Another New chapter is here guys! Please remember to review on what you think!
Chapter 11 Five
Who does she think she is? She thinks I'm lucky? I've been stuck in these sewers all my life never getting to talk to anyone. I run to my room at the end of a large hall not focusing on how hot my hands have felt recently. I see my room door. It looks like a vertical submarine hatch. TK once joked that it was bomb proof as he was installing it. This was before he lost the use of his legs. I walk into my room hating the feeling of tears in my eyes and scolding myself for caring about what Six says. I grab my Loric dagger from my chest and start shadowboxing with it across my room.
I continue to do this for hours trying to forget about everything and just focus on my training. Jab, cross, swipe, jump to the left and hit my attacker in the kneecap followed by a sweep. Finally stab to the chest finishing them off. I'm so engrossed in practising I don't hear a knocking at my door until it gets faster and more annoying. I storm to my door and unlock the deadbolts on it and swing it open. I see Nine standing there smiling with glee.
"What do you want?" I say annoyed at him being so happy.
"I wanted to see how you were. You looked pretty upset when you ran off" He says.
"Well I wasn't." As I say this I slam the door but Nine puts out his hand and grabs it. I try to push it shut with all my might but he's not letting it go. I finally give up when I hear the hinges start to creak.
"How?"
"Super strength. It's one of my legacies"
"Figures. The clumsiest one of the Garde gets super strength"
"Whatever" as he says this he walks into my room.
"Did I say you could come in here Bambi?"
"No but I figure you ran away when we went to see our chimera crying so you need someone to talk to."
"I don't talk. You want to talk to me put these on" I throw him a pair of boxing gloves and he puts them on. I put mine on too and we start circling each other. I throw a front kick to his stomach followed by a jab to his face then a sweep flooring him.
"You think you can beat me? I've spent most of my life in these tunnels fighting." I say looking down at him. I can feel my hands getting hotter inside my gloves.
"Alright. No more kid stuff sweetheart." He immediately swings his leg across the floor trying to trip me up but I jump it. Before I can react he picks himself up and tries to punch me in face but I block using all the training TK has taught me over the years and backflip out of his punching distance. I then use my telekinesis and flip him up to the ceiling.
"Clumsy move Bambi. I was expecting you to be harder to beat."
"Oh I am" With that he stands upside down and starts punching. This is harder to block and I soon realise I'm out of my depth. TK never taught me how to fight someone who's upside down. Nine looks at me softly and stops fighting. He jumps down from the ceiling and takes his gloves off.
"Hey we're not done."
"Yes we are. We both got some good punches in."
"Why did you come here? What did you think was going to happen?"
"I didn't think anything was going to happen. I just wanted to see if you were okay." He starts to walk across to my door.
"Oh. Um thanks I guess Nine." I say as I take off my gloves. Nine suddenly opens his eyes wide.
"What?" I look at my hands and see my hands projecting light onto the floor.
"Shit! What the hell is this?"
"It must be a legacy. Quick let's get you to TK."
We jog down the corridor to the main hall. Finally another legacy, it's a shame it involves my hands glowing though. I start to feel faint as I run and before I know it I've fallen to the ground passed out.
"When do you think she's going to wake up TK?" I hear Zero say. I keep my eyes shut and I feel semi-conscious.
"Hopefully soon. She's been asleep for eight hours."
"Still it's pretty cool she's got the same legacy as John. Right John.
"Yeah." I hear four say. He sounds lost in thought.
"So what legacy is it?" I say opening my eyes looking around at everybody.
"Morning sunshine" I look over and see it was Nine who said that.
"My god Bambi. Do you ever leave me alone?" I say
"He really doesn't. He spent the whole night in here." TK says matter of factly. Nine blushes slightly and I smile. I try to get up from TK's workbench and fall around dizzy. Zero grabs my waist and tries to steady me. I see my hands have gone out.
"So you have the same power as me then." I say to Four.
"Yeah. It's called lumen and it allows you to be burn proof" he says.
"Sweet." Just then I see the Mog squad walk in with some papers.
"TK we have Zero's muscle samples back" Brutus says.
"Whoa. You took samples of me?" Zero says looking slightly shocked
"You were passed out. We didn't think you would care." Adamus replies.
"And?" TK says.
"It's remarkable. He's much stronger than any Mogadorien should be."
"Well then let's take down two birds with one stone. You two it's time to test your powers" TK points at me and Zero as he says this. I see the other Loric walk into the main hall. As TK is taking us to a training room he invites them to watch us as well. Wonderful more people to watch me fail horribly. We enter one of our training rooms with all of the muscle equipment in. Zero walks over to the weights and asks:
"So you want me to pick up one of these?"
"Not quite. I want you to pick up this" As he says this he points to Nines car which we brought in after our escape from the Mog base. Zero walks over to it and takes a deep breath and then picks the car up over his head.
"Now Five try to aim your Lumen at him"
"What? I barely know how to turn it on" I say in protest.
"Try" TK replies. I point my hands at Zero and try to turn my Lumen on. After a minute I give up and say to TK:
"I don't know how to control it yet."
"Very well. John!" He shouts to Four. Four jogs over to us from the corner where everybody is still staring at Zero holding up the car.
"I want you to teach Five how to use her Lumen. You already have control over yours so you're in a better position to teach her than me. I want you two to start training ASAP"
"Um sure. Let's go Five." John says. And with those words my new training starts.
