Swell Training

*Vibes and Sal point and laugh at her*

Vibes: You suck at this!

Sally: You should stop bothering!

Rena: NGh! I'm not giving up on you two! But I'm not letting you get the better of me like this! *struggling while their weights keep her down from sitting on rena.*

*Sal and Vibes laugh*

Sal: What can you do?

Vibes: You're a tiny and skinny little runt now!

Rena: > < *struggling as she ends up whining in her arms*

*Vibes and Sal disappear in a puff of smoke*

Rena: W...What?

*She looks and sees Sensei Mike*

Rena: Sensei Mike?

Mike: You are trying to do an honourable thing Rena. But here's the thing- pain
       doesn't disappear. And sometimes that means even the best of friends can
       lash out at each other.

*Rena slowly gets up, brushing herself off, and staring off at sensei mike.*

Rena: ... actually ... it's really an honor to meet you for the first time. I ... really don't know why you came to me though. I just learned that I have to knuckle down when I need to. If I don't, they're just gonna be at it again if I don't help them at least detour their thoughts from it.

*Mike smiles*

Mike: Yes- both Sal and Vibes are on their own journeys. You can't remove their weaknesses
        or how they react but you can guide them.

Rena: that's what I plan to do. I've had a good mentor. But...I imagine you can tell about my past since you're in my head.

*Mike nods*

Mike: Yes, I do know of your past. Just know that you face something very different here.

Rena: Yeah. To think the things that I grew up adoring are being used for such dark means.

*Mike nods*

Mike: Sad to say this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Rena: Only the tip? ... sensei Mike ... please tell me everything I need to know.

*Mike explains*

Mike: Mega Fox is the commander of the Consortium- fortunately the Zedites have
       been exiled but the Acid Dragons, Blobulites and Slobulons are still out there, plotting
       to take over.

*He sighs*

Mike: And then there's Romana, Sal and G's daughter. She was claimed by Mega Fox
        and turned into a cyborg vixen. We freed her but she needs her medication
        or she'll become enormously fat.

Rena: ... *she sighs.* it's terrible what mega fox is doing in the name of those factions. It's like there's no hope for planet earth.

*Mike sighs*

Mike: Sadly I fear he may have ambitions beyond merely serving the Consortium.

*rena's face lit up a little with thinking that. By then, her gaze went back to mike.*

Rena: wouldn't that be a weakness that can be exploited?

*Mike sighs*

Mike: For a creature, maybe. But Mega Fox is different. You are dealing with something
        literally calculating every move.

*Mike turns to Rena*

Mike: Point is the more support we can get the better. Just be ready to be challenged
       in ways you don't see coming.

Rena: I understand. *she bows.* I am willing to learn whatever you can teach me sensei. I am sure my own sensei would've agreed with the same thing.

*Mike bows to her*

Mike: Thank you.

*Rena wakes up*

Rena: *she yawns as she sees the coming dawn of the light. her smile kept on her face as she got up, brushing herself off.*

Rena: ... guess I'm back in training with them too.

The end.
