Our adventure begins at our age of 14, when we fought to survive daily and where every victory decided who you were in life. My name is Alex and my good friend is Tyler, and together we tried to survive useing devices given to us just this year. These devices are known as Mecha-pods. The Mecha-pods allowed us to fight others with Mecha-pods. Now, Tyler and I are orphans, so we had to live in an alley a good lot of our lives. Luckily, the schoolmaster, at the nearby school, found us and decided we could go to his school to learn how to use the devices, which he gave to us later. Then one day, after we got to school, we were not taught by our usual teacher, but one man in a grey hood.
The same was with everyone of our classes. We would walk into a room and find one of these hooded men. It's not that they were bad teachers, no, but it was their appearance that worried us. So later that day we eavsdropped on them and found out they were the Tech-Masters, extremely powerful mecha fighters who out did everyone they fought. As we walked home that day we were jumped by some thugs. We quickly challenged them to a mecha battle, because if you refuse you lose your only defence in this crazy, messed up world. Tyler and I may not have had the best mecha, but my speed and his strength outdid the thugs. For the next few days our life was the same, that is until the Battle Dome opened. The Battle Dome is where any mecha fighters can come in and show their stuff. We entered a few times and most of the time we came out victorious. Little did we realize every time you win in the Battle Dome you get paid a lot of money. So one day we show up "home" and find a man holding a suitcase. Naturally we asked him who he was and what he wanted. We were both very suprised when he handed us the suitcase of money. He told us we won that from the fights and we didnt care, we moved on from there and got our own house and jobs! Tyler got a job as a gladiator, meaning he gets paid double for wins at the Battle Dome, but he had to face stronger foes. My job was an inventor, and i loved making my own weaponry. We lived pretty well then and we gained some really nice equipment too. I even built my own elemental sword! One day, though, we woke up to see our Mecha-pods with a question on their screens. the question was: "Do you wish to wake up?", and, being curious, we both selected "yes".
