6 Memory Five: Dreams, extra training, and a weird occurrence.

Will was having yet another weird dream, but this time he was running down the beach chasing after Eevi with Lily, Leona, Jacob, and three others close behind. It seemed as if they were playing tag, Eevi ran into the water shouting a name and the person in the dream chased after her. As soon as he hit the water it all went to black. Will awoke with a jolt, he didn't know what to do so he got up, made some toast, and got dressed. Then after eating he headed out to the usual spot.

When he entered through the secret door he saw Lily, Leona, and Jacob happily sitting there talking. "Hey guys, what's up for today?" Will asked as he sat down. Lily looked over at him "Well we were thinking of maybe heading in for some extra training today." Lily replied seeing as the others were too slow to respond. "OK, sounds great." Will said as he and Jacob gave one look to each other then burst out the door to race to the new training building like they always did on training days as a friendly competition.

Lily stayed back with Leona walking after the boys. "So, you still think they are hot-heads?" Leona asked giggling a bit. "Yeah, of course they are. But they are our hot-heads. So we can't complain too much about 'em." Lily replied as they got closer to the building. When they finally arrived, Will and Jacob were arguing about who won the race. "Boys, BOYS!" Lily shouted getting their attention. "Let's settle it by coin toss." Lily said as she pulled one out from her pocket then flipped the coin high into the air. "Heads!" Jacob called. Lily caught the coin and looked at it. "Well??" Will and Jacob asked in unison. "Well Will won. Its tails." Lily said surprising them with a grin. "Yes!" Will shouted with a victorious fist pump as he lead them all into the training building, Jacob of course followed them all inside last since he lost the toss.

"Hello Team M. The object of today's extra training is to make it to the end of the course and claim the object at the end. Begin whenever you are ready." An automated female voice greeted them all as they entered the training room after changing into their team uniform in the locker rooms. Since the professors were on break as well then they just left the schools resident AI to run the training room. This time the training room set up was way different, a large obstacle course was set up from one end to the other. This course included a simple vertical wall to climb over, a small pond to get across, a rope climb up to a zipline, and a seemingly blank space at the end before a pedestal that held an apple.

"Alright guys we can do this easily." Jacob told them as he lead the way over to the vertical wall then turned himself around and got into a position where he could help vault the others over the wall. Lily being her normal seemingly fearless self vaulted over first with the boost from jacob, landing softly on the other side by using a gust of air to hover herself down. Leona was after her of course and vaulted perfectly even landing with a roll on the other side. Will came last and landed on top of the wall purposefully. He then proceeded to hold his hand out for Jacob to grab which the other male did after a quick sprint and run up the wall. He clasped onto Wills hand allowing Will to pull him up and over the wall with him, both landed safely on the other side.

Next came the small pool of water. The other end of which seemed rather close, but actually was farther than any of them realized. "Don't worry I got this." Leona told them as she moved in front of her friends and made a few sweeping hand motions slowly creating a bridge of ice using her powers. "Wow! I never knew you could make ice Leona!" Lily shouted excitedly as they all moved across the bridge slowly as it was made. "Well you never asked. Plus it takes a lot out of me to create it since I haven't practised doing it in so long" Leona told her as they cleared that part of the course all making it to the other side safely.

Leona had to stop briefly as she was panting from exerting so much energy, The team waited for her to recover before moving on. Next up came the rope climb, which Lily and Jacob skipped by boosting themselves up to the zipline platform with their powers. Lily used a jet of air to hover herself up there and Jacob used a quick burst of fire from his hands/feet to get himself up. Will and Leona however were left to climb it slowly since they had no way to propel themselves up fully. Only when they started to climb it did they wish they hadn't. As soon as they reached the halfway point up the rope, arrows started to fire from the walls at them. "Oh crap! We could use some help here!" Will shouted up to his friends as he and Leona climbed quickly.

