"Honey, you need to wake up" the soothing voice of Nathan's mother makes him stir and groan. A bolt of electricity wakes him up.

"Recruit! Wake up!" Nathan and rolls offthe cot and unto the floor. Stands up.

"Let's move it trainee!" A man in a grey uniform stood above Nathan, He takes a glance around the room as more instructors yell at the children to get up. The man that stands above nathan holds a silver baton, flicking it close to Nathan's arm and it sparked.

He started to back away from the man. Felicity passes by him as a instructor runs directly behind her. Nathan looks up at the man, nodding at the young 183. Nathan and the others run out of the gray barracks and onto a large strip of grass. The sun hasn't risen yet, the grass was wet due to the temperature. There were dozens of of barracks, 5 pelicans roared over there heads and tilted up to the sky.

Samuel walks to the trainees as they stand on the wet grass. Chief Samuel yells.

"You will line in 6 Equal rows in my line of sight, Go!" Samuel waits a few moments as they all formed in the lines.

"This isn't school recruits, fix this non-sense" Nathan being in the third row, felicity being in the fifth. As the children breath they slowly begin to wake up. Being 5AM isn't a thing kids don't do. Multiple of children hugging there chest.

"Alright roaches!" Samuel barked. "Push ups! Count from 150 down to zero, ready,Go."

The officer started the first few push ups.Showing the children incase they never have done it before. The children follow his order, a boy in the crowd froze for a second and one of the instructors struck him in the chest with a electric baton. The boy couldn't inhale for a second, breathing ragged breathes as he started following everyone else.

After a few minutes there legs and stomachs burned as sweat trickles down there backs. Few kids collapsing around Nathan, the instructors started hitting the kids that gave in. They kept striking the recruits until they started doing them again.

"3...2...1...0 and Halt! Stand up on your feet"    Samuel saids, the kids slowly stand up as there legs burn greatly. Some get on there hands and knees and begin to throw up. But the trainees knew if they didn't get up they were going to get a jolt of electricity threw them.

" 100 Jumping jacks, let's go" Samuel watches the kids as they struggle to do the task. Nick-010 does this with ease, Nick was the one that fist bumped nathan last night. There body continues to burn as they do the physical tasks.

"98..99..100, Sit-ups!" He dropped onto the grass. "Count off to one hundred. No slacking." Samuel did this task with them for a few moments. A lot of children, possibly everyone got smacked with the baton because they were slacking or doing it wrong. "100, Rest." They fell to the ground as there body's tremble from the exercises. Four instructors wheel out a cart of water bottles. Thumping sounds of children running to carts. Grabbing the delicious and refreshing water bottles as they gulp down the liquid substance. Nathan sat down on his knees as the rest of the children flop unto there backs and pant with breath as some hold there sides or were curled up in a ball.

The sun was up now. Casting sunbeams in every direction. Nathan started to think, Where was he? Was he even on the planet cascade anymore? He started to remember, men in uniforms came in his home and injected him with some substance and that's when we woke up in the ship.

"A good start trainees, time for a jog. On your feet!" Samuel commanded. They jogged on a gravel path of the edge of the base, passing by more barracks. Seeing the skyscraper buildings. Pelicans fly over there heads as Nathan watch some land on landing pads and sees a runway where jets took off to the sky. The recruits ran what seems like forever.

Nick, felicity and Nathan couldn't think really straight and only feel blood pumping fast though them and the ache in there muscles, mainly there legs. They run to a very large building or could be mistaken as a base. With a flag pole beside it and the flag reads 'U.N.S.C' with blue stars and Swords passing though the lettering. The middle of the building as a large dome and white columns supporting it. Samuel whips around and stomps his feet on the ground.

"Halt!" The kids stop and stare at him, terrified to move a muscle.

"We are done for now, walk inside and someone will be inside." Cheif Samuel steps aside as the kids run up the dozen of wide steps. Stepping inside I notice six armed men on each in the entrance of the building, wearing O.D.S.T armor. Thanks to its black and gray camouflage patterns on the legs, boots, leg armor, gloves, chestplate, helmet these special op troopers are able to do a lot in the dark when on the battlefield. These soldiers helmets look close to a standard motorcycle helmet. But built with a tint of aluminum alloy and heat resistance material. The visor is made of strong glass material. The ability to cloak the users face when activated or not. The visor when cloaked is glossy black. Armed with a MA5B assault rifle. Nathan inhales deeply not trying to think of his father. He misses his family and starts to think if his father is trying to contact Admiral Vise, Vise as been a great uncle to him but couldn't tell much to nathan of what he does due to his work being classified or his parents didn't let him.  The room having three doors. One straight ahead of the kids, The left and right.

"You will proceed to the door Infront of you" A odst saids as he points to the door. We all just stare at him as he grasps his weapon.

"Go on, move it" the children nod there heads and move to the open door.  A yellow holographic Woman with long hair waits for us and smiles.

"Welcome, My name is Marie. Class  is about to begin. Please seat, unless want to skip class today then I could contact Samuel to do drills instead" her hologram lips form a smirk, speaking in a very slight British accident. The kids shook there heads. She nods. Two men bring enough trays for everyone in this group. The tray having crackers and milk cartons. Nathan sat near felicity, Nick picks up his tray and decides to seat near them as well.

"Hi" Nick waves to Nathan, he turns his body to face him and nods at him.

"Hey your the guy that jumped before me" Nathan said as Nick nodded. A holographic countryside map appears on a table that's in the middle of the room. Thousands of Little hologram soldiers marched to a number of three hundred soilders that block a pass. Marie starts explaining that this was Thermopylae. She also explains that these brave soilders were old Spartans. The two groups clashed into each other, blood being drawn. Shields,Swords and spears spilling blood. The children watched as the Spartans slaughtered the Persian army. Marie started to explain the military tactics to the children, even if some won't get it at all. They will someday. The Persians start running as the Spartans stood chest high with a victory. The children cheered as Marie smiled. The trainees wanted to see more and learn.

"That is all for today, tomorrow I'll teach you about wolves" The kids all started walking out the door as chief Samuel waiting down the steps of the building.

"Trainees. I've been ordered for you to get you to bed, Time for another run."
