Test of Endurance
After the events of the night before the team slept peacefully. All of them where as tired as the dead.
Anna though got up way before anyone and went to the store that she could find at 6:20 in the morning. None the less she found one.There she bought some food and headed back.
When she got back Grandpa and Kai where up. Kai went for a walk and Grandpa ran around with his shirt off trying to sneak up on her when she wasn't paying attention. After about the 50 th time though she took one of the bukutos(wooden sword) and snuck up on him scaring the heck out of him and waking up Hiro. Anna was standing over Grandpa, who was on his knees clutching his heart, laughing her gutts out, when Hiro came out. When he saw them and heard what happened he too started laughing. Nothing had changed.
After the little fun Anna went back to focus on breakfast. She decided to make pancakes, with bacon and juice. She would get them up at 8:00, if they weren't already up, for breakfast and start training at 9:15. But by 7:30 they where, physically, up if not a wake. All where up that is except Tyson. Rei just laughed when Anna asked where he was "He sleeps like the dead. It takes quite a bit to wake him up. I don't think you'll be able to get him up." "Oh we'll just see about that." smirked Anna About five minuets later Tyson came running out of his room scared of his mind. "Th-theres a hood p-person in my room! I-its death coming t-to get me!" Tyson stammered frightened, "Its g-got a sword and-and..." At that point 'death' walked in the door. It sheathed its sword on its back and pulled down it hood. "RUN! It will eat our souls!" cried Tyson and hid behind Kenny. Everyone else just stood there looking at Tyson. Anna stood there laughing at her alarm clock joke to wake up Tyson. The room just erupted with laughter. Tyson just stood confused. "Good now we can have breakfast." said Anna walking over to dish up the food. "That was not funny." huffed Tyson as he excepted a plate of flap jacks from Anna. Daichi barley able to speak through laughing said, "Are you kidding that was hilarious. I f I had 5 bucks..." "Thats enough, eat your breakfast you'll need your strength. Is everyone good?" she asked as everyone was digging to their food. "We start at 9:15. I'll be back before then." "Aren't you going to eat?" Hiro asked. She just smiled, "I ate earlier. I just need to go out for a bit. I promised a friend I would deliver something to him the next time I was in town. I'll be back in soon." Without waiting for a response she turned on her heel and left.
The rest went on with there breakfast but Kai got was worried. He had been around her most of the morning and hadn't seen her take a bite of anything.
At 8:45 Anna came back and the gang where finishing up the dishes. "How come I have to wash?" complained Tyson. "How come Kai or Anna don't have to help?" Just as Anna walked in the room. "For starters I made breakfast and Kai was up way before any of you. So don't skimp. Remember you have to eat off of these later. We almost ready to start? When your ready head outside. You don't need you blades. Come on Kai, help me set up." Anna said. And to every ones amazement Kai followed her freely with out question. As they left everyone just watched. They where all wondering the same question; but said nothing.
When they came out side six stumps about 5 feet high where lined up as well as some bamboo posts. They all gathered as Anna gave them a briefing about the days events. "For you blade to be strong you yourself have to be strong. You need to know how to hold your ground and keep you balance during a ferice attack. You also need endurance. The longer you can stick it out the better chance you'll have to win. Any questions?" "Whats with the stumps and stuff?" asked Daichi. "Ah, that brings us to our first test. Balance. To test this you will be standing on those bamboo poles that are fastened into the ground. We will see how long you can go and who the last person standing will be. I will also be doing this. Every thing you do I will do it with you so don't think I'm making it hard for you guys and I just watch you suffer. Get up on the posts and we'll get started.
They all climbed up on top of the posts; many of them had to take a few attempts before actually getting up. Swaying and leaning trying to keep there balances as best the could. There was really only space for one foot which made it that much harder. Anna jumped up with no problem what so ever and stood there watching the rest struggle. Rei of course had no problem getting up or keeping balance. Kai was leaning a little bit but was pretty much fine. Max was having a little trouble but stuck it out the best he could. Tyson and Daichi took a good minute to get up and find there balance. Once everyone was up Anna gave the rest of the instructions, "Ok. We all balanced? I'll keep time of how long you are able to stay up. If you fall just sit on the side and watch the others. Any questions?" "Do we get lunch after wards?" asked Tyson bending over trying to recover from talking which broke his concentration. "You bet." "Lets do this!" shouted Tyson, nearly falling him off his post. So they all stood on the posts. a few of them leaning this way and that trying to keep there balance. Not even 10 minutes in Tyson fell off on to his ass. Daichi laughed so hard that he to fell off. The rest of them managed to keep up on the poles. After a about half an hour Max stepped down just in time before his legs gave out. Rei, Kai and Anna were left. The rest of the team stood of to the side and watched to see who could stick it out the longest. They soon started placing bets on the winner.
After about an hour and 10 min Kai gave up, "Good job Kai." congratulated Max. "So how long do you think they can stay up there?" "Anna's not going to step off any time soon. She can go for hours; even days if she has to." Said Kai. The rest of them looked at him in amazement. "And how would you know that?" asked Tyson. "I've seen it first hand. And before you ask yes, I have met Anna before. Along time before." Kai said it so calmly it scared them.
