Shenrei: So, it seems your mouth has led you to the depths of oblivion again Sonjo.
(The four of them look surprised, and then see Shenrei appear from out of nowhere!)
Jin: Shenrei?!
Khan: What's he doing here?
Master Tazz: So, we finally meet again. Only this time, there's no disguise.
Shenrei: Ah Master, it seems I was right about you all along.
Master Tazz: I guess so…
Sonjo: What a surprise! It seems he decided to come check out how strong I am.
Shenrei: You can bark as loud as you want, Sonjo, you don't faze me.
Jin: You just HAD to say it Sonjo!
Khan: You really are the worst, you know that?
Sonjo: Hey c'mon! How was I supposed to know that he would just show up? Him and Graves just do whatever they want!
Graves: You rang?
(Just then, Graves appears!)
Jin: OH C'MON!
Khan: Are you kidding?
Jin: Alright it's confirmed, Sonjo is definitely the worst out of everyone.
Khan: Agreed.
Sonjo: WOOOOOOW! Can't believe my own best friends are turning against me!
Shenrei: Well considering that it's already happened once, I'm surprised you wouldn't consider it a possibility.
Jin: …!
Sonjo: *Slight anger in his voice* What do you mean… Are you talking about Skia'?
Graves: Wow, you really are dumb.
Shenrei: So what if I am? Don't worry, we've been taking GOOD care of her.
Sonjo: *Fuming with rage, he begins powering up* DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT SKIA'! *He charges at Shenrei with unrelenting rage!*
Jin: Sonjo, wait!
Khan: Why does he always get so heated whenever someone mentions her name?
Graves: And then there were three…
Jin: Well Khan, whaddya wanna do now?
Khan: Hmph, destroy Graves obviously. *He quickly goes into midnight blue*
Jin: Alright, let's do it!
*The two of them charge at Graves and they engage in combat.
Sonjo: You're going to regret the day you met me!
Shenrei: Would it be too late if I said I do now?
Sonjo: I'm gonna save Skia' from your Principality!
Shenrei: Heh, go ahead and try…
(Meanwhile…)
Graves: *Evil laugh* You boys are starting to lose your footing! Don't tell me that you aren't able to keep up with me now?
Jin: This is ridiculous! How the hell are we not able to just easily defeat him?
Khan: Please tell me you've at least been working on a new technique or something Jin!
Jin: No sorry, I got nothing.
Khan: *Growls…* This might be more intense than we thought.
(After a long time of fighting, Jin, Sonjo, and Khan are all worn out. Contrarily, Shenrei and Graves look as if they just started fighting.)
Shenrei: Unbelievable, I thought you all were supposed to be formidable. It seems my old Master has chosen some poor students this time.
Graves: You runts aren't even enough to make for a decent warm up.
Jin: I can't believe this is happening right now.
Khan: I know, what kind of trickery is this?
Sonjo: I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty much beat. I won't be able to continue this much longer.
Master Tazz: That's good, because now the training exercise is finally over.
Jin: Huh?
(The three of them open their eyes again, and realize that the last portion they experienced never happened, it was just part of the training exercise.)
Sonjo: Wait, what?
Khan: Where are Shenrei and Graves?
Master Tazz: They were never here, that was all in your mind.
Sonjo: So, us losing to them with very little effort…
Master Tazz: Never happened, more thoughts into your worst fears.
Khan: I'll say. Losing to either of those two would be VERY humiliating.
Jin: Especially Graves, he's nothing special.
Master Tazz: So now that you've finished, you all have what you need to continue to improve and push forward.
Jin: Right!
Khan: I'm gonna have fun destroying them!
Sonjo: And I'm gonna enjoy bringing Skia' back to us!
Khan: You sure that isn't more so just for you?
Sonjo: Of course not! What do you think I am, selfish?
Jin: Hmmm…
Sonjo: Don't answer that.
Master Tazz: Alright then, let's head back to the Blitzwing. It's time for us to put them on the backfoot.
