Welcome back for another exciting chapter. Would like to thank everyone for reviewing.
After arriving in South Carolina and checking into their hotel Dave informs them that they will be doing two concerts this time. The first is tomorrow evening on Fort Jackson for all of the troops there. The second will be at Panther stadium, home of the South Carolina Panthers. With this news everyone is excited and also wondering about their training that will take place at Fort Jackson in the morning.
The next morning finds all six of our furry friends awoken at four in the morning by a drill sergeant. The munks are then transported to Fort Jackson on an Army Hummer. On the way their they are instructed that they will be running Victory Tower and doing other strenuous activities including practice in hand to hand combat. They will be given different clothes to wear so that they don't ruin their civilian clothes. As soon as they get their Brittany is not happy to see that there new clothes are army fatigues and that there is not a speck of pink anywhere on the clothes. The six of them are then instructed to change and fall in at the back of the squad for a five mile run and anyone that doesn't finish will be doing push-ups till lunch. At the mention of this all six of them hurriedly get changed and fall in behind the assigned squad. Once everyone was in formation the squad started to run. At about the halfway point Theodore and Eleanor are starting to fall behind and are then told by another drill sergeant informs them that they will not get any lunch if they don't finish the run and will watch everyone else enjoy their lunch. After the run the munks are taken over to the Victory Tower and informed that they will run this till everyone succeeds together.
When the six of them got to the start of Victory Tower all they could say was mommy as they were all a little scared at what they had to do. When they are given the command to start they all jump as they climb up the rock wall, but half way up Alvin loses his grip and falls back down making them start all over again. Back at the bottom everyone takes there place to start again. This time all six of them make it up the rock wall and are getting ready to start crossing a twenty foot gap with ropes that they will have to swing on and transfer to other ropes to get across. As they start Simon gets on a rope and instructs them when to time the jumps from rope too rope. As they approach the other end Eleanor misses the timing for the jump and every one must start over. At the bottom again the drill sergeant informs them that although they are working as a team that they must also rely on each other's strengths to advance as one and decides to tie them to each other in a line with some rope so that they won't be able to separate too far from each other from now on. With this new knowledge and the new obstacle put in place the six of them again attempt to scale Victory tower. When they start they manage to get all the way up the rock wall by following Alvin's path. At the top they are once again going to attempt to get across the gap. Once they start all of them suddenly realize that there isn't enough rope to let them jump one at a time but instead will have to jump two at a time. The first two to jump will be Eleanor and Theodore. This time the two of them make it from the first rope to the second with no problems. Once across everyone else joins them on the second rope. Jeanette then sees that they can jump three at a time and keep momentum going so that they can continuously jump from rope too rope. This time they make it across with no problems and sees that there next obstacle is a room that is pitch black with walls that confuse them. There is a sign that states that once you enter you will have three minutes to make it to the exit and get out or the floor will open up and you will fall and have to restart. Everyone puts their heads together to figure out how to attack this obstacle and Alvin suggests that they have Theo and Ellie lead as their noses could possibly lead them to the other side. As soon as they entered the room they realize that all they can do is hear, feel, and smell for any sense of direction. As soon as the door shut Theo starts to run and everyone is forced to follow him. He is not able to see where he is going but after about two minutes they are standing back in the sun and congratulating Theo for leading them threw on the first attempt. After this they see that they must cross a rope bridge to go even higher up and Jeanette is getting scared the farther along the tower they go. Simon comforts Jeanette and telling her that the longer they stay still the longer till they will be on the tower and at these heights. She then sets herself so that they may cross the rope bridge and proceed to the next obstacle. As everyone climbs down from the bridge they are met with another wall, but this time it has no hand holds on the side that they are on. Alvin sees this and then has the other five hold the rope as he leans out and sees that the opposite side is wood and that his claws will hold in it. He informs the others of his discovery and the six of them use his idea to get up to the next level of the tower. With only a few obstacles to go all six of them are getting tired from this tower and are starting to wonder how they will even finish it. The next obstacle was a log that they had to run across and all six of them really wondered how that was a challenge when they turn around and see another soldier start to run and the log rolls and throws him off and onto the cargo net below. With only two obstacles left the six of them are running on adrenaline now. The second to last obstacle was another rock wall, but unlike the first this time they had to repel down and land on a platform twenty feet below them, if they missed the platform they would have to start all over again. Simon has Alvin go first in the group so that if he by chance misses the platform then hopefully Brittany or he can grab it. Once they start Alvin misjudges how fast they are dropping and luckily catches himself before he would have passed the platform. Adjusting his hands so that he repels a little slower he is able to land on the platform for the last obstacle. The last obstacle is jumping from a ten foot high platform and landing in a pool below. As soon as the six of them see that Jeanette and Theodore get scared and start shaking. Simon notices this and reminds Jeanette that she has the powers of ice and that she can't drown. He also tells Theo that after this they will have a nice long break before their concert. After hearing this all six of them jump off and land in the pool and are helped out by a drill sergeant. After landing the drill sergeant takes them to a private room so that they can rest and get ready for their concert later that evening.
