- UTO - Back to Basics - Part 3 First training

Shara carefully opened the door while keeping Eric tight to her chest. Eric wasn't complaining. One of the other trainees saw her holding it open, she thanked him and went on to sit in her usual spot. Till her still tired mind reminder she had to grab a tray. She cursed her triedness but studing was important too. These new classes were made to be difficult on many levels.

Eric felt her grumble something in annorice, likely nothing to worry about yet. Her palm falttened out as he stood up not want to leave the warmth. She tilted her hand downwards so he got off. Then the sudden smells and sounds seemed to hit him like a train.

"Grab a tray and I'll pick you up at the end, ok?" Shara gave him the run down. She figured humans had something nearly excatly like this at one point. Eric nodded too focused on food to respond verbally. Food was once such a hard thing in those dark days during the invasion, yet so much was waiting before him. One of the chiefs seemed to notice his fixation. The chief was simialar to a lion in appearence.

"You goin' to just stare at it or take some little guy?" The chief joked, he sighed knowing that look from far too many humans, starvation had been another toll on them too.

Eric snapped out of it holding himself back from grabbing it all. God, he felt so happy yet sad realizing what had happen then.

"Yeah I will, Thanks." He replied sheepishly while grabbing a tray for himself. The lion gave him a quick salute then returning back around the pots and pans inside. Eric later knew him as Bigbi but that was indeed later. He looked around at all his delious options. Nearly any human dish was there as he grabbed for pancakes, bacon and some orange juice. Just he did start every morning before the invasion, he smiled in triumph. He could still enjoy his classic breakfeast even with what he lived thought. Finally coming to the end he balenced his tray with two hands not wanting to waste any food.

"Isn't that a lot for a person as small as you are?" Shara asked a bit starttled by how hungry he was. Eric just laughed like it was really nothing. She lowered her tray so he could sit in one of it's smaller indentations.

"Not really, I was nearly starving for nine months and I pray never to again. I'm enjoying every bit of this long awaited reward." Eric knew what he was talking about. Too many had died lacking basic survival items and training only lead to more death usually being a long painful one.

She went back to her spot finally able to truly enjoy their first meal together as Guardian and Charge. A few other started to sit along side Shara, most friends or other new Guardian. They likely wanted help in training after knowing how well she'd done months ahead with exprience to boot. Eric was far to busy biting into a pancake to notice her friends at that moment. He did hear one of those friends giggling above him.

"What?" Eric muffly said annoried looking up. He was the huge snout of a what seemed to be a cat to him. His response with a mouth full seemed to only make them all giggle a little harder. Eric then ignored them focusing on his food, for him it tasted just perfect, like like how Emily would've done them. Shara looked down seeing Eric stop lost in a thoughts.

"You ok Eric?" She was always conerned for him, Emily always was. He shook his mind clearing it of the memories.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." He then looked down at his food almost feeling he had lost his appite, keyword almost. Finishing his meal Eric hadn't felt that full and good in months. The feline seemed to br apoligizing to Shara over the moment but she polietly took him he did nothing wrong. The gray cat hadn't, just his own mind had tricked him again. Jackson's dangling boots were a welcomed surpise for Eric. He looked up seeing Jackson smiling his cheekly grin like they were in high school all over again.

"Hey stupid!" He hollared. Eric Laughed at him. The two had finally reconnected and all it took was some alien invasion and another alien program. Time had truly flown out the window since then or that's how it seemed to them both.

The black Lupine male from before was too preoccupied with someone next to him to notice them right then. Jackson pulled in closer slipping something out of one of the jacket's many pockets. A sliver dog whisle was what he showed Eric. The two both manichally laughed knowing this may be cuerl but likely halarouis as a story later.

Jackson blew it once, his Guardian seemed to look down in seconds flat as so did Shara. They were the only two cannine like speices close enough likely but Eric almost choked on his orange juice laughing.

The two Lupine knew that high pitched sound knowing it came from somewhere. But they shurgged it off as maybe something random till it happened again.

Eric and Jackson nearly rolling on the ground laughing couldn't keep it in for much longer. The lizard looking over made both of the humans freeze out of sudden fear. She a Sissach but they same speices as the Raynar still so their reaction was common. Lisa as she prefered being called was very much so a newbie to this whole program but she likely had the most expirence she wasn't going to immiate it. Now she did know and openly told many of the more preditor like aliens to hide their fangs or teeth around humans for this reason of fear.

