Yu Yu Hakusho!!! Spirits Amok! (A Spirit Detective RP!) Chapter 3: Genkai's Training.

[Jack and Calumon]

Angelo took to Time Crisis after Alex. A test of reflexes, with a shock when you get hit? Angelo pondered. He played a few times, but getting hit was something that kind of came natural, especially towards the end of the first level. The game had tendencies to throw enemies at you in interesting ways, parachuting, jumping in front of you, even crashing through objects. Most the enemies did nothing, but the ones that did were easy enough to spot. They were marked. All you had to do was hide for a bit, then pop out again, praying he's not still shooting, and get him.

Angelo picked up his light gun and took to the game. Things were hectic, far more than normal. Terrorists and civilians were flooding the screen, within a few seconds, a few accurate shots came in to him. In a panic, he took cover. This was more than he was used to, seeming pretty impossible. It was like a weave of near indistinguishable people, some good, some bad. Angelo got out and shot at 3 terrorists closest to him before taking a shot. He stomped on the pedal as his breath was taken away. It felt as if the demons returned for another blow. The video games suddenly made sense in terms of training. Angelo gritted his teeth and no longer looked at it as a game, but as what he needed to do to prove himself.

He released the pedal and shot at everyone looking at him funny. He was getting into a rhythm of jumping out and popping in. Through out the rest of the game, he only lost one more life, and that was from a civilian being just in front of his last target. A double tap got both, but Angelo still felt it. He looked at the now finished screen as a big B.

Not exactly as lightning fast as I'd like.

Lina's last stop was at the Time Crisis game, and one she had not been looking forward to. This kind of game was really not her kind of thing...

Reluctantly, she picked up the light gun, waiting for the game to start. As soon as it did, she began shooting wildly, wincing in pain as the shots contacted with her body.

Holy shit, Genkai wasn't kidding...

Lina barely managed to finish the level, earning herself a C+. "Phew..." She gasped, "That was tough."

Shaking her head, she went off to see how the others were doing.

Um... where is everybody?

Angelo took to the punching machine and focused his energy. Genkai mentioned that he needed to focus his spirit energy into his punch, so he did. Without igniting his electricity, Angelo focused his energy around his hand. Nothing could be seen, but Angelo knew that he had more in his punches than normal. With an almighty slam, the target fell back into the machine. Angelo looked up at the score board.

"600 huh?" Angelo said, breathing out, "Not bad I guess. Not bad."

Spoiler: OOC

Ummm, Why was there Street Fighter being done by Jack?

Alex whistled at the sight of Angelo's score. He was surprised that such a strong blow had come out of the younger student.

"Not bad? You kidding? I think it would take a professional to hit as hard. Take some credit." He said as he wandered over to the final test for himself; the Time Crisis machine.

He got there with plenty of time to watch the end of Lina's game. The entire thing seemed pretty frantic to Alex. "Yah, looks tough." He said as he took up the recently vacated spot. "Well, wish me luck."

As the game started Alex ran though what he had gotten from watching the others play. He had played this game before with friends, but with the modifications it was a totally different match. In particular, Alex had noticed that everyone's performance had tended to suffer after they had been hit, most likely from the shocks that were being applied.

So Alex resolved that he wouldn't get hit. If he played careful and cautious then he shouldn't have a problem avoiding damage and ending with a god score. As Alex played his strategy seemed to be working; he ducked in and out of cover constantly, sometimes only for a single shot.

He had actually gotten pretty far without being hit and with very few missed shots when a sudden strong jolt ran though his body. "Huh? What happened?" He asked a little dazed.

The words: GAME OVER were set on the screen in bright red.

"But.. how?" He wondered before he saw something in one of the corners.

TIME: 00:00

Of course, while Alex hadn't been taking any damage he had forgotten that the game was timed. It was in the name and everything. Alex smiled and rubbed his still stinging wrist as the score came up anyways.

"C- well, I guess that's just how it goes sometimes." Alex chucked to himself as he stepped away. "Well, I guess that's it for me." He said as he wandered over to see how the others were doing.

I Apologize for my lack of activity, I have had many issues in real life that required my attention. I will have a post up by the end of tonight.

Spoiler: Milenko

I did not say that the Street Fighter game was a test, As such, it will not have any effect on the testing. You Still have to play the other 3 games.

