Its time to tell you about the story of the third Petrova doppleganger....

2079

It is the 3rd of January and the ice has begun to settle on the rocks.  I've spent my 22 years of life on this spherical rock called the Moon. Its beautiful....for a day, not for 22 years. Thankfully, the Moon Assassins have not let one of those years to go to waste. I've been training from about 5 years old to become an Assassin. 

Whats an Assassin? Well the official definition is: A murderer of an important person in a surprise attack for political or religious reasons.

But we like to see it as justice. Justice for the weak and the poor and for the sake of society itself.

So after an intensive combat training session, an intense study group or lecture on cultural and political news of modern society and finally an incredibly detailed practice of modern technology and electronics, we research on the  'anything and everything' corrupt in the real world. My favourite, as was for many others, was the weapon training. The weapon armoury got larger and larger every year, with the most skilled graduate of each year being able to pick only one of any weapon from it. The rest got boring new equipment that could be easily bought from SUPEREbay.

Guess who happened to be the most skillful graduate of 2078?

Your's truly...Averia Gilbert.

I picked the Electrical Swords of Ancient Moon History.

Some called me stupid for not picking a gun and some called me silly for not taking a grenade launcher or auto-locking RPG. But i knew something they didn't, you see Father Daniels - The man who practically brought me up from the moment i was left on the footsteps of the secret silver shuttle ,that was about to leave for the Moon, with only a note explaining unexplainable things and only telling me my name, was also the man who told me the secret of the Electrical Swords. But as he liked to call them Spada Electtica. You see when he was a young Italian assasin he was given these Swords and when he was in the Grand Combat Training Room back in Earth, his Swords exploded and destroyed the whole room, before he could get out the falling rubble, he stopped as he noticed the Swords caused a Shield to envelope around him.

These Swords not only conducted mega amounts of electricity, but also created indestructible shields.

The perfect weapon.

Thats what the legends would say about my Swords when i will equip these babies in my cases of assassination on Earth. I truly did desire that with my Swords i would be called: The Perfect Assassin, i would be the best of the best, no single being could stop me.....well apart from myself. You see, i had underlying issues to deal with...

But for now at least the Swords were a last resort.

So, you must be thinking what i'm i doing here, on the barren Moon, even though i've graduated. Well, waiting for Father Daniels to get my shipping details and i'll be off. Not for my missions though, my gap year if you'd like to call it...something.

For what? 

To find my family.

With only two pieces of information: my family were a bunch of superhuman-like creatures and they were Gilberts, i think.

Hmm, seems like a slightly impractical and unprepared trip right? But honestly i am ready! 

One year to find my....loved ones. Well, really the people who abandoned me.

I loved Father Daniels, he and the Moon Council have actually allowed me to go on this journey of self discovery. Father Daniels loves me enough to let me go, so i'm not gonna waste this oppurtunity. He's been my entire family.

Okay, don't get too emotional, Ava.

I mean I speak English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Italian.

How hard could this be?
