After the party last night,Rezo wakes up in the morning feeling all good and ready for the day. He stood by his room's window to admire the beautiful blue sky rather to see a dark sky with the blue moon luminating the place."I think I can get used to here" saying so before leaving the window side to begin some small routine exercise. Kai also wakes up siting on his bed with his face in the hands. Rubbing his face for sometime, he began stretching his arms before a voice was heard through the speakers. It was a call for all new recruits to assemble infront of the barracks in thirty minutes time with their rigs.
Thirty minutes passed and all the new recruits were in front of the barracks. Rezo had his goggles on his forehead with his other rigs inside his side bag, Kai also wore a gauntlet type rig which wasn't that big but noticable. While they were all in front of the barracks, they noticed vehicles leaving the building. Rezo noticed Jeanne in one of those vehicles. As those vehicles left, a bus suddenly parked by their side and a man got down from it. He walked by with his not too much bulky frame and stood infront of everyone. He had a scar across the bridge of his nose with a messy hairstyle. "Hello newbies, today is the day you learn about the real world and man up". With a serious face, "I'm Roy,the instructor of the new recruits. Today,we are going on a little field to understand how things are done here in ground D". "Let's go ", everyone frightened by his presence hurrily entered the bus and they leave the base.
They reach their destination,a large space with few trees standing there. Everyone got out of the bus and Roy stood infront of them. "Since you all are new here, you haven't been assigned to your various squads so today, I am here to prepare you for your future missions". "As you can already tell,the gravity we are experiencing here is weaker which makes any instantaneous force here,stronger than when you were on earth". "Depending on your own body,each and everyone's physical capabilities have been increased". "The same way we've become stronger here, the aliens too experience the same if not greater abilities. This is their home afterall". Raising his left hand showing them his watch, "I believe you all have this,it's called a locx.This is a device that can help track your positions, for communication and measuring your synchronisation with your rigs". " It's a small but handy device, you can take it out and active your rigs to confirm what i said". A lot of people took out their rigs for confirmation and the locx did not disappoint. Kai activated his gear to see if the locx was true and his saw his synchronisation numbers on the watch. Rezo managed to get a peak at Kai's and saw him to have a sync of 12% with his gauntlets.
" Okay brats,let's attend the matter at hand for today, our ability to easily kill aliens". Everyone began looking at each other. "During the test, I heard you all defeated the pet, that's amazing but what u defeated is the lowest rank of the aliens". "There are 3 ranks of the aliens fighting us; first is the pet,known for its small frame and third eye until it mutates. The second is the wranderers,monster's with no eyes but powerful hearing and smelling senses and the matriarchs, humanoid aliens with unbelievable power and deadly weapons". " Against a pet, you all can win without any major injury, against a wranderers,you might be able to win but it will be at the cost of majority of your lives at your current level and finally,the matriarchs,even if you band together and fight against one,you will the squished like a bug without doing anything". Everyone was surprised by his words.
"Okay people, our goal here is simple. Form a group of two and defeat a pet." pointing in a direction where there is no pet at sight but only trees. "Look closely,do you think those small trees are normal". Immediately,Rezo wore his goggles and looked at the trees once again. To his surprise,he sees each of them with cores inside them. Roy chuckles a little," form a group and begin your training".
Rezo and Kai form a team and begin the training. People began forming teams and started attacking the pets. Rezo explained to Kai how his rig works and the both decided that Rezo be the diversion and Kai be the attacker. They both began assault, Rezo in the lead and Kai following from behind. As the pet notices Rezo approach it,it sprouts its roots and branches to attack Rezo. He then took out his pen and shocked himself internally causing him to assume his temporary hysterical form. With his goggles,increased stats and gravity on his side, he easily evaded everything thrown at him and made his way to the stem of the tree monster. He unleashes a far more powerful shock and gains the full attention of the pet. As the pet turned to attack Rezo,Kai approaches it from behind, "it's at your left from the center ", Rezo tells him before Kai leaps into the air. Because of the weak gravitational pull, Kai makes a huge jump and with one gauntlet,create a huge ice lance and impales the pet at its core killing it. Rezo and Kai apply this diversion and attack tactic and easily kill four more pets. The training comes to an end. Both Rezo and Kai are excited and cheer for themselves for easier taking out the pets even though they are exhausted. Everyone gathers together and Roy is impressed about everyone's performance.
" You all just experienced a new power,the power of flow" Roy said smiling, " you began connecting with your rigs making their usage easier. It may not be strong now and with more training,you will be able to master it. Let's leave for today". When everyone heard these words,they all got excited and hyped of the next training section. As they walked towards the bus,they began feeling a rumbling under their feet. Someone from the back screamed that a giant monster was approaching. Roy immediately went to see what was coming to see a 5 metre tall huge wranderer rushing towards them. He told everyone to run to the bus. Panicing ,the little stamped occurred and everyone was running towards the bus. All of a sudden,they hear a loud gun shot and the rumbling stopped. They turned to see what had happened and to their surprise,a huge 3 diameter wide hole had appeared in the wranderer's body. They could see a vehicle from behind the monster through its gaping hole. The vehicle reached them and stopped, someone got out of the vehicle. It was none other than Jeanne.
"Roy, what's up"waving at him when she approached him. "Been busy lately, what's up with this wranderer" beginning a normal conversation with Jeanne. "Sorry if I caused any trouble. We went on patrol and saw a group of wranderers running,we decided to take them out but one managed to escape so I followed it and killed it here, sorry again" she said rubbing her hair with her right hand with a sincere smile and a face of apology on. She asked if anyone was hurt. Thankfully no one was so she decided to leave and continue her patrol. When she left, everyone was speechless after seeing what she can do. Rezo being close to them during their conversation was shocked the most after seeing the numbers on her locx. It read she had a sync of 90.4% with her rig. All Roy could say to everyone was "that is the power of one of the strongest in the world". They all agree to his statement, returned to the bus and back to their base.
