OK this is told in a third party POV, it will be separated into the different characters POV's in the next story(s). But I don't know who's POV I'll do first. Don't judge me to harshly guys O.O I don't usually write for the public, so I'm stepping out on a limb letting you guys read this. Please I do want to know what everyone's opinion is. If you like it I'll write for the other characters I'm portraying. Well go ahead read it :p Oh, and I know I made a lot of spelling errors and junk, but I'm to lazy to go back and correct them all. OK, I'm done talking know...
History Lesson
This story takes place in the year 3125. It is tied in with the Ani-RPG I run, which is based on a future in which the Yeerks rule most of the universe.
The characters in this story are from a planet known as 'Crimea'. The Crimean people are related to the human race which is why they look human. The main difference between them and humans is the Crimeans have a higher consentration level the humans and there by can control different types of energy such as emotional, life force, and elemental.
This story is to explain more about the RPG characters Katt, Jace, Zeek, and Shane.
Chapter 1
"Four thirty everybody up!" Dave yelled walking into our bunker
"Forget you man.." Jace threw his pillow at him in reply.
"Yeah get lost." Zeek mumbled turning over.
"Hey I don't make the rules," Dave smiled "I just enforce them."
"Couldn't you just let us sleep for five more minutes?" Shane begged
"Nope. Time to rise and shine." He took one more look at the groggy group, and walked back outside.
"Four thirty? How come we are the only ones that have to get up before six?" Zeek complained
"Because we're special." Came Jessie's still sleep filled voice from outside the window "Hurry up guys, we are already running late."
The group of three got into their uniforms a little less then quickly, and headed out for morning drills. Jace ran his hand threw his short light brown hair. It came down just past his ears. His light green eyes still had some sleep in them. "Why did we have to be special?" He asked absentmindedly as they met up with Jessie about half way there.
"I don't think you guys could move any slower if you were dead." She smiled
"Like you've never ran late before." Jace shot back
"At least I get up before lunch is over."
"Only when daddy tells you." Zeek countered his spiked blonde hair shone in the morning sun. He was wide awake and you could see in his turquoise colored eyes he was ready to make some trouble.
"Be carful Zee, her daddy will kick your butt." Jace replied sarcastically
"Any body could kick Zeek's butt." Jessie laughed
"OK children play times over." Shane sighed as they approached a large metallic building. They walked threw the double doors, and down a hallway, to a door close to the end. They filed threw into a large room.
Good morning. Came the thought-speak voice of their teacher Derinamo-Seliphra-Zantire
"How are you today Derin?" Shane asked the Andalite as the group sat on mats on the floor.
[I am well.] Was the teachers reply [Thank you for asking.]
"Suck up." Zeek faked a cough and Jace could hardly keep from smiling when Shane shot an evil look at Zeek.
Without warning Derin's tailblade flashed at Zeek's neck. Zeek froze in fear as the tail blade came within inches of his neck. The tail blade then as quick as lightning retracted and headed for Shane's chest, Shane just as quickly rolled out of the way, the deadly blade cutting threw the air were he had been.
[Those who joke, will die laughing and not no what killed them.] Derin said pulling his tail blade back into a relaxed position. [Those who listen will live a long time after those who joke are dead.]
Zeek hung his head low, thinking about the teachers words.
Shane sat back next to Jessie. He looked calm and collected like usual but his dark brown eyes smiled as Shane got reprimanded.
"So are you saying we shouldn't have a sense of humor?" Jace asked
[There is a time for humor and there is a time to be serious. Each is important. This is a time of learning, it is a time to be serious.] The teacher replied
They all nodded in agreement.
Chapter 2
"GO!" Jessie yelled. Shane, Jace, and Zeek immediately started morphing. Each at a different pace. But all considered fast by Animorph standards. The first notable change on Shane was his skinned turned black and began to sprout fur. Jace quickly became a mess of feathers and shrunk. Zeek's eyes changed first, turning to pools of purple ink and then the rest of his face changed. In under 60 seconds they were all completely morphed into battle mode.
