Fun fun fun in the lack of sun! (Callie, Zavie)

8D would have very little outward reaction to the verbal beating that Zavie was dishing out, other then the large toothy grin that never seemed to leave his face anyway. Perhaps it was just best to let the kid get all his frustrations out cus well... It was frankly understandable. If someone had told 8D that they could go on a dungeon run tonight and could have lots of fun and fight demons with superpowers and have tons of bonding time with his two little furry buddies, he'd be pretty ticked at them to! Like, that's just mean ya know? Then again if there was nothing that could be done there was nothing that could be done. After all it wouldn't be like they couldn't go tomorrow. Surely they wouldn't be sitting around for to long right? -And the award for most passive aggressive post of all time goes to! Ehehehehehe-

"There There Kitty Cat King. Your Court Jester simply missunderstood what we were able to do tonight, it will all work out for the best though, seeing as how we're gunna get some training in before we go into the fray! Ehehehe, If we were to just run out there it would be a total CATastrophe Ehehehe!" Grins would bow humbly to Lord Of Cats and hoped dearly that his king would forgive his Jester. Ehehehe.

"Now Friends! Lets go!" 8D would laugh heartily and skip for Joy as he fallowed J down to the basement. Kay would chuckle slightly at the sight and shake her head. It was going to be a looooong night...

"Never trained kids before... Wonder if you lot can take it. Oh well, only one way to find out. Come on Privets! Lets whip you little balls of cute into proper Ego Warriors!" Kay would waste no time in heading for the basement and marching off towards the observation deck.

If Callie and Zavie fallowed into the basement they would find themselves in a small lab packed wall to wall with  complex looking equipment and computer screens. On the far end next to a large pile of glass cubes, each with a faintly glowing black ball inside, J and 8D would stand next to an open thick blast door. What was on the far side of that door was shrouded in darkness, and surely where they were going to be training tonight.

"Who are you...? W-where am I?" A quick attempt at struggling suggested she was also tied down and unable to move. "W-what that thing!? N-no! Nooo!"

"H-huh...?" Snapping back to reality by a sudden now bunny hooded Zavie standing beside her. The girl was so confused, she hadn't even realized the fact Terra had knocked against her head with his paw. All she wanted to know was what she was just thinking of... It almost seemed so... I-it was... Wait... What was it that she was thinking about again? Hmm... Aww it's so annoying when that happens! What if it was important! The girl would sigh before getting distracted again by Zavie and fully taking in what he'd just done. "Woah... Where'd you get the cool hood from Zavie?" She'd say in curiosity, reaching out to stroke the bunny ears that it possessed. "I bet it would look great on me!" She'd say jokingly with a light giggle.

Following the group down into the lab, her mood would perk up again as her first training session was really just about to start! "Don't go easy on us Kay! Just cause we're kids doesn't mean we can't handle anything that 8D can't!" She'd say jokingly before staring around the lab. She hadn't been down here for a while, J was always working on different things so it was always a complete mess in a completely different way every time she saw it. Although she did notice there seemed to be more of those black balls then there were last time she was down here... She'd tried asking about those so many times but J always finds a way to distract her and change the subject! Although right now there was an actual reason to be distracted. "Stop stalling! Come on, what are we going to be doing in there? I hope it's lots of fun, it better be lots of fun! Are we going to practice fighting off more of those things? Or at least ways to fight off those things? We gonna work as a team to do it and stuff? Come on you gotta tell me! Stop telling me to wait and seeeee! I'm here to see, let's gooooooo!"

"Alright! Then lets get to it!" Grins happily shouted as he lead his two companions through the door and into the darkness there beyond. In his blind run he failed to remember he can't see in pitch blackness and ran face first into what felt like a solid brick wall."Gyaha!" he yelled as he fell back and landed flat on his bottom.

"You may want to give me a chance to hit the lights first kids..." Kay's voice accompanied the sound of the door behind them slamming shut. Shortly after lights from far above bust into life bathing the large room with a sterile white glow. What had felt like a brick wall to 8D's nose was just that, a brick wall. twenty feet tall in this twenty five foot tall room, and spanning it's length,"Alright cadets! First test, work together to get over this wall, without damaging it! Good luck"

"Oh this should be easy!" 8D chuckled as he approched the wall and attempted to grab on to a protrusion, just for his hand to slip off as if were grabbing melting Ice."Eh? What gives?"

