Nya's POV-
Pixal led me down to the training floor. All the training bots had been set up again, Skylor was just standing there, drenched in sweat and beaming confidence.
"How'd I do?" Skylor asked once Pixal was in her view.
"Your test will be evaluated." Pixal announced snappishly. "Now will you please come to the viewing area with me."
I watched as Pixal and Skylor walked away from me, and soon saw Skylor standing in the balcony, some space away from Harumi.
I noticed my hands were wet. Was it my power, unconsciously reading for a fight, or was it my nerves?
Before I had time to figure anything out, a fanfare of horns blared, signaling the start of the test.
Training bots advanced in my direction. I sent a mass of water to one of them, but the water just splashed against the side of the machine.
"What?" I yelled. This was totally unfair.
I reached to my belt and found what looked like a ray blaster of some sort. Jay would love it, but it isn't something the Predestine of the gods regularly train with.
Without thinking, I whipped the blaster out and fired it rapidly. Shots were flying everywhere. I'm pretty sure I managed to hit the balcony once or twice.
I managed to hit a couple of the training bots before the blaster jammed. I chucked the now-useless piece of technology to the ground and jumped onto the closest bots' back. I opened the control panel at the back of the bot's neck and started pulling out wires. As soon as the boy fell to the ground, I moved on to the next one.

Skylor's POV-
Nya was a flurry of motion. She leapt from one bot to another, defeating them until they were all on the ground. She stood there, probably exhausted, in the center of the field, looking up at us.

Nya's POV-
I watched as Skylor, Pixal, Harumi, and Seliel made their way to me.
"Good job." Skylor said.
Pixal looked sharply at her. "Her test will be decided. Nothing is set in stone as of yet."
Harumi immediately jumped onto me. "You did great!"
I struggled as Harumi hugged me. "I knew you would do it!"
Seliel advanced to me as soon as Harumi stopped hugging me. I froze up as the silent commander looked over me, and then Skylor.
"Both your tests were exemplary." Seliel announced. "Welcome to the Elite."
Pixal looked stunned. "But Commander!" She said. "There are rules, protocols! You can't just-"
Seliel cut her assistant off. "And I am the one who makes the rules. These two have displayed their skill in battle and devotion to our cause, I see no reason not to bring them in." Seliel turned to us. "Get changed, then see Pixal for your official forms. Congrats."
I hurriedly nodded and pulled Skylor into the changing room.
Once we were away from it all, Skylor sighed. "Girl, we got in!"
"Yeah, we did." I said, fake-smiling. "Skylor, um... if anything happens..."
Skylor nodded. "I'm still your friend."
I didn't want to tell Skylor. I didn't want her to know about all this yet. But the chances being as they were, she might as well find out soon.

We got changed quickly and walked to the waiting area again.
Pixal was there, holding two packets of paper.
"Nya A. Mizu has been placed in the Commander's personal squad, roles being Front Lines, Mechanic, and Mech fighter."
Pixal handed me a name tag with that information on it. I ran my hand over my name, embedded in the metal in a metallic blue.
Pixal continued. "Skylor R. Chen has also been selected for the Commander's personal squadron. Her roles are Front lines, cook, and stealth."
Pixal handed Skylor a nametag simer to mine, with the words embedded in red.
Skylor showed me her nametag, beaming.
"Um, Pixal?" I asked?
"Yes?" The girl snapped.
"Who are the other members of The Commander's Squad?" I asked.
Pixal stared at me for a while, then answered me. "The Commander, Harumi Kogo, and myself."
I felt relived at the mention of Harumi's name. At least I was on good terms with her.
Skylor smiled at me as Pixal walked back to her desk. I smiled back at Skylor. I have to admit, I was relieved that I would be going through this with her.