"Hey Rei," shouted Anna from her post, "you could probably stay up hear all day couldn't you?" "Yep." Rei shouted back. "I think we're done hear you can step down Rei." The two of them jumped off the bamboo poles landing softly on the ground Their legs nearly giving way. The two of them supported each other as they walked up to the group. "Well you all did fairly well. Theres some work that could be done, but for mainly greens you did ok." Anna found herself staring at a few puzzled faces. "What are greens? Some type of food?" asked Tyson. "Green is meant when someone whether an animal or person is knew at something. Like a horse being rid for the first or second time we call it a green horse. Just go with me on this. Now I want to do one more thing before lunch." "Aw, you said we got lunch." "I know, I know. I just want to know if you can climb those stumps." She pointed to the 5 feet high stumps. Tyson just looked as if he was going to die.
"I promise on my blade that we will have lunch after wards. Alright up the stumps. Rei you first." instructed Anna. Rei just took a couple of running steps and leaped in the air like a deer and landed on top of the stump. He turned around and said "Was that good?" Anna smiled, she was relived she had someone as fit as Rei to help motivate the team into doing this. "Awesome Rei. Kai you next."
The team watched intently as Kai stepped beside and Anna and said "Alright. Haven't done this in a while." He took a good run at it and jumped up and landed heavily on the stump but stayed up. He stood up and looked at them. The rest of them had a shocked face on. Even Rei looked at him funny. Anna on the other hand looked quite amused. "Not bad, for an old timer." The rest of the team just looked confused. "Next up Max. Do your best."
Max looked hard and long at the log until he broke out into a full out sprint. He jumped as high as he could but was a little short. He managed to grab on to the top and pull himself up though. "Daichi go." Daichi ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He jumped up and too, graded on to the top and pulled himself up. Now it was Tyson's turn. Ran at it with all his might and jumped. He managed to grab the top of it but lost his grip trying to pull himself up. "Nice try Tyson, but it looks like you need to work on your upper body strength. Alright time for lunch.
"Hey you haven't done it!" protested Tyson. "You think I couldn't do it?" asked Anna. "I don't know prove it." "Fine. I will." Anna strode up to the stump and stood right beside it. She crouched low and sprang up into the air landing lightly on the stump. "That good enough for you?" she asked looking down at Tyson with a smile. Tyson just stomped off to lunch. The rest of them found their own way to get off the stumps. Anna, Kai and Rei all just jumped straight off. Max sorta sat down and slid off the stump. Daichi hung from the edge, trying to lower himself before he let go. All of them fallowed Tyson inside. "Hey dudes! How's it shaking? Working hard?" asked Grandpa as they entered. "You guys ready for lunch?" asked Hiro coming into the room. "Hey Hiro? That wall outside is nine feet right?" asked Anna. "Yah, why?" "Just remembering that its nine feet not ten. Why not just make it ten feet?" Anna asked. Hiro just laughed and replied, "Because they knew some one like you would wonder." "Haha. Just eat your lunch."
After lunch of soup and sandwiches made by Grandpa (which everyone hardly ate) they headed back to the yard. Anna had gone out before them and had pushed one of the 5 foot stumps up by the wall. She answered there question before they even asked, "The 5 foot stump was a warm up for this. All you have to do is jump on top of this wall and your done for the day. Lets get started." She turned around and leapted up on top of the wall and looked down at there surprised faces, "Who wants to go first?" Rei stepped up and took a couple of steps and lept with ease on to the wall. Next Kai had a go. He ran a little then jumped up on the wall. He looked very cunning with his scarf flying behind him. He walked along the wall to where Rei was. Max took a good long run and was almost able to grab the top but his fingers slipped. Anna graded him by the wrist and hoisted up saying, "Nice try. Next time crouched down lower. You'll get more power. Daichi, your turn."
Daichi ran as fast as he could and jumped as high as possible but could not reach the top. He tried several times until giving up. There was no way he could do this. This did not impress Tyson much and he was going to tell her. "Hey this isn't fair. There's no way in hell that Daichi can get up there. This is unfair." "I just asked you to do this Tyson I didn't ask you if you thought it was fair. Its more than just trying to get up the wall. So get your ass up hear."
"NO! I will not do this. Ever since you got here you acted as your slave drivers! Your doing this out of your own amusement! Then you show off to what you can do and we can't. And what is this with you and Kai? A team tells everything because we trust each other." He screamed at her. She just looked down at him staring him straight in the eye. She was not going to let this snot nose kid tell her what she should be. With one leap she jumped off the wall and landed a foot away from Tyson.
"Your mouth runs a little too often. You should learn to keep it shut once in awhile." The rest of the team followed Anna down off the wall. Kai was worried what this conflict could lead too. "And you know nothing of me. You also have no business in Kai's and mine knowledge of each other." She yelled back.
Tyson had enough. He was going to finish this, "Know what you are? Your just a spoiled brat. Why don't you go run to daddy. I bet he can bye you something nice."
That was the last straw. Anna was shaking with furry. Kai could sense this and interrupted, "Tyson thats enough drop it." Tyson looked at him in discuss and spat back, "NO! I will not drop this. If I'm supposed to listen to this bitch I want to know I can trust her." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of chap.
