Blazing Dragon Squad arrived just in time as Training Officer Shadis smirked fondly as he saw the six sprinting over to him. Ester saluted at him quickly followed by her squad. Shadis nodded,

     "At ease Commander Randor, the cadets are ready,"

    Ester nodded and smirked,

    "So, if any of them are disrespectful permission to kick them?"

    Shadis chuckled and nodded,

    "Of course,"

    Ester smiled brightly,

    "Thank you Shadis,"

    Javier was the first to enter the stage. All the cadets saluted as Shadis introduced,

    "This is Soldier Javier Nickson, Creative one of the Blazing Dragons"

    Javier smirked and nodded at them. Quin entered next, Shadis gestured to him,

    "This is soldier Quin Rodriguez, Best cadet at the canon in a long time, the one with the heavy ammo out of the Blazing Dragons"

    Damion came in and Shadis nodded at him,

    "This is soldier Damion Sanchez, the best sniper of the Blazing Dragons," 

    Billy came out next, Shadis smirked at him,

    "This is Billy Wilson, brains of the Blazing Dragon, also expert climber,"

    Nikki came out and everyone gasped at seeing a girl, she along with Shadis glared at the cadets,

    "This is Nikki Jackson, if you piss her off you better make sure she doesn't have any playing cards in her hand, second in command of the Blazing Dragons,"

    Some cadets whispered but kept silent. Shadis nodded,

    "Next up is the Blazing Dragons founder and youngest commander,"

    Ester walked on with a giant smirk on her face and eyes stone-cold, calculating and looking at the cadets. Everyone was in an uproar, shocked that the infamous commander of the Blazing Dragons was a girl. Ester glared,

    "If anyone thinks they are better than me, please stand up on stage,"

    One kid stood up and walked on the stage,

    "How can you be the youngest commander if you're a girl? I betcha you fucked the general to get your position,"

    Shadis held back her comrades as they glared at the boy in fury. Ester remained composed,

    "What is your name, Cadet,"

    The kid glared,

    "Liam Diason,"

    Ester nodded and turned to the cadets staring in suspense,

    "I will be using Cadet Diason as an example of what happens if you doubt people who have been through way more than you idiots can imagine,"

    Liam glared and smirked,

    "What you gonna do? Kiss me?"

    Ester glared at him,

    "No."

    Ester immediately punched him in the face and before he could recover, she grabbed his wrist and judo flipped him, and restrained his arm behind his back. She leaned in close to his ear,

    "If you ever fucking doubt me or anyone on my team again, I will send you home quicker than you can say dog...understood cadet?"

    Liam quickly nodded. Ester got up off of him and looked at his peers,

    "If any of you thinking being kiss-ups is going to get you anywhere in the army, just go the fuck home, you don't know shit. I am not doing this to scare you, my squad and I are trying to prepare you for what's to come. Training is brutal, some of you will coward away after the first day, some after a few weeks, some maybe even months from now. So get the fuck ready and don't show any disrespect to your fellow mates."

    Everyone quickly nodded and saluted at her in fear. Ester nodded swiftly. Javier walked up to her,

    "And if any of you even THINK about showing any disrespect to any girls then you will get a free trip to the infirmary,"

    Shadis almost smiled as everyone nodded quickly in fear, he knew that he picked the right squad to be the ones to start their training off.

The Next Day

    Ester smiled as she got up at 4 a.m. She immediately nodded at her squadmates when she saw them getting up too. Damion smirked,

    "Those cadets don't know what's gonna hit them,"

    Ester chuckled and nodded,

    "You right man, you right,"

    Nikki smirked,

    "Yo Flare, can we get them up now?"

    Ester nodded,

    "Yeah, Sling get the horns, Canon and Snipes get the bags ready for the run, Ace with me, Climber go with Sling."

    They all separated. Ester smiled when she heard the blow horns waking all the cadets as they got out of the tents looking grumpy. Ester smirked,

    "Good morning cadets! Today starts the first day of training! So get your lazy asses changed because we are going for our mile runs!"

    Everyone wanted to groan but no one wanted to anger the commander so they all got changed and ready for the run.

Two Days Later

    All of the cadets were used to the odd special ops squad of the Blazing Dragons. Liam immediately apologized after the first day and Ester forgave him. Everyone got along with each other now, they all acted as a huge ass team. Shadis just got a message from the general and winced when he read it. He immediately ran inside the mess hall,

    "Attention!"

    Everyone stopped eating and stood up and saluted at their training officer. Shadis nodded for them to at ease. Shadis looked around,

    "Blazing Dragon Squad to center!"

    The group of six immediately got to the center, Shadis sent them a small sad look,

    "I received word that all of you are needed for a battle."

    All the cadets looked at the six in sadness, they all liked the six. Ester felt a pang of hurt, but she nodded bravely,

    "Alright, sir. Dragons, with me,"

    The six immediately left the hall and went to pack the small amount that they brought. Javier patted her shoulder,

    "I'm sorry Flare, I know you wanted to spend more time with your twin and family,"

    Ester smiled at him and nodded,

    "It's alright Sling...let's just get going so we can get back ASAP,"

    And so, that is when they all left, leaving behind inspired cadets, especially one cadet named Liam Diason.