Damien thought about the punching bag as he approached it. "The only real strength necessary in baseball's in the forearms, torso, 'n hips. Everythin' else is just momentum. I reckon I ain't gonna do too well." Damien then thought about what Genkai had said about channeling Spirit Energy into his fist to amp up his strength. Damien imagined the burning rage that sparked his spheres swelling up within his chest. Most of the time, all this energy would diffuse down between his palms, like the opposite ends of a battery. However, Damien focused all his energy into his right arm, to the point where veins of energy began to glow dimly. The energy raced down Damien's arm as he threw his body forward, the energy reaching his fist as he completely extended.

"Son o' a *****!" Damien roared as he cradled his hand. A red welt was slowly rising on the back of his hand, while his knuckles hadn't changed at all. In fact, Damien didn't even have any memory of actually touching the bag. Damien shook the pain out of his hand as he saw the score rack up. "6...666? The hell? How do I 'ave the Devil's punch?" Damien was suprised, as he had barely touched the bag. As it swung down once more, Damien punched it again with his left hand without any Spirit Energy. The bag swung up, but the numbers stayed firmly at 0001. A special message, complete with angry head of Genkai, read, "Use some damn Spirit Energy, you pussy!" Damien smiled. "Well, that certainly makes quite a bit o' sense.

Angelo approached the final place of training, Dance Dance Revolution. He had never dared go on one of these machines before out of fear of making an ass of himself, and now, like the others he was playing it for training. Training to fight demons. Angelo thought the same thing before doing every piece of this training and he still felt strange about it. A month ago, Angelo had no idea Demons existed, barely even thought about it, but here he is now, embarrassing himself in a public place to prove his agility against super natural beings.

Angelo stepped up and began, looking at the songs for choice, ones that didn't look like they'd make him look stupid. Nothing presented itself like that, so Angelo chose one he thought wouldn't be so bad if people saw him. 'Bloodhound Gang - Bad touch'. If people saw him dancing to this rather than Lady Gaga, in Angelo's head, they'd be less likely to laugh at him, and Angelo wanted nothing else on his mind but this machine, and not some jerks laughing at him. Angelo began the song.

Starting easy before the tune even came in was standard, but when it did come in, Angelo found himself working hard, especially around the chorus, and the tune after the chorus. Angelo was missing notes a few times, and occasionally stumbling, but for some reason, actually playing the game came almost naturally. Sure it was simple, moving to the buttons and pressing them in time, but Angelo had seen many people thinking just that and being demolished by the game, losing track of what was happening on screen and with their feet, yet with Angelo, he was just picking up and playing. His skill was causing him to slip now and then, but it he was amazed how well he was doing.

At the end, Angelo was out of breath, and the song wasn't even that long, but mentally processing what to do and acting it out seemed very hard for him. Eventually he got his score.

"B?" Angelo said looking at it, "How the hell... did I manage that?" Angelo was out of breath, so he went away to take a small break for a while.

Jason picked up the light gun and began firing away at the terrorists on screen. He had some past experience with this sort of game, so he had an edge. However, no matter how good he was, he eventually ran out of lives and the game over screen loomed over him. A final score of C+ showed on the screen. "Oh well, not the best run in the world, but whatever." Jason shruged as he moved to the punching machine.

Genkai had said that you needed your spirit energy to amplify your fist or something like that. So, what did that mean for Jason who spent nearly all of his energy forming his shield earlier. "Well, here goes." Jason muttered as he put on the glove. He tried to summon the energy into his fist. A little bit came and he felt it tingling in his hand. He reeled back and swung at the bag with all his might. The bag swung upwards and slammed into the plate at the top. A score of 370 rang up on the scoreboard. "Holy shit! I didn't think i could hit anything like that!" He yelped as he saw his score.

Finally, he made his way over to the DDR machine and hopped on. He quickly found a song that was familiar to him and pressed the start button.


Soon, the arrows swarmed the screen and Jason was jumping and stomping frantically to keep from failing the song. Eventually, the cheery, upbeat song ended and gave Jason a "B" for his efforts. Breathing hard and leaning on the hand bars, jason stepped off the platform and returned to the others.

As soon as he did, Genkai returned from a dark corner of the arcade to address the group. "Alright, it seems that you have done what I've asked. now sound off! What were your scores?"

Spoiler: I can't say sorry enough

I'm really sorry that I made you all wait so long for a post. A lot was going on in real life that was beyond my control. School, Girlfriend, Etc. Now I've found a balance for things and posts will be coming along now. I can't say how sorry I am for this.
