nothing
Chapter 2
3 years later.....A young woman about 19 years old was in a quiet room used meditating with a ring of soldiers around around her some praying others meditating as well. A man walked in about 23 years old with sharp green eyes and a strong jaw with wide shoulders with otherwise lean features, his hair was tied back in the old fashion with a leather throng. He walked up to the circle and nodded his head towards the door for the soldiers to take their leave of the room. They did leaving their commander alone in the middle of the room. "Hey time to see how 3 years of research have paid off the armors for your new team await you, your new soldiers will be brought in two days time at the least but you should see the armor and see if it fits you, the color sure does as dark as your history and as dark as the night without a moon." his voice after three years was still calm and full of curiosity. "Virtrey you will not be recognized by your soldiers we made sure of that you have read the chart of who your team consists of now lets see if that armor fits you." his hand was held out and I took it and he pulled me up and we walked to the other building which held all the new armor and weapons. He left me at the fitting room and gave me a very uncomfortable suit,"it is for you to wear under the armor you cant wear normal clothes in this new armor" with that he left and I just shrugged and walked into the room and undressed down to my underwear and bra, the suit was a little loose but not quite that tight, as a woman now my hair was down to my butt and my eyes still hazelflecked with gold and skin tanned and scarred from many battles fought and won, I wasnt considered top heavy so I could fit into most old type armor if I chose to, my body though scarred was also lean with hard muscles by the training and fights that I encountered, I was known for looking like a demon as some of the soldiers came to call me but they knew that I was different from the moment I stepped into the facility and began my training that I held so much grief and sadness that they could understand why I acted like I did. As soon as I got the outfit on and walked out Kuyo was standing there and we then proceeded towards the armory as we soon became to call it. The lights came on automatically and in the middle of the hanger were seven armor suits, black, red, green, yellow, blue, gold, and purple. I walked towards them and then looked pointedly at Kuyo to tell me which one was mine, he gestured to the one in the front middle, the black one, I stepped up to it and it ejected so that I could climb into it as I did it closed and the helmet was beside it I put it on as well and the staff released the restraints, the armor felt light so I did a quick high kick and low spin kick then a backflip along with a few punches. "It is the newest type of armor that we came up with, the only thing is it is keyed into the wearers spiritual power, if the wearer has a strong will or a strong reason to live then the armor's special features will be activated to unleash the powers that we built into it." the comm on the inside of the helmet had Kuyo's voice on the sender end, I smiled " I am glad that I practiced meditating now, feel free to bring in the recruits ahead a day of schedule," I turned off the comm and then got out of the armor and went bck to my room and undressed there into some black sweats and a black muscle top, I then proceeded to look at the names on the chart and didnt betray my thoughts outwardly, the names were very familiar to me I still remember each person that I knew, Collin my old lover, Alexa my best friend, Dave my older brother, Kendra one of my friends, Chris and his brother Talon also my friends, the names brought faces to mind and I dreaded the day that we would meet each other again but would they truely recognize me or would they think that I just looked like my former self, no, I am not that weak excuse for a girl anymore I have become a warrior trained in the art of fighting, I wont change because of them, I wont cry because of them, and tomorrow, "tomorrow I will meet them as a different person, with a different name, with a different goal in life." I sighed and leaned back against my bed and closed my eyes drifting off to sleep and dreaming about the day my life change, the day my family died, I woke up hours later to see the clock reading 8:00a.m. I groaned and streched out the kinks in my body and rotated my neck to loosen the muscles then I undressed and got some spare clothes and went into the shower and washed myself of the rest of the dregs of sleep from my body and then got the special suit but it back on my bed and put on some black cargo pants and some black shoes then put on a white muscle top ad left the room to go to the hanger where the suits and the recruits would be waiting for me. Kuyo as usual walked besde me then went into the viewing area of the hanger and that left me to get changed in the dressing room into the cursed suit, as I walked back into the hanger the doors of the hanger opened up and I got my first look at the recruits, after all these years my they certainly have changed, I hardly recognize them. I walked up beside my armor and just leaned there casually until all of them were assembled and looking at me, yes some of them are looking at me as if they know me, thats not good but they will soon learn that I am not that little child anymore. "Welcome to the base Arrkanian, I will be your commander if you dont want to serve under me then please feel free to tell me right out, I wont have someone on my team that cant handle my orders" my voice was normal but command rang through my words to let the others know that I was serious, no one raised any objections, " good, now my name is Virtrey, I already know all of your names and your background, you all share one thing in common but I wont tell you what it is, Alexa come here beside me, " my voice was soft this time and she looked nervous but did what I said ,I might as well tell her the instructions, a voice got inserted into my mind and I heard Kuyo," Virtrey whatever you do dont tell her who you are," " I am not telling her that I am assigning her, her