The Academy for Future Invaders
An alien instructor barked commands, at a group of young aliens, in a large, fenced-in area. It was outdoors, and hot, from one of their closest suns. They weren't exactly smeets, but they were not fully grown. They all had the same mint-green skin, long coal black gloves covering all the way up to their elbows, and a pair of black antennae. Most of them had ruby-red eyes, but their was an occasional plum in the bunch. All these traits showed their true race. These were Irken youngsters, training to be Invaders, when they finally passed the Complete Test.
"Jump that pit!" Ah, yes. It was part of, the infamous Test. These aliens, who were separated from the rest, were taking their final test. If they graduated, they'd be allowed, to be an Invader. First, they must ask permission to prove themselves worthy, of the title, from the Tallest, aka. the Irken Leaders. And by the Tallest, I use the term literally. The Tallest were actually the tallest of all their race. Funny, huh? Ok, back to the testing.
The first alien in line took a running start, and leapt. He just missed and fell, but hung on, by the edge. He climbed out and looked a bit dazed. He'd passed, but was most likely not going to be, a "good invader". You needed perfect accuracy on these things, and apparently, he didn't have it. There were only a select few, who had been doing that good. Next, was a very short male. He completely missed, and was zapped up, in a light, just before his hit the magma below. Another failure.
"Next!" Shouted the trainer, shaking his head and feeling horrible. At least one of them, had to do it. Another stepped forward. This Irken was about twice the size of the tiny one, who didn't make it. That was a plus, on the last part of, the Test. They got a running start, just like the others, but just before they jumped, legs shot out of their pack and held them up safely, as the Irken landed, perfectly on the other side. The coach walked over to this alien.
"Good. You used your brains. Now, let's say you didn't have your Pak. What would you do, then?"
"Jump it, of course." Replied the Irken. The voice made it clear that this was a female. For some reason, most females hadn't done well on the Test. However, so far, she was doing the opposite and it pleased the instructor.
"Kar, I'd like you to do it again. No Pak. Go on."
The alien female, called Kar, walked around the crevice, and back to the starting point. The head Irken signed for her to go, and she ran. Her tracks made the dirt into dust. Had she made it? As the dust cleared, and the other aliens who were on that side watched her do it, they all could see her triumph. This made the teacher ecstatic. One of his students was…
"First to pass the Complete Test! Congratulations, Kar! You've done it! You shall be notified, when we have got through, to the Tallest. You may go collect your belongings, and head to the Station. Await confirmation, there."
"Yes, Sir." She answered, obediently.
Kar smiled, and raised one fist in the air. Ha! She'd done it! The others, who had been waiting in line, all watched her, angry that they hadn't been the first, and praying to Mother Irk, they would not fail. She ignored their mixed looks and walked to her "dome". The door slid open, and the female entered. It was similar to a human dorm, and where she had lived, while learning and training, at the Irken Academy. She said her farewells, to her two dome-mates, who'd shared it with her, grabbed her bag of things and headed to the Station. The Station, was where she would send out her message, and contact the Tallest. She was so happy! They'd be awfully glad, to speak with the First to Finish, right? Kar hoped so. With another triumphant look, she walked through the doors and into the first room. This was her chance, and she vowed not to take no for an answer.
