The horn sounded indicating the start of the 12 Hour Relay, chaos began as the kids began running. Totara was in the lead with Rimu following closely in behind, 3rd place was Kauri. Everyone was cheering them on there teams hoping that they would win. All of the sudden there was a bang, then another and another the bangs kept getting louder and louder startled faces wildly looked around trying to find the horrible racket, as the bang got louder the ground began to shake harder and harder so hard that Tawa's tent fell over toppling over there table of food, sweets and water. Many kids fell over in the horror. The banging was so loud now people were covering there ears, Mr. Diver felt the ground begin rumbling underneath him he stood out of his chair but it was to late a large crack had forced it's way into the ground around him, he began to run forward trying to escape terror unveiling around him, he jumped trying to leap over the 1 meter wide crack but just jumped to short he began plummeting throw the crack there was a large "THUD" then a groan, a few teachers rushed over to help him hurtling a rope down for Mr Diver to climb up.
