Oliver has taken on the responsibility of the Kyoryuger, and his new friends have offered to train him before he is ready to fight. But will he tell the others about the dream he has not told them about?

Note: Unfortunately, life for me is gearing back up again, and it's going to be a lot harder to update. But because I enjoy seeing people reading and having fun with my story, I'm going to try my best and update as best as I can.

Chapter 8: Training

Oliver woke up the next morning ready to begin his training. He spent the previous night getting prepped and ready for the next morning. He knew this would be something he could not turn his back on. He had already accepted taking on this duty, but it would not come easy. Not only was there training, but he also had to focus on school. But there was more on his mind than just his upcoming training and school, but it was his dream. He knew that someday he would have to tell them, yet he did not know how they would react.

An hour later, Oliver had run to a field outside of town, and met up with the others to begin.

"Why did we have to come all the way out here?" Oliver asked, catching his breath. He had not run such a long distance in quite a while.

"We are out here because we cannot expose our identities out in public. Only a few know we are Kyoryugers" said Ian. "The only other people who know our identities are the Deboss."

"Isn't that a larger risk if the enemy knew who we were?" asked Oliver.

Everyone stopped and looked at each other with concern. Oliver knew he must have crossed into a territory he was not supposed to cross. Their friends and loved ones were some of the most important people they swore to protect, even to the point where they wouldn't know what to do if they lost a loved one.

"I'm sorry. I just thought it was a risk. I know now that those we love and innocent people are the ones who we fight for" said Oliver, who right now was feeling a little mad at what he had said.

"Alright, let's begin!" shouted Daigo.

It was not long before everyone was helping Oliver. Torin informed Oliver that his weapon as a Kyoryuger would be based on the two weapons he had would be a sword similar to the Deathryuger's Flute Blaster and a large hatchet which could combine into one weapon. The odd design was based on the boomerang on Tobaspino's back, and the hatchet was on the spine sail as well. They also asked Yayoi if she and her grandfather could design a special Gaburevolver for Oliver to use.

Ian helped train Oliver in marksmanship with the revolver. Oliver was not much of a shot when it came to aiming the gun. Most of the time he missed his target. Souji, Utchy and Torin helped him train in with swords, and to help him get adjusted to his own weapon when the time would come to Amor Up. He was a lot better with the swords and his weapon than compared to the gun. Nossan put him through a rigorous training to help Oliver build up his strength and endurance to keep up in battle and not tire out. Amy trained him in close combat, and along with Ian, in the functions of the Zyudenchi. Daigo was the one who trained Oliver about the Carnival, and how to use his own form of dancing and energy to bring him to his full potential.

The training was rough, to the point where Oliver didn't want to move at some points. He would have just given up then and there, but he couldn't give up now. He had to do this, for the world and the innocent. The training continued for weeks. When Oliver got out of classes for the day, he was training with the others, and managing to get his homework done at the same time. At first the training was hard, but it started to get easier as time went on, and he started improving more and more. He was hitting targets perfectly, he was almost impossible to stop with the weapons, he knew each Zyudenchi off the top of his head, and was even able to incorporate his own form of "Carnival" which he called the "Viennese Ball" which was based on the waltz and other styles of dance from when he was in theatre. He felt a little awkward doing it, but Daigo was impressed with what Oliver could do.

He even enjoyed his training at times. He was spending time with his new friends, improving himself, and even pushing himself to the limits he never thought he could reach.

However, he started to notice Amy a lot more often than he had. At first he told himself to not get involved with romance among friends and teammates, but there was something about Amy that he couldn't quite figure out. He and Amy spent a lot of time together in training and at school. They always had something to talk about, whether it be training, school, or about their homes in the U.S. He thought she was beautiful, strong and independent. She was different from the girls back at home, and he liked her for who she was.

One day when they were not training, Oliver and Amy took a walk together, had lunch, and even had fun in the park for a while. It was getting close to dinner when Oliver walked Amy back to her house.

"That sure was a fun day" said Oliver.

"It was, I've never had this much fun" Amy said. "You really know how to have a good time Oliver."

"Thank you. It's strange, not many people have called me fun before." said Oliver

"Then they are just too afraid to say it." said Amy, who was trying to hold back from giggling.

"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?" said Oliver.

"See you tomorrow." said Amy.

As Oliver turned around, he felt this urging feeling in his chest. He knew what it meant, and as he tried to hold it, he just couldn't and had to do it.

"Amy?" Oliver called out just as Amy was about to go inside.

"Yes Oliver?" asked Amy

"Would you like to go and hang out with me tomorrow night? Just the two of us?" Oliver asked bashfully knowing he had made a mistake.

"You mean like a date?" asked Amy

"Well not really like a…. sort of like a…. I mean…." said a nervous Oliver who was having trouble getting it out, while Amy was giggling.

"Ok, yes, I mean like a date!" said Oliver who was flustered with himself.

"Yes, I would like to hang out with you tomorrow." Amy said proudly.

"Really? I mean great. I'll call you later then and see what works for the both of us?" said Oliver.

"Great! See you tomorrow Oliver!" said Amy.

"See you tomorrow Amy!" said Oliver while he watched her close the door.

He walked away and started jumping in excitement on his way home. He had a date tomorrow!
