, but then Randall didn't want her taking care of me so he sent me to some woman named Haru with a daughter named Hyo-Ri."
"Haru?  Hyo-Ri?,"
"Yeah.  Why?"
"They sound familiar."
"Well, Haru apparently became my mother and Hyo-Ri became my sister."
"Do you remember their last names?"
"Hyun"
"Hyun?!," Arden said loudly, "Th-tha-that's my actual last name!!!"
"What?  I thought it was Sumi?," Min said.
"The last names they give us are our mother's last names, not the father's.  Some of my memories are starting to come back by the way."

Zach was in a coma for three days.  Min and everyone else were still surrounding them and were surprised that Kitsu and the onis were still not bothering them.  "So," Min said to break the awkward silence, "what are we going to do now."
Everyone looked at each other then turned to Min in a pissed off look.  Issac then said, "I don't know.  We've been sitting here for three days waiting for something to happen, Kitsu and the onis suddenly disappeared, and we don't know why its this quiet or why nothing is happening.  But most importantly, we've literally stayed in this same room for three days and don't know what's going on out there!!!"
"Okay, calm down.  If you wanted to you could've stepped ouside for a second."
Issac looked at the broken doorknob and got angry.  "You five broke the doorknob off so that I couldn't get out!  Why do you need me to stay anyways?!" He pointed to Arden, Hayoung, Weylie, Min, and Kina. 
"Because," Arden said, "We need you to tell us more about that time."
"What?"
"What happened to you and how are you still alive?"

It's been twenty four hours since Zach passed out.  He woke up and looked around.  He saw Min, Arden, Hayoung, Weylie, Kina, and Issac.  When he saw them, he still had the infection in his blood, so he didn't see them as themselves; instead, he saw them as onis.  He grabbed both Min and Issac by their shirts and said, "You!  We'll kill you two and your friends!  And also your leader, Kitsu!," and started slapping them on the face.  Arden and Hayoung pulled them away from him and slapped Zach back in the face.
"What's wrong with him?," Hayoung asked.
"He's still infected and hallucinating.  He thinks we're onis.  He's also traumatized, scared, paranoid, and panicking at the same time," Issac said in an unhappy tone.
"How do you know that?"
"That's one good thing about someone being pecked.  You can tell how they are feeling and what's going on in their minds.  Since he's scared of the onis, panicking about the Wild Dog, traumatized and paranoid about what is happening now and before, he thinks that we are onis."
"What happened before?"
"Since I'm so lucky that I still remember, I, barely, remember about what happened to my parents in 1990.  My parents, his parents, and all of our parents, including yours, were also in a similar situation as us.  Kitsu and her onis were also there.," Issac started to tear up.
"And what happened?"
"Our parents died.  They killed them.  They killed them all.  That's why we were with Randall and Andrea and came here.  Randall and Andrea wants us dead.  And we are going to die.  The same thing to our parents will happen to us."
"How do you remember this?," Min asked.
"Because I was born here in the Unknown Trials and this memory was almost impossible to remove."

Chapter 6

It's already been a few days since Kitsu and the onis disappeared.  "Ugh!  Where is the Wild Dog already?!," Issac complained, "Did you even call him?."
"Uh, I couldn't really get a signal in this area and your tech people couldn't really do much so I guess we would have to wait a few days, Zach said then scratched the back of his head.
"What?!  Why didn't you say anything to Winston?!," Arden yelled.
"I did!  He has my device and he is having trouble fixing it!"
"What?!," Winston said, "No you didn't."
"Yes I did!  See!  I don't have anything in any of my pockets."  The device fell out of his pocket and Zach looked at it with confusion.  "Huh?  I thought I gave it to you."  It was quiet and everyone just looked at him.  "Stop looking at me!," he yelled then jumped on kina and started punching her.
"Zach!," Kina yelled, "What are you doing?!  Why are you like this?!"
Min heard them and started running to them, panicking.  "Someone!," Min yelled, "Check his skin under his shirt or something."  Min jumped on Zach to let go of Kina and lifted his shirt slightly.  His stomach was covered in scars and blood and was also pecked by the infected crows.  "He's infected!  Jo give me the injections!," he injected the liquid in the scars and pecks.  "Now take him to the room and cure him."  Zach passed out and Jo took him to the room.

