Chapter 6
The next day Mark raced to Thunder Tower on his bike.
As soon as he got off his bike he heard yelling coming from inside followed by electricity.
"Give it more power."
Mark ran inside to find Ace standing beside Emily who was on her knees panting.
"Hey kid." Sparx said as she walked over to him.
"What is Ace doing?"
"Training Emily to get her power level up." Sparx said. "He really wants her to be a strong Lightning Knight."
"He shouldn't be pushing her so hard. How long have they been doing this?"
Sparx shrugged. "About 5 hours."
Mark was surprised. "5 hours."
Sparx nodded. "Ace is trying to push Emily. He doesn't want her to give up."
"Even so Ace shouldn't be pushing her so quickly. She just recovered."
"Stand up Emily and try again." Ace said. "Lightning Knights never give up."
"I'm not giving up." Emily said through her pants.
"Then stand."
"Can't I just have a rest?"
"No resting. You asked me to train you and that's what I'm doing. Stand up."
Emily struggled to get to her feet.
She wobbled and fell to her knees again.
"Come on Emily. Get to your feet."
"I…. can't."
"You asked me to train you to get you stronger. This is the only way. Now stand."
Mark ran over to Emily's side. "That's enough Ace. She needs to rest."
"She can rest when Lord Fear is defeated and back in the 6th dimension."
"She's not like you Ace."
"She isn't like you as well."
"Stop fighting." Emily said. "Ace Mark is right. Just give me a break then we can get right back to training."
Ace sighed. "Fine."
"Let me help you." Mark said as he helped Emily to her feet and brought her over to the couch.
"Thank you Mark."
"No problem."
"No really. Thank you. Ace and Sparx told me how you freed me." She put her head in her hands. "I feel like a useless weakling."
"Is that why you asked Ace to train you?"
Emily looked to him and nodded. "It's either that or get more pieces of the Amulet to become stronger." She looked to the piece of the Amulet that was hiding underneath his shirt.
Mark took the piece out from underneath his shirt and looked at it then to Emily. "Do you want it?"
Emily looked to the Amulet piece nervously. "I'm not sure. I can feel its power but I don't know if I want it with my pieces."
"You don't have to if you don't want to."
Emily shook her head. "We should ask Ace and Sparx if they think it's a good idea."
Mark turned to them. "Do you?"
Ace nodded without hesitation. "If we are to defeat Lord Fear then we need all the help we can get. Emily is a Lightning Knight as we need her to be strong."
"But Ace what about Random Virus?" Sparx asked.
"I really don't know if he is on our side anymore."
Mark turned back to Emily and held his piece out to her.
Emily sighed and nodded. "Okay. Give me the piece."
Mark handed over his piece to Emily.
Emily took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
A second later Emily's pieces of the Amulet came out.
The piece that she had held went to join hers.
The pieces disappeared as she opened her eyes.
"How do you feel?" Mark asked.
"A little stronger." She said as she stood and put her hands in the air.
Mark jumped out of the way as Emily's body suddenly lit up with electricity.
"Even I can't do that." Ace said with surprise.
Emily giggled as the electricity slowly disappeared.
"What else can you do?" Sparx asked.
Emily shrugged. "I'm not sure."
"Can you fly?" Ace asked.
Emily widened her eyes. "Fly? No. I don't think so."
Ace smiled. "How do you know if you haven't tried." He grabbed her as he lifted off the ground.
