Extra Terrestrial

Chapter 6

Hey guys sorry I didn't update yesterday! I was hanging with the family(: And sorry for the short chapters, I'll try to make this one longer. Remember to Vomment!! Also, I am probably going back and editing a couple of my chapters so bare with me :P

********************************************

I got home and slipped into the bed. My parents both stirred, but luckily they didn't wake.

I lied in bed for a while and felt that pill start to kick in. I wasn't sleepy at all. I was hyper, actually.

I glanced at the clock and it read 8:30 am. Well, that was good enough for me. I slid out of bed and walked into  the kitchen. I looked around for the cereal and saw it on the shelf. Today I wasn't going to experiment with the food.

I walked into the living room but then remembered I couldn't watch the television. I should have asked Porg about that. Maybe the waves coming from the television interfered with the chip. Seemed like a reasonable explanation.

I sat on the couch and ate my cereal in silence.

************

The day wasn't much fun. I learned some more stuff, although I really didn't need to. The alien's intelligence kicked in and I knew everything before I even saw it. I tried to act like I was learning, so my mom wouldn't get suspicious.

I couldn't wait for tonight. I would learn to fight! It sounded exciting, better than learning algebra and english.

We headed off to bed and I waited until my parents started to snore. I jumped out of bed and practically ran to the ship.

The ramp slid down in front of my feet and I sprinted up it.

"Hi! What am I going to learn today?", I asked excitedly.

"Enthusiastic, I see. That's good, you will need it. Today we are going to teach you basic fighting. How to block, how to throw a punch. We will get into other stuff later.", Porg answered me.

"Ok. That sounds better then learning stuff I already know."

Porg led me into the room with the black padding on the floor. There was another guy waiting for me.

"This is Kale. He's not an alien, he is a martial arts teacher. We 'asked' him to come teach you.", Porg explained.

Kale smiled at me, but there was a dull look in his eyes. He had brown hair and was wearing a white suit and a black belt.

"Kale, teach her how to block first.", Porg commanded.

Kale's eyes sharpened and he looked at me.

"Blocking is the process of keeping someone's hits from hurting you so much. Typically you use your arms or hands.", Kale explained. He motioned for me to come over to him.

"Try to hit me.", he said. I threw my hand out and his arm flew up and blocked my 'hit'.

"Woah.", I muttered.

"Soon, you will learn to do that. But maybe we should teach you how to hit first. That sucked."

I blushed.

"To hit, make your hand into a fist and squeeze. You are going to want to rear your arm back and throw it forwards. Use all the strength you have."

I did as he said and threw my arm forwards and tried to hit his chest. I didn't even nudge him. This might take a while.

"Ok, let's just start off slow. Drop on the ground and do 10 push-ups."

I layed on the ground and pushed myself up.

"1!", he yelled.

I fell to the ground and couldn't get back up.

"Come on Elizabeth, you can do better than that!"

I looked up at him and shook my head.

He put his hand on his forehead and muttered something.

"Porg, don't you have some sort of thing you could give her and make her already know all this?", he asked.

Porg shook his head. "Us aliens don't fight physically. We use our minds and some weapons. But not our fists."

"Well couldn't you develop a pill that makes her strong at least?"

"I'll look into it.", Porg said as he walked away.

"Ok, now Elizabeth, lets try running.", Kale said and he grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

"I want you to run the entire distance around this black mat.", he commanded.

I sighed and walked to the edge.

"On your mark, get set, go!", he yelled.

I pushed off the ground and started running. The wind rushed my hair back and as I got to the third corner I was out of breath. I started to slow down.

"Don't you slow down! Push yourself to the limit!", Kale yelled.

I sped up slightly and collapsed after I made it to where I started.

"You did great. At least you can run.", he said to me. I looked up at him and glared.

"Ok, drink some water and I'll teach you how to kick.", he said handing me a bottle of water. I gulped it down and walked to the center of the mat.

"When you kick, you use your foot and hit your opponent. Try it on me.", he explained.

I kicked him in his shin.

"That kinda hurt so you are doing better. Now, to block a kick. When someone lifts their leg up to kick you, reach down with your hand and grab their leg. Then you want to twist it and make them spin around. Try to kick me."

I threw my leg out and he reached down and grabbed my leg. I stood there trying to balance on one leg.

"Now, I'll try not to hurt you but I'll show you what to do." He turned my leg and I was spun around, facing away from him.

"Ok, now that you got this far, your going to kick their other leg and make then fall. Aim for the part where your leg bends."

He reached out and pushed on my leg. I collasped on the the ground and rolled around to face him.

"Now, you will learn to do that. Get up and I'll try to kick you."

I got up and waited on him to kick me. All of a sudden I had a sharp pain in my leg.

"Ow!", I yelled.

"I thought you were going to grab me?", he asked.

"Wait, you kicked me? I didn't even see you!"

He laughed, "Ok, I'll go slower."

He slowly tried to kick me and I grabbed his leg.

"Now spin me around and kick my other leg.", he said.

I spun him and kicked. He fell to the floor. I felt a little sense of pride.

"Good job.", he congratulated.

At that time Porg came back with a purple tablet in his hand.

"Our scientists came up with a strength pill. Hopefully it will work.", Porg told me. He handed me the pill and I swallowed it.

"It may take a day or two for the pill to be effective. Side effects are sudden bursts of energy, so watch out."

I nodded.

"Ok, it's starting to get light. You should head home. We shall see you tomorrow!Oh, and before you go, here is your energy pill", Pord exclaimed. He handed me the blue tablet and I swallowed it too.

"Ok. Bye Porg, bye Kale!", I said as I walked off. Kale waved.

I headed home feeling stronger.
