As the battle raged on, the Azrian ships from orbit started to come down. Bombarding the cruisers with their machine guns and missiles, and the 2nd cruiser appeared. It fired its cannon destroying the area beneath them, and started to land. But then everything stopped, like time it self froze. The only thing anyone could do was look around with their eyes. The fighters were stuck in place, the cruiser cannon fired and the bullet was just about out of the ship, and it stayed there. There was a bright light, that engulfed the entire area, it was so blinding that everyone’s eyes started to tear, when it was over everything was gone, except for the one cruiser on the ground. Everything else, disappeared, like it never existed.
Kenny woke up, with 4 Azrians next to him, they were in some forest, birds were chirping, and the sun was shining. Kenny sat up and looked around, his clothes were different, dark blue with the Azrian symbol on the right shoulder, laced with yellow, and was wearing military boots.
“God damn” he said as he checked his waist to see a belt with a gun holder, but the gun handle was so different, he opened it, the blade was a triangular design, that was in front of the handle, instead of on top, it had an inscription, “once an Azrian, always an Azrian” he studied it for a moment, then returned it. He knocked one of the sleeping men on the head, waking him up instantly with a yelp, causing the rest to wake up, in a cranky mood.
All looked around with the same confused look as Kenny. They too noticed they were wearing different clothes, and the 12 inch weird knife that they were armed with. As the looked at Kenny who was the oldest he gave them a weird look.
“Don’t look at me” he yelled.
“sir what do we do now?” asked one of them as he helped the other 2 up.
“I have no clue.” He responded as he stood up himself and dusted off.
Off in a small clearing there was Shiv and 6 other Azrians, and a few people he has never seen before. He stood up and looked at his new clothes, but his wasn’t blue it was grey.
“Hey just my color” he said as he looked at the blade.
“Nice I love it” he smiled as he looked at his fellow azrians who were wearing blue.
“why do you get the grey?” asked one of them as they got up.
“I don’t know, but hey it works” Shiv replied. The four unknown had different symbols, which had different numbers, and they were looking at Shiv and the Azrians with looks of curiosity, not fear. One even poked him, making sure he was even real.
“can I help you?” asked Shiv
“You fell from the sky, how did you live?” one of them asked
“I don’t know” said Shiv with concern.
On the river bank, mason was already up, and drinking the water. He was with Cold hand, and 5 others, all of which were under his command during the battle. As he examined the milieu, he noticed that all of his men were wearing blue, except for him, which was grey, like Shiv’s. He was surprised of all that had happened, and tried to figure out where they were, and why they were sent here. As he was pondering, there was a loud horn sound, which made everyone jump. It also woke everyone up who was still asleep all throughout the area. As they drowsily got up, the horn was sounded once again.
“I wonder if we are supposed to follow it” said Shiv as he tried to find the general direction if the sound. Mason had already decided to follow it, with his men behind him they followed the river up stream. Kenny’s group was jumping from tree to tree, picking up Azrians on the way who were heading in the same direction. It began to grow with each tree they jumped to. Shiv’s group was taking a stroll, taking their time to reach their destination because they were a bit skeptical about the whole thing. The horn blew once more, and it was Czar, his group was in the 30’s, all just sitting around waiting for their comrades. 4 appeared wearing blue, another appeared but he was wearing black and he was with one with red. As these two joined the party, overhaul came in with more, Santosh came with 3, and they kept coming. The horn blew once more, it was Alex, Czar’s right hand man. AS it blew, Mason’s group came running in, with 15, and Kenny was right behind him with 12. They saw all the Azrians sitting in the meadow and joined. Each color uniform sat next to each other, it seemed that the color was the different ranks. As they were in their groups, Czar in gold stood in front of them looking at the well over 200 azrians. He looked into the crowd to see anxious, scared, confused, excited, faces, all of which looking at his. He knew nothing of what was going on, and he had no answers to give. It was now silent; they were waiting for him to say something. He wiped the sweat above his eyes, and then took a deep breathe.
“Hello fellow Azrians, I know you must have questions, but I am afraid that I have no answers. We do not know where we are, or how we got here, the clothes and weaponry are also a mystery to us.” Czar stopped, something was coming out of the trees. Shiv’s group had arrived, with the 4 strangers. As Shiv looked around he noticed that he had interrupted something, he coughed and sat down, and everyone else with him did too.
“Could you be any later?” asked Czar as he waved at him.
“Sorry sir” replied Shiv as he had a small coughing fit, and overhaul slapped his back of couple of times. Now that everyone seemed to be here and accounted for, everyone again looked at Czar. There was another blinding light, and a voice unlike any other was heard.
“The test will now begin…………….
