A few days later...
"Wow, Alex." Heather smiled at me. "You must be improving a lot." "I know!" I smiled. I am visiting Heather at the infirmary. She looks a lot better comparing to last night oh boy was she in pain...bad remark i know. It was hard for her to sit up so I helped her. Thwei went to go and get something to eat. "Are you ready to fight a warrior?" "I don't know honestly." I admitted to her. "You know I could die right?" "Yeah.." Heather looked down. "I don't have to fight honestly since I got my appendix out." "Lucky you." I smiled, shaking my head. "You will be fine, Alex. Remember what Raj'ah, and Rai'eka taught you okay?" I looked at her and nodded. "Thanks girl." I hugged her gently, not wanting to hurt her anymore than she is already. "Alex." We heard a voice coming in. We turned and saw Thwei with two trays of food. "Arbitrator Raj'ah wants to see you in the kehrite room." 'Maybe for my test.' I thought to myself as I got up from the cot and left the infirmary. I walked to the training room and spotted Rai'eka waiting for me. "Just in time, Alex." She smiled at me. "Come on in." I walked in and spotted Raj'ah with a few of the Youngbloods in line. "Alex, perfect timing, I want to test you out so that you can be prepared for when we arrive on Yautja Prime."
It shouldn't be a problem. I am ready for this I'm ready for this... "You will challenge one of the Youngbloods." Oh. Shit. I'm not ready for this I'm not ready for this... It was too late. "I challenge the female ooman." A young warrior with a stripe pattern on his body announced as he stepped forward. No turning back for me that's for sure. Once we went inside the armor room, I grabbed a couple of weapons, a Wrist blade and my favorite, the throwing disks. Once we arrived on the mat, Raj'ah came forward between me and the giant warrior. "This is the battle...battle to the death." What. The. Fuck. I'm going to die? Fuck no, I'm going to do this. Me and the warrior are ready. I focused on my strategy. Beat this sucker. The warrior threw his throwing disk at me, but I was quick and dodged the attack and I threw my throwing disks at him, chopping a dreadlocks off of his head. I saw my throwing disks coming back at me and with a graceful somersault in the air, I caught the disks and landed on my feet. I looked at the warrior and he charged me while I did the same thing. We threw punches after punches until I fell onto the ground. I looked up and the warrior wield his wrist blades at me. I need to think of something or else I'm dead. I looked at his body. I looked for awhile until I saw something that caught my eye. Using my feet, I kicked the warrior near the groin and I swung my leg at his feet, causing him to fall onto his back with a blow. I knocked him down as he was about to get up. I wield my wrist blades and was about to impale him when I saw the look in his eyes. Fear and sadness. "That's enough." Raj'ah said walking up towards us. I got up and put up my blades. I offered the warrior my hand. He just rebuked me, got up and left the room. I looked at him with sadness while Raj'ah placed his hands on my shoulders. "Well done, Alex." I didn't feel like having a compliment coming to me. I just shrugged my shoulders and walked off. Raj'ah and Rai'eka looked at each other in confusion. "What's wrong with her?" Rai'eka asked. "I don't know."
I went into my room, discarding the weapons onto the dresser. I laid in bed thinking, I have to kill the warrior? I heard of playing a game that involves beating an opponent, defeating an opponent is one thing, but killing an opponent, that's barbaric. I got up and felt my stomach growling. 'Time to eat.' I thought to myself and left the room. I was just about to enter the mess room when someone pushed me against the wall. "You are a worthless Loudti-Kale!" I looked up and saw a female Yautja with a few of her friends as well. "You can't kill a simple warrior? What kind of warrior are you?" I didn't want to fight. I wished I could have stayed in my room. The female placed her hand on my shoulder and shoved me. Again, I didn't want to fight this, but learning from Raj'ah and Rai'eka, that movement means that they want to challenge you. The female kept going until I placed my hand on her shoulder and shoved her. The females clicked and growled at this challenge. They grabbed me and took me to the Kehrite room. "This Ooman is a hand on hand combat, no weapons." I nodded a little nervously. When I heard somebody ring the bell, I got into my fighting stance and got ready. The female Yautja ran towards me and I dodged her attack. She turned around and clicked before going at me again. Once more I dodged the attack. "Pathetic Ooman." She growled at me and ran towards me trying to throw punches at me, but I managed to dodged them successfully. I ended up throwing at punch at her. Her skin was very hard I can tell, but I managed to make the female warrior flinch a lot, much to my surprise and shock. She growled and threw a punch at me, hitting me in the face. I growled angrily and used my feet and kicked her in the stomach. This got her very pissed off cause she was growling at me very loudly that she used her claws and slashed my stomach. I backed up, crying out in pain. She cheated! She said no weapons and she used her claws. I looked at her and she threw a punch on my face, sending me off the mat. I moaned in pain, trying to figure out what to do. I looked for her weak spot, and I aimed my attack on her legs, kicking them hard, she fell onto the floor while I got up. I jumped on her and began throwing punches at her until she thrilled hurtfully. I looked at her and my hands. They were turning purple and bleeding pretty bad. The female looked at me as I got up. I waited for her to get up and she did, slowly. She faced me, bleeding from her face and I can tell her tooth mandible was crooked the wrong way. I was ready to fight again when she raised her right arm. I was more than ready for this, but I didn't expect this. She banged her right arm on her chest in respect. I looked at her and the others who did the same thing. "You're good, Loudte-Kale. But more practice and training from my sire." I looked at her in confusion. "Sire?" "Arbitrator Raj'ah is my sire or as you oomans call back on your homeplanet, my father." What? Raj'ah didn't even tell me that he's that female's father, let alone not knowing. I am in shock and confusion. So Raj'ah has been having females around him before me? My heart is starting to crack. "Come, let's get your wounds healed." I nodded and tried to walk, but the female wrapped her arms around my waist and helped me walk to the mat where she had the first aid kit ready.
