Chapter Five: Training
It has been fifteen nano days since I arrived on Mobius. I've learned so much about my mission, I think me and Nika are ready. I spent most of my days out in the fields playing with Nika. We became the best of friends. But today we got an update that the chao scientists had finished what they called a chaos morpher. Basically it is the thing that is supposed to combine me and Nika into a mobian. Speaking of Nika, she's changed quite a bit since the day we met. Her purple tints have spread to her whole body, and her once purple tints are now a dark blue. Her dot is yellow. She has also gained some special abilities that will no doubt be useful later. She has developed chaos sense which allows her to sense the chaos emeralds and the chaos energy in living beings. She is a water chao so she is very adept in water, along with having some hydrokenesis abilities. I was told chao's age very fast, and it's true. According to Swift, the dark blue chao with tennis shoes, Nika is about ten years old. It almost seems like she is someone I'm raising. I called to Nika
"Nika! It's time to test the morpher!"
"Ok, I'm coming Terry!" she ran over to me and I carried her over to H.Q. the boulder opened up for us as we strolled in. Swift was waiting for us
"Hello girls!" he said cheerfully "are you ready?" he asked
"Totally!" Nika squealed. I nodded to assure him as well. He led us down a corridor and down a stairwell to the chao lab. Before we used the morpher, I had one question for Swift
"Hey Swift, if this threat is so urgent, why haven't we seen any attacks?" he nodded
"It is because of this. when they first arrived, they gave us a choice, pack up and leave or make the first move, of which we did neither, so they started counting down to their attack, which is in another three or four days." I said I understood. Swift took us over to a scientist chao and introduced us
"Girls, this is Miles, our head chao scientist. Miles this is Terry and Nika, our first test subjects." me and Nika waved to Miles and he waved back.
"Hello girls! Today we are going to see about the chaos morpher. I will be instructing you how it works and monitoring your progress." he led us over to a glass case with a thing that kind of looked like a swatch. Miles took the thing out of the case and led us through a door and into a totally bare room. "Girls, what I hold in my hands is a chaos morpher, it uses the chaos energy from both candidates to create a mobian. this is what you do, Terry, you put the morpher on your wrist and after doing so press the silver button to the right then press the big center button on the top when I give the signal. I will leave one of the chaos emeralds in the room so you can recharge the morpher's battery."
"Gotcha! You up to speed Nika?"
"I'm all set Terry!" she said. At that, Swift and Miles left the room and went into another with a window to observe. I waited... and Miles nodded, signaling me. Then I pressed the silver button, waited, and then pressed the center button. "Chaos Soul: Dive Deep!" I said automatically as the change began. A light engulfed me and Nika and we started floating as her light flew toward mine. It was so bright I couldn't see anything, but I felt an intense warmth go through my whole body. The light began to dim as we were set down on the ground.
'Wow' I heard Nika say. Looked around to find her, but she had completely vanished from the room.
"Nika where are you?" I called
'Right here!' she said again. Then I realized...her voice was coming from inside my head! I thought
"Nika, do you know what I'm thinking?"
'You're thinking that we're sharing a mind and body right now?'
"Yup and that proves it." I...uh... I mean we walked over to the window and saw the most amazing thing. We did look like a mobian! We had Shadow-like quills, our fur was the same shade as Nika, and we had blue eyes and a peach snout. We were wearing a blue sleeveless top, blue fingerless gloves, jeans and dark blue shoes. We looked around and found the emerald that Miles had left for us. We picked it up and Miles said over the P.A. system
"What a success! Let's go to the field to test your abilities." we headed out of H.Q. and out into the field. Miles had brought his clipboard with him. "We can start with a simple test. How about jump height?" we nodded and got ready to jump. Miles gave the signal and we sprung into the air. He recorded the height and the went to the next test, endurance. There was a treadmill of some kind set up. We ran and ran for two hours straight! The test after that was the elemental test. Miles stated "since your chao Nika is a swim chao, lets start with some swimming exercises." we went to a nearby lake and jumped in. the water was so lovely, and so warm from the suns rays, we felt as though we were floating. I (which is what I will be saying from now on because saying we all the time is kind of creepy!)Looked back at Miles by the shore, and for some reason he had an astonished look on his face.
"What is wrong, Miles?" I asked
"w-w-well look around you." he stuttered. I did as he said.
'Wow' said Nika. And wow was right. There were drops of water from the lake levitating around me.
"This must be an amplified version of your hydrokenesis." I said to Nika. I swam back to shore to test out my theory. I sat on the bank and focused on the water, the feel, the way we loved it so much. I could feel Nika focusing, too. I made an upward motion with my hands and some of the water near me followed. That just made Miles look more astonished. I smiled at him and asked
"Is this the help you're looking for?"
"Exactly."
