The Empire had hurt so many people, and they were going to hurt the tyrants back. The Queen of Nixta herself came to meet the huge group, and this meant she thought they were important. Getting in the Queen's favor could be crucial to their status as rebels. The Queen controlled all of the rebellion, from ship maintenance to chronoponic food growth.
The crew bowed deeply to honor her, but she allowed them to rise, saying "All are equal here. There's no need to bow to your equal!". She led them to the barracks, where an old, gray-haired Kyram waited for them. She introduced him as Cpt. Pine, and said that he would show the crew around.
"Alright, listen up! You newbies are going to have to train very hard if you want to be anything other than a wimpy foot soldier here. You mighta had cushy lives wherever you came from, but this. Is. The. Rebellion. And we work hard here! Follow me, we're going to see just how terrible you are."
He took them to what looked like an obstacle course, fully equipped with pop-up targets and automatic guns that shot hard plastic bullets. "First up is.. You! In the back, the Marilo with the green shirt! Go ahead, we don't have all mukol!" The course had three main sections: Agility, Speed, and Combat. Each person got a score for each part, and they were averaged together and rounded down. First one up got 4, 2, 1, averaged to 2. Most people didn't get above 4, and then, it was Destra's turn. 7 in agility, 6 in speed, and 9 in combat, which averaged to a mighty 7!
I’ve been considering making a new series, about magic wolves. What do you think? Also, sorry this one is short. As always, feel free to post feedback or criticism!
