Thanks for the reviews. What the X.M.A. stands for will be revieled near the end of the story. But you can keep on guessing.

An Invitation

Yumi said good-bye to Ulrich and gave him a short kiss before she left. Odd was busy watching the TV that he had bought for their room. The news was on again.

"Look at this, three more people killed and this time one was a girl. Check it out the song that was being played at her house was Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheep by AC/DC," said Odd.

"So," said Ulrich.

"Well the song is about sex so I'm guessing this guy raped her before she was killed," said Odd.

"Odd can you please turn that off," said Ulrich.

"Fine," said Odd.

Then a note slipped under their door.

"Very funny Sissi," said Ulrich.

He opened the door to see no one. He opened up the note and read it.

Dear Sir or Madam:

This invitation has been sent to you by Sir. You have been chosen to complete a training program to qualify for his squad of elite warriors. If you so choose to accept this offer go to the limousine that will arrive outside your school in one hour. If you so choose to decline this offer then master Sir will understand.

From,

X.M.A.

'What the hell,' Ulrich thought.

"What is it?" asked Odd.

Ulrich crumbled up the note and tossed it into the trash.

"Oh it was Sissi trying to ask me out again," said Ulrich.

"Man even though you and Yumi have been going out for four years now she is still persistent on breaking you two apart," said Odd.

"Yeah, and I guess she'll never learn," said Ulrich.

"You got that right, well I'm off to meet Mandy, we are going to a club tonight," said Odd.

"Ok, you go have fun," said Ulrich.

"Hey you and Yumi should come to," said Odd.

"No, what if that killer is still out there looking for me," said Ulrich.

"I can't wait for you stop being so paranoid and get your life back together," said Odd.

He left the room. Ulrich waited on hour and then snuck out of the building. He wanted to see what this X.M.A. was. Just as the letter said there was a limousine waiting outside the schoolyard entrance. He went up to the limmo and the door opened. He got in to see three people. One he recognized.

"Theo," said Ulrich.

"I'm glad you decided to join us," said Reika.

"Who are you?" asked Ulrich.

Reika knocks on the window separating the driver from them. The door shuts and the limmo drives off.

"You have been selected by Sir to join our clan. My name is Reika, this is Max and I see you know Theo," said Reika.

"So what are you guys exactly?" asked Ulrich.

"Well we are a rebellion against society, and we seek revenge," said Reika.

When Ulrich heard Reika mention revenge he started to listen closer.

"You see we are battling society and a fellow gang, but our numbers are small and we need more people," said Reika.

"So what do you guys do exactly?" asked Ulrich.

"We setup ways to kill our opposing gang members that have caused or will cause our operations harm. And we have the person who killed your family marked as your first kill," said Reika.

"But first you need training," said Max.

The limmo pulled up to the warehouse and entered it. Ulrich got out to see an awesome site. Outside the warehouse looked like a dump but inside it was the opposite. Crates of weapons were line up across one wall and they were all labeled. He saw Sniper rifles, Machine guns, pistols, SMG's, knives, swords, grenades, rocket launchers, and there were many more. Also they had an assortment of vehicles.

"Wow, this place is awesome," said Ulrich.

"Glad you like it, now here take this Uzi and follow me," said Max.

"Where are we going?" asked Ulrich.

"Shooting range," said Max.

Ulrich and Max walk outside and he sees what seems to be a maze in a huge ditch that was dug out.

"You will have five minutes to find your way through the maze. You must also kill at least ten simulation guards with one round," said Max.

"One round?" asked Ulrich.

"Just get in there," said Max as he pushes Ulrich into the ditch. He starts the timer, "GO!"

Ulrich went into the maze and started to walk around the passageways. He eventually got to apart where he could see the exit. It was one long passage with no simulation guards or anything. So he took the easy way out.

'He's taking the easy way well at least he had a good life, no good ever comes from taking the easy way out,' thought Max as he smirked.

Ulrich ran down the passage and as soon as he passed three intersections he heard shots come from behind him. He moved into another passageway and looked back to see two simulation guards coming at him. They were more like robots than what he thought. He thought they would be cardboard people. Then a bullet nicked his shoulder. He clutched it and then looked in front of him to see another simulation guard. He took out his Uzi and shot at it. The guard fell after taking a short burst of bullets. He then turned the corner and faced the other two guards. With two more short bursts the other two guards fell and he ran through the passageway he neared the end when six more guards came his way. He killed off three with the rest of his bullets and then hid behind a wall that stuck out. To his convenience there was a long piped in the corner. He grabbed it and charged at the guards. He got rid of two more guards before a shot to the knee brought him down. The simulation guard then came up to him and pressed the gun to the back of his head and pulled the trigger.

A cliffy, he he, man I'm evil.