"HI there! I'm Lisa!" The Sissach said as Eric and Jackson came out of their shock. Both laughed nervously as they got up. A few other Charges seemed to be laughing at them for their reactions but all in good fun as it was.

"Eric and this here is Jackson." Eric announced it as Jackson just stood there likely pissing his pant mentally. He then nugged Jackson's arm with his elbow. Jackson looked at him with a glare as the other laughed a little. Seemed most had likely not taken so well to something looking alike to a Raynar accually being an alley. Two other were chatted by the tables end looking over just saying to the Charges as they continued talking on about something, likely medince from their redcross bands and white attire.

Most Charges knew they were to have training after their breakfeast but worried over how the size diffences would be overcomed. It was to be a training simulation of something nobody knew just yet anyhow. Soon the Guardians finished eating themselves as their Charges meigalled with each other. Soon enough then moring bell sounded off singaling breakfeast was over with many others groaning or not wanting to start the day. Guardians got their Charges and placed the trays into the cleaning bins. Most couldn't wait for the first real training under the UTO military. A few including Eric were more secpitical on how today would go.

Shara and many other Guardians couldn't wait to see how the Charges would react or think about their vitural reality systems. Humans had something very basic with VR but this was a full body simulator able to do nearly everything needed and more. The Guardians went into the simulation building seeming like some super sci fi computer room to the humans. The Sim pods seemed to make a few Charges nervous mostly due to a lack of understanding. But most kinds seemed to enjoy the simulator once they played around with it. She kept thinking of what new simulation humans would add to it.

Eric couldn't believe how many wires, computer and whatever those holding tubes were for seemed like something out of
starterk or something. He felt nervous of what was coming before he asked his question.

"Um, what are we doing here?" He asked up to Shara, she giggled just head on towards the smaller catwalk. She uncupped him showing off even more of the room with the catwalk. Eric then felt amazed thinking of what it could be also seeing smaller holding tubes. He just felt confused yet had some ideas of what it could be. He got up slowly going onto the human sized catwalk.

"Propely some kind of simulator or some super computer?" He took a geuss and seemed to be right or stupid close by her surpised yet happy smile.

Then the digtial blue fox would appear starttling Eric a little. Of course this had been happening all day for most humans unaware or knowing of sentiate AIs. He was the blue fox as he looked up getting back onto his feet. The AI lended a hand as Eric tried to grab it, it slipped right through it. Eric then realized what his brain was proccessing finally came into words.

"Wow." was all Eric could really say amazed to meet a real AI of all things.

Tadashi had seem very used to this reaction from humans understanding that they hadn't seen or used semitent AIs yet but adapted very well. He smiled at this new Charge as others were coming in surely.

"Thanks for lending a head." Eric joked while making this AI fox laugh too. How could evryone be just so kind, his mind kept thinking it was some trap yet his heart knew it was honest and ture still. Shara was happy Eric wasn't too freaked out as others started to get ready. Their Head Officer in charge of this program group, Fistisa Rimbincosh came in leading everyone else in, she was a decorated Sissich comifently strutting in.

"Hello Shara, Charge Eric." She was striaght forward to the point as she was. Both saluted as Tadashi started looking at holograms likely setting up their training.

"Please place your Charges over here while you all go to your assigned pod everyone." The Officer was happy seeing everyone followed her orders well. They were all getting ready for their simulation training, it was an endless trainer able to make all enviroments and items tailored made for any senario. It was a perfect way to see just how humans could perform. Tadashi helpped the humans get ready in their own pods and they would all meet in the well know 'White room' or what human players camed a 'start room' by them.

Jackson walked over to his pod still playing around with his holowatch finally looking up seeing Eric. They had pods right next to each other.

"See you on the other side brother." Eric joked. Jackson nodded smiling seeing the door open then lying down. The pods were stupid comfy by most human standards as Eric settled in his own seat placing on the visor. Closing his eyes he awoke standing up seemingly fully up able. Looking around seeing the group of alien and humans standing around in front of two Officers. He ran over trying to find Jackson or Shara in the crowd. Tadashi seemed to be in the middle wearing an iconic human uniform, it was a plain tan British Generals attire adoned with a few shining metals. A few Bristish their and many others geussed this would be a older war. Likely something chaotic 'World War' or some other battlefield.

