Introduction
What you need to know
Some children are born with unique abilities that make them all special. Maybe they are smarter, more impulsive, calmer, shyer, louder, anything that makes them a better fighter or opponent. When they are very young, children are given "monitors", or little robotic implants put in them, to watch their every move and see how they think. If the children show no sign of being extraordinary, they are taken out around the age of 3, but if they show promise the monitor is kept in until the age of 8-10. Then a representative from battle school comes to recruit the child to train to be in the army to fight against buggers in the upcoming years. At the school, students undergo a rigorous curriculum, designed to teach military strategy and tactics. As befits an elite school, only the very best and brightest students are taken. The common age of "graduation" is usually 16-18. While at Battle School, they are taught academic subjects; especially a heavy grounding in mathematics and science, a setup for work in space.
However, the academic work is not the complete focus of Battle School. Rather, the true evaluation of the students occurs in battle simulations which are run by the school's instructors. The students are divided into 6-10 person armies. They fight mock battles in null gravity, armed with harmless lasers and suits that freeze when hit with a laser shot. These battles are used to test the tactical aptitude of the students. The object of the game is supposedly to 'destroy' or freeze all the enemy soldiers and then pass through the gate from which the enemy had entered.
But the buggers are getting closer, and the battle school is getting desperate. More children are being taken, and the training is harder. You don't just have the choice to try to fight, you must because food is being withheld and you wont survive 3 days of this training without food. And sleep is a hidden withhold. Are these children tough enough to take it, or will the crumble under the pressure?

Alex smiled, saluting her and going to to a random bunk, unlocking his locker to pull out his desk. He typed in his password signing in. He opened up the word program and immediately started typing, his fingers flying wildly across the screen in a manner of typing up a plan, then deciding it wouldn't work and starting to edit it.
"I wonder how Dr. Larken thinks you will be able to lead us if you're so afraid of relationships. Of forming bonds... of trust," his eyes never blinked once as he started talking. This was so much fun. "Are you afraid of someone using those bonds to hurt you?" LeeU observed her carefully.
"Plus, you have the fear of failing." He added. He had notice this when she had immediately corrected every things that she wanted to improve.
"Trusting may be a weakness but not letting others in, is also a weakness," He continued. "But anyway, I'm sure you already know this."
He waited for a reply then decided to add. His boyish face serious and solemn.
"But, Intimacy can be quite beautfiul, you know, if you decide to experience it"
"Unfortunately, we are outmatched by them in every way," She began. It was the complete truth.
"They beat us in strength, in speed, in numbers, in size..." Tear opened her eyes wide. "The best we could get is a draw, but even that is unlikely."
Her brother could take out half of Team Phoenix with one hit if he wanted to. Or he could make them suffer slowly by practically dissecting their minds.
"Since a few of us are quite small, due to our age, we could ambush them easily but even then, our chances at winning are not high."

Phoenix nods. " ok, that means some crazy planning." she says nodding. " I want you and Alex to work with each other. come up with what you thinks would need to happen to make us win." she says and turns on her desk and starts hacking in to the other teams profiles, I need an in to their heads.. she thinks and finishing her program lets it run.

"If you do decide to tell me, I promise I won't tell." His brown eyes shined as he looked down at her sitting form. "You can trust me, if you want to,"
XXXXTEAR
She looked up at the boy that had objected to her, She looked at him curiously. Did he know something she didn't?
"Well, I guess right now I may not be entirely correct since I do not know all the skills of every one on the teams but in general, I think that I'm right.."
She nodded at him to continue.

"Well. The other team has more people on their squad. That means we will be getting another. And since their squad is older, we will be getting another older person. I over heard Larken on the phone. Some girl names Hannah. She's suposed to show up a little later. And apparently, she's from the other battle school. I didn't even know their was another one, but she's really good they said."
XXXXTear
"But theres a lot of good people on Tiger too," Tear looked at him, unblinking. It was a habit. Her father had trained her to only blink once every two minutes.
"I think you're underestimating them. You don't know what they're capable of yet. It would be stupid to think there's a chance when there isn't one,"
But Tear tilted her head to the right, another habit, "But if she's as good as you think then maybe I'll be able to draw up different conclusions after I see some of our team in action."

