~~~CHAPTER 18~~~

"Okay, this is it. You girls ready? We've only got a little time and a LOT to cover."

"I'm ready" Kyla answered.

"Me too." Cali added. "Are you ready, Greg?"

As they spoke, their hands were glowing light blue and dark red respectively, a sign that they were prepared to use her powers to the fullest. Not every hybrid's powers manifest that way, but for some, it's a sign that they're strong. VERY strong. I already saw what Cali could do, even if she wasn't herself, but I was beginning to think that Kyla had hidden potential she never tried to bring out.

Well, that changes today.

"I sure hope so. I've never really taught anyone anything about superpowers I don't have, but I'm going to try my hardest. You'll both be ready for tomorrow after I'm done with you, one way or another."

The three of us were standing outside in the cool morning breeze, ready for action. Cali and Kyla both seemed nervous, but I could tell that once we got things rolling, they'd lighten up and hopefully even enjoy themselves after seeing what their abilities can really do.

"First off, we'll start with something simple; letting the power come out of your body. Kyla, I know you can already do this, but if we're going to switch you from defense to offense, you need to do it slightly differently. And you, Cali, can't do this at all yet, right?"

"Ehhhhh... Nope" she answered sheepishly. "I can make my hands glow red and heat up, but that's about it."

"No problem, Cali, because you're in luck. If I'm right, then Kyla uses her powers in the same way as you would, so she can probably tell you how to let them out. For me and my abilities it's kinda different, so we'll try this first." I turned my attention to Kyla. "Do you think you can show her what to do?"

Kyla shrugged. "I'll explain it as best as I can, but no guarantees. After you do it for so long, it just becomes natural and you don't even think about it." She put her hands out, facing away from me, and motioned for Cali to do the same. "Here's what I do. I take a deep breath and focus on my body, specifically around my mid-section. I can't describe it, but it feels like the power lives and grows inside of there constantly, and all you really have to do is direct it to your hands. Again, it's indescribable for the most part, so just concentrate and you'll make fire in no time."

"You got all that, Cali?" I asked.

"I... I think so" she replied, though the shakiness in her voice told me otherwise.

Kyla took over again before I could say anything. "All right then. On the count of three, we're going to both tap into that power well and let some of it out. Ready?"

Cali sighed deeply. "No, but I'm going to try it anyway. I know this'll take all day, but I wanna do you guys proud... Start the countdown."

I took a few steps back, just for God-knows-what.

"Okay. One... Two... Three!"

Instantly, Kyla shot a solid beam of ice from her hands that traveled quite a distance before dissipating, while Cali, despite looking like she was concentrating very hard, only managed to make a faint smoke trail appear. She groaned in despair upon seeing the fruitlessness of her efforts, prompting Kyla to cancel her attack and grab Cali's shoulders to try and motivate her.

"Come on, you can do this" she said. "Nobody gets it right the first time, just keep trying. Don't get discouraged."

Cali turned to me, hoping to hear my own words of inspiration. I simply nodded and said "Listen to her, Cali. Try it again." She planted her feet, and gave it another go. This time, a small flame appeared to come out of her hand, signifying progress, however small it may be.

She's getting it, but this is gonna be a loooooong day...

After an entire hour had passed, Cali managed to get the basics down and was able to launch small, yet very hot and powerful napalm balls a considerable distance. Several times she looked like she was going to give up, but I had confidence in my former girlfriend, as did Kyla.

"Okay, here's what we'll do next, now that you can both attack." I pointed to a large rock formation to the right of where we were standing. "See that big rock over there? I want the both of you to try and hit it right in the middle with everything you've got. Just so I can get a feel of what your attacks look like at their fullest. Kyla, you go first."

She turned to the rock and fired another ice beam that hit it dead-on, but was seriously lacking in firepower.

"No, no, no, Kyla. It can't be a weak beam like that; you have to make it a blast of ice. Something that'll hit hard and intimidate at the same time."

Kyla seemed to understand, but still looked uneasy. "Are you sure, Greg? You're sure that that's the way to go?"

"Sure I'm sure" I replied. "Remember, once you start putting the pressure on your enemies, there'll be nothing to be afraid of. They will be too busy running from you."

That made her look a little less apprehensive. "Okay. For the two of you, and for my own sake, I'm gonna give this all... I've... GOT!"

On 'got', Kyla charged her energy and threw a shining sphere of frozen crystals straight at the target, which exploded on contact and encased most of the rock and those around it in ice. Once the three of us got a better look, we saw that the rock was not only frozen, but impaled with icicles at numerous points, showing just how strong this attack really was. Kyla was stunned at her raw power, as were Cali and I, but all three of us remained impressed nevertheless.

I walked over to Kyla and patted her on the back. "Now just keep doing that every time instead of the ice beam."

