30: The Awakening

Chapter 7: Phase One

The electric bolt that came out from the nozzle of Dimitri's weapon narrowly missed Rosita's head as we all stood shellshocked.

"Fear will be your greatest enemy if you want to win this fight". She said.

"I want out of this madness!" Johann screamed. Everyone started murmuring. "There's no way I signed up for this!"

"How many of you want out?"The hologram man asked.

Everyone except me raised their hands up. Then they all looked at me.

"We don't have time, we should train as fast as we can." I turned to face them. "Whatever is coming isn't human, and won't give up from what I've seen."

"Smart boy." Dimitri tapped my back saying, "Now that we know what the deal is I'll need two volunteer teams preferably yours Charlie boy."

*********************************

It was my team against "Royal Rumble", a team consisting of Alexander, Hugh, Lee, Lancelot and Madiba.

"This part is pretty simple, I'm the best at it anyways." Dimitri said.

Just then constructs materialized out of the ground to form an realistic wasteland to the amazement of everyone of us.

"This is the main event, each team has 180 seconds to take out the most aliens. When you're shot by the alien construct your suit will decrease in percentage and depending on the kind of alien weapon the amount of damage taken will vary" Dimitri continued. "Once it reaches zero you'll get a nasty suprise, and at the end of the training the team with the highest points of the training will get the leadership position till the next training but the person with the highest points becomes the leader for as long as he maintains his position".

"Very good Agent Dimitri, now to use the weapons in the weapon category, they only recognize each of your fingerprints. Each of you has a Neuroblaster, Scatter shocks and a Reaper. I'll leave you to understand your weapons." The hologram man added.

"With all that said why don't Team Charlie and Royal Rumble get prepared". Dimitri concluded.

The Neuroblaster was a small pistol like weapon with a 1000% percent charge which was earlier used by Dimitri, the scatter shocks were small spherical objects while the reaper was a bigger weapon resembling a rifle but with a bigger nozzle and a 5000% charge.

The suit adjusted to hold the weapons and we all got into the wasteland ready to begin.

"3".

"2".

"1".

"Initiating Phase One".

Then the alien constructs appeared but they looked nothing like my visions.

They looked nothing like The Insect Man.
