Chapter Eight: Battles Training Brings Back Memories
A couple of weeks had passed and Chiro had convinced me to do some training wit them. As I watched the others go through their runs I remembered them doing it in the past. Except when Wish stepped up I remembered from when I was a kid and I was first trained.
Flash back
"Jennifer, you're up." Her father said.
Jirachi gently pushed Jennifer onto the training floor. Jennifer turned to face her father."B-b-but Daddy!" She stammered. "I-I can't! I don't know how to fight!"
"This is how you learn. The monkeys went through the same thing. Don't worry nothing is going to happen I'll coach you through it. If you're nervous about your back, don't be. It's all healed up now. Trust me." Her father replied.
"Go on Jennifer." Jennifer turned to look at Mandarin. He was now, as he had said, like the other monkeys. Luckily the sapphire went un-needed. For now. "Come on Jennifer. I know you can do it." Mandarin called.
"Yeah!" Jirachi agreed.
"Um, okay..." she said nervously.
"Thank you Mandarin and Jirachi." the Alchemist said. Mandarin and Jirachi nodded.
The Alchemist put the training on level one. At first Jennifer needed constant pointers. After a while she needed only her instincts and knowledge.
"Excellent! You're a natural Jennifer!" Her father cried. "That should be enough for today." That was the signal that the session was over. Jennifer smiled at her father's praise as she stood there panting, sweat running down her face.
End Flashback
I blinked and saw Wish was just finishing. She came over to us, panting. "You're up Jen." She said breathlessly.
I nodded and stepped confidently into the middle of the room. Now that I remembered my training from who-knows-when I felt prepared. Chiro set the training for level one. I remembered a song that was sung to me long ago. But from who?
Don't ask of me to tell you where I'm from
Don't bury me in this wound
A saw sliced at me and I ducked.
Don't burry me in the lost yesterdays
don't stop me any further
When two missiles came at me from two different directions, I jumped. I landed upon the higher missile and pushed off.
Even now in my heart
Sleeps my dream
That like a storm
Is still raging but
I turn my back
And within a blink
Like a teardrop
It breaks into pieces
The two missiles collided causing an explosion. I landed upon one of the pillars unharmed.
From that day onward I made a choice to fight day by day
I wish I was the wind, I wish I was the wind
I remained there a minute, crouching. A movement to my right caught my eye.
Don't blame me even if I'm not kind
Don't cry this heart of mine
One of the claws from the walls was coming at me. I jumped from the pillar and landed gracefully on my feet.
Gracefully blooming,
A free-loving flower whose day of a kiss is still far away
Everyone has a dream in a world they see and using this I promise to protect...
From that day onward
I dodged many swipes from the training room's claws, saws, spiked balls, etc.
It's a long and distant road as a fighter
I wish I was the wind, I wish I was the wind.
I was startled when the weapon's returned to their respective doors on the walls. I turned to look at the others. They wore the look of shock on their faces.
"How'd you do that?" Otto asked. His eyes as large as dinner plates.
"When I saw you guys train it brought back memories from when I first saw you train and I, myself first trained." I explained.
"Oh." Otto said. Before anything else was said the alarm went off.
A/N: the the song is called "Kaze Ni Naritai" or "I Want To Be the Wind". It was written by Megumi Ogata. These are the English lyrics. I got the song from Shining Silver Phoenix.
