It was a fine well morning in Neo-City as we heard towards the Dormitory Village, here we see Flash Sentry walking in the halls of their dorm with a smile on his face and despite having a creepy guy as a roommate, he is having a good time.

Flash then turns right in one corner only to bump into someone making them both falling to the floor, "Ow..." he muttered before noticing Charlotte Dunois rubbing her back from the fall, "Oh! Sorry about." he apologized while offering her a hand.

"Don't be." Charlotte reassured accepting his hand, "It was an accident." she pointed out as Flash helps her up.

The two then looked at each in awkward silence before Flash spoke, "Well.. I guess I'll see you in training session." he said rubbing the back of his head.

"Uh... okay..." Charlotte replied before walking off.

With Charlotte gone from his sights, the blue-haired guitar player let out a sigh before smiling, "Well... that awkwardness reminded of the times I had with Twilight." he chuckled.

Flash continues to trek forward when he came across Sunset Shimmer, "Oh? Hey there, Flash." the bacon-haired girl greeted.

"Oh... h-hey, Sunset." Flash greeted back.

"Are you heading out for breakfast?'' Sunset asked.

"Y-Y-Y-Y-Yeah... I-I-I am..." Flash stuttered in reply.

Sunset took notice the nervousness in his voice, "Flash? Are you okay?'' she asked in concern.

Flash took a deep breath and gathered all the courage he had before speaking, "Sunset... there's something I want to talk to you about for a long time..." he claimed.

Sunset raised an eyebrow before she realized what he's talking about, "Flash... is this about what happened back in the Battle of the Bands?" she asked, "Look... you were mind-controlled back then... what you did before is out of your control." she pointed out.

"I know..." Flash confirmed, "... but still... the harsh words I said about you, the way I made Twilight cry... those things still haunts me to this day... there are even times, I believe that the reason you girls never talk to me anymore is because you haven't forgiven me for what I did." Flash stated with a downcast look.

Sunset looks at him in shock, "Flash... look..." she spoke, "We were never mad at you, we never hated you for what happened! Cause we know that it's not your fault, so please Flash, don't let this get into you, please don't feel guilty for something you didn't meant to do. You're a good guy Flash and it pains us to see or think of you like this. Flash, the only things that's keeping you from going is the guilt inside of you, if you don't released the guilt then you'll never move on!" Sunset stated.

Flash was stunned by her words before small smile forms on his face, "Thanks Sunset... I really need to hear that." he admitted.

Sunset smiled back, "Happy to help.'' she replied, "So, feeling good?" she asked.

Flash took a deep breath, "Yeah... upon hearing those words, I think I can finally move on.'' he said, "Both on life and my love for Twilight." he added.

"Are you getting over Twilight?" Sunset asked, "You know... the princess.'' she clarified.

"I thinks it's the right thing to do, I mean she's a princess and I'm just a simple guitar player, I don't think a relationship would work between us, I think it's better if we just stayed as friends." Flash explained in determination.

Sunset giggled, "I'm happy for you Flash... I hope everything goes well for you there." she said.

"Thank Sunset." Flash replied.

"So, wanna join me and the girls for breakfast?" Sunset offered.

Flash nodded, "I would love that." he replied.

And with that, Flash and Sunset made their way to the breakfast while sharing a hearty laughter.

Later that day at the Training Facility, Flash arrives at the training area where he sees Sandalwood along with the other trainees, he also saw Charlotte in the far back talking to Laura Bodewig.

Flash then made his way towards everyone as the Scout arrived holding a clipboard, "Okay Losers! Listen up, today will be practicing your dodging skills! I know that you did this before but like I said, I'm going to train you over and over again until you perfected your dodging skills!" he explained.

"Kinda ironic for him to say that when he can't even dodge a falling wall or a swinging log at him." Dan Mandel whispered towards Chris Pearson.

"Any questions? No? Okay, let's get this started!" the Scout announced as he blows his whistle loudly.

And with that, the trainees began running in a course, one by one, where they had to dodge swinging logs, moving back and forth from different directions.

