Chapter Two

"Hey, Beast," Rebecca said, jumping out of the portal and landing on top of his worktable. "Oops. Were those chemicals…"

BANG!

"…Volatile." Rebecca sighed and rubbed the black off of her face. "Sorry."

Beast blinked and looked at the sorceress. "It's quite all right," he said. "I can always recreate those chemicals…"

Rebecca winced. "Sorry, I misjudged where the portal would open."

She jumped over Beast and landed in a crouch. "Say, do you have anything like a Scouter?" she asked, getting up and looking at him. "I want to go work out in the Danger Room and see how high my power level goes."

"I might have something like that," Beast replied, going over to a cupboard and rummaging through it. "Uh-huh! Here it is!"

He brought over a large black device. Said device looked like radar standing on three legs. Rebecca grinned. "This is exactly what I need!" she said. "Uh, how do you turn it on?"

Beast sighed and showed her how to activate the device. He was mildly surprised when she understood almost immediately – she was obviously smarter than she looked. Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to tell her that to her face…

"OK! I'm off to train!" she said, grabbing the device and heading through a portal to the Danger Room. The minute she got there, she put the Energy Reader in a corner and activated it.

"State name," it said in a computerised voice.

"Rebecca Sarah Angelheart."

There was a beep. "Rebecca Sarah Angelheart's current power level is 700 million."

Rebecca thought for a moment. "OK, so I guess I would show up on Scouters," she said to herself. "Time to train. Computer! Activate Lashana and Blackwargreymon's training programme!"

BEEP! "Program activated."

Rebecca drew her sword and prepared to fight.

"Sir, how long do we wait?"

"Another hour."

"Yes, sir."

*-*-*-*

Rebecca leapt out of the way of a laser blast and jumped forward, her sword shining silver as it sliced another Sentinel clean in half. Having an enchanted sword was useful when it came to combat…

"Subject's power level at 10 Billion," the Reader said. Rebecca frowned, that wasn't her highest level of power. She usually went up to around 500 billion!

She felt another blast coming at her back and leapt into the air. She somersaulted in mid air and landed in a crouch a few feet away from the group of Sentinel's that had just appeared behind her.

She smirked and unleashed a barrage of fireballs on them, blowing them apart like tin foil.

Wolverine watched from the Danger Room control room. Rebecca was stronger than she looked! So far, only Lashana and Blackwargreymon had been able to train against this program. Then again, he knew for a fact that Rebecca was just as strong as Lashana and Telca, so he shouldn't have been so surprised that she was currently reducing the Sentinel's to pools of liquidised metal…

*-*-*-*

"Subject's power level at 50 Billion."

Hmm…I must be having an off day, Rebecca thought, slicing through another Sentinel. My power level is lower than it should be.

Regardless of her apparently low level of power, she re-activated the program and started her training again.

*-*-*-*

"Sir, Rebecca's power level has just shot up to over 500 billion!"

"So, it's true that her power could have surpassed her husband's if she had only trained while he was alive," the commander said. "Now that he's dead, she'll be an easy target…"

He couldn't have been more wrong.
