A/N:Hey guys welcome back. I decided that this should be one of those pats in the story that dosen't have any talking but mostly action. I hope you enjoy. Leave a comment if you want at the end.

Ch. 17 Her Training begins.

A few days have passed since Alex first agreed to Argost's training. Her injuries were healed and she was ready for his teachings. Yet she couldn't help but think about Zak and what he and his family were doing right now. Mean while with the Saturdays, they were busy trying to fix the scientists jet. It's been really hard to repair because of what Alex did to it, and it was even harder because they didn't have all the tools they need to fix it. But they improvised with what they had. So far it's about halfway done; all they needed to do was fix the engine.

That was the real hard part; it was really difficult to repair because of the teeth marks that Alex left in it during the fight. They all got to work on it, but Zak didn't do all that much, he was still very depressed about Alex. It's been days since they last saw each other and he couldn't think about anything else but her.

Back to Alex, she was getting ready for Argost's training by putting on a special suit of armor that was provided. When she was ready, she walked down the stairs to find Argost and Munya waiting patiently for her. Argost then explained that her training would begin with her learning that she has other powers besides her elemental ones.

She was left outside behind Argost's mansion; ready for whatever he would throw at her. Suddenly she felt vibrations in the earth as if something was coming. Then out of the ground came a giant maze. She wondered on what kind of power would help her with this challenge. When she stepped inside the way out closed behind her, she was trapped inside a maze; she knew that the only way out was to use her powers.

Yet she tried to find a way out without the use of her power. But no matter how she tried she could not find a way out, every way she went was either a dead end or take her in circles. Soon she had an idea, but didn't know if would work. She sat on the ground and sat in a meditated state.

She concentrated on the path in front of her. Then she suddenly felt a jolt of energy hit her, soon she saw a vision of the path traveling so fast, and at the end she saw the exit of the maze. When the vision was over she followed that path that she saw. It led her to the exit! When she was out the maze sank back down into the ground. She had completed her first challenge. Argost was impressed with how she picked up this skill sooner than he expected, but he knew that not all of them would come so easily.

The second challenge was a duel between Alex and one of Argost's cryptid's. Alex was left alone once more inside an arena. The cage in front of her was being bagged on and she could hear growling noises from whatever was inside the cage. The cage gate lifted and what jumped out was an Amarok. It let out a might howl and turned its attention back to Alex. It snarled and growling and its mouth was drooling.

It looked at Alex the way a hungry man looks at a steak. Argost was on the sidelines watching in anticipation. When the battle started he watched and was very entertained with them as they went at each other's throats. It was a fierce battle, and then Alex remembered that she has to find out how to use one of her powers to beat the Amarok. She started to concentrate on the beast as she cleared her mind. Suddenly another blot of energy hit, she saw the Amarok and herself fighting, only she saw what the Amarok was going to do before he did it.

She saw that it planned to charge at her and pin her to the ground, where he could finish her off. Instead she avoided the attack by jumping over the Amarok as it charged at her.

Then she pinned it to the ground instead. (Talk about ironic.) That last attack she deled to it knocked it unconscious. She had completed her second part of the training. Argost was impressed yet again on how she picked up this much quicker than he expected, but her training was far from over now. Mean while back with the Saturdays and the scientists they had just finished repairing the jet, for now they discussed about how they were going to rescue Alex. Of course Zak jumped into this conversation; rescuing Alex was the one and only thing on his mind.
