Eva gets training from Six! And a few other things... Let's see how it turns out! Enjoy!

Chapter 9

I was being chased by an EVO. It was black and formless but I knew it was an EVO. My powers were still not working and all I could do was run. Run for my life. No one I knew was there to help. Only strangers laughing at me. The blackless gained on me and I tripped, falling. Only I didn't hit the ground. I just kept falling. I screamed for help but no one answered...

I woke up to Rex shaking me awake. I bolted upright and looked at Rex. The lights were out...still night. Why'd he wake me up?

"Whaddya want?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Well, you were virtually yelling in Japanese and you woke me up. So I'll wake you up."

"Wow that's a wonderful reason."

"What were you dreaming about, anyway?"

I told him the whole story. His eyes widened a bit.

"What?" I'm lost now.

"I had the exact same dream!"

"Is there some sort of psychic connection between us 'cause this is getting creapier by the second."

"Ya never know."

I looked at him. Then I looked at my clock. 5:02am. Well, once I'm up, I'm up. I sat crosslegged on my bed as Rex went back over to his own. I held up my hand and concentrated. I could barely see it. No scales appeared. I groaned and grabbed my flashlight. I always keep one by me. I flicked it on and looked around the room. Bobo wasn't in his usual spot. He wasn't in the room at all.

"Hey, where's Bobo?"

"Still at the motor pool, I guess. I thought you hated him." He looked at me curiously.

"I do. Does there happen to be a shooting range around here?"

"Yeah, but it hasn't been used in ages. Why do you want to know, anyway?" He arched an eyebrow at me.

"Oh, nothing..."

Right at that second, the lights cut on and I wsa nearly blinded by the whiteness. I turned my flashlight out. I heard the door open adn I looked to see who it was.

"Both of you, get up. We have a mission to take care of." As soon as he came, he was gone. I groaned.

Grabbing my sword and some clothes, I ran to the bathroom.

...

On the airship, I strapped the blade to my back rather than to my hip. I pulled it from the sheath and held it in my hand. I ran the edge along my finger. Blood began to drip down my hand. Good...but in case this fails I have a gun on me.

"We're here. Get out." Six said from up front. We all walked out of the ship to be faced by a gigantic fish-like creature. Only it had no scales and walked on four legs that looked like they used to be fins. The teeth...let's just say it scared the heck outta me. I took a step forward in the snow. It went above my ankles. I shoulda got some boots. This place was located in northern Alaska in a small village. The houses wer kinda beat up and covered with snow. I could see Rex generate his giant mechanical fists and get them in a ready position. Off to the side I could see Six with his katanas in his hands in a ready stance as well.

All of the sudden the creature lunged at me. I dodged at the very last possible second. I can already feel the cold getting at my feet. I gripped the sword. Six came after it from behind but was slapped away like a fly by the EVO's tail. I leaped forward, seizing the perfect oppurtunity to inflict some sort of damage. It's tail came flying towards me. Suddenly this froce slammed me out of the way.

"What the-!" It took a minute for me to realize what it was that was pinning me to the ground. Rex stayed there for about 20 seconds. I looked around.

"Uh, Rex?"

"Yeah?"

"Get off me."

He turned really red and stood up. I got up, brushed my pants off and got my sword. I gave Rex a fisheye. I saw Rex shrug as I leaped towards the EVO.

I raised the blade above my head and brought it back down hard. Its head came off and landed right on top of a minivan. Time seemed to slow as I came back down to Earth. The body was still twitching. I looked over at Six and Rex, who were just staring at me in amazement.

"What?"

"You are one cold blooded killer with that thing." Rex pointed at my blood dripping sword. I held it up towards him and smiled. Menacingly.
"I am when I want to be."

"Okay just put it away. You're making me nervous."

"Do you mind if I borrow that for a moment?" Six asked once we got back into the airship. Instead of saying anything, I just gave it to him. He looked at it for a short while and handed it back to me. That was actually one of the few pieces of his personality he allowed me to see.

"Why'd you ask for it?" I have got to konw the answer to this one.

Ignoring my question, he gave a different answer. "I will be training you today."

Rex's jaw dropped. I giggled at his reaction.

I gazed at it in wonder. So Six, and my mom were friends at some point...That must've been before something sucked all the emotion outta him. I looked back at my hand. I closed it into a fist and concentrated hard. After a few seconds, nothign happened. No scales, no claws, no nothing. I glared at my hands. When will my powers come back?

...

I walked alone in the halls of Providence, hoping for something to come up so I could entertain myself. I saw Bobo walk around the corner.

"Where have you been?"

"Ain't tellin'. Where's yer boyfriend?" He stopped in front of me.

"DUDE! We are frickin-ya know what?" I came this close to losing my sanity. This close!

"What?" The chimp smiled at me.

"Screw you."

"Geez. By the way, Six wanted to talk to ya."

" 'Bout what?"

"Didn't say. Down the hall third door to the right."

...

I opened the door to the room. There was some training logs and some...incense burners?

"Good. Sit down on the mat." Someone said from the shadows. I spun around to face whoever was talking.

Six. He walked past me and swiftly sat Japanese style on one of the mats. I sat on my own.

"Have you ever learned any defensinve fighting styles?" Six asked, calmer than usual. IT'S A MIRACLE!

"Uh, no."

"Then I'll teach you."

Uh oh.

...

I practically limped over to the door to leave when the door already opened. Not feeling liek standing anymore I fell into whoever's arms. I reccognized the scent. A bit earthy...Rex.

"Christ whaddya do to her, Six?"

"She pushed herself to that point. Even I would've stopped hour ago." Six responded a very slight hint of amazement.

"...Wow."

Everything after that was nothing but a white fog.

That was short for my standards. What ideas do you all have? I want some chocolate and please review!

WASABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
