Oni sat bolt upright at the sound of Jean's voice. He walked to the door and opened it. "Danger room? Isn't that just a bit melodramatic?" He shrugged not waiting for her answer and followed her down to a level of the mansion. "I haven't been here before, this place truly is huge." He entered twin large doors and looked around. It looked to be a regular room but he could tell that it wasn't. "Professor?"
"Ah, Oni nice to see you again. This is the Danger room; here's where we train for various things and also test ourselves here. I had Jean bring you here because I wished to see how powerful of fighter you were without your mutant abilities. This way we can customize your training. The people you will see here are robots. They aren't real people so you may use lethal techniques here if you so desire: here are your weapons." He said as he held out a tray full of weapons that he had given the Professor earlier.
He grabbed them up quickly finding new places to holster them and after that Xavier said, "Alright, we'll leave and let you do your stuff. However we will be monitoring from up there, and if you're in too much danger we'll stop the simulation, understand?"
Oni nodded sharply and he stood in the middle of the room and waited.
Jean walked along side the Professor. "..Are you sure he's ready for this?" She asked, her head down looking to the ground beneath her feet. "He has went through a lot, the both of them have." She sighed and walked up to the window, looking down on him. She put the microphone to her lips. "..Are you ready?" She asked and then looked over to the Professor with a concerned stare.
Professor Xavier smiled when they got into the control room. "Usually I wouldn't do this so early on but I believe he thinks he has to prove himself to us, and besides I think he has a few skills that we didn't think he had at first. The weapons I gave him earlier, they were Nin-jitsu weapons."
Oni stepped to the center of the room and nodded. Shortly after, the scenery changed and he leapt upward to another tree and hid in its leaves almost becoming invisible. He saw several robots converge on his location and look around, he knew that he wouldn't have to worry about hurting anyone so he didn't need to hold back, this would be easy. Suddenly, 7 sheruken's flew from the tree nailing each robot in the head precisely. Seven more came running and began firing in to the trees. Stun beams only he could see. He made a high arcing spinning flip jump and he landed behind one and used CQC swiftly. He grabbed one by the arm and stole his gun, holding the bot hostage, the other bots held back just as real people would. He shot the other three with the rifle and slammed the one he was holding to the floor hard enough to make any human unconscious. He then back-flipped to avoid a shot from another bot.
"You're a bit annoying, I'm done playing." He rushed at the rapidly firing bot and was so fast that he dodged the bolts easily. It seemed as if he disappeared for a short period of time until the robot went flying 20 feet in the air followed shortly by Oni, who took the robot by his coat front and spun himself and the bot so fast that it seemed become one person. He threw the bot down with such ferocity that it made dust when it hit, but Oni wasn't done yet.
He inverted and came down fist first, when he hit the bot it was as if he made a small bomb go off. When the dust cleared, Oni stood over a broken robot with a hole completely where its chest should have been. oni shook his head. "That's it, that was easy." and sat on the broken robot waiting.
Jean looked to him with awe. "..Oh My God." Was all she could say. She looked over to the Professor, her jaw still on the ground. She shook the expression from her face and went on the intercom. "Very Good, Oni." She smiled and waved to him.
She looked over to the Professor. "..I'm glad we got him first." She chuckled and turned back to Oni. He was powerful, physically. More than she'd ever seen before. He was more of a machine.. She raked her fingers through her hair. "..Training Course to Level Two.."
Oni stood thinking, that was too easy level to is going to be a piece of cake. He watched as 20 more robots came at him. "Oh, so you think you'll be able to defeat me?" He decided this would impress the hell out of them. He brought his hands together in numerous poses before they came up in almost prayer position but his left and right first finger were up and he said: "shadow replication!" All the sudden there were 20 Oni's throwing 2 sheruken's each at each robot. The robots fell to the floor sparking and jerking around and 19 of the 20 Oni's disappeared. "Was that supposed to be hard?"
