Hey all its Vantage77 with chapter 2 a small warning in advance, most of this chapter is character description but it has to happen at some point so might as well try and get most of it out of the way now. So with that said here is chapter 2.
Chapter 2- Introductions
Through the classroom door stepped four creatures that where bipedal, where mostly, hairless except for some on top of their head, and had no snouts or tails. The four beings walked to the front of the room where they stood just behind General Peppy. "Everyone meet Shadow team the first humans to attend a Lylat academy in…ever actually." The general said as he waited for a response from the class.
"…" The class didn't make a sound as they all sat with their muzzles hanging open in silent shock. Peppy couldn't help but sweat drop at the class's reaction.
"Any way Commander Reaper here…" The general gestured to one human who stepped forward to stand beside the General "is also working as a liaison for the Venom Defense Force so expect to see him around more often than his squadron mates. Now that that has been settled I believe it is time for myself and the media in the back to leave and let you get on with class." The general finished as he made his way out of the room along with a still shocked media whose minds couldn't quite comprehend what just happened. As they were leaving the four humans in front of the class made their way to the open seats in the class.
As the students came out of their stupor and began muttering to each other Mr. Burner stepped to the front of the class to address them. "Now that that is done how about we introduce ourselves to each other?" the old Doberman began before looking at the student sitting in the in the front left of the class. "You first please state you name and reasons for attending the academy."
: With Fox:
Fox was too busy listening to his friends' worried whispers to hear the first student introduce himself.
"Whoa can you believe it, real breathing humans." Bill said from his seat on the right of Fox, in an excited whisper and eyes alight with excitement as he leaned to the side so his friend could hear him.
"Yea I know, I wonder where you think they came from." Krystal whispered in reply from Fox's left.
"I'm less concerned about where they came from and more about what are they doing here." Falco added casting a suspicious glance at the one identified as Reaper who sat in the very far back left of the room. "Remember, they were at war with us before they disappeared. They may be here to spy on us or sabotage us. Oh… they could even be here to try and take out the students here; I mean this school is a pretty good target with all of the best pilots attending." Falco said as he convinced himself that the humans had come to do just that. "We should get one when he's alone and… question him." Falco said unaware that another of the humans that sat behind him had heard everything and was relating it to his teammates via tapping his fingernails on the desk in a pattern known to humans as Morris code.
Before Fox could reply he noticed the teacher giving them a look that translated to "Shut the fuck up" which he did along with his team. Fox instead returned his attention to the student that was introducing herself. The student in question was an artic vixen that stood at 5'10 with all white fur, as was typical for her species with light blue tips at the ends of her ears, tail, muzzle, legs, arms, and chest. Her tail was rather slender and was currently being held close to her right leg which was likely due to her nerves at speaking in front of the class. She wore a dark blue long sleeved turtleneck which worked well in bringing out her violet eyes. She also wore a silver necklace in the shape of a snowflake and black tight pants that complemented her shapely long legs.
"M-my name is Fate, Fate Sapphire. I'm currently a soldier in the Cornerian Military and am attending because I wish to fly in combat." The vixen said in a voice that showed she was slightly nervous about speaking in front of others.
Mr. Burner nodded to Fate who sat back down as wolf that sat to her right and to the left of Krystal stood. The female wolf stood at 6'0 and had completely black fur that resembled a black hole; however this seemed to help bring out her dark blue eyes that seemed to have a luminescent glow to them and seemed to challenge those that fell under their gaze. She had an hour glass figure that other females would kill for but also was well toned hinting at a lifestyle that involved regular physical training. She wore blue jeans and a grey shirt under a silver vest.
"My name is Ashley Vulama also a member of the Cornerian Military, I am the last living member of the Vulama family and am attending this academy because the Cornerian Military won't let females get a combat job, which is what I need to be in for me to live up to my family name." The now identified Ashley introduced herself in a voice that held an edge to it that clearly said 'don't mess with me'.
As she sat back down Krystal stood up to introduce herself. "Krystal Cerinia I'm a member of the Star Fox Team and a veteran of the Aparoid war. What you may not know is that I am the last living Cerinian because of Andross' destroying my home world. I am attending the academy to obtain a license in order to continue flying for Star Fox." The blue vixen finished as she sat down.
Fox, seeing that he was next, sat up and introduced himself not that it was needed as everyone and their cousin knew who he was. As fox sat down he tuned out Bill out as he introduced himself in favor of looking over at Krystal who seemed to be glancing to the back of the room. Turning to see what she was looking at he saw that Krystal had been glancing at Reaper who was staring at the vixen with a slight frown as if puzzling over something.
Fox returned his attention to the introductions as a badger, which had gone after Bill sat down and up stood Fox's old rival Wolf. Said wolf leveled a glare at the room before speaking in a challenging voice "The name is Wolf O'Donnell Leader of the mercenary unit Star Wolf. I'm attending this blasted academy in order to obtain a license and look at new recruits for my Team as the old members have retired." Wolf said as he leveled a one eyed glare at the room again before sitting back down in his chair.
After Wolf had gone Miyu stood up, the female lynx stood at 5'11 and had orange fur with black markings that brought out her blue eyes. She had an athletic figure with the long legs of a runner. She wore a blood red sleeveless shirt under a grey trench coat that ended mid-thigh and was unbuttoned with no sleeves. She also wore black jeans that showed off her legs and grey boots. "Names Miyu I'm here to get a pilot's license and join up with either a military or a mercenary unit however I'm seriously considering accepting an offer to join Star Fox." The lynx said in a friendly and playful voice before giving a friendly wave and sitting back down. After Miyu went Falco who stood behind Fox got up and introduced himself as the best pilot in Lylat which was also the point that Fox (and likely most of the class of 20) tuned him out in preference of other things like counting the tiles on the ceiling.
