Halo: Omega Program

Chapter 3 Race to the bell 2526

The instructors woke the kids at the same time as yesterday, Five am on the dot. As instructors were yelling at every recruit to get up. Nathan only had to be told once and got up. The instructor and nodded at him. Samuel stepped into there barrack and the kids eyes all darted to him.

"Today,We will do upside wall push ups, I'll show you how to do so now. Pay attention"

Chris Samuel took his hat off and walked up to a wall. He placed both hands on the floor his arms straight his head facing the wall exactly like how his body is. Keeping his body straight as possible. He lowers himself to the ground slowly as his head almost touches the ground.

"Press down, then you inhale recruits."

He pushes his body back up as his legs are straight and not shaking.

"Exhale as you pull your self up again."

Continuing to pull himself back up until his elbows lock. He lowers himself unto the ground and then stands up and puts his hat back on.

"I want all of you to do 30..Instructors make sure they do it properly"

The instructors nod and threaten the children to hit them. If don't start doing what Cheif Samuel told them to do. Each and everyone of them as tremendous amount of struggle doing this new task. One recruit couldn't get pass 6 and the instructor kept hitting him with the electrified baton and the kid lost balance with one hand. The other hand was holding all the pressure of his weight. Causing the arm to split inside and break, blood oozed out of his arm as the bone sticks out of his elbow. The instructor looks at Cheif Samuel as all the children hear the horrific cry of the recruit. Samuel sighs to himself and nods at him. Two more instructors go to the boy and carry him away. This causes Nathan motivation to complete this as fast as he can. Sweat goes from his body down to his head an drips unto the floor. Leaving a small puddle of sweat.

"Alright recruits! Morning routine"

The children did the same calisthenics. Push ups,jumping jacks,crunches and more. Samual tells them to take a break. Nathan walks towards Nick as he pants with break.

"Hey nick"

"Hey..you look tired" Nick smirked as he doesn't even look tired. His sandy blonde hair was like Samuels. Short and chopped military style.

"Yeah, I am" Nathan said as he raised a brow at Nick.

"Aren't you?" Nick looked around as he spots felicity, her hair reaching to her shoulders.

"No, I could do this a couple more times" the three started chatting, what school they went to, what there parents names were.

"Recuirts! Form up!" They all crowd around him like cockroaches running away from there nest.

"It's time to show you the playground."

All the children started smiling, swings to relax on, slides to slide down on. as the children walk they begin to go thought a green forest. Light filtering through the leaves and branches, smelling composting leaves and the trees. Crackling branches as Nathan walks on a gravel path, green meadow hidden in the folds of the forest.

When they got to the playground it wasn't what the recruits expected. Twenty-meter tall wooden poles. Rope cargo nets; There were slide poles and knotted climbing ropes. ropes looped through pulleys and tied to baskets that looked sturdy enough to hoist a person.

"Alright recruits, instructors will be placed all around the playground and help you if you fail, if you start to slack off. Get going." The recruits start running around trying to do every exercises, Nathan gets to the twenty meter poles ;some forming different sizes. Nathan hip hops from one to the other, not slipping off or messing up. Samuel notices this from the corner of his eye and walks towards him he looks up and watches the recruit doing this course.
