"Sorry for the delay I was getting a bit further a head on the story I have currently made 21 chapters so I'm a bit ahead and that means more regular uploads :)"

Jacob and Marcus were on a carriage heading to a controlled are runned by the Rooks while Jacob was driving Marcus slipped on his new jacket he wasnt a fan of yellow but he was happy there wasnt much on his gear.

"Jacob, perfect fit mate cheers for this".

Jacob put on his hat and patted Marcus's back "No probs mate now lets introduce you to the rest of the rooks at the proving grounds".

Marcus frowned "Proving Grounds?"

Jacob shrugged his shoulders "Its pretty much an underground fighting arena we use it on new recruits, if they are capible fighters they are on the front lines with me when we move to take on a turf, if they aint capible fighters they are assigned as scouts gathering intel on locations and keep them off the front lines unless they become capible to fight".

Marcus nodded his head slowly "Thats a pretty sensible way to sort out your recruits".

"It sure is there are no losers and hardly and sacking we always find ways for people to help, so your postion will be determined today".
Moments later Jacob and Marcus entered the underground arena and immeadiatly the Rooks cheered as Jacob made his appearence as he stood in the middle of the ring.

Jacob raised his hands to his comrades "Rooks quiet if you may I have some important news".

The crowed went silent and Jacob waved to Marcus to come to the ring "Thank you now today we have a new recruit but this is not just no ordinary recruit, but please hear me out before you judge".

Jacob pointed to Marcus as he walked around the ring explaining the new recruit
"This man's name is Marcus, he was once in line with our enemy the Templars but a few days ago me and my sister Evie witness this man turn on them by destroying one of their factories in an attempt to rescue children who were enslaved there, he did this on his own he never came to us he just followed his heart beliving he made a mistake but now he stands here with us looking to correct his wrongs do you respect this mans actions".

The Rooks cheered

"Do you believe he belongs here?"

The Rooks cheered louder

"Do you believe he is a Rook!?"

The Rooks shook the building with their cheers and Marcus just smiled looking around

"Then we will welcome him into our family"

Jacob turned to Marcus "Marcus its time to find your place amoung the Rooks, you will have four rounds to prove yourself if you can fight you will join the front lines if you cant you will become one of our finest scouts, there are no losers goodluck my friend, good luck! BRING THE FIRST FIGHTER FORWARD".

Jacob hugged Marcus "Good luck lad show us what you got".

Jacob left to be at ringside and Marcus's first oppenant stepped in a small guy but was indeed a fighter.
The small fighter charged at Marcus and threw a punch but Marcus blocked and countered with a swift punch to the gut and lifting him into the air and slamming him into the ground and puuting him in a chokehold till the small fighter tapped.
The first round was only 20 seconds which shocked the crowd even Jacob but the crowd cheered harder.
The second fighter was more built and the same hieght as Marcus he taunted him telling Marcus to come get him the two connected punch after punch after punch kick after kick both evenly matched until the fighter swinged a left hook which Marcus dodged and delivered a nasty hook landing right on the guys jaw sending him to the ground dazed the ref counted to 10 and Marcus won the 2nd round and the crowd was going wild for Marcus.
Jacob smiled absolutley loving the fact Marcus was holding his own he did indeed hope Marcus could fight cause he wanted him on the front lines.
Marcus helped the fight up which the fight accepted and got out of the ring then all of a sudden two giant hands grabbed him from behind and threw him across to the other side which shook Marcus when he looked up he saw a freaking giant and the crowd cheered LOCO, which Marcus realised he was the champion of the ring.
Loco was a freaking monster of a giant built like a tank and was unlike anything he had seen.

Jacob jogged up to Marcus still sitting in the cornor "A big one isnt he Marcus boy"

Marcus straight at him "I think your being modest on his size".

Jacob could only laugh "He threw you cause he wants to make this realistic like you were facing a Templar henchmen, outside the ring hes a gentle giant".

Marcus looked back at him "Are you trying to make me feel better"

"Nah Im serious mate now listen he may be big but he is slow if you pay attention to his movements you will evade those big hands of his, believe me its one punch knock out with this guy also he likes to hug".

"What do you mean he likes to HHUUUUGGG!" Loco grabbed his legs and threw him out of the cornor which made Jacob laugh.

Loco cracked his knuckles "Welcome to the Rooks Marcus, no hard feelings mate but we got to know what your made of".
Marcus stood up "No hard feelings man lets do this".

Loco laughed "I like your spirit" he then charged and Marcus managed to jump out of the way in time and Loco crashed in to the corner destroying it but it didn't affect him and he turned around and threw punches but with Marcus being smaller he was able to dodge and deliver punches to the mans stomach then one to the face but the punch to the face did nothing and Loco pushed him against the ropes send Marcus back at him and delivered a deadly close line making Marcus backflip making the crowd and Jacob wince in pain.

Marcus struggled to get up and was soon put into a bear hug by Loco and he could feel all his bones cracking but he refused to tap and delivered a few punches to Loco's head making him drop Marcus allowing him to run of the ropes behind him dodging another close line and then jumped on the rope turning with momentum putting all his weight into the punch but Loco had the same idea he turn just as Marcus jumped and the two fighters landed their punches at the same time knocking them both out and the crowd went nuts even Jacob was jumping up and down and threw his hat to the ground in all the excitement they truly had an amazing Rook among their ranks, Jacob entered the ring and saw the two fighters were out and turned to the crowd

"ROOKS WE HAVE NEW FIGHTER AMOUNG US!" and the crowd went nuts cheering both Loco and Marcus
Marcus started to come back round feeling his cheek being rapidly tapped
"Wake up lad wake up you slept enough the past two days"

Marcus was helped up by Jacob and he saw Loco getting up and coming towards him with a smile and offered his hand "Welcome to the Rooks Marcus".
Marcus smiled and shook Loco's hand "Im proud to be here my friend" then Loco hugged him which he returned
Jacob turned to the crowd "Well Rooks this calls for a celebration lets all go to the pub and get this Marcus boy pissed".
Marcus was welcomed into the family they drank the night away laughing, crying, pranking, betting it was one hell of a graduation he was now a Rook and he liked it.

"LOCO will be involved in the story quite a bit I have come up with a great story for him which I think you will like and as for Jacob and Marcus they will be doing a few missions together and Evie will be on the train most of the time, not cause I don't have any ideas for her its cause I want to give a few characters some time in the spotlight before she becomes involved permanently but there will be moments involving her until then, mostly with Marcus ;)"
