Thomas was the first one to react and shoot a light bullet from his finger. He aimed for the clone's eyes. It worked because he realized Miriam. Sheila jumped the clone and with her fire kick knocked him down. At the same time, the last clone broke the window and jumped from the outside. Thomas was far away from his teammates. It looked like he was going to be knocked down leaving only Sheila and Miriam.
-Checkmate!- Shouted Thomas as he shot one more light bullet to blind the clone. While he was blinded he kicked it right in the jaw.- That makes all five of them. Now we did it.
All the clones disappeared into thin air. They were welcomed back by Lietunenat clapping. Lieutenant knew that with Thomas’ lead, they would succeed and even prepared one surprise to throw him off. He was an example of how it should be done.
-Good job LIMA. Since the only damage was the window and door the next squad can go in ten minutes. That squad will be…
-Me! Please me! I mean… US! Let ZONE next!- Said Ivan that couldn’t shake off his excitement.
-Uh… Fine. The next squad to go is ZONE.
When the repairs were finished they were given time to walk around the building and figure out the layout of the place. Ivan ignored that fact and began running toward the building.
-You guys go to the base floor! I’ll take the ones upstairs!
Ivan jumped high enough to smash the window and go into the upper floor. The three clones were definitely caught off guard giving a possibility for Ivan to land one punch without a problem. He punched the clone with a right hook in the side. It was a solid punch. After one punch it looked like the clone was hit again, even though Ivan didn’t touch him anymore.
Clone closest to Ivan reached for the taser and fired it. Ivan was surprised by the presence of that weapon but reacted in time. He grabbed the wire from the side and pulled it along with the clone. Once again he created a perfect opportunity for a good punch. This time he was able to land an uppercut.
-One left? I was hoping for more… Let us make the most out of what is left.
Ivan put his fist close to his face, he took a boxing position. It looked like the clone accepted his challenge since it left the cover and also took a boxing stance. They both slowly approached each other. Ivan went for a quick jab which was easily avoided since he is much smaller than the clone. Ivan got hit in the face but quickly recovered.
Ivan went on full offense and attacked the clone with a barrage of punches. The clone blocked all of the attacks but when Ivan stopped for a second he noticed something. His bones were broken in many places. He couldn’t hold them any longer and when he dropped them Ivan landed one last hit to the face.
-Now that was exhilarating! Maybe they aren’t finished yet down there! I’m coming! Leave something for me!
Once he came down he noticed two of his teammates sitting on the sofa, talking. Two clones were on the ground and one of them had wires from a taser wrapped around him.
-Ah… You didn’t leave anything for me?!
-You were the one who ordered us to take down the ones on the first floor. Besides you had three of them for yourself!- Pointed out Misha.
When they left the building they weren’t welcomed by a good gesture from the Lieutenant. Quiet the opposite. He had his eyes on Ivan who recklessly jumped there alone and left his squad.
-You achieved the goal but… Ivan! You fight well but this is squad training. Consider cooperating with your teammates. Misha and Levan had to work things out without their captain. At least the two of you worked together. Since only one window was destroyed we have room for one more test. Squad ZERO, you’re up.
They walked around the building like squad LIMA. Checking out the layout and the position of the enemy. Osir knew exactly where each one of the clones was by their heat signature. Usually, squads would start from the bottom but Osir had a different plan. With Nolan’s strength, Osir got to the roof. Emilie was the second to get there because she also needed help from Nolan to get there and at first she was against that idea. When Nolan got to the roof he watched Osir crawling around the roof touching it.
-What are you doing?- Asked Nolan.
-Trying to find the weakest place where they are standing.
-Okay… You can see them?
-Not see but I can feel their heat. Right under me there are two of them and it seems like this is the best spot. When I give you the signal, punch this place.
-You crazy? That will hurt my hands.
-Not really. I’ll weaken the roof to the state that it will crumble to pieces with your punch.
Osir was raising and lowering the temperature rapidly at the place where his hands were. By doing that he was weakening the structure of the cement. Osir stood up and took a few steps back.
-Get ready. There are three of them and when we destroy the roof, two clones will be directly under the hole. The third one is that way. Near the wall.- Said Osir as he pointed the direction
-What are you doing?- Asked Nolan when he noticed that Emilie's nails began to grow.
-That’s my only weapon for now. Better than nothing.
-Kinda creepy, kinda cool.
-Alright. Go, Nolan.
Nolan punched the place that Osir pointed and as he said the cement crumbled after his punch. He wasn’t exactly ready for it and he fell through the hole. Osir jumped after him and slowly after Emilie joined them. Nolan fell on one clone while Osir knocked out the second. Osir quickly picked up the ruble and threw it at the clone's face. Before he could do anything Osir knocked him down.
-Ouch… There are gonna be bruises on me for sure.- Said Nolan as he massaged his butt cheeks.
-Show me your arm.- Said Emilie as she grabbed Nolan’s arm.
-Ouch. Ouch. What are you trying to do?
-Heal your injury. Thank me later with a drink haha.
Nolan’s torn skin on his elbow began to heal and after a few seconds, there was only blood scab left on the surface of his skin. Nolan began to touch it curiously.
-It isn’t fully healed but that’s all I can do with my current power level.
-Okay. I’ll buy you that soda later. This sure is helpful. It would be so annoying with that injury.
