"Swan, you're up
"Swan, you're up!"
I looked up at the combat coach. He was wearing a traditional martial arts suit with a black belt tied around his waist. I nodded and stepped forward to stand opposite my opponent.
He was about six feet tall with short black hair and a smug, self-satisfied expression on his face. I laughed to myself. It was another one of those bigheaded prats from Sherlock Team.
We both bowed to each other and then to the combat coach.
"Okay! Se Cha!" (Korean for 'you may begin')
I smacked him in the head with my foot, using a straight spin to get him off balance. It worked. He stumbled backwards. I heard cheers from my team, Ryder Team, from behind me, and saw the shocked expressions on the faces of the Sherlock Team. I grinned; this was going to be easier than I thought.
I waited for the boy to regain his attack. Now he would either be clumsy or mad!
He Was Mad! Yes! That would make it twice as fun. I stood there, waiting for him to attack. He seemed to be waiting for me to do the same. I wouldn't give in. I had to wait. Just…a…bit…longer.
Then he charged, swinging a ten ton axe kick with him. I side stepped easily and cracked him to the head with a powerful turning kick. He fell onto the floor, not unconscious, but a bit confused.
"See Burke, she's perfect!"
"Yes, I know sir, I've got the chemical, but she'll notice. She's not stupid. How on earth do we explain that she's got to have one more jab than the rest?"
"I've already thought of that. Just mix it in with the malaria antibodies. It's quite safe. Now, Burke, you better go and get the Ryder Team. It's time for their new mission briefing!"
I walked back to the changing room with the rest of my team, Lauren, Angela, Mike, Tyler and our team leader Eric. We were talking about our prospects for this year. What missions would we be sent on? Could we finally win the Elite Shield?
I knew that the chances were next to nothing. Our team was rubbish. Not one of them could think on their feet or even plan ahead, except Angela. Angela was probably my only friend on campus. She was kind and very trustworthy.
"Will Ryder Team please report to General Burke's office? Immediately!" A voice rang out of the tannoy.
"Well, that's us," said Eric, edging in the opposite direction, towards General Burke's office.
"Yeah," Angela said, "Lets go."
I knew something was wrong. Nobody ever got a mission this early in the year.
Nobody.