"Hmhmhm!"This time it was J's voice that crackled through the speakers. "It won't be that easy, I've treated this wall with a thin film of a lubricant of my own design! It's Coefficient of Kinetic and Static friction is so infinitesimally small it might as well be zero! You won't be climbing up the old fashioned way my dear friends! Hmhmhm! Good luck!"

"Huh... Talk about a SLICK guy! Ehehehehe!" 8D chuckled before turning to his two companions."So! Any ideas?"

Following Grins partially into the dark room, pausing as she wasn't a massive fan of the dark. Luckily she was right to do so as her robotic friend bounced off of a seemingly invisible wall from what she could currently see. She couldn't help but giggle softly at the scene as Kay turned on the lights to reveal the fallen bot. "Hehe, you alright 8D?" She'd laugh again as she walked over to him and gave him a hand getting back up before looking around the massive room she now found herself in. The room was terrifyingly huge! L-like... How did this fit under here? She was sure they didn't go down enough steps into the lab to be able to fit something with a ceiling this huge down here... L-like... W-where was the roof of this thing?

Being suddenly distracted by Kay calling them in for their first test, Callie decided there was no point questioning it. This was going to be a whole lot of fun anyway! No need questioning it and ruining the fun! "Climb the wall!?" She'd gasp with excitement, she had always been great with climbing! This should be no problem at all! U-until the rules came into play. "W-we can't damage it...? Awww... That puts my usual method out the window." Even worse yet, it seemed as though they had made it even harder as 8D would prove as his hand slipped straight off of any grabbing point he went for.

"Hmm..." The young vixen would stare at the wall for a moment, she knew she could probably still get up there herself. Yet how would she get everyone else up there too? Unless... "Oh! Oh! I've got an idea! 8D stay still!" Without warning, the girl would swiftly draw out her daggers, run straight towards the robot in question and leap up, first landing on his shoulders then leaping up again to reach as high as possible.

"C-cals... W-what are you doing? Neheh...?" Terra would of questioned terrified as the girl first starting running towards Grins. He was almost positive he knew what she was about to do and... Well he wasn't going to appreciate this one bit. "P-please don't do what you're about to!"

Yet it was too late...

Reaching her arms up as high as possible, Callie would bring her two daggers together so just the sides of the blades were touching the wall. As she'd fall back down, she'd keep the blades fixed as best she could to this position as it would peel off all the lubricant that hung to the wall as it went. She'd look down and aim to land back on the now probably confused 8D whilst shouting. "CATCH!" Either way if he was ready for her or not she'd land directly on top of him before jumping back up and cheering. "To-daaa~!" Pointing at the clean line of the wall with her now slime covered daggers.

"... I... I... We never speak of this again."

"Kayeeeee! Callie! What are you doing with those knives! Please spare me!" 8D shuddered and shrunk from Callie as she came running at him with her knives. Had she found out that he uses her tail brush for brushing the dirt from his hat after particularly harsh days of work... Or that he reads her diary every saturday when she's out playing..."Ehehehe, Just kidding, I'm picking up what your putting down," 8D smirked to himself as he held a hand out to Callie and used every ounce of his considerable Robo strength to launch Callie as far into the air as he could aiming for the top of the wall.

Grins smirked and moved to be in position to catch Callie once she fell back to the ground. With a slight grunt he would wrap his arms around the now probably slippery Fox and giver her a goopy hug before setting her back down"Genius Callie! Well done well done! Ehehehe, Now you and Zavie can climb the wall no problem! As for me well..." 8D's grin grew wide as he gently pressed his nose in like a button. A small ding would sound before his body fell appart at the seems, rendering him a pile of arms, legs, a torso, and head."I'm just FALLING TO PIECES over here with worry! EHehehehe Mind giving me a lift?"

"Hehe." Callie would giggle happily from the praise she got from both her friends, even if Terra was still disgusted by what he was now covered in. "Yup! I know for a fact I can scale this wall now, I love climbing things! Do you think you could manage it too Zavie? It's pretty high up still." She'd look up to the top of the wall for a moment before looking back as 8D seemed to crumble into pieces, well carrying him up would probably make this a little harder... Yet she was sure she could still manage it!