Kitsu and the onis all ran and were about to kill her until Zach pulled out a gun and shot two out of five of the onis with silver, poisoning and killing them.  They all stopped what they were doing and were shocked.  "Wha-what was that?," Kitsu asked.
"It's silver," Min said, surprisingly, "It may not kill you, but it kills the onis, which will still help us kill you."
"Ugh, finally you said something smart," Weylie said.
"How did you know that Hayoung was the strongest?  Aren't I the strongest?," Zach asked.
"No, you are always in fear.  Hayoung is hard-headed and is always confident and brave.  You can tell if you see her ora," Kitsu said.
"Hah," Min said and smiled, "Who's the weak one now?"
Zach pulled out a gun and pointed it to Min which caused him to get scared and run away.  Kitsu and the onis vanished, making everyone worried.  "What are we going to do?," Kina asked Zach, "How are we going to kill Kitsu?"
"Honestly," Zach replied, "I don't know.  We might have to signal the Wild Dog."

Everyone thought that Zach was going to shoot Issac.  "Okay, okay, I get it can you just chill?," Issac said.
"Uh? No!  You people are so annoying because you are always so clueless!  All you guys do is ask stupid questions!  If you don't listen, I'm leaving and you will have to work with the Wild Dog do you understand?!?," Zach said furiously.
Arden gasped.  And started yelling and cursing at Zach because she knew that the Wild Dog wouldn't help them if they asked questions, instead he would just kill them all or make them suffer in pain.  "Why are you always like this?!," Arden yelled, "All you think about is yourself!"
"Every single stupid person in this trial is so annoying!  All the other trials knew what to do and never asked stupid questions!  Even the little girls are stronger than this little Min!," Zach exclaimed furiously.
Hayoung was suddenly trapped.  Kitsu and the onis were surrounding her and were ready to kill her.  "I think it's time to kill the strongest.  Ichi, ni, san, ikimasu!," Kitsu yelled in Japanese.

"What?  Who are you?  How is all this happening so fast?  Can someone just explain everything to me?  What's going on and HOW AM I THE WEAKEST?!,"  Min asked quickly.
"Okay Min, I'm going to explain everything to you if you can just stay calm for the entire time, but I just can't explain how you are the weakest because you are so weak to the point where I can't even explain it to you anymore, "  Zach said.
"Okay."
"So, this is Kitsu and she is a seventy nine years old," Min gasped when Zach said her age, "she looks that young because she knows how to take care of herself and make herself look like whoever she wants and whatever age she wants to look like.  Now do you understand?"
Everybody was quiet until Issac was confused and asked, "What does that even mean?"
Zach gave him an exaggerated eye roll and got frustrated.  "It means that she can shape shift into anything or look like anyone.  For example, if she wants to look younger, she can make herself look like she's in her twenties, and if she wants to look like someone else to put them in danger or something, she can transform herself into someone else like Min."
"So..... she wasn't actually a dark spirit?," Issac asked again.
Zach pushed him down to the ground and pointed a gun at him to threaten him and said, " She's one of the most powerful kitsunes!  That's why she has those white and gold tails!"