Jacob and Lily started to knock the arrows out of the air with gusts of wind and fireballs respectively to make sure their friends didn't get hurt. As soon as Will and Leona scrambled their way to the top, the arrows stopped firing. "Well that was surprising. Wonder what's next?" Leona panted as they all looked down the zipline to where the apple waited on the pedestal. They all stood there a moment catching their breath as well as thinking of a plan to get the apple. The zipline went right over it, but they knew it would be too easy if they could just drop down and grab it. "I know, I'll take the zipline and see what I can find out, If anything happens I can cut the wire and float to safety." Lily told them as she waited to hear her teammates thoughts. "That sounds like a plan to me, If anything I can shoot down anything that comes at you and Will can stop anything else." Jacob told her as he received nods from Will and Leona signifying that they agreed with the plan.

Lily gave them all a smile as she got herself hooked into the zipline prepared to start. With a push from her comrades Lily moved swiftly down the line, and of course the problem with getting the apple showed itself. Metal pillars quickly moved out of the walls and moved to squish her, but Will blocked them from doing so using telekinesis holding them in place allowing Lily to slide on through the gap. Next up though came arrows firing from the walls, but Jacob shot those down with precise sweeping fireballs allowing her to clear that danger. By now she was almost over the apple, but one last unexpected danger presented itself. The floor around the pedestal holding the apple slid open to reveal a giant pit with spikes at the bottom of it.

"That's so cliche!" Lily shouted as she now had no idea what to do since she couldn't possibly land on the tiny pedestal to get the apple, and the point in which she would need to jump was coming up quickly. All of the sudden a large amount of water in a squared shape appeared in the air above the pedestal. "Thanks Leona!" Lily shouted as she let go of the zipline and dropped into the water, the water cushioned her fall as she dived through it to the pedestal grabbing the apple. The water fell around her once Lily was standing on the pedestal as Leona couldn't hold that amount of water there anymore. A loud buzzer sounded and the floor around the pedestal formed as "Test complete, please return to the locker rooms at this time" came from a familiar male voice in the control room.

"Oh, I guess someone was here after all" Jacob mused as he looked towards the control room windows. Will looked that way as well but couldn't make out who was in there at all, though he wasn't too concerned as he helped Leona get down from the platform.

The three of them still up the zipline met up with Lily before the locker room doors and exchanged high fives. "Great job you four, that was a great display of ability." Artemus said as he came down from the control room. "Yo professor A! you were still here?" Jacob shouted to him as he approached with a hand raised for a high five. Lily and Leona each took a step behind the boys, they couldn't put a finger on it but Artemus always made them nervous even though he was only slightly older than them. "Yes, myself and professor Damian are still here to keep an eye on students as well as the school grounds over the summer." Artemus told Jacob while pushing his glasses up on his nose. "Oh I see, makes sense then." Will spoke up as he had been contemplating on who had to be keeping a watch on the school grounds for a while. Though when he looked into Artemus's eyes Will instantly got a headache as if he was having deja vu. "You always did look at me like that" Will said quiet yet almost painfully. Artemus's eyes went wide for a second but he composed himself with a cough and quickly motioned for them all to move along and change with a quick "Well enjoy the rest of your evening." Artemus said as he turned away from them.

The students moved into the locker rooms to change after that then went off towards their dorms chatting about the obstacle course they just did. As they went off Artemus turned to the other figure in the training room who had come in from the control room. "Did you hear that?" he asked the figure. "Yeah I did, he seemed to remember." Damian said as he walked up to Artemus. "I guess he did. Though it more seemed like he pulled the memory from somewhere else than remembered it." Artemus told him as each of them gave the other a puzzled look. Both of them moved to a lobby room and grabbed coffee, they had more work to do besides making sure the students didn't kill themselves in the training room. The last test was a bit much for their level, especially the last part, so Artemus needed to tweak that while Damian tested it out. This would be the rest of their day as they had nothing else to do, well nothing except making sure students stayed out of trouble.
