The Meta Six

Chapter 16

Omniscient

The professor made everyone breakfast the next day. They sat around the dining room, chatting and getting to know one another better. The professor smiled as he looked around the room. He had a feeling this team would do great things. His eyes fell on Onyx noticing she was the only one not talking, she was just looking around. A part of him was worried that Onyx may not fit in with the team and be more stand-off-ish.

Everyone's attention was drawn to him when he cleared his throat and stood up.

"Okay, everyone. We'll start training right away today." He handed his empty plate to Orion, who was circling the table to collect everyone's plate "Please follow me to the training room"

He led them to a large white room with a variety of weapons and gadgets displayed on glass shelves, as well as various screens, monitors, high-tech training equipment, and other items.

Marcel looked around in awe "damn this place has everything." He walked over to one of the shelves.

"Wait is this", he said as he picked up one of the gadgets "an ion splicer and degenerator" he looked up at the professor with his mouth hung open in shock.

"I've only read about these in comics," he said in awe.

The professor smiled "Yes it is, I created it myself. Similar to everything you see in this room" he motioned his hand around the room.

"Okay first I would like each of you to demonstrate your powers," the professor gestured to Marcel. "do you mind going first"

"Sure," he said as he walked to the center of the room and everyone moved aside.

He scanned the room and then fixed his eyes on a vacuum on the other side of the room.

As he activated his abilities, his eyes began to glow a bright green. The vacuum awoke and began to move towards him. It came to a halt and began spinning on its back wheels. It then returned to its previous position.

Marcel turned his head to the monitor on the wall and started making different images appear on it. he turned his attention to one of the computers and it started to shoot electricity out of it.

He stopped and looked at the professor "So?" he asked, wanting to hear his thoughts.

"Well done Marcel, I can see you have good control over your powers" he turned to Arianna "Arianna you're up"

She walked to the center of the room feeling a bit nervous, she knew she didn't know how to control her powers yet and feared she would embarrass herself.

She closed her eyes and focused on turning invisible. After a moment she looked down at her hands and she was still visible. She sighed in frustration "I uh, it's not working" she said looking down at her feet feeling her cheeks heat up from embarrassment.

"No worries," the professor said as he walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked up. "We'll work on it," he said with a small smile.

She went back to where she was previously standing feeling dispirited. She didn't want the others to think she was weak.

"Okay Justus, Take it away," the professor said.

He walked to the middle of the room "so do you want me to just shoot at anything" he asked the professor.

"No actually one second" the professor walked over to the back wall and pushed a button on it which caused the wall to split open and a training dummy to emerge out of it.

"You can aim at this," the professor said moving out of the way.

Justus fixed his attention on the dummy, brought his hands up, and released a blast of ice at it. He then raised his hand and formed ice shards, he pushed his hands forward, and the shard when flying at the dummy and planted itself in the dummy's head.