The Hayoung, Weylie, Kina, and Arden continued fighting.  Kina said something in Japanese that made her stronger, and she also started glowing as if there was an orb surrounding her.  The orb was red and yellow and shaped like a nine tailed fox.  She jumped and used her sword to remove the mask from one of the onis which means that the oni was finally dead and gone.  "What?  How did you do that?,"  Hayoung asked, "What was that thing you just said?  And what did you just do?"
"I- I think I killed it,"  Kina said then smiled.
The three other onis disappeared with Dark Min.  "He didn't tell you guys?," Zach asked.
"What do you mean?," Kina asked.
"The Wild Dog seriously didn't tell you?," Zach said.  The four girls all nodded in sync. "The four of you are all fire kitsunes, which means that if you say 'kyubi no kitsune' you will be able to hear better, see better, and become stronger, and since the four of you all have nine tails it will be able to work on you, but it is possible to lose your tails if you don't use your powers responsibly.  Anymore stupid questions?"
"What does 'kyubi no kitsune' mean?," Weylie asked stupidly.
Zach rolled his eyes and said, "Nine tailed fox.  You should know this, you all learned Japanese to prepare you these situations!"
"Uh no we didn't," Arden said.
"Yeah you did," Zach replied.
"The only reason why you girls are really stupid is because I'm here.  Right Zach?," Dark Min said and smirked which made Zach get angry
"You're also a kitsune aren't you?  A trickster right," Zach said, "And that's not even your name and you don't even look like that.  Your just mimicking Min just to put the weakest in danger."
"Yes Zach, you finally used your pea sized brain.  My name is actually Kitsu and this is what I look like," the trickster said then morphed into a woman with nine white tails.

Min became quiet and scared of Zach.  Zach sighed and rolled his eyes.  "Okay guys," Zach said, "Since Min doesn't really know what to do or how to lead you people, I'll be your leader from now on.  Deal?," everyone nodded as if they were forced to respect their elders or else there would be a punishment, "Here's the plan-"  Suddenly,  Dark Min and this oni squad appeared and one of the onis used the samurai sword to cut a deep wound on one of the member's leg and another one on the neck on Colton.  "Colton!," Zach yelled then poured a mysterious substance from a small bottle.
"What the heck is that?," Gavin asked.
"It's something Randall and Andrea gave to him to heal some people," Dark Min replied, "It's not going to last very long, but you would have to finish the trials to go to the office and get medical help for your little weak friend."
The one that got cut on the leg, fell to the ground and started to shake. He stopped shaking and breathing. Issac ran to him and said, "Brad!  Brad! Can you get up?!"  He stopped yelling and realized that it was too late for any medication or anything else.  He looked at the onis and Dark Min and they started cursing in Japanese.  Then Issac used his samurai sword belt and he had a sword fight with one of the onis. 
"Issac stop!," Arden yelled.  The sword fight still continued.  Four of the onis surrounded Hayoung, Arden, Weylie, and Kina and held their sword as if they wanted to fight or even kill them.  Their eyes glowed and used their kitsune power to fight with their sword belts.

Once the onis saw that they all froze, they disappeared for no reason and sighed in relief.  "Can you please answer my questions now?," Min asked.
"Okay, fine.  I'm Zach and I'm, obviously, the guardian of you little juvenile delinquents.  I was the only person that Randall and Andrea trusted so they made me take care anyone in any trial that was in trouble or in danger, and obviously you people are in danger.  A lot of danger."
"Okay, but you said that there were other trials.  When were there other trials,"  Issac asked.
"There's actually something I need to tell you about the other trials but I can't because if I do it will kill Dark Min," said Zach.
"Why can't you tell us? Won't it save us and everyone here?," Colton asked.
"Not really.  You see, if I tell you, not only that it will kill him, but it will also kill me.  There are many things I'm not allowed to say because well, I'll pretty much disintegrate and die even if I'm a powerful guardian."
"So what if it kills you?  Even if it does, we won't really need you since he's gone," Min said in a rude manner.
Zach started to get furious from hearing Min say that they wouldn't need him.  He grabbed Min by the shirt, pulled him closer and yelled, "You really think that it's over if he dies like that?  IT'S NOT!  THE ONIS WILL BECOME STRONGER AND TRY TO KILL EVERYONE IN AND OUT OF THE UNKNOWN TRIALS!!!  Do you understand me?!  No one will save your butts from these onis!  Not even me because I'll be dead by then!," then threw Min to the ground.

