Destined Book-1 Ladorian Adventures

Chapter 9-Real Training Begins

Bfore I even opened my eyes, I knew where I was. I was in the training room. I used my senses to find where Sensei was; but I found more than just Sensei. I could sense nine other children; all of which were around my age.

"What was that I felt Sensei?" asked one of the children feeling my energy observing him.

"Yeah, what was that? I felt it too. It was powerful." Said another.

"That was Jake right there... I think. Only he could have done that. That was you, right Jake?" asked Sensei a little worried.

I could looked through my energy. When I did, I saw a blue aura around each of the children and Sensei.

"Yes, that was me." I said as I felt a sudden chill and saw a glimpse of ruins. "Whoa, that's... it's... so cold."

"What's cold?" asked one of the others.

"It... it was... the future. It was cold and dark. Like... something bad happened." I said now fearing my future.

"Ah, you've discovered your powers to see into the future. You said you could; but I had to see for myself to make sure it was real." Sensei said bringing me into the small group.

"You didn't believe what I told you?" I asked hurt.

"No, It's not that; it's that sometimes your powers can make you feel like you see the future, when I reality, you're not. It's not a trust thing Jake. It's more along the lines of testing your powers to make sure you know what you see. A word of warning though, what you see can be influenced by the littlest of choices you make; and nothing is promised. Everything you see can be changed for the better or worse. So be carful with what you do." Sensei warned.

"Got it." I said trying to figure out why there were nine other warriors here.

"Now, today's lesson is how to fight. You will be using these wooden katanas." Sensei said holding nine katanas.

"Finally, I get to try to use a sword." Said one of the children excitedly.

"Before you all fight each other, I want you all to talk some and get to know each other some." He said while checking the katanas.

"Hi, I'm Isaac. Sensei called you Jake, right?" asked the boy to my right.

"Yeah, I'm Jake or Jacob depending on which one you want to call me by. I'll answer to both though. It's nice to meet you." I said holding out my hand.

"Nice to meet you too. Where are you from Jake?" He asked.

"I'm from Omega city. I live in one of the urban areas. Where do you live?" I asked back warming up to him.

His smile grew as he said, "I live in the urban part of Omega city too. My address is 783; what's yours?"

"No way, you live right next door to me!? My address is 785!" I said in shock.

"Wow, we live right next to each other. That's cool. Say, what color armor do you have? I've never seen a color armor that didn't go with the persons eyes." He asked.

"My color is blue. My energy did this to me." I said pointing to my hair and eyes. "I used to have green eyes; but now I have blue. I didn't think blue was a color for an armored warrior."

He put his hand on his chin thinking before his eyes got wider and his mouth opened while looking at me in shock.

"The only warrior to have blue armor is the blue warrior. You are the blue warrior, aren't you?" he asked trying to regain his composure but failing to do so.

"I'm not sure." I said smiling weakly.

"Well I am. I know you are the blue warrior Jake." Sensei said walking up to us.

"You mean he is the blue warrior and I'll be training with the him!?" Isaac asked shocked.

"Yes you will; but don't think of him as the blue warrior while were here, just think of him as another armored warrior." Sensei said handing William a katana.

As he handed me a katana and my watch said, "Reshaping."

Everyone looked at me as my wooden katana flashed bright blue before turning into a blue and silver sword. It was no longer a wooden katana. It was a silver and blue gold katana.

"What just happened!?" yelled one of the other children.

"What was that!?" yelled another.

"That was the power of the blue warriors armor. It is more advanced than any other armor that has or ever will exist." Sensei said coming over and inspecting my new silver and blue gold katana. "This is a true armored warriors sword; but you can't use it yet. You have to be trained not to kill yourself or others with it." As he finished, a lightweight sheath appeared on the left side of my belt.

"Whoa, this gets cooler and cooler by the minute." I said as Sensei handed me back the sword which I promptly sheathed.

"Let me get you a new katana." Sensei said as another one appeared in front of him. "Here."

As soon as I grabbed it, it transformed into an exact copy of the first and another sheath appeared on my right side of my belt.

"Interesting, you will be a dual wielder. That is very rare." Sensei said making two more katanas appear in front of him.

This time, when I grabbed the katanas, the stayed wooden katanas.

"Now everyone except you Jake, hold your katana with two hands and point it at your partners forehead. You Jake hold one in each hand and point both of them at you partners forehead." Sensei instructed.

I did as he instructed and looked at Isaac. He was shocked as Sensei partnered the two of us up.

"I have no skill whatsoever with a sword. Please go easy on me." I said raising my swords.

"Okay, I will." He responded.

"You will want to go full force on Jake, Isaac. As soon as his hidden skills awaken, you'll be unarmed and on the ground. The first one out of the groups to be hit with the sword or be pinned to the ground unarmed will be out." Sensei said breaking into our little conversation.

"Okay Sensei. Sorry Jake; but we have to fallow what Sensei says." He apologized.

"It's fine. Let's start." I said adjusting my sword.

He raised his swords tip to be level with my eyes and then came at me full force. He obviously had lots of experience with swords. His style was so well developed and neat; I could barely block his attacks.

Then everything flashed and became slightly foggy. I didn't have time to wonder what happened because William started swinging at me. He swung towards the upper left side of my head and then immediately swung his sword over his head and down towards my crus. That is the lower part of your leg for those who don't know. I parried both attacks by swinging the sword in my left hand up to block his strike to my head and then swinging my right hand down to block his attack to my legs.

I then decided to try to unarm him by slamming my two swords together one his swords trapping his sword in the middle. Because I had to bring my left arm over the right arm to trap his sword, I could lift up my right hand and quickly lower my left to disarm him. He sword fell to the ground and something told me to do a swivel kick to get him off his feet.

I fallowed my instincts and did a swivel kick, that I didn't know I could even do, and knocked him down. Then everything became clear again and he saw still charging me. Time had slowed down for me to quickly learn to defend myself. Then everything sped back up and I got into a battle stance. He swung just like he did in my vision and I decided to kick the sword away from me instead. I jumped up and did a round house kick and knocked his sword away from me. Once he recovered, he swung at my right leg just like my vision said he would. I did what I did in my vision and parried and disarmed him just like before. I then did a spin and brought my swords to his head.

I stopped myself before I touched him and said, "You loose. I've disarmed you and could've easily hit you; but I won't. That wouldn't be right."

Everyone in the room just stared at me with wide eyes. They had obviously never seen moves like mine used before.

"Good job Jake. We'll continue this lesson another time. Until then good bye." Sensei said as everything started fading.
