Legend of the White Shadow

It was another day on Pioneer 2. Everyone was moving about doing their daily routines, hoping that one day they could safely live on Ragol. In the hunters guild, they were starting a new program for younger citizens aspiring to be hunters, known as the "youth colonization plan". thousands of young Humans and Newmans were lined up in a large room, awaiting orders from their trainers. a white-haired HUnewearl girl approached one of the trainers, looking determined.

"State your name, class, and Section ID, so we may assign you a teacher."

The Newman girl nervously began to speak

"My name is Tenshi, I am a HUnewearl, and belong to the Section ID "Whitill". I hope I can become a great asset to the hunters guild."

Her trainer entered her information in a computer, and handed her several items

"This is the standard equipment of all members of the hunter class. It consists of one photon saber, a standard frame, one MAG, and 300 mesetas. Be careful not to lose them, for you will be using them rather often from now on. When your ID number "HUN-3467" is announced, please return to this area to be paired with a teacher, and possibly a partner."

"Thank you, I'll stay close by, just in case."

However, when she saw her friend, Sakura, a pink-haired FOnewearl from across the room, she quickly forgot her promise, and ran over to her

"Sakura-chan! I did it! I'm a hunter!"

"Wow, congratulations, Tenshi! I just became a Force!"

"That's great! Its been so long since we talked. What's new in your life?"

"well... it's not really part of MY life, but I thought that you would find this interesting..."

She pulled out a small hologram projector that began displaying a news article from several days ago

Mysterious Vigilante Hunter Strikes Again

This was the scene in jungle sector 2, when a renegade RAcast had been brought to justice by a mysterious Hunter the previous night. although the RAcast was still functioning at the time of his capture, he was unable to move, and his memory files of the previous night had been wiped clean. When the P2 police force arrived on the scene, they detected trace amounts of an unknown photon energy type in the area, signifying that this "Mystery Hunter" must be armed with an illegally modified weapon. Since no one was at the scene of the fight to claim the bounty on the RAcast, it has been donated to various projects on Pioneer 2, including the DF cell research project, Lavis weapon development, and the youth colonization plan

Sakura turned off the hologram projector, and placed it in her pocket

"So what do you think, Ten-chan? doesn't this "mystery hunter" sound cool?"

"I'm not really sure... those bounty hunters will do anything for some quick cash, after all. who knows? Maybe he'd get a job to kill some new hunters like us?"

"Aw, you worry too much, Ten-chan! You aren't going to become a great hunter if you're always worrying about something!"

*Attention please, attention please, will ID number FOR-6782 please report to the front desk?*

"Awk! That's my number! Gotta go, Ten-chan!"

"Okay, good luck, Sakura-chan!"

She sat down on a bench and waited for her number to be called. Looking down on the planet below them through a glass window, She felt a feeling of serenity, but suddenly...

"CRAP! CRAP! How could I have overslept on a day like this!?"

A young FOmar, clad in white, ran into the room, obviously in a rush. He weaved between several hunters as he tried to reach the front desk. But, as he was nearing his destination, he tripped over his own robes, and landed on Tenshi!

"OwOwOw! Thats the last time I run with a robe on! Damn it! Where'd my hat go?"

He began to look around for his oversized force-hat, not seeming to notice that he was still lieing on Tenshi (in a suggestive position, for that matter :P). Tenshi calmly thought to herself about how to assess her situation

Okay, Tenshi... there is currently a strange human male on your body, in what can only be described as a suggestive position... I must assess this problem as only a woman would...

... ... ... ...

"GET OFF OF ME, YOU PERVERT!"

she reached up and grabbed the FOmar's neck, and began to swing him around her head, in a comical sack-of-potatoes manner

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN, GOT IT???"

She threw him at the glass window that showed the planet Ragol down below. When he collided with the window, his momentum seemed to make him stick to the surface for several seconds. He landed on the floor and fell unconscious, and Tenshi walked off in a huff

"Ugh... men are all the same!"

1 hour later...

*Attention please, attention please, will ID number HUN-3467 please report to the front desk?*

"Ara! that's me! i'd better get going!"

She ran up to the front desk as fast as possible, breathing heavily

"I'm... here to meet my teacher"

"Very well, your teacher will be a RAcaseal named KA8-T, or "Katie" as she prefers to be called. You will find her in room 4, along with your partner"

Tenshi entered room 4 and came face-to-face with her teacher. She was one of the newer models of RA-class androids, who wore a layer of artificial skin on their bodies, making them look essentially human

"Welcome to my group, Tenshi. I am Katie, your teacher, and this is your partner over here...'

She motioned her hand to an all-too-familiar FOmar sitting on a nearby bench. Tenshi's eyes almost seemed to fill with flames of anger.

"YOU!!!"

The FOmar extended his hand towards her

"Hiya. Sorry about that little incident earlier... My name's Seraphim... nice to meet you"
