Chapter 1
The beginning…
"Well seems like your just fine, perfect for a 16 year old. So that means you have a G.O.A.T. to take today."
"urrrgh…ok" grumbled Mykel, "well since I have to take it, any advice"
"well it's a very simple process, there's no right or wrong answers, But you still shouldn't take it lightly son. Now go on" his father said in a calm voice,
"Well I guess I have no choice." Said with a sigh
"hello, am I interrupting something here?"
"Oh hello Jonas, Mykel was just leaving to take his G.O.A.T, go on son" said his father
"ok… hey Jonas" said Mykel as he was walking out
"Fine boy you have there, his mother would be proud" spoke Jonas with a grin
"Yes she would… now how were the results?"
Mykel proceed down the hall.
"Butch stop it"said a voice
"Great not this again…" Mykel said to himself
Mykel had nothing against Butch and his so called gang, but sometimes they just went to far, especially when they messed with Amata.
"What's goin' on here Butch" Mykel said with a sigh
Butch turned to face Mykel with an annoyed look on his face
"Yo watcha want, Mikey"
"Just leave Amata alone already, ok" said Mykel
"Whatcha gonna do about?" Butch said unfolding his arms, and stepping in front of Amata.
"Do you really wanna do this now butch, I dnt really have time for this…WE do have a test to take."Mykel said gesturing to the clock on the wall
"I don't care 'bout no test… lets show him how we tunnel snakes do things 'round here."
"Three against one huh? ...guess you're not man enough to take me on yourself" Mykel replied with a sly snicker
"You gonna let him talk to you like that butch?, you don't need us to beat this punk, Kick his ass" Wally yelled toward Butch
Angered with what Wally had said Butch charged Mykel. He swung but Mykel easily dodged, Mykel countered Butch's recklessness with a flurry of his own punches. Butch fell back onto his butt, wiping the blood from his mouth he stood up. "What are you guys waiting for… GET HIM!!!" Yelled Butch, and just like the lackeys they were, ran towards Mykel but were interrupted by Amada stepping in between them .
"SSSSTTOOOPPPP!!!!....thats enough you guys" Yelled Amata looking at Butch and his crew
"And why should we leasing to you, gurlie' said butch stepping in front of his goons,
"because… because I'll tell my father" Amata said stepping into Butch's comfort zone
"Damn…you didn't have to take it this far, let's go tunnel snakes" signaled Butch as he eyed Mykel leaning against the wall with a slight grin across his face
"This Isn't over punk" said butch as the other two nodded and pounded their knuckles into one another.
'Thanks Amata, I don't know what I would have done without your help" said Mykel
"I do… That's exactly why I stopped you, but thank you any way" she replied turning to face her savior,
"Those guys can be so annoying sometimes… OH MAN…THE G.O.A.T." she said looking at the clock,"
"Let's go!" she said as he replied with a nod
Amata and Mykel entered the room and were met by Mr. Botch
"Well Well look who decided to drop in" he said, "just in time, everyone to your seats please, let's get this started shall we"
Mykel and Amata sat at the desk closest to the front.
"All right since everyone Is seated let's get started." He said clearing his throat,
"Question number one: If a frenzied vault scientist goes up to you and says, 'I want to put my quantum harmonizer in your phototonic resonation chamber!' How do you respond?"
"Hmph… this is really going to be interesting" Mykel said to himself as he answered
20 minutes later…
"Okay class. It's over. The infamous G.O.A.T. be sure to turn in your papers when you're done. You don't want to know what happens to those who 'fail' the test. Feel free to take the rest of the day off to celebrate… or pray for your future."
Everyone had gotten up to get there results. Mykel remained in his seat, to wait for everyone to finish, and heared butch's position as a hair dresser.
"I guess the up side to that is his friends can get free haircuts." Mykel said under his breath.
After waiting for all but five minutes, Mykel walked over to Mr. Botch,
"So Mr. Botch, please tell me I passed"
"As if you could fail right?" he replied
"oh yea" Mykel said laughing and rubbing the back of his head
"Well, well…let's see here…ummm hmmm… well congrats because you'll be working in the armory" he said as he looked up to see nothing but a confused written face
"The…Armory" mykel replied
"yes…cleaning guns, learning how to repair them, you know, the good stuff"
"Oh… ok…sounds… fun, well thanks Mr. Botch, at lease im not stuck with your job" he said as he waved his leave
3 years later……………
"Wake up, Wake up….come on Mykel wake up"
