p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"A bright red laser blast causes his nanocomputer to send him diving behind a column.

Behind them is a man dressed in all black with an eye of XANA on his chest, holding a massive Zweihänder.

p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Ok. Time for a test. Does everyone see those targets," Lieutenant Weitzler says as he points at 3 metallic circles and a large metal dummy about 20 meters away./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"After they all acknowledge, he continues: "Yumi, Odd, Aelita, shoot at the targets. When they are done, Ulrich, I want you to use your sword against the metal dummies,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN"Odd, raises his hands into 2 fists. He quickly shoots 3 purple laser arrows from his 2 purple paws. Each laser arrow burns a hole clean through the target, and hits a thick metal wall 10 meters behind the target. Yumi throws her tessen fans at her target, slicing it in 2, before the fans come flying back to her hands. Aelita raises her palm, forming a large orange energy ball. She tosses it at her target. It explodes, burning a hole in her target and knocking the other 2 over. Ulrich runs forward and charges at his metal dummy. He easily slices it in 2 like a knife in butter./span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Very nicely done. I officially announce L squad as a functional squad under UN Defender Command Special Services," Lieutenant Weitzler says, slowly clapping his hands,"/span/p
p class="MsoNormal"span lang="EN""Everyone meet upstairs- where we will have a briefing on our next mission," /span/p
