The Legacy of the Uncharted

~ Chapter 25 ~ Another training day

As the crew finished their sparring sessions and drills, Alexandria noticed the frustration in **Lucy's** eyes. She had been trying to control her powers all day, but something was missing. They needed to push Lucy further, beyond the safety of their current approach. Alexandria realized that Lucy might need to experience real pressure, not just focus on emotions.

Alexandrialooked around at the crew, an idea forming in her mind.

- Alexandria : Alright, everyone. I've got an idea. Lucy's powers tend to show up when she's under pressure or when we're in danger. So, how about we put her in that exact situation?"

Eli standing beside Lucy, raised an eyebrow.

- Eli : What are you thinking, Alex?"

- Alexandria : Simple. You all attack Lucy. Not for real, obviously, but enough to put her under pressure. Maybe seeing herself under attack will force her powers to come out again."

Lucy looked shocked, glancing between the crew and Alexandria.

- Lucy : Wait, you want them to attack me? What if I can't control my powers? What if I end up hurting someone?"

- Alexandria : We'll be careful, Lucy. This is just training. If you want to learn how to control your powers, you have to push them beyond what you're comfortable with. And if your powers are tied to protecting yourself or others, this might be the push you need."

The crew exchanged glances, unsure at first, but intrigued by the challenge.

- Jax : I'm in. I've never backed down from a fight, even if it's just a training one."

- Belle : Me too. We'll take it easy, Lucy, but this could help you."

Even Theo nodded in agreement, though he seemed a bit concerned.

- Theo : We've got your back, Lucy. We won't hurt you, but let's see if this works."

Lucy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

- Lucy : Alright, let's try it. But no promises."

The Attack Begins

The crew circled around Lucy, preparing for the mock battle. Alexandria stood to the side, watching carefully.

- Alexandria : Okay, everyone. Let's start slow. Remember, this is training."

Jax was the first to make a move, lunging at Lucy with a controlled strike. Lucy dodged to the side, her reflexes quick but no sign of her powers yet.

- Jax : Come on, Lucy. You've got to fight back."

Belle followed up with a feint, aiming for Lucy's side. Lucy blocked with her forearm, still holding back.

- Belle : You're doing great, but you've got more in you. We all know it."

The pressure started to build. Razor and Keoni joined the attack, testing Lucy's ability to defend herself from multiple directions. Lucy was quick, but she was getting overwhelmed, her movements becoming more frantic.
