I sat down at the large table with my uncle. Ashton sat beside me, supporting me. I had only met Ashton an hour ago, but it seemed as if we had know each other for years. Sam made a pot of tea and began to talk. "Your father is a wise man. Rotten to the core, but wise none the less. He works for the European government; spends every day inventing new technology that can destroy entire armies." he began. My mouth was hanging open. No wonder I had never met him! "Here, we as the Silver Raiders strive to put an end to the war by any means necessary. Our forces fight daily against Marcus, your father, and his technology." Sam took a long sip of his tea and sighed. Behind us, the doors swept open and someone charged in.
"Sir!" he yelled, "We're loosing! The Board is approaching with enough forces to destroy our entire home!" Panting, the man limped back outside, only to be shot down. Ashton grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards the door. "Let's go! We need to stop them!" he said. We ran towards one of the other rooms. Inside, he tossed me a large gun. Grabbing one himself, he began to put on an extra layer of shiny bronze and silver armour. I did the same. We marched out fully dressed in armour, guns loaded and at the ready. He led me to the stables where Russel was waiting eagerly. "Grab yourself something that can fly." he said, pointing towards numerous metallic creatures. I found one that looked like a snake and a tiger crossed with an eagle. We mounted up and soared out onto the battlefield.
