The sun was just beginning to rise over the developing Candy Kingdom, casting a golden hue over the castle and its surroundings. In the training yard, Banana Guard Captain, Colonel Candy Corn assembled the new recruits for their morning training. A group of eager, green-skinned recruits stood at attention, their forms stiff with anticipation. Among them was Female Banana Guard 1, her eyes darting between the approaching sunrise and the handsome recruit beside her.
Colonel Candy Corn, a tall and imposing figure with a stern expression, paced in front of them. "Listen up, ya nanners!" he barked. "Today, you start your training as Banana Guards. This ain't no cake walk, and I expect nothing but your best!"
Among the recruits stood Female Banana Guard 1, who looked like she had more interest shooting flirty eyes at the serious soldier next to her. The recruit, Banana Guard 13, gulped, his face turning a shade paler than usual. Female Banana Guard 1 nudged his shoulder. "Wanna go on a date after training today?" She asked. "Uhm!" Banana Guard 13 began to sweat and shake from both the question and the fact that Colonel Candy Corn's attention was directly on them!
Thankfully, it seems he decided to spare them instead of using them to make an example of. Their first training was making it through an haphazard obstacle course made to test their agility, toughness, and willpower. "Is that a yes, a no? It's okay if you don't want to. There's plenty of other hot guys here too." She lightly poked Banana Guard 13's chest with a mischievous smile. "I don't know yet! Bye now!" Banana Guard 13 was the first one running when Colonel Candy Corn blew the whistle for them to start going.
"So cute." Female Banana Guard 1 smiled. "Good luck!" She blew a kiss and waved at the nervous Banana Guard.
"Is there a reason you're not moving, recruit?" Colonel Candy Corn questioned as he suddenly appeared next to her.
"Sorry, Colonel!" With a playful salute, she turned and sprinted towards the obstacle course, her movements swift and confident. Despite her seemingly carefree attitude, her performance was remarkable. She tackled the walls with agility, navigated the mud pits with determination, and climbed the ropes with impressive strength.
Female Banana Guard 1 was in her element. The other recruits on the other hand… There were several Banana Guards who failed to climb the walls, got stuck in the mud pits and started rolling around instead, and couldn't get up the ropes period. Colonel Candy Corn shook his head in disappointment as he saw the sight. Female Banana Guard 1 was the only one to finish the haphazardly made candy obstacle course. "You got this guys! Don't give up!" She encouraged her fellow guards.
"Thank you!" Some replied wearily.
"Tch! Five more minutes." Colonel Candy Corn spat on the ground.
Obviously, none of the other Banana Guards made it up the rope in five minutes even with Female Banana Guard 1's encouragement. They were given a short break and told to prepare for the second part of training, sparring! To Colonel Candy Corn as Banana Guards they had to know how to fight and defend. Otherwise why else would they be Banana Guards?!
"Wow! You're really amazing Female Banana Guard 1." Banana Guard 3 complimented her.
"I don't know how you got up that wall and I was even looking at you!" Banana Guard 7 exclaimed.
"Can you teach us how you move like that?" Female Banana Guard 6 asked with stars in her eyes.
"Thank you!" Female Banana Guard 1 smiled as she took in their praise. "What I did was pretty simple for me but for you guys, you'll need a little-" Before she could share her advice, Colonel Candy Corn yelled her name.
"Female Banana Guard 1 and Banana Guard 15 get in the circle for sparring!" Colonel Candy Corn shouted, prompting both guards to get moving toward the ring.
"I wonder if they're going to kill each other."
"Nah, no way man. It's just training."
"I'm placing my bets on the girl. Look at those muscles…"
Female Banana Guards 1 flirtatiously winked at her opponent as the Colonel started the match. The male banana guard let out a frail battle cry as he charged forward with his eyes closed and arms outstretched. "How are you going to beat me with your eyes closed, silly?" Female Banana Guard 1 simply stepped to the side and tripped her opponent. He very easily surrendered to the forces of gravity and tumbled outside the ring, granting Female Banana Guard 1 the win.
"Banana Guard 9, get in there." Colonel Candy Corn ordered.
"Me?!" The young man exclaimed in shock.
"Did I stutter, recruit?!" Colonel Candy Corn yelled.
"No sir!" Banana Guard 9 cried as he rushed in the ring reluctantly.
"I'll go easy on you, sweetie." She reassured him.
"Thank you!" Banana Guard 9 graciously replied before getting thrown out the ring just as quickly as Banana Guard 15.
After the training day was over, everyone realized that FBG1 was a different breed of Banana Guard compared to the rest of them. She seemed to be stronger, faster, more skilled, and far more competent. However the reason for this was unknown. What about her made her different from the rest of them? Not even the other Female Banana Guards matched up with her.
FBG1 spent most of her time gossiping with the other Female Banana Guards in their room. Talking about which Banana Guards they thought were cute, how Colonel Candy Corn had a stick up his butt 24/7, and how exhausting training was. All in all, a relaxing evening for the recruits.

That evening, Princess Bubblegum held a meeting with Colonel Candy Corn in her royal chambers. The room was filled with the scent of sweets, and the walls were lined with books and scientific equipment.
"Captain, I've received reports of increased monster activity along our borders," Princess Bubblegum said, her expression serious. "We need extra patrols to ensure the safety of our growing kingdom."
Colonel Candy Corn frowned, reluctant to put himself in danger. "Your Highness, perhaps we could use the new recruits. It would be a good test to see if any of them are worth keeping."
Princess Bubblegum considered this, then nodded. "Very well. They deserve a chance to prove themselves. Ensure they are properly equipped for those stupid monsters mucking things up."
"Yes, Princess!" Colonel Candy Corn saluted, inwardly happy that he didn't have to put himself at risk. Those monsters were scary!

