Neo & Blake Are Stuck

Quickly you arrive to see Blake and Neo have both stopped and seem mostly fine, though with a few cuts on their clothes and a burn mark on Blake's right shoe, you turn to them both and ask, "What's the problem?"

Blake turns to you and says, "There seems to be some kind of puzzle that will set off a trap if you get it wrong." As Neo continues to examine the platform in front of her.

"I guess that is where you got the burn mark?" You say as you point toward the aftermentioned shoe. Blake blushed and nodded.

"I may have gotten it wrong."

Neo silently giggles behind Blake before returning to her examination. I ask Blake, "So what's the puzzle?"

"That's the problem, it doesn't give you one. It is almost like you are supposed to find out through trial and error." Blake sighed.

Neo finally joined the conversation when she held up her scroll that read 'Or just avoid the traps.' Blake hissed at her like a feline would.

Looking closer at the platform you see dozens of feet of squares depicting animals such as a cat, dog, lion, and every animal you could think of. The cat tile seems to be pushed in and hinged, likely indicating this was the one Blake stepped on.

"What do you think Neo?" I asked the silent girl.

Neo blew a raspberry at Blake before showing another message, 'If cat is wrong, then what is about cats that are wrong?'

"How are one supposed to know if we don't try another one?" Blake asked. Neo just smirked at her and Blake seemed to realize.

"We must try another one then. How about..." I said as I slowly stood on a tile depicting a lion. Which seemed to work as no traps went off. "Yes!"

"So what's the difference?" Blake asked.

Neo herself stepped on another tile this time a Great White Shark. She then turned a new message to Blake, 'It's hunters Blake.'

"What? But, cats aren't prey! They also hunt!" Blake said as she stepped on a tiger.

Neo showed a new message, 'House cats? Please! They survive off their owners and not on their own.'

Blake seemed ready to rebuke her before I said, "She's right Blake. Home cats are trained to live off their owners and they don't often hunt their own food. Now another preadtor..." We continue on until we hit the other side and one last obstacle lay before us.

"This looks way bigger up close... Looks like around 60 ft. high." Blake said in awe.

Neo jumped quickly a ten feet up the air and grabbed a rock and stuck her tongue at both of us as if to challenge us before climbing further up. Not ones to fall behind we both did the same and quickly with few mistakes climbed to the top.

At the top stood three teachers. First a tall green head spiky haired man with rounded glasses.

Next is a short fat man with grey hair that hides his eyes and a full mustache.

Finally, a tall height for woman at 5'10 with tanned skin and orange hair in a bun she is also wearing goggles and a lab coat and long gloves and boots.

They each are holding a piece of paper for us to grab...

Neo is the first to get his quickly snatching it from the short fat guy without even a acknowledgemnt of his existence. Blake is next grabbing it fron the scientist looking woman leaving a small "Thank you!" behind. Finally, I myself get mine from the green haired one saying "Thank you!" as I leave as well.

Neo jumped off the wall using her umbrella as a parachute as she gently glided to the bottom. Blake quickly followed by running down the rock climbing wall with ease. I jumped as well before cushioning my fall with a gravity dust to the ground and landed gracefully as I can.

In which I meant I skid across the floor and nearly into Neo...

"Sorry abou-" I attempt to apologize before she puts a finger over my mouth as she looks ahead. Looking ahead I saw a horde of Grimm has gotten past the traps, the traps seemingly have turnt off.

"Wow! That's a lot of them." Blake said as we all prepared for battle.