~~~

Having gotten the tough parts out of the way, the rest of the day seemed to fly by pretty quickly. Once Cali and Kyla had their basic attacks down and were able to fire them at will, the real training began. For Kyla, I gave her a description of my fight with Smith and his former unnamed ally, and suggested she try to use her cryokinesis to propel herself in a similar way to what they did. By carefully aiming and firing at the ground, Kyla was able to do just that. She could launch herself about fifteen feet in the air at the maximum, and also developed a way to land safely. From there, she spent some time practicing with chaining her ice blasts with her aerial acrobatics, while I helped Cali grasp her powers.

Humorously, when she tried, just on a whim, to launch herself off the ground in the same manner as Kyla did, Cali discovered that physical contact with the ground is what creates the binding oil-like substance. All she had to do was touch a concrete or rocky surface, focus the power into her hands, and control the direction and amplitude with her mind. Oddly enough, this took her much less time to perfect than the basics. I couldn't begin to fathom why, but I wasn't going to argue with the progress she was making.

That just left Cali's big game-changing ability; teleportation. I didn't know how to go about teaching her how to do it at first, but it was Kyla that suggested I incorporate my speed boosting abilities into the lesson. After carefully explaining my methods of flitting short distances, Cali gave it a go, and surprisingly managed to pull it off rather quickly. However small the odds seemed to be, both my and her abilities are triggered the same way. I didn't care; I was only thankful that I didn't have to spend more time giving her advice that may or may not have worked.

By this point, we were approaching the ten hour mark, and had to finish up while we had the daylight. For their final test, the three of us moved to the makeshift obstacle course from last week. I spent a few minutes modifying it to suit our needs; converting it from a purely gymnastic course to one with a focus on both athleticism and target practice. To prove that they've learned enough from me and each other today, Cali and Kyla will have to run through this course side by side and use their abilities to maneuver throughout the entire thing, as well as hitting all the targets with blasts of fire and ice.

And just to be fair, I'm only giving them 60 seconds.

"READY!?" I shouted from the finish line, stopwatch in hand. The two leopardesses stood at the starting line, set to charge in and prove their mettle. They both gave me a quick thumbs-up, and prepared to run.

"On the count of three! One... Two... THREE!"

Thirty-seven seconds and one destroyed obstacle course later, Cali and Kyla made it to the finish line without missing a single target and without skipping any hurdles. They were sweating and out of breath, but the look of satisfaction in their eyes told me it was all worth it. I walked over to my girls and hugged them both, placing myself in the middle between them. Almost as if on cue, they both kissed me on the cheek at the same time, showing their gratitude for the day's work. I sighed with joy, finding myself feeling luckier than usual to have these women in my life.