Dan, rather than dodging, opted to punch every log coming at him, "Mandel! While I'm happy you're putting your fists into good use but this training is about dodging!" the Scout pointed out.

"Shut up Monkeyface #2! I know what I'm doing!" Dan exclaimed with Chris following whom is not having a problem since Dan would punches all the logs.

Wesley Bryans then follows them as he successfully dodges every logs but as he was to reach the end, he noticed his shoelaces were untied prompting him to stop only to get hit with a log.

"Wesley! Are you okay?" Chris asked in concern.

"Momma black sheep... doesn't have a wool..." Wesley blabbered.

"I'm still surprised that you're alive." Dan scoffed.

Then Maya Sparrow runs through the course and uses her wings to glide while dodging the logs, "Good going, Sparrow! But next time, stop relying with your wings!" the Scout called out as Maya rolls her eyes in response.

Sandalwood ran through the course in ease while Trixie Lulamon, on the other hand, "Trixie don't know where to go!" the CHS magician shouted in panic as she runs around in circle avoiding every log coming to her.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her as the Scout looks at her with a smile, "Man... she's good in dodging that's for sure." he stated.

Flash took a deep breath as it was his turn to run, "All right! Let's do this!" he said in determination as he runs through the hazardous course.

"Go dude!" Sandalwood cheered for his buddy.

Kafuu smiled creepily as he watches, "My! He's doing good." he commented.

"Trixie really don't like his smile." Trixie whispered towards Elise Pearson.

Flash was doing good until he trips causing him kneel on the mat, "Dude! Watch out!" Sandalwood called out.

Flash turns right to see a log coming at him fast, in desperation, he sprinted forward only to realized that he did something that he never expect, he suddenly appeared at the end of the course, "W-what?" Flash gasped in shock.

"Dude! How did you do that?" Sandalwood asked in shock.

"Do what?" Flash asked back.

"Trixie saw a bright flash!" Trixie chimes in, "You were in the middle of the training course then suddenly you appeared here in front of us!" she exclaimed while waving her arms.

The Scout then approaches him, "That only means one thing... you just activated your Gift!" he pointed out.

"My Gift?" Flash repeated.

The Scout nodded, "Now I want to concentrate and run again through this course." he instructed.

Flash nodded as he took deep breath before running through the course again and this time, he saw it himself, he managed to pass the course without breaking a sweat, "Woah!" he said before doing it again, "This is incredible!" he said in joy as he began to run around the training area creating a blue blurred line, "Woohoo!" he yelled in joy.

"So his Gift is Super Speed! Man, that's cool!" Sandalwood praised.

"Trixie is impressed!" Trixie said with a smile.

The Scout chuckled, "Well... I'll call his Gift the Flash Step!" he declared.

"A perfect name for him." Chris said in agreement.

"Yeah... it sure does..." Dan said sarcastically while picking his nose.

Flash continues to run around, "I'm taking words from Rainbow Dash! This! Is! Awesome!" he cheered only to bump into someone stopping his merriment, "Ow! Sorry about that..." he apologized as he looks up to see that he bump into Charlotte again.

"Don't be... you're just having fun." Charlotte reassured with a smile.

Flash offers her a hand, "We got to stop bumping to each other like this." he said.

Charlotte giggled, "You're right." she said taking his hand as he pulls her up.

Meanwhile, we see Mario Martinez and the Major Richard Stronghold watching them from the entrance door, "Looks like everything is going good." Mario mused, "I'm glad that Flash Sentry has finally awakened his Gift." he stated with a smile.

The Major nodded, "Indeed." he replied with his rare low voice, "We shall continue to groom him to his utmost potential." he declared.

Bzzzttt...

"Man! That was a game!" Marcus "The Kane" McGee cheered while holding a cup of coffee. Marcus is currently wearing black t-shirt with red sleeves underneath, black pants and white tennis shoes.

It's after lunch and currently walking in the hallways, we see Marcus, Eddy Skipper McGee, Darren Cross and Chad Mordetzky, the four just came from the Gaming Room after another Halo Marathon which all of them lost.

