Lirin: Here we are again on a Thursday. Thanks Beywriter for reviewing once again :)
Kisa: Beyblade and the characters are not Lirin's so please don't cause her trouble. She also does not profit from writing
Lirin: Well that's that. Enjoy the new installment.
Chapter 6: Testing
Voltaire had taken me to a lab after we had left. I was surprised to see only the scientists there. I really thought he was taking me to train with those people he mentioned before. Though I still don't know who they might be. But I guess that doesn't matter right now.
When we entered the lab he left me standing by the door as he spoke Russian to a man in a white lab coat. Even though I didn't understand them I could tell the scientist was eager for something. I was fearing what that might be.
Every now and then I noticed his pale green eyes darting towards me. It made me feel uncomfortable and I began to bite my lip and hold my left arm.
After what took forever, Voltaire finally came back to me.
"You are to do as they say. We need to get a better feel of your energy and from there we can place you in a proper training group."
"Yes sir," I say still feeling uncomfortable. Even though I wasn't looking at the scientist I could feel his eyes on me and I felt like a piece of meat to him.
"Good girl. Mona will be here shortly. She will be your doctor and trainer from now on. Anything she says you do."
"Yes sir."
Voltaire 'hm' and left the room.
I stood there listening to the hushed Russian conversation. I hated not knowing what people were saying about me...at least I was figuring it was about me since they had a habit of looking my way.
XxXxXx
I had gotten bored standing and took a seat on a lab table. The scientists all looked at me but said nothing about it. So I figured it was okay.
I was starting to nod off when the door opened and a young woman walked in.
She was a true beauty with her pale skin and rose red lips. Her dark forest green hair was half tied up in a pony tail and the rest flowed down to her mid back like a dark waterfall. And her eyes shined like true emeralds. Her slender body was covered by a short lab coat and her long legs were shown off thanks to her short mini skirt.
"Are you Kisa?" her accent was thick, but I can still make out what she's saying.
I nod my head.
"Good." She turns and goes to get something when she returns she's holding a hospital gown. "Change into this."
"Where should I change?"
She looked at me like I had three heads. "Don't be silly girl. Just do it here."
I looked around uncertainly. The room was filled with scientists...male scientists. Something I was not comfortable with.
"Well hurry up. We don't have all day."
"But ma'am..."
"Do not protest. Cloths off now girl."
"Yes ma'am..." I look away and grab the gown. I can at least try to cover myself as much as possible.
XxXxXx
The tests started with a physical exam. And Dr. Mona did not go as gently as most other doctors. I guess her beauty is the only good feature she has to her. I wont be surprised if I have bruises after this.
Whatever. I had passed her exam and she started on the endurance test.
Similarly to what happened to the entrance exam, they had hooked me up to machines to monitor my stats. Then they told me to run on the treadmill.
Thankfully it started slow and every five minutes they increased it a bit...now allow me to say that running is not one of my better skills.
Somehow I managed to last an hour before my feet faulted and I fell. The treadmill spit me off it like I was a bad piece of gum someone wanted to stop chewing.
Dr. Mona shook her head and noted it down on her chart. Something was telling me this was going to be bad...very bad.
After the run and fall they gave me a five minute rest and some water. I think it's time I'll learn to be thankful for plain water and not be as picky about it.
I was thankful for the rest. It gave my legs a chance to recover from their jelly like state.
Once my rest time was over they set me up in a maze...can I say I feel like a rat in here? Do I get a piece of cheese when I reach the exit? Part of me hopes I do, lunch should be soon and I'm getting hungry.
Feeling hungrier then before I began to walk the maze looking for the way out.
I don't know why they're having me do this. But I feel as though its going to be the easiest of all the tests...which wont be good.
XxXxXx
It took me less then fifteen minutes to work my way out of the maze the first time. After that they had me run it two more times. Each time took me much less time then the previous.
Dr. Mona nodded approvingly and wrote more on her charts.
When I was done they allowed me another five minute break and water. I wanted food...I could smell something hot near, but they denied me saying it would interfere with the testing.
I grumbled and bitched under my breath. Sadly Dr. Mona noticed and frowned as she wrote more down. This was only going to end badly.
When this break was over they gave me my blade...I didn't even know they had it...and a regular launcher.
"We're going to do some mock battling now. Our computer can create power similar to bit beasts' powers so do not relax. You must give it everything you have unless you want to get hurt."
Oh what fun. A battle for survival.
XxXxXx
The battles had been just as draining as I had been warned. The computer did indeed replicate bit beast power. And because of my earlier battle and the training it felt doubly hard.
The first was a light battle. It was just to gauge my control in a normal fight. And even though I was feeling the effects of before, I managed to win in under four minutes. A personal best for me by the way.
The second one the computer had a fire type blade. It's power was severely less then a bit beast's power level. But I still found it a little tricky. I had summoned Tsubasa's water power to put out the fire.
The attack took a little energy from me that I couldn't really afford to spend. But I had to if I wanted to survive the fight.
When it was over I ended up falling to my knees and panting. I felt warm and things were starting to get a bit blurry. Sleep sounded really good right now.
"Back on your feet. You still have more battles to do," Mona snapped.
Kami I wanted to flip her off and tell her what to do with her damn battles. This was the most I had ever used Tsubasa's power simply because I knew I was not ready for this amount of energy drain. Any more and I would be passing out cold.
"Get up," she demanded and I heard her tapping her foot. I guess she's not the patient type.
Unsteadily I get back on my feet and sway as a rush of dizziness over comes me. I knew that Mona, or the others don't care about this and I try to steady myself. When I feel stable I raise my launcher up and prepare for the third round.
'Tsubasa help me,' I think to myself and I feel a cool blast and wings surround me. 'Thank you.'
'Anytime my child.'
Mona starts the third battle and it gets intense fast.
Only a few seconds into the match and the computer is unleashing an earthquake attack that affects the whole room. I end up falling on my butt and groan in pain. My blade doesn't take it much better and is wobbling severely, yet it somehow manages to survive and goes on.
The attack also shook my confidence and focus. And with those off the battle got all the tougher.
I tried to get back to my feet and back into the battle, but each time I was up the ground shook again and I fell right back down. I just know I'm going to be bruised and sitting next week will be a total pain.
Anyway I tried three times to get back up and each time was a fail more embarrassing then the last. After the third I decided to stay on the ground and go from there. I didn't need to be standing to unlock Tsubasa's power.
"Tsubasa enough of this. Mix wind and rain. Create a storm to toss it out!"
The attack was a risk with my blade unbalanced, but it was all I could think of to try and pull a victory from this beating.
As I had asked a storm of water and wind formed. The dish we were using slowly began to flood and the sides were getting too slick to keep a blade stable. Tsubasa's wobbling got worse. But the computer's blade was not fairing much better.
The dizziness was returning to me and it got harder to watch the battle. One of the last things I remember was Tsu's wind picking up the computer's blade and tossing it around like a leaf for a bit and then spitting it out on the wet ground.
"Nice..."
I stopped when I felt my body giving out completely and my eyes were rolling towards the back of my head. I could tell I was slumping forward but didn't have the strength to stop myself.
Mona watched as I fell unconscious on the wet floor. If I was anywhere near a conscious state I could have probably heard her scribbling stuff down on her notes.
Lirin: So anyone hate Mona already? I do. How about dropping a review telling what you think about her or just the story so far. I'd really appreciate to hear some more feedback. Thanks everyone.
