~Chiro's POV~
It was a quiet day today. Skeleton King has made no threats as of late. So Antauri thought we'd stay prepared with more training exercises. Snow and I were in Hypermode.
Snow volunteered to control the simulations. She seems a little more chipper than usual. Just yesterday, she looked really tired. She hasn't been sleeping very well since... Well... You know...
"Hyperforce, prepare for battle." Antauri told us, then looked over to Snow, "Shouko, training level 6."
Snow nodded, "No problem, Antauri. Level 6 initiating."
She pushed a switch and a red cannon appeared on the wall. It shot at us.
"Look out!" Sparx alarmed, as we jumped out of the way.
More weapons appeared from the walls and were ready to attack.
"Sparx, get down!" Nova shouted, tackling Sparx to the ground, dodging a claw from behind.
Sparx chuckled, "You'd do anything to get close to me, wouldn't you, Nova?"
Nova gave him a look, then pushed him away from laser-fire. The Monkeys and I made quick work avoiding and taking out the weapons.
Shouko laughed with a smile, "This is too much fun."
"Second wave coming!" Otto shouted, as he summoned his saws, "Here we go!"
Blue laser guns popped out of the wall and fired at us. Otto swung his saws at the guns and weapons, slicing them into chunks. A big piece of a claw landed on top of Gibson's head.
"Could you aim your attacks with a tad bit more control, Otto?" Gibson asked Otto.
Otto just scratched his head with a sheepish look. Then Shouko did something with the control console and multiple weapons appeared and attacked us.
"Uh-oh..." Sparx uttered, then jumped away, as a blast of fire aimed for him.
"Shouko! You've activated level 10!" Antauri shouted at her.
A rocket flew toward him, but Antauri jumped out of the way and dodged another attack.
Shouko just smiled and laughed, "Whoohoo! This is awesome!"
I was able to jump away from a blast of laser-fire, but a claw caught me and deeply scratched my arm. A large morning star almost landed on Nova and Gibson.
"I'll handle this." Sparx spoke up.
He used his magnets to switched the difficulty to level 0. The weapons retreated back to where they came from.
"What are you doing?!" Sparx asked Shouko.
Shouko giggled, "Come on. It was just a practical joke. No harm done."
"A practical joke that could've annihilated us all." Gibson pointed out.
"Don't be a wimp, Gibson." Nova spoke up, "She's just keeping us on our toes."
