Nine POV-

How the hell did she beat me?

ME?

Marina POV-

I can still feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins. I can't believe that I did it. I actually beat Nine who was the strongest Loric. But now I guess it's me. I am NOT the weak one anymore. And I never will be again.

After training we all decided to have a meeting. Once we all gathered in the living room John suggested that we should have a list of all our priorities. Eight suggested we find Six's chest and immediately I saw Six's face brighten and I smiled.

Nine suggested that we train more. John wrote both of those things down. I suggested that we should start taking out Mog bases slowly though. John smiled good idea Marina. He wrote that down too. We should work on training Ella more Six piped in. Yes John wrote that down too.

I'll get started on that Nine said haughtily.

Actually… John said.

Actually what? Nine said his voice level.

John said slowly I was thinking Marina should maybe do it.

Everybody's eyes darted back and forth between Nine and I to see his reaction. Fine Nine said his voice showing no emotion at all. There was a pregnant silence then John finally said meeting adjourned.

I walked back to my room that I was sharing with Six and Ella. Before I could even shut the door Six said so how did it feel to beat Nine? Six it was just training. Besides you've beat Nine before too. Yeah only once and it took me weeks of practicing. You did it on your first try. I bet it felt good once you finally beat him so now he won't ever talk about how no one can beat him again. I couldn't help but smile at this. As soon as I hit the pillow I let my sleep overcome me.
