another opening. I dashed toward it and punched it in the face hard before it could get back up. That blow knocked it flat on its back in the snow and it did not get back up.
    Smiling at my quick victory, I looked over to see Blizzard was still fighting her robot. She seemed to be having trouble against it, though, because instead of fighting it head on like me, she was gliding across the snow and dodging its attacks. I realized that she was probably still too afraid to use her powers, so I shouted, “Don't be afraid, Blizz! Just freeze him!”
    Blizzard jumped backwards out of the robot's reach and shouted back at me, “Are you sure? Because I can't guarantee I'll control it!”
    “Just do it!” I shouted. “You'll be fine.”
    Blizzard looked doubtful, but she turned her attention to the robot and raised her hands. Her hands glowed white once more and ice started crawling up the robot's legs. I looked around, but did not see the snow flying or hear the wind blowing.
    “All right,” I said, giving her the thumbs up. “Good job. Looks like you're doing great!”
    Unfortunately, I spoke too soon, because the robot, despite the ice crawling up its body, was still moving. It swung its fists at Blizzard, striking her in the abdomen and knocking her off her feet. She landed on her back and her hands stopped glowing. She looked stunned, but I didn't think she was that badly hurt.
    In any case, the training robots were designed to go easy whenever one of us was knocked down. Since they were just supposed to be training robots and not actual enemies, they were not supposed to kill us.
    That was why I was surprised when I saw the robot raising its fists to bring them down on the obviously unconscious Blizzard. It looked like it was about to kill her, so I flew over to stop it before it could squish her.
    Just as the robot brought its fists down on Blizzard, I zoomed over and caught them before they could crush her. The fists came down hard, but in comparison to Enor, I had little trouble holding them back.
    “Hey!” I said, gritting my teeth as I pushed back against the robot. “Blizzard is unconscious. Stand down.”
    The training robots were programmed to obey our voices, especially when we told them to stop fighting, but this one didn't. It just kept increasing its pressure on me, trying to smash me with Blizzard. I didn't understand why it wasn't giving up, but I didn't need to. All I needed to do was take it down.
    So I flew up, forcing its arms up until I took the robot off the floor. The robot's limbs flailed about as I carried it upwards before I hurled it onto the snow below.
    The robot crashed into the snow with a loud crash, but just as it did that, the second robot—the one I thought I'd defeated earlier—flew at me with its fists swinging again. Because it came so fast, I was unable to dodge it. It fists smashed into me like a pile driver, sending me hurtling head over heels through the air until I crashed into the wall.
    The impact dazed me, but I recovered just in time to see the second robot flying down toward the still-unconscious Blizzard. It looked like it was about to crash into her, so I jumped out of the dent in the wall and zoomed toward Blizzard as fast as I could, although it was hard to move quickly through the snow without slipping and tripping.
    I reached Blizzard well before the robot did, scooping her up in my arms as I ran. I got her out of the robot's way just in the nick of time. It crashed into the snow upon which she had been lying and sent snow and ice flying into the air.
    Skidding to a stop in the snow, I looked down at Blizzard. She was still breathing and appeared unharmed, but I knew I had to get her to the medical room anyway. It was the only way to make sure that she was okay.
    But before I could leave, I heard the creaking and cracking of mechanical joints and looked over to see the two training robots getting back up. The second one's head was smashed in, while the other one's
