The Trials of Sampsonite!

A dark purple caped man with hard, cold eyes scoffs at you. "Apparentlty you know, by some miracle, less then we do about our circumstances. All we've been told, is that we have to "work as a team(Pathetic if you ask me!)to pass a series of trials and win some cash...Big deal". He irritatedly explains.
You deside you don't much care for this mysterious man. The "jellophant" then steps forth and further explains the situation. "None of us remember our pasts. All we remember is how to write, speak, use weaponry...You get the idea. It is like we have been brainwashed and "someone" has chosen what we forget and what we remember..."
But before he can finish his trail of thought, the other human of the team starts screaming for help! You swiftly turn your gaze toward him. He is being sucked into the metal floor of the chamber by tiny, bright green hands!
