Chapter 1 Welcome.

I was going from Jacinto, I had the bad luck to get out of a recent mission, which was a suicide, that I was recruited for another much worse. Yeah, the the story of life

It was daylight, was on a raven, so the whole trip not keep me asleep. So I get stressed, I had no better to do. My weapons are ready and my ammunition.

My companions were not very talkative winged, indeed, they felt discomfort because of my age. I could not blame them, I have only 16.

But the wait was over in a few kilometers. We come to a city of patent leather. What we understood that this city is rich Imulsion. One type of precious fuel and, as a curious fact, there was a war for control of the ilmusión. Our goal is to ensure the city, but there is an important detail. The Locust were there from the day E, so we have to capture at all costs.

In a blink of an eye. And we arrived the city, look at the soldier

"Is this the city?" I Ask while watching the siege of the city, the height to which we were was impressive.

"Yes, if this" The soldier winged confirm it.

Take my rifle to look more detailed the city. Everything was a mess, Locust everywhere, streets and buildings are destroyed and explosions every second. the same of Halvo Bay is repeated.

"Are you nervous, boy?" He said the other soldier winged mockingly.

I was not offended that comment, it's more, I'm happy about that. That's all nice to have said throughout the journey.

"Me? On the contrary, I'm dying tired, and I'm ready." I said excitedly.

My companions were very pleased to hear that.

"That's the attitude" responded the same that made me the question

"We approached to the base" interrupted the pilot.

Wow, that was fast. I was fast and I peeked back to see the base.

If I could see. It looked that the base was well fortified by soldiers, turrets and mines, in a very old place. Most likely the wars of the pendulum.

When we landed. We all left in a hurry, a soldier told us to go, it was to know about the situation.

They could see that many soldiers were more than worried. This just keeps getting more interesting.

We had managed to reach a meeting type, it publishes to be exact. Everyone was waiting for someone, the leader.

He was right. He saw the colonel came in a hurry, you could see that his armor is of very high rank, you could tell he was bald, i saw he had a patch over his eye, had a feeling that was so many battles had and it showed that he had as around 50 years.

"Attention!" Colonel cry and all got attention. We were silent and attentive. "You know why you're here?"

"For the military transport" I said jokingly and all gave me watching.

I knew what they thought, Oh, that brat, but I did not care what They thought, I was already used to this kind of thinking.

"Very funny," said Colonel sarcastic.

"Thanks," I replied.

Colonel breath and continued calmly.

"As I said the reason why we are all here, it's for this reason. According to our data, in this city there are a lot of ilmusón, which can be done to make the dough slightly missile"

"Sir? Here are a lot of ilmusión" interrupted by a soldier on guard Ónix. I knew by his armor and she is a woman.

"Explain well, Lieutenant Hendricks" asked the colonel.

"We know that this place is rich ilmusión, but too much. My point is that we can do more than one," Hendricks said.

"Exactly, Lieutenant"

Before i can move on. A soldier stepped forward, the soldier had no uniform COG ... any armor. But what I called my attention, was that part of the face had burns on his face, well not the entire face.

"Hey. What's the point?" he asked.

Then the colonel gave us a serious look. We also pay attention to.

"I'm not going to lie. We're in a damn situation, so it will be very obvious, we will not take the city. We'll have to get the most fuel we can on this base"

Just a moment. On this basis there is so much fuel, is that this city has so much ilmusión, it would be very obvious that this base has a lot of fuel.

"So our goal is to protect the base while the fuel is transported. As with many chances do not come back" In that part, i look the other comrades. "But how much i want to protect them, not make it. But their lives are in your hands, if you want to live, have to do what I say. If you do well, perhaps most will tell what happened. Is that clear?" Colonel conclude with a question.

"Yes sir" we all say.

The colonel did not look satisfied with that.

"I can not hear you!" He repeated the colonel, but stronger

"Yes sir!"

"I can not hear you!"

"Yes sir!"

"I can not hear you!"

The latter was alienated me. They win the word to all and shout.

"Don't talk like idiot!" Shout and all lent me.

I do not know if I should have silent or not, but I'm exhausted enough to withstand something.

Colonel stared at me, not as bad, if not, as smiling mockingly. This guy wants to teach me a lesson, chances would be embarrassing in front of my classmates

"Boy. We'll all miss him," said the colonel.

I know what he meant. He says my arrogance will kill me, do not provoke me. So I decided to play the same game.

"Then I'll make sure to kill all the Locust possible, to all remind me" I replied.

Colonel gave me a friendly smile, so I really liked. Now I feel more confident.

But a few moments later change his face serious and gloomy. He turned as he watched us.

"That they are waiting !? Move!" Yell colonel and all the soldiers moved.

I did not move. I was alone, literally. I looked around like an idiot.

"Boy!" Colonel cry and gave me the look. "Come here," I obeyed

Advancing toward him with a look of confusion

"You know where to go?" I wonder

"I just got here. Well, it is very obvious that this stand not knowing what I should do," I replied.

"Quiet boy. I'll tell you what you do"

Colonel stare into his eyes. He only hoped that the task would give me the base is not clean or distribute weapons.

"First of all I want to ask you something. How are you sixteen age and in military service?" I wonder.

The truth. I fought when i was 14. As was previously survivor. I had to fight for my life and the my partners.

I Take a deep breath and started counting.

"Before, i was a survivor" i said to Colonel and he put attention. "I could never live a normal life, well ... these days there is no normal life. But there develop my combat skills, it was pretty good. But one day, The Locust invaded our camp and destroyed. Before things got worse. A team from the COG, rescued us. During the rescue, A soldier watch my combat skills, so He offered me a place in the COG. accept to prevent more people die, because I know the COG, I will something useful here " i finish my explanation.

The colonel looked at me, seemed to respect me. My story apparently convinced him enough.

"Boy ... How good you are reconoce?" I wonder.

"I was looking for supplies when i was 10"

"Well. There are a rookie waiting at the entrance" He notice me and began to explain.

I did not care to go with a rookie. one month to stop being a rookie ago. I still remember the taunts they gave me.

"I want you and the rookie seek a sower in this area"

He gave me a map and i gave a look. They were marked possible locations of the sower. Save the map in my right pocket.

"I want you to locate and destroy"

It was no problem in locating, if not, in and destroy it. Surely improvise something.

"Agree"

Colonel gave me a smile and I him.

"Meet with him and look to the sower ... and good luck" he said with a smile

I saw him smiles the last time.

"I have always lucky," I said and I ran to the door.

He had come to the door. He was looking for the rookie unruffled. One indication of how he found was seeing a helmeted soldier, he did wrong recharge the lancer. I directed him to hurry and ask.

"You are the rookie who will go to recon?" I asked and he put me attention nervously.

"Y-yes. Are you my partner?"

"Yes" Affirm "My name is Hans Gaedke" I introduced me kindly.

He could reassure and looked at me cheerfully.

"My Name Is Benjamin Carmine" He was introduced

I opened my eyes widened and I was excited to hear that. It turns out I'm a very good friend of Clayton Carmine.

"Chanfle! I'm a friend of your brother !, Clay!" Ben said and was surprised.

"You know my brother ?!" H wonder enthusiastically.

"Yes. I was his partner for three months"

Well ... my only three months in military service.

"I can not believe it"

If equally.

Then I remembered my mission and then speak to Ben.

"We'll talk later. You better get moving," I said as I prepared my Lancer

Ben nodded his head and we got out of the entrance to the base and proceeded to search the sower