"We're so close! We're so close in winning Marcus! But noooo... Ed and Trixie had to appear out of nowhere and got us!" Eddy complained in frustration. Eddy is currently wearing a white Sando shirt, blue short, black fingerless gloves and black shoes with his signature scarf around his shoulders.

"It was actually a good strategy but who knew those two turns out to be a good team in Halo Marathon." Darren commented.

"I swear in the next marathon, I'll be getting my revenge! I'll blow them till kingdom come!" Eddy declared.

"You sound like you're cousin Eddy." Chad pointed out with a grin.

"Well... I am his cousin." Eddy confirmed referring to Dan Mandel.

"I'm still in surprised that those two work so well! I heard that this is the first time Trixie participated in the Marathon." Marcus pointed out taking a sip of his coffee, "Come to think of it, Precious told me that Trixie has been hanging out in Ed's room for some time, she probably learns how to play Halo from there." he stated.

"I swear... that Trixie had something against me!" Eddy grumbled, "I mean, did she really had to shoot me on the groin!?" he complained.

Chad chuckled, "Actually that was really hilarious... I even heard Minna, of all people, screaming the word "Cockshot!"." he claimed.

"I heard that too." Darren said holding his laughter.

Eddy deadpanned, "You guys suck..." he said in annoyance.

Marcus then turns to Darren, "By the way, Erika wanted to have a word with you in her office.'' he said, "She wants to discuss about the stunt you pulled last night." he pointed out.

Last night, while walking in the staircase, Darren was accidentally pushed by the Major's daughter Karizza Stronghold while she was running away from Dan Gotanda, the Spy and the Pyro, Darren then fell down the stairs falling on top of a well-endowed girl accidentally groping her ample chest which resulted with him receiving a powerful slap on the face and Darren getting labeled as a pervert.

Darren groaned, "Ugh... I told you it was an accident! I never meant to squeeze that girl's soft melons!" he exclaimed.

Chad bursts out laughing, "Ahahahaha! Calling her chest a melons proves your a pervert!" he mused.

"No! I didn't mean what I said!" Darren shouted in defense, Eddy then placed a hand on his shoulder giving him a thumbs up, "What's up with the thumbs up? Dude! I'm not proud of what I did!" he retorted before sighing, "You know what... I'm going to Erika's office and clear things out." he muttered.

"Just don't do anything to her! You're already in thin ice in her eyes." Chad advised.

"Haha! Very funny." Darren replied sarcastically before walking off to another direction.

Chad chuckled, "Well! I should get going, I got a date with some hot chicks! See ya boys." he claimed before walking away towards their left, leaving the brothers alone.

Marcus took a sip of his cup, "Should we head to the training area?" he suggested.

Eddy cracked his back, "Might as well! I need to work on a few muscles." he replied.

At the training area, the place is currently filled with trainees and coaches, training or doing various things, Vaas Montenegro is seen cleaning his sword while Needles Kane is scooping up some ice cream. Charlotte, Laura and Kanzashi Sarashiki are talking at the bleachers and below them are Flash and Sandalwood watching Kafuu demonstrates a glimpse of his Gift. Nyaruto Nyazumaki along with Wesley, Precious Dazzle and Honne Nohotoke are doing a lap while being watch by the Scotsman, then SpongeBob SquarePants is seen lifting a stuff animal barbell much to Jacques Paulsen's disbelief. Dan and Chris are seen hanging out in front of a water dispenser while Gingka Hagane is seen talking to Ichika Orimura and Rei Kuroki. Maya is seen brushing her wings while Eddward Marion "Double D, Edd" Smith and Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke are talking to Joanna Dark and Anna Maymorie. The members of the New Age Avengers along with Trixie are seen hanging out by the bleachers.

Marcus and Eddy enters the place and we're about to approach their team when a voice stopped their tracks, "Stop right there!" a voice demanded.

