Chapter 12
Azreal woke up to fox pounding on his door and yelling "Get the fuck up! You can fight aliens but can't even wake up on time! We're gunna be late!"
He got up walked to the door and pulled it open "I'm up Christ your loud."
"Let's go, we have to pick up the others then we can go."
Alright, he walked outside following fox to a silver convertible. "Where's your dad at?" Azreal asked as he got into the passenger seat.
"He said he had to go change your program, for today. Something to do with you being a super soldier." Fox started the car with the push of a button and it lifted off the ground by a foot and a half.
"Anti-Grav?"
"Close, it's a gravity dampener."
"So I've been dying to ask. What were you weapons like back in sol." Fox said as they pulled up.
"First where are you going the girls said they were staying at Katts place."
Fox looked shocked "How the hell did you hear that?"
"Augmentation, remember. But to answer your question we use ballistic weapons."
"Oh there's only one place in Lylat that even makes those any more. And most of it's illegal because of how brutal they are." he said as they got back to the house and honked.
The three girls burst out of the house and ran through the rain to the car. They didn't say hi because Azreal asked a question and they wanted to hear what the two had been conversing about. "So who makes em I might have to go drop by."
"O'Donnell Industries. Miyu is actual dating the heir to the family right now."
"What are you two talking about?" Miyu asked
"Oh well, Azreal here uses ballistic weapons not energy. So I thought he might want to get some."
"Hey guys, I'd rather you call me Gianvito or GV instead. Azreal is more used when I'm on missions or in the field."
"No problem. Anything for a hunk like you." Katt purred staring at his arms now.
"God, Katt leave the poor kid alone." Fay pushed Katts head so she couldn't see Azreal.
This caused everyone to laugh a few minutes of mindless banners latter. They pulled into the parking lot of the school. "Okay listen GV, no one has seen anything like you and not everyone is as welcoming as us. So try not to hurt any body if they try to cause shit." Fox said as they walked to the main entrance of the school.
They were greeted by General Pepper, James, Peppy, a toad and open stares from everyone in the hall. Pepper broke the awkward silence "Alright Mister Auditore, for your first test we'll be heading to the treadmills to me sure your endurance. Fox you can come with us."
They left the girls in the hall and followed the trio of adults into the weight room. "Hello I'm Belntino Toad, its a pleasure to meet the first out of system contact. Now I'd like you to step on here and run as long as you can. Every few minutes we will increase the speed and elevation. Ready go."
He ran for a solid hour without breaking a sweat. The treadmill was at 50km an hour and 30% elevation. "Alright I'm calling it he's to fit to test he's not even out of breath God when you said super soldier you weren't kidding." Belntino said not believing what he was seeing.
"You think that's good get me my suit. It doubles my abilities." Azreal added.
"Shit! Well let's see you weight lifting capabilities." Pepper said as the group moved to the bench. "How much you want?"
"Four 50s on each side." he said calmly knowing very well he could do more.
"God damn man. Alright Fox, James load it up." Pepper exclaimed.
As they finished Azreal got on the bench and went to work doing five sets of 20 with only a single bead of sweat running down his forehead.
"Alright let's just skip the rest of the fitness stuff we know he's a beast." Fox suggested
"I think it's a good idea let's go to unarmed combat, let's head over to the gym it's 5th period now so the seniors should be in there." Peppy said as they left the weight room. They drew the stares of every animal that saw them all looking at Azreal.
"Do they have to stare? It makes me feel like a freak." Azreal groaned
"Their just curious. Besides we're here, general you should make the announcement." James said
Pepper cleared his throat loudly, causing every ones heads to look toward him then to Azreal. Hello seniors, I'm here to introduce our first out of system contact," he motioned to the human with his hand " Mr. Auditore. We are here to test his combat skills and we need volunteers." almost all the Guys hands went up and quite a few girls too. "Now I must warn you he is one of his races soldiers." all but four hands went down.
"Alright Fox go watch with your friends." his dad said to him.
Fox walked over to Falco, bill, Katt, Fay, Miyu and Fara while Azreal entered the octagon ring. "Hey Fucker! Forget about something." Falco was obviously agitated
Fox shook his head. "Let me remind you, Me and Bill under the hospital bed! We had to walk home, 15 miles, In the fucking RAIN!"
"Oops." Fox mumbled
Oops... All you have to say is oops! I'm going to kic..."
"Shut up the show is starting!" Katt pointed out as everyone found seats in the bleachers. The first challenger to enter the ring was a black panther. He side stepped around the arena as Azreal just stood in the centre not even moving his head. "Oh I can't watch. GVs gunna get creamed." Katt worried.
When the panther got behind Azreal he charged fangs bared, claws out. Azreal didn't move until he heard the cat about a foot behind him, he pivoted on his left foot swinging his right fist at extreme speeds.
Wham! Crack!
The blow made contact with the panthers muzzle which broke on impact knocking the unfortunate feline out. He landed on his back with a thud. Every one sat there shocked, with one punch the alien knocked out Panther, one of the most agile fighters in the school.
Two of the schools nurses hauled the feline to the nurse's office to recover. The next person up to fight, a female tiger, backed out and ran to the bleachers.