Jean chuckled and looked to the Professor. "..What a study." She said, leaning back in the chair with pure awe and amazement.
Lacey stood at the door of the Danger Room, peeking inside the small window to watch. Wow, she thought. He's really... Um.. Wow. She giggled to herself and leaned on the door slightly. Her eyes widened seeing the shadow replicas. "Oh.. My." She whispered, tilting her head. She'd never seen such a power. She thought she was the only one who had a weird power.. A curse, a gift.. Whatever the hell it was. She sighed and looked up to where Jean and the Professor was and smiled slightly.
Oni smiled seeing how impressed they were. "If your that impressed I'd like to see what you say when I use my best move. but I don't show it often and use it even less. I take it were done?" But suddenly he collapsed to the floor on his knees, hands to his head and suddenly it was as if a huge bomb blew up as trees and parts of the ground were blown up and then some of the debris was lifted into the air followed by him. They started spinning around him and Oni screamed in pain.
Proffesor Xavier spoke to Jean, "We have to help him." He put his hands to his head and began to focus.
Jean looked down to him with worry and threw her hand out, catching him in mid air to stop him from spinning. Thoughts were running through her head, they were so.. Frantic, scared.. She ran down to the danger room and ran in front of him. She set him down on the floor gently and looked up to the Professor. "..Dammit." She said, walking over to Oni.
"...Oni?" She said, the thoughts getting stronger. She put her hand on his cheek and kneeled in front of him. "Oni!"
Oni was walking down a hall a place he didn't recognize, but then through certain doorways, he saw elements of his past, and something down the corridor was dark, evil and pulling him towards it. He saw the night ... That night he almost died.
He had been beaten already that day but his parents ganged up on him and was beating him. He knew he was dying, he was covered in his own blood and the blood of his parents that had beat each other first. They both had knives and while one beat him the other cut into him and each time he grew numb. Suddenly it was over until seconds later, he saw his father coming at his throat with a knife, and he passed out.
Oni woke up screaming and drew a knife and put it to Jean's throat as she was the nearest person there before falling unconscious into a dreamless sleep under the work of Professor Xavier. "Jean, are you alright?"
Jean couldn't help but scream. Her heart was pounding against her chest as she closed her eyes. She took a breath and opened her eyes. She put her hand to her chest, feeling it pound against her insides. She backed away slowly and threw herself up. She calmed down quickly, her head pounding. "..Yeah.." She said, putting her hand to her forehead. "..I-I'm fine."
Professor Xavier shook his head. "This poor person, he's gone through a hell. I could only imagine and I don't really want to. I'm sure he didn't mean to do that, but after the dream he had... " He shook his head wondering how he would ever reach this person. He sensed something very odd during that dream, it was almost another part of his personality. Evil but very powerful. "I'll get Someone to carry him to his room. I'm sorry this happened, Jean. I really am."
She looked over to him, swallowing hard. "..It's okay.. I-I could feel it." She put her hand to her head. "..I think I'm going to take a rest, is that alright Professor?" She didn't wait for his answer. She started to walk out of the Danger Room, after looking to Oni one last time.. Its like, she could feel everything.. She bit her lip as her eyes started to tear. She opened the Danger Room to see Lacey, her eyes wide.
"A-a-are you alright?" Lacey asked, stuttering wildly.
Jean paused and forced a smile. "I'm alright." She was pretty good at fooling people, even the Professor.. Sometimes that was a good thing. "I'm okay. That happens sometimes, when people get scared. I'm okay... I'm sure he didn't mean it. He's a good person."
Lacey gulped and looked back to the Danger Room.
She sighed. "I know. Go ahead and get some rest. The Professor might want to work with you soon, too. Alright?"
Lacey nodded and turned and walked back to her room, her eyes caught on the ground beneath her feet.
Jean gave a sigh of relief and walked through the corridor. She wondered where Scott was.. She missed him. She walked into their bedroom and plopped herself down on the bed.
