-Today we’re going to do something different. This building was made today just for that training. Your objective is to secure this building. There are going to be five of my clones inside the building. You can either knock them down or make them surrender. The choice is up to you. We have workers that can repair anything in an hour so you can damage the building but try to not destroy it. Does anyone have a question? No… Good. First up is squad LIMA.
After hearing that information Thomas straightened his posture and saluted. He was the only one trained to be a proper soldier from childhood. At first, it was only games with his father but when times became more dangerous his training became serious. Normally he would already be a soldier but since he has Esper powers he was sent for special training and ended up with the rest of the Espers in this class.
They had three minutes to check the building around from the outside. To examine the layout of the building and where the enemies might be standing. They were able to notice one enemy on the first floor and that there were two entrances to the building. Through the main, double doors that had the biggest room with basic furniture like tables, chairs, and sofas. There were stairs to the upper floor. This room was connected to a corridor that led to the back doors. There were two rooms connected to the corridor. One clone was standing on a watch in the big room.
Squad LIMA strategized before going in. They stood far away from anyone so no one could hear their ideas. They decided to enter through the main entrance. Sheila and Thomas leaned against the wall by each side of the door. Miriam stood two meters away from the door in a position ready to run inside.
-Ready? Three. Two. One.- Counted Thomas.
Thomas slightly opened the door and threw a light ball inside. A bright flash appeared inside that even made all the people watching close their eyes for a second. After that, Sheila kicked the door open. Miriam leaped forward with high speed. The clone was rubbing his eyes, blinded by the light. Miriam grabbed his face and with all her force and help with her ability, she smashed his head against the ground.
-Four clones left. Let’s first clear this floor. Some of them might be hiding in the rooms. Sheila and I are going to enter the room on the left while Miriam stands on the watch. Someone might leave the room while we enter the room.-Explained Thomas while he searched the clone for something. He smiled once he found it.
Before jumping into the room, Thomas leaned against the door from the side so his shadow wouldn’t be visible from under the door. He did the same thing with the other door. He pointed his thumb at the one he was standing by. This time he counted the time with his fingers.
Once he threw the ball of light, Thomas entered the room where stood a clone who covered his eyes with a hand. He wasn’t blinded but he didn’t see clearly. He pulled out a taser from his pocket but before he could even aim Thomas pulled his trigger. The thing that he took earlier was the taser.
-There are only three clones left. And now I have one more taser. You two check the other room. I don’t think anyone is there but we have to check and I have enough energy for one more flash orb. Don’t want to waste it yet.
-Okay. Let’s do it.- Said, Sheila.
Before she kicked the door open, sparks appeared around her leg and once she kicked the door they opened with a wave of warm air. Miriam jumped into the room and spread the air around. As Thomas predicted, no one was there.
-Ah… I was hoping that this skill would be useful… Warm air isn’t that pleasant for the eyes.
-Next time Sheila. Next time.- Said Miriam as she patted her friend on the back.
-Let’s go to the next floor. Miriam, you’ll be going in front. If they are going to use a taser you can just blow the wires away. Sheila will be behind you if they go for a frontal assault. I’ll be behind you with the taser ready. I can also use my light bullets to annoy them.
-Okay.- Both Miriam and Sheila agreed with that tactic.
They slowly walked up the stairs. Everyone was ready for an attack any second. Once they heard the creaking of wood they all looked up. Since no one was there they calmed down. Except for Thomas.
-Change of plans! Rush them!- Said Thomas as he threw his last light orb up the stairs.
After the blinding light went away, Miriam jumped onto the next floor with the help of her wind powers. Thomas and Sheila ran up the stairs to follow her. One of the clones fired his taser toward Miriam. She reacted in time and pushed the wires away with the wind. The second clone threw the taser to him and jumped Miriam. Before he reached her Thomas was able to fire his taser and hit the clone. Sheila threw a fireball at the clone that hid behind the table. After getting hit in the face the clone threw away the taser and placed his hands on his head.
-I surrender…
-Yes! We did it!- Said Sheila with excitement.
The girls began celebrating but Thomas was still on edge. On the second floor, there was only one almost empty room, and no one else was visible except for the five of them. He looked around for the last clone. In that time the clone that said he would surrender stood up and grabbed Miriam. Aiming the taser at her.