"Shaved 3 seconds of the last time." Jessie told them
[Only three?] Zeek groaned [Were never going to make twenty seconds..]
"Yeah you will." Jessie assured
[Like you would know. You've never been over 30 seconds.] Jace replied
[You know that's not true.] Shane said in her defence
[Fine but she's never been as slow as us.] The wolf like creature that Jace had morphed snarled at Shane.
[You want to play, dog boy?] Shane challenged in what almost looked like a panther morph except with bright yellow markings on the face.
[you couldn't handle me, kitty cat.]
"Enough guys, we are practicing morphing, not fighting amongst ourselves." Jessie said
[I could take you out with one paw tied behind my back.] Shane replied ignoring her
[I'd like to see you try.] Jace scoffed
Shane pounced suddenly on Jace. Jace's morph was smaller and faster though, he easily dodged. Shane quickly attacked again this time launching himself into Jace's side and knocking him over.
"Guys don't make me break you up.." Jessie looked on helplessly
[I think your going to have to break em up.] Zeek said from his perch in the above tree. His morph was a little bigger then a bald-eagle, but the bird was a red color with a black speckled head.
Jace had recovered from the hit and was now on top of Shane digging his teeth into him. Shane countered by rolling over trapping Jace between the ground and his back.
"Fine." Jessie sighed morphing into an animal similar to Shane's except it had blue markings on the face. [Get off him, Shane.] she said grabbing the back of Shane's neck with her teeth and literally pulling him off Jace. [He deserved it.] Shane replied pulling away from her teeth
[You can get up know Jace, it's safe.] Jessie said to him as he scrambled to his feet
[I would hardly call it safe.] Jace replied [And why'd you have to break us up, I had him just were I wanted him.]
[Yeah rite.] Jessie laughed
[I wanted to finish him off, now looks like I'm going to have to take my vengeance out on you.] Jace said getting ready to jump.
[Woah, don't you dare.] Shane said stepping between Jace and Jessie.
[Protecting your mate?] Zeek asked from his perch in the tree
[You want to come down here and say that?] Shane replied
[You touched a nerve.] Jace laughed
[Shut up.] Was the only reply that Shane could come up with. If you could have actually saw his face it would have been red.
The sound of bells could be heard in the distance.
[Lunch time!] Zeek and Jace yelled in unison and immediately began demorphing.
[They only listen to that stupid bell..] Jessie sighed
"You got that rite." Zeek said jumping out of the tree and nearly landing on Jace. They both raced back to the camp.
"Hurry up you guys!" Jace yelled back to them.
[You'd think they were little kids.] Shane said so only Jessie could hear
[They are, at heart.] She replied and then turned and swatted Shane in the face [I could have taken Jace, without your help.
[I know.] Shane replied and even in morph she could see the smile in his eyes [But what kind of guy would I be to let someone pick on a girl?]
[A regular one.] Jessie laughed as she demorphed.
[Nobody ever said I was normal.] Shane replied demorphing also.
After they had finished demorphing they walked back to camp, to meet up with Zeek and Jace.
Chapter 3
"Hey did you guys hear the news?" Zeek asked as he burst threw the door later that night. "That we get to go out on the field tomorrow? Yeah we heard." Jace replied a little less excited then Zeek.
"O come on guys you can't tell me your not excited." Zeek questioned unbelievingly
"We are, but we are more reserved about it then most people." Shane smiled laying on his bed
"You liar, you practically fell over when you heard the news." Jessie said sitting on the floor leaning against Shane's bed. She had snuck out of her bunker to talk to them all about it.
"Your not suppose to tell him that." Shane said messing up her short blonde hair.