At the concert Alvin thanks all of the troops on behalf of the Chipmunks and Chippettes for their service and for letting them train with them for a day. During the concert Dave is being shown pictures from the day with the munks and ettes from one of the drill sergeants. Dave couldn't believe that the six of them were able to do all of that and then still perform that evening. He is very proud of them for what they have done on this day.
After the concert all six of them are lounging around with a few of the soldiers that wanted to help with the cleanup from the concert. Currently they are just sitting and having a good time and enjoying the company of the soldiers who day in and day out protect the U.S.A. from attacks.
That evening Dave informs the six of them that they will be allowed to sleep in the next day. As soon as Dave mentioned the word sleep he heard the sound of six distinct snores coming from the three beds that were currently occupied by the munks and their counterparts. The next morning none of the munks or ettes woke up till almost eleven in the morning. Once every one was awake Dave showed them the pictures from their day with the soldiers. The six of them couldn't believe that they had done all of that and still performed the way they did at the concert.
That evening in the stadium all six of them are getting ready for another concert. This time though they will use the ice sculptures to introduce everyone instead of how it went in Miami. With the sculptures set and every one in their place the announcer comes on and welcomes Theodore, Eleanor, Brittany, Jeanette, Simon, and Alvin as each name was said that munks sculpture was shattered by a fireball and the munk was launched from a platform from under the stage straight up and onto the stage. Everyone loved this entrance and the concert got underway with no one having any troubles at all. At the intermission all six of the munks and ettes are really happy that everything is going smoothly.
What everyone didn't know was that in the audience there were two people there to try and ruin the munks and ettes. Once the concert started again everything was going smoothly till Ian got a text from Zoe telling him that he could go ahead and attack. As soon as Alvin finished the last song for the night Ian shoots two bolts of dark energy at the group as soon as Alvin and Simon see that they immediately go to get in front of the bolts as soon as they do that they trigger their warrior mode and stop the attack before it could do any damage to anyone. As soon as Ian fired his attack most of the audience members hid under their seats and this allowed Ian and Zoe to get away from the stadium without any chance of being caught by security. Once outside Ian informs Zoe that he didn't know if he hit his targets or missed, but new he had unleashed his attack towards Alvin and Brittany.
Back inside the stadium the six munks and ettes are waiting for everything to die down before trying to leave. After seeing what happened Dave believes Simon and asks him to do more research to see if there is a way to prevent any more attacks during concerts. Simon informs him that what would need to be done was not ethical by any means and could alienate their fan base from them. Simon's only answer is to stick to the original plans for the concerts and that if there is an attack there are four of them that could either block or send the attack back at the one who initiated the attack. After hearing this Dave is pleased that Simon has done all of this research on the ancient Civilization.
Later that evening Theo and Ellie are sitting outside their hotel at a park bench just enjoying each other's company when all of a sudden Ellie thinks she says some rocks start to move on their own, she points this out to Theodore and he sees that the rocks are moving in the same direction of his hands. Theo thinks the only explanation for this is that he must have awakened his powers when they were on Victory Tower and he faced his fear of falling when he jumped into the pool. The next thing either of them sees is Theodore surrounded by a wall of dirt. Fearing the worst Eleanor tries to move the dirt with no success. A moment later the dirt recedes and standing were Theodore was is now a munk in a green ninja suit. At this moment another wall of dirt surrounds Eleanor and when it recedes there she is in a matching green ninja suit.
Back in the hotel room Theo and Ellie show everyone that they have awakened their powers and everyone is happy for them. Simon informs them that their next tour stop is in Texas and they will be there for a week with two performances and again one will beat Fort Hudd and they will spend a whole day training this time. At the mention of this the six of them decide that they will go to bed early as they will need all of their strength when they get to Texas as they just barely managed to get through the day at Fort Jackson and this time they will be using Warrior mode so that they can increase their stamina while wearing their suits.
At an abandoned building Ian and Zoe are discussing how to attack at the next concert as they obviously know that a single attack won't work as they can block those with what appeared to be powers like those of the other heroes. Zoe decides that this time she will attack from one side and Ian from another so that they hopefully can injure at least one of the munks at their next performance.
Thanks for reading this chapter and remember toR.R.