"Congratulations, girls. You're ready."

~~~

All right, tomorrow's the big day... Gotta get some sleep...Hopefully uninterrupted sleep this time...

I wearily trudged back to my room, dead tired but fully satisfied with the events of the day. After we were finished with training, the three of us grabbed a quick dinner before going our separate ways; Kyla to make plans with her teammates, Cali to help Curtis with one final task, and me to have some free time to myself for a change.

In a weird way, I felt like the three of us did more connecting today than ever before. Through my lessons, I've shown Kyla how much I care about her and her well-being, and I've shown Cali how much I'm willing to help her overcome a large handicap. I know I've scored plenty of points with both of them today, but in the back of my mind I know it still won't make my final decision any easier.

If only I could clone myself... Heh, that doesn't seem too hard for HAC to figure out... Wait, even if I did that, I'd STILL have to make a choice... Not like I would be any different with another Greg around...

Uuuuugh... This is my brain on sleep deprivation...

I finally got back to my room and opened the door, ready to plop onto my bed and slip into sweet unconsciousness, once again not bothering with my clothes since I wasn't wearing my armor. But instead of that, upon walking into the room I was greeted by something I haven't seen in a very long time. And I mean a VERY long time.

"Hey, you! I was wondering when you'd come back. Kyla had you to herself last night, but now it's my turn. And I'm in the mood for thanking you properly for everything you've shown me today."

Cali. On my bed. Posing on my bed. Wearing a bra and panties so skimpy that I didn't have to use my imagination.

My eyes snapped wide open. "Uhhhh, Cali, hey... Wow..."

She was smiling from ear to ear, and readjusted her pose to make the exact nature of this little visit clearer than it was ten seconds ago. "I hope you're not too tired after a long day of teaching us how to kick ass, because now mine needs some attention."

I chose to stare at her dumbfounded rather than respond. She saw this and blushed. "Eheheheh... Yeah, corny, I know. Oh come on, you've used much lamer pickup lines in the past and you know it."

Sigh. Sadly, she's right about that... Well, at least I'm fully awake now.

I shut the door behind me. "Look, Cali, I can't... I can't do this; it wouldn't be fair to Kyla. I feel like I'd be betraying her if I slept with you."

Unsurprisingly, Cali's sexy smile didn't falter; my words seemed to bounce right off her. Instead, she got up and walked over to me in a way that complimented her expression of total lust. The kind of stride that would make most men's knees turn to jelly if they'd never seen it from her before. Pinning me against the wall, Cali wrapped her arms loosely around my neck and pushed me into a deep, loving kiss before I could do anything to stop her. But there was nothing rough about her actions this time, unlike the way we used to make love to each other. This was different... very calm and non-animalistic. Different, yet just as mind-blowing as her normal routine. But all things considered, NOTHING to complain about, even if my sense of morality was going into overdrive. Her lips... Her tongue... They still felt like they were just MEANT to intertwine with my own.

I let it continue for a whole minute before coming back down to earth and breaking the kiss off, though a line of drool still connected our mouths. I stared into Cali's eyes, trying to get a sense of what she must be thinking, but every time I tried to speak, words just wouldn't come out. Her kiss left me absolutely breathless.

Luckily, she picked up on this and decided to do the talking for me while gently rubbing the side of my face. "Greg, it's okay, don't worry. Right after the three of us finished training earlier, Kyla pulled me aside and told me that last night and this afternoon meant so much to her that I could have a free pass. A free pass to do anything I want with you tonight. She said she wants everything to be equal between us, and realized that me and you haven't, well... done anything in over a year. I even flat out asked her: 'Can I have sex with him?' just to be sure. And she said yes, Greg. Technically, neither of us is in a relationship with you right now, so it's not cheating. It's you being the luckiest guy in the world for one night."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This is literally what EVERY guy in a committed relationship wants from time to time, and I've suddenly got it. But still... Kyla... Can I be sure that Cali's not lying to me about this? I mean, she loves me, that hasn't changed at all. But going this far for sex? Is she really capable of doing that to me, or is Kyla really allowing me a night of guilt-free pleasure? Or am I just overthinking this whole thing?

While I was wrapped up in my thoughts, Cali rested her head on my chest, drawing small circles on my front with her finger. But when she pushed her upper body against mine once again, harder this time, I couldn't help but moan at how good her breasts felt pressed against my chest. It made her laugh, seeing just how much I wanted her to stay like that. "So whaddayou say, hon? Can we go back to the way things were, just for one night?"

Right in the nick of time, I found my voice. "There's no way out of this, is there?" I asked Cali.

"Nope. Even if you try and run, I can teleport, cut you off, and trap you in oil. And I'd leave everything below your waist free. Because I can totally do that now."

Glad to see some of my sarcasm rubbed off on her over the years.

I sighed deeply, my fate sealed for better or worse. "Okay, Cali. We'll do it tonight, but---"

"Yay!"

"---But... Let me finish. If we do this, I am going to tell Kyla about it. And if she feels hurt or betrayed, regardless of what you two talked about, then it would not only over between me and her, but for me and you as well. Okay?"

She looked me in the eye and nodded, shifting from joyful to serious. "I understand, Greg. Completely. But I'm telling you, it won't come to that. I want you, but I also want it to be fair for everyone. I'd never do this if Kyla wasn't cool with it. And to remind you, you haven't had your way with me in quite a long time."

That decided it. I hugged Cali and caressed the back of her head, ready to give her what she and myself really wanted. I still had doubts, but they were outweighed by my confidence in Cali's words. This can't be wrong. It just can't be...

"I love you, Cali. No matter what happens, I always will."

"I love you too, Greg. I love you so much..."

Holding back a tear, I leaned in and kissed her back in the same way she did to me; slow and passionate. She wrapped her arms and legs around me, moaning softly while we kissed deeper and deeper. Other than a few minutes ago, I haven't kissed her this much since we removed her mental conditioning, so I did my best to savor every moment of it. I walked us over to my bed, where Cali broke contact just long enough to lie back down in a welcoming position, offering her whole self to me once again. I crawled onto the bed and placed myself on top of her and, feeling a little kinky, decided to rip her bra off with my teeth. Her already perfect breasts definitely grew during the transformation, but once again I wasn't complaining after seeing these new ones for the first time.

She was shocked, but in the best possible way and only because she didn't see it coming. She giggled and forced my head down into her bosom, where I took my sweet time giving those big, furry orbs all the attention they deserved. I licked, bit, groped and suckled for what seemed like an eternity, making Cali moan and convulse more and more.

"Uuuuuuungh... Oh God, Greg... You were always an animal in bed, but now--- OOOH! YES!!!" She screamed in delight as one of my hands found her nether region and started playing with it ever so slowly. "Show me what that new body of yours can REALLY do! Make me feel like a woman!"

I poked my head out of her cleavage to quickly correct her with a smartass smile on my face. "Hybrid woman, silly."

She groaned and forced my head right back down. "Shut up and fuck me, wise guy..."

