Training: Bows and Arrows
Next morning, after breakfast, the seven friends went to the waterfall and there in the woods, they knew that the second part of the training would begin.
"Cybercam, we're ready!" Raine told to her morpher.
"Understood!" the voice of Cybercam said.
"What are we ready for?" asked Shane.
"This will be a simulation. Cybercam took some of my memories and made a virtual reality simulation for me to train you" she explained. "Everything you will see here is real"
Suddenly, all around seemed to change, the landscape, the colors… they realized that according to what Raine told them they should be in Nepal and what they were looking was the Ninja Academy.
"Cybercam, please give us the bows and the arrows, please" Raine said.
"On their way, babe!" he said, while Raine rolled her eyes.
In a moment, all of them had a carcaj at their backs, full of arrows and a bow in their hands.
"Guys, we are at my Academy. Follow me to the training field" Raine said to her friends.
They followed her silently, absolutely astonished with the beauty of the landscape, until they got to a clearing. In front of them, about two hundred meters, there were some figures hanging from a metallic bar.
"Ok, those are our targets. Please do the same that I do" said Raine, taking the bow and an arrow. She quietly prepared the bow and put the arrow, aimed at the target and released. The arrow finally got the exact place where the heart of that human-like figure should be.
"Now, your turn" she said smiling.
The Rangers started practicing and at the end of the morning they all get used to this new weapon. Their ninja abilities helped them a lot to get the trick on this.
Hunter and Blake were the most advantaged of all. They could aim and release the arrows while walking, the same as Raine. The rest of their friends looked at them amazed.
"Fine, you're doing excellent!" she said encouraging her friends. "Now, be prepared. You'll meet the lycans now. Try not to fail. If you get hurt here, you'll feel really bad when we go back".
They started feeling some noises and shouts, and in a minute they saw a pack of werewolves running towards them… they froze, all except Raine.
"OK, guys aim and release! Now!", and saying that she gave the first shot and one of the lycans fell down.
Her friends started attacking, but they were really nervous because when they saw the lycans approaching the only thing they thought was running away, so they could not get the targets.
"No, no… Cybercam… class dismissed!" she said and suddenly they were in the clearing in the middle of the woods.
"You can't run away!" she said, but their expressions of panic stopped her frustration.
"They … they are …" Tori couldn't find the words. She was almost crying.
"I know. They are horrible and maybe all that I told you can't be compared to what you saw today" Raine told them. "But we must be strong".
Shane was still shaking and Hunter sat down because he was about to faint. "You OK, bro?" asked Blake, offering his hand to help him stand up. "Yes, a little shaken up" he answered.
Cam was like absent, looking at the place where the lycans appeared, or where they were supposed to appear in the virtual reality. "How do you feel, Cam?" asked Raine. "Better now, thanks" he said in a whisper.
The way back to the waterfall was in absolute silence. The friends were speechless. Not even Dustin wanted to make a joke. It seems that they were about to cry, because their eyes were full of contained tears.
"Don't worry, guys" Raine said sweetly, "tomorrow you'll do it better".
The friends didn't know if thank her for her words or cry definitely.
