"The Beta force is here today and you will be tagging along, at camp they will only hint it to you once, but always remember that you are allowed to tag along with any Beta force team when they arrive.

"Never follow an Alpha team unless it's by request, that is something exclusively for the Rookies of the Year candidates. They will be requested by Rangers who want to hire them, others might be fans who want to teach you something." Ox updates every one after getting them ready for the next test.

Angel smiles hi-fiving Ghost, the whole team spent all night watching the videos they stole from Team Aces. Documentaries of past RTF camps. Every year it's the same thing on or two different events every once in a while.

"Don't worry about putting it back Ghost, that's Riders job." Angel turns to Rider, "Your job is to always put back everything Ghost stole." She says to Rider and he nods.

Angel always rewards anyone who does what she says with special privileges. Rider earned the privilege of getting priority status if his shuttle ever gets damaged.

The district alarm rings signalling an announcement – there are 7 districts on the shuttle each the size of a small neighbourhood. The teams are all placed so far apart you have to use the small shuttles to travel from one district to another like with a car on land.

The city announcement screen turns on – the districts are divided into 4 sections, North, East, West, and South, the largest district being where the fourth team on board lies with the rest of the ship's crew. District 4 the West is the largest and busiest.

"Team Jones is requested to suit up and report for duty at station B."

Everyone turns to Angel who is glaring at Xavier, "Do you have what I want?" Angel asks with her arms crossed.

Xavier hands her a 9-litre bottle of the green liquid and waits for his suit.

"I'll be right back." Angel takes too long and they follow her down to her work space at a warehouse 5 minutes away by shuttle.

They enter the building and Angel is adding the finishing touches to her ship. They are all now a purple burgundy colour.

She turns around smiles when she sees they followed her, "Thanks to Xavier's marvellous donations of Martian fruit we now officially have indestructible armour on our ships. Hurry and suit up they are all inside your ships."

Team Jones arrives last in purple armoured shuttles, the armour is thin making for a lovely decoration on the ships.

The suits are all Indigo coloured with black pads for freedom of movement in the joint areas.

Ryan stands next to Rider on a custom made hoverboard and Captains suit.

Lily's suit is the second best with a catsuit design and special made hover-boots and Gauntlets made out of Diamond Coal.

Diamond Coal is a self-made mineral discovered by Angel – more like invented but she will never say that. She adds 10 stones of finely refined coal in a large enough tank and mixes 2000 litres of Martian Fruit - a round big green sweet fruit only found in mars, it grows everywhere and just naturally pops up from the ground.

Angel likes Martian fruit because it induces a psychedelic affect, but adding that to her diet has come in very handy because Martian fruit is very rich in an element only found in Neptune that powers the nanites in her body. She cannot travel to Neptune so she settles for the Martian fruit, she's not always high by choice.

The Martian fruit and coal are thrown in a thermal room at 3000 degrees for 10 days. When it comes out it will look like black jelly, but it will be very sticky. Angel can simply just rub it onto a surface and let it naturally dry or she can mould it while it's still soft into whatever she wants.

The Team Jones space suits are made out of Neptune moonfish soft material filled with diamond coal plates, which is the end result after taking the moulded and now dry black jelly that is left in a small spray box for 2 hours constantly being sprayed with helium.

The jelly hardens and takes the shape of whatever it was moulded into and looks like a purple diamond even feels like a diamond. The material is indestructible. It feels light and even looks light, but Diamond Coal can actually survive an atomic blast.

Riders entire suit is made out of the material. He was the one helping Angel out the most during the week sometimes she would be too tired for morning classes so he would cover for her.

Some of the material she ordered would be delivered on Earth so she would send him down there, as a thank you she made him a Mecha-Suit he asked for.

He's been doing combat training with Lily and Ranger and now he's ready to go.

A team with the Egypt flag as a logo on it stands in front of the group of teams, "We are Team Ra, today we will be exploring planet B5 to capture a wild wolverine. You will each be given a report on what to expect out there.

"We won't be the only ones after them so keep an eye out. Reward money goes to the team that catches one. More than one is worth the money. Everyone move out." The team captain says.

The Beta force lead the way and everyone follows. It's a 2-hour flight from the Base to the planet, "You know, it's pretty suspicious we can't see a planet that's 2 hours away from us even when we're at base, but we can see the moon that is further away." Angel comments drinking her Martian fruit slurpy.

She removed the passenger side seat next to her and installed a slushie machine, it was actually Ghosts' idea, and so she did the same thing for everyone except for the jet, it doesn't have a second pilot seat.

"Are you guys snacking right now? you seriously haven't changed." Owen comments over the radio.

Ranger laughs before she starts chanting, and Lily joins her, "D.N.O! D.N.O! D.N.O! …"

"Shut up!" Angel and Owen shout at the same time

"D.N.O. D.N.O. …" Xavier lightly sings to himself slurping his slushie, "Devil and Owen, oohh la-la."

Angel takes one glance at Xavier's shuttle and glares keeping quiet.

Owen flies next to Angel and smiles when he catches a glimpse of her slurping her morning shake, he's not sure what time it is anymore.

All week it was training and classes back-to-back, he never thought it would be so hard for him to sneak away, "Dee, we need to talk." Owen says over the comms and all the other teams can hear them too.

"Now? because if you say yes my answer is no, I just spotted a Venus wolf here and you promised me one." Angel states keeping her drone fixed on the beautiful and fluffy wolf that somehow managed to leave Venus and make it to a planet like this one.

"Fine, that's what I'll get you, we still need to talk though."

"Okay, later I guess." Angel strays from the group and goes after the Venus wolf.

"Captain, shouldn't you tell your teammate to stick with the rest of us?" The leader of the Beta force Team asks.

Ryan shrugs his shoulders, "Telling her what to do results in her doing nothing. She'll be fine don't underestimate diamond coal."