Kina walked by and said, "Out of everyone else in the office R and A chose this doofus."
"What do you people need to get mad at me for now?" said Min.
Arden walked up to Min and said, "Min, it's okay.  Killing The spirit isn't going to change the rest of the world."
Finally, the guardian was able burn the rope with his kitsune fire and take the tape off of his mouth.  He then pushed Arden to the ground, took out a gun and shot Arden in the stomach.  She screamed in pain and said, "I thought you were helping us!"
"I am! and you'll heal in a few minutes.  It's what you get for lying to Min!," the guardian said.
"Okay, first of all who the heck are you and what is going on?!?!," Min panicked.
The guardian started handing out weapons to everyone in the trails; he handed out weapons to Hayoung, Kina, Weylie, Issac, Arden, and Colton, Gavin, Nicholas, but not to Min.  "Everyone follow me!," the guardian yelled.  The onis suddenly appeared, surrounding them.  They all froze in fear.

Chapter 5

"Min, wake up! WAKE UP!," Arden yelled.
Min woke up and saw Arden with Issac and Hayoung.  He smiled as if he thought that finding out that he wasn't a temporary thunder wolf was just a dream.  "What are you smiling about?  You didn't kill the spirit yet and you're still a thunder wolf remember?," Issac said.
"What?,"  Min replied then facepalmed, "Oh my God I thought that it was just a dream."
"Is he always this stupid?," Hayoung said then slapped him in the face.
Dark Min suddenly appeared with the guardian.  The guardian's hands were tied behind his back and his mouth was taped shut.  "I just found out that you have powers Min.  Now give them back!,"  Dark Min yelled angrily. 
"What?  I didn't take your powers.  You still have them," said Min.
"Only one of you can have some type of powers or whatnot.  The guardian took it away from you to HELP Min," Arden said.
"I know, and I need Min to give it back to me!," said Dark Min.
"How am I supposed to give them back to you?," Min said.

Everyone's mouth was gaping open. Min and Issac were both angry at Arden. "Arden! Look what you've done!  Our leader is now dying from the poisoned sword from the oni!," Weylie yelled.
For some reason Min fell to the ground for a second but then there was lightening surrounding him.
"What the?  What's happening?! What have you done?!," Dark Min yelled angrily.
The masked oni took off the mask and instead of it being an actual oni, it was a man dressed up as an oni.
"He's turning into a thunder wolf. It's not permanent, but he'll need it to kill the spirit inside you," the man said.
"You look familiar...... OH MY GOODNESS YOU'RE A THUNDER-," Hayoung was cut off by Issac when she saw him roll his eyes at her as if she was playing dumb.
"He's not a thunder you idiot. He's our guardian. That's how you're a kitsune. He turned YOU into a permanent one and he turned Min into a temporary thunder wolf," Issac said.

"Huh?  Who are you three?," Issac said.
"This is Kina, Weylie, and Hayoung.  We have to listen to your leader, Min," one of the girls said.
"What?  Since when was I the leader?," Min said.
Everyone looked at Min as if he was crazy. The three girls held their samurai swords towards Dark Min with with a death glare.  Their eyes turned to Arden then turned orange. Hayoung smirked to Arden then asked,"You don't recognize me don't you?  We're also fire kitsunes."
Kina then turned to Hayoung and said, "Her memories were taken away before the Wild Dog took her remember?"
When no one was looking one of the onis used there samurai swords and cut Min on the back of the leg. He fell to the ground and Dark Min said, "Hah, now chaos is gonna come. Sooner or later."
"We should of...... We should of killed you," Kina said.

