The Jump 2

Jace, while jumping between the branches, looks below him. For a few seconds he is amazed as he feels like he is floating.

That feel is quickly gone as Jace arrives at the branch across from him. Jace then lands how he has practiced many times on the target branch. Jace safely lands and stands still for a couple seconds.

After Jace had registered that he did it he puts his arms up. 'I did it! All the training paid off!'. Jace then turns to Reaper who is flying above him and shouts "I did it!"

Jace is met with a chirp from Reaper. After Jace finishes celebrating he jumps back to the original branch, grabs his throwing knives and heads down the tree.

He then arrives to his branch drawing and erases them before starting to draw again. As Jace is doing this Reaper flies down and inspects what Jace was doing.

Reaper then chirps at Jace which makes Jace look over to him. Jace can sense that Reaper is questioning what Jace is doing sense he completed what the drawings trained him for.

This makes Jace laugh and respond "I'll exsplain bud. What I was training for and completed was jumping once between branches while preparing and calculating between each jump. What I want to be able to do is be able to jump between branches quickly and repeatedly back to back."

Jace then looks over to Reaper who gives a chirp and a nod telling Jace to continue. Jace continues "So what I am doing now is making a long line of branches. These branches will all have different distances apart and some will have different widths. I will then try to jump as fast as posible between them without falling or messing up. After I achieve a perfect full run, I am going to change all the branches distance and width. That way I will have a varied run like in real life."

Jace turns once again to Reaper who chirps before flying off. Jace just smile and shakes his head while continuing to draw his branches.

Jace finishes drawing drawing around sunset and decides to do one run through. He then goes to one side of the line of branches and gets ready. As Jace is doing this Reaper sets up perch on a branch to watch him.

Jace steps onto the first branch and jumps off to the next one. Jace lands this with ease and decides to speed up. This time he jumps a little unbalanced but still lands the jump easily and perfect.

So Jace decides to continue what he was doing. After another 2 jumps of landing the jumps at the increased speed he decides to increase the speed again.

This time as soon as Jace lands on the branch he is practically immediately jumping again. This works for a few jumps until in his haste he uses too much power in his jump. This coupled with the fact that the branch was not very wide caused him to lose his balance when he landed.

Jace then tried to fix his balance but eventually had to take a step off the branch to stop him from falling on his face. This of course ment that Jace had failed the run. This failure was met with a chirp from Reaper which made Jace turn to him.

Jace then says "What did you say?" which Reaper just looked away in silence. Jace then shakes his head and says "It's getting dark lets have dinner."

Reaper immediately flew to Jace hearing this and they walked into the safe house.

At the DSC school in another state the Captain sat with Charlie on top of the school. The were both looking at the demon camp that had become much more.

The demons had taken ruins from the surroundings and had made a perimeter wall that was what appeared to be at least 10 feet tall.

There had not been an attack sense the demons had attacked the fence but the Captain expected it would come very soon.

And sure enough that day as they were observing the demons a part of the wall swung open like a gate. What came out was as usual a line of demons that were spread out enough to counter explosions.

This made the Captain from his place on top of the school yell "There is an attack! Everyone to your positions!" Before the Captain had even finished Charlie had already run down the stairs to do his part in the defense.

The Captain saw that everything was good and went to observe this attack line. He saw that everything looked the same except that there appeared to be more demons than before.

After seeing this he went down to tell the forces that they would use the vehicles like they planned last time.

A few minutes passed and the demons got a few hundred feet from the fence that had been repaired the best it could. When the demons arrived at the fence they were met with all the army vehicles turning on and revving as well as the normal gun fire and supernatural attacks.

The demons knocked down the fence with little damage and continued towards the next fence which they also destroyed. When they did they were met with all the army vehicles running at them at full throttle.

This attack by the army managed to destroy the demon attack and kill them all. The Captain saw that this worked amazingly and sighed in relief as this meant that there was still another unaffected fence before the school for protection.

The Captain then realized that there was no sound from the demons but he didn't care as he was successful in his attack.

The vehicles then returned to their original positions and everyone was then assigned to either clean the vehicles or fix the fences. After that the school had an uneventful night of repair and cleaning.
