A/N: -singing- Oh, I'm a goofy goober, yeah. You're a goofy goober, yeah. We're all goofy goobers, yeah. -punches head- UGH! I can't get that song out of my head!
Anyhoo, I'm going to continue the story voting for another few days. So far I have a tie, so if someone doesn't vote on one that breaks the tie, I'm just going to randomly choose a story.
In this chapter, it's their final tests! I'm only going to do Gingka's because the test procedures are the same for all of them. They've also got their regular clothes on, because Taki and Ellie and Luna started training them with their normal clothes on.
And now, on with the story! Goofy, goofy, goober, goobers, yeah!
The next day after Kyoya and Benkei left was their final test day. The procedure was that they had to run through the obstacle course in under five minutes, then punch a punching bag until it flies off the rope in under ten minutes. Then in the afternoon, Cherry would quiz them on gadgets by having them tell her what a gadget was and what it did. She had been teaching them about gadgets for the past week or so.
They would take the physical test by themselves, and also the gadget test. If they received good marks, they would complete their training and become official agents.
Gingka went first. He said to everyone else waiting outside, "Wish me luck!" and walked into the training room.
Taki and Ellie had already set everything up, along with a punching bag in the corner.
"Okay, Gingka," Taki began. "You know the procedure. Complete the obstacle course in five minutes or less, then punch the punching bag until it flies off the rope in under ten. Then in the afternoon, Cherry will quiz you on gadgets and what they do."
"During this part of the test, there are things set up that stand in your way," Ellie continued. "You're going to have to either dodge them or get them out of your way while running the obstacle course."
Ellie pressed a button, then said to Gingka as he walked over to the starting line, "Good luck!"
Gingka took a deep breath, said, "Start," and began to run down the track.
When he got to the climbing wall, he began to swiftly climb up it.
Suddenly, a spinning blade popped out of one side and began to move towards his legs. Gingka yelped.
"Don't worry about it!" Taki yelled from the bench. "We made a fake one. That just looks like it's sharp!"
Gingka pulled his legs up so the blade passed right underneath them, and continued climbing. When he got to the top, he flipped off to the ground, took a moment to regain his composure, and started running again.
A dummy dressed like a thug popped out of the floor, but he punched it away and continued running.
When he reached the pool, he immediately jumped in and began to swim. Three poles rose out of the water about two feet away from each other, and he swam around them.
When he got to the other end, he clambered out, and ran to the monkey bars, punching a couple thug-dummies along the way.
He jumped, grabbed onto the first bar, and began making his way to the other side.
Taki and Ellie began to hurl rubber balls the size of golf balls at him. Not even pausing for a second, Gingka either dodged them or kicked them away.
Just then, a rubber ball came speeding towards him and hit him square in the nose.
Ellie triumphantly fist-bumped Taki.
Stunned by the direct hit, Gingka paused for a second, then shook his head and continued moving.
Finally, he reached the end of the monkey bars, let go of them, and began to run very fast towards the end. One final dummy rose out of the floor to block his way, but he punched it away and skidded to a stop right in front of Taki and Ellie.
Ellie stopped the clock, and whopped in delight.
"Four minutes and thirty seconds!" she said with glee, showing Taki and Gingka her pink watch.
Gingka shook some water out of his hair, then punched the air yelling, "Awesome!"
After lunch, Gingka went downstairs a couple floors to Lab 205, where Cherry was waiting for him.
Cherry was sitting on a stool with a box near her on the table, looking at something through a microscope. Gingka walked up, and tapped her on the shoulder.
She jumped, then looked up.
"Oh, sorry," she apologized. "I was analyzing a fingerprint-sample. So, are we ready to begin?"
"Yep."
Gingka sat on a stool across from her as Cherry slid the microscope away and pulled the box towards them.
"Okay," the twelve-year-old began. "You will have five minutes to tell me the names of everything in this box and what they do. If you fail, you will still pass and get another chance next week, but until then you will be a temporary trainee. If you pass, you become a full agent. Good luck."
Cherry started the clock on her orange watch.
Then she reached into the box, and pulled out a wristwatch (It looks like Danger D'amo's watch from Spy Kids 4). She held it up for him to see.
"That is a watch-transporter," Gingka said immediately. "It allows you to teleport distances up to one mile away or less."
"Good."
She put the watch aside, and pulled out a pack of white sticks of gum.
"Static-shock gum. It can be used to either shock your opponents which gives you time to escape, or it can be used to prank someone. The strength of the shock depends on what color the gum is."
"Good."
The young scientist pulled out matching wrist and ankle bracelets.
"Karate bracelets. Usually found on a female spy, and can control your movements, thereby turning you into a karate master."
A bag of pennies.
"Penny bugs. They have nano-technology and can be planted anywhere to be used as listening devices.
A bag of marbles.
"Nanobombs. Also has nano-technology and despite their small exterior they have big explosions."
A light brown belt identical to the one Luna wore every day.
"Arsenal belt. It has small compartments that hide nanobombs, lock picks, static-shock gum, and other things. Also contains a small dart gun, but that's only used in emergencies."
Cherry stopped the clock. She looked at it. Her eyebrows disappeared under her orange bangs.
"Wow. Five minutes exactly, not a second early or later. Impressive!"
She put the watch back on her wrist, then reached under the table.
"Congratulations, Gingka," she said happily. "You have passed your final test, and you are now an official member of the Teenage Spy Agency."
From under the desk, Cherry pulled out a certificate, a badge like Taki's, Ellie's, and Luna's, and also a pen.
Gingka punched the air and whooped.
"Awesome! This is so cool!" he said excitedly.
Cherry passed the certificate over to him, asking, "There's just one part you have to fill out."
Gingka looked at the certificate.
Congratulations, Gingka Hagane!
You are now an official member of the Teenage Spy Agency.
Good luck, Agent _
"What's the line for?" Gingka asked.
"It's for your agent name," Cherry informed him. "It has to be something related to you. For example, Taki's is Agent Waterfall because that's what her name means in English. Ellie's is Agent Roosevelt because she's a big fan if Eleanor Roosevelt and that's who she's named after. Luna's is Agent Midnight because of her name."
Thinking hard, Gingka tried to think of an agent name. Then, his eyes lit up, and he uncapped the pen.
Then he wrote his new name on the line.
Steel
Cherry looked at the name, then at him. She smiled, revealing orange braces.
"Well then," she said as they shook hands. "I am proud to be in your presence, Agent Steel."
Just to clarify, Steel in Japanese is Hagane. Cool, huh?
I was originally going to have him be Agent Pegasus, but I decided not to cause then it would be too obvious.
Here's what the agent names of the gang are, since you guys won't be reading about their final test:
Gingka: Agent Steel
Kenta: Agent Flame
Madoka: Agent Heart
Hikaru: Agent Aqua
Yuki: Agent Galaxy (since you know, Yuki likes astronomy)
Tsubasa: Agent Wing
Here's what Kyoya and Benkei were going to be before I decided to kick 'em out:
Kyoya: Agent Lion
Benkei: Agent Bull
And that's all for now.
That's all folks! -Looney Tunes ending plays-
