Dante and Marxy stand near each other on the training grounds. The trainer was walking up and down spitting demeaning words at everyone. He came to Dante and spat worthless in his face. As the man was about to advance to another Dante stepped out of the line.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZdEnNqHC
MARXY: Dante!
TRAINER: What’s this? You got something to say Mr. Worthless?
DANTE: I do. Not all of us are useless.
Caroline looked at him. She raised her eyebrow.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNU1btVacy
DANTE: Some of us are more valuable to you than you think.
TRAINER: You think that you are valuable? You’re about as valuable as a pot full decaying skunk. How do you like the sound of that?
DANTE: I don’t sir.
TRAINER: Oh boohoo. I hurt the little boy’s feelings.
DANTE: I ain’t no boy sir. No one talks to me like that.
MARXY: Dante, that’s enough.
TRAINER: Oi, you sticking up for this brave young fellow?1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PZSBWQVvB
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoTifHjoh5
Marxy snaps her mouth shut. She gets back in line. The Trainer laughs.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjbHIEnvXM
TRAINER: That is what I thought. You’re so tough son, prove it.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO0o8VxEJ5
He took two blades off his side. He threw one to Dante.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMdtiEHc4F
TRAINER: You prove it to me.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONurrpCtG3
He started to swing at Dante. Dante blocks with ease. The Trainer ups the ante and swings a few more times. Dante blocks the attacks and comes back with a parry. Dante then throws out an array of swift attacks that slice the Trainer’s blade into three small pieces.
The Trainer looks in shock. Dante swings the blade quickly and brings it to his face.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa3iwiZJne
DANTE: En Garde.
TRAINER: Impressive. 10000 push-ups!
DANTE: Yes sir.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwZS532Tli
Dante gets on the ground. Caroline continues to look as Dante gets to 100 without so much as a break of sweat. The Trainer was getting mighty angry.
Dante was at 1000 without a drop of sweat. The Trainer was pulling at his hair. Caroline snickered and he turned to her with a smile. Marxy was laughing without making a sound.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkcJoB3QW2
TRAINER: Finally… You can join him.
CAROLINE: Sir…
TRAINER: You can help him finish his 10000. You too girlie.
MARXY: Fine by me.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5C3WV8cPO
The hours passed. Caroline was sweating badly. They were at 9900. Marxy was tired looking and Dante looked as confident as ever with not a drop of sweat.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iCggXR6ur
MARXY: You can stop showing out now cuz… You’re killing me here.
DANTE: Sorry… but I was doing this in diapers.
CAROLINE: Really, I don’t believe that.
MARXY: His dad thought it was never too early to start training someone in a military career. He was doing push-ups at two.
CAROLINE: Show off.
DANTE: Thanks.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfetuIW5BZ
Dante finished and Marxy and Caroline fell down. The Trainer was red with anger. He walks up to Dante and pokes his finger into Dante’s chest.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbrwgQFFr5
TRAINER: What makes you think that you’re so special?
DANTE: I’m going to end this war.
TRAINER: Oh? You’re going to end this war you think? Why, because you parents died? Let me tell you something, revenge is the first reason men come back in body bags.
DANTE: I’m not out for revenge.
TRAINER: Then why are you here?
DANTE: To end this. It’s because they killed my parents that I’m still here. I don’t want others to feel the same pain I do. My mother told me that revenge is not a course that none in a position as mine should follow.
TRAINER: Why so?1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdQyYg2SIK
DANTE: Because I’ supposed to set an example.
TRAINER: Oh, he thinks he’s better than the rest of you! You all going to take that?
GROUP: No sir.
DANTE: I’m only stating a fact. I don’t think that I’m better than you all. I only want to end this war for the benefit of everyone.
TRAINER: Sure kid. And I’m going to bring my Grammy back from the dead. Bed everyone, I want everyone up at 0300 hours! Move it! Thank Hotshot for that.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32uEiN3tF
Everyone groans. Dante smiles and walks off. Caroline walks beside him.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWEqyApiXB
CAROLINE: Hey, hotshot…
DANTE: Huh?
