It’s been about three days since Jack told the girls about his powers and answered most of their questions. But at one point Jack just got tired so he stopped answering after around twenty questions. After the fight with Nightmare Moon Celestia told Jack that one of the new Eclipse members would be coming to his bar today. She told him that they would come bearing the Eclipse symbol and that they were in the age range from fourteen to seventeen. He didn’t know the time they would show but he knew it was today. It’s been three hours since he opened the bar and no new faces it was ten thirty by the time a new face came through his door.

She was a young girl no more than sixteen if Jack had to guess, she was five eight one hundred sixty five pounds. She sported short spiky black hair and sunglass. Jack wondered if she was a douchebag, after all the only people Jack knew that wore sunglasses inside were douchebags or the blind and she didn’t look blind. She wore a black shirt and blue jeans. She walked over to Jack and looked him over as he stood behind his bar.

“You want something kid, cus if you don’t then you need to step away from the bar.”

She tossed Jack a piece of paper with the Eclipse symbol. “Are you the man that's supposed to be training me? If you are you don’t look like much.”

A vane in Jack’s head bulged out as he covered her mouth as he leaned in and spoke. “Shut up and go sit down in a empty booth.”

“Fine,” she said removing his hand “but don’t take long. I don’t want to be here any longer then i have to.” Walking over to the empty booth that Jack gestured for her to sit down.

Jack rubbed his face as Berry walked over to him.

“That one of the kids the old boss sent?”

Jack looked up at her and simply noded.

“How many more?”

“There should be four more coming. I think they should be staying at a local hotel while I teach them, as well as go to school.”

“Why are they going to school, kinda dumb really? They should only focus on training, no?”

“She’s giving what little time of a normal life they have left to them.”

Berry shook her head in disagreement. “That's a mistake she need’s to make them soldiers not kids.”

“Maybe she just wants to give them what we didn’t have, a childhood.”

Berry didn’t like the idea of these kids with pasts that they had no idea of just coming here, it could end very poorly. Not to mention the enemy’s they’ll make, this is not a job one takes lightly.

“So what are you going to do now? You can’t close this early, it’s only ten thirty.”

Jack stood up and made his way to the kitchen as he opened the door he looked back at Berry. “Im going to make her some food, she has had a long trip she’s gotta be hungry.

Shade was sitting in the booth for fifteen minutes growing more calm with each passing moment. Normally she’d be anoud by the fact that it took her hours to get to this run down town and bar. To top it off the guy that was supposed to teach her looked like nothing more than some boring bartender, and not some super soldier as she was lead to believe. The only strong looking one was some steroid filled man with a mohawk, and he didn’t even seem like much. Five moves tops, and she could beat him, the bartender on the other hand would be more like five seconds.

Shade’s attention was drawn to the woman Jack just got done talking to as she walked over to her, taking the seat in front her. Shade couldn’t figure out if she just wanted something or if she was sizing her up.

“You think he’s weak don’t you?”

Shade was caught off guard for a second. How did she know what she was thinking. Before Shade could talk Jack’s companion spoke again.

“That’s why Jack is so dangerous. His body is full of limiters including those gauntlets and shoes of his. They make him appear weak but don’t you dare underestimate him because if you do. You will die.”

Shade narrowed her eyes at Berry. “He’s supposed to train me, so I guess he can’t be that weak.”

“If you have your doubts why don’t you challenge him? After dinner of course.”

“Dinner?”

As if on cue Jack walked out of the kitchen holding a plate and a glass of water, Berry got up and patted Jack on his shoulder as she went back to her drink. He placed the plate of food and glass of water on the table. To Shades surprise she had no idea what had been placed before her,The piece of food was bacon wrapped around something with parsley on top coated in red wine and soy sauce. It smelled delicious as she took the knife and fork that he gave to her and cut a piece off and eat it. As she took her first bite she noticed an explosion of flavor. With each bite her appetite only grew, and before she new it she already finished.

Shade looked at Jack with a look of astonishment. “What was that?”

Jack smiled as he sat down where Berry was. “I’ll tell you kid but first you gotta do something for me alright?”

“What would that be?”

“Mind telling me why you got those glasses on? ”

Shade didn’t see anything wrong with the request, especially since this man was supposed to teach her.

“My eyes are sensitive to light so I keep them on so I can see easier.”

Jack smiled. “So far so good.” He thought to himself.
“Alright kid I got one more question for you.”

“And that is?” Shade was happy about that, she didn’t like the fact that she was already being questioned.

Jack smiled his devil grin as he spoke. “What do you got?”

“What?”

Jack said it slower this time, as if she was a kid who still didn’t know how to speak.
“What made you so special that Celestia made you come all the way out here in the stick to be trained by an old soldier?”

