Life as an Elite part 2
I was sleeping well until Kholo came and woke me up. "Shadey... Shadey wake up."
I woke up to his voice. "What is it Kholo. I'm trying to sleep."
Kholo grunted. "Shadey they're coming. The Elites that messed with you yesterday. They're on their way."
I woke up and looked at Kholo as I got out of my bed. "Where are they at?"
Kholo looked out the window and pointed. "They're right there on there way. I turned and grabbed my armor. Everything was strapped on fast.
"I'm ready for them." As I was going to leave my bunk Kholo stopped me at the door.
"Shadey no. Don't. Let the Arbiter or a high command deal with them."
I looked at Kholo. "Kholo. This is my fight let me deal with it." I moved Kholo to my side and left my bunk. They saw me outside.
"Hey look. It's the weakling, Lets get him." They charged at me and I moved to my side. As they flew by I hit one in the back of the head. Another one came up from behind me as I turned around and got hit in the face, but I showed no sighs of weakness. I hit the Elite back in the chest and then the face. I turned to the other Elite. "Wait I was just kidding!"
I spit out some blood and looked at the Elite. "If you know what's best you better leave now." The Elites got up and looked at me.
"Come on guys lets go. We have better things to do."
They turned and left me as Kholo and the Arbiter approached behind me. I turned around and looked at the Arbiter. "You did well minor." He nodded to me, "I can see good things with you."
I looked at the Arbiter as blood ran down my face. "What is it you want me to do?" I looked at Kholo, but he said nothing.
"Well.... You have shown to me that you can take down some of the big minors just by not even having anything on you. But they will be back with more. But for now I want you to train with weapons with hand to hand. You will have to fight holding a weapon a lot."
I nodded as he handed me a Plasma rifle. I stared at it, remembering that in the past I been beaten with this weapon by my father. I shook my head and looked at the Arbiter. "Ok. I'm ready." I put my gun next to my side and walked with the Arbiter to the gate as Kholo went back to his bunk.
"So Arbiter? Why is it you're here and not doing other things?"
He just kept walking and finally said something at the gate. "If you want to know. I'm trying to find some Elites to take with me into battle. The one that should be here is Shipmaster but he has to command troops so I have to be here. But I can see many things in you. If you keep up the work you might be able to be at the Prophets side." I looked at the Arbiter and nodded with a smile.
"So to the shooting range first?" I asked.
The Arbiter shook his head. "No. Your going to hit me with it." I looked at the Arbiter for a moment then nodded.
We lined up and I looked at the Arbiter. I stared at him for a moment then ran with a attack. I missed the Arbiter but as I turned around I got hit in the face and my helmet got knocked off, But I got up and charged and hit the Arbiter in the gut and hit him with my weapon in my other hand. The Arbiter stumbled as I stood there above him. The Arbiter smiled and nodded. "Nice job."
He got back up and I saw Kholo walking over. "Arbiter.... Here you have a letter!"
Kholo handed the paper to the Arbiter. As Arbiter opened it and read it I talked to Kholo. "So Kholo. How much longer do you think we have to be here?"
Kholo looked at the Arbiter. "Well looking at the Arbiter it seems like now."
I turned and looked at the Arbiter. "Shadey pack your things up. You too Kholo. I have some others to let know. You going to Earth. The human home world." I turned and looked at Kholo, surprised to be sent out so soon.
"Well..... lets get packing." Kholo nodded and we both went to are bunks and started packing up. I got done and the Arbiter came in with some better armor.
"Shadey... I know you're not ready yet but you will be. But you have been given the armor you wanted, it should provide better protection. Get it on right away and take your old one back to the gate." I nodded and as the Arbiter left I smiled.
"Well it looks like I got my armor I wanted. Asthetic is awesome" Kholo smiled as I stripped down and set the rusty old armor to the side. Shadey picked up the helmet first and looked at it.
"I cant believe I got my armor this easy. I thought it'd be harder...do you think they might be doing something special with me?"
Kholo got up and put his hand on Shadey's shoulder. "Shadey be happy you have it now. But try it on I can't wait anymore I want to see what you look like in it."
I nodded and started to strap his suit on him. He finally went to his helmet. "Well Kholo lets see what I look like." I put my helmet on and heard air come out of the holes in the side of my head, and status readings came up on display, shields and bodily stability, weapons and their charges, the active camouflage switch was off but a simple voiced command would turn it on. It was the full blown deal, an honored soldiers armor for a minor. It was an odd thing to receive so soon.
"Well how do I look?" I asked proudly, my voice masked a bit as a speaker sent it through the helmet.
Kholo's jaws dropped. "Man Shadey you look awesome! The helmet is all pointed and deadly looking."
I smiled knowing Kholo couldn't see it through the helmet. "Well lets get to the Phantom. We are leaving soon." Kholo nodded and they put there bags on there backs and walked off.