"Shoot me!  Release that arrow right now!," Dark Min yelled as Min was still at full draw.
"No!  Please Min don't!  It's not going to make anything better!  You're going to make it worse for you and for everyone else!" Arden yelled
"Oh my God Arden!," Issac yelled,"Why can't he just kill him!  Can't his spirit thing die if WE kill him?"
"Yeah," Arden said softly,"But I think I know how to change him but without killing him. He was burned by the Wild Dog, but the Wild Dog only turned him into a spirit so if the spirit is gone then he'll turn into his normal self again."
Everyone around her paused for a moment and Min and Issac had confused looks on their faces.  "I did not get a single word you just said," Issac said in a sassy tone,"How can someone so beautiful and helpful can be so.....defensive to an evil spirit?"
Arden had an annoyed look on her face. She had flames and smoke surrounding her. She noticed the flames and immediately stopped the flames and smoke from surrounding her before she would hurt someone. Then, three more girls crawled and started limping to Min.
"So, what do you guys want us to do?," the three girls said.

Chapter 4

"Min!  Where are you?!," Arden yelled.  It was sun rise and she was lying on the ground, in pain, surrounded by the masked members.  The masked members held samurai swords as if they were about to stab Arden in the chest.  Dark-Min appeared like a ghost and smirked.
"I heard you calling my name," Dark-Min said as he smiled, " How are you still alive?  I thought you were dead?!  You're not supposed to be here Sumi, I thought the Wild Dog burned you."
"Randall and Andrea made me a 'fire' kitsune so they told the Wild Dog to put me into Door 4.  How are you an 'oni' now?  You were dead the last time I saw you."
" I'm only a spirit.  I'm supposed to be killed by these members to be gone for good," Dark-Min started tearing up, and Arden started to feel bad.  "Why didn't you just stay with me Arden?  We were so happy together; none of this wouldn't happen if we were still together."
"Min," Arden spoke softly," I had to leave you; I couldn't let you kill anyone so I had to leave you in a soundproof room until they needed you for another test."
It was silent until Dark-Min said, "Kill me, kill me Arden Sumi, make those members proud."
"I'm not going to kill you.  I know it'll make you-"
Arden got cut off until Issac and Min came; they looked like they just woke up until Issac started admiring her beauty and Min noticed that Dark-Min was there and his masked members held their swords.  "Arden!  Can't you see that he's here?  Do something or else I will!," Min yelled.  Min pulled out an arrow out of his quiver, loaded an arrow, and was immediately at full draw, ready to release.
Arden's eyes widened and yelled, "NO!  DON'T!"

"Where's Min Park?!," the dark version yelled, "Min needs to be destroyed so that I WIN!"
"Win?  What do you mean by 'win'?," original Min whispered to himself.
"I'm pretty sure he means by your 'pack' or group against which is pretty much everyone in the trails against him and the dark spirit," Issac said.
"It's not only me and my dark spirit, it's me, the subcutaneous infected crows, and MY group!," dark Min yelled.
Suddenly, twelve subcutaneous infected crows appeared as well as the ten people who were covered in black, Japanese-kitsune-fox masks.  Min's stomach churned from nervousness and his eyes widened.  He also remembered what happed to the poor victims that got pecked by the crows and noticed that the masked members held samurai sword in their hands- the same ones that Issac has.
Dark Min, the crows, and the masked members vanished into the air like dust.  Original Min's members spit up into groups of four-Min was with Issac, Ray, and Colton.  Min held a wooden shaft, Issac wore his samurai sword belt and his quiver while holding a recurve bow, and Colton had a samurai sword as well.  A girl walked out of Door 4, limping, and collapsed to the ground.  She had beautiful dark hair, patches of burnt looking skin and the same samurai sword belt as Issac.  "My-my name is Arden S-Sumi," the girl said," They sent me here to help you."