CAROLINE: You’re going down.
DANTE: What’s that supposed to mean?
CAROLINE: I’m going to get ahead of you, that’s what I mean. Later kid.
DANTE: You’re no older than me…
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFDXAjDFBb
Caroline catches up with Marxy. She was wiping her head with a wet rag.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5CJJq7b2O
CAROLINE: No human could go that long…without water, food, and rest. What is he?
MARXY: As human as me. Don’t try to figure him out. You’ll bust your brain if you do. Night.

MORNING
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7PmWSXiWO
The Trainer stands in front of a tower that reached into the high clouds. There were lines that went to the very top. The group was being led to it. They looked into the sky at the very top and nearly snapped their necks from looking up so far.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzF24t9HSJ
TRAINER: 24 lines for all of you. I expect you all to make it to the top within the week. No food no water.
GUY: What happens if we don’t make it to the top?1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHRNS2JGsr
TRAINER: Means you’re dead meat in the war if you can’t get to the halfway mark. You have one week. Go. And hotshot… you have 3 days.
DANTE: I’ll do it in one.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjcCzzoAC
Dante and everyone take off. The Trainer gets into tower control and sits back. He watches as Dante takes off past everyone.
Behind him was Marxy. She was about 100 feet behind. Behind her was Caroline, about 50 feet behind. The rest…they were far behind.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cSQygZ6iA
TRAINER: What’s up with her?
OFFICER: Who?
TRAINER: The one behind them. She’s not competing with the girl, she’s after the boy. Who is she?
OFFICER: Caroline Doransy. She told us that she is a Cambria, species type II. From her medical log, at least the one we’ve recently created; she is shown to be extremely resilient. He muscle mass is that of a normal female her size but its density is almost 3 times that of a normal Klingon Female.
Her lungs can store oxygen and keep her alive up to 30 minutes without breathing. Her Brain tissue is nearly 8 times more complex than any humanoid’s we’ve ever encountered, even Vulcan.
She nearly invulnerable to any disease on this side of the galaxy. And her endurance is apparently trained.
TRAINER: So it’s not all natural.
OFFICER: Not all of it, but she’s certainly built to take some of our heaviest test.
TRAINER: And these Brassen kids don’t have a third of the muscle density right?1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YiB4Asmm
OFFICER: Um, wrong. Their muscle density leads us to believe that it might be possible for them to lift…nearly ten tons.
TRAINER: That’s impossible.
OFFICER: They can…something keeps them from doing so though. They’re the most advanced humans we’ve ever come across and we’ve gotten some weird ones sir.
TRAINER: Something is funny about that Brassen family. Turn off Caroline’s emergency transporter. As soon as he makes it to the top, bring him to me. You remember Drew right?
OFFICER: Yes sir.
TRAINER: Let’s make sure hotshot isn’t anything like that case; otherwise, I’m recommending he never see a day in battle.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyF8ATiotI
Dante makes it to the top within 10 hours. He grabs the flag with a lot of sweat on his face. He smiles and looks down. Marxy was behind but coming fast. Caroline was 3 quarters the way. She seemed winded.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhSJwuAHrs
DANTE: Looks like it’s going to take a little more than that to catch up with me.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtd5W17ks1
He jumps and he is beamed away. He finds himself near the Trainer. He claps.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVqjbQPx9m
TRAINER: Impressive hotshot. You beat your brother and sisters record by nearly 5 hours.
DANTE: Did I?
TRAINER: Play humble. Sure. Listen, we’re ending the whole thing now and we have an issue. That girl there, her line won’t release and we need to get it cut. As soon as she’s cut down the rest of everyone will be let loose.
DANTE: Nah. Let her finish. She’s more than halfway to the end.
TRAINER: We have more work to do kid. Cut her down, that’s an order.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsOeHdcr7B
Marxy makes it to the top. She laughs and jumps. She is transported to the bottom. Dante is handed a boomerang. He looks at the line and throws the boomerang. It spins at the line and slices it in half.
