Hero Academy

Chapter 1

I wake up to the banging on my cold containment cell, a man lets himself in, I was still feeling sleepy so the man's face was very blurry in my eyes, I felt to tired to move so I just stayed there trying to sleep, he then zapped me with an electric gun which jolted my system and made me stand up, When I stood up I looked around my containment cell, my containment cell consisted of just a mat and a toilet, the room created a partition around the toilet for privacy so I eased myself and got into my training uniform, the uniform was a mixture of red and white, we wore it everyday because we were forced to train everyday, I got out of the toilet and entered the large training area, there were hurdles, bench presses, weights and other body building objects in my segment of the training area. Those exercise equipment were made mainly for me, They were trying to enhance my physical abilities but why? The answer to that question eluded me everyday. I'm not the only person who trains everyday, four other people train with me but they do different exercises. They were my best friends, we met each other some years back and became best friends. Their names are Justin, Michael Jackson and Trey. Justin and Jackson are brothers twins in fact, but you can easily tell them apart because one is smarter than the other. As for Michael and trey, they are just my best friends. We all weren't related but we thought of each other as family. Anyhow life here in this place, wherever it is is terrible! Rules and regulations have been put in order for us and some punishments come along with the rules. The most important rules were never leave your capsule unless instructed(The punishment for that is starvation and electrocution) and Never leave the doors of this place unless instructed(The punishment for that is very severe, it was said that we would be beaten up then electrocuted till we passed out.)-The doors were located at a wall on a wall, there was a rectangular shaped hole in the wall where all the guards slot cards to open it and exchange shifts. They felt we were not a threat so only two security guards watched us, two in the morning and two in the night. In this place we were taught things like combat techniques, killing techniques and basic combat moves. We were also thought arithmetics and other essential subjects. My training session was soon over and I joined my friends in what we call the cooling room. The room was made mostly for the purpose of relaxing after training. We were given an hour everyday to relax then we go back to training or have lessons. I started up a conversation "So like what's up everyone!" Trey replied "Working our asses of as usual" we all sighed, then Justin said" The guard that woke me up today wasn't very nice..." We all discussed our mornings for a while then I raised the big question "What do you think the world will be like now... We have been gone for over twelve years sand we are fifteen". Michael replied " That's a good question, things change, we've spent most of our lives here, I wonder if our family members even looked for us while we were gone!" I could see the rising anger in Michael so I tried to change the subject but he just continued. "Everything would have changed,they would have given up on us by now, the only family we have is each other but, I still wonder, why us? Why did they pick us... His words were cut short, a guard barged in and told us our break was over. We all separated and resumed training, while I was training I overheard a conversation between two guards, the first guard said " do we really have to guard these children? They seem harmless to me" The second guard replied " Yes we do, they are special have you forgotten? I thought to myself "Special? What could he mean by that" the second guard continued "Let's just wait for the night guard to take over, although it seems there is going to be a delay from now on, the guards will arrive 10 minuted after we leave so we have to put them to bed early and put holographic projections in place just in case... The first guard notices me looking and says"enough chatter one of them is looking at us" he shouted at me "Hey you! Focus on your training or else!" I quickly looked away but went into deep thought about their conversation. I said to myself "special? I need to get this info to my friends as soon as possible"
