Chapter Three - Training Battle
Odd and the others were walking towards the training facility when a blonde, red reploid female appeared in front of them. She had green eyes and her armor seemed like it wasn't suit for combat.
"Hello Zero. Who are these four? I haven't seen them before," she stated. Her voice was soft and easy to listen to.
Zero responded, "Alia, just the girl I was looking for. Listen, Axl here wants to spar with…um…Odd was it? They'd like to use the training room."
Alia sighed and shook her head. "And to think, for a moment there I actually thought we could all sit down and have a pleasant conversation together. Fine, follow me." She turned around and started walking.
"Hey, she's pretty cute," Odd whispered to Ulrich. He did as he was told and followed her.
Ulrich made a smirk. "Hey Odd! You're tail's wagging!" Odd stopped in his tracks and blushed a dark red. Alia looked over at him. She giggled and kept walking.
Odd turned back to Ulrich and shouted, "Gee thanks a lot pal!"
*********
Axl and Odd were now in the training room. Currently, it looked very similar to the room they were in before. Bland and metallic. However, this was a wide, circular room with a glass window going all around it at the top.
"Alia, room 532-918 please. Type B," Axl said. Alia was looking down at them from the windowed area. She started typing on the computer located in front of her. "Room initiated."
When she said these words, the room changed. Destroyed buildings appeared, dead reploids were thrown about, the ground had huge cracks in it. Odd started screaming, "Whoa whoa whoa! What's going on here!?"
Axl just chuckled. A computer's voice spoke saying, "Begin simulated combat area in 3, 2, 1," Then a buzzer went off and Axl starting shooting his bullets at Odd. Odd shouted and rolled behind a few pieces of fallen building. He then stood back up and shouted "Laser Arrow!" and small, golden arrows infused with power shot out towards Axl. Axl leaped into the air and kept firing at him. His hover jets, placed at his ankles, spat out fire to keep him in the air. Odd began running in the opposite direction of his opponent and jumped over many pieces of rubble and the many cracks in the ground. Axl's jets soon gave way and he was on the ground again. He used his jets yet again to propel himself forwards, chasing his opponent.
"That's Axl for ya, always shooting like crazy. Alia, could you find Layer? I'd like to spar with Ulrich in the other training room."
Alia answered, without looking away from the match, "Actually, I think she's already in that area. If not, use the computer there to contact her."
Zero nodded and motioned for Ulrich to follow him. He did so, and they left for the other room.
Meanwhile, in the match, Odd and ran into a building that was barely standing. The steel beams were hanging out, the ceiling was ripped off so that you could see the red-ish afternoon sky, and the windows were shattered. He stood behind a wall, breathing heavily, trying to anticipate his enemy's next move. I've gotta catch him off guard! he thought. But how? He's too quick. Just then, bullets passed right by his head. He screamed and looked in front of him. Axl was standing on a floor above him, his gun pointed at him. He aimed his other gun at him and started firing. Odd ran as fast as he could, shooting laser arrows at him, but to no avail.
"Come on, can't you do more than just run?" Axl mocked. Odd his behind a beam and looked to Axl's left. He noticed it was the only beam holding up that part of the ceiling. He rolled away from the cover of the beam and shot a laser arrow that impacted the beam.
"Ha! You missed me!" Axl laughed. Odd smirked and shook a finger at him saying, "I don't think so hot shot." Axl turned to his right to see the beam falling on him, along with the rest of the ceiling it was holding up. The area disappeared and they were back at the bleak room. However, Axl was lying down on the ground. The computer said that combatant B, Odd, had won the match.
Axl got up and laughed. "You did good Odd. Nice aim, what with taking that beam out and all."
"Ah, no sweat. You had me on the ropes for a while there pal, but in the end, Odd the Magnificent won yet again!"
The two of the laughed and left the room, meeting up with Aelita and the others. X answered the question before it was asked, "They went to the other room to spar. We were going to go watch. Do you want to come?"
"Go see Zero get his blade handed to him? Definitely!" Axl answered. They started walking towards the other training room.
Back at the room however, Layer was in the same position Alia was in. Layer was a female reploid with long purple hair and white and orange body armor. She too was a computer navigator as well, but she specialized in the effects of other reploids. Zero and Ulrich were in the same dull room as Odd and Axl started in.
"So, where will we be duking it out huh?" Ulrich asked.
"Here," Zero replied. He pulled out his saber and dashed towards him, jets flaming, saber glowing. His saber was a long, green, blade of light. It was a very sophisticated weapon. Ulrich pulled his two sabers, simple katanas, out from the back of his clothing, were he kept his sheaths, and bloacked his saber. He made a spin kick, attempting to make his opponent fall, but instead, Zero leaped back and pointed his saber at him. Ulrich just smirked and ran after him, blades crossed and ready to strike. Zero sliced his blade diagonly. Ulrich brought a saber up to defend himself, then used his other saber to cut Zero. His chest was slightly cut, and small bits of electricity could be seen. He jumped over Ulrich, then jumped again in mid-air to put distance between the two of them.
"Whoa! Wait a minute, how's that even possible?" Ulrich demanded.
"Humans aren't as skilled at defying nature as reploids. Maybe that's 'cuz humans are natural and reploids aren't. That's just a guess." Zero then changed his saber into a long and glaive. This spear like weapon was long enough so that he didn't have to get to close to attack his enemy.
At that time, Yumi and the others had arrived to watch the fight. "Alright Ulrich! Looks like you made a cut!" Odd joked. "Now just get back to action!"
Zero charged in, thrusting his spear at Ulrich's stomach. Ulrich used both his blades to block, but his body was slammed into the wall. Zero then turned his weapon so that it's hilt slammed into his body, and sent him flying off to the left. Ulrich lay on the ground, and Zero put his weapon away.
"Oh no! Ulrich are you alright!?" Yumi cried. Zero walked over to Ulrich and held his hand out to him.
"Good match Ulrich. You're one of the few to actually put up a fight." Ulrich looked up at him and smiled. He took his hand and stood. They walked out of the room together, and met with the others.
"Ulrich are you alright?" Yumi asked.
"Yea Yumi, I'm fine. What about you Zero? You need that scratch patched up?"
"Hmph. Please, I've had worse injuries," he joked.
"Alright," X began, "That's enough action for one day. Why don't we call it a day?"
Sirens started going off and a loud computer sound saying "WARNING! WARNING!" filled the room.
"Guys, this is Pallete. Come to the command center, quickly!"