Alex shrugged. "I know their commander. She was my commander two times in the past years, so I know her really well." He shrugged, wanting to know what she would think of that.
He gave a bitter smirk.
"You'd be surprised at how much I can relate," He said.
XXXXTear
"My brothers a killer. He can torture you without laying a single finger on you, and you would be trying to take your own life to end the pain," Tear said to him, ignoring the leader. You can't win if you can't. There's nothing else to it. But she shrugged.
"Show me your plans, I'll calculate them afterward."

She nodded her head, continuing. "So i learnt to fight. My reflexes got fast, faster than most, and i got impulses to do what it would take to survive there. Gangs of kids fought everyday, for food, for land, for pride, for people. I never had a monitor in me as a kid, but I'm still here. One of the representatives was passing through the town and they saw me. BY then i was 7, and I had become the leader of my own gang. It was about 6 or us, all 7 years old and we thrived on the streets. We always ate well, had somewhere to sleep, and no one dared attack us. Thanks to me." As she said the last part, she looked down, a little bit of sadness in her eyes. "They saw the way I was running the streets and they took me."
Tear could have come at the age of 8 but LeeU had said to come a year later. He had wanted her to get in one more year of rigorous training. SHe trusted him and did as he said, even though all she wanted was to come and join him.
XXXXLeeU
"Do you miss your gang?" He asked softly. Did she form bonds within her gang? If she had, it made sense why she didn't want to feel that kind of pain again.
He thought of his own survival of his cruel father. He aalways took the hits. He had to, for Tear's sake. Closing his eyes, he turned his attention back to Sparkles.

Jessica shrugged, then shook her head. "Not really. I never got to know them for who they were. We were only, and i wasn't their to be their friend. I was their to be their leader, and that's all i ever was. Once they took me, they tried to start me in strong training but i refused. I ended up going to normal school until I turned 8, when they sent me here. It was the worst day of my life." She said.

"Then I'm sure theres a possibility to beat them, Have you written out any strategies yet?" hse asked eagerly. Her mind was already seeing the all possible battle outcomes.
XXXXLeeU
"What happened?" He asked, his voice gentle. She was actually starting to open up to him and he felt kind of... honored. HE pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Just listen to the story, Kang YiJung he siad to himself.

"Many, but they don't help much. Each battle consists of a different layout for the room. The stars are moved, the lighting changes, everything." Alex said, his eyes lighting up on the topic.

"That sounds so awesome," Tear breathed out lightly. "Do we still have a chance of beating them though? I've thought about it, since they're bigger, they are easier targets but we're a lot smaller and slower. I guess if we worked on our speed, we could probably actually beat them."
If Phoenix was quick then with their smaller sizes it would be harder for Tiger to actually hit them. But they were older and a lot more experienced...
"We might have a shot at this thing!"

"Do you know when our first battle will be?" She asked

She looked around, everyone seemingly have finished with their desks. "Show time. Who wants one?" She asked, waiting before they would go to shower. "This will be the only one you get for the next couple of days, so i suggest you take one."

She nodded at him, then glanced quickly at the leader. Tear didn't really like her. There was just something cold about her that the young girl didn't like. But she gave a quiet sigh, Phoenix was her leader no matter what. She would do the best she could and hope for the best.
XXXALEX
Alex saw the girl glance at Phoenix, and smirked. "Don't worry," he whispered to her. "She gets nicer. Commanders just aren't suposed to be friends with their squad. They are the commanders, the leaders. Nothing else."

Re: [OOC] Battle School
Anyways, if you accept my character, I just want to say that I'm in a different time zone than most of you guys (I think it's a 10-hour difference from America), so I might not be online at the same times as you guys, so I just thought you should know :)
