JUBILEE AND JUBILATION
PART TWENTY SIX
A LATVERIAN WELCOME
"Computer! Start training scenario!" Frosty yelled.
"What is this Star Trek?" Mike asked as the world was changed.
Frosty shot Mike a look as I took in our new surroundings. We were in a small valley, with a long shallow slope leading up. Frosty nodded her head towards the slope and up we went.
As we got to the top of the hill, we could see Castle Doomstadt in the distance, only about, 500 yards. The ONLY problem with this was the army of a good few thousand robots between us and it.
""My god, how do we go through all those, and still make it to Doom in time?" Rouge wondered for all of us.
Lucky, Frosty had a plan. "Jubilee?"
"Yah?" I said not taking my eyes off the army of robots.
"Do you think you can blow up the robots?"
"What? All of them?"
"Yes."
'Jubilation?' I thought.
'Well you can do it. Easily might I add, the only difficulty I see is not getting the castle in the blast.' Was the reply.
'Ok, thanks.' I thought and then said, "I think I can, but the castle might get caught up in the blast."
"That's why we have training scenarios Jubilee. If the castle gets destroyed, then we start over. Ok Here's the plan people. After the explosion, Katharine, Logan, Gambit and Betsy will head for the security room, where it will be Katharine's job to disable the security system, starting with the rest of the robots. Jean, Bishop, Sean and Henry will go after Doom himself, and Rouge, Jubilee, the Shield agents and I will stay out side as a distraction. Logan, you're in charge of your group, Bishop you've got yours. Now set your watches. We've been here for ten minutes. We've two hours and fifty minutes left. At thirty minutes left get the hell out of the castle, because at tem minutes left I'm having Jubilee detonate the castle, with whoever's still inside. Now do it Jubilee!"
I really had to concentrate. The robots were surrounding the castle on all sides, and I had to get them all, without getting the castle. I sent out my paffs, making them loop around the castle like a doughnut, with the castle as its hole. I sent out more and more, till I was certain there'd be enough, then I detonated it with my mind. There was a flash of white light, then all the robots were gone. Just gone, no parts left. The castle was blackened, but still standing. "Whoa!" was all someone; I'm not sure who said, before the two teams ran for the castle.
"What do we do now Frosty?" I asked.
"We wait."
Well we didn't have to wait long, as about two minutes or so after the teams got in the castle, the ground started to open up in various places, and out came wave after wave of flying doom controlled robots.
"Now remember, we're a distraction, so don't destroy them too quickly! But not so slow as to endanger yourself! Let's get them!" and with that she pulled out an energy rifle she had strapped to her back.
The next hour and fifty seven minutes, for that's how long the scenario lasted, was a kind of blur. Some of the time I was just blowing up bunches of robots that stood together. Sometimes I blew up a robot or two that was approaching a teammate. Sometimes a teammate shot, or in Rouge's case smashed, a robot coming at me I didn't see.
And then the computer announced, "Conditions met. Scenario has been cleared. Returning to normal Bio-Sphere running program." Then we were all back in the meadow.
After Frosty got her breath back, almost all the distraction team was out of breath, me included, she said "I'll look at the tapes of this little exercise, and we'll go over it tomorrow. Dismissed." She said, and left. We all followed her out of the Bio-Sphere, and all of us headed to the baths.
After my turn in the showers, and after my current set of body guards joined me, we had a subdued supper, for everyone was tired, and then I did my homework and went to bed a little early.
