The Legacy Ch. 1

"Isaac again! And watch your back this time" Miranda yelled as she launched another metal skeet shot into the air.

Isaac and his mother had been doing a lot of hardcore training with his biotic abilities since he was about six. They discovered he had incredible biotic abilities for someone so young and his talents and prowess with his abilities in combat only seemed to increase as he got older. He was now 17 years old and old enough to enter Grissom Academy. The acadamy had moved its campus to earth to allow more students after the reaper wars to be able to get a better education. However, only gifted and talented students generally were allowed in. He had been accepted because of his skills as a strong biotic but when the administration saw his test scores at his local school he was attending they also decided he would attend as a regular student and study math and science. No one was surprised of his skill in the least considering he was indeed the child of the famous Commander Shepard, but Miranda drove him very hard and always made sure he did his very best at everything he tried. She was his coach in life and despite her tough love approach with him Isaac still loved his mother and always stood at her side.

The skeet shot into the air and Isaac stood in position and tried to feel which direction it was coming from. Within seconds Isaac shot to his left and summoned a heavy warp blast and shot the skeet out of the sky but the drill was not over yet. By the time he had shot down the first skeet Miranda had sent out multiple others in different directions forcing Isaac to think fast. Time seemed to slow down around him and he moved gracefully avoiding some of the skeets while blasting others with warp shots and shockwaves. Not a mistake in his movements could be found and he passed his mothers drill with ease. As the last skeet fell to the ground in pieces Isaac slowed his pace and turned to his mother with a confident stance. He ran his fingers through his jet black hair matching his mothers and signed softly.

"Come on Mom! We have been over this drill a million times now. Cant we try something more advanced? Or are you running out of moves?" Isaac said with a grin.

"I never run out of moves. If I think your ready to move up the ladder then you will and I don't think your ready." Miranda stated bluntly walking over to Isaac with the same confident stance he was presenting to her.

"I am ready! Come on. Test me. I bet I can even take you on." Isaac stated confidently.

Miranda raised her eyebrows at this. She was aware of her sons pride in his abilities and most of the time it served him well. However, she knew that his slight arrogance would cost him here and she decided that it might be fun to teach her son a lesson. She could remember when she had this exact same attitude in her abilities. She was made to be perfect in every possible way a human woman could be and she thought herself that way for a long time. Shepard came a long though and taught her that she was just as human as anyone else and she makes mistakes but she can be proud of the things that she can do because she can choose what to do with them. Now it seemed that this was a lesson that Isaac would have to learn as well.

"Fine. Challenge accepted. If you can beat me in hand to hand and biotic combat ill make sure you get more advanced training. If you do not you will continue to do as I instruct and I will hear no more complaints. Understood?" Miranda said.

Isaac was obviously pleased with her answer and he nodded and said "Got it. Oh and if I beat you I get to have the rest of the day to go and do as I please for the rest of the day. No more drills and no more studying. Deal?" he said holding out his hand.

"Deal." Miranda responded shaking his hand in return.

They both wasted no time jumping into the sparring match with one another. Within seconds punches began to flow and both of there bodies began to charge in a blue biotic aura. They both flowed so gracefully that one would wonder whether they were actually sparring or dancing. Isaacs strength in this battle was his biotics and he threw blast after blast at Miranda before a few finally managed to hit her slighty. This did not slow her down though and she responded with a biotic pull launching him into the air. Isaac shifted and jerked and much as he could before Miranda came in for a few power hits knocking him back down to the ground. As soon as he was able Isaac leaped back up to his feet and launched himself back toward Miranda for another round of throwing fist. The match went on for quite a few minutes before Isaac could feel himself to start to wear down. His mother was the obvious veteran in battle as she blocked or dogged almost his every move while Isaac, who was also dogging a lot of her moves began to start to feel her fist jam into his sides. "Why the hell did I challenge her? You've really gotten yourself into some deep crap now. She isn't even slowing down! When does she stop?" Isaac thought to himself. Before he knew it his mother moved behind him so quickly that he barely could see her and then he felt a sharp jab to his shoulder blades and immediately fell to the ground.

"Ahhh! Dammit! Ouch…" Isaac said attempting to pull himself up.

"Do you yield?" Miranda asked him in an obviously amused tone.

Isaac tried to lift himself back up but soon he felt a heel touch his back and shove him back down.

"Do you yield Isaac?" She asked again.

He honestly didn't see how he was going to get back up. His arms and legs felt like jelly and he was sore all over. He began to rethink his actions at that moment and with a sigh he nodded signaling his defeat. His mother smiled down and him and gently reached down and pulled him back into a standing position. Immediately she began inspecting him making sure she hadn't hit him too hard and that he wasn't terribly injured. Isaac could see the worry in her expression and he smiled a bit and touched his mothers arm affectionately letting her know he was okay.

"I'm alright mom. No worries. Your right…I'm not ready for the advanced training. I was stupid to be so cocky. I apologize. It wont happen again. I'm glad we got to spar though. That was a lot of fun." He said laughing softly.

Miranda laughed a bit as well and said "Good I'm glad we understand each other now. Although I do have to admit you caught me good a few times. Took me by surprise. Your skills are incredible for someone so young. I'm very proud of you. Your attitude is also very noble. You're a good kid." She said messing up his hair slightly.

She paused for only a moment and said "With a performance like that you most defiantly deserve to have the rest of the day off. Go out and have fun tonight."

Isaac looked at his mother in surprise and delight and said "Really? I lost the bet though."

"It doesn't matter. You're a teenager you need to have fun. This is your reward. You might want to get yourself cleaned up first though." She said with a warm smile.

Isaac grinned from ear to ear at this and pulled Miranda into a tight hug and then gave her a small pack on the cheek before jogging off to there home to get cleaned up.

"Thanks mom! See you later!" he said as he walking away.

Miranda shook her head and laughed. Isaacs carefree and relaxed personality was charming and it was no wonder she had let him go early. He was like his father in so many ways and she would never so anything to crush his innocence. It was a rare trait to come by these days and deserved to be preserved. This was the personality that had saved there galaxy and one that should never be tossed away. After he was out of her sight she headed back toward there practice ring to clean up after there morning drills.
