Training
All the tech class students were reported to the danger room. "I am Droid MT 2 I will instruct you on what you are to do. Now enter." I did as he said I along with the others entering the test room. There was complete darkness I couldn't make out anything but I did hear the panting of the anxious students near me. " Sit down now." I sat not sensing the seat behind me. "This is a virtual simulation, designed to enhance your concentration to better hone your abilities… You may stop the process at any time, but you will be penalized for failure… that is all…begin.”
The module began to activate…I felt this strange sensation, but I couldn’t quite place it. I couldn’t see anything neither there was only emptiness…I felt as if I was falling, sinking, and compressed all at the same time. Finally, I regain my ability to see, but with no avail. I had no idea where I was. I was standing in what appears to be nowhere. The land was as barren as Antioch or so it seemed. I was looking around a bit to get my barring when suddenly, I felt this intense pain in my back. It felt as if something was pushing it’s way through me. I was knocked off my feet and hurled through the air. I hit the ground hard, but didn’t suffer any injury.
I was surprised to see that it was a fusian, they are sprites with incredible powers. They inhabit the outer most regions off Antioch. I assume this was my mission, to defeat this inferior creature, or so I thought. We must of fought for what seemed like forever and with ever bone crushing blow the sprite brought me closer to defeat. As time continued I started to loose concentration. It laugh hysterically as it pummeled me. I struggled to ward off its blows, but it just kept coming. Again I was hurled to the ground gasping for air I laid there. My entire body ache with pain. I had not desire left to continue fighting, but it was not done with me. I assume it wanted me dead. I closed my eyes in anticipation for my impending doom. I figure death was better than this….”The Test Exam is now over.” Before I knew it I was once again seated in the module.
Hard to grasp huh...well, this is a test project, one of the many performed to join the ranks of the elite infantry group... CLAD...Not everyone makes it. "Proceed to the exit"... This place is called Bal-Amandra; it is my home, welcome." You have one hour brake then you will suit up and prepare for the next mission ...Any questions?...Good your dismissed."
The door off to my right open all of the survivors were to proceed to the exit the droids outside were waiting to enter and prepare for the next set of students. "Well well ,you made it squirt ,we thought you were a goner for sure " turning to look at his friends "ain't that right boys ". That's Cid the two behind him are Tork and Bruno...Cid and I get into a lot of confrontations even though I try to avoid him. Last month we were in the infirmary for a week. That's how bad things get with us. "We'll be seeing you around squirt" "yeah, we'll be seeing yah" They laughed amongst themselves as they continued on there way. I paid them no mind for they were least of my concerns "Kane I did it. "
To my surprise it was Lance he passed the test. Lance is my roommate I knew him for several years now. Lance is a bookworm, but when it comes to battles he is quite top notch. You can say he was my friend even though I never called him that or made any mention of it. " Kane you did pretty good yourself it was like you weren't even phased. You must have been practicing." Trying not to let it get to my head I told him it was no big deal. I couldn't let him know I was struggling practically losing against that sprite. He looks up to me if I'm weak he's weak. "Well I'm heading to the shower catch you lata" I stood and watch as he ran off. I guess he must be exited about the next mission. This is the Main floor of Bal-Amandra it’s always busy here students, droids, and instructors always fill its halls.
I continued to move through crowd acknowledging students I'm familiar with. "Cadet seven one one...Kane Nova-Carrie may I have a word with you " I turn around, it was my instructor Ms. Alonda Centure. We students are only allowed to call her Instructor Centure, but for me she makes an exception. I could tell she is fond of me and if I weren't her student she would persist in her infatuation. She was two years older than I and I must say she is quite an attractive woman.