Caroline screams and she tumbles down. Dante looks back.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnELURmLFzC
TRAINER: The transporter is down!
MARXY: Oh my… Dante!
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tm1PQ4513
Dante was in a dust cloud when she turned. He ran down the rugged terrain. He leaped over a large rock and flipped forward. He started jumping from rock to rock and flips forward a few times.
He knocks a few officers on the ground and leaps off others. He makes it to the bottom. He jumps up and catches Caroline. He falls on his back and she opens her eyes. She looks at him.
He lets out a breath of relief and screams. She gets up quickly.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB1IjuBV0c
CAROLINE: Why are you screaming?
DANTE: My back! Wow. That was something.
CAROLINE: You saved me.
DANTE: Like I was going to let you die. It was in my power to save you.
CAROLINE: What happened?
DANTE: Malfunction.
CAROLINE: I should have died.
DANTE: But you didn’t.
CAROLINE: What are you?
DANTE: Someone about to change the tides of this war. A little help?1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkJh5UTEiF
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAlJF9d4qd
Caroline nods and grabs Dante’s hand. He wraps his arm around her shoulder and they hobble back together.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42hu2ow1Ek
OFFICER: He saved her sir.
TRAINER: A very good sign.

PAST-DREW’S TRAINING PERIOD
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaJPzNXgta
Drew walks to the Trainer with a devilish smile on his face. The Trainer squints at him. The Officer runs to the Trainer.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf52TB0eCb
OFFICER: Sir! One of the lines snapped and the woman is falling!
DREW: My supposed threat? Hmmm. I can get her.
TRAINER: Then get her! Hurry!
DREW: On it.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFYPjqVWxe
Drew takes off. He gets to her in a fancy style that was unnecessary. He stops right at her. He holds out his arms and then snatches them back quickly. The woman hits the ground and he laughs.
The Trainer looks in horror. He takes out his communicator and Drew snatches it from his hand before he realized it.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmzvjz31bj
DREW: No one is talking to anyone. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep to yourselves about this. Have a good day.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vndroGTjK
Drew walks by them. As he does, he grabs a man by his hair and drags him behind him.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0SsppvYB7
DREW: I’m going to play with this one tonight.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDNupPfln7
The Trainer and Officer listened to the screams all night long. They found the man hanging from a ceiling tortured. Drew passed them with a smile on his face.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGun7Cxbjp
DREW: I wonder what happened...
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg99p3pqDo
He continues to walk by. The Trainer and Officer look away from Drew.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrK63A770S
…PRESENT…
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLnQGag9WD
Dante and Marxy spar with each other. Dante is knocked onto the ground and he leaps back to his feet.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AdMr6FoQn
MARXY: You saved her. I thought you were going to miss her. I really did.
DANTE: I wasn’t. I’m better than that Marxy.
MARXY: I know. Sometimes you’re a little too confident in yourself. Do you really think you can end this war?
DANTE: I think I can, with your help Marxy. This has been going on too long. Someone is keeping this war going for as long as they can.
MARXY: (Ducks) And who pray tell would that be? (Punches Dante in the nose)
DANTE: I don’t know but I’m going to find out soon enough.
MARXY: I know.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs709PNZp3C
She kicks him down. He flips back to his feet.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtEORcbQ1k
MARXY: We’ll get him together.
DANTE: Yes we will.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnaNnj4mOE
Caroline sits in her room. Her roommate stares out of the window at Dante.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHCklqMeFP
CADET: Isn’t he gorgeous?
CAROLINE: He’s strange.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU39ehT2I1
CADET: Maybe. Who’s the chick he’s hanging out with?
CAROLINE: He’s cousin.
CADET: I could take a point or from her.
CAROLINE: What’s his angle?
CADET: Why are you so interested in him?
CAROLINE: I don’t know. He’s just caught my eye. Something is off about that man.
CADET: Aren’t they all off? I’m getting some sleep. Stare away. Night.
1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R6sPxUXXe
Caroline nods. She closes the window and lies back. She closes her eyes and drifts into sleep.1184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rFaCloHEz
