Chapter 6: Training
A/N: I'm back with a whole new chapter. First I would like to thank Shamira the Guardian for helping me with ideas for this story. I owe you one, Shamira. That's it, let's begin.

"Wake up!" Rose shouted barging in the room that Ulrich and Yumi are in.
"What?" Ulrich mumbled.
"You need to get up. It's time for training," Rose said.
"Do we have to?" Ulrich asked, sitting up.
"Unless you want to die by the Black Talons' hands, I suggest you get your lazy ass up," Rose said. (A/N: WHIPPED!)
"Okay, okay, I'll get up," Ulrich said, "Just give me time to wake up, Yumi."
"Whatever," Rose said.
"Where's Odd?" Ulrich asked, shaking Yumi to wake her up.
"About to wake up Aelita and Jeremy," Rose said, "Which is about to happen right about…"
A shout came from Rose's room.
"What was that?" Ulrich asked.
"Odd pouncing on Jeremy in his cat form," Rose said, "He did that to me one time, and ended up with a face full of water,"
Rose and Ulrich laughed at that, then Rose turned to leave, "Meet us in the living room as soon as you get her up." Rose said, gesturing to Yumi and left.
In the living room, Odd was trying to hold in his laughter, while Jeremy was glaring at him, "Don't you know that it's rude to pounce on someone, especially if they're SLEEPING!" Jeremy said.
"I can't help it!" Odd said, grinning madly, "You just looked vulnerable back there. I had to do it!"
Jeremy looked away, grumbling.
"Where's Rose?" Aelita asked.
"Waking up Ulrich and Yumi," Odd shrugged.
"I hope she doesn't do it the way you do," Jeremy said.
"No, I don't," Rose said, walking in the living room, "Because if I did, it wouldn't be funny, just painful."
Jeremy and Aelita cringed while Odd rolled his eyes.
"Where's Yumi and Ulrich," Odd asked.
"On the way here," Rose said, "That Yumi is a heavy sleeper. That girly shriek of Jeremy's didn't wake her up,"
Odd and Aelita laughed while Jeremy glared at Rose, "I'll have you know that furball here pounced on me while I was sleeping," Jeremy said, glaring at Odd.
"Aw, come on, Jeremy, it was funny, lighten up," Odd said, grinning.
"No, I won't," Jeremy crossed his arms.
"Looks like we missed something fun," Yumi said, walking in with Ulrich.
"Nothing fun at all," Odd said, "Jeremy's just mad 'cause I pounced on him."
"While I was sleeping," Jeremy glared at Odd.
"Odd, you shouldn't have done that," Ulrich shook his head, "At least let me get a camera first,"
Everyone laughed, except Jeremy, who was pouting childishly. (A/N: Out of character)
"Okay," Rose said, taking a deep breath to stop laughing, "We can make fun of Jeremy later. Right now we need to train now."
"Where are we going to do that?" Yumi asked, "I don't see anywhere we can train here."
"Come with me," Rose said, gesturing them to follow.
The gang walked out in a huge backyard. The gang was in awe, "Your backyard is huge, Rose," Yumi said.
"Naw, it's not that huge," Rose said, "Just enough room for me and Odd to train."
"You need this much space to train?" Jeremy said.
"Yes," Odd and Rose said in unison, making the gang nearly face fault.
"All right, we need the training equipment and weapons," Rose said, "Any volunteers?"
"I'll go," Ulrich said.
"Me too," Odd said, going into the house with Ulrich.
"So now what?" Jeremy asked.
"You guys can fight, right?" Rose asked.
"I can't fight, but Odd, Ulrich, and Yumi can fight," Jeremy said.
"I know Odd can fight, I've seen him do it before," Rose rolled her eyes, "I just want to know if you three can fight."
"Me and Ulrich can," Yumi raised her hand, "But Jeremy and Aelita are just geniuses, and they can't fight."
"Don't worry, I got something that is useful to them," Rose smiled at them.
"We're back," Ulrich called out walking outside with Odd, holding the training equipment and weapons. Ulrich brought some targets and Odd brought the stun guns.
"What took you so long?" Rose asked jokingly.
"Stuck in traffic," Odd shrugged, which made Rose bop him on the head.
"Dummy," Rose said and Odd stuck his tongue out.
