After viewing his results he nodded his head. They were far better than he had expected. He also noticed that he had a lightning-lightning pairing. This meant that both his biological parents were lightning surpa.s.sers. He inwardly thanked them for their good genes. For when it came to your essence, the results were almost fixed. There are cases where when ones certain attributes can go up or down. However, the changes aren't drastic. So one could say your ability to succeed was determined by birth.
After he saw his, he wanted to see Lexi's. So he flipped the page to where it showed hers.

When saw her results, he nodded his head and then smiled.
After Kai was done viewing Lexi's results, Lexi said, ”Now let's test ours together.”
When Jacques heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows, ”What do you mean?”
”Exactly what I said. When my essence enters Kai it mixes and then creates a whole new essence. I want to test the attributes of the combined essence.”
When Jacques heard this he thought his daughter was crazy. Essences don't mix. In fact, they oppose each other. If someone essence enters your body your body destroys it as it is seen as a foreign element. With this known as the truth, how could Lexi say their's combine? It was a preposterous notion to be exact.
Jacques shook his head and then walked to the ring. However, Lexi and Kai stayed. Lexi looked at Kai, ”Are you ready?” Kai nodded his head. When he did, Lexi placed the pad on his arm and then they held hands. While they were holding hands they used each other as a kickstarter and began amplifying their essence lightning. After that, they sent their essence lightning into each other's body until it had fully integrated with each other. Kai then took the combined essence lightning and funnelled it into the machine. When he did, the machine started flas.h.i.+ng blue until the light turned red. Once the light turned red they let go of each other's hands and waited for the results.
Jacques himself was quite curious. He stood in the ring looking from afar. He didn't believe it to be true but what if it was? He knew his daughter and she wasn't crazy so there had to be some truth in what she said. Even if the cause wasn't really the combination of essence lightning.
The machine continued to process the information it received but it was taking its time.
”Does the machine usually take this long?” Kai said breaking the silence.
Lexi shook her head, ”No, it's usually much faster.”
Kai pursed his lips, 'Was it really not the combination of the essence. If not what is it?' But he would soon find out as the results came out the machine. Kai gulped and then walked towards the machine. He took the paper and calmed his pulsating heart; he took a deep breath and then looked at the paper.

After Kai read the paper and then he handed it over to Lexi and just like him she was shocked. Looking at the results they noticed their results had combined. They improved each other's weaknesses. For instance where Kai fell short on the stunning effect Lexi's essence improved it. Where Lexi fell short on amps Kai's essence improved it. Seeing this, Lexi finally understood why she could only project lightning when they were holding hands. It was because the combined essence-lightning had a higher affinity to the proron and exron channels. A higher affinity gave her access to more power than when she was alone. Upon realisation, she smiled.
When Jacques saw their reactions his interest was piqued but he had just stormed off stating how impossible it was. How could he show up in front of them and ask to see the results? So in the end, he fought off his curiosity. But Lexi, as his daughter knew him very well so instead, she walked to him and showed him the results.
When he received it and read it, his eyes bulged. Then he looked towards, Lexi and Kai as excitement welled up inside him. Now he couldn't wait to train them. His emotions were raging but he kept them inside. He then coughed to bring his emotions in check, ”Good, seems you were telling the truth. This is a weapon you can use to shoot up the ladder. I will personally see to it that you get the best out it. But bear in mind there could be others like you out there. Maybe the others are keeping it a secret for if it is discovered it will cause a ruckus. Now, I'm not going to tell you how to use your powers. As partners, that decision belongs to you...” He then cleared his throat again.” Now we begin joint training.”
Lexi and Kai stood ready in the ring. Then Jacques instructed them to both attack him. They were not allowed to fight individually but had to double team him. The purpose of this was obviously to solidify their cohesion. He wanted them to see how they fought and then respond to it. When they b.u.mped into each other or obstructed one another, he would shock them both and point out how they could have done better. Some of the times he was the cause of it. He purposefully engineered a situation where they ran into each other. Jacques was an excellent trainer just from five minutes of fighting he could already tell the fighting style that would suit them best. It was also the same style they would use when they were in sync. This was on rare occasions though. Most of the time they were in each other's way. Both to dominate and compet.i.tive to step down. This wasn't surprising because they both had been fighting alone all their life. Working with someone and trusting someone was harder than it seemed. Especially, when you thought were fully capable to have your own back. Over and over he shouted and shocked them for not being a team player. They continued to b.u.mp and smash into one another for the duration of the training session.
After their training, Jacques took Kai and ran some extra tests on him to give Lexi the full physical chart. When she received it, they went home all battered and bruised. The point was to fight Jacques but instead, they were fighting each other. The ride home was silent. Both of them were too ashamed after today's flop. When they got home it was already 10 pm. Training was supposed to end at 6 but clearly they needed all the time they could get. When they got home they said goodnight to one another and went to bed. They were in bed but no one was sleeping. They both felt like they failed each other but more importantly, they felt they failed themselves. It was a partners.h.i.+p for a reason. They both knew in their minds that they couldn't do it alone. However, it was one thing to know and another to do. But on this night, before they went to bed, they both vowed to themselves and in their hearts, that tomorrow they would be more cooperative.
'Tomorrow it will be different.!'