"So today you all will get to part take in a war simulation. It is one most of you humans likely know well but I'll know soon enough." Tadashi was smiling ready to show off his latest creation of history, he truly loved history and humans had a lot of it well documented too with footage and acounts lucky saved by backup systems.

The room faded into a landscape of a hellscape well known by most humans, a classic setup for treach warfare. Every soldier looked at their suddenly changed uniforms being now the tan standard uniform of the British and Americans with packs. Yet no rifles or sidearms for use or any blades to use. The few British there were ready, they knew their history and this hellish war.

"I hope your all ready for this eviroment, This will be one great trial." The blue fox was pleased seeing that some knew where they were headed as other didn't. Just then everything seemed to go black for everyone's eyes with a few paniciked or nervous. Then the treachline was around them, they were in it.

Eric found Shara all wearing the same uniforms. Loud booms and artillery screamed over head. The smells of blood, mud and dispear were nearly overwhelming for a creature like Shara yet Eric seemed more scared peaking a look ahead over the treach's wall facing their enemy. It also seemed most had rilfes with sidearms and helments. An Officer's wishtle blew grabbing all soldiers to look at the Officer Sissich seemingly annoried by how a few humans were chukling over some small joke then shutting up by her death stare.

Jackson came up from behind scaring her a bit as a few over dared laughed as he joined the group of soldiers. She held her sliver wishle with some anger over being mocked.

"All of you! Form a firing line!" She barked out her orders as humans started to rush towards the wooden ladders readied for what had to be happening. A few Guardians slowly started to realize in fears of what they come. Jackson stayed behind as Rimbincosh blew her wishle repidly singaling the forward attack. They were heading over the wire, all of them expet for Jackson himself staying there not even phased by the shouts and mass runing of soldiers up the wooden muddly walls onto the wet lands beyond it.

A few other humans haden't gone over the wire, even a few soldier didn't not leaving their Charges behind. Jackson started something and his Officer did not at all approve of it.

"The rest of you go on over!" She ordered Jackson walked over pulling out a ciggratte lighing it with a match. Jackson held a stern expression nearly madder then the Officer.

"Then you join us, that's fair." Jackson held himself firm standing infront of her. He knew how one back Officer cost lives, how one coward could deside victory or death. The Raynar taught him that, cowards held no purpose in war or elsewhere. She was logically shocked that someone as new as him would dare defie her.

"AS your comonding Officer you will go up first then the others." She wouldn't stand for this mutiny, not again anyhow. He would obby her orders. Artillery fired again as now gunfire followed after on with scream, yells and the other sounds of warfare. The canarge of hell.

"You join us and I'll go up and over that wire." He was confident hoping maybe she'd understand his postion on such a matter. Jackson had done some research knowing something others would've make most see Rimbincosh as a monster but he knew a simalar pain from the invasion.

"I'm NOT allowing this! You can't just overturn my own Supiority!" She Stompped in anger not wanting to do such an unnessary request from someone who had nearly no training from the UTO or any true military training, no honor.

"You want to know when human honor died? Let a human show you why it died here." He was serious in his tone lending out a hand readied to jump over the wooden wall able to lift her up ready. He wanted her to see what hell they were capiable of.

Her strong stance seemed to sightly weaken. The Officer acclutly took the humans dirty hand with her claw. Jackson grinned knowing she had truly changed for the better from what was likely a bitter past once instict. They rose over the wire and a war cry rang out over the desimated field littered with shell ceators.

"OVER THE WIRE!" The soldiers screamed following their follow brothers and sisters in arms already ahead striking with gunfire. The Sisschian Officer ran alongside with the human Captian not knowing what was happening. The orchistra of battle was a well known music of the soldiers ears. The two running low finally got to cover in a ceator, their backs down on the ground breathing heavily. Jackson looked over to see her scared face in horror.

He just sat there sternly. "This is where our honor died, but never our pride!" Jackson yelled over the shelling explotions chambering a round freash in his rifle. His mad smile and laughter gave her pure terror.

"WE WILL FIGHT TO HELL'S GATE!" He screamed running out of cover firing his weapon. Rimbincosh soon followed suit screaming more in terror then a warcry but she had nothing of armor but an Officer's revolver and kinfe. She would never underestimate humanity every again because of their size, their common knowledge of war was terrorizing enough for her.
