"Ryan!" I screamed an Azsher took him away.

"TOBY! HELP ME!" he yelled as his body was being crushed in to nothing between the azsher's strong jaws.

I ran faster than, my legs could carry me, the volcanic rock melted the soles of my shoes slowing me down. The azsher took one last menacing look at me and flew off in to the smoke on the volcano. I watched as my only family was taken away from me. I dropped to my knees as my jeans burned through.

"Ahhh!" I yelled waking up in a sweat. Tori quickly ran in o see what was happening.

"What! What is it? Did you have the dream again?" I starred at her blankly and nodded. She threw me my uniform shirt and pants; I pulled them on and got up.

"You should really see the base counselor about that." She said picking up my tablet. "Whoa, 17 messages! Toby you should read these more often. They are all from the general."

"I don't want another mission." I said looking out at the base. A new delivery of guns had arrived and people were fighting how to unload them. Jackson was yelling at a freshman for scratching his new speeder. The gray cement lightly blanketed with snow.

"You should get out more. You need a new mission." Tori said hitting accept on a mission.

"NO! What are you doing! I can't go back out there again!" I said grabbing my tablet back, scrolling through the description.

Dear Mr. Toby Moore,

You have been assigned to retrieve a hostile technology from one of their main bases in South America. The base is north of volcano Alexandra; bring Jackson Miller as your partner. Good luck solider .

Sincerely,

General Hill, Administration

"I have to go with Jackson! Tori why would you accept that! I hissed through clenched teeth.

"Whoa, I just hit accept on a random mission. You should have checked your messages sooner." She said crossing her arms.

"Oh no you didn't! You did read the description! You chose that one to make me go with Jackson!" I said throwing my tablet on the bed.

"Not true! I chose that one because, guess where you are heading? Volcano Alexandra." She said picking up my tablet.

"No! No No No! I can't go back there! Not where…where Ryan was taken…" I said tearing back the tears
