Today is your final exam at the AROC academy, a hand to hand combat trial is about to commence. Many eyes are upon you, mostly veteran AROC members and judges. Your opponent is Todd, he was always bigger than you, and never liked you much during the years in the academy. With eyes of fury, he reminds you the time he's beaten you once before, but things are different now, you have grown into a formidable fighter yourself.

"Don't worry, I'll make this quick and painful, just like the old times." Todd grins at you with a hint of pleasure.

You remain silent.

With the ring of the bell, the trial battle begins, Todd launches himself at you like a catapult. For a split moment, you are surprise by how such a large mass is able to move at such speed. The years of concentrated physical training has really paid off for Todd. Quickly you snap back to reality and react, what will you do?

A Wait until the last moment to see what sort of attack Todd will throw at me to decide on my next move.
B Attempt to jump out of the way, dodging whatever trick he's about to pull.
C Stand my ground firmly, ready to defend myself with the oncoming assault.
D Evade Todd's charge and launch a counter attack myself.

(You say he has a lot of mass, do we have that too?)

I will pick D

(By the way, what is an AROC Academy?)

(the lore will let you know slowly dont worry)

You sidestep as fast as you could, but due to how early you move, Todd had enough time to redirect himself to your new position.

Todd swings his fist hard to your face, the blow meant for your jaw whizz by in a blur of knuckles. From the corner of your eyes, you see Todd's other arm begins an upward swing, you duck this time, and feel your hair ruffle with force. you spot an opening at Todd's abdominal area. You have a split moment to react:

A Left jab his stomach.
B Knee him in the stomach
C Kick him in the stomach

A

Todd takes it hard in the stomach, his face display signs of pain, but disconnects with his movements as he continues to lunge punches at you.

You block and back away. Minutes pass with no real contact and you begin to feel the pressure of the judges watching.

Avoidance is fine, but you knew it would not win you this fight.

You decide to go on the offensive, putting the pressure on Todd, for you are not as weak as you once were.

You lashed out, aiming for every opportunity of taking down your opponent.

Todd avoids one flying fist only to collide with the other.

not letting Todd recover, you land several combos of punches and kicks to his face. He drops to the ground like a log.

(Prologue)

It's the year 2058, you never really found out what happened to your parents, but you were an orphan for as long as you can remember. At the age of 3, the government selected you for a small group of secret forces code named "AROC" (Augmented Reconnaissance and Operations Corp). All AROC members were Recruited before the age of 5 and begins a regimental disciplinary training at the age of 6.

Are you male or female ? (Won't change the storyline)

A Male
B Female

There are sooo many stories where the protagonist is Male so lets bring some new stuff.

B
We are female.

What is your Name? (No silly stuff....please.)

Caroline

You will be known as Initiate Caroline. The AROC academy allows you to choose one augmentation upon passing the graduation combat trial, which augmentation do you prefer?

A Arm augmentation: increases strength.
B Leg augmentation: allows you to move quicker and stealthier.
C Head augmentation: increases brain processing speed and memory, also improving situational awareness.

C of course!

As you line up for lunch at the canteen, you can already taste the uninspired pasta in the air. A scent teases your nose, not the pasta, a fresh smell, like skin just out from a shower.

"That was some nice moves you pulled on Todd today Caroline." said Catherine as she gracefully stalks up behind you.

Catherine Flynn, normally, a person would be startled by her, but you have gotten used to Catherine's sneaky ways, her tiny yet beautiful thin stature allows her to accel in stealth. Despite her tiny size, she is a very capable fighter. You were there for her battle trial. She doesn't rely on sheer strength, instead uses an agile and artistic style of combat, performing leaps and jumps around her opponents, distracting them then defeating them. Suddenly you're reminded how lucky you were to not having picked to face her in the final exam, it would have been impossible to take her down. Needless to say, she also won her combat trial.

"I'm just glad I didn't have to fight you, and honestly, I wasn't sure I was able to beat Todd either, he's gotten even stronger."

"Well, he sure isn't happy with you now that he doesn't get an augmentation for graduation." Catherine glimpse over to the table where Todd is sitting. You look up too, and connects with Todd's eyes, he turns away, face burning red in resentment.

"Ya, he was just delighted to see me before all this." You reply sarcastically

Those that lost the graduation battle do not receive an augmentation as reward. You think back and feel pretty good about your accomplishment.

"Which augmentation did you pick Catherine?" You ask as both of you sit down with food.

"I picked the leg enhancement, focusing on what I'm already good at." As graceful and pleasant to look at, Catherine can still eat like a pig, that's something you could never get used to.

"Remind me to get out of your way if we end up doing missions together." You reply

"Don't worry, I'll be gone before you sneeze."

"What's up guys?" Felix and Robby joins our table.

With a big pen stuck on his ear, and glasses the size of oranges, anybody would categorize Felix as a nerd on first sight. His intelligence is unquestionable, but there's not much else going for him.

Robby on the other hand, is a bit older than the rest of us, he's been on a several missions already, but you wouldn't call him a veteran yet.

"Hey Catherine." Robby said with a big smile showing his teeth like a goofy cartoon character.

It's obvious he has a crush on Catherine, but she doesn't think much of it.

You spend majority of the day talking and enjoying the company of the group.

On your way back to your dorm, you bump into Captain Maxwell. He is a honorable man, his battle years are long behind him, now more of a role model for the youth.

"Congratulations on your trial victory Caroline." Maxwell says as he walks past you.

"Thank you sir."

"I expect nothing less on your field performance initiate." He says as he walks away.

"Yes sir."

This reminds you that you should probably go over the archives regarding the current conflicts and gears to prepare yourself for your first real mission in 2 days time.

Back in your room, you fire up the computer,

B. Let´s find out what this is all about.

With the constant economic downturn and conflicts, the United States had officially lost its super power title in the year 2032.

Russia and China has risen together and created the New Unified Communist Party (NUCP), they have dominated most of Asia and parts of Europe in terms of economy and political influence, they are the undisputed new super power.

Without the harassment from the United States, the ISIS terrorist seized almost all of the middle east continent. The oil production in Saudi Arabia and other natural resources in the region are now all under ISIS control. Their massive increase of wealth has a devastating effect on all democratic nations. They renamed themselves as Holy Islamic Liberation Organization (HILO).

In a desperate effort to maintain balance, NATO has created the Augmented Reconnaissance and Operations Corp (AROC) to counter the new threats.

Agent Caroline:

Our Intel has recently learned that NUCP is preparing to launch a new type of prototype gunship against HILO. It's set to operate in the next few weeks. While we are happy to see HILO suffer, we cannot permit such an increase of power in the NUCP. We will be inserting your group to obtain intel on the gunship design, capture one for our research and destroy the remainder prototypes. Details will be given by Captain Maxwell prior to mission commence.
