"Right,Right …block with the left ,parry with a kick to the sternum" .Now the finish "…I place the bottom of his chin in the fold of my arm lock my wrist a squeeze" Its the quick tap I was going for .its been three days since I've got my name ,and honestly. I like it ,I never liked the whole fruit name thing. Taz has a nice corkiness to it any way,…like I said its been three days .After I got my name I got a bunk, and I got introduced to my pack. It's 6 of us not including me (Nano,jinx,bruno,talen,marble)"The Gammas"…They introduced themselves, they made me feel welcomed ,in a strange way I'm the "Little" brother now. But I can't take anybody light here ,I have to stay on mission first chance I get I need to get information on my siblings and getting out of here , but for now I have to make the most of it and get what information I can .after I got settled I laid down to get some sleep not that I was gonna get any.Maybe 3 hours after laying down I had finally fell asleep. Thats until I feel my body yanked out of my bunk and there's something over my head because there's no lights . Not to long before the cover is removed from my head and I see 3 boys there not men you can tell but there old enough each built the same there probably 16, maybe younger in a deep echo "Time to train you need to earn your you keep which means you need to be fight ready. That little display in the cave was cute ,but that will get you mauled out there you wanna survive show me .no holds barred with the exception of killing ,your goal is to defeat all 3 opponents in 1 on 1 combat you need to beat all 3 by knock out ,Tap out ,or if one of them is rendered unconscious . These boys are well trained, this is going to take time ,and this is going to be painful. you could die ? Show me different ….Now the two boys on the left ,and right stepped away till all that remained was the one in the middle. By now i've adjusted my mental to adapt to this fast paced world. I understand there's no warnings so I need to be ready. I'm ready to put them down ,preparing my self in a fighting stance. The fighter reaches behind him ,pulls out a sack and throws it over to me. I pick it up and pull out what looks like a pear. "This pear will give you enough energy and neutrons for today, its special properties will help you take damage better… you're going to need it. " I start to eat the pear, this time instead of steam my body enters a quiet hum. Feeling somewhat charged I'm in such a calm state I don't know if its the energy racing through my body, or me enjoy something so delicious. The fighter charges at me with no warning…. just barley getting out of the way, his middle and ring finger knuckle connect with my nose, causing eminence pain, knocking me down.He charges again trying to ground and pound, I raise to my feet the boy still charging I wrap my arms around his waste in an attempt to tackle, I wasn't strong enough he wraps his arms around my neck. He beings to restrict air flow and squats down. At this point there's not to much I can do. He extends his legs and straightens his back ,causing my body to go straight up in the air ,in a continuous motion suplexes me to the ground knocking the wind out of me …. After I want to say a week I finally complete the exercises .Submitting the last opponent one of the boys walks up to Me "Buck…..nice work ….you actually completed the first exercises. Had you not passed today you would have had to take the alternative exercises, and we would to have found an alternative way to rank up thanks to you we are no longer gamma, but delta. Also the fact that you passed the first exercise means that you have potential at being an elite here.There going to be watching you and things are going to be more intense. I think only 30% of our fighters passed the first, any way..thank you make your way back to your bunk and wait for your squad...Now Gamma! "Thanks ! Bucks a little bipolar but he helped a-lot. With eyes on me I really gotta be careful on trying to get out of here. My body is so sore but these "Banana "cuts" help with recovery ,and the nuts …I've gotten pretty big in the short while I've been here. And I've learned a lot of interesting things about the fruit ,and the body. Its really not so bad here when its not intense. As I walk in to our hut, which is bigger then our apartment.I walk to my bunk were there's a fold of clothes next to it a badge and a cap the badge reads "Taz -5252 G" .Now with what I know the "pine people" are a large elite army "The Great" ….After they beat me half to death everyday, I am supposed to study some key things about the culture, area around, us ,the fruit ,and enemies . By this number on my badge this is my number in the army and the G is for gamma. There are 2,000 Omegas, 1,300 Gammas, 1,000 Delta, 800 Beta, and only 150 Alphas. So 5250 plus the 5 new recruits and I was the second to get named so "5252"This is weird… I kind of like this in away, I feel like I have a chance to become strong,... strong enough to help get my family back. Speaking of that I need to talk to General "Sawyer", I need to find out what happen too kiwi. The little guy can't go to long without food. He really doesn't trust anybody other then me and my sister …and I hope she's ok she's tough but I'm her brother she needs me, I shoul….walks in the rest of my Gamma squad.( the squad captain) "Nano" "suit up rook you wanna die" I immediately take it as a threat "the Royals are here everybody needs to be sharp. "No weakness "…..sound familiar?" I hurry to suit up royals from the first district? This is crazy I've never seen anything but a third district Bike. I finish putting my uniform on, its oddly a perfect fit. It looks like a combat biker suit that has green ,and white stripes going down the arm and croch. Nano puts his fingers to his ear "Its Time" we exit the hut to line up as the royals make there way through …..I lean over to "Marble" my other squad mate who's pretty cute, but nobody asked. I asked her why do we do this .she says "General says they require it so they can feel superior, he also says he requires it so they can see how strong we are,.. there also taking there pick of the lot, looking for fighters to bread ." I see all the royal soldiers walking through as the "knights"(Royal contract fighters ) sit on the hovering aircrafts. On the 4th to last float I get a glimpse of a girl with long brown hair ,tied up ,and pressed neat, in a long white gown with golden ribbon and sparkles. She has the biggest frown, and for a sec it look like lychee, but it couldnt be why would she be up there? It doesn't make since. Until It did I seen the scar on her neck she got as a kid ….she had not been listening when mom told her to stay out of the closet, but she didn't listen there was a stained glass painting on the shelf, I found her in the closet one day as the paining was falling ,I tried to push her out of the way, but the edge of the painting slit her neck, and when it hit the ground it exploded. I have almost a similar scar on me calf. I could never mistake that scar I yell her name (LYCHEE!!) and she turned it was her the exchange of eye contact was minimal but I know it was her.Not to short before Nano strikes me on the back of the head. "what are you doing rook !" Rubbing the lump on my head on the last ship, I see I familiar Red sued suit….
