Alvin's POV
So we trained for weeks. We trained how to use our weapons, hide in crowds, climb even better than we were able to before, and to keep to the shadows. One day we were practicing with our hidden blades. We decided to do a battle royale practice where everyone was on their own. We started out about seven feet away from each other. Brittany was on my right and Jeanette was on my left. Left of Jeanette was Simon, then Eleanor, and then Theodore.
Me: "Ready, guys?"
They all nodded. Dave was behind us and agreed to start off the match.
Dave: "Start."
We ran towards each other and started fighting. We all paired up with our counterparts at first. With Brittany, I tried to go for her eyes, but she dodged to her left and went for my stomach. I noticed that Simon went for the back of my head after seeing a probable opening. Luckily, Dave gave each of us two hidden blades. I blocked both Simon's and Brittany attacks, but then Simon was tripped by Jeanette and I was kneed by Brittany. While I was going down, I noticed Theodore and Eleanor going at it. Somehow, they were evenly matched. Back to Brittany, I saw she was going to kick me on my back to land on the ground, but I turned around, grabbed her foot, and flipped her over. She landed on her feet, but I was able to recover. We went at it again, but this time everyone was actually going all out on each other. After a while, we all became tired.
Dave: "Stop."
We all listened to him and sat down.
Dave: "Good job, everyone. Now, you're ready for some advanced training."
Simon raised his hand.
Dave: "Yes, Simon?"
Simon: "What do you mean by special training?"
Dave: "I'm glad you asked because I need to tell you all something now. As you know I was the hidden blade expert in the entire U.S order of Assassins. I was the best and I have taught you all how to use it as well as I have. Now, I will set you up with masters of your own weapon. You will train with this master until your first mission."
Me: "So, we're all going to be separated?"
Dave: "Only for lessons. I will still take care of you, but how long you stay there is completely up to the masters."
A few hours later…
Dave took me to my "training place." I didn't even think I needed it. I mean, it's a gun. I shoot, I reload, and I shoot again. What would I need to learn here? When we got there, I saw an abandoned city underground panic area kind of place. When we went inside, I saw a chipmunk in his forties. We walked up to him.
Dave: "Alvin, this is Sharp. He will be your master for your sniper rifle."
I held out my hand.
Me: "Nice to meet ya!"
Sharp: "Good to meet you, too, rookie."
He shook my hand and led me inside. I guess Dave need to show the others their masters. I'll admit, after that comment, I was a bit ticked off, but still excited. When we got inside, I noticed the interior. It had so many shooting ranges and tactical areas, but I saw passed that to a skating rink.
Me: "Is that a skating rink?"
Sharp: "Yeah, if I need to teach you how to shoot, I need to teach you how to skate."
Me: "Why?"
Sharp: "Because, what's more shaky and fast at the same time than a skateboard? If I'm going to teach you, I'm going to need to teach you how to shoot dead on even if you're in an earthquake that splits the earth in half."
That actually sounds pretty cool from first thought.
Me: "Sweet."
Sharp: "Anyway, I'll give you a tour of the place and then we'll get started."
Simon's POV
Dave came back to the car and drove to another place that was supposed to teach me how to use my sword. I'm actually very interested to know what my teacher will teach me. When we got there, we were at a local dojo.
Me: "Dave, are you sure this is the right place because normally, these places are rip-offs."
Dave: "Yes, I'm sure, Simon. This is the dojo of Master Shing."
When we went inside, nobody was there except for a girl in her teens practicing her sword work.
Me: "Dave, don't tell me that's my teacher."
Dave: "No, Simon. She's also teaching someone else. She's known for being able to teach multiple students at the same time better than just one."
The girl looked at me and Dave and walked up to us. She bowed down and came back up.
Girl: "Hello."
Dave and I bowed in respect and greeted her back.
Sarah: "My name is Sarah."
Me: "I'm Simon, nice to meet you."
Then a woman in her thirties came out. She looked like a mix of Chinese and American.
Shing: "Hello, Dave. Nice to see you, again."
Dave: "Nice to see you, too, Shing."
They both bowed and came back up.
