Lockjaw had waited patiently in the main chamber for the training to finish. After about ten minutes, Gallon, Amp, and Divebomb had emerged from their respective tunnels, each followed by one of the Shearwig Masters. The Shearwig Masters then got together and faced the group.
“We have unearthed your skills,” said Master Slash. “You have all passed the training and have unleashed your inner strengths. It is now time for the final test.”
“Come with us, if you will,” said Master Slice, as he and the other Shearwig Masters went down the leftmost tunnel, followed by Lockjaw and his friends.
“Wait, when is my training going to start?” asked Lockjaw.
“This is your training,” replied Master Skewer.
“Then why is everyone else coming along?” asked Lockjaw.
“All will be revealed,” said Master Slash as he led them into the last room. This room had one large deep hole in it, which was filled with water. It also had one metal pole in the back. The three Shearwig Masters then flew to the opposite end of the room and faced Lockjaw.
“Now has come the time for your training, Orange one,” said Master Slash. “We will do battle, but you must not attack.”
“Not attack?” said Lockjaw. “Then… how are supposed to do battle?”
“Your companions have great skills. Alone, they were able to best each of us individually,” said Master Slice.
“Your strength combined is surely a force to be reckoned with!” said Master Skewer.
“Your task, Orange one, is that you must direct them, and lead them to victory against us!” said Master Slash. “You are prohibited from attacking and your companions are prohibited from attacking unless instructed by you.”
“Okay, I guess I understand,” said Lockjaw.
“Good. Then… we do battle!” said Master Slash as the Shearwig Masters charged straight for Lockjaw’s team.
“Lockjaw, what do we do?” asked Gallon. “They’re headed straight for us!”
“Well, I think it’d be best if we… moved out the way!” said Lockjaw. He and his friends then dashed out of the way of the Shearwig Masters and huddled up to discuss a strategy.
“Mr. Lockjaw, let me zap ‘em!” said Amp. “I have po-something!”
“I could bring her in closer for the attack!” suggested Divebomb.
“Good idea. Okay, break!” shouted Lockjaw as they all took their fighting positions.
“Divebomb, pick up Amp and carry her close to that pole!” instructed Lockjaw.
“Right away!” said Divebomb. Divebomb swooped down and picked up Amp. He then carried her closer to the metal pole. When close enough, he tossed her and she made a charge in mid-air that was able to ground Master Slice.
“Now, Gallon, take care of Master Slice!” said Lockjaw. Gallon grabbed Master Slice and threw him hard into the hole filled with water.
“I’m not out that easily!” said Master Slice, sputtering while crawling out of the hole. He then flew up and joined the other Shearwigs.
“We have just begun!” said Master Slash. “Now… Shearsaw!” The three Shearwigs then got in a circular formation so their ends were touching and their mandibles were facing outward. They then rapidly began spinning on the ground, and were able to damage Lockjaw and Gallon.
“What do we do, now, Lockjaw?” said Gallon. “They’re spinning too fast to attack!”
“Hmmm… I got it! Gallon, go jump over that hole of water!” replied Lockjaw.
Gallon swiftly crawled over to the hole, with the Shearsaw following closely behind him. While in front of the hole, Gallon jumped over it, luring the Shearsaw in. The Shearwigs then dropped into the water and broke their formation.
“Now, Amp, jump in the water before they can crawl out!” shouted Lockjaw.
“Okey-dokey, Mr. Lockjaw!” she eagerly said as she ran over to the hole and jumped in, standing on the Shearwigs.
“Now, charge up!” commanded Lockjaw. Amp then made a charge which brutally shocked the Shearwigs since they were in water.
“Good job, Amp! Now, leave the hole!” shouted Lockjaw. Amp promptly hopped out of the hole and ran back over to the others.
“Now, Divebomb, finish them off with a bomb rock!” said Lockjaw.
“Can do!” said Divebomb. He then floated over the hole and dropped a bomb rock in. Master Slash managed to crawl out in time, but the explosion blew the other Shearwigs out of the water. They were lying on the ground, moaning.
“You… will... not beat ME so easily…” said Master Slash, weakly. “I am the HEAD Shearwig Master!” He then flew back up into the air, and aimed a Mandiblade straight for Lockjaw.
“Amp, cover me!” shouted Lockjaw. Amp then hopped in front of Lockjaw, painlessly intercepting Master Slice’s attack!
“Divebomb, pick up Gallon and take him closer to Master Slash! Gallon, try to get a hold of Master Slash and slam him down!” ordered Lockjaw.
Divebomb then picked up Gallon, and carried him close to Master Slash. When Gallon was close enough, Divebomb through him, and Gallon got a hold of Master Slash with his teeth! His weight slammed Master Slash down to the ground with powerful force!
“Ugh…” moaned Master Slash. “You have defeated all three of us, only through using the power of teamwork. Orange one, you took command and used your leadership skills to assure your companions’ victory! You all have passed the final test.”
