25 Testing *

They began their shopping journey. However, instead of flying to each destination they walked, of course, they had Ryley make sure It's safe.

Their first destination was Target. Their main goal at Target was to get some undergarments, as they had a different store in mind for the rest of their clothes. When they walked into the store a putrid smell smashed them right in the face.

Looking around they noticed a few corpses, one beast and a few humans. Each of them looked like they had been rotting for a while, it looked disgusting and smelled even worse. They quickly went in and grabbed some undergarments before running out.

Alfredo, however, took his time, when he walked out the kids were the first to notice what he got, skipping ropes. They knew their training load increased.

They continued their journey for new clothes and they finally reached their final destination, SportsPower.

A bit traumatised by their previous encounter they were a bit hesitant. Opening the door they realised there was no horrible smell. Walking around they didn't see any corpses and it felt great.

They quickly went and grabbed some duffel bags and other large bags, everyone grabbed two each. One of which was very quickly filled with various clothes. There were tank tops, shorts, short-sleeved shirts, socks and a couple jumpers in the guy's bags. Although it was currently summer, they wanted to grab everything they can.

As for the girl's bags. There were leggings, shorts, tank tops, short-sleeved shirts, socks as well as jumpers and jackets.

Everyone then walked over to the shoe section, while they were at it they may as well get some new and comfortable shoes. Everyone quickly found shoes they liked and put them on before walking out.

Lachlan summoned his Rocs, Lachlan quickly realised they felt different, stronger and more intimidating, obviously, he quickly realised it was due to what happened last night. It wasn't just him either, everyone took a step back as the pressure the Rocs were giving off was insane.

--------------------------------------------------------

It was just as Lachlan suspected. He quickly commanded that the Rocs release the pressure and they did.

Everyone got on and they flew back to the apartments to drop off everything they got. Once they finished that they got back onto the Rocs and travelled to an open plain a kilometre away from the city.

Ryley summoned his lizards.

"Summon Surprise, Ninja, and Ambush!"

The three lizards stood before them, they looked exactly the same.

"Do you guys have a special move you can use?" Ryley enthusiastically asked.

They stared at him then nodded. However, not all of them went forward, only two.

*Stomp*Stomp*Stomp*Stomp*

They began stomping of the ground at the same tempo, everyone began to feel the group shake before it hit them.

The ground began rupturing, splitting apart. Everyone quickly realised what the lizards were doing, they were creating an earthquake.

The stomping similar to the lightning, continued for ten minutes before the lizards were exhausted. However, the damage they caused in that ten minutes was insane. The entire landscape around them had been ruptured, the hill not too far from them broke apart, trees were scattered everywhere.

It caused a lot more damage then the lightning did, but the group did quickly realise that this move wouldn't do as much damage to enemies as the lightning did.

"Damn, although it was pretty epic I kind of wanted more," Ryley said.

"Jeez, what else do you want, a meteor to fall from the sky?" Alfredo asked.

"Exactly!" Ryley shouted.

Everyone facepalmed and thought the same thing, 'This idiot'.

"You know it could do a lot more damage in certain environments?" Alfredo said.

"What environments?" Ryley asked.

"Mountains and caves, using that skill would probably break apart mountains and collapse caves, which would kill everything in it," Alfredo explained.

"huh, true, I suppose it would kill a lot," Ryley said.

After that, they tried a few more things. They tried to use the skill with only one lizard, it didn't work. Lachlan had tried to use two Rocs to summon the lightning, it failed. After a few hours of testing and resting they tried one last thing, using all three lizards to use the special move, the results were shocking the say the least.

It seemed the power had doubled, the shaking intensified and all the ground around them shattered and ruptured. The surrounding environment was a complete mess, its shocked that it only took three lizards to do such damage.

Lachlan began to see a pattern and knew how the special abilities worked. From what he's observed it take three beasts at the adolescence to even perform it, two are the adult stage and if his theory is correct, it'll only take one elder.

He began shivering at another thought. If three adult lizards could do so much damage, then what would three or even more elders do. However, Lachlan did realise that so far on this journey he has yet to witness an elder beast.

They went back to the apartments to take a break. The group already decided to stay for another night, they really enjoyed it here, there were almost no disturbances and they were free to do whatever they wanted.

Alfredo got the boys to begin training a bit earlier, of course, that was because the training was going to be longer.

They now had to do skipping, when asked why they got an entire lecture about the importance of skipping and having good control over the lower body, they did skipping for an hour. They then repeated the routine they did last time, this was for two hours, which exhausted the boys, well, except Lachlan.

Lachlan seemed more energetic than ever, the exercise didn't exhaust him at all and he felt like he could go on forever, his body felt great and fit, something he wasn't used to.

After the training, they went to the shower and had some snacks. Adam got everyone to gather outside, he had some news to tell.
