Caleb and Tzuna were training in the forest when the Baboon representing Fire swung towards him. "Follow," the Baboon stated before swinging off in another direction. Caleb and Tzuna followed and came out on a sandy beach. About 500 yards from the shore was an island with ruins scattered over it. "Snow, sleet, hail, and rain. As we speak your friends are in pain. To save them you must overcome your fear, Beware for a storm draws near." As Baboon finished speaking, he swung back into the trees to watch. The winds picked up and a hurricane formed not far from the island heading towards it.

"Tzuna, lets go." "I'm sorry Caleb, this is one thing I can't help you with." she said backing away with her tail between her legs and sadness in her eyes. Caleb looked on at the wind stubborn look and jumped into the frigid water. "I must save them, if I don't come back Tzuna, I'm sorry." he said.

The storm blew over Caleb as he jumped in the water. The rain pelted him with ferocity, blinding his eyes and the wind picked up as well, making it hard for Caleb to keep his course. Choosing his path to leave Tzuna behind, their connection was severed for the rest of his trial.

"Tzuna, can you hear me?" he asked to no avail. He kept swimming hard, but the wind blew him back five feet for every two feet he swam. "What am I supposed to do here?" he kept asking himself. He let himself be carried back to the shore and he started searching for vines and coconuts.

The Baboon looked on. He smiled as Caleb seemd to give up but then became intrigued as Caleb set about gathering vines and coconuts. "Beware how long you wait, or your friends shall meet an unfortunate fate."

"Beware how long you wait, yada yada yada" Caleb thought. He used his razor sharp nails to drill holes in the coconuts and tied the vines through and knotted them together. "There, now that I have my raft, it'll be easier." he said. He plunged back into the water with a renewd vigor and swam hard to rescue his friends.

As Caleb swam, the coconuts filled with water, slowing Claeb down. About 20 yard from the island shore, Caleb's "raft" sank to the ocean floor. Now Caleb was but a short distance away but without his raft.

The raft had did it's job, and he quickly swam to the other side of the island. He climed up on shore and collapesed from exhaustion

"Don't stop now. You still have much to do. Do you value your friends life, or do you value you?" The monkey rhymed in Caleb's head. There was a small boat not far from where Caleb fell. The Island had been flooded, a few buildings sticking above the water. A small fire could be seen on top of a tall building in the center of the island. The fire burned on despite the pouring rain and torrent of winds. Lightning struck close to where Caleb lay, forcing him to take action.

"Whoa!" Caleb exclaimed. He saw the boat and jumped into it. "I'm going I'm going you crazy monkey." he said.

Fire smirked at Caleb's comment, "Crazy monkey?" he said to himself, "If you call me crazy, Crazy I'll BE!" With that the fire in the middle of the island grew bigger, starting to actually burn the building below. Faint cries of help could be heard across the water. The rain began to pour faster, blinding Caleb. Only a small flicker from the roaring flames could be sen through the downpour.

"d**n it" he said. Caleb couldn't see anything, so he relied on his hearing and smell to find his friends. He tripped several times on roots and stumps, but never gave in. He ran over to the burning building and without hesitation jumped into the flames to save his friends. "Where are you all at?" he called. He felt Mica first, so that's where he went. One my one everyone slowly came into view. Once everyone was out the roof collapsed on where he was standing just moments before. "That was close. Ok, I have everyone out Fire, what next?" he called.

Lightning struck close to where the group was standing. Caleb's friends appeared as mostly, lifeless zombies. "Now, you must save them from this island. If you don't It will get fun!" Fire howled in his mind.

Caleb jumped and knocked all his friends to the ground to save them from the lightining. He grabbed a vine from the nearby trees and strung it around their waists. "Come on everyone" he called

Fire chuckled and spoke in Caleb's mind, "You have failed this trial boy, but you worked to overcome your fear and save others before you saved yourself. I call this trial a tie." Once the baboon finished speaking a tornado came out of nowhere. When Caleb was able to see again, he was back in the forest in front of Tzuna.
