CHAPTER 1: Mika's P.O.V

My name is Mika 01 im an Irken soldier in training but im horrible at my job. pft who wants to be a war soldier anyway?
whats with the number you ask? well with popular names (i.e: Red, Scootch) its easier to keep track of them all by the numbers, or atleast thats what my supreme officer told me when i was first...erm...zapped to life.

The only friend i have on this god forsaken planet is my SIR unit Kin. shes kinda weird...but cute...her eyes are a bright, shiney gold color just like her personality, which is weird because SIR units arent supposed to have personalities. Well its not like im any diffrent, irken soldiers are supposed to be emotionless killers, who fear and regret nothing, but not me...im emotional, afraid of practically everything, and i regret alot of things. Kin sits in my lap as my officer starts giving directions to us about the great assigning.

afterwards i rush home, unlike other Irkens i prefer to sleep in an old abandoned warehouse rather than a hybernation tube
waiting for them to send jolts of electricity through my antenna telling me to wake up. besides Kin does that for me.
the great assigning is tomorrow but we just had the great assigning a few months back...oh well better get some sleep.

i hear a ringing and look up from my bed at Kin, shes ringing. I lightly tap her antenna and the sudden noise stops...its morning already? I get up and change into my uniform. the colors of our uniforms show our rank yellow is for librarians, and historians
red is for elite soldiers, and those sent out to war. purple is royalty, yet I have a blue uniform showing that I was in training, and not capable of being soilder. black shows those left behind, outcasts, and traitors. our eye colors range from red and purple in some cases a light green and very rarely bright yellow. mine were a shining color of blue its weird really my commanding officer said those with blue eyes were special in a way...but im the only blue eyed irken on this planet and all I have is bad luck. Kin tugs at my antenna telling me its time to leave.

It seems im once again put at the very back of the crowd watching all those soldiers get chosen. after they were all chosen a sudden bolt of courage raced up my spine as i ran up to the stage and screamed something like "please i trained hard let me come". wait i never wanted to go in the first place. me and my big mouth. The tallest stared down at me with their glaring eyes. I felt my cheeks darken. i never really liked attention towards me. "how dare you come-" Red began to say but Purple interupted him "LETS TAKE HER WITH US!!!" he screamed excitedly. "what?" both myself and tallest Red asked dumbfounded. Purple just grabs my wrist and drags me to the other soldiers. "omg" one whispers "tallest purple touched her" i gulp feeling that the female soldiers are the tallests fangirls.

Kin helps me pack my stuff and she sits on my shoulder as we get near the ship known as "the massive". we both stare up at it. "wow..." Kin comments "yeah...wow" i say back. I show the boarding lieutendant my ID and get on the city sized ship.

they led my to my "room" but seriously they could have put me in the storage room and id be happy, stupid hybernation tanks, I mumbled. The tallest were going on a seperate ship and meeting us on the next planet Kin told me cheerily. i sighed may as well take a walk.

i think were going to the control room i said looking at the digital map of the ship. 'YAY WERE LOST!' Kin cheered. I sighed again before pushing two doors open and coming face to face with a scene of destruction. I saw an irken without her pack taking one of the guards saber blades and just killing them all with one swing each. I run up trying to stop her but she punches me and i stumble back and fall on my ass. she points the blade at my neck. I gulp, she glares at me and tosses the blade aside grunting. i had closed my eyes and brought an arm to cover my face, i open one eye and stare dumbfounded. I suddenly feel a grin coming up she backs away slightly "whats with that look?" she asks me confused. i just get up and brush myself off before gasping "oh dear your clothes are all torn!" she covers herself blushing and yelling angrily "YEAH I NOTICED!" i suddenly grab her wrist and drag her back to my quarters.
she is obviously surprised by my actions. "HEY!" she yells "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" i just give her a grin and say "well i cant leave you here bearing all, i think i have something that might fit you" she just stares at me weirdly "HEY! KIN C'MON!" i yell as she runs out dragging another SIR unit with her. i just chuckle and continue running.
