Chapter Five

Day One: Training

Time: 0630 hours

Nigel and Abby had been back in the USA for officially twenty four hours after the battle between The Delightfuls and A.T.H.S.W in England. They had been given a days rest and was able to get to know their ex team mates.

"Good morning trainees. We require you in the meeting room in exactly half an hour." Agent PH's voice came through the sound system. All five members groaned slightly and rolled over, "and I mean NOW"

Kuki sighed and decided she had better get out of bed. She could remember the importance of following orders and knew they should get moving, even if she was the only one actually moving. She stumbled into the bathroom and started her morning routine.

Time: 0635 hours

Hoagie was the next one who started to get up, being in the air force he knew the importance of being on time and so he knew the Agent was serious. He looked over at Nigel and Wally who where both still sleeping. All three where sharing a room as was the girls. Hoagie then headed over to the bathrooms.

Time: 0640 hours

Nigel finally decided it was time to get up and start moving. He noticed that they only had twenty minutes so he decided to wake up Wally at the same time.

"Wally it's time to get up" Wally mumbled something and rolled over.

"We have to be in the meeting room in twenty minutes"

"Don't care" Hoagie then came in, dressed and drying his hair with a towel.

"He's still asleep?"

"Yeah"

"Leave him then. He'll need a lesson on this" Hoagie said with a smirk. Nigel shrugged his shoulders and then headed to the bathroom.

Time: 0645 hours

Kuki came back into the room she was sharing with Abby. She smiled slightly as she noticed that Abby was still asleep.

"Abby you've gotta get up"

"Abby needs her sleep" Abby murmured.

"You've only got fifteen minutes to have breakfast, shower get dressed and be in the meeting room" Abby didn't say anything but got up and moved slowly to the bathrooms.

Time: 0650 hours

Wally was finally rising from his slumber when Agent PH's voice came over the system.

"This is a reminder for trainee's you have to be in the meeting room in ten minutes" Wally muttered a number of swear words and pulled on jeans, a orange sweatshirt and brushed his hair quickly.

"We did try to wake you" Hoagie told him coming back in to his room to grab a blue top, "you didn't get up"

"Then try bloody harder next time" Wally informed him as he rushed around to get ready. Hoagie smirked and then headed out.

"See you in the meeting room"

Time: 0700

Agent RA looked at Wally's empty seat and sighed. He had a feeling Wally was going to be late today but he didn't want to believe it. Kuki had arrived first followed soon after by Abby, Nigel and Hoagie.

"This training session will now start" As soon as Agent RA stated that Wally rushed in and took his seat between Kuki and Abigail, "your late" Agent RA informed Wally sternly.

"Sorry"

"You had half an hour to arrive all of the other members made it in plenty of time" Wally looked sheepish. Agent RA stared at him for a minute and then turned to the whole group, "you all must show up on time for all remaining training sessions. If a member is running a little late you must all help them as well" All of the ex K.N.D members nodded, "This morning you will be split into two groups Hoagie and Kuki you two will be together while Wallabee, Nigel and Abigail will all be together. Hoagie and Kuki you will be taking a practice IQ test this morning while Wallabee, Nigel and Abigail will be in the gym." All five members nodded, "you will have thirty minutes for lunch and then you'll switch"

"Thirty minutes?" Hoagie muttered quietly to himself.

"Do you have a problem with that Hoagie?" Agent RA asked sternly.

"No Sir"

"Good"

Time: 0800hrs

Wally, Abigail and Nigel all ran steadily around the field. There trainer had informed them that they had to do fifty laps around the big field and they where so far on their 30th lap. Wally smirked.

"I'll give you two a race." He said with a smirk, starting to speed up.

"Deal" Abby and Nigel said in unison and for the last twenty laps they ran faster around the field. Nigel went over the line first.

"Twenty Five minutes" The trainer informed him as he chucked him a bottle of water, Wally crossed the line a minute later. "Twenty Six minutes" Wally nodded as he drank some of the water. "Twenty Nine minutes" Abby nodded as she tried to catch her breath.

"You three all need to improve on your timings and also learn it's not a race." The trainer lectured, "You also have to work as a team not on your own."

Time: 0900hrs

Kuki was halfway through her practice IQ test when she noticed that Hoagie was only a quarter of the way through. She then realized she was rushing the test and took her time to go back and check as they still had three hours to go.

Hoagie was stuck on a question he couldn't decide the right answer so he decided to take a guess on which one that he would prefer. He then noticed that Kuki had looked over at him and was now looking back at her answers.

Time: 1000hrs

Wally watched as Abby tried but failed to dodge a punch from Agent TR, she clutched her side slightly. He shook his head, his tutoring skills coming through.

