Danny is 14, training in the dimly lit padded rooms, with a pole in hand, fencing against his best friend, Dali, for the Frontier Rank Tournament tomorrow. The Frontier Rank was the second highest rank, with Fighter the lowest, and Linear the highest. Danny's goal was to be a Linear, to continue and save Earth. Danny's goal was not to avenge his family, simply because he was unaware that a family even existed.
Danny struck a blow to Dali, in her midsection, and she toppled over. "You're pretty good at this". "Not good enough", Danny replied, with a grit in his voice. Dali gets up, and gets into stance. Danny had always found this stance strange, because he always used one hand, instead of two. The stance was holding the pole or sword, or any weapon the Warrior prefers, and holding it diagonal to the head, with the dominant hand on top, and at the bottom side, the non-dominant hand at the hip on the opposite side. They continued fighting, and once again, Dali falls down. "Haven't we been training for a while? We could take a break". There's annoyance in Dali's voice. "Fine", and Danny drops his pole in its sheath.
Danny and Dali had become friends when they met, when they saw they had the same necklace. They started to talk about it, and what it might mean. From then on, they had been teams in everything, from fighting to Armageddon, a game they use to train their survival skills. They had grown a great bond, and are almost never separated. The only time they are separated is during mental exams. They put your mind in a test, and through the test. It sees how you react to situations that will probably never happen, but just in case.
