Lukari's POV

After seeing that action, I got myself ready too before Xoph shot an arrow at me.

Despite my movements were faster than an ordinary arrow, I easily broke the arrow in half, just by a single punch.

I did the same thing again, along with my legs too, as Xoph shot 19 more arrows at me.

Above, below, middle and my blind spots.

I hitted the arrows like they're nothing, making me look like I was dancing smoothly or something like that.

Once that was over, Xoph mentioned that my next test is strength.

Then he looked over at a tree and told me to punch it as hard as I can.

I did so and easily knocked down the tree with just one punch.

I want them to think that I'm just an average, normal, shiny Lucario that you'd see everyday rather than letting them see my true powers and the abilities that I actually have.

Xoph and Zathei seemed unimpressed after that happened.

"Huh...Her strength is just the same as an ordinary Lucario's is." I heard Zathei comment.

I wanted to beat the shit out of her and kill her for saying that but that'll only blow my cover.

And since I'm hopefully gonna "join" the dark side, I have to do my best to fake my emotions while I act out the role of being a bad guy.

I have to act cruel, hateful, bloodthirsty, and make it look like I've completely given in to my dark emotions.

I can't show any sign of happiness or any other positive emotions, because that'll make me look very suspicious.

I know all of this because of my research and the number of times I've been encountered with so many Dark Matter agents.

I had to kill their pathetic asses several times before. Otherwise, they could try to kill me or try to capture me.

Part of the research, I'll give credit to Xander and whoever wrote in that one book that Rodney letted me borrow, months ago.

But, that was way before Xander's passing.

I still remember all of the details in the book and in my research very clearly.

It's also really easy when it comes to faking emotions and acting things out.

One reasons why is because I'm a woman...And women are really good when it comes to faking emotions.

We sometimes may look like we're really happy on the outside but we could have a different emotion on the inside.

And, no, I'm not saying it like I'm gonna sexually harass you or anything like that.

The other half is because ever since I was little, my mother and father always told me and my sister that we'd be good actresses.

They didn't tell us why though, which was a bit more confusing to me and my elder sister, but they weren't kidding when they said about us being good actresses.

"Anything else?" I asked as I looked at Xoph and Zathei before cracking my knuckles again.

"There's speed and how well you are in hand-to-hand combat." Zathei mentioned.

"Heh. Alright, then...Bring it on, bitches." I said as I smirked a little.

Zathei smirked too before she came at me with her weapon drawn.

I brought out my weapon and easily blocked her attack as I dodged.

As I blocked her weapon, Zathei used her free paw and tried to hit me with her fist.

I blocked Zathei's fist with my paw before gripping on it.

I swept my leg under her feet, making Zathei fall, before I flipped her over and slammed her to the ground like I was judo flipping her with only one paw instead of using both of them.

After Zathei was on the ground, she got herself back up as she stood.
