“Ready? Onward…March!” General Worshawski commanded.
All the other soldiers gathered their guns and prepared for combat. Sweat dripped of my face and my fingers were clammy. For the first time in forever, I was actually nervous! The last time I was nervous, I was being taken away from my family. Ever since they found out I carried the virus that made me a super soldier. The screams and cries still ring in my ears. That was then. This is now. Snapping out of my flashback, I gripped my gun even more tightly. We were headed towards the Outer Provinces. The rebellion was starting to take over near the Outer Provinces. We were ordered to attack their capital, Osu.

My body automatically responded to the finding the closest hiding place there. Behind the giant capital building, the hover-ship lands, and soldiers come pouring out. I should be one of them. When I was 5, my mother told me to keep my identity hidden, because there was a world out there that would take me to be a soldier. That I would never see her again. My mother took my face and looked me in eyes. Her face looked weary and her eyes looked more urgent than ever.