"What do you think happened to Ray yesterday Issac?," Min and Gavin asked.
"Did you not hear? He either got pecked from an infected crow or some mudda butthole spread the disease.  What's wrong with-"
An older looking chiseled face boy cut Issac off and said," Ray's calm now."
" Okay.  Colton, did they say what happened?," Issac asked.
"No, but they need you and Min to go there like now," Colton replied.
Min and Issac rushed to the Blood and Tech room and saw Ray strapped on the bed.
Colton also ran to the room with a worried look.  He was panting from running and had holes on his shirt.  He looked like he was running away from a demon in Door four. Then Colton said then showed something that changed everything in the trials:
"Issac!  Hurry we need your help! Look what happened!"
Min looked out the door and saw a dark and bloody version of himself. He pointed at the dark version and said, "Is it about that?" to Colton.
"Yeah!," Colton yelled," He walked out of Door four with a note." 
He showed Min and Issac the note and it made Isaac furious.:

 

It's another version of Min Park.  He's possessed by an 'oni' and you need to kill the 'oni spirit' to complete the trials.  Someone will come to help you kill the spirit.  Be nice to her. 

 

"Her? Who's her?," Min whispered to himself," And why is it another version of me?"

Chapter 3

Issac, a dark skinned boy, and a tall muscled boy saw Min with a British boy, Nicholas; they were holding wooden recurve bows and wore quivers with a dozen arrows, while Issac held an extra bow and quiver with arrows and walked up to Min and said, "You're one of us now.  Dom, Gavin, and I are going to teach you how to shoot one of those subcutaneous crows to defend yourself."
"What?!  Who is Dom?  Who's Gavin?  And why are you making me do this?  Just leave me alone for once and I'll calm down," Min whined and complained," Stop making me do things I can't or don't want to do Issac!"
"Bro, I didn't even want to teach you.  ray is making me do this, I ain't the leader here, he is," Issac replied.
"Fine, let's go and get this over with," Min said and rolled his eyes.
Issac and Dom, the dark skinned boy, grabbed Min and dragged him across the field to the archery range.  Ray suddenly ran up to Min and punched him in the stomach, making him get pushed back three feet.
"Hey, what did I do now?," Min asked.
"You!  I need you dead!  We all need you dead!  If we don't kill you soon, we're al going to die!  Issac!  Dom!  C'mon shoot him already!  Issac slice his head off with your katana already! What are you idiots doin'? Just kill him!," Ray yelled.
Both Winston and Jo wore lab coats, and chased Ray with two syringes.
"Hurry up!  He's also infected like Dave!  We finally found the cure!," Jo yelled.
Dom and Gavin pushed Ray to the ground and held him down so that Winston could inject the 'medicine.'
Once the 'medicine' was injected, Ray stopped panting and could finally calm down.  A few seconds later he passed out and was dragged to the Blood and Tech room.  As he was being dragged, Nicholas spit at Ray and said, " Ha, that's what you get for calling yourself the leader," to Ray.

"Please don't send me in there," Dave pleaded, " I can't stay there, I can't die in there."
Dave was sobbing and begging on his knees.  He kept yelling and calling for help, thinking that someone would help him.
"Let's go, we'll put him in there now," Issac said to Min.
"Wait.  What?  Why me?  I just came yesterday.  I don't know anything about this place,"  Min replied to Issac,"choose someone else, I can't do it."
"You're learning, so now LEARN how to kill someone who needs to be killed."
Issac and Min grabbed Dave by the clothes, strapped him on a large piece of wood, and dragged him in front of Door 4.
"No, please don't.  There are demons in there that will eat me alive," Dave begged. "I can't -"
"Dave shut up!," Ray yelled," We can't have people like you in here!  You're out of control!"
"Min, Issac, let's put him in on a count of three," A British kid said, "One, two, NOW!"
Jo opened the door and Min and Issac threw him onto Door 4.  Min's eyes widened and was scarred for life.  He heard him scream and yell and get eaten alive and burned from the demons from hell.
