X met IO in the training room. It was a very expansive room. It was just as high as it was wide. The entire room was covered with white panels. In between each panel there was a sheet of what looked like black glass. Light, or energy flowed in pulses under the glass. It coarsed through the walls, floor, and ceiling. It made the room look like it was alive with power. IO entered the room, and was looking very impressed. X stood there, taking in the size of the room. IO walked over to meet him. He saw X staring up at the bay windows which looked down upon the training room.
"X, good to see you again.", IO smiled. "What are you doing?" X looked as if he were lost in thought.
"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking. Zero and I used to practice here alot. We spent long days training to be the best. Now Zero's sick, and I don't know if he'll pull through."
"I know what it is like to lose someone you care about, but try not to think that way. Zero will make it. He is strong. Even though he was weak when I met him, I could feel his power. Anyway, I'm told that you are to be my sparing partner. Shall we begin?"
"Alright, tell you what....we'll make it interesting."
X held up his wrist, and spoke to the communicator.
"Control room, X here. We're ready for you."
The tech in the room was named Jazz.
"Okay X, we're on-line, and ready to go. What program do you want us to run?", Jazz asked. She spoke with a light, happy voice. "Jazz, execute program 1138, then wait for my signal."
"Roger.", Jazz agreed. The line disconnected. Suddenly the lights went off. X could feel IO tense up.
"Relax, we don't begin yet.", he said.
"I thought it was to be a sneak attack.", he muttered.
He was already powering up his defense field.
Suddenly IO felt strange. The light returned, but as thousands of tiny pin-pricks. At his feet he saw a brown cratered rock, and it looked as if he were in space.
"What is this?", he asked. He was rigid.
"A little joke I guess. We made a programmed simulation just for you. Right now you are on IO, the moon of Jupiter.
Look over there, the planet should be visible in a few moments.", X said as he gestured. Sure enough, the planet Jupiter rose into full view. IO stepped back agahst.
"This is some room!", he replied.
"Yeah, don't let it distract you though, because I'm not going to take it easy on you! I hear you're pretty tough, so I've been told to give you a good match."
IO took his stance, "I'm sure you won't disappoint!"
