(Shane)
He looked a little rejected, but I didn't mean him to be a joy kill, I just needed to get some rest cause of tomorrow.
-Friday-
We were going to do a training room field test. We were going to use our hand to hand and power training in the D-room. Like we usually do it was Jelani and Remy against Rajin and I .
"Ok this is how we are going to do it. Using Shane's Holo-shell technology I have made some absorption armor that should negate our powers safely. We will use these until we can master our own types of shielding." Jelani was giving our brief.
The armor was like biker riding armor with padding in the chest and abdomen area also on the legs and arms. They had a color in them that matched our powers. "Oh great we are fucking power rangers". Rajin Whispered in my ear. "We will use a rocky field like terrain, in a version of capture the flag. Use your powers anyway possible to prevent us from taking your flag and to get ours."
"Sound simple enough" I answered with my arms crossed. "So you believe" Remy grinned.
Both teams got to there sides on the field and I called for the computer.
"Decca start tribe 2 war field."
I heard a few resounding beeps and everything went dark as the new environment loaded. We were soon inside a castle/fortress.
"Ok so what should we do." I asked Rajin "I say just go over there and take it" "But we should have a plan". "This is just a game come on." He yelled as he ran off in their direction. We left the bunker and were running towards some rock formations. "Its just past these rocks." He assured me. As walked through the rock pillars we were able to see their fort. "See they are no where to be seen. Nothing to worry about." He grinned looking upon the base.
"Wrong little bro you need to be more cautious." We heard Remy behind us, clinging to a rock pillar. He was about 15 ft above our heads. "But how are you to get us if your all the way up there?" Rajin laughed as he started to spark up a fire ball. "Like this!!" Remy let go of the rock and was falling straight at us he held out his hands and a strong wind allowed him to seemingly float to the floor and also pushing us back into a tumbling mess.
"Can't concentrate to aim at him." Rajin strained against Remys' winds. I lift my hand in a raising motion and created a ice wall to shield us from his winds. "This should help us out." "I think not Shane" Jelani laughed as he hurled a bolt from atop his rock platform at us destroying my ice shield. "Urgh were pinned down." I groaned. "We have to figure a way out of this." "Create another Ice shield." Rajin cried. As I did he created a spark. And like before Jelani blasted it leaving us bear to Jelanis' winds that blew out Rajins spark. "Ok new plan I cried. We made it behind a rock a much steadier barrier. And Rajin created his fire balls ready to launch and I with some snowballs I had conjured. We stepped out to notice the winds had stopped. Jelani was still there but Remy was gone. The computer they chimed. `Team 1 Scores'
And the field was gone.
Both teams met in the middle. "You two have to take this a bit more seriously had it not been for your dampeners we could have dusted you".
"Urgh we both groaned." We went several more rounds and it ended up pretty much the same with us losing. They were always a step ahead and a spell faster.
"Ok we have to change this strategy it seems they keep ahead of us so we have to stay one ahead of them." This time we took our time and planned.
It was the same field as the first. We both booked it to the rock formation cause that's were most of our battles took place. Getting there hopefully before them I took my place on one platform and started to create my aqua spheres and douse the whole field and got down behind one of the rocks.. Rajin took his place and kept snapping his fingers creating about 30 little sparks that he controlled to float in the air high above us to stay out of view. They came in shortly after boasting about there past victories.
"Dude this is so easy, we weren't this pathetic were we." Remy laughed. "No but our powers didn't negate each others either we were able to work together much more. They could be much more of a match if they worked together." Jelani explained. "Like this!!" Rajin hollered from atop the rocks as he leaped down. As he did he willed his sparks into full fire balls about the sizes of basketballs to strike the guys and the cold water. immediately there was a thick fog that covered the area.
"Get on guard they planned this one out. Remy ordered as he and Jelani stood back to back. I used my powers to make 5 ice pillar decoys s to rise up about 5 feet high. "There Jelani pointed has he tossed a spark ball. All he do was curse when it just shattered. "Shane is using decoys!!"
"NOW SHANE THE CAGE!!" What Jelani had said before was right using existing matter was much easier. In my mind I started to make the water droplets directly around them to start to gather until it looked like one of those bubble arts they were totally surrounded. "What is this bro?" Remy laugh as he swept his hand through. He could move it freely cause they were still but water, what he didn't notice is how when he did it clung to his hand.
"It was a nice try kids but not good enough." Grinning I waited for the signal. "NOW!!" Rajin yelled still behind his rock. I stood up into view and raised both hands fingers held tightly together in their direction. I reached out to the bubble cage and started to freeze the orbs from the bottom up and speared my fingers so they spidered out and connected effectively trapping the two.
"Ha we won." Rajin laughed getting up from his hiding spot. "Not yet you haven't Remy grinned as he inhaled and blow out a great gust that took away the rest of the fog. "Now its my turn." Jelani yelled. He called upon small bolts of lightning to strike the cage into pieces. "Shane hurry liquefy it." Rajin yelled. I turned the ice back into water and with the next lightning strike Remy yelled out in pain. The energy jumped through the new conduit hitting Remy but leaving Jelani unharmed.
A tone play in the battle field that Rajin and I were used to. It signified that some had taken to much damage and were disqualified. This time though it was Remy.
"Go!!" I yelled and Rajin took off towards their fort. "Not so fast." Jelani was calling down more bolts to hit Rajin. "I have you, keep running." I keep throwing out aqua balls over Rajins' head and the lightening was trapped inside of them.
He was able to make it out of the field as I held off Jelani. I learned on the fly how to protect myself from projectiles. One I learned when Jelani threw a spark ball and I tried batting it away out of reflex but my powers kicked in left like a wet trail like I painted the air in front of me with a brush. The trail took the brunt of the shock blast but disappeared as they were hit. SO I was good if I could keep up with his spark balls.
He seemed to be getting upset as he hurled 3 static sparks at me. I jumped out of the way and the tone rung. Team 2 wins.
The field disappeared and we all came together in the middle again.
"Good job guys finally learning to work together made you a force to reckon with."
"Yeah, we mashed you guys huh." Rajin grinned. "Whatever wait until next round." As the level loaded and we were in the middle of the field again.
"Eww, no more today I'm tired that ice cage took a lot from me." "Yeah that fire rain did as well."
"Ok well done guys it take a lot to do what you two did." Remy complimented. As he focus his power to create a orb of wind in his hand which could only be seen because of the computerized dust it lifted into it. "Yeah" Remy copied as he made a spark ball. In his palm. It looked like a white light in the center and a purplish electric energy make a cage around it with tiny lightning bridges randomly appearing and disappearing. Remy and I copied their cues and formed our own orbs.
"This is so cool, I knew someday I would be able to this but I can't remember why I feared it". I tried but all the fear I had was gone this power was mine and apart of me I could no longer try and run from it.
On there own our orbs began to float towards each others and they met in a flash of light.
"Did one you do that?" I asked
