Minecraft Adventures: Bender Saga (Part 5)

This chapter is only a bridge to the main plot. So, to the end, not that much exciting will happen.

Summary
Daniel met his fellow recruits, namely Will, Mary and Alyssa. After a short introduction, they are up to checking out each others abilities...

Chapter 5: Duel between the recruits
"City flesh, huh?" Alyssa grinned and punched Danny`s shoulder. "Yeah, only been out getting wood or swimming. Where do you guys come from?", Daniel`s answer was. Will was the first one to react and replied: "We will tell you later." Mary was disappointed and said "Will, why not-" All of a sudden, they heard Sherman saying "Good morning, kids!"

"Morning Sherman!" everyone replied in choir. "So, to shape you, I decided to make some sort of duel tournee. You will fight each other in two fights and the winners fight each other. Then I see how I am supposed to train you. If it`s either speed, defensive, offensive, or endurance. Well, who wants to go first?" "I`ll go first, and I challenge Daniel!" Mary shouted, spinning her axe between her fingers. "Okay, Will and Alyssa, you will fight each other after this! Post up!"

Daniel and Mary watched each other, intending to predict the other`s way of battle. Danny thought: "Chain Armor and a light-weighted axe. No good range, but not slowing down. Mary`s strong point must be speed, the battle style of a ninja." Mary on the other hand thought: "Iron Armor and a sword. He is going for defense, trying to tire out his enemy. Won`t work on me."

"FIGHT!" Sherman shouted. Mary swung her axe and charged towards Danny, who wasn`t fast enough to go defensive leaving some scratches in his chestplate and in his face. Danny replied with a series of furious sword attack, managing to get a wound in Mary`s leg, but no deep cut. They kept going on, until Mary swung her axe, hitting Daniel with the hilt stick, but not with the blade itself, hauling him to the other end of the arena. After tanking fury blows of Mary`s and hitting her with the flat side of his sword, she lied on the ground, Daniel being able to do the final blow. Suddenly, a soldier came running, shouting "Another meteor attack, sir!" Sherman turned around, being white by fright: "What? Daniel, Mary, Will, Alyssa, come with me! It seems I have to tell you about everything! You might be surprised!"

They ran after him, Daniel thinking: "I finally get my answer. But what is about these meteor attacks? What does it have to do with us? What?" as he ran into his identity..