The voice startled Marcus so much, it causes him to spill his coffee right to Eddy's face and more specifically... his eyes, "Aaaakk! My eyes! Coffee in my eyes! It burns!" Eddy shouted in panic while running around in circles before hitting a wall, knocking him out to sweet unconsciousness.

Marcus turns around to see a Sylvia van Hossen standing in front of him, "Oh hey Sylvia, what can I do for you?" he greeted which was followed by a question.

"Raya wants a word with you." Sylvia replied as Raya Amanda appears behind her.

"Sup! Gastank!" Raya greeted with a grin.

"Oh hey Raya... what's up?" Marcus greeted with a blank look, "And stop calling me Gastank!" he demanded in annoyance.

Raya walks towards him, hips swaying and heels clicking, she then grabs his shirt pulling him down close to her face, "Simple! I want a rematch." she demanded with a smirk.

Marcus rolled his eyes, "Raya... you know that we both lost in Halo Marathon right?" he pointed out.

"Yeah... but it was you and three-strands, who took me and Saber out of the game." Raya replied.

"Point taken. Welp! I'm not the type who backs out from a challenge, so you're on." Marcus replied back with a grin.

Raya smirked, "Good boy. But how about this, why don't we have a bet." she suggested.

Marcus raised an eyebrow, "I can't take your money." he said.

"What's wrong? Are you chicken?" Raya mocked.

Marcus then scoffed, "I've always found that an inappropriate slur." he said, "Chickens, are not by nature at all timid. In fact, years ago, Rolf's chicken got loose and chased me up to Ed's tree dome in front of my house." he stated.

"Chickens can't climb trees." Sylvia pointed out.

"Thank God." Marcus said much to Sylvia's amusement.

Raya giggles, "Okay! Okay! I think the chicken made you his bitch." she said earning a snort from Marcus, "But come on! Bet with me!" she pleaded.

Marcus sighed, "Okay. What stakes do you propose?" he asked.

Raya hummed, "Let's see... if you lose, you'll be my servant for an entire month and if I lose..." she says licking her lips, "... I'm yours for an entire month." she said.

"Raya!" Sylvia called out in shock.

Marcus blinks in surprise, "Okay... those stakes are too much... you had a wager." he replied offering a handshake which Raya gladly accepted.

"Marcus! Not you too!" Sylvia yelled in disbelief.

Raya smirked before taking a few steps backwards, "Well then... I'll see you in the next Halo Marathon Gastank and prepare to lose." she declared before turning around and walking away like a fashion model with her hips swaying.

Sylvia sighed before turning to Marcus, "Sorry about... Raya just doesn't like loosing." she apologized.

Marcus chuckled, "Don't worry." he reassured, "I'm used to her behavior and I gotta admit, she's a fun person to hangout, so I wouldn't mind being her slave but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let her win." he stated.

Sylvia chuckled, "I see." she mused.

"Saber! Let's go! We're heading to Rabbit House!" Raya called out.

"I'm coming." Sylvia replied before turning to Marcus, "Well then... I'll see you around Marcus." she said before following the small girl.

"See ya." Marcus replied before letting out a sigh, "I can't believe Raya is after me.'' he muttered in disbelief, "I still can't believe that she and Duncan broke up.'' he said.

It's been weeks since Raya and Duncan Rosenblatt broke-up because according to the two, their relationship wasn't working, so they decided to end their relationship but they remained good friends. And it seems both of them moves on very quickly as Raya is already flirting with someone new and that happens to be Marcus.

Eddy then got up, "Ugh... what happened?" he asked holding his head.

"You just got F & A." Marcus replied.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Eddy asked with a raised eyebrow.

Meanwhile at the hallways outside the training area, we see Sylvia and Raya walking forward but unbeknownst to them, a very dangerous element is seen lurking around the corner.

Malvina Rasputin then peeks her head out from one corner while glaring holes at Raya, "You shameless insect... how dare you dragged my dear Marcus into one of your schemes! I shall do everything in power to prevent you from getting my dear Marcus all to yourself.'' she thought dangerously.
