Drawing his blaster pistol Private First Class Slick silently came upon his target.  Even though he knew he was only in a combat simulation adrenaline rushed into his body.  He moved from cover to cover, making as little noise as possible.  The New Republic officer that Slick was stalking was unaware of his stalker.  Within moments of his silent approach Slick was right beside the officer.

"Good night sir." Slick murmured as he raised the blaster to the officers temple.

The officer gave a small cry of alarm a split second before the blaster bolt split his skull.  As the officer dropped to the floor an alarm began to wail.  Looking around the Imperial Stormtrooper saw a young rebel trooper over by the wall, grinning.

"Where did you come from?" snarled Slick.

"You're not the only one who can sneak Imperial." the trooper replied.

"Doesn't matter.  You're dead anyways."  with that the young stormtrooper opened fire.

With the reflexes of a star-fighter pilot, the rebel trooper rolled to the side.  Slick's shots hit the wall where the rebel had been, and within moments it was Slick who was dodging fire.  The shots criss-crossed in the air, until movement itself was dangerous.  The stormtrooper glanced towards the main entrance as the thud of combat boots came from the connecting corridor.  Much to his surprise the rebel trooper hit the door release.  The large durasteel door slammed to the floor and locked.  It would take a crew to get that door open from the outside Slick thought to himself.

"This dance is between you and I Imperial." said the trooper with a smile. "Who are you?  I'd like to know just who has given me such a challenge... before I kill you."

Slick straightened to his full height. "I am Private First Class Slick.  Special Operations trooper."

"Ah.  Special Operations.  I am Corporal Braxton.  New Republic Commando."  the rebel trooper said as his smile grew wider.

The two faced each other, and for a moment it was a contest of wills.  Neither man showed any sign of backing down however.  As if a signal had been given the two fired at the same instant.  Slick ran for cover as he fired, and rolled behind a stack of crates.  The blaster in his hand was vibrating furiously.... indicating a nearly depleted power pack.

"It seems they train Imperials alittle better nowadays." laughed Braxton.

"You're not walking out of here alive... You know that right?" Slick fired back.

"We can't keep this up all day.  My blaster is running a little low..."

Thinking for a moment Slick said, "Yeah, so what?"

"How about a duel?  Just you and me Imperial.  To see who the better soldier is.  I am very impressed with you.  Not only did you sneak in under my nose, but you're still alive as well."

"...... All right.  A duel then." 

With that said, both troopers emerged from their hiding places, and turned to face each other.  Both men holstered their weapons, and prepared themselves for this grueling test.

As he stared at his opponent, Slick knew that he was out matched in this contest.  It had been an effort just to stay alive during the firefight, and now he had a duel to win!  His fingers tensed over the butt of his pistol.  He had always been a quick draw, and had won a fair share of duels, but Braxton was faster.  The young Imperial was relying on luck to see him through this alive.  Sweat rolled down his face as he waited.

"Whenever you're ready." said Braxton with a smile.

Slick's hand shot downwards with stunning speed.  He gripped his blaster, and cleared the holster.  As he brought the weapon up Braxton fired.  The bolt caught Slick high in the right shoulder.  His pistol fell from his hand as searing pain ripped through his body.  He realized that he couldn't feel his arm as he fell to the floor.  With a chilling laugh Braxton approached the wounded Imperial.

"It seems you weren't that fast after all."  he said as he placed the barrel against Slick's forehead.  As the shot rang out the Imperials world went black.

His body jerked as he was pulled back into consciousness.  A mask of pain, and horror was frozen onto his face.  Soft laughter rang in his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes.  He gave a small start as Otto Vox's face loomed in front of his eyes.  As he looked around he noticed the rest of Wraith squad was there as well.  And they were laughing at him!

"Wha... what are you guys doing here?" he asked, still a little disoriented.

"Lukas wanted to test his slicing skills so he sliced into the simulation board.  You weren't much of a challenge for Lukas' simulation Slick." said Kuroishi laughing.

Slick looked at Lukas, as Snipes helped him from the simulation chair. "That was your doing?  That... that... that Braxton was you?!"

With a small laugh Lukas half bowed, "Not bad eh?  Actually I don't think many people would be a match for the program I just made.  It gave you a run for your money."

"It was definatly intense.  I wasn't a match for it."  Slick agreed.

Kuroishi thought for a moment. "Lukas?  Can you run that program in a hand-to-hand combat mode?  Or make several of those Braxton guys to fight at once?"

"Well... yeah.  Of course I can.  I don't know why you'd want me to though."  replied Lukas slowly.

"I think I just found out how Wraith will do it's combat training from now on.  Individually and as a squad.  Slick lost one on one with this sim.  I want to see how the rest of us would do.  If we can beat this thing... well.... then nothing could stop us in combat."  said Kuroishi with a smile. "So get ready.  We've got a sim to run!"
