~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The days carry on like this and Imaku begins to grow restless. He has nothing productive to do and it’s beginning to take its toll on him. He has taken to wandering the halls alone and thinking about nothing in particular. It is on one such trip that he runs into Okena. At first he just walks by her, then changes his mind and turns around.
“Hey Okena, can I ask you something?” he says. “I haven’t done anything important since I got here and I’m getting bored. When is anything gonna happen?” he whines.
“Suki’s right, you really are a child,” Okena mumbles under her breath.
“Huh?” asks Imaku, who luckily didn’t quite hear her.
“Never mind. Well you’re in luck, m’lord. I have just received orders that you are to start private combat training with me at seven o’clock sharp tonight!” she says out loud. Imaku’s face brightens up.
“Now that sounds like fun!” he says excitedly. His tail starts wagging and he takes off down the hall, occasionally leaping onto the walls and taking a few steps before coming back down. A mischievous smile creeps onto Okena’s face
“Fun indeed,” she says quietly.

At the appointed time, Imaku shows up at the training hall in sweatpants and a grey tee-shirt. He looks inside and doesn’t see Okena, so he waits. About two minutes later, he spots Okena walking toward him and he waves. She nods, comes and unlocks the door, then turns to Imaku.
“Once we enter this room, I am no longer your friend, but your commanding military officer,” she says officially. Imaku nods and crosses the threshold.
“You’re late, maggot! Drop and give me twenty!” shouts Okena viciously.
“But I-” Imaku starts
“Butts are for crapping!” Okena cuts him off. “Twenty-five!”
“You just said-”
“Thirty!” Okena yells even louder. Imaku gets down on the ground and does thirty push-ups without breaking a sweat.
“I meant sit-ups, maggot!” Okena shouts again. Imaku gets on the ground and does thirty sit-ups with ease, then stands back up.
“Good, we understand each other,” she says in a more normal voice. “Now see those pods over there?” she asks. Imaku nods, now a bit afraid to even speak.
“Those are simulator pods. Your body will feel the effects of every blow and wound. You will physically sustain no wounds or fatal impacts, but there will be bruises, soreness, and fatigue,” she explains, making Imaku look a little worried. “Get in! We’re going to see what you can really do,” Okena says. Imaku reluctantly climbs into the pod as does Okena. Their forms materialize in a forest clearing.
“Okena, I can’t figh-” Imaku starts. Before he can finish, three needles thud into his chest and his body falls over onto the ground. Another Imaku materializes and he looks down at his own bleeding corpse. His eyes nearly pop out of his head and the looks back up at Okena.
“What the f-” three more needles hit his chest and his body falls over on top of his other one.
“This is going to be a long three hours,” sighs Okena casually as third Imaku appears. She draws three more needles
