 This layer is reserved for the private training of Kylie and Miyu. Please keep your prying little noses out. Any trespassers will be thrown out of the training area immediately. (and grey listed!)
As you enter the the second floor, you see it is split into two main areas, both filled with layers. One section has a sign that says "Battles" and the other says "Training." In the middle, dividing the two, is a desk where a Native American women sits, reading a magazine. She looks up as you approach, jots down your name on a piece of paper and hands you a ticket, pointing you to a layer with a corresponding number on the Training side. "Please abide by all the rules and see me if you have any questions. What I'm paid for."

The Headset and Entering
Kylie took her ticket and walked over to the assigned layer without a word, setting her bag down next to the seat and staring at the layer. Well....this was it. Time to start training.
Reaching into her bag, Kylie pulled out Miyu and straightened her outfit carefully, looking her over with pride before laying her down gently in her lap and grabbing the head set that was sitting on the layer in front of her. She looked at it skeptically, then at the people around her wearing them and sighed, putting it on over her pony tail and making sure it didn't get caught in her hair. Once on, she let her eyes adjust to the purple tinted world before moving her hand along the sides of it, looking for an on switch. Right before she gave up, she saw someone at a layer across from her push a button near the ear and her fingers moved in that direction, searching it out. As she pushed it, the 'wings' on the side of the headset popped up and she jumped slightly, rolling her eyes at herself. "Smooth Kylie...oh!" The headset whirred to life, lighting up in front of her eyes and displaying blank stats where Miyu's would be once she placed her on the layer.
It was a different experience, looking through the lit up, techno lense of the headset at the layer. The slight purple tint was the by far the easiest thing to adjust to as she focused on using her mind to move between the different types of things the headset displayed. "Well, won't be sure what half of these do till I put Miyu on the layer I guess...." Holding the angel and looking at the layer she gulped and held her up.
As Miyu left Kylie's finger and flew towards the layer, Kylie whispered "Miyu, may your beauty conquer all." and concentrated on moving the Angel as it passed through the boundary of the Layer. The angel turned once in the air, repositioning so her feet were towards the layer, but her fall was too fast and as she hit the layer, she fell.
"Damn...going to have to work on that..." Kylie huffed and furrowed her brow, focusing on getting Miyu to stand.

The Next Step
Kylie's brow furrowed in concentration as she looked at Miyu standing on the layer. As soon as the angel had entered, the stats int he headset had filled with stats. It listed Miyu's stats she soon realized, and as she willingly focused on different parts of the angel, the screen filled with that parts status, what condition it was in and how much damage it had taken. Luckily, after running through this several times for practice, it was soon apparent that Miyu was in mint condition...as she should be since she had yet to battle.
One that was clear, Kylie's vision refocused on the angel and she bit her lip as she thought of the next step. Walking. Walking would be a good idea. She had read in the manual that visualization was the best way to get the angel to respond to your thoughts so her vision narrowed on Miyu, trying to block out all other things, and she focused on walking. Slowly, the angel started to walk forward. It was shaky, but it was working.
"Best to take things slowly Kylie. Don't get ahead of yourself. Master this before you start doing things halfway." She mumbeled to herself and looked at the clock. "Right...the next 15 minutes is dedicated to pure walking. Nothing else."
As time wore on the angels legs stopped shaking and her movements had become smoother. Soon, she was walking, strutting, and even skipping. True, she stumbled whenever Kylie got too comfortable and wasn't focused enough, but even that stopped after nearly 10 minutes. With a final spin and a pretty curtsy, Kylie nodded and smiled in satisfaction.

Moving on....
After glancing around at the other people training she sighed and started at Miyu, who she made cross her arms and stare back at her as a form of practice while she thought of what to do next. "Okay. I can get you onto the layer and standing. Moving too as long as I concentrate...but that won't get us very far in a battle now will it Miyu?"
Rolling her eyes, Kylie nodded to herself before returning her full attention to Miyu. Turning the angel to face the middle of the layer, Kyle thought of some basic punch combos that she had seen people use in fights (maybe even used herself on occasion) and soon found that angel was going to respond as easily as she had thought she would. "Fine. We'll start off slower." She said out loud but to herself. Instead, she focused on the arms and getting them up and in front of her face like a boxer. Once there, Kylie squinted and focused more on the right arm. "One at a time..."
After practicing making Miyu do right jabs and hooks she realized how much concentration went into make a limb move with enough force to actually hit something. "Crap. Okay, well...this is why it's training I guess."

Putting it all together
A few more minutes had passed, maybe more since Kylie seemed to be losing track of time, but she had accomplished getting each of Miyu's limbs to move independently for attacks. Kicks, jabs...even running and then punching. As long as her mind stayed on the task at hand she could even string a few together. It wasn't anything amazing but it would do for now and Kylie was rather proud of her accomplishment. In one day she had gone from barely getting Miyu to stand, to moving her around the layer and at least attempting attacks.
After a few more brutal attacks on imaginary opponents Kylie huffed and tilted her head to one side. All of this was good but honestly, what good was this if she didn't know how a fight went? Glancing around, she jumped half way out of her seat when she saw the lady that had given her the layer number standing just behind her. "Holy crap!""Your getting there but if you think you can move that slow in a fight then your going to lose. Fast." Jade commented and walked over to get a better look at Miyu.
