"Just a minute!" Came one voice.
"We'll be out in a sec!" The second rang out.
And suddenly it was silent. No voices, no noises, nothing. Aqua tilted her head the the side in confusion, and raised her hand to bang on the door a second time. Suddenly, the door cracked open and a slim face appeared, causing Aqua to abruptly stop her fist. It was Ven. He looked up at Aqua's hand.
"Uh, hi. You gonna hit me, or what?" He asked.
Aqua returned her hand to her side quickly and gave a large smile. She glanced at Ven, noticing he was fully clothed in his training uniform. It wasn't actually a uniform, but everyone insisted to call it that. It was instead several metal plates covering the vital parts of the user. The metals were held to the leather of the regular clothing with a sort of magick, causing them to hover slightly over the material. It looked neat, Aqua always noticed.
"Sorry," She recovered, "Mind if I join you?"
Ven returned her smile. "Not at all, grab your plates there."
He pointed to the wall next to the door. Aqua approached the wall and tapped it in various places. Pulsing blue lights appeared with each touch on the wall, every pulse making a low sounding tone. She tapped it a total of four times, all in different places, and on the fourth tap the wall churned with the sounds of gears from inside. Three panels slowly extended from the wall, each carrying about two plates each. Aqua grabbed plate by plate and placed them over her vitals, upon which they hovered above her clothes. Once she was fully equipped, Aqua headed inside, thanking Ven for holding the door open for her.
Aqua always found the Training Chamber unreal. It wasn't the floor that amazed her, as the floor was as plain as every other in the building, but rather the walls that always caught her attention. Large pillars extended from the walls, moving in and out on the will of the room. Every place where there wasn't a pillar, large panels covered the walls, shifting from time to time. The walls had to be this particularly agile, due to the constant movements made by keyblade wielders when fighting. Jumping around on the walls was necessary in order to avoid your opponent. The movement of the walls not only made this possible, but also incredibly difficult. The walls were designed for maximum training purposes, making sure that each pupil was tested to his, or her, full potential. Aqua always enjoyed the challenge.
At the far end of the chamber, Aqua could faintly make out a figure in the distance. The person's white clothing blended with the color of the walls. Ven waved to the person from next to Aqua, and received a small wave in reply. The person's voice was made clear through the large room, echoing off the walls.
"Since when do you train?" Stated Terra, rather rudely.
Aqua rolled her eyes. "Since you became a worthy opponent."
Terra laughed, "Well, I guess we'll see about that."
