“You may now begin.”

The robot didn't waste a second; it raised its gun arm and took a shot right at Mamoru’s face. Fortunately for her she already had her shield out and positioned it to intercept the bullet. A loud bang was heard as the robot fired a tiny rubber ball that smacked into Mamoru’s Aegis. It didn't even bounce off: the moment it touched Mamoru’s shield all momentum just vanished and it fell to the floor. The robot fired five more times before retracting its arm to reload.

[color=pink]”Six shots huh? Like a revolver!”[/color]

This was when Mamoru went to strike. She charged right up to the robot as he was reloading, but as she got closer it raised its arm to smack Mamoru away. However she simply blocked the robots attack with her shield and slammed the edge right into the body of the robot. The mechanical enemy was dented and groaned but wasn't out yet. One arm grabbed Mamoru’s shield while its gun arm was swung down at Mamoru’s head she tried to pull her shield out but the robot was a bit too strong for her to force the shield out. So she dismissed her Aegis and hopped back before the robot could hit her.

[color=pink]”Tch. Force of habit. Need to use my weapon more.”[/color]

Summoning her shield again Mamoru started running around the robot as he finished reloading and fired at Mamoru. At first she was able to outrun its shots by keeping ahead of its gun barrel, but then it adjusted its aim and targeted the space in front of Mamoru instead of following her. Instinctively Mamoru brought her shield up, stopping the bullet once more before she charged at the robot. It didn't seem to try reloading and got ready to punch Mamoru. [color=pink]”You never learn!”[/color] Once more Mamoru was able to stop the punch simply by blocking it with her shield, and even as the robot tried to catch Mamoru off guard with a kick, she only needed a slight shift to intercept the robots sneak attack as well. With the opponent balancing on one leg Mamoru put all her strength into pushing the machine over, where it fell with ease. 

Mamoru didn't give the robot a moment to recover as she jumped onto the larger machine’s chest and started bashing the robot in the face with her baton. One smack across its eyes to blind it before she activated the electroshock function. Then she smacked the robot again just for good measure. When it tried to reach up and grab her, that was when Mamoru plunged the shock baton right into the robot’s chest. This sent a powerful electrical surge through the machine's body, causing the robot’s body to stiffen as she kept sending energy into the machine, stunning it.

Eventually the robot stopped moving and the female robot voice came back up. “The training simulation is over. Result: One enemy combatant defeated. Time: eighteen seconds.” Getting off the machine Mamoru took a few deep breaths. She wasn't really hurt and her body was still feeling the high from her little warm up. All in all she did pretty well, but she only fought one robot at its lowest setting with a dinky little simulated revolver. That wasn't really a villain, that was just a thug with a gun. Still Mamoru was glad that the tonfa she got was useful; it gave that robot a wallop and it's stun function would make it useful in a fight too.

[color=pink]”Let’s turn it up a notch. Two robots with guns! Or maybe even three! I wonder if they have a time attack mode or something, I wanna see how many bots I can take out this time.”[/color]

Smiling, Donny was glad that this girl accepted his offer. He wasn't sure what he'd do if she said no! Probably ask someone else, though he would've felt a bit hurt inside. Regardless. Now that he had a partner he could get cooking. [color=firebrick]”T-T-Thanks, Sanegeyama-San! My n-name’s Donny. Donny Yang.”[/color] Donny shook  Haruka’s hand and motioned towards the workstation he had set up. [color=firebrick]U-Um. I have my set up over there. I-If you don't mind, could you fill and heat up the pot while I go get our aprons?”[/color] Donny said in a slowly more calmer manner. Though he was talking to a girl now, his mind was on cooking. He couldn't let his own insecurities get in the way of his dish, no matter how simple it is.

He left Haruka to start heating up the water while he went to get aprons for the two of them. They didn't really have any Donny’s size, so while he took one apron for Haruka, Donny ended up just wearing two aprons to cover up his chest. As he was returning to his work station he noticed that Fumika was working by herself. Well, she had someone with her, but that someone was one of those funny copies she makes. It looked like Fumika herself but wearing different clothes. That was very sad and something woke in Donny’s heart. And spoke into his head.

[color=firebrick][i]”Look at her. That's pathetic. She has to make her own partner! A sock puppet! Just to get anything done. Sounds familiar doesn't it? I wonder how many of our friends were really just us wearing a new mask, dressed in a new disguise? But that has to change. We can't keep pretending to be these things. That's who you are. Or rather, why pretend? Why not just embrace the delusions and become the mask? Come on Donny Boy. Don't you want to be the hero to save yourself? Now's your chance. Don't screw up.”[/i][/color]

Donny just stood there staring at Fumika for a little while before he went back to get another apron. Then he walked over to Fumika and tapped her on the shoulder. [color=firebrick]”Motome-San, don't forget your apron.”[/color] Donny held out a white apron for Fumika. He wasn't really sure what to do from here. Ask her to join him? Maybe have her partner up with Haruka? Donny wish he knew. He probably should've asked someone for help. Jett seems like the type of guy who know how to handle situations like this. Mina was smart too, she would probably know how to deal with Fumika. But Donny had to do this. There was a feeling, a sort of aura from Fumika that Donny was familiar with. He didn't know how to put it into words but he needed to do something about it. So here he was.

[color=firebrick]”Do you need a partner?”[/color]