"Come on then you lazy bum!" The girl would say, picking up Grin's arms and head. "Shesh 8D, you fill yourself with stones before this?" She'd comment jokingly before laughing. "Zavie! You grab the rest of him. I'll race ya to the top!" With one quick motion the young vixen would have latched herself to the wall and start climbing up with no problems at all, aside from the fact she couldn't climb as fast as usual due to a certain extra weight!

Strength:

"Please be careful Callie! My head has my face on it! And as you know my face is my money maker, my bread and butter! I need it for looking handsome and what not, Ehehehe" 8D would enjoy the ride up and back down again, reminded him of the days when he was nothing more then a program on a fancy shmancy watch. J would wear him around all day but when it was time to play Callie would carry him to and fro... Better times...

"What was that about my-MY TORSO!" 8D's jaw dropped as he saw Zavie come over the wall carrying his legs but not his torso... Ya know... The most important part! It's ok... It's ok... No need to panic."H-Hehehe... Feels like I'm having an OUT OF BODY experience here... ehehe... I mean I've heard of taking inches off your waist but this is ridiculous!... heh..."

"Alright kids not bad, pretty creative actually. Color me impressed," Kay's voice once again echoed through the room. "Now for this next test I'll have J explain it to ya."

"Oh why THANK you my dear Kay!" J's voice happily sounded through the speakers"This next test is of my own design! We will be testing how well you can think on your feet and communicate as a team!" Beyond the wall was what looked like a large hedge maze, and though the group could only see the entrance it was obviously rather expansive."Two of you will be blindfolded while the third guides you through the maze by reading signs placed throughout! Be Carful though! The maze is filled with rather nasty traps... Shouldn't be fatal though... Good luck my friends!" With that the speakers died out and a pedestal would rise from the ground in front of the group. On the pedestal, two black blindfolds.

"Hehe, sorry 8D!" The girl would giggle as Grins complained about this new mode of transport, it was always funny to here the ridiculous ways he'd express his complaints, especially when he was being silly on purpose! "Oh, uh..." Callie would look to see if there was an easier way to get back over the wall to fetch 8D's torso, but found nothing. It even seemed as if the wall wasn't designed to be climbed back over from this side so that wasn't much of an option either... "You can... You can keep going without a body for a bit, right Grins? Might do you some good to drop a few pounds, hehe."

Ooohhh! This next test sounded like fun! Who needed sight to find their way through anywhere anyway when you can just smell your way to victory! "Me! Me!" The young vixen would shout, claiming one of the blindfolds and heading towards the entrance of the maze. "I wanna go in the maze! Uhh... Grins you can tell us where to go as your ability to... Well... Move independently has been taken, hehe. Unless you want to do it Zavs?" She'd enquire, honestly she didn't mind which one of them took on the role, she just new she wanted to be one of the ones in the maze!

"I... Ok ya know what Callie that one was pretty good... I'm ok with this now! Lets get to work!" 8D chuckled slightly and rolled towards his severed legs. In a process that looked all to very similar to Horseshoe Crab balancing itself on a log, 8D attached his head to his leg completely ignoring the fact that the leg bone is supposed to be connected to the hip bone and so on and so forth. Instead he went COMPLETELY rouge and connected the leg bone directly to the neck bone and became a glorified lamp. "Well, at least I can get a LEG up on life like this! Ehehehe"

The now leggified head would hop towards the maze and enter it after the other two and towards the first sign."AAAAAAALL right guys! The first direction is to take a right then a left then... Take the third door from the left on the right hand side of the second basement floor but only after deactivating the hidden floor trap?... Oooooh... Dis is gunn be baaaaaad..."

Callie, now blindfolded would stumble forwards into the maze, her ears darting back and forth letting her know alongside her powerful sense of smell where the edges of the hedges lay, allowing her to stop herself from walking straight into a wall. Althouugghhh that wasn't exactly the tricky part. "First step was right!" She'd echo after 8D, instantly turning to the left and heading the wrong direction. S-she wasn't exactly very good with her lefts and rights. Usually she would hold her hands in the air with her palms facing away from her, then whichever hand looked like an L that she knew from her name, she knew that one was left!... Right? No left, yes that's right... Wait... Right... Is this the wrong way?
