DEATHTROOPER : Comrades and Victory

Chapter 5

It has now been over a month since Ordance had said that he might know what the lieutenant had meant, when he had told Candian that shouldn't think so high of his advantages. He had tried to get it out of Ordance, but he always said that his theory wasn't to be revealed yet. Then about a week ago, he had given up with asking for it and decided to wait.

When he went to the training that day he was discussing on which planet they were, with Ordance. He thought they were on a planet in the outer rim terretories, but Ordance who had tought him that there were even more regions in the galaxy. For example the deep core, mid rim and a few more. Thought they were in said mid rim, because the empire doesn't have much power in areas so far out as the outer rim.

They got to training along everyone else, with lieutenant Carant waiting for them. They ligned up in a row infront the lieutenant and he began talking.
"Today is special, today is the last day of you being ordanary cadets," Candian could see the confusion in the faces of the others, but lieutenant Carant didn't seem to take notice of this, "Because the next 5 days, you will be tested in different enviroments and speciallities and at the end of that, you will be picked by commanders to either train as a special trooper or stay as a normal stormtrooper. To be noted is, that even if you don't make it into a special force, stormtroopers are the most used troops. Further information will be annouced after the Well."

They were each given a modified E-11 blaster and then they were being let down into the Well. "Good luck!", Ordance wished him, he only nodded to return the wish.
Then they were of, him faster than the rest, climbing leaping and jumping. It wasn't long until they realised that the shocks were disabled and that was Candians downfall. Shortly after they had all figured it out a blast missed him by an inch. He quickly dropped down so that he wouldn't be hit so easily, peard over the edge and just dogged another shot, now he knew who had targeted him. Nard, one of Glarecs people.

It had been Nards mistake to shoot him because now he had to go down to evade the wall. Candian aswell jumped down, shooting blast after blast at him. About two hit him, but Candian knew that Nard could take 3 or 4 by now. Then he was only a platform away from Nard, he shot a few blasts, but only one hit his target and then Candian was on him using his blaster as a maley weapon and sending a few shocks in Nards stomach. He crumbked to the ground and lay there.

Then Camdian continued, now realising that he was the lowest. He chaneled his energy in his body into his legs and arms leaping up from platform to platform. When he was around the same hight as the rest an energyblast hit him on the head, he looked up and saw Glarec above him, shooting down at him. He knew that if he were to stay in there he would be hit to much to withstand it, so he darted away onto another platform only a bit higher than his and then leaped onto a higher stationed one beneath Glarec's. From ther he was only 3 meters beneath him, he jumped out of the blindspot and used the wall to catapult him further up. Then he was about the same hight as Glarec, but he contiued leaping from platform to platform trying to get above him. That wasn't as easy as said, because Glarec was climbing up as well. Eventually he was a meter above him, so he moved directly above Glarec. In that position he took his blaster in both hands and jumped down, landing infront of Glarec. He used the back of the blaster to wack his chin. Glarec screamed and turned away giving him a free strocke at his spine so he took it and Glarec, aswell collapsed.

By then most of the others had already made it to the top, including Ordance. He knew he wouldn't make top three, but he still wanted to get out of the Well as soo as possible, so he jumped, leaped and pulled himself up and out of it. Up top the rest was wispering and he could think it was about him not making top three, only Ordance came over and helped him up. They waited another ten minutes for Nard and Glarec, Nard with a few bruises and Glarec with a blody spot at the chin. Lieuenant Carant orderd them both to the hospital wing, to get their wounds healed. Then he turned to the rest of them and spoke: "Because of this inconvenience," his eyes rested on Candian as he spoke "We will put the further informations to rest until after lunch. The cadets Lerec, Jard and Morf will get freetime for the entire day. The rest will get theire freetime after reporting to sargent Oral."
A sound of unhappynes went through them all, but Candian didn't participate. It was the first time he had to do this and he was kinda, excited wasn't the right word, but he was interested.