"How come I'm always the last to know these things?" Zeek asks flopping down on his bed
"Because your not as important as the rest of us." Jace yawned in reply
"That's a crock." Zeek retorted
"Zeek's rite, after all if we didn't have him, who would we pick on?" Shane laughed
"So anybody know why all the sudden we get to go into battle?" Jessie asked "No." Jace replied
"Yeah, we thought since it was your dad you'd know." Shane added
"Well I don't. Sorry to break your bubble, but I don't have a clue why we are going." Jessie shrugged
"With our luck they'll want us to clean up the camp.." Jace sighed
"Thinking negative will bring negative results." Shane quoted one of Derin's sayings
"Thank you for that insite teachers pet."
"Shut up Jace." Jessie said
"Make me, Jessie." Jace replied in a whiny voice
"I will." she replied standing up, and grabbing one edge of the cot he was laying on, and gave it a hard tug. sending him rolling onto the floor.
"Ok, Come here!" Jace yelled getting up. He lunged over the bed at her, but she dodged him easily.
"Calm down Jace." Shane said getting up, once again blocking his path to Jessie.
"Oh so now your going to hide behind your boyfriend!" Jace taunted
Jessie pushed Shane aside and walked up to face Jace.
"Say that again."
"I said now your going to go hide behind your boyfriend." Jace repeated
She reached up her left hand to slap him but he grabbed it in midair. She then quickly punched him in the gut with her right hand before he new what was happening. He staggered a little, more from the shock of getting hit then pain. When he recovered he swung his hand in an attempt to slap her across the face, but his hand was caught by Shane's.
"You never hit a girl." Shane said throwing Jace's hand down.
"She hit me first!" Jace yelled
"You shouldn't have made her mad." Shane replied then turned to Jessie "I think it's time for you to head back to your bunker."
"Your probably rite." Jessie said and headed to the door. "Good night guys." She smiled as she walked out the door.
Jace mumbled a few choice words and laid back down in his bed. Shane said nothing to him he just turned out the light and laid in his own bed. The room was silent for awhile, and slowly the tension in the room faded into the quiet serenes of the night.
Chapter 4
They were already awake before Dave came with their wake up call. Zeek, Jace, and Shane were all packed and ready to go. There was a light drizzle coming down as they stepped outside their bunker. They were to report to Derin before they left. When the three entered the room Jessie was already there. She had been going threw one last session with her teacher. She finished demorphing and smiled at them.
[Do you believe you are ready for this?] Derin asked the small group
"Yeah I know I am." Zeek said he could barley contain his excitement
"Those Yeerks don't stand a chance!" Jace added with almost equal enthusiasm
"I'm ready as I'll ever be." Shane said keeping his calm composure
[And you Jessie?] The teacher asked after she hadn't replied rite away
"It seems to me we will never be ready." she said after thinking a moment "Nothing can prepare you for what will happen on the battle field. Nothing will prepare you for the death you will see."
[You are correct.] Derin said approvingly to her, then to the rest [None of you are ready for this. And even if I would have had a life time to prepare you, you still wouldn't have been ready.]
"Can you offer us one last piece of advice before we go?" Shane asked hopefully
[Yes,] Derin became serious [Remember, everything and everyone has a weakens, but you must be smart enough to find that weakens.]
"What is our greatest weakness?" Shane asked
[Each other.] He replied [When one of you dies, a small part of all of you will die. This is your greatest weakness. But it is also your greatest strength. You have each other, and can depend on that fact, no matter what. If you trust each other with your pain as well as your joy, it will make all of you even stronger. Never forget this fact, that others are what give you hope, and without hope your soul will die, slowly. Always have someone you can trust in, for that is the person that will keep you from this death.]
"Thank you for all you have taught us." Zeek said, you could see his eyes getting watery
"And thanks for putting up with us." Jace added putting his arm around Zeek's shoulder.
"We'll never forget what you've taught us." Shane smiled a sad smile
"And we will see you again." Jessie finished.
They quickly gathered up there things and headed out the door without another word. But somehow they all new that they would probably never see Derinamo-Seliphra-Zantire, their teacher, mentor, and friend, again...
