Blinded part 2 (discontinued)

Arcadia's most wanted part 1

Jim's point of view

In the sewers

I hate myself for agreeing to this: what are you trying to do are you trying to kill me!!

Stricklers troll voice echoed in the tunnels: yes I am!!

Why did I expect anything less to happen, it's been weeks since him and Namora came back to Arcadia. At first I wasn't thrilled about them being here however Strickler offered to train me in the changling ways and with the fact that we are greatly outnumbered we need all the help we can get. And besides of my own personal feelings about this he didn't seem like a bad idea

Only Rex knows about their return and of course he had his reservations as well but he trusted my judgement, i'm in the other werewolves are out searching for whenever power Merlin left to me that he spoke of in the vision of course would've helped if he was a bit more descriptive about what that power was.

I sense Strickler is about to jump in from behind me I George and roundhouse kick into a wall, he commend me but he also schools me: very good mr Lake, however you seem distracted

He continues attacking me while we talk: oh what do I have to be distracted about it's not like the fate of the world rests in my shoulders and I have school work that needs to be done nothing else to be distracting my mind

Strickler throws knives at me I can hear them coming thanks to my new tail I reflect them and use my wedding to swing out of the way: but it's not just that is it you're feeling guilty about not telling Blinky of our training sessions

I crawl around on the ceiling: I don't think he would approve of your methods

I hear the getting sliced by a knife at telling towards me I jump from my spot and use my shield to break my fall, Strickler continues to lecture me: he wouldn't understand, tell me what is the rules of changelings

I blocked his attacks as I remember the rules: rule one there is honour among assassins

Strickler kicked me around the face shattering my helmet and causing a little blood to leave my nose: excellent rule number two

Wiping away the blood from my nose I bring my blasters out and shoot Instructor's direction however judging how the sounds of the blasters hit the Stone wall behind him I'm guessing I missed: rule one is a lie, there is no such thing as honour

Strickler: excellent what is the final rule

He's trying to come up behind me but are use my tail to throw his balance and then at least daylight right between his eyes: everyone and everything is a tool to get what you want

Once again I've beaten Strickler, however this is only the third time I've spent to do it on these training sessions out of 10. The only way I was able to beat him during the battle of the bridge because Rex gave me a good enough distraction and also there was a lot of other things happening that was probably occupying his mind, so I wouldn't exactly call that won the victory

Strickler: good work Mr Lake however you still need more training if you want to kill gunmar you're going to have to fight like him

I put away my weapon in and help him up: I know I know and I know, but there's still the matter of the vampires we still don't know the exact numbers and the night creatures that Otto keeps creating are getting stronger. Oh yeah and finally there is the matter of we don't know why gunmar hasn't tried to attack the surface yet

Namora speaks for the first time since the training session started: perhaps to lighten your load of burdens you should think of getting rid of that annoying bottom feeder Otto