armor now be at ease or you can find someone else to lead them" the threat of not commanding them was no lie and he knew that" fine have it your way". I gave her, her suit and pointed to the girls dressing room, " get dressed in there keep your underclothes on though" she nodded and went to dress I turned back to the rest " Kendra step up please, " she did the same " go into the dressing room next to Alexa's same advice applies to you" she nodded and left ,now for the guys man this is going to suck. " Talon come here please" he just stood there and looked at me, it started to get annoying then he walked up to me and waited for instructions" yes, commander?" his voice was deeper now that he too was 19. I held up his uniform, it was different than the girls but only where the gender was concern," go to the left and yu will find the mens dressing room get there and suit up then report back here" he just nodded and took the suit then left to go dress out. "Chris your next" he just walked up to me and took the suit" its on your left second room"he waved a hand in acknoledgment,now for the last two, I sighed and picked up the second to last one but none the less kept on my blank expression and held up the suit" Dave you can take the third room on the left." "and Collin the fourth on the left" I waited until he took the suit and then I climbed back into the armor and waited for them to come back out before putting on my helmet,but first I have to give them their armors. " Collin, you color is the red one, Chris the green is yours, Alexa the bule is free, Kendra yellow, Talon you take the purple, and finally Dave you can take gold, now everyone suit up just step up behind them and they will eject and then you step into them, your helmets are on the stands beside your armors." I put on my helmet and let the workers release the restraints holding my armor in place. The others followed suit and then put their helmets on and waited to released from the hanger, as soon as all of them were finished being released and getting used to the armor looking heavy yet being very light to suit their body sizes, "okay soldiers cause that is what you are now, you are under my command and you will obey my orders, I will be instructing you in your training so that you can be known as deadly warriors, and if you fail to comprehend why you have to under go training now that you have your suits, well your armor cant function without someone in them so you have to be in top shape as well as capable to move quickly and do impossible manuvers, so now that you know which armor is yours I want you to get out of them and then follow me." my voice was as always calm but firm with the instructions, some of them could get out of their armors easy but Alexa and Talon were having some problems so as soon as I got out of my armor I went over to Alexa as I beckoned a worker to help Talon out of his. "Okay now that you are all out of your armor if you would so kind as to follow me, we shall go through the facility so that you can get familiar with it, we will do this later though right now you will go to the lunchroom so that you can pick out your food and I will meet up with you later" I beckoned to one of my old soldiers," Jordan here will show you the way, goodbye for now," to Jordan I whispered" if they give you any trouble report it later to me alone, goodluck" he just nodded with a trace of a smile at what I said. He gestured for them to follow him out of the hanger, I watched some of them look back at me as if they knew me from some where, I just looked at them and jerked my head so that they would follow the others out the hanger leaving me standing alone, Kayjan, another of my old soldiers, came towards me with a hugh grin of his face,"man they are in for a hugh surprise once they get in the training room, with you being their leader I dont doubt it, I could even feel sorry for the poor bastards" I laughed, Kay, as I had come to call him, always hated when we got into the training room because I would work them until they looked exhausted, but he always came up to me in the morning and tell me that he felt as if he had never been in the training room. " I will make it a living hell for them if they keep looking at me like that, and you should remember the type of hell I made for you and the others." I smiled at that, Kay just stood there and took a moment to remember then he shuddered as if he was still there. I laughed and slung an arm around his shoulders and pulled him to the weapons training, "say Kay, will you have a few practice rounds with me before I have to see if the newbies in the 'hell relm'?(the training room was dubbed that for the intense training done by those under my command)" he laughed and grabbed a quarterstaff and got into a defensive position," ready when you are leader", I smiled sweetly and picked up my favorite weapon a pair of twin swords that kinda look like a cross between a rapier and broad sword, I took up my fighting stance and smiled" ready". The fighting must of been heard all over the facility cause everyone was in the weapon practice room and picking which one would win and how, but Kay and I just kept up the fight without any notice of the others so lost in the fight that even the newbies came to watch cause they had been left alone in the lunchroom, but when they had seen others racing off towards one direction their curiousity got the better of all of them and they came to see what was going on. " Wow, now I know why they call her the bringer of death", " man she is quick, I wish I could be in her team", " she's only 19 yet she fights like a skilled fighter, amazing not many could fight with the twin blades", "what's the history on her?" , "well to tell you the truth, I heard from some higher ranks that she came here 3 years ago after some tragic accident", " shhh...!!! keep your voice down, and dont talk about that, its history that she would prefer left buried", all of the whispers were whispers but nonetheless, only one of the newbies heard the bit about Virtrey's history, hmm...I wonder if it could be Rayna, even though 3 years have past it might be her, God why did I have to be the one to hear this piece of news?