"Nah your doing this wrong. What you've got to do is see which way the arms coming from and dodge the other way. If she's using her left arm and curving slightly to the right she's going to hit you in the stomach (1) so therefore you got to move to the right." Wally explained, "try it again" he informed Agent TR who raised his eyebrow and nodded, this time however when he done it she managed to dodge it and grab his arm. Nigel clapped.

"How did you know that?" Nigel inquired.

"I used to teach self defense, she was dodging the wrong way" Wally explained.

Time: 1130hrs

"Report" Agent RA asked from Agent TR.

"Wally, Nigel and Abby's teamwork was shaky at first but they are coming through. Wally taught Abby how to duck punches, by doing that he also showed Nigel. Abby in return managed to duck one of my attacks and pin my arm back." Agent RA nodded and then turned to Agent PH.

"How are Hoagie and Kuki doing in their practice IQ tests?"

"Originally Kuki was rushing through it but now she's double checking all her answers and sometimes even triple checking. She is however two thirds of the way through her test while Hoagie is one third" Agent RA nodded.

"Alright they've still got half an hour so you better go back" The two agents nodded and they returned to the two teams.

Time: 1200hrs

Kuki and Hoagie came into the cafeteria and smiled slightly as they saw Nigel, Abby and Wally eating rather slowly.

"Hard morning?" Kuki inquired.

"You have no idea. Try and work as a team when you do your training" Nigel advised, "you'll thank us for it later" Hoagie and Kuki both nodded.

"What about the practice IQ test? What was that like?"

"Difficult but check your answers before you hand it in. That's my only advice" They nodded and started to eat.

Time: 1230hrs

"Please write your full name on your paper as well as the date and time in twenty four time." Agent PH informed Nigel, Abigail and Wally, "you may start… now" They all started there test but Wally couldn't figure out what was annoying him until he realized it was the silence.

"Can we have some music?" Wally asked Agent PH but she shook her head firmly. He sighed and continued to work.

Time: 1300hrs

Kuki and Hoagie where both running steadily around the field together. They didn't bother counting their laps and because of that they where running around faster than Nigel, Abby and Wally had in the morning.

"Do you want to speed up a little?" Kuki asked Hoagie with a small smile.

"Sure why not" They both ran together on there final lap and hit the finishing line at the same time.

"Congratulations you two you managed to beat the group from this morning however not by much you took 20 minutes to get around the field. I know all of you can do better and will be expecting it tomorrow.

Time: 1500hrs

"You have two hours left to finish your practice test trainees remember to take care in your questions." Agent PH warned. Abby finished the second to last section of the test and decided to go back and check her answers. She looked over each of them made a few changes and went onto the last section as well.

Nigel had already finished the test and was redoing it again to make sure he had done everything correctly to his knowledge. Like Abby he made a few changes and re-worded a few of his answers he then put his papers neatly and wondered what he was going to do for the next two hours.

Wally however had about three sections to go and hadn't been going back to check on his paper, he had decided he was going to check it if he had time at the end. He was working at a steady rate but he had no idea what the others where doing as he hadn't looked up in the past three and a half hours.

Time: 1630hrs

Kuki was watching Hoagie fence Agent TR with some difficulty. She watched as Agent TR was about to knock his sword out of Hoagie's hand but Hoagie managed to move at the last moment, a second later and he would have lost the match.

"Hoagie move now!" Kuki warned as Hoagie dodged to the right.

"Thanks"

"Welcome. Keep an eye on the person's actions not the sword. They'll give away what their planning (2)" Kuki advised. A few seconds later Kuki cheered as Hoagie managed to knock Agent TR's sword away and have his sword at his neck.

"Good fencing" Agent TR informed him.

"It was with Kuki's help." Agent TR smiled.

"I'm glad you're working with your team-member"

"Thanks"

Time: 1700hrs

Wally put down his pen with a slight smile. He had finished just in time, he watched as Agent PH stood up.

"Please put your pens down and your papers in a neat pile" Abby and Wally both tidied there papers while Nigel had a bored look on his face, "alright you may leave see you tomorrow trainees"

Time: 1800hrs

"How did they go today?" Agent LC inquired.

"Well Wally was late, but we expected that. In the beginning Nigel, Abby and Wally didn't work as a team but against each other however through out the morning gym session they soon learnt they're better off as a team. Kuki and Hoagie managed to go through the practice test and check their answers with ease. At lunch Nigel, Abby and Wally warned Kuki and Hoagie to work as a team which is what they did and they bet the morning's team time of the laps by five minutes. Kuki and Hoagie both advised the group to check their answers which is what they also did and Nigel finished his practice IQ test early which we also expected. Other than that it all went well" Agent RA informed Agent LC.

"That's excellent. I want regular updates through out the next two weeks"

"Yes Agent LC"

To Be Continued…

Authors Notes: I don't know if this is necessary true as I've never taken self defense and am not much of a fighter.

I also don't know if this is true but as with the last note it's my fic and that's how it's going to be.