Note: don't worry the chapter doesn't end here. I just need to fill you guys in on something that happened to me. Right now I'm in the hospital with two stab wounds to my leg. Yes, I am alright. Now to understand what happened you'll need to read the note at the end of the chapter. Sorry if my writing degrades after this point I'm just in alota pain ATM. And I hope you don't mind that I changed Azreals name that the main characters use but I promised my cousin that id use his name and familia is everything.

The person behind here didn't run but he did hesitate before entering. He was a 5'10" rhino. He was extremely muscled which gave him great strength but was slow and cumbersome. He didn't waste any time and charged headlong into melee range. He pulled back his arm to send a huge right hook at Azreals head. The punch would have been a knock out blow to anyone but it was so telegraphed that Azreal just side stepped it, raise his knee to his chest and booted the animal out of the ring.
"Damn! He's fucking unstoppable he just took out some of our best fighters without even being touched!" Falcos jaw was hanging.
"Careful Falco a bug might fly into your mouth." Bill said trying hard not to copy Falcos reaction.
The general raised his voice "Alright now onto armed combat. Grab a training blade that suits you by the rack."
Azreal and his next opponent stepped over to the weapon rack. Azreal let his opponent go first. He watched as the grey wolves picked out a segmented metal grieve with wooden claws at the tip of each finger. He held out his other hand to Azreal "Hey my names O'Donnell, good luck. You'll need it I haven't lost a single fight in armed combat training."
Azreal picked out a wooden combat knife with a 12 inch blade and a 6 inch handle. "Keep it. You'll need it more." he then walked to his side of the ring.
James entered and walked to the center. "The fight ends when one person is knocked out or yields."
"Who are you guys rooting for?" Bill asked. "I personally got my money on Azreal."
"I agree, Wolf doesn't know what he's getting into." Fox added.
"Well I think Wolf has this. I mean he hasn't lost once." Falco said eyes glancing between his friends and the arena.
"First time for everything." Fay and Katt said simultaneously.
"What about you Miyu?"
"I... I don't know."
The vulpine in the centre of the ring shouted "Begin" then dashed outa the way just in time because wolf was already coming at the human claw poised to strike. Azreal brought up his knife blocking the strike then sent his left hand careening into Wolf's stomach.
Wolf clutched his stomach and back pedaled a few yard but quickly recovered and threw a wild right claw at his opponents face. Azreal moved to block with his left hand, but it was just a faint and Wolf howled in joy as he changed his direction of his attack to hit Azreal stomach. But his blow never landed. Azreal was holding onto his forearm with his right hand.
"What! Where's your blade?" in reply Azreal brought his knee up and kick the lupine to the ground. He raised his hand and caught his spinning blade out of the air.
He pulled his arm back "Right here." and let the blade loose. It was a perfect toss and for wolf time seemed to slow down as the carved piece of wood connected butt first right between his eyes. He fell on his back and didn't get up.
The crowd was stunned. Most refused to believe what they saw. Others couldn't comprehend it. Wolf O'Donnell Lost? It never seemed possible.
"Alright... Anyone else want to try? We need just one more to finish the evaluation." Belntino asked the quiet students.
No one answered. No one in their right mind was going to face off against that beast. The toad sighed and started to walk off until he heard the door open and a slightly accented voice say.
"I'll do it."

Notes: I'll get right to it. I'm part of Canada's spec op cadet program, which my cousin got me into, at 16. I was in a mil sim training op using airsoft guns and wooden knives. I ended up in a fight with a buddy of mine. He's 6'6" 285 pounds of muscle but a little on the slow side in the brain department. He doesn't really know his own strength. And I'm sure you can fill in the rest with your imagination cause I don't remember much after that. But I'll keep writing for you guys and push through the pain.
