(Axel dreaming)
Grant and Seymour were in a conference room full of other agents addressing the situation.
"Is it true what they say?" Veronica asked. "Was it really them?"
"We have obtained testimonies from 4 of the 5 cadets involved with the attack... all of their descriptions were the same... a man in a dark hood with multiple hands...Besides you all felt that ether"
"Why is that other Cadet still out? I thought he sustained the least amounts of injury from the attack?"
"That may be the case, but it seems the meeting was in some part traumatizing for him... his body is healing at a much slower rate."
"Then let's stop beating around the bush" Obrian said. "Let's contact Hq immediatelt, Atlantica is not equiped to handle this."
"Already did" Grant said. "They are sending an agent here as we speak, once we get a descriptoin from the last Cadet, they will launch a full investigation.
(Lars wakes up)
Waking up in a hopital bed, Lars faintly saw the outlines of a green haired shifter sitting by his bedside.
"Axel..." Seymouur said.
"Seymour..." Lars croaked.
"I hate to ask you this in your current state, but can you give me a description of the man who attacked?"
"He had a hood... and multiple hands... he was so strong he broke the pandora's barrier and took us all out in on emove.."
"I see" Seymour said. "Get some rest then"
(Lars dreaming)
"It's confirmed then?" The panel of Shifters asked Grant.
"Yes unfortunately... We have no choice, contact S.P.A Greenhawk!"
Somwhere in a place far away, a man with Red her and broad shoulders walked into a room.
"Sir... Jagr..." The man said taking a seat in front of a desk "To what do I owe this meeting?"
"I am giving you a top secret mission to investigate the movements of that organization." Jagr answered.
"I see... where am I off to now?"
"A small island called Atlantica, it is not part of the main continent and is a recently upcoming branch"
"Atlantica... I don't think I've ever heard of it... tell me, what role will I be plaiyng there?"
"You will be under the guise of a student taking the upcoming S.P.A exams, you are to track down a boy named Lance Nozuka, and investigate his ties to a rougue assasin named Raven."
As Jagr handed the picture of Raven and Lance, Jade's eyes popped open.
"SIR!" He exclaimed. A frigid tear appeared in his eye as he looked over the photos. "WHy have you chosen me for this mission! I barely know you! How can you trust me with a mission of this Caliber!"
"Because..." Jagr sighed. "Your the only one at this office... That won't immediately be recognized by Lance..."
"Then... I'm going as his retainer!" Jade gasped.
"No," Jagr sighed. "You are going there as S.P.A Atlanticas retainer, the success of the entire missoin rests on your shoulders."
Lars woke up from his bed looking around the room. From the corner of his eye he saw a flush of white hair.
"Awe man..." Lars said grabbing his head. "Whata bunch of weird dreams."
"Everyone!" 6 chimed. "Axel woke back up!"
As his freinds flooded the room, the showered him with hugs and praise.
"Yo we thought you were dead yo!" Reggie said.
"Yeh Baby Blue! You've got some kind of mysterious past! How come you didn't tell us!"
Lars looked down at his hands and let out a sigh.
"I'm... sorry I didn't really know myself... I'm sorry I put you all in dan-
"Yo that was cool as Shit though!" Reggie said.
"Yeh! dark mysterious guy with multiple hands! Pprophecies and what about that Jonah guy! Was he faking the entier time!?" B said.
"I have to admit" Lance said. "I was suspicoius of you at first but it seems like, there is just so much more to you than meets the eye... There's some kind of past chasing you... I can relate" Lance said looking away.
As Lance closed his eyes the image of a raven appeared in his mind.
"You guys aren't mad... You actually like what happend?"
"Hell yeh! yo! We got a bunch of experience in the badlands witnessed a whole ass war and! We are now all graduated from the academy!" Reggie said smiling.
"WHHHHHHATTTTT!" Lars interjected
"That's right yo! Were all agents now! We haven't been given the title of Officer or assigned to a department yet, for that we need to take the S.P.A exams." Lance said.
"What! How does that work!" Lars asked.
"Well it's held twice a year! Usually they recommend two years learning before you enter, but as long as you have a recommendation from a department head you can enter!"
"Really! And who is our department head!"
"EHHHHHHHEM!" A voice boomed from behind them.
"Sir.. uhh Grant didn't se you there man" Reggie said scratching his head.
"Can I have the room? I need to discuss something with Axel"
Leaving the room Lars's friends exited leaving the two of them alone.
"IS it true?" Lars asked. "I'm no longer at the academy!"
"Tsk! Don't get so upity you only had three weeks left there anyway" Grant grunted.
"So what about this S.P.A exam! How can I enter!" Lars asked.
"You don't" Grant said lighting a cigar.
There was an akward silence that passed over them.
"Wait WHAT!" Lars said.
"O'brian and Seymour have reccomended you but head of your department I am saying no! You are way to wild to be out there! Just a weeek ago you could barely control your powers!" Grant exclaimed.
"Oh well... it can't be helped, me and th eothers will just train for two years then!" Lars said
"THe others... will be going to the exam." Grant said.
"WHHHHHATTT!" Reggie said blasting down the door.
"Hey that's messed up!" B said barging in
"Yeh! By the way there's no smoking in this building!" 6 grunted
"That's too bad" Lance said. "I wanted to see how strong you got myself"
"Why!" Lars said. "WHy did everyone else get the pass?"
"Because I've seen everyone else!" Grant said.
"Reggie is incredibly crafty with his robotic arm! B is stronger than any boy in your class! Lance is nearly a captain level of strength and 6..." He said looking at 6. "Is Obrian's boy I've never seen him fight but Obrian has gone to HQ for him that's over my head!"
LArs looked down at his hands and formed them into fists.
"I don't know how you fought in Lagara or how the hell you even made it their! You could have easily got lucky or got help from your friends! I can't enter you into this exam without seeing your strength first hand which is why...." Grant said.
"Tommorow you and I will have a pre-examination! A one on one match! If you win then I will let you enter the exam!"
"WHAT! HOw is that fair!" Reggie croaked.
"Yeh! How the hell is a loser like him supposed to beat a colonel?" Lance asked.
"Thanks alot Lance!" Lars yelled.
"He doesn't have to beat me..." Grant said. "Just touch me, if you can land a single blow on my body then I will let you become an agent!"
"Easy enough!" Lars said jmpin gout of his hospital bed.
He llunged into the air throwing a punch at Grant
BLINK
Grant appeared behind him and smashed his face back into his bed.
"We haven't started yet!" Grant said laughing. "Hopefully your not that slow during the exam!"
"Damnit!" LArs said gritting his teeth. "This exam isn't going to be easy!"
"Meet in Nautica Valley at 0600!" Grant yelled