Chapter 5
The ride to the station was long and silent. Even thought they were excited a sadness, an almost regret, hung over their heads. They were to get onto a space shuttle and fly to the nearest planet plagued that was at war with the Yeerks. The planet was only known by a code number 582662. It was one of the last fighting the Yeerk invasion. Once it was conquered the Yeerks would head to the next closest planet. Which was Crimea. Jace, Shane, Zeek, and Jessie's home. They new why they had been the only ones from the camp to go. They were the only four in their camp of over 4000 that could morph. They were among the very few to be born with the morphing power. And as soon as they had discovered their powers they had been trained, in every art. Morphing, magic, healing, weapons, espionage, code breaking, computer hacking, just to name a few. Of course not all of them had figured it out rite away. Jace had discovered he could morph at the age of 7, he had been trying to imagine himself as his pet snake, and had suddenly changed into one. Zeek had found out when he was 6, he was riding a horse and after getting off he had wondered what it would have been like to have been one. Shane was close to 5 when he figured it out, his dad had been caring him on his shoulders and Shane wondered what it would be like to be that big and old. Jessie hadn't figured it out herself. When she was 6 months old her father had , her and her older brothers DNA examined. Somehow against the odds of 600,000,000 to 1, each had come into the world with the ability to morph. She had been trained since she could walk and talk. So now as they all sat there each between 13 and 14, they wondered who would get to play leader. They had debated this earlier in the day, about who was most qualified. But when it came down to it Shane and Jessie were to most likely candidates. Jessie because of her experience and Shane because of his ability to stay calm in a bad situation.
To break the silence Zeek started the debate again.
"I think Jessie's going to lead." He said to Jace "After all she has the experience."
"No, your all wrong Shane is going to lead because he's a natural." Jace replied gladly breaking the silence. The two argued. Compared. Argued some more. While Jessie and Shane listened.
"Guys we are suppose to meet up with another group of Morphers." Jessie finally broke in. "There's bowned to be someone else that could be the leader of the entire group."
"Nah." Zeek smiled.
"Hey how many are suppose to be in the other group?" Jace asked curiously
"I think three." Jessie replied "Two more guys and another girl. But I'm not completely positive."
"Well, guess it will be nice to meet some more people like us. And Jessie will finally have a girl to talk to about girlie things." Zeek laughed
"Get a life Zeek." She replied kicking him in the shin.
"Ouch!" he yelled "That was very lady like."
"Nobody ever said she was." Jace commented pulling his shins out of striking distance.
"You guys act like you don't like me." she faked a frown "Frankly I'm hurt."
"Their to dumb to know what they like." Shane said putting his arm around her shoulder.
"No we no what we like, we just don't broadcast it like you Shane." Zeek laughed
Shane blushed and took his arm off Jessie's shoulder. They all laughed along with Zeek.
Chapter 6
"Woohoo! I call top bunk!" Zeek yelled running into their room.
"Not if I get their first!" Jace came running in after him
They had a shoving fight and finally Jace over powered Zeek, knocking him off the top and on to the floor.
"Fine, I didn't want it anyway." He said tossing his stuff onto the bottom bunk.
They had just arrived on the shuttle, and had been assigned quarters. Their were 6 bunks in all in the room. They'd be shareing with the two other morphers that were coming, who had already clamed their bunks. Shane walked in followed by Jessie.
"You two are so childish." Shane sighed
"So, does that bother you?" Zeek asked with faked confusion
"Yeah we don't want these other guys thinking we are a bunch of idiots." Shane replied
"Oh, lighten up Shane." Jessie said "Their going to find out Zeek and Jace are idiots eventually." "Thanks Jessie, I think." Jace said scratching his head "Well I better go unpack," Jessie smiled "I'll catch you guys at the cafeteria in about half an hour, ok?"
"What your not going to give me a good bye kiss?" Zeek asked puckering up
"Sorry Zeek," Jessie laughed "not in your life time."
