Chapter 6
The Training

Blade walks into a small room and goes to a control panel inside the room. "Let's see," starts
Blade. What shall I do?..."
Blade starts to push some buttons and hears a hum like something is charging up. All of a
sudden, Blade starts to fall to the ground. "Too much gravity!"
Blade slowly gets up and starts to punch into the air. Blade continues to punch until Erikson
comes around. "I think he's working a little too hard too fast," says Erikson to himself.
Blade starts to kick and punch into the air and then falls down. Erikson runs to the control panel
outside of the room and powers down the gravity until it becomes normal. Erikson runs to Blade.
Erikson gets to Blade and starts to smack his face, trying to wake him. "Blade," says Erikson,
"wake up Blade! C'mon Blade!"
Blade starts to blink his eyes. "Huh?" asks Blade. "Oh man. That's some rough gravity."
"You had it on 500x Earth's normal gravity!" yells Erikson. "What were you thinking?"
"I need to become as strong as I can as quick as I can."
"Killing yourself over it isn't the proper way! But... there is a way."
"What do you mean?"
"Have you ever heard of the technique fusion?"
"Yeah."
Erikson waves the Potarra Earrings in front of Blade and puts them in his pocket. "So, what do
ya think now?"
"Interesting. But who do I fuse with?"
"Why with me of course!"
"What's your power level?"
"About 100,000."
"That's all I need! We can do this."
"But there's one problem."
"What?"
"This kind of fusion is permanent."
Blade sits down and thinks about this. "I think we're going to need some more time about this."
Erikson nods and walks away. "If I fuse with Erikson, then he will never be here again. He'll be
with me."
Blade turns his head and starts punch and kicking. He starts to slow down and walks out of the
room. He pushes some buttons and walks back into the room. Coming from the ceiling five
mini robots come out, each having a gun on each arm. Blade turns on the gravity to 500x Earth's
normal gravity. He jumps in the air and the robots take different directions. Two robots start to
shoot out lasers and Blade dodges them in the air. He goes right behind one of them and chops it
in half with his hand. Blade flies to the ground and the one robot blow up. One shoots out a
little bomb and Blade catches it and throws it back up. It comes down too quickly and blows up
in front of Blade. Blade goes flying to a wall but starts to climb up it by jumping. He keeps
doing that until he gets to another robot and fires a blast out of his hand and destroys another
robot. The last three robots start to light up and fuse together to become a big triangular robot.
The robot fires a big blast out of the hole within the three robots at Blade. Blade starts to block
the blast and throws it back at the robots which then blow up.
Blade falls down on the ground and closes his eyes. "I need to get to the control panel," says
Blade.
Blade starts to crawl to the control panel. He starts to reach out his hand and touches the side of
the panel. Crawling toward the panel, Blade inches his way up the panel and presses the buttons
needed to turn off the gravity. Blade falls down and faints. He wakes up minutes later and gets
to his knees. He thinks to himself again. "What should I do?" thinks Blade.
Blade walks out of the room and walks to where Erikson is. "Erikson," starts Blade, "it's time."
