Legacy of Earth

Chapter 1 - Alon Akunawa

Alon Akunawa, a young man with olive tanned skin, messy dark brown hair and light brown eyes, woke up in a yawn finding himself inside the Cockpit of his Mobile Worker, which was originally a Tank used for Anti-Mech combat but over the years would be repurposed for Non-Combat use such as Construction and Agriculture.

He heard his father call his name and he immediately cursed as he pulled the plug on his Gestalt Adapter, a man-to-machine interface that allows pilots to immediately learn how to use the machine they were using through the use of a Cybernetic implant on the spine, off as he climbed out of it and put his shirt on as he ran inside to his home to find his father and younger sister looking at him with a disapproving look on their faces.

"You slept late last night again," his father scolded him.

"Sorry I took off with the Mobile Worker last night," he explained.

"Oh I know," He said as Alon's blood ran cold, last night he had taken the Mobile Worker for a joyride with a few of their friends as they decided to break a few dumpsters within the vicinity just for their alcohol-fueled amusement.

"Because only you were smart enough to try and break our dumpster by crashing the Mobile Worker in the line of our Cameras while trying to pretend it was an accident." His younger sister Marina, a beautiful teenager with fair skin and dark red hair and light green eyes, raised her phone showing a video feed of Alon crashing the Mobile Worker and was followed by him stepping out of it, at first he had an amused look on his face as he smiled and grinned but he looked around and had this look of horror on his face as he realized and then ran back inside the Mobile Worker and proceeded to drive away.

"We'll talk about that later," His father said crossing his arms, trying to look angry but was clear he was amused. Well, Alon has amused at his alcohol-fueled stupidity but it was mostly overlapped by his fear of punishment after he had been caught, Marina herself can see it as well.

"In the meantime, your sister is gonna be late so drive her to school."

"Yes sir," He groaned internally fearing for the worse later on Marina grinned as they hop into their Father's truck and drove off. But not before she decided to punch him in the arm as he started the truck.

"Ouch! Hey!" Alon gave a minor glare at Marina.

"That's for not telling me you and the others are going to smash Dumpsters," She told him with an annoyed pout. Due to the high durability of both the Mobile Workers and the Dumpsters, it was a common pastime in the Agriculture Areas for teens and young adults to crash their Mobile Workers to see which one will break first.

"There was alcohol involved so of course, I wouldn't invite you there in fact nobody except for us knows about it," Alon explained as he is eighteen and Marina is sixteen and neither of them should be around alcohol. "Not to mention the Top Student of your class shouldn't even be seen drinking."

"Says the Honor Student that never went to University." She countered as he smiled in amusement. It was no secret that Alon was the top student of his year and could even apply for a scholarship with his intellect but instead he had chosen to help on the Farm rather than pursue a college degree, though he did promise his father that he'll enter University once Marina can get a Job in the future he just needs to work until they can afford it.

"Not never just not yet," Alon explained as they drove into her School's parking lot.

"Thanks, I'll probably just walk home with my friends," She said as she got out of the car and saw the rest of her friends, some of whom were seen excitedly waving at him. It was also no secret between the two of them that he was popular with the women something that mildly annoyed Marina to no end. "Sure but if something happens don't hesitate to call me okay," He called out to her as she ran towards her friends.
