Eclipse had the bright idea to awaken Zoey by sitting on her. In the process of awakening, Zoey had managed to grab her staff from the bedside and give him a good whack on the head.
"Hey!" he proceeded to talk but Zoey's brain wasn't in the comprehending mode. "It's 5:30 you said you'd train with me today." As she caught the last bit she proceeded to stare at him. Eclipse had his pouty face on.
"Kay...get off." She said sucking up her discomfort of being awake at this hour. After all in her world, they'd have to be awake at 4 a.m. at boot camp. Zoey brushed her hair and teeth in the bathroom; she changed into her third class uniform and strapped her staff on her back before following Eclipse down the hallway. By the time the elevator hit the fourth floor Zoey was wide awake. Only Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth were in the cafeteria. Random assortments of breakfast food laid out on the buffets'.
"You know newbie's don't have to be up this early." Genesis stated noticing the two come into the room. Zoey pointed at Eclipse.
"Eclipse felt like getting a head start on training today, Sir." Zoey stated before walking across the room and getting herself an apple.
"I just feel like there's no time that should be wastes sir."
"I'm glad you think so. I hope you don't plan on causing any more trouble though."
"Sorry Sir. It hadn't been my intent.
"It's okay just don't let it happen again."
"I think Xander pretty much made sure it wouldn't." Angeal chimed in.
"Hm?" Sephiroth gave Angeal a questioning look.
"A fight erupted in the newbie dorm. Xander came out of no where and handled it for us." Angeal explained briefly.
"Your going to want to eat more then that." Eclipse stated as he noted Zoey's pitiful apple.
"Good to know." was the only nice enough words Zoey's mind could say. Zoey went and sat at the same table they did the other nigh, a fair distance away from the firsts. Eclipse had made himself a plate of food and sat across from her again. It seemed like he was too hungry to talk today. He finished his plate the same time Zoey finished her apple. She placed her apple core on his plate for him to throw away as she made her way over to the elevator.
"We shall be overseeing your training session today." Sephiroth said as the group of boys piled into the elevator after her. Zoey almost grimaced but realized it was better they oversee it than interfere or fight against them. For the sake of getting to know what level Eclipse was she programmed the room for the first level area.
"Awe come on how weak do you think I am?" he complained as he saw a goblin. He held his sword up, and the way he did so caused Zoey to sigh.
"Your not too experienced by the looks of it." She watched him give the goblin five blows before it faded away. "You do realize your not even holding the sword right, right?" Zoey asked crossing her arms.
"Huh?!" he asked looking a little surprised. She used her staff to give him one quick whack on his hands. "Oww!" he waved his hands in the air.
"When holding a sword you do not have both your hands side by side touching each other. Spread them apart a little and you'll have a better grip and stronger swing." Zoey explained.
"Just how many weapons do you know how to use anyways?" he asked while picking up his sword.
"Staff, twin blade, sword, whip, scythe…" She trailed off as he held the sword at the top and bottom of the hilt. She whacked her staff in-between his hands and the sword dropped once more. "You'll clearly get it right this time." Zoey said in response to the look she was getting.
"Like that?" he asked.
Yes. Now go kill that Goblin." Zoey commanded him. Eclipse ran off after a Goblin. He attacked it and in one fatal swing he killed it. She took her time walking over to him. Eclipse rubbed the back of his head.
"Your sister would be proud." Zoey's comment made his awkwardness be replaced with happiness. He laughed.
"Yes I'm so sure, because its soo hard to kill a measly Goblin." He finished laughing. "Does the way you hold your weapon really affect the quickness of the kill like that always?"
:No." Zoey said almost too quickly. "You were mad at me that helped the half of it. Now let's clear the area."
"Huh? Your fighting too?"
"Heh Goblin hunting is just a great stress reliever. Person with the most kills wins!" Zoey said challenging him for once. Eclipse erupted with laughter.
"As if it matters in a level one field!" Zoey smiled and turned away.
"Doesn't matter if it's too easy or too hard. You should always do your best. That is the lesson for today." It hadn't taken them too long before the area was cleared. By the time they had made it to the control room the firsts were no longer there. Zoey assumed that was a good thing. "Where is the data room?" She asked Eclipse on a whim.
"It's the entire 30th floor. Why?"
"Got some stuff to look up. Have fun." She said waving to Eclipse and left the training control room. Zoey knew there was no curing stupid overnight, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't try. The data room, Zoey found, was quite the interesting place. Boxes were piled in the very back full of reports. The shelves were lined with what she figured thousands of books. Computers lined the outer walls and there were various tables and seating arrangements. To Zoey's dismay nothing in the entire place, was written in English. There wasn't a single word in the place that she could read.
Now this is where I stopped after that one day when I wrote all the other chapters as well. I don't believe this has been anything but a dull tone, but I was doing my best not to make it a crack fic, so let me know what you think. I have various other scenes planned out in my head but I won't be writing again until I'm able to do so all day. So if you are expecting an update then check back at the beginning of next week.
