Experiments: The Falling and Rising of The Phoenix Vol. 2

Chapter one, Hidden???

"Okay that makes sense. If we figure this out, we can figure out how to better use them." Paige murmured to herself, "Exactly good observation Aige." AJ said looking at her "Okay now that we have that settled everyone can go." Jordan says waving his hand, everyone walks out and disperses. "You heard that?"??? "Yes, ma'am we'll commence operation Destroy AJ and the rest in two days." A guard reports "Good."???

The next morning,

As the sun rises and shines through the abandoned building AJ, Azeal, Nellius and DJ spar. Dash, CHHHING CHING, Nellius teleports away then... CHING! "Gah!" AJ yells, katana flies out of his hands. (I can't read him; he keeps teleporting around.) AJ thinks while getting targeted by all sides, Azeal gets ready to fire at AJ as Nellius hits him from every angle. 

The day before,

"AJ, you need to figure out how to use your senses." Nellius points out, "I get that but it's easier said than done. I've always had this weird sense, remember when we were playfighting when we were kids and we bumped into the bookshelf and we almost got crushed by it." AJ states uncrossing his hand and moving it. "Yea that is when that sense appears you moved us out the way without knowing how." Nellius says as he passes back and forth, (I wonder how we could figure it out.) Nellius thinks furrowing his brows, (Oh for goodness's sake.) Azeal Chucks a knife at AJ, As AJ was focusing not realizing it was about to hit him... Dodge, Whizz... CHING! "WHAT THE HELL MAN!?!" AJ frantically yelling at Azeal, "Aye it worked, didn't it?" Azeal says as he shrugs.

Back to the present,

AJ kneels down, (Focus AJ, feel, smell, taste, hear, root yourself in this very moment.) AJ thinks as the bullet whizzes towards him and Nellius is about to strike him again, right before Azeal's bullet and Nellius are about to hit AJ. AJ vanishes then appears behind Nellius and grabs his arm then throws him at Azeal, "Woah how did you?!" Azeal says as he dodges Nellius, Nellius teleports next to Azeal then says, "Good Job AJ, but let's see how long you can dodge everything. Azeal turns up the heat." Azeal cricks his neck while smirking, "That I can do hmph." Azeal reconstructs his sniper into multiple drones and his two signature assault rifles. "Let's test this new ability!" Azeal yells as his drone swarms right above AJ and bullets rain, but to no avail as AJ effortlessly dodges each bullet with precision and increased speed. The bullets come to a halt and then ZIP! SLASH! (Got him.) Nellius thinks while smirking but as he turns around (It was an after image then...) AJ appears behind Nellius then punts him across the arena.

Blood starts to trickle down AJ's nose as his legs give out on him and he starts to breathe heavily. "Okay that's enough for today AJ seems like me and you have reached our limits for today." Nellius says as he looks at his shaky hands. "Hey Aige." Azeal radios over, "What's up Azeal?" Paige radios back, "Um...Well.... We kinda, sorta pushed AJ a little over his limit and now he can't walk and is heavy breathing." Azeal says sweat drips down his forehead as he looks away, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU TWO NOT TO DO!!!" Paige screams through the radio, the volume blaring through Azeal radio. "Okay, Okay but like in my defense it was his idea." Azeal says as he laughs while his face slowly pales, "What's so funny Azeal?" Paige asks, "Nothing ma'am nothing at all." "Better not be, I'll be over shortly to pick up AJ and Nellius." Paige says with agitation in her voice, "I am okay no need to come pick me up." Nellius says "Did I ask?" Paige replies, "No but that's not your decision whether I need your help or not." Nellius states his eyes narrowing and voice deepening.

When Paige finally arrived with the stretcher AJ's nose was leaking blood like a faucet and his leg muscles had small tears throughout them. "Jeez AJ, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!" Paige yells as she grabs his ear and pulls him onto the stretcher, "OW OW OW OW! Aige calm down." AJ says as he tries to pull her hand away. "NO BECAUSE WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT INJURING YOURSELF!?!" Paige says as she pulls the stretcher with his ear, Azeal and Nellius look at each other than Azeal says "Like Aige is amazing and all but when she's mad is another story heh." "Yea you could say that but at least we know she cares about him you know." Nellius states as he gestures with his hand, "Well we've always knew that she's in love with him after all." Azeal says casually as Nellius looks at him in shock, "SHE'S IN LOVE WITH HIM!?!" Nellius asks, jaw dropping, "Well yea it is pretty obvious, honestly I thought you knew that much." Azeal says as he walks towards the doors of the training arena.

(Now that I think about it that would make a lot of sense...) Nellius thinks before walking to the doors of the training arena.
