Chapter 3

The drone hovered among the boulders, its sensors scanning for its targets. It detected a flash off to the right, and activated a deflector shield just in time to stop a ball of energy aimed for its optical sensor. The drone retaliated with a precise beam of energy that sliced through the rock formation where the ball had originated from. The formation crumbled, and, detecting no more movement, continued its sweep.

Jake stopped to catch his breath. He was sure that the last blast would have been fast enough to disable the drone, but it had reacted faster than he thought possible. He had barely managed to dodge the falling rubble and dive behind another rock. He knew Dana was somewhere on the other side of the field, also hiding. Reaching out with his mind, he contacted her.

>> Dana. The last attack didn't work. That last drone has faster reflexes than the others. Got any bright ideas?

>>Maybe. I was watching the drone while you were attacking it. It seems that its shield can deflect up to five attacks at full strenth. After that, a small gap appears in it for about two seconds before the shield is fully recharged again.

>>Great. Now we just have to figure out how to attack it six times simultaneously, Jake mindspoke half sarcastically.

>>Actually, I think I know a way how. You remember how they said we could gather energy into a mass without having to directly be in contact with it? Well, what if we were to create five such balls at different locations, launch them all at the probe, and then, while its charging its shield, blast the gap in it?

>>I guess it's worth a try. Just make sure it doesn't sense you or the energy balls.

Jake withdrew his mind from the connection, and felt the contact fade. Focusing, he created two balls of energy, one 15 feet from his current position, one 30 feet away. Dana would be responsible for the other three, and he would be the one to launch the final attack. Sensing the three other energy balls, Jake started a synchronized countdown with Dana, and then released his two energy balls. All five hit the probe within a second of each other, and, as they hoped, the probe started blasting away at the positions the attacks came from. Jake darted from his hiding place, and, gathering all of his remaining energy, transformed it into a physical attack that shattered the drone into dozens of pieces.

"Simulation ended. All 14 drones disabled. Time: fifteen minutes and 29 seconds. Congradulations Mr. Trenton and Ms. Young. You have passed." The speakerphone announced.

Grinning, Jake and Dana ran to each other and embraced. Neither minded the layer of sweat and dust that covered both of them.

"We did it! We're now officially rank 14 psy users!" Jake exclaimed jubilantly. Dana's grin grew even bigger, and she hugged him again, pecking him on the cheek.

They had been training hard for weeks now, exploring and pushing the limits on their abilities, constantly finding new skills that surprised and often delighted the pair. To them, this was almost like a game, to see who could learn the fastest.

The hatch to the training field opened, and Captain Morgan stepped in.

"Congradulations you two. I'm amazed you've gotten so far in just two months. Few people manage to achieve rank 14 even within the first six months of their training. Then again, you Terrans always were fast learners. You two had better go get cleaned up, and rest while you can. We will be arriving on the Federation Capitol planet Halcyon shortly, and there I doubt either of you will get much rest."

Jake and Dana both saluted, and dashed back to their quarters. Once there, Jake stripped and stepped into the bathroom to wash, while Dana went to get something to drink first. The shower was roomy and the water temperature was automated, so Jake just stood there and let the warm water soothe his aching muscles. A few minutes later, he felt a warm naked body pressing against him from behind. A slender hand reached around him wrap around his dick, and started slowly stroking him to hardness.

"Hey sweetie. Think you got enough energy left to take care of this itch I got between my legs?" Dana cooed in his ear, tracing her other hand across his chest.

Grinning, Jake turned around, and pulled Dana against him, his now hard member pressing against her flat stomach. His mouth sought out hers, and soon their tongues were dueling passionately, their hands running all over each others bodies. Jake ran one of his hands down Dana's back, squeezing an ass cheek and then reaching between her legs to rub her pussy lips. Dana groaned, shoving her hips back against his hand.

Grabbing her waist, Jake lifted Dana into the air, and her legs immediately wrapped around his waist. Dana knew what he wanted, and she reached down with one hand, taking hold of his dick and positioning it at the entrance of her pussy, which ached to be filled with his hard cock.

"Don't hold back Jake. I need a good hard pounding right now, and I swear if you don't give it to me you ain't getting laid again for the next month!" Dana growled half menacingly.

Jake was all too happy to oblige. Loosening his hold on her slightly, he let gravity do the work as she slid down, her pussy impaling itself upon his cock. Dana let out a long moan as she felt herself being filled. Soon, she felt his pubic hair pressed against her crotch as he fully entered her. Without pausing, Jake started pumping in and out of her, his crotch grinding against her clit at the end of every stroke, making Dana squirm and buck her hips back against him. Soon, Dana was panting for breath, building towards a huge orgasm.

Jake's arms were quickly growing tired, and he was about to suggest a change of position when he felt her shudder as her pussy contracted, coating his cock with its juices. Dana moaned as her orgasm hit, and collapsed against his chest. Gently lifting her up, Jake set her down on the floor, holding her as she tried to steady her legs. When Dana could think clearly again, she noticed that Jake was still sporting a raging hardon.

"Aww, someone hasn't come yet. How about I give you a blowjob?" Dana asked, starting to get on her knees.
