Mansfield: (Walking up on stage and taking the microphone) First off, I just wanted to say thank you for the great effort put forth by, in my eyes, America's best soldier ever...General David Roberts..(She starts clapping as the audience claps and she shakes Roberts hand and guides him to sit) Now I want he and all of you to sit back and watch the show...First let me introduce you to (As she calls out their names they step forward and wave) Mason, Sage, Arayna, Winter, Faze, and Summer...Now for our first demonstration, I am going to ask this handsome fellow (Putting her hand on Mason's back) to unholster one of his beautiful .50 caliber modified desert eagle handguns...(Mason unholsters his gun) Now if you look at the screen that is rising behind us...(All the gaurdians jump after being startled by the rising screen behind them) you will see that we have placed a camera right in front of a target placed in the field to the left of us...Now as you can point out, without the aid of this camera I gaurantee not a one of you can see that target for it is 480 yards away from this very spot...This young gentleman is going to shoot that target using only his naked eye and his instinct...Son...(Stepping out of the way and signalling for Mason to shoot) you may fire when ready...

(Mason just looks out into the audience with the gun at his side and shakes off the stage fright...With a smirk he quickly spins, whiping his arm up and shooting without hardly an aim...The camera behind him shows the target get hit and explode into pieces...The audience starts cheering and yelling in disbelief as Mason quickly holsters his gun and gives a cocky smile.)

Mansfield: (Clapping) Now that was only the start..Son, you can go back and join your group..(Mason walks back and gets a playful push from Sage)

Sage: I have never seen somebody glowing with so much cockiness...

Mason: (Laughing) This damn lady called me son one more time I was gonna shoot her..

Mansfield: Now let me introduce you to a couple of our finest young army rangers....(Two fully uniformed army rangers step up on stage with heavy assualt rifles in their hands) They are going to help us with the next, even more impressive demonstration...

Sage: (Bumping Mason with a big smirk) You wanna see cocky, watch this...

Mansfield: Sage, would you please step forward...

Mason: (Shrugging his shoulders and looking over at Arayna) Oh, he gets Sage, I get son....

Mansfield: Now...This demonstration is not only going to show the amazing and astounding reflexes of these warriors but also the amazing material used to forge the blades they are carrying....Sage, would you kindly show us that amazing katana blade of yours...(Sage reaches behind his back and quickly unsheathes his sword, showing off as he spins it quickly in his hand) As you can see, these guys know how to use those blades..To prove that even more, if I can just move back behind the glass here....(Mansfield walks behind the huge wall of bulletproof glass that has been put up to protect the audience) Now you will all see why this glass had to be put up...(Mansfield gestures for the rangers to aim their weapons and for Sage to defend) Gentlemen, if you would...

(Sage quickly flips and twists his blade in his hand and gets back into a defensive stance...The rangers take aim and start firing their rifles....To everybody's absolute amazement, Sage begins dodging and deflecting the bullets with his blade...With a super quickness he spins and twirls the blade in front of him like a blur as bullets riccochet, some hitting off the glass in front of the audience scaring audience members back in their seats....The rangers use up an entire clip a piece and as they go empty Sage deflects the last of the bullets and in the same quick motion, spins the blade above his head and twirls it downward, lunging it through the stage, leaving it stick straight up he spreads his arms to show off....The audience goes nuts, standing and cheering...Sage pulls his blade up, twirling in in one fluid motion sheathing it behind his back again and walk back to the group)

Mason: (His arms crossed as he rolls his eyes) That was boring....

Sage: (With a big smile) Now that was fun!!! (High-fiving Faze and Arayna)

Mansfield: (jumping back up on stage very enthusiastic) Now that was quite simply amazing wouldn't you say so....And finally if you all are still not believers....

Winter: (With a calm smirk) Watch this....

Mansfield: We have to show off one of our girls...so Winter if you would please step up...(Winter confidently walks towards Mansfield, just staring at her with a very serious look and smirking as she slowly unsheathes her blade from her hip) Well, talk about looks can kill, I guess she is ready for her little challenge...Now let me introduce you to Master Shin (A young asian man dressed in monk robes steps up onto the stage and bows to the crowd) This monk master has been called the most dangerous blade expert the world has ever seen...(Mansfield steps off the stage) So whenever you two are ready...Lets just remember this is just a sparring session, no deadly blows...