"Well at least a hug?" He begged
"You can live without me for half an hour." She said walking out the door.
"Be carful Zeek," Jace said one Jessie was gone. "Shane will kick your butt if you start making moves on his girl."
"She's not my girl." Shane said throwing his stuff on a bunk just across from Zeek's.
"Well, then you guys are REALLY good friends." Zeek laughed
"I'm going to take a shower." Shane said heading to the bathroom.
"Better make it a cold one!" Jace yelled as he shut the door.
"OK, so what are we going to do for half an hour?" Zeek wondered out loud
"Go have some fun." Jace grinned a devilish grin "Let's go see if we can find the other Morphers, and introduce ourselves."
"My thoughts exactly." Zeek smiled and they both headed out.
They walked down several corridors. The ship was one of the biggest shuttles ever built. It wasn't just for transporting soldiers, it was also to train them. Their was a cafeteria with seating room for over 1000, a regular gym, swimming pool, flight simulator, and VR-Gym. The VR-Gym was one of the most popular parts of the ship. In it soldiers could load programs and simulate what it would be like to be on the battle fronts. They were headed to the regular gym. Someone had tipped them off that the others were there practicing battle morphs.
Zeek and Jace quietly approached the double doors leading into the gym. They looked threw the window, and sure enough their was a group of kids about their age demorphing. Two guys and a girl, just like Jessie had thought. They snuck in without being noticed, and walked over to were the 3 had left their gym bags.
Jace shot Zeek a mischievous glance and began to morph. Quickly he shrunk in size. He sprouted tiny hairs. His arms turned into long hairy legs. He grew two more sets of legs. Soon he was a full grown tarantula. Zeek picked him up and stuck him in what he assumed was the girl's bag. He was about to start morphing to a snake when one of the boys saw him.
"Hey, what are you doing?" the guy yelled to him
"Me? Nothing." Zeek said walking over to the group
"Sure," the girl said smiling at Zeek "You don't look very innocent."
"I'm as innocent as the day I was born." Zeek grinned a big cheesy grin
"What's your name?" The other guy asked
"Ezekiel," Zeek replied. "But everyone calls me Zeek."
"Oh, your one of the guys we are suppose to team up with." One guy said
"Yeah, that's why I was down here." Zeek lied "I wanted to meet you all."
"I'm so sure. " The girl smiled
"Well, any who, it's nice to meet you Zeek." One of the guys said shaking his hand "My name is Luke, and this is Brandon." he introduced the other guy
"Don't call me that though." Brandon said making a face. "I hate it. Just call me Brad."
"I know what you mean. I hate the name Ezekiel." Zeek replied then turned to the girl. "And who is this lovely lady?" Hopefully he wasn't flirting with Brad's girlfriend, because Brad was a lot bigger then him.
"I'm Cally." she said.
"Well I'm delighted to-" Zeek was cut off by Jace's thought speech
[Zeek what's going on?]
"What's wrong?" Luke asked
"Wrong? Nothing is wrong." Zeek managed to say.
[Yo Zeek..] Jace's voice was sounding annoyed [Where are you? If I don't get an answer or some kind of sign I'm demorphing..]
"Uh.. guys want to meet my friends?" Zeek asked heading backed tworeds their gym bags.
"Sure." Luke replied walking over and picking his up. Brad did the same. But before Cally could pick her's up Zeek had grabbed it.
"Let me carry this for you madam." Zeek said with his best French ascent. He gave the bag a hard shake.
[OK, I'll take that as a "no I should not demorph kind of sign.]
Zeek let out a sigh of relief.
[When it's safe to demorph shake the bag again. But not so hard next time... There are books in here and the last time you shook it one of them almost smashed me!]
They walked back twored the guys quarters.
"Stop for a second." Cally said taking the bag from Zeek. "I want to put this back in my room."
She hit a switch on the front and the door slid open. The room looked just like the guys, same amount of bunks, but this one was only being occupied by Cally and Jessie. Jessie was laying on one of the top bunks reading.