The next morning, the recruits were gathered once more, this time with a sense of unease. They were briefed on their first exercise- a patrol outside the kingdom's walls to fend off any monster threats. FBG1 could sense the nervousness among her fellow recruits, and to help put them at ease, she took the lead.
Seeing FBG1 stroll off with her back straight brought a measure of confidence to the group, and they set off with a renewed sense of purpose. The patrol led them to the current outskirts of their growing kingdom, where the landscape grew wild and untamed. As they moved through the dense forest, the tension was palpable. Suddenly, a horde of monsters emerged from the shadows, their eyes glowing with hunger.
As the first wave of monsters charged, FBG1 immediately sprang into action. She swung her poleaxe in a wide arc, her blade singing through the air and cleaving through the thick hide of a charging beast. The creature let out a guttural cry as its upper and lower body split, its momentum carrying it forward even in death.
Around her, the recruits engaged in combat, their training kicking in despite their fear. Banana Guard 13, inspired by FBG1's bravery, faced a snarling, two-headed creature. He ducked under its first head's snapping jaws and drove his axe into its underbelly. The beast wailed in pain, its second head swinging wildly, catching him with its teeth. Banana Guard 13's head was torn off and tossed away as the beast continued flailing from his axe.
Female Banana Guard 6 attempted to use her agility to her advantage. She tried rolling between the legs of a lumbering monster, slicing at its tendons and slowing it down enough for her fellow guards to finish it off with a coordinated attack. However she didn't manage to make it through the beast's legs and was crushed within its grip.
Screams filled the air as some of the recruits were horribly slain, eaten, and bruised. Female Banana Guard 1 was no longer smiling after witnessing and hearing this. She picked up an ax from a fallen Banana Guard and tossed it toward a monster about to eat Banana Guard 9 whole. The spinning axe chopped off the hairy monster's arm, freeing BG9. FBG1 soon appeared in front of BG9, leaping off the ground and chopping down with her axe. It was split from the top of its skull as FBG1 quickly moved to help out the others struggling.
"For the Candy Kingdom!" Female Banana Guard 1 shouted, bisecting a monster at the waist.
Behind her, a particularly large beast that had emerged from the thicket. This creature was more formidable than the others, its scales thicker and its claws sharper. FBG1 met it head-on, dodging its swipes with skillful parries of her axe. Sparks flew from the claws meeting the edge of her ax. However, she was not overpowered by the reptilian monster. They clashed and clashed and clashed until FBG1 was given an opening. Banana Guard 9 swung his ax into the monster's back, causing it to cry out in pain before turning to slash at him. He screamed as he let go of his weapon and ran away. FBG1 didn't miss this opportunity to put down this ferocious beast. With a single leap forward, her ax came slicing through the air before she appeared behind the monster. The next moment, a wet splat came from behind her as she looked around the area for anyone else in trouble.
She moved through the battlefield, slaying monsters effortlessly and helping her fellow recruits. Her axemanship was unparalleled, her brutal kills executed with only the most helpful of intentions. By the end of the battle, corpses littered the ground. A few Banana Guards managed to kill or injure the monsters, but the death toll was heavy on both sides. Tears flowed freely from the Banana Guards as they loudly mourned their fallen comrades, the brutality of a real battle leaving them distraught.
Female Banana Guard 1's face was solemn. "Gather the bodies. Our fellow brothers and sisters served the Candy Kingdom well and they will be treated as such even in death." She ordered. "Yes ma'am!" The few Banana Guards remaining tearfully shouted. FBG1's eyes then glanced over at two figures in the far far distance.

As the battle ended, Princess Bubblegum and Colonel Candy Corn put away their binoculars, having watched the recruits closely. Bubblegum's eyes were fixed on FBG1, her expression one of awe and curiosity.
"Colonel Candy Corn," she said, her voice filled with determination. "Promote that one. I want to understand why she is so different from the others."
Colonel Candy Corn nodded, though he still harbored doubts. "As you wish, Princess."
FBG1 was promoted on the spot, her achievements recognized by all. For her reward, she found herself in the heart of Princess Bubblegum's laboratory, a world of glass and chrome, filled with strange contraptions and bubbling liquids. She didn't know how to feel exactly. However, she knew that she wasn't happy. The deaths of the other Banana Guards were still on her mind. But disobeying the Princess's request? FBG1 didn't know if she had it in her. She wanted to go home and rest and be with the other Banana Guards but she could do a few tests for the Princess… How long could it possibly take?
The first test involved her physical capabilities. FBG was put through a rigorous regimen to measure her strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance. The results were astonishing, far surpassing the limits of any known creature in the Candy Kingdom. Next, her mental acuity was tested. FBG faced complex puzzles, problem-solving challenges, and memory tests. Her intelligence proved to be equally exceptional, suggesting a mind that operated on a higher level.
As the tests progressed, Princess Bubblegum became increasingly fascinated, her eyes filled with a mix of wonder and scientific curiosity. She noticed peculiar patterns in FBG's biological makeup, hinting at an unknown origin.
FBG, meanwhile, began to feel like a lab rat. The constant tests and isolation took a toll on her. She was starting to regret showing the Princess what she was really capable of. Now she was stuck here all night. It seemed the Princess could always find something new about her insides or outsides that utterly astounds her and would require far more testing.
