"The whole reason you all are being taught earth skills in the first place. Because all of you are going to the ground!" Damon said and everyone exploded.
"But the ground isn't survivable for another hundred years!" A woman's clear voice sounded out over the rest.
"Wrong! The ground is survivable." Damon said while walking closer to the group of kids.
"I guess the others didn't tell you. I can see the future!" Damon said causing everyone to look at each other before bursting out laughing again.
"Did you guys know that the Ark is dying? That within six months you will be sent to the ground only to find out it's survivable. But yet still all of you here will die anyway."
"It's funny really. How all of you will die." Damon said causing everyone to stop laughing.
"Why aren't you laughing? I thought it was funny?" Damon asked mockingly.
"There is no way the Ark is dying!" A voice sounded out making the others nod.
"Oh, but it is! Isn't that right Clarke?" Damon walked over to a young blonde woman who was very pretty.
"Clarke's father was floated because he tried to warn the rest of the ark. Isn't that right Clarke?" Damon looked at the pretty blonde who looked at him curiously before nodding.
"Yeah." She said with some sadness and anger in her voice while looking over at Wells who was standing next to her.
"Oh, you still think it was Wells who told on your father," Damon said to Clarke who glanced at him confused.
"No no. It was your mother who ratted out your father."
Clarke's eyes widened before a few tears ran down her cheeks.
"Why would you do that asshole," Wells said while holding onto Clarke and glaring at him.
"Doesn't she deserve the truth?" Damon asked before walking back toward the middle of the room.
"Don't you all deserve the truth?! They were sending you all because you're a waste of oxygen!" Damon yelled and the others frowned, and anger could be seen in their eyes.
"But I can see the future and I know that all of you are the future leaders of the ark! I know how strong you all can become! I know what you all fight for! Your every dream and desire I know it all! There is not a single thing you can say or do that will surprise me!
I know that every one of you will die! Unless you follow me. Unless you let me teach you how to survive the chaos that is the ground." Damon looked out and saw that everyone was looking at him now.
Good, he had their attention.
"This isn't Pike's training. If you disobey me, I will beat you until your pissing blood and Jaha will thank me for it." Damon said making the others shudder.
"Murphy step back in line," Damon said, and Murphy nodded.
"The truth is that there are other people already on the ground. Grounders, and at any sign of weakness they will smell that shit a mile away." Damon said.
"I'm not here to teach you how to start a fire and scrub your ass clean." The 100 burst into laughter before he raised his hand, and they quieted down.
"I'm here to teach you how to survive wars. Every day on the ground will be a fight, and every day you will have a war with yourself about the things you will have to do! You will question yourselves and people will question you on the choices you made.
You will kill more people than you can imagine, and you will have to live with that. If even for one second you stop fighting on the ground, you're dead.
Fear is something that will get you killed. Hesitation is your enemy." Damon said while watching the faces of the 100 change as they realized he wasn't joking.
"We will spend 4 hours in a simulation each day which equals 4 days in VR training your knowledge on combat.
We will then spend 2 hours of physical training each day. Then 4 hours of combat training out of VR and then 2 hours of knowledge learning."
"First let me have Clarke, Bellamy, and Octavia come over here please," Damon called over three names and they all walked over to him.
"Bel?" Octavia called out confused and happy at seeing her brother for the first time in forever.
"O" Bellamy called out and they hugged making a few of the people in line begin to whisper.
"Bel, what are you doing here?" Octavia asked with a smile
"I don't know though I'm glad I am," Bellamy said while looking at his sister's smile.
"You're here because I wanted you here," Damon said causing Bellamy to look at him.
"Why?" Bellamy asked confused.
"Because I know you will do anything to go down to the ground with your sister," Damon said, and Bellamy nodded while looking at him.
"You three will be my leading captains. That means you three are in charge under me and the others are your responsibility. Any of their fuck ups is your fuck ups."
"Uhm. I understand the princess and my brother but why me?" Octavia asked nervously. She hadn't interacted with people in a long time or hardly ever.
"You two go stand over there while I talk to Octavia for a second."
Clarke and Bellamy gave Damon some room and walked a little further away so he could speak with Octavia.
"Octavia, I know you better than you know yourself. You're a warrior and what I'm trying to create here are warriors. You have a demon inside of you Octavia. If you can learn to control it then you will become stronger than you can imagine, but if you let it control you then you will feel only despair."
Damon said while holding Octavia's shoulder and looking into her innocent eyes that twinkled with life and mischief.
"Everyone follow me!"
Damon led everyone into a different room full of hundreds of VR capsules and made everyone lie in one before he entered as well.