"Hey Zeek." She said when she saw him. "Looks like you made some new friends."
"Yeah, Jessie I'd like you to meet Luke, Brad, and Cally. Guys this is Jessie." he said worried that Cally would shake the bag and Jace would demorph.
"Nice to meet you all." Jessie said jumping down off her bunk, then noticed Jace was with them. "Zeek where is Jace?"
"I don't know." He said and made a motion tworeds Cally's bag with his eyes.
"Oh, I see." She said smiling. "Here Cally I'll throw that up on your bunk."
"Thanks." Cally said handing the bag to her.
Jessie swung it up onto one of the bunks, and it landed with a thud.
'Oh no...' Zeek said to himself
[What the heck was that?!? Came Jace's freaked out voice [I said shake it not THROW it!]
"I think we should get going." Zeek said hoping everyone would agree. And they would have..
"What's your hurry Zeek." Jessie said she could see he wanted to leave, she could hardly keep from laughing.
"Because Shane will be wondering were I am." He said glancing up at the bag. He saw the spider slowly sneak out of it and onto the bunk.
"Mabey your rite." Jessie said following his glance. Jace had started to demorph. Without anyone noticing Jace, they managed to get out the door.
On there way to see Shane Jessie shoved her elbow into Zeek's side and said so he could only hear. "That was stupid."
"It would have been funny if it would have worked." he replied
They met up with Shane and all headed to the cafeteria. Jace walking in a few minutes after they had all set down at a table.
"Were have you been?" Jessie smiled knowingly
"Just exploring the ship." He said pulling another chair up to the table and then changed the subject "Is anybody going to introduce me?"
"Guys this is Jace." Zeek sighed "Jace these are the other morphers."
"Oh yeah that really helps." Jace said shoving Zeek. "It might be better if I knew their names.
"OK, fine." Zeek laughed "Jace this is, Cally, Brad, and Luke."
"There was that so hard?"
"Yeah it almost killed me." Zeek pretended to pass out.
"Shouldn't do that Zeek." Shane commented
"Why not?" He asked his head laying on the table and his eyes closed
"Because something like this could happen." Brad dumped a glass of water on Zeek's head.
"Gawd!!" Zeek yelled standing up "That was freaking cold!"
"Serves you rite." Luke slapped Brad a high five.
"Hey I like these guys already." Jace laughed as Zeek shook his head spraying water all over everyone.
Chapter 7
The next day on the ship, training started. All seven had to attend classes in final preparation for the battle. First up was a speed morphing class. It was similar to the one Derin had taught but with a different teacher.
[Everyone's morph time is excellent.] Calon-Misthan-Serane commented after everyone had morphed and demorphed several times. [And your endurance is very good. But how long is your morph time?]
"Two hours." Shane spoke for the rest of the group
[That will not do... You need more time then that.] Calon replied [There is a way to lengthen your morph time. But it is dangerous.]
"Danger's my middle name." Brad stuck his chest out "What do we have to do?"[p] [You have to stay in morph for over two hours.]
"OK.. wouldn't that just keep us stuck in morph?" Zeek questioned
[Ah, in some cases yes. But I don't think any of you would.]
"May I asked what evidence you have to back this up?" Zeek again
[I have worked with your species before. And I have had students before that had the two hour morph time.] Colan explained [I preformed a test, accidentally. I had three of my students morph their favorite battle morphs so they could train, and told them that I would tell them when it was getting close to their limit. But when it came to the two hour mark, I had forgotten to tell them it was time to demorph.]
"Is there anyway we can switch teachers?" Cally whispered to Zeek
[By the time I realized my mistake, they were approaching the three hour mark. But I didn't want to panic them so I told them it was time to demorph, like they still had plenty of time left. It took them a little longer then usual but they all demorphed.]
"How the heck is that possible?" Jace asked
[I am not sure. But I do believe it was because they weren't worrying about the time limit. They had forgotten about it, therefore it didn't exist.]
