There’s the part where Richie becomes Gear (though he has no hero name) to save Virgil since Ebon suspects he’s Static (which he is, so lucky him). Anyway, I think Ebon is the one who comments on the new guy dressed in whats barely passable as a costume and Static says “It’s a work in progress. I want to call him Robin the Boy Wonder.” Richie responds: “Uh… No.” “See? We’re still working on it.”

It’s and excerpt but the training is about to begin.

“I guess it couldn’t hurt to try.” Dunimas moaned. The old man wheeled around on his cane.

“Then it’s settled. Meet me on Mou-“

“No no no! This isn’t some old corny movie where this kid gets trained by some old guy and has to climb up some ridiculously large mountain just to get to his house, just to have to do a bunch of chores which secretly teaches him how to fight!” Dunimas refused.

“Oh…fine!” The old man said. His eyebrows formed a frown before stroking his incredibly long beard.

“No, ‘oh fine’!”

Dunimas turned around and saw Nora’s boiling red face.

“I’m going to teach you and that’s final!” She roared.

“So I’ll eventually learn how to fight by jumping off cliffs.” Dunimas said squinting his eyes in annoyance.

“I was just joking. You’re going to follow me, walk inside my dojo, pay 75 dollars, bow down, and then I train you.” She instructed.

“Why do I have to pay 75-“

“What did I just tell you to do?!” Nora interrupted.

“ I follow you, walk in, bow down to 75 dollars and you’ll train me.” Dunimas said acting as if he misheard her.

“Hey, he’s my-“

“No! You bow down to me!” she screamed standing on her toes and cutting Master Yin off.

“Oh, so I walk in, bow down to 75 dollars, bow down to you, you scream at me, then you train me.” Dunimas said.

“Dunimas, just how dumb are you?” Nora asked.

“It varies.” Dunimas admitted rubbing the back of his head.

“I’m gonna teach you how to fly and shoot energy waves and lift buildings and a buncha other cool stuff.” She smiled. She seemed legitimate, especially when Dunimas remembered that thrashing Haden put on him and how Arre healed him.

“Wait a sec,” Dunimas said looking around, “Where’s Arre?!” Dunimas shrieked.

“As far as I know, you dropped her like a sissy once you saw Haden’s son, Exsusia, pop up in front of you. She’s in good hands though.” Nora said.

“You’re knowledge length must only be an inch then.” Dunimas mumbled.

“Look, I can train you or I can drain you!” She threatened.

“‘Train me or drain me’, that sounds so wrong!” Dunimas remarked.

“I do not mean that kinda ‘drain’!” She said annoyed.

“Okay, but you’d better be more specific from now on. Being specific can determine whether you have a baby at a hospital or in a bathtub.” Dunimas pointed out.

“You know, let’s just get on with the lesson. The key to flying is jumping…and missing the ground.” She revealed.

“Really?! Alright then!” Dunimas said before jumping down the cliff.

“Once you get down there, tell the ground I said hello!” Nora laughed.

“Will do-wait what?! I’m gonna hit the-” Dunimas began but was cut off from his face plummeting hard into the hard, rocky ground. “I didn’t even figure out how I got here.” He moaned. He stood up, he was surprised. He felt just fine when he shook the dirt from his cloths. “Oh, I forgot. Ground, Nora said hello. By the way, she’s a retard.” He said. Dunimas looked up and saw Nora laughing at him.

“You’re the retard! ‘The key to flying is jumping…and missing the ground.’! I thought you’d at least ask how to miss the ground!” She laughed.

“How many mystical tacos must you scoff down your throat to realize that you’re mum left at 9 this morning-leave me alone!” Dunimas said.

“Whatever.” She said rolling her eyes.

“Okay, can I please speak to someone with the IQ higher than a rabbit?” Dunimas asked.

“Then go speak to a rabbit.” She countered.

“Why would I go speak to a rabbit I’m not in Alice and Wonderland.” Dunimas said squinting his eyes.

“Did someone say, ‘Alice in Wonderland’?” Dunimas heard. He turned around. No one there. He turned around once more. Still no one. He felt something cold and hard tap the back of his head.

“Alright who is that?!” Dunimas yelled turning around. There was a man balancing perfectly on a staff. He had an extremely long white beard which looked to Dunimas about 15 feet long. “What are you doing over here? The retirement home is over there!,” said Dunimas in an adult voice pointing in a random direction, “These are vegetables…”

“Really? ‘Vegetables’?” Nora said with her hands on her hip.

“The girl’s right!” The old man yelled.

“This is why I will never do drugs when I grow up.” Dunimas mumbled to himself.

“There you are!” Dunimas heard. He whirled his head around and beheld a red-haired boy in white cloths. He then swung a katana at Dunimas.

“Whoa, you’re the one with the sword and I’m not even scared-and I’m a coward! You really stink at this stuff! Maybe you should try a new hobby…how about knitting?” Dunimas joked just barely missing the blade.

“Rgh, enough of your jokes! I’ve come to kill you and take Arre back!” He yelled.

“Fine, but you’ll have to try and hit me with your oversized sewing needle.” Dunimas grinned.

“That’s enough!” The boy yelled at the top of his lungs. He then swung at Dunimas again.

“You know you should get two swords, then you might actually get some awards. Kid in white clothes, last place in participation for knitting!” Dunimas joked once more.

“This isn’t some crazy rap-battle! I want to kill you! Now stand still you crazy fool!” The boy growled.

“Um, mind telling me why you’re mad at me? There’s no need for jealousy.” Dunimas shrugged.

“If you rap one more time you’re dead!” The boy thundered, charging at Dunimas.

“I didn’t even rap! Besides even if I rap I’m dead anyway. You tried to kill me before I did anything!” Dunimas pointed out.

“Shut up!” The boy roared before Dunimas hightailed away as fast as he could.

(Dunimas after being healed and Exsusia finding him for the first time)

“There you are!” Dunimas heard. He whirled his head around and beheld a red-haired boy in white cloths. He then swung a katana at Dunimas.

“Whoa, you’re the one with the sword and I’m not even scared-and I’m a coward! You really stink at this stuff! Maybe you should try a new hobby…how about knitting?” Dunimas joked just barely missing the blade.

“Rgh, enough of your jokes! I’ve come to kill you and take Arre back!” He yelled.

“Fine, but you’ll have to try and hit me with your sewing knitting needles.” Dunimas grinned.

“That’s enough!” The boy yelled at the top of his lungs. He then swung at Dunimas again.

“Okay, I don’t want to fight, just go away alright?” Dunimas rhymed without realizing it.

“This isn’t some crazy rap-battle! I want to kill you! Now stand still you crazy fool!” The boy cut off Dunimas rapping.

“Um, mind telling me why you’re mad at me? There’s no need for jealousy.” Dunimas shrugged.

“If you rap one more time you’re dead!” The boy thundered, charging at Dunimas.

“I didn’t even rap! Besides even if I rap I’m dead anyway. You tried to kill me before I did anything!” Dunimas pointed out.

(Dunimas hightails it like a coward)
