"You will see a lot of that here, my apprentice," James said sadly as Danny turned from looking at the 14 year old whose whole left arm looked red and burned badly as she was led to the medical bay of the temple.

It was the day right after they had arrived with Tucker and his parents and James was giving his apprentice a tour of the temple. "Huh?"

"Humans fear what they do not understand and that, unfortunately, mean us." James sighed as he extended his arms to point at everyone in the hallway of the temple. "And they destroy that what they do not understand and fear," James stopped and then placed his hand on Danny's shoulder as he looked down at him.

"Some, in fact, many of us here have our marks of banishment from our home towns, our love ones and our former lives. Masters, Padawans, it doesn't matter, Danny. Just do not mention it, many do not want to be reminded what happened."

"Ok, Master," Danny said as the two continued to head towards the mess hall through one of the many hallways in the Alliance Temple.

It wasn't long until they walked through the double doors that showed Danny the huge mess hall that had the same color as the temple and had the same warm feeling that the temple did. There were hundreds of teenagers, kids, and some young adults of all shapes and sizes, sexes, and unique appearances talking, laughing, and smiling while Danny was looking around. There was a huge line on one side of the room where the food was.

Droids seemed to be the ones serving everyone though. Above that was a golden statue with a goddess that seemed to be leading the way for change and next to it was statues of Star Destroyers and some fighters. There was a huge stained window that showed the sun shining down on the planet. There were hundreds of tables around the room and Danny saw someone,

"TUCKER!" James looked over to see Tucker talking with Wade, Shego and Kim. Well, at least they're getting along. James thought as Danny ran over to them. James smiled as he then headed to the lunch line to get some food for him and Danny.

"Danny," Tucker yelled as the two shook hands. "Oh, this is Wade, you know, the Wade of the Computer Geeks," Tucker said as Danny shook hands with Wade. "Nice to meet you," Wade smiled.

"So, you're James's apprentice," A green skinned woman said sitting next to a red head on the other side of the table. Danny face-faulted,

"Does everyone know about that" He asked.

"Nan, kid, but better get uses to it." The green skinned woman said.

"Ok and you would be?" Danny asked.

"Name's Shego, kid" Shego said shaking hands with Danny.

"I'm Kim," The woman next to Shego said.

"Nice to meet you both, I'm Danny" Danny smiled as James came back with two plates of food. One he placed in front of Danny. Danny looked at the pile of food and then at James. "What is this? I can't eat all of this…"

"Yes, you can. Carlson said that you are far too thin for a boy your age and you will want to eat that much when we begin training and the growth hormones treatment."

"Excuse me?" Danny asked. James sighed,

"Have you not noticed that you have remained the same height since the accident or why you haven't had to cut your hair since then?"

"Now that you mention it, yeah," Danny said rubbing the back of his neck.

"How could you not notice that?"

"I might have been too busy with the ghosts to notice," Danny said sheepishly. James sighed,

"Well, I will not force the treatment on you, but it would be better if you do. Being short must be getting annoying now." Danny smirked at that,

"Yeah, I think I will."

"Oh, no," Wade said as James looked at him,

"What?"

"He has the same look in his eyes that you do when you're planning revenge on someone." Shego said.

"Hey, no stealing my look, apprentice, it's mine." James yelled as Danny and Tucker started to laugh.

Soon, Danny stopped and then started to eat some of the food.

"So, when do we start?"

"Training, tomorrow, the treatment will be the day after. Carlson wants you at full strength before we begin." James said as Danny nodded as he heard Tucker and Wade talking.

"No way, Jeremie is here as well?"

"Every last super genius is either here or an ally of the Alliance, Tucker. I'm sure they will welcome you." James smiled.

"Speaking about that, are they the ones who created the Alliance?"

"No, that was Master Kang, the leader of the Alliance. You might be able to meet him if you're lucky…or in my case unlucky, because he only calls me in to yell at me." James chuckled. "What do you mean?" Danny asked.

"I am the supreme Commander of the Grand Army of the Alliance, so usually I'm called in for the more…interesting missions." James smirked.

"And your army is all clones?" Tucker asked as James nodded to agree.

"That must be interesting," Tucker said as Shego shook her head.

"That's what you get for having an army of clones,"

"What do you mean?" Danny asked having heard what Shego had said though she had whispered it to herself. Shego looked at him shocked, but then glared at him and then stood up and walked off. Kim looked at Danny and then sighed and ran after Shego hoping to help her. James sighed at that as Danny looked at him,

"What did I say?" James sighed as he looked at Wade.

"Wade, can you and Tucker leave us for a minute, please."

"Alright, come on, Tucker." Wade said as he and Tucker left the table as James looked at his apprentice.

"You must learn my apprentice. That most of the people here do not want to talk about their past, why they are here, their marks of banishment, which reminds me I will not like when I read the report of that girl we saw in the hallway at all."

"Huh?" Danny asked confused. James sighed,

"I don't have a mark of banishment on me, I am a fighter and the reason I am the Supreme Commander of the army is to make sure that not another of our kind gets their mark," as he looked at Danny.

"But as I was saying, Shego is one who will not speak of her past ever. She dislikes the clone army for a very good reason. She finally told me not that long ago and if you are going to be my apprentice, I should tell you, but you must promise that you will not tell another, ghost, human or alliance member that story." James glared at Danny. Danny nodded with wide eyes knowing that whatever James was about to say was important.

"Alright, then come with me." James said as he stood up. Danny cocked his head at that, but followed him nonetheless.

"Where do you think they're going?"

"I don't know. I know James knows why Shego dislikes the clones, but will not tell anyone about it. I'm guessing he's going to tell Danny." Wade said as Tucker looked at him confused.

"But I doubt Danny will be allowed to tell anyone. Besides there's Jeremie, I'm sure you want to meet him." Wade said as the two walked over to the group.
