Ch.1 Testing
If she took one wrong step the game would be over. She kept this in mind as she dodged and swerved through the bullets and various flying sharp objects. With stealth only a ninja could posses she took a flying leap over the last craggy ravine and managed to land on the other side.
The elders observed this from behind bullet proof glass, obviously impressed with the little one's skills. She had only passed the first obstacle before, her skills were becoming more in tune with age.
She stood and checked her palms and knees...scuffed and bleeding, but otherwise okay. Grabbing her shuriken, she signaled for the next test.
One of the elders punched something into the computer, and she watched as the desert environment shifted into a city setting. The young girl felt an odd feeling hit. It was Junon, the city of filth. She had read about this place in school, but it was real now. She ran low through the alleyways, ducking into the shadows as she went, diving and rolling out of the way of cars. This part was too easy. She tagged the brick wall at the end and gave a thumbs up.
The elders stood impressed. "Maybe that was too easy," one offered, and they all shook their heads. "What the child needs... is something... more challenging..."
She watched, somewhat out of breath, as one of the elders pushed a large button and she screamed as she felt herself falling. There was nothing but dead air around her, and the same ravine from earlier below. Instead of panicking, the young girl reached behind her and pulled the rip cord from her parachute. "Dare they think I'd be so dumb.." she thought as she maneuvered over to the edge of the cliff and pulled herself up.
Her fingers were numb and bleeding but she managed well. "Done for the day," one of the elders announced through the intercom. She simply stared.
There was no emotion behind her dark brown eyes as she threw her shuriken against the glass. There was nothing she could say, or feel. She collapsed to the floor exhausted as the room returned to it's normal, padded self. "We'll be back in a week," the oldest elder informed the girl as they uniformly exited the building.
"Not if I break out of here first," the girl screamed as the lab assistants came in to sedate her and lock her back into her containment cell.
The tiny ninja watched, in her drug-induced state, as her wounds healed themselves. She laughed insanely as she felt herself slipping away, to sleep until the next test. "One day, you'll regret this..."