“For one I was trained in martial arts and how to wield various weapons since I was little-”

“You know what, I changed my mind, let's do something else.”

Jade was was caught off guard by this surely “That was rude.”

“Yeah I know but I was getting bored. I’m not used to listening to what people have to say when I know it’s going to be a long list. So let's just go talk with our fist instead. It's faster and I find it easier to understand people that way.” Jack proceed to stand up and toss his keys at Berry for them to only bounce off her head and land on the counter.

Shade just looked confused as he made his way to the exit. Jack looked back over to her as he gestured her to follow him.

[Just outside the Everfree]

“Alright kid this should be far enough. Now for this sparring match I would like it if you went all out.”

Shade raised an eyebrow at this. This man didn’t even know if she had any powers that would threaten his life but he wanted to go all out? “Alright, don’t die.”

Jack laughed as he slipped his shoes and gloves off. “If I lost to a snot nose brat like you I couldn’t call myself a soldier.”

Shade charge at Jack with blinding speed. She would not be mocked by some two bit bartender. Shade’s fist collide with Jack's face with enough force to break stone. She smiles as she watched the man fly into a nearby tree smashing it into pieces.However, her smile quickly fade as her eyes widen as the man stands back up with a stare that could kill.

“I made a mistake kid, I thought you were gonna be some skilled fighter or something and you have nothing to back it up other then that.” Jack brushed himself off as he faced her. The look on Jack’s face made Shade uneasy, no not uneasy this was something else, a feeling she has only felt from her father. True killing intent.

“Don’t get me wrong kid but without some form of power your skill will never get you far enough in the world of combat.” Shade was put off by his voice, even though she still felt his killing intent he sounded as if he was praising.

“Now let me show you the power I’ve gain to make my skill even greater.” Jake took a deep breath as he spoke. “Second gate, open.” There was no change in his appearance not even a little. Jack smiled as he gestured with his right hand for her to come at him.

Shade launched herself with immense force towards Jack leaving an indent in the ground. Shade release a onslaught of punches at Jack. To the untrained eye it would look like Shade’s arm were gone and gusts of wind were flying at Jack only for the wind to not even get close to him. “How is he doing this?” Shade thought to herself. He was dodging all of her blows as if they were nothing. Shade’s eyes widened as she noticed something that really pissed her off. He was started to laugh.

“This is fun kid, you far exceeded my expectation.” Jack’s eyes narrowed as Shade felt the murderous intent again as Jack continued to speak. “Let’s see what else you got.” Jack hand’s finally left his side as he used the palms of his hands to redirect Shade’s fist with ease. But to Shade it felt a little more than that, just on the outside of Jack’s hands she could see a blue aura.

Shade was caught off guard by the sudden pressure below her ribs as she looked down to see that his left hand’s index finger was plunged into her. She was caught off guard by the sudden burst of power sending her flying back into the ground. Shade collected herself as she stood up and faced him again.
“Alright that was a nice evaluation let’s get going shall we?” Jack smiled at her as he turned his back on her and started to walk away.

Shade’s eye’s narrowed in rage as she charge at him. This man challenged her and he’s leaving? “I will not let you leave so easily!”

Jack turned his head and looked at Shade for a split second as he vanished for him to reappear behind her. Shade tried to turn toward to face Jack only for her to fall to the ground. Her entire body didn’t listen to her no matter how hard she tried not even her a finger would move.

“You see your probably wondering, what the hell did he do? Well I’ll tell, I literally punched all the magic out of you.”

Shade’s eye’s widen in shock at what Jack just told her. Was that even possible, she knew of cases where people had their magic drained out of them but that involved machines or variance spells. But to do it with your fist, is that even possible?

“If you're familiar with the way magic courses through body’s then with the right hits you can force magic out of the person body. The only problem with that is that everybody has one hundred and eighty different points for your magic to course through and there all in unique spots for each person. But let’s say someone would perhaps send a wave of magic through that person body to help locate them. But when would someone do that, maybe when that said someone did it when he jabbed you in the ribs with his finger or maybe sent magic through your fist when blocking them with his fist .”

Shade was shocked at what she was hearing. This man had won this battle before it started without even making a fist he already won none the less. This man was someone that she could Respect. “I just want you to know kid that you're not week. Infact with my training you will be next to impossible to beat by the time i’m done with you.” Jack started to walk away as before he told her two more thing. “Don’t visit me till next week, by then your team should be here, and one more thing.” Jack’s voice was cold and empty as if all the life in it was gone, and the only thing left in him was death. “If you ever try to betray to me I will destroy not just your body but mind. And i’ll make sure after i’m done you’ll stay down longer than ten minutes.”

Shade had the next ten minutes to think over what her teacher has told her.
