Kateline's POV

"So do you guys have any schoolwork or anything," Brooke asks. "Not really. We haven't had homework since you both arrived" Wheels says. "So have any of you actually been to a real school?" I ask, "Except for Missy, no" Wild Card replies. ''Alright, We were just wondering" Brooke says.

"Is anyone in the mood for some training?" I ask. Missy shrugs her shoulders. "Sure" She replies. We all make our way to the gymnasium. Brooke and I look around and the equipment. A tightrope, climbing wall, mattresses, and a see-saw. There's a lot less stuff here than there was a few years ago, but then again, all that stuff was off-limits so not really a big difference. 

"So is this all of the equipment?" Brooke asks, "Yeah? Why?" Missy asks. "No reason, I just thought... Nevermind." "Alright then?" Missy says. "Do you ever battle each other?" I ask, "What do you mean fight each other?" Noodles ask, "I mean like battle each other," I say. "Not really, no" Wheels replies. "Well are you up for it?" Brooke asks, Fast Forward and Rewind shrug their shoulders. "Sounds fun" Fast Forward, "I'm in," Facemaker says. 

I notice when Facemaker says that Rewind purses his lip. "What about your bruises?" Ojo asks him, "I'm fine" He replies. "Well if you want to," I say. "Well then I guess everyone should pair up," Brooke says. "Who do we partner up with?" Wheels ask, "Probably someone around the same skill level as you," I say. "Can you give us a demo?" Guppy asks Brooke and I really excitedly. "Sure then everyone will pair up" I reply.  

Missy's POV

We all find a spot to sit down and watch Brooke and Kateline. "Oh, we should probably transform," Kateline says with realization. "Right," Brooke says. "Transform? What do they-" Wild Card didn't get to finish his sentence. 

Brooke and Kateline tapped their wrist com once and then there's like a golden swirl that surrounds them, and then when it stops the girls are in their superhero outfits. "Much better. It's so much harder battling with hair in your face" Brooke says, "Agreed" Kateline replies. 

Kateline and Brooke both blast each other starting the battle. Brooke blasts with Kateline a ton of water, and Kateline contracts it by blasting it with a ton of wind blowing it back at Brooke. They keep blasting each other back and forth. 

They're actually really good at fighting. They do a bunch of flips and tricks and dodge almost all the blasts. It finally ends when Kateline summons a hurricane and knocks Brooke into the corner of the room. They both detransform and Kateline walks over to Brooke and helps her up. 

"Alright so everyone pair up," Kateline says as she and Brooke walk over. We struggle for a few minutes trying to pair up. In the end, Wild Card, Fast Forward, Facemaker, A Capella, and I still weren't paired up. "Alright then. Missy and Fast Forward how about you both partner up, A Capella and Facemaker, and Wild Card you can pair up with Brooke" Kateline says. "Everyone good with that?" She asks. We all nod our heads.

"Alright then. Everyone get on a mat with your partner and start when you're ready" Kateline says. "Wait. Girls tie up your hair" Brooke says stopping us. She and Kateline pull out some hair ties and give them to us. All of us tie our hair and then we all get on the mats but no one starts battling. So Brooke attacks Wild Card and the rest of us start battling our partners.

Brooke's POV

No one's battling each other so I decide to send a gust of water at Wild Card. Clearly, Wild Card wasn't ready because he was looking all over the place. Once I blast him he gets knocked back a little bit and blast bubbles at me. Bubbles? Kateline said he had every power in the world so he probably was just surprised and didn't know what to do.

I blast him once again this time with lava. He manages to dodge it and blast back with electricity. I use water to engulf the electricity and then fire it back at him, shocking him. Oops. I think I might have gone a bit overboard. Kateline starts walking around giving feedback and advice to everyone. 

Over time Wild Card starts getting the hang of it. I notice that as time goes on the Junior Heroics all start watching us. First, it's Rewind and Noodles, then A Capella and Facemaker, after that it's Missy and Fast Forward. Who is then followed by Ojo and Slo-Mo, and finally Wheels and Guppy. Kateline walks over and sits on one of the benches. 

Missy's POV

"Who do you think's gonna win?" Noodles asks, "I don't know. Wild Card has every power imaginable, but Brooke has a tone of powers as well not to mention she's trained for half her life" Wheels says. "Wait is she Sharkgirl right now or Brooke?" Fast Forward asks, "Um Sharkgirl  I think?" Facemaker says. "Technically she's Sharkgirl right now, but when she's training not fighting a villain so she's Brooke" Kateline says walking over. 

"I think Brooke's gonna win!" Guppy says excitedly. "Aren't you biased?" A Capella asks playfully, "Kind of" Guppy says smiling a bit. "Are we allowed to help them?" I ask, "I mean if you want to. Brooke. Wild Card. You okay with that?" She asks, "Yeah that's fine" Brooke replies not look towards us running towards Wild Card and flipping him. 

Brooke then summons sharks and they break through the floor and nearly bit Wild Card but thanks to the vibration Brooke caused whiled summoning the sharks, Wild Card was knocked back. "Brooke go easy on him. Your gonna kill him. No shark powers" Kateline calls to Brooke, "Fine" She replies. 

"What about the floor?" I ask, "Oh yeah, I'll fix that," Kateline says. "How are you supposed to fix a floor?" A Capella asks. "Like this" Kateline replies. Using her index finger and middle finger, with her right hand, she begins moving the two fingers in a circular motion. The floor starts reversing itself and soon enough it's perfectly fine but no one else was reversed.

Brooke blasts Wild Card with lava and water at the same time yet they don't combine. "Wild Card make a force field," Wheels says, "Got it," Wild Card says. He was sort of successful cause he made a forcefield but it was as big as the room. Kateline gets up, walks over to Wild Card, and whispers something into Wild Card's ear. He nods his head and makes a force field this time only around himself. 

Wow. Kateline's actually good at giving advice. Wild Card got it on his second try. Normally it takes him like 5 tries for new powers he's never used. I guess that's why she used to be the team leader. She's a natural with her powers, she's so nice to everyone, everyone loves her including the adults, the Heroics seems to trust her a lot, and she knows how to help everyone.

Wild Card and Brooke both blast each other counteracting each other's attack. Wild Card proceeds to create an earthquake that A. Knocks us all of our chairs and probably shakes the entire builder, and B. Makes Brooke go flying in the air. But she does like a flip thing and lands back on her feet blasting a tone of water and him and fast. 

"Woah. That flip thing was so cool!" Facemaker exclaims. The surprise water attack from Brooke sends Wild Card flying into the wall making Brooke the winner. "You okay Wild Card?" I ask him walking over, "Yeah, just didn't expect that," Wild Card says standing up. "That was great everyone" Kateline exclaims, "I just got a message that the Heroics finished their meeting so we can go and they'll explain everything," Kateline says. "Finally. Answers!" Wheels exclaims.