~~~

Now, Harry's woken me up in some pretty unnecessarily annoying ways before, but barging into my room at eight in the morning and badly singing a Lonely Island song was a new all-time high.

"Harry, I swear to God, if you keep singing, I---"

"Greg just had SEEEEEEEEEX! And it felt SO GOOD! So good! Cali let him put his---"

"Harry, you perv, get outta here!" Cali said as she covered her chest and chucked her pillow at Harry, who teleported out of the way before getting hit. But there was laughter in her voice, indicating that she wasn't really mad at him at all. Clearly, she saw the amusement he did in waking us up like this and I didn't. As Harry re-materialized on the other side of the room, he started laughing too. He's just lucky I love hearing the sound of Cali's laughter...

"Gotta be faster than that, Miss Greenlaw" he taunted.

"My napalm balls are that fast, but I don't feel like setting anyone on fire right now" Cali responded matter-of-factly. "But I still don't have much of a grasp on the whole teleportation thing, though. I can do it, but it feels kinda... I dunno, shaky. Maybe you can help me with improving it later?"

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, sure, ask him for help and not me?"

Cali giggled and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "No offense, but you can't teleport, sweetie. I'm grateful for yesterday and all, but having Harry help me with this makes much more sense."

"Fair enough" I replied before turning my attention to Harry. "Sooooo... What's going on out there?" I asked him. "Everyone's getting ready, huh? I should probably go get Kyla up soon, too."

"Evan said he'd wake up Kyla, so you don't have to worry about that. But yeah, Francis, Ross, and the other leaders are gathering everyone together and getting everything organized."

"It's time?" Cali asked.

"It's time" Harry replied. "This is it, kids. We're moving out..."
