open Mercenaries

simon returned with a sheet of paper in his hands. "well i just got the test back and....." simon stopped becuase he noticed that coral was to out of it to listen to him, "look's like i am going to have to give you the booster" simon reached out of his pocket and took out another shot, taking it and put it in coral, "there better?"

[Uri 7]

Physically Coral was feeling better after the 'booster' shot, though phychologically she felt worse, since she couldn't believe she had to take an extra shot just to get rid of the side effects from the first shot. Her head shook before tilting up to focus on what she just heard. "You got the result back?" She looked at Simon with surprises in her eyes. "When did I even take the test?"

[jdor11 91]

"that machine was the test." simon said pointing to the small box on the cart, "i also allowed it to give you some medicines for you to live function at 100% power, i also added a few other things in there, nothing you need to worry about though." simon took out a gun and showed it to coral, "ever fire one of these before?"

[Uri 7]

Live function at 100%? Coral never heard of the term before, but she guessed it must be something that mattered. The sick feeling she had wasn't too bad after she got used to it. "Mm, thanks." Coral tried to use her numb arm to take the gun, but she ended using her other one. "A few times, but I prefer to use other weapons that have more firepower." The gun was rotated a few times before it was handed back with its safety turned on. "What was the test about? Did I pass?" A part of her was curious to find out, but she was also afraid of knowing bad results, since she didn't even know how the small machine just diagnosed her.

[jdor11 91]

"yes you passed" simon not wanting to say anymore changed the subject, "come with me we are going to the firing range, to see your ability with a gun.

[Uri 7]

"Yay~" Coral cheered happily at the result of her test, smiling and heading away after Simon. Although she knew she didn't even do anything, it somehow worked. Firing range? The sound of her hooves clicking against the floor ceased when she came into a stop. "Hang on. It will only take a few seconds." Closing her eyes, Coral ignored the numbness and concentrated. The tip of her horn glowed softly at first, then the rays of white light beamed out. They began to wrap around her like waves before fading away into the air instantly. A human figure replaced where the dark cream pony stood a flash before, her pink/orange hair reaching down below her shoulder. She wore a jacket over her tank top, shorts, like she was originally preparing to have a picnic at the beach.

 

"Ok, ready." Coral stumbled after Simon for a couple steps before she could walk naturally.

[jdor11 91]

"smart, very smart of you, lets see how fast you are though." then there was a blur and suddenly simon was standing at the end of the hall, "you coming or do i have to stand here all day?" simon then walked through a door at the end of the hall, the door led to the outside there, there was a shooting range infront of him

[Uri 7]

"Hehe, it's nothing. Just magic- eh?" Coral stopped and searched confusingly for Simon, surprised to find out he was already that ahead of her at the end of the hallway. "Whoa, do yoy know how to teleport, too?" Hurriedly she ran after him to the outside into the shooting range. Target practices weren't her strong points, but she was going to try her best anyway. Isn't this a lab? He must had built this place, too. "Is everything here yours?" She held her arms out besides her to show her point.

[jdor11 91]

"yes i own everything here, as for knowing how to teleport, i can't teleport." simon pressed a few buttons on a panel and a rack of guns slid from out of the ground, "now lets see.... ah here we go." simon pulled a sniper off the shelf, and handed it to coral, try to shoot all the targets at the week points, in the mean time i am going to go look at a few important thing's, don't bother following me." then there was another blur and simon was gone

[Uri 7]

"Oh, I guess see you later?" Coral asked hopefully, but Simon was already out of sight, so she slumped her shoulder in dissapointment. Fumbling the sniper rifle in her hands, she actually wished he would give her something that is easier and less delicate for control, not the skill-required sniper rifle. Nevertheless, she held it up to scope out the target before she squeezed the trigger uncertainly. Without the silencer, the shot rang out, but the target was completely unharmed. Adjusting the rifle again, she fired a second shot. Still, the target was unharmed. Later on, she kept adjusting and trying until both of her arms felt like falling asleep. Still the target was missed again and again. I hope the bullets are not going to ricochet in here. Embarrased by her zero out of whatever scores, Coral was glad Simon was too busy minding his own business.

 

Deciding that she could probably start training by shortening the distance, Coral walked further in. Behind her, the air split open with clawed reptile-like hands and a pair of monstrous eyes staring out.

simon was in the master control room watching the screens he had his radio on and kept sending signals to Z >where is he!? he should have answered more then an hour ago!<

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Vinyl Blade was hanging on the pipes above the ceiling and dropped down, "Hey Simon."

[jdor11 91]

simon turned around and saw vinyl. "hey vinyl! how have you been? haven't seen you for a while!" simon said in a pleased tone

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"I'm fine. I thought I was done with mercenary work, but I guess once a merc, always a merc, right?"

[jdor11 91]

"always a merc, well anyway i have a new recruit outside working on shooting could you go help her? her name is coral she is at the shooting range, i am sorry if i can't come but i am waiting for a call from one of my merc's" simon looked at vinyl for a secound then went back to looking at the screens and listening to the radio

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"What's she shootin'?" she asked.

[jdor11 91]

"simple procedure sniper, and from the looks of it she is really bad!" simon said looking at the screen infront of him, "i know she can be a great sniper, but she will need lot's of practice, what are you doing here anyway, now that i think about it."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Got bored of just assassinations, plus it doesn't pay as well."

[jdor11 91]

"oh i see, your here for a job... show me how well you can teach coral to shoot in the next... 2 hours and i will think about it." striker said in a serious tone but there was a underline tone of smugness in his words.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"We'll see how well she can learn," she said, not doubting her ability to teach.

[jdor11 91]

"she will learn fine." simon said undoubting. "not to be rude, but i am actually really busy right now, i have lost contact with one of my merc's i don't doubt that he is alive, but i am getting worried, i am trying everything to contact him." simon said this time stress coming with his word

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Which way was the firing range?"

[jdor11 91]

"down the hall, very end on the left, if you need help just call me." simon said tossing a talkie to vinyl, "becareful."

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

"Got it! I'll be back in about thirty minutes!" she said as she took off for the range.

[jdor11 91]

>thirty minutes is it? she was always ambitious< simon thought to himself, suddenly simon got out of his chair, leaving a note on the control panel, he got all his weapons and got into one of the heli's he then took off, without saying where.
