Snippet #1552623

William watched the numbers rise as they ventured up the elevator. Maia asked him a question that caused him to think back to his early days on field training. He decided to tell her the story. "When i was a few years younger than you, i was forced to do a group test, a lot smaller than this one. It was just me and other Advanced. We had to cut through a group of soldiers and plant an bomb. They however, never told us about the traps the soldiers were aloud to place. There was this kid. Super fast. No one could touch him if he was on his feet. He figured he could rush the soldiers, plant the bomb, and run back in less then 5 minutes..." The doors opened and the group in the elevator flooded out into a large mass of people, male, female, advanced, mutt, and human alike. We all stood together facing a bold headed man. He must be the guy who is going to tell us what we are all in for, but he was waiting on the whole group to show. So Will continued.

"The boys plain would've worked, if it wasnt for the mines. Right at the start of the mission, he ran off not but 30 feet and hit a mine. Blew his lower half off. I saw as his friend went to try and help him but the boy was dead before he even got to him." Will looked over at Maias face glued to his story. "Dont worry." he said with a pause, "We let the soldiers have it as well."

Another group of people came from the elevators.

William looked back to the group who came in. "There" he pointed to some man. "Thats the boy who died." The men walked over and stood in the front of the group.

"The next day, when I woke in the Dome, the boy was alive and kickin'..." William saw Maia's confused expression. "Sorry for the bad joke....But somehow these scientist have a way to bring back the dead... And those legs of his are real... Since that boy died, i stopped fearing death... So neither should you." The last group came through the elevator.

The Bald Man began to speak to the whole group. "Listen up!" He commanded.

"Some of you know who i am already... those who don't, you may call me General Hargreaves. I have summoned you all because each and everyone of you are my best men and women... Today that will be tested... There are 20 of your who are my well trained soldiers, 15 of you are commonly referred to as 'mutts', and the last 10 of you are my advanced unit."

He walked Clicked a button on a small device in his hands and the large screen behind him popped up pictures of 8 different kids. "In today's test, you lot of you will be pitted up against this 8 people. They are your targets, and its your job to stop from breaking into the base and stealing the documents. You have to stop and kill them." He hit a button and the screen turned into a slideshow of the kids using their powers. "These are not your ordinary kids. So do not underestimate them. Do not take pity on them, or it will be your life."

"This will be the hardest test we have ever given. There will be 45 of you, against 2 of them for each round."

The doors underneath where he stood opened up to the testing area. A place full of trees, with a building at the center. "in the center of the building is the documents you have to protect. Enter the room, take your positions, and wait for the 'Godlikes' to enter."

The large group of people entered the room.
