The Adventures of Royce!

Chapter 39: Training Kelly.

Royce: "Kelly, the Dressing Room is over there in the corner, and this whole room; it's the Training Room. Now, get ready, I'll set the Room up with functioning decoys to begin your Training." Royce told the Ex-Siamese Mercenary as he enabled the Imaginary Scenario Simulator which then made Kelly's imaginary combat dummies activate. When Royce was activating the dummies, Kelly was trying her new clothes on.

Kelly: "Wow! This DOES fit like my old garments, I'm impressed," she talked to herself as she grabbed her new pair of Asfar Al-Nasr II Dual Blades, "LOOKS and FEELS perfect, time to start Training!" Kelly continued thinking to herself as she then left the Dressing Room.

As Kelly left the Dressing Room fully geared and armed.

Royce: "I see you're dressed and ready to kill!... let your training begin, all you need to do is use your imagination to start the Combat Training!" Royce explains to the Ex-Siamese Mercenary. The first thing on Kelly's thought of was her former Mercenary leader: Suki. "Holy heck! Your former leader, ARE YOU CRAZY?!"

Kelly: "What's the problem? Sometimes you've got to be crazy when you are a mercenary. I never told you this though, but I always carry my trusty Arabic dagger and am more then CAPABLE with my dagger!"

Royce: "I don't care about the dagger, Kelly, I want to improve your confidence and ability to use your weapons that your 'sisters' confidences' lacked!"

Kelly: "Really, Royce?"

Royce: "Yes, Kelly, really. Oh, and Kelly, you know what I have that your 'sisters' don't have?"

Kelly: "What?"

Royce: "I have patience, Kelly, they don't! Do they?"

Kelly: "Nooo..."

Royce: "OKay then, fight the dummy, err~ leader... Awkward." Royce told Kelly only for him to leave her to her own devices as all of a sudden, Royce remembers something. "Sorry Kelly, I just remembered something, gotta go!" After that was said and done, Royce left the Training Room and Academy before running into his Draconic parents: Spyro and Cynder, "Hi mom; hi dad, how's the Academy?"

Cynder: "Rumor has it that you single-handedly dispatched highly-trained, incredibly-dangerous mercenaries; and convince one to convince another to stand down, is that true?" his mother questioned him as out of concern.

Spyro: "But why target our child, Cynder? Well... at least they are ALL done and dealt with!" Spyro said with confidence and safety within his voice.

Royce: "Well... you see Spyro... one's in prison and is under interrogation, the second one is doing time with parole due to cooperation, the third is being questioned as to rather she is considered 'SAFE' to be allowed into War-Fang, and the last one, she... She gave up and without problem and wants to, and I quote 'Quit being a mercenary, and return, err~ serve under the one she wronged', according to her leader's code." Royce explained to his Draconic parents only to earn crazed looks.

Cynder: "As much as I would HATE to say this... you CAN'T trust a mercenary, they're only in it for the money; they have no regards for rules, laws, regulations, or any of that!" Cynder says, coating her words with venom.

Royce: "Trust me mom, I can prove it too," Royce then brings out Kelly's Arabic Scimitars, "now then, mom, dad, what is a mercenary without his or her weapons? A free-lance soldier looking for a constant source of income."

Spyro: "O...K...? What's your... point?" Spyro asks before noticing that his son already left. "He... he already left, what's wrong with our child, Cynder?"

Cynder: "Important business, as usual..." Cynder deadpanned, making Spyro chuckle as a result. As Royce was leaving the War-Fang Academy, he began searching frantically for Tiffany as Royce then spotted Cynthia alongside the 13-year-old Dragoness.
