Powers (Book 1)

Chapter 7: Training Floor

Caleb's POV:
I wake up hearing Anthony scream, actually, super screaming. I immediately get up when Leyla throws water on me. "What was that for?!" "For not getting up when Anthony yelled." Leyla said. "All I remember is getting hit by a flamethrower." I say.

"Well, whoever they were, got away. And now we need to know why they stole black energy." Anthony states. "Henry?" "Yes?" "Home, please!" Leyla says. "Ok." I see a arrow on my mask again.

------------------------------------------------------

As we tell our dad what happened, he says "Don't worry, the bad guys usually get away. But them beating you, that's not acceptable. This is why you guys need to train. Come on, to the Training floor!" And we walk to the elevator.

As we step out, it's huge! There is punching bags made of steel, an obstacle course, The Wall of Doom, I think you get it. "This-" my dad says, "is the Training floor.

"This is where you can find out what black energy is. And over here-" he walks out of the room and to the left of the elevator, to another room, "is the combat room."

"This is where y'all can battle each other. One on one, two on two, three on one, four on a hologram-" "A hologram?" I ask. "Yeah, you can make any foe imaginable. But for right now, lets train."

We walk over to the steel punching bags. "Who wants to break this?" None of us raise our hand. "Ok, come on Caleb." Dad says. I didn't even say anything! Why is my dad picking on me now? I get up and focus. I swing my arm sideways and shoot a laser slash.

It hits the bag exactly, but there was no dent in it. "What? I hit that directly!" I said surprised. "Maybe you should use your sword." Dad says in a obvious way. I haven't even tried using my sword yet. I grab my sword off my floating ring on my light belt. When I put it in front of my face, I see a the spikes start spinning around the floating sword. "Woah!" I say. "Oh yeah," my dad says as if forgetting to say, "your sword is also a chainsaw.

"Are any of our weapons special too?" Brandon asks. "Well...