After Falco was done an Artic wolf stood and quite nervously began his introduction "M-my name is Nickolas James Bartlet but everyone calls me Nick." The wolf began.
Fox studied the kid who stood before them quite obviously nervous and maybe a little star struck at being in a room with the Star Fox Team and the infamous Wolf. Nick stood at about 6'3 and had an athletic build under snow white fur that Artic Wolves where known for. He had hazel eyes that Fox couldn't decide if they were blue or green. He wore a brown leather jacket over a navy blue shirt with jeans. He also had a silver wrist watch and a two inch cross necklace, as well as a pair of aviator glasses that hung from his shirt.
Fox finished his examination as Nick continued "I'm attending the academy in the hopes of joining a military to help pay for the debt of taking piloting classes." Nick finished as he sat down sheepishly with his tail and ears lowered from admitting his financial difficulties.
Suddenly the tension in the room went up as the five remaining students who had yet to introduce themselves where the group of humans that sat in the back row. Since it was his turn Reaper stood up and since the class was now not in complete shock from him being human they took in his appearance in more detail.
Reaper stood at 6'1 with a short brown hair and dark brown eyes that where predatory and calculating at the same time. He had pale skin that had a slight tan and had an athletic build meant for speed and agility instead of strength. He wore a long sleeved black and dark grey sweatshirt that had a zipper which was currently zipped up ¾ of the way and a collar that was up. Underneath the sweatshirt was what appeared to be silver under armor that was likely meant to be breathable and not restrict movement. The human also had dark grey cargo pants that where baggy with many pockets and black combat boots. The human also had on a black hat (baseball hat) that had a VDF (short for Venom Defense Force) in silver letters on the front.
"I am the Commander of Venoms' 52nd Division 7th Fighter Group and leader of Shadow Team, call sign Reaper." Reaper stated in an authoritative voice. "I am one of six other humans attending this academy two of which are not in this class. As well as one of the representatives of the Venom Defense Force I am also a liaison for the VDF as well as a diplomat for Venom itself. I am attending this academy to screen potential recruits and secure resources for Venom and its military. I have also been recently appointed as a student teacher for one of the Advanced Aerial Combat classes. I hope we can all get along." Reaper finished as he sat down.
"And your real name?" Mr. Burns asked
"I have no other name; I am known only by my call sign Reaper." Reaper replied.
Mr. Burner nodded and looked to the next human in the class. The next human stood at about 5'10 with pale skin dark brown eyes and long snow white hair. He wore a black leather jacket which had a depiction of flames going up the sleeves. Underneath the jacket he wore a grey undershirt that went almost unnoticed because of his red urban camo cargo paints. He also had black leather gloves, and red sunglasses. "I'm Shadow 2, call sign Death which I will also go buy since I don't really trust any of you yet." He said then sat down indicating he was done speaking. The class as a whole sweat dropped and thought as one "That's it?"
The next human stood to introduce himself. "My name is Danial Farren, call sign Rook. I fly number three in Shadow team and am the team's strategist. I hope to learn more about all of you while I'm attending the academy." The human said. This human wore a dark green fur lined jacket with a hood along with a pair of brown camo pants with brown boots. He stood at 6'2 and had a lean build, with lightly tanned skin, short shaggy black hair, and dark blue eyes that regarded the class with a thoughtful expression before sitting back down.
The next human that rose to introduce himself had lightly tanned skin, was 6'1, had long straight black hair that was pulled back into a pony tail, and bright green eyes. He had a scare running down his face from his right eyebrow to his jaw. His muscular build was showed off buy a black leather vest that had Nightmare across the shoulders which was worn over a white wife beater. He also wore a pair of black trousers. His face held a wisecracking grin as he began his introduction "If my jacket didn't make it clear enough the name is Nightmare like what you'll be having in the hospital if you piss me off. I fly number 6 in Shadow team and am the most recent addition to the squadron. I'm attending this academy mostly to kick all your asses then go to a bar and drink myself into oblivion while bragging about it." The now identified Nightmare said in a playful tone "That aside I hope to get to know all of you soon." He said with a pacifying tone once he saw Reaper glare at his introduction.
As Nightmare sat down Mr. Burner strode to the front of the room before addressing the class. "Good now that we all know each other I can tell you about registration. The registration process is rather simple here, what will happen is you will depart from this classroom and join the rest of your school mates in the gym where you will see desks with billboards that will show the class name and a basic course description. You will browse the classes until you see some that interest you. Then you will fill out a registration form that will be on the desk of the class and put it in the bin next to it. You can apply to as many classes as you wish however for many of you who wish to take the fast track to getting a pilot's license you can take the Advanced Aerial Combat class or AAC. Once you are done you may leave the school as today we are dismissing early so the professors can go over those that register and sort them into classes. You will receive a message with your schedule either late today or early tomorrow. If you have special circumstances or don't receive a schedule please see Principle Golding first thing tomorrow."
The teacher looked around the room at the class who looked at him waiting for him to dismiss class with anticipation. "Well what are you waiting for…GET THE HELL OUT OFMY CLASSROOM!" the Doberman bellowed as the class shot up from their seats and ran out to sign up for the best classes except for the humans who all got up casually and walked out giving a nod to the teacher as they walked out the door.
And that's Chapter 2 so hope you all enjoyed the new version of Chapter 2. So tell me what you all thought in a review please no flames…or grammar Nazis.
