Utopia: Misfit Fury

Everyone has issues with their parents. At one point in their lives, the children even wish for their parents to be different people. That is no exception here.
My friend and I are, in fact, runaways from two military trained families. My friend, Darrius Xeno, and me, Xamera Majin, hate the military with a passion. Not because of what they do, but by what the military turned our parents into. Military Control Freaks with a quick temper and sometimes an even quicker hand.
Darrius is a simple ‘do not want to follow my parents way of life’ story. His parents were cruel people. Army Profiler/Intelligence from what I remember. They wanted and were going to send Darrius to a military based reform school upstate, but even I knew that Darrius would rather die than become one like his parents.
I, on the other hand, am from a slightly different situation. Both my folks are retired army personnel. My dad loved the military, but my mom hated the death from battle. Yin and Yang are my parents, which would explain when I say they decided on a divorce shortly after one of my birthdays. That, I could not handle.
So that was where we stood. Darrius, a military brat/runaway who did not want to live up to his parents high expectations. Me, I am a military brat/runaway that was disowned and refuses to cope with all the bullshit.
But that was where we stood. Where we stand now is a completely other situation.
Our parents taught us though, and they taught us well. To evade capture, to disarm and render our attacker unconscious, and-above all-to run.
So next time it is your belief that you have it bad; think of us, and try putting yourself in our predicament.
