Rise of The Conquest

Chapter 5: Simulation Training

A week later, the team was finally official. The government recognized Spark's team and gave them their complete support. They were supplied with complete access to different bases around the world.

At first there was a debate about having the team train with normal soldiers. Spark insisted on having his team train separately from the normal soldiers. Eventually, Spark won that argument.

Mark Towers offered up one of his big skyscrapers as headquarters. The building was stationed in Washington D.C, close to the White House. It was E shaped, with many different floors, all unique from each other.

The first day the team arrived at the building, they were greeted by several high-ranking government officials, including the president. After the introduction, Mark Towers gathered the team and explained how they would progress with their training in their new base. Everyone had their own floor with their own training rooms. Each training simulations was specially designed for the diverse powers of its occupants. Yet they all were outfitted with a program that simulated a different location for each new training session and released enemy robots for the user to fight.

Erika's room was on the first floor of the tower. She took a moment to explore her room, which was a bit more pleasant than she expected. She had a big, gold canopy bed, a big screen tv, a bookshelf stuffed to the brim, high tech computer, huge couch, private bathroom, and even a little kitchenette. All decked out in touches of rose gold.

It felt like a vacation, until she decided to try out the simulator. Set the difficult halfway between medium and easy.

"Let's see what you can do," she chuckled.

She rushed into the metallic, glowing room. As soon as the doors closed, her surroundings began to change.

The floor turned into sand and soon it looked as if she was in a desert. Erika was astounded by the simulation as she prepared herself for battle.

Bird like robots flew through the air, throwing bombs that were a bit too realistic. Erika rolled with superhuman speed to avoid them. Grabbed her weapon and the gun morphed into her hands, creating a new type of alien weapon.

In an instant, multiple shots were fired. She launched head shots to all robots at once, delivering killing blows with ease. Followed by quiet. Eerie stillness.

As she scanned her surroundings, a robot jumped out of a bush in an attempt to ambush Erika from the back. With her swift dash, she was able to roll the moment she heard something approaching her and shot multiple shots.

Three shots flew into the air and hit the robot ambushing her. The other two hit robots that were flying towards her from a far distance.

"Piece of cake," Erika said, as she finished up her mission and left the simulator. "And for that, I think I deserve some cake." She rewarded herself with a trip to the refrigerator.

After taking a nice, long, bubble bath, Diana explored her simulator on the floor above Erika's.

"I wonder how this works," she said, as she spun the knob between the medium and hard setting. 

She was used to being stronger than other humans, so without much thought she walked through the doors, into the metallic room.

The doors closed and the room started to morph into a forest. As soon as the terrain changed, Diana prepared for battle. Her eyes scanned the area.

A bush began to tremble. Then three robots jumped out of the branches and sprinted towards Diana at full speed.

She jumped up and threw some vines onto the ground that came to life and trapped the enemies. Diana destroyed all three in one slash.