"So what your saying is, if we don't worry about getting stuck as a cockroach, then we won't?" Luke looked a little puzzled.
[Yes putting it simply.]
"So we can have infinite morphing time as long as we don't worry about it?"
[No. One of my students tried that, he stayed in a morph for nearly 6 hours, and never even thought of his time limit. And now he is stuck like that.]
"I don't get it." Shane said scratching his head
[To lengthen your morph times, you have to gradually exceed your limit.]
"I think I understand." Jessie spoke up "We have to take it slow, like every time we morph we go over by say an hour. Until we can demorph as fast as used to be able to, then we add another hour onto that."
[Yes, that is what I said.]
"Could of fooled me." Zeek mumbled
"So how long would it take us to add say another two hours to our morph times?" Shane asked
[It depends on your skill in morphing now.] Colan replied [Most of you it would take several weeks to extend your time to two more hours. Though, for Jessie and Luke it would only take about a week.]
While they were practicing morphing, they had discovered Jessie and Luke had close to the same morph and demorph time, Jessie being a few seconds faster.
"Cool, so when do we get started?" Brad asked
[In our next class together.] Colan replied [Rite know it is time for you to go to your next class.]
Chapter 8
"Heads up!" Shane yelled as he threw a ball of energy at Brad
Brad ducked and rolled as the ball flew past, and hit Zeek in the face.
"That had to hurt.." Jace commented walking over to Zeek who was know laying face down on the floor, his hand holding his face.
"Yeah it hurt you idiot!" Zeek yelled in reply kicking Jace's knee which brought him down to the floor.
"OK, Zeek." Jessie said helping him up. "Don't take it out on Jace, he's going to get hit sooner or later."
"That's what you think." Jace smiled confidently "I'm to good to get hit." The ball of energy came around again, Jace sidestepped letting it pass with ease. "See?"
"Watch your back!" Luke yelled suddenly as a similar ball of energy plowed into Jace's back, knocking him on his face.
"Ok, who threw that?!?" Jace demanded climbing to his feet and rubbing his back.
"I did." Cally grinned. "You shouldn't get cocky Jace."
"I'll show you cocky." Jace mumbled, as he closed his eyes and concentrated. A basketball sized sphere of energy formed in his hands. "Cally. Catch." He said launching the hard ball at her. She dived but to late. It nailed her shoulder. The cracking of the bone could be heard as she hit the ground.
"Jace you freak!" Zeek yelled running over to her, forgetting his own bleeding nose.
"She new I'd do it." Jace replied like he didn't care.
"Your going to get it for that." Brad said grabbing a hold of Jace's shirt and lifting him a foot or so off the ground. Just recently had Jace, Jessie, Zeek, and Shane found out that Cally and Brad were brother and sister.
"Woah!" Jessie said grabbing a hold of Brad's arm, "Don't do anything you'll regret Brad."
"I won't regret it." Brad said and gave Jace a hard shake.
"Put him down." Jessie said "The last thing we need is to be fighting amongst ourselves."
Brad shook Jace one more time before sitting him down, and then heading over to Cally.
"You are going to apologize Jace." Jessie said sounding really annoyed with him
"Fine." Jace rolled his eyes "Only 'cus you got him to let go of me though."
He apologized to Cally before she headed to the Med Room with Brad and Zeek. They all decided to not to do anymore speed training. They broke off into their own groups and headed there different ways. Luke headed over to the Med Room to check on Cally. Jace said he was going to go back to the room and take a nap. That left Shane and Jessie. They decided just to walk the ship for a while.
~TBC~
Yes I know it's pretty boring at the moment. But I'm getting the different characters introduced, and trying to show their personalities a little. Part 2 will be a little more exciting because they will finally be arriving in the war zone and getting into battles. And then we get into the real fun stuff with the next part in the series, New Beginnings, which I can't say anything about or it will spoil the whole thing :)
