Shooting range

***

About three minutes later, at the shooting range training facility, the targets are moving and gunshots can be heard. Three targets that display the men's cardboards holding guns are not hit, only the ones displaying creatures such as werewolves, goblins, smurfs, unicorns and such things that are considered individuals with nationality from cardboard. The person shooting at that range was a human who had black skin, a pair of grey jeans and a yellow t-shirt with the logo of a bomb.

The elevator comes down, but that person continues to shoot. He did not hear it though, because he wore headphones as he continued to shoot the targets with a semi-automatic gun that shoots normal bullets.

"Hey, Louis!" says Kyle to the black man.

"What's up, Kyle?" asks Louis, taking his headphones off for a moment, and he looks at Kyle and Carmen who came over here. "You two are here for practice?"

"Yes," says Kyle, going over to a bookshelf that shows a variety of guns on the type of pistol.

This room has about twenty or more shelves that store different types of weapons, from pistols that humans in America are in love with and to the ones where they can be found in the Pentagon and to others which can be found in other worlds. Kyle goes to one of the bookshelves, he takes from there a normal Revolver, and he hands it to Carmen. She looks confused at Kyle, and, worried, she asks him.

"I can't."

"Why?" asks Kyle. "Are you afraid of a gun?"

"These things kill people." says Carmen in her defence.

"Honey," says Louis, reloading his semi-automatic gun that looks like one of those guns from Counter Strike: Global Offensive by inserting a new clip filled with bullets. "People kill people. A gun is a tool for this job."

The invisible man, wearing a humanoid skin of the colour of black, continues to shoot the moving targets who are moving faster than the ones in local gun shops in America. The invisible man shoots almost every moving target, and he doesn't make a single mistake with his gun. After he emptied the second clip of his gun, he takes the gun, and decides to walk with it to the bookshelves where the guns are stored. He puts the gun on the bookshelf, noted with "Semi-automatic Guns", and he looks at the two teenagers.

"Did the Navy speak with the prisoner?"

"Yes," replies Kyle. "We identified him as a Plutonian."

"Plutonian?" asks Louis, not curious at all. "These things sure do come a lot nowadays. Probably because of the civil war?"

"That's one of the things," says Kyle, and he looks at Carman, who seems a bit confused. "They do also come to refugees to seek refugees when a civil war breaks out, which is a common event for their kind rather for the human species."

"I-I understand." says Carmen.

"Now," says Kyle, and he turns around to the bookshelves that are noted "Arrows and Bows Section" and he takes a crossbow from there. "Let's start training your precision."

Kyle goes over to number fourth place, he puts an arrow into a normal crossbow, and he aims at a target that moves slowly. That target which is moving is a human drawn with a skeleton's head on fire. Kyle immediately shoots the arrow, and as he shoots it, the arrow penetrates the cardboard, and hits the target behind that cardboard. The target behind it displays the posture of a lizard-human that was about to become invisible. The arrow stopped right at the head of where the drawn head of the lizard was.

Carmen saw the hit, but she did not expect the cardboard to be invisible and also move. The girl looks amazed at the target, and she says to Kyle.

"Amazing."

"Now you," he says, turning around to face her. "Show me your gun skill on an unmoving target. Hit the cardboard that has a zombie drawn."

"B-But how can I shoot?" asks Carmen, who can barely hold the revolver she was given.

Kyle approaches her closely, he holds her hands, and he shows her how to aim the revolver as a beginner. Carmen could feel the cold touch of this teenager, and she could feel his breath closer as he was showing the indications to carmen about how to shoot. Kyle moves the arms of Carmen forward, and he tells her to close one eye. Carmen closes her left eye, and he tells her to aim at an unmoving cardboard. At anyone. The girl aims at the one depicted as a robber, and Kyle tells her to pull the trigger.

The girl pulls the trigger and she can see a bullet flying from the revolver, and hitting the cardboard stomach. Her aim was not that good. But the girl thought this was over, then she saw the bullet. He then ricochets and hits the zone of the neck of the target and stops the moment it crashes into the window. Luckily, the window had protected Carmen's head from that attack she launched on her own.

Carmen stood there, shocked to see she had almost died if it wasn't for the window that was protecting her. As you can see, the shooting range doesn't have a window, but Carmen can see a window, and that was not a window, it was just glass armour that stops the special bullets from flying away from the shooting range. The girl just has a normal looking revolver from the first dimension with a special bullet made for this team, which is doing their duty to keep peace in this first dimension.

"What was that?" asks Carmen, scared of Kyle.

"That was a ricochet bullet." says Kyle, a bit surprised. "This wasn't supposed to happen."

"B-But what is this glass?"

"That is not glass. It is more like shooting range protection. This is made for these types of incidents." he takes the revolver from Carmen's hands, and he looks at the storage compartment. "Strange. These bullets were supposed to be in the "Special ammo" section. But, what are they doing with this revolver?"

"Was it Louis?"

"It is a suspect." says Kyle, checking the compartment for storing ammo by taking the bullets out and replacing them with normal ones from a small shelf where normal bullets are stored. "Anyway, at least be grateful we have this type of protection. Otherwise, you would've been the first person to die in this incident."

Carmen did not say a thing. She was almost pissing her pants when she thought that bullet could've ended her life this soon. Even her inner Vewolf, was sweating inside of Carmen's body (metaphorically). She gets the revolver back, and she looks at Kyle.

"You sure there are good bullets?"

"Normal bullets from our dimension." said Kyle. "Anyway, can you do it by yourself?"

"… I'll try." says Carmen, shaking her hand on the revolver trigger, and before she knows it, she shoots the belly of a moving target that depicted a drawn werewolf.

"Nice shot." says Kyle, amazed by this shot. "Can you do it again until you empty the storage of the gun?"

Carmen continues to shoot five shots, in which only two of them hit the moving target, but the arms and the legs, while the other three hit the walls of the shooting range.

"Good progress," says Kyle. "You are still on the start, but you have the potential to shoot a moving target when the claws will not appear."

"Claws?" asks Carmen curios.

"Claws. You know, you have the ability to shoot nails from the hand, but this super ability of yours can be used only once per transformation and is only in good health."

"Aha. What else do you know about these?"

"Let's see… Aha. Your claws can regenerate faster if you eat meat."

"Meat? Ain't that for werewolves?"

"My mistake. I do not know the process of your kind to regenerate nails, but it is probably far more dangerous."

Carmen looks at her nails, then she has an image of her nails getting longer and longer, ugly and depicted as the ones from the mass media. The girl looks horrified at her nails, even though this was a fabrication of her wild imagination and not real life.
