"Every year it's the same shit: some kid who can set things on fire with his mind comes in and thinks he's special. It's pointless."
"No, it's our duty. We represent our solar system and we must choose who will help protect it."
He turned around abruptly and let his red eyes pierce her.
"My squadron doesn't need any new additions. Especially not a 14 year old with a martyr complex."
Vii opened her mouth to say something, but the words didn't come out quick enough. He was already walking away.

Every 4 years, the Solar Council of The Milky Way Galaxy holds a 90 hour event to recruit new members to the Galactic Defense Force. Anyone from anywhere in Galaxy is welcome to submit their application. Those who have an interesting enough resume gets invited to showcase their abilities in front of The Council. There are 10 members that make up The Council:
1. The head of the council and 3rd generation monarch, Sol.
2. The Patron of Mercury, previously known as Julian. He is the youngest, and the loudest.
3. The Patron of Venus, whose name she can't remember. She's not as pretty as her predecessors, but she's the best one they've had so far.
4. The Patron of Earth, who goes by many names but will most likely respond to Gaia.
5. The Patron of Mars, Malakai. A God of War, but mostly just an asshole.
6. Patron of Jupiter, the living embodiment of a college guy that never had to grow up.
7. The Patron of Uranus, insistent on calling her Vii. It was through the recruitment audition that she got admitted into the council.
8. The Patron of Saturn, who's name is hidden for a reason. She keeps most parts of herself hidden, including her thoughts. The "halo" around her head prevents mind control and mind readers.
9. The Patron of Neptune, or casually referred to as Bailey. Born into ruling the planet, Bailey has been preparing for this the day he was born with one blue eye and a white streak of hair.
10. The Patron of Pluto, who was formally exiled for war crimes. Only recently was he invited back.