(Master Shin bows to Winter as she just gives an evil smirk and brings her sword up and quickly swipes it downwards to her hip, raising her other hand and signalling with her index finger for Shin to come after her....Shin unsheathes his blade and lets out a traditional monk battle yell as he charges Winter...She just stands still without flinching....Shin quickly comes at her in a jumping spin as his sword swipes across and in a flash Winter brings up her blade in a twirl and knocks him off balance as he goes right past her after she steps out of the way...Winter just smiles at Shin as he looks back at her from his knee with anger and shock in his eyes.....Shin charges again and they both start clashing blades..With a lighting quick percision they both strike at each other....As they keep this going Shin quickly tries to sweep out Winters legs, she jumps to dodge and Shin pushes her while she is in the air knocking her down to the ground...Shin then gives Winter a smirk but quicker than he can react Winter wraps her calves around his neck and in a spinning motion throws him to the ground with her legs, in the same motion, Winter rolls over on top of him with the edge of her blade at his neck...Shin throws his hands out to surrender...The audience stands up with a huge cheer...Winter flips her blade away from his neck and sheathes it as she jumps up and lends Master Shin a hand up...He takes it as they both smile and bow to each other..Winter walks back to the group saying nothing...)

Sage: (Just staring at her and shaking his head) Really...Gotta be like that huh...

Mansfield: (Bowing to Master Shin) Thank you very much Master Shin...As you can all see, my project is going to make history...These six young ladies and gentlemen behind me are going to single handedly stop terrorism in America...As we all know, terror cells have appeared everywhere in the states and we have failed to stop it....Now any questions you may have about these six wonderful warriors you may ask General Roberts, the soldier behind the training of these kids...(Roberts just shakes his head and laughs, not wanting to answer any questions)

(As everybody starts talking and meeting with others, shaking hands with Roberts and the six, Roberts pushes people out of the way trying to get through the gathering crowd..He signals for the six kids to follow him)

Roberts: (Clapping with a smirk as they walk towards him) I saw a few flaws but it was alright I guess...(Laughing as he hugs them)

Faze: So what now Sir???

Roberts: (His eyes watering up as he looks at Summer) Well now you guys are gonna become puppets of the amazing US government...You will be their tools and take all the credit for everything you do...

Summer: Sir??? Are you ok??

Roberts: (With a deep breath) I'm gonna miss you guys...(A tear rolls down Summers cheek and tears start rolling down Winter's face as she forces a smile) Your gonna be the most dangerous and unfalable weapons ever created because your gonna wanna make me proud (He starts hugging each one of them) Am I right!?!?!

All Six: Yes Sir!!!

Roberts: (As he starts walking away turns around) Just remember what we talked about....Your not just weapons....Live your life...Just keep that part a secret...

Sage: (Shrugging his shoulders) Where is he going??

Mason: Sir!!??

Oh no, don’t leave Roberts! Lol. But seriously that was really sad, I felt for both the kids and General Roberts. He’s like their daddy; he can’t just leave like that…they’ll have abandonment issues. I really enjoyed reading Winter’s demonstration…it reminded me of the anime Bleach. Very cool Matty! I still don’t like Mansfield; there is just something about her I don’t like. It also annoys me that she takes credit for what Roberts did. I know she gave him credit at the end, but seriously…calling Manson son…she doesn’t know him. I'm glad that Mansfield isn't a main character!!

As always Mia, your terrific writing leaks out in your reviews...You'll find that something happens with Roberts that is even more hard for the kids to swallow and as for Mansfield, its funny that you dislike her character so much..You are the first to express that...She seems like a pushy person but all she wants is for her project to succeed...Maybe too much to a flaw but she ends up being a very well liked character farther into the story...Thank you so much Mia for the insightful reviews

Ah ha! A twist, I look forward to seeing what happens. As for Mansfield, I struggle to think of me ever liking her...but we shall see. It's always a pleasure Matty. I am enjoying the story and so it's a delight to follow.

Great weapon demonstration and good dialogue!

[Hester Vane]

Great as always! The Mansfield and Roberts characters are developing nicely and i am now intrigued by the six who you have introduced! The dialouge is the perfect balance between natural and still being able to tell the reader everything important! Great Job

Thank you very much....Soon Mansfield and Roberts take a backseat to those six characters...They are the main characters...Mansfield and Roberts still play big parts in their own ways but the kids are the stars...Thank you so much for the review.