Simon: "This will be your swordsmanship instructor."
Shing: "Wow, Dave. Last time I saw you, you could barely finish a smart sentence. Now you're saying them with great ease."
Dave: "Well, becoming a song writer and taking care of two A students helps."
Shing: "I presume that this is one of those A students."
Dave: "You presume correctly, as always."
Shing: "Come, Simon. Sarah and I will show you around."
I nodded and waved Dave goodbye.
Theodore's POV
Dave brought us to my training place and stopped in the parking lot. We were at a mall.
Me: "Dave, why are we at a mall?"
Dave: "Two reasons. The girls kept complaining about how bored they were and this is where you'll be training."
Me: "How do I train my skills with a rope dart in a mall? I mean it has an actual kunai on the front and they take any toy sword away when someone goes in."
Dave: "She can get you in."
He pointed to a woman in her twenties and brought me up to her.
Dave: "Sneak, this is the chipmunk I've been telling you about. Theodore, this is Sneak, Sneak, this is Theodore."
Sneak: "Really, Dave? I don't see you in years and the first time we talk, there's no hello?"
She held out her hand and I shook it.
Sneak: "Anyway, nice to meet you."
Me: "You, too."
Dave: "I have to go show the girls their teachers. Anyway, see ya, Theodore, Sneak."
Dave walked to the car where the girls miraculously were and drove away.
Sneak: "Okay, Theo. Let me show you what we'll do for training."
Brittany's POV
Dave drove us to a clothes store. Apparently, this is where I'll be training and I couldn't be any happier about that. Dave took me outside and into the store. When we got in, we saw a chipette in her thirties. She had the same color fur as me, but let her hair out and had green eyes. We walked up to her.
Dave: "Hey, Cam, what have you been up to?"
Cam: "Nothing much, Dave, but I see that's about to change. I'm glad you brought me someone with good fashion."
My eyes glittered at that comment.
Dave: "That's why I brought her to you. If anyone can teach her how to use camouflage and a knife the best, it's you."
Cam: "Especially seeing how you're wearing that."
Me: "Yeah, I know, right. I mean, it's so dull."
Cam: "And nothing matches in a deep sense."
Dave: "I get it. I have terrible fashion."
Me: "You might as well leave before we start again, Dave."
Dave: "Okay."
Dave left and we started talking again.
Cam: "So far, I think you're going to be my favorite student yet. By the way, come with me."
I liked the last comment and walked with her. We went to the wall and looked around.
Cam: "Brittany, I want you to stick your knife into his wall over here."
I did what she said and the wall opened up.
Cam: "This is where we'll get started."
Jeanette's POV
Dave came back and drove us to a museum and brought me in. We walked over to the Chinese section and went up to a bald chipmunk. He was only bald on his head though and he looked a lot like Alvin and Simon put together, but not with the glasses.
Dave: "Hey, Staff."
Staff: "Nice to see you again, Dave. And I assume this is Jeanette."
Me: "Yes."
Staff: "I believe that this will be a great mentorship."
I smiled widely and walked with him to a door. When we went in, we saw a secret opening and went through. Through the opening, there was a Chinese dojo style training area.
Staff: "This is where I will be teaching you how to master the art of the bow staff.
I nodded and we began.
Eleanor's POV
As the last of us, Dave drove me to a revolutionary war style classy restaurant. We went inside and into the kitchen. We walked up to a male chipmunk. He reminded me of Simon, but without glasses and a broader chest.
Dave: "Hi, Scrape."
Scrape: "Hi, Dave. Nice to see ya again. And this must be the little chipette you told me to train."
I nodded and we went into the back. He pulled a lever and a secret passageway came.
Scrape: "This is where I'll train you, Eleanor."
We went inside and saw a gigantic shooting range.
Thanks for reading, guys. I have to say this is more fun that my Pirates of the Caribbean Chipmunks story. Anyway, the mentor's names are based off of their weapons. And yes, Cameron(or Cam) is a girl name. There is a girl named Cameron in my history class. Cam stands for Camouflage. Anyway, thanks for reading and reviewing and keep on doing that.
