I take a moment to analyze the weapons they looked real especialy atached to the metal shelves they were on. I then walk up to the nearest bladed weapon, a dagger of somekind, and ran it softly against my left pinky finger. I started seeing blood even before I felt the light pain from the small prick "Apparently they're sharp so dont mess around." I anounced to the not paying attention curious Dalmation. after a few seconds he replied with "Did he ever say how many we could take?" I then think to myself and said, "No, but even so dont run in there with a houndred pounds of crap your probably no good with."

He then points out that there were actualy four 30ft thin chains I grabed two of them and both of the random bags that were small enough to at least fit a revolver. and all the other weapons and laid them all out in lines on the floor other than the chains which he wrapped around both his forearms I just threw mine around my neck for the time being as we took inventory of what we found on the tricky reflective platforms they were on so there was only: 2 Katana, 2 bags still uncertain of its contents, 4 chains , A large 5ft long sword with Zabuza scratched into the handle, 2 2.5ft long curved daggers, 2 metal gloves with a 2ft blade that comes from above the fingers, a bo-staff, a hook atached to the end of a chain, what looks like a long thin needle with thin wire coming out of the handle, and a tri-bladed sythe.

I open the bags to reveal that they held 4 Senbon each, Which if you dont know basicaly throwable thick needles. I grabbed both bags, The hook and chain, the tri-bladed sythe, and The gloves. He grabbed the 5ft behemoth, The daggers, and The 2 Katana. I sigh as he held them so un confortably then I noticed his jumpsuit had a thick strap with a button in the middle on his back, Around his hips he had a sheath on each side and apropriatly lengthed for the 2 Katana, and two more straps around the back of his shoulders. I then looked at my hips where I found two loops on each side to fit the straps on my bags. and felt around my back were I found a thick but thinner in width but much longer buttoned strap on my back.

I then started shaking as I realized the suits were learning to adapt to our bodys and suroundings which right as I was going to tell Kodi the speaker came again that said, "Well I see the suits have modified themselves well."I replied slightly angry "What are you doing?" the speaker replied swiftly "Well we got ourselves a fiesty one anyway the suits can only adapt to the weapons we gave you but later you wont need these weapons or the suits, but for now finish up and go into the training room." Another set of doors open as the speaker continues with "When your done press the button in front of your neck and the test will begin."

I pick up my weapons aligning them where needed replacing all the Senbon into one bag and the hook and chain in the empty one, Putting the sythe in its place, and Put the gloves on before practicing un-sheathing and sheathing. Kodi placed the Behemoth on his back, Daggers on his shoulders, and The Katana on his hips and then followed my example in the sheathing/Un-sheathing process. After a while we both press our butons as we enter the room lighted only by blacklights. What we saw we will never forget.

Half the room full of furs charging us with thier swords drawn. I then jumped onto Kodi's sword launching me as he swung it. I flew into the crowd sythe ready as I start swinging it and dodging attacks. 1,2,3,4... dodge 5....6,7,8 As I notice me and Kodi getting a little to close so I resheath the sythe and start using my gloves. 9,10,dodge,clash weapons and reverse it,11. _I do a backflip barely dodging Kodi and his huge behemoth as he spins in a circle lawn mowing a good number down. He then looses too much energy so he throws the sword, Again almost hitting me mowing more down he pulls the daggers out and starts working on a big group as I stick with my gloves. _12,13,14,15, got hit One of the ones I was finishing off cutt my chest leaving me bleeding as I cut his throat I get up and start spin tagging the circle of them around me. 16,17,dodge,18,dodge,dodge19,20,21,22 My bladed gloves then conect with Kodi's daggers as we realize we were the only ones left covered in blood from what we just did. I noticed he had a cut on his upper thigh and upper arm

Then the speaker spoke again. "Well done, You didnt even blink at the sight of killing all of them, Not even slowing down, How animalistic." we then both seperated and fell to our knees, Kodi resheathed his daggers then the speaker spoke again "Tell me, How does it feel to be a monster?" we both went pale at the thought. I muttured "You.... You are the one who sent them to kill us we just defended ourselves." the speaker sounded back "Thats what they're "programed" to do." Kodi then reached toward one of the dead bodies and smelt the fluid from the wound and said "But this is real blood." the speaker replied "Now feel inside for its heart." I nodded at him to get him to go on with it. He nodded back and took out one of the daggers. He cut the flesh off around the diaphram and felt inside throwing-up at the site of doing it and feeling the insides of it. He then pulled out a candy heart shapped usb drive about the size of a human heart. He then whipped the vomit from his mouth on his sleeve after putting the blade back. I the asked the speaker "What kinda sick joke is this?" It replied "Training you to kill or be killed these 60 where set on 20% but you passed the test, pat your self on the back." as he finished the sentence a door opened in a far corner of the room then it spoke again "That's the shower room we have clothes set out for you inside. along with a friend of yours." Not even noticing what im doing I jumped up and run in to see another familiar face.
