After the mass extinction of the giant race, the humans and other races can live in harmony. The Dead Hand military uses the footage of the Giants to teach about Titan's history, but it's main use is propaganda. The military being seen in Titan as a super power, many have enlisted to share some of the honor and glory.

Children may enlist too, but they are sent to military schools that go direct into the combat subject. The kid with the highest grade can be offered a chance to enlist in the special forces training. Schools like these may seem tough, but you have every kind of kid here like any other school. From the gossip girl to the geeky scientist, they all have one thing in common "honor and glory"

Schultz, a pilot, is training to be a great pilot. Schultz is extremely shy and doesn't talk much, he hides his face under his huge scarf. Unlike most of these kids, Schultz is a orphan, left to freeze at the age of 1. Unlike places like earth and Saturn, Titan has no orphanage, orphans are given to the military as tribute, the motives to his sad story is unknown.

"Hey, Schultz, wanna come to the cafeteria with me?", zuss asked

Zuss was a extremely popular boy, having many girls that want to be his suiter, he enjoys his popularity, but he wants to find the 'right one', as he calls it. Zuss sat by his old friend and fellow pilot.

"N-no thanks, zuss...", Schultz would reply softly

"Why?" He asked a little confused

"Y-you don't want to be seen with a loser like me...j-jus g-go"

Zuss crosses his arms, "uh...sure, but hey, incase you are scared of making me look bad, you don't...I'm no Chad", he pats his back.

Schultz stood holding his notes and went walking off, thinking if he did the right thing or not. The bell rings in a few minutes, which being alone felt like a eternity. He sadly enters the room where he is to take class. He silently listens to the teacher, but he starts to lose his concentration when a huge mountain started to twinkle. He stood and went to the window.

"Mr. SCHULTZ!", his teacher, Briggs, called "you think you are special huh, jerry"

Briggs is a American soldier and pilot. He tended to use words such as jerry or kraut, ever since he failed to defend the US from the Dead Hand's conquest. Enlisting or dying, he chose to join the new army.

"N-no, mr. Briggs!", Schultz said nervously

"That's Sargent to you, and I ain't no mister!", Briggs corrected, "the hell you are looking at, cadet!?"

Schultz points at the twinkle, Briggs looks at it and has the class take cover, in the case that it's a Ottoman sniper. The dead hand kept earth united and as one, but Turkey or the newly formed ottoman empire, have been acting odd as of late.

"Does some one have a scope I can use?!", brings asked

The children were all silent

"Of course you dont...", he sigh

The twinkle leaves and Briggs looks back at the class, "yeah...class is dismissed..."

the children happily ran back into their bunks withing the school bunkers all day trenches, but Schultz was stopped.

"Cadet, how about a mission?", Briggs asked

"M-me? Why me?", Schultz asked

"Because you spot it, look, you scout the area on your plane, and then when you give me the status I'll speak to high command", Briggs said, "get back in one piece...planes are expensive"

Schultz salutes his teacher and Sargent and ran to a plane. He started to move towards the mountain, maintaining himself in between the land and sun, to be harder to detect. The boy sees the shining, but no people, but a giant shiny monument. He lands the plane on the mountain and inspects the shiny piece of metal.

He felt it and looks up at it, seeing some leather straps, he was relieved that it was nothing dangerous.

"Oh...just some armor" he felt it.

The ground begins to shake alot, he panics thinking it to be a earth quake, his plane fell off the ledge

"No! Briggs is going to kill me!!", he yelled out thinking 'now what!? I can't come back like this...maybe I can...just got to think of what is up'

As he entered a log for cover, he suddenly saw a giant bare foot hit the ground. The figure picks up the chest plate

"N-no..." he said softly "i-it can't be...a...a...A giant? Oh God please no..." the kid holds his head in fear.

He softly cried holding his mouth shut.