"Okay, here's how we're going to train," Rose called out, getting everyone's attention, "We have to hit these targets, but it's not as easy as it sounds. These targets can fly around and fire back at you and they're very good at hiding in the skies. And judging how cloudy it is today, you're gonna have tough time."
"How are we going to know where they'll come in from?" Yumi asked.
"That's where Jeremy and Aelita come in," Rose looked at Jeremy and Aelita.
"Us?" They asked in unison.
"You. Now here," Rose gave them black goggles with green lens.
"What are they?" Jeremy said.
"They're for tracking enemies that are hiding. Just tap the lens to turn them on," Rose said.
"Thanks," Aelita smiled.
"You're welcome," Rose smiled back.
"What are we waiting for? Let's get started!" Ulrich said.
"Patience, Ulrich," Rose took out a controller and hit the on button. The targets starting floating then they took off into the skies, "You might want to get your guns. And Aelita and Jeremy, you might want to turn those goggles on."
Everyone did as they were told and waited. "Jeremy, where are they coming from?" Ulrich asked.
"Two of them coming at your right!" Jeremy said as the two targets came down and fired at them. They quickly moved out of the way and fired at the targets, but missed.
"When you said it's not as easy as it sounds, you weren't kidding," Ulrich said.
"You think I joke about stuff like this?" Rose asked and Odd quickly transformed into his cat form.
"Guys, one of them is about to fire straight from above you!" Jeremy said.
They look up and saw that the target was about to fire. Odd quickly jumped up and slash the target to pieces.
"That was close," Aelita commented.
"How many are left?" Yumi asked.
"Four," Rose said.
"And three of them are coming from behind you!" Jeremy shouted and the others quickly moved out of the way from an assault by the target. Ulrich fired at the target and managed to hit one of them, but the others hit him on the legs.
"Ulrich!" Yumi shouted running over to him, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Ulrich said, slowly getting up, "That stung though."
"Just be glad that was a stun laser," Rose said, "If that was a deadly one you would have lost some blood and been burning badly." The others wince as Odd destroyed a target and hissed at the others, "He needs help. You can still fight, right?" Rose asked Ulrich, who nodded, "Good."
"Rose, watch out!" Jeremy said as Rose turned around to see a target firing at her. Rose moved out of the way and fired her gun at the target, hitting it.
"Not bad, Rose," Yumi smiled.
"Thanks," Rose said. A hiss got their attention. They looked up to see Odd pointing at the sky.
"The last two targets are still in the sky, no doubt trying to catch us off guard." Rose said, looking up for the targets.
"You never said that they could be smart," Ulrich said.
Rose shrugged, "Slipped my mind. Now Jeremy, where are they?"
"They're still in the sky. I can't tell when they are going to attack," Jeremy said.
"We just have to wait then," Rose said.
"Uh-oh," Aelita said.
"What?" Ulrich asked.
"They split up," Aelita replied.
"Smart bastards," Yumi muttered, "Now what?"
"No doubt they're going to attack us from both sides. Yumi, you and Ulrich look on one side, me and Odd got the other," Rose said.
"Got it," Ulrich and Yumi said.
A target swoops down on Ulrich and Yumi's side. Ulrich tried shooting it, but missed and ended up getting hit on arm. Yumi fires and hits it bringing it down, "You okay, Ulrich?" She asked.
"Yeah, still need practice though," Ulrich said.
"Don't worry, we got plenty of time." Rose said.
"Here it comes!" Jeremy shouted as the last target came down on them. Odd quickly jumped up and slashed it to pieces.
Jeremy whistled in relief, "That was close."
"I'll say." Aelita said.
"Looks like we need more practice," Rose said as Odd transformed back into normal
"Don't worry, we'll get better," Yumi said.
"Good." Rose said. "Oh, by the way, Jeremy and Aelita don't think I'm counting you out. I'm gonna have to teach you how to use these guns." Aelita and Jeremy nodded
"Well, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep," Odd said.
"Odd, it's still morning and we haven't eaten breakfast yet." Rose said.
"That's right," Odd said then he grinned, "I'll eat first then go to sleep." He went back into the house and everyone either laughed or shook their heads.
A/N: That's it. The next chapter, the gang is going to infiltrate a Black Talon base, but it's not the one Dennis is in. You'll understand next chapter. Review!
