Fight Till the End

Chapter 5: Time to Train

"Before we start your training, let me introduce you to your trainers." Elizabeth said with a smile.

I looked over and saw four women walking across the field towards us.

When they got to us, Elizabeth introduced them "Annalynn Sterling, your tactics coach. Scarlett Murphy your realistic fighter. Meaning she'll fight like she is really trying to kill you, but stop just short of it. Victoria and Meagan, they'll be your training partners. They will help me train you in different ways to make sure you're always alert. So.... are you ready for the next few years of hell?" She said that last part with a smirk on her face

I looked at them long and hard, knowing that after I make this choice, there's no turning back.

I remembered the way Elizabeth broke down in tears the night I had the nightmare. I remembered the vow I made to protect her, no matter the cost. I looked at Elizabeth, then Annalynn, then Scarlett, then Victoria and Meagan.

"No turning back now." I said with a smile in my face, "Let's do this."

The first year of training went by slow. I learned alot though. I learned that I could make beams of light that used my energy. They can deal high damage when done correctly, but they only come out of my hands. I learned how to use that same energy to fly. It was fun to learn everything.

The next three years were mainly physical training. I went from a guy that was a little over weight and almost no muscle, too a guy that had a six pack and muscle. I was surprised at how far along I came.

Me and Elizabeth grew closer over those years, but we really never made anything official. When my trainers asked if there was anything between us, we'd say there wasn't. But the way we acted around each other, you would think we're together. Sometimes after training I would be watching television and she would come and just lay on my lap. When she would be in pain, she would come over and just want me to hold her. But as a friend, she would always make that clear, but that was her way of flirting I guess. I've become acustom to it.

Scarlette was fun to hang around. She liked too play jokes on everyone and she like snakes, and for some weird reason, it was like she was connected to them some how. She could make them do almost anything she wanted. A weird but neat talent.

Annalynn was a high spirited girl. She was kind and thoughtful. To me though she thinks to much. The irony was that's why she was such a good tactics coach. She would always see me coming from a mile away when we were traning. It was a little scary actually. It was like she was able to read my mind.

Victoria and Meagan were sisters, and fun sisters at that. Elizabeth told me that they are the only ones who could do an ancient technique. She told me that it's a type of fusion. It's only able to be done by true siblings, and when they do it, its amazing. There power would increase ten fold. Something like that would come in handy.

I finshed training with Elizabeth and her trainers a bit early. It was actually better than I thought. Since I finished training, I wasn't just physically better, I was.... mentality and socially better, and my energy was increased a hundred fold. I know that I was going to have to fight this so called god, but that was in the back of my mind considering that it was about a year from now. I guess that since everyone I knew died I really didn't have an insensitive to live or fight, but then Elizabeth happened. She helped me realize that it isn't all about having raw power or brute strength. It was about fighting for what you believe is right, what you know has to be done and be willing to make the sacrificing play.

I learned a lot from all of them. I know that with out them, there knowledge and there wisdom, I wouldn't be where I was now if it wasn't for them. They were always there for me and I thank them for that.
