What's up, everyone? Here is the next story regarding Raven, or should I say, Cassandra of C Group. Before we get back to Cass

and Clair looking for their sisters, here's an event that takes place shortly after the Predators are commissioned.

The Second Great Turf War

Prologue

(Octo Canyon, two days prior to Agent 3's victory over Octavio)

Commander Sieg stood before DJ Octavio, and the Sector Commanders of Octo Valley, Octo Canyon, and Octo Ravine. They had a meeting

regarding a special group of soldiers. DJ Octavio spoke up first. "Was the project successful?" Sieg nodded. "All seven Predators have shown

exemplary skills in combat and negotiation simulations and one actual combat situation. They are ready for service." Octavio nodded, then asked,

"What encouraged you to create the Predators?"

Sieg faced him. "They all had the chance to become true soldiers wrenched from them by a glitch in each of their tubes. It seemed fair to give

them a second chance." Julia Traeger spoke up. "And what of Cassandra? What measures have you taken to prevent her from reverting back to

what she was before?" Sieg faced her. "Each Predator has a chip implanted into each of their brains, in order to keep their anger under control."

The Sector Commander of Octo Ravine spoke up.

"How soon could they become Elites?" Sieg faced him. "Two months time of official deployment into duty service, perhaps." Octo Valley's

Commander spoke up. "What are their codenames?" Sieg faced her. "Predator-1 is identified as Eagle. Predator-2 is Falcon. Predator-3 is Dove.

Predator-4 is Owl. Predator-5 is Phoenix. Predator-6 is Hawk. Predator-7 is Raven." She nodded, satisfied. Octavio spoke up. "What of their

records?" Sieg revealed them. "All have scored perfect on all of their tests and activities."

Julia Traeger spoke. "What weaknesses do they have?" Sieg faced her. "At this time, there are no weaknesses that we are aware of. The Predators

have not been defeated, even in basic training." She remained stone-faced. "Could they be defeated by Inklings?" He shook his head. "They are

more skilled than you know. Don't underestimate my Predators. But most importantly, don't underestimate... her."

(Octo Gorge, Predator quarters)

Dove spoke to the rest of the Predators. "How soon will we actually be assigned to squads?" Eagle faced her. "Commander Sieg is speaking to the

rest of the Commanders and DJ Octavio about it, but there's no way to know for sure." Falcon spoke up. "If we do, I hope I get assigned to Octo

Valley. I've heard they have good drinks." Hawk lightly smacked his shoulder. "Calm down, soldier. When we're not on duty, you can get wasted,

but not when we have a job to do."

Falcon snorted at him. "Fine, brother." Phoenix spoke up. "I just want to train in their gyms. They've got a bigger supply base than Octo Gorge."

Owl answered her. "I'm looking forward to my medical training. That would be another thing I could be good at." They all faced Raven, who was

leaning against her tube. "Raven, what are you looking forward to?" She faced them. "I know we don't know our real names, and we're not

supposed to, but I wasn't a good person before the Commander chose me." She waited for that to settle in. "I will work to aspire, to become a

better person, no matter how long it takes."

I had to do it. I had to throw in a special chapter for this.
