"Ajax, Honey?" Ajax woke seeing his mother waving at him "Ajax Dear, come on you've got to go with Gale to see General Sarf at the training academy" Ajax groaned as he dragged himself out of bed onto the carpet "Mother can I have five minutes please?" Ajax said to his mother as he stood up, towering over her "No, young man you may be over a thousand years old but you're young still" His mother said as she threw ice cold water over him and walked out of his room "Mother!" Ajax went into the bathroom and showered in the ice water, stepping out of the shower Ajax put his military uniform on and left the house "Bye mom, I love you" Hunter shouted "Bye dear, have a good day!" Ajax's mother said as he shut the door behind himself and saw His best friend Gale standing there in the exact uniform as Ajax "Come on bud, locking yourself in that lab all week made me miss ya!" Gale said punching Ajax's arm playfully "Why do you think the General wants to see us?" Ajax said passingly as they walked into the camp. Gale shrugged wanting to get away from this conversation fast "Gale I know he is your dad but..." Ajax was cut off when Gale punched him hard across the chin "YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME AND THAT MAN!!!"
Hunter was yanked out of his nightmare, panicking, sweating intensely and scared Hunter jolted and fell off the couch scrambling in fear "Hunter! Hunter!" Luna said worryingly hugging Hunter hard trying her best to comfort Hunter " Please Hunter, listen to me" Hunter looked around the white lab seeing his ship hanging from chains and seeing Fiona talking to a female hologram. Hunter stood and walked over to Atlas and Fiona talking "Hello girls" Hunter said as he smiled at Fiona and Atlas. He walked over to his ship as Luna hugged him " I know how it feels Hunter" Luna whispered. "Luna I need to thank you for everything you've done for me" Hunter turned and went to kiss Luna but was interrupted but Fiona "Hunter, what is in this ship that was worth killing for?" Hunter sighed " I cant say sorry, I don't know who is listening and who I can trust yet." Hunter climbed into the cockpit and rebooted the ship and a voice played from the speakers "Space Bre--" Hunter shouted loud to drown out the voice from the ship "Hunter what was that saying?" Luna asked climbing up face to face with Hunter "Fine, Luna follow me" Hunter jumped down and entered a small room with Luna following close behind, Luna shut the door "Luna, t-the device that is inside that ship is capable of breaking" Hunter stopped and thought quietly to himself "Well?" Luna said kneeling in front of Hunter "Tell me" Hunter looked at Luna and took a breath "lets fix this ship first" Hunter stood up fast and left the room to see Fiona about to shoot his sniper at a steel target "FIONA!" She fired as soon as Hunter said but was launched back twenty meters from the kick of the sniper "Atlas!" Atlas nodded and de-activated the sniper as Hunter disappeared and reappeared behind Fiona, catching her before she hit the pile of broken metal shards, Fiona wrapped her arms around Hunter and Kissed him hard before turning red with embarrassment and running off "what just happened?" Luna and Hunter said at once.
