New Guy, Uh Girl (Kessendra Teague)

Ah, evaluation day. The one day of the year on Fondor when every ODF infantry battalion sent their best soldiers to be evaluated by Pyre recruiters and to pick the best ten to join the Pyre. This wasn't the main way Pyre forces recruited their soldiers, most of them were recruited the way ODF soldiers were recruited, though the selection process was more severe. Evaluation Day was more of a way for the ODF to show off the best of the their soldiers, most of them even decided to stay with their original units, though a good five percent joined the Pyre. But to digress, Noah sat in a observation booth, his eyes were drawn towards one female soldier, a captain by the rank on her armor, which seemed to be a specialized armor, Noah had seen it before on snipers and scouts. "Lieutenant, bring me the file on that soldier." Noah ordered a nearby junior officer who nodded and quickly walked away to find the file on the soldier.

It was grueling and intense and to be honest, she had forgotten why she had even signed up for evaluations in the first place.

The sound of metal shattering against metal reverberated in the amplifiers within her helmet as the pipe shattered against the back of her armor. She groaned and buckled down, hitting the ground to her knees with a harsh thud, catching herself quickly only to be jerked up by her throat with a piece of the pipe long enough to choke her out. She could barely make out the sound of the whistle over the breathing noise of the rather large man in her ear. "Little girl, this type of stuff is for men..." He said with ragged breath and a click of the communication piece in his helmet. Kessendra brought her hands up to grab the bar, struggling to keep it away from her windpipe as she gasped for air. Soft alarms rang in her ears causing even more distortion in her head as her vision began to blur, the vital sign sensors going off the chart as her heart began beating rapidly. Her mind was racing as she struggled to figure out a way out of the situation she was in.

The man didn't care about fighting honorably, hell this wasn't what it was about. It was about winning, and he would take this woman out after she had embarrassed him infront of his pals. The judge kept blowing the whistle and yelling for the match to end and despite it all, the larger armored man continued his assault on trying to suffocate her. People began yelling down into the pit for Kessendra to give, but she couldn't...not like this. Despite the excessive noise, the flashing red of her visor in her vision and blurriness, she slipped her right hand down and brought it into an exposed portion of his leg in between the places. "K..ni..fe" She gasped through her helmet and the voice recognition acknowledged swiftly and deployed the combat knife from her gauntlet.

The explosion of the canister alone as it deployed the knife was enough to cause the man to buckle backwards and shove her forwards with the remnants of the pipe, her knife clanked to the ground harmlessly as she fell face first to the permacrete. She gasped loudly for air as the man howled in pain behind her. She began coughing loudly, her vitals slowing down as she rolled onto her back. "...Gah...!" It was all she could manage to say as the crowd quieted down from protests of stopping the fight to encouraging them to finish. Kessendra just laid there for a moment, knowing atleast for a brief second the man was rolling around on the ground...crying about his shin.

Oh she would feel this one in the morning indeed.

"Colonel we have-" One of Noah battalion commanders, a major, began to say as he stood, nearly knocking his chair. He was stopped as Noah threw up his hand to shut him up and to tell him not to talk to him. The major then readjusted his seat and sat with a huff, he was clearly angry about Noah not stopping the fight, but decided not to contradict his commanding officer. "These evaluations are designed to bring out the best in the soldiers, if these evals aren't near death as we can make it, their useless. So that means unless someone is actually killed, these evals aren't stopped. But I've got faith in captain Teague." Noah informed his underlings as he stood and walked out of the observation room and towards the edge of the ring to watch the match. He was dressed in the standard OACA Mk I armor, the only thing that really made him stand out was the Corek Custom Revolving Slugthrower that was in the holster on his thigh plate, many soldiers recognized the weapon and gave him a salute, due to the fact that all soldiers in the Protectorate knew it was his trademark weapon.

She rolled onto her side and heaved a heavy raspy sigh, each breath she took was raspy. Her gloved hand came down with a loud clang against the permacrete as she pressed herself up to her knees again, trying to regain her composure. She could hear the other man rustling behind her still, groaning. Slowly, she came to her feet, stumbling forward a bit to hit the edge of the ring with a loud panging noise. The vital sign signals within her suit began normalizing despite the raspy breathing echoing in her ears, she turned to look upon the man as he too was regaining his composure and standing up.

Man, was he larger than she anticipated...had to be atleast a good six to seven inches taller than her. He sure did fit in that Mark II Heavy well, of course size didn't matter, it was all about speed. Speed was something she was good at, with a quick push off the wall, she charged at him. The sound of metal against metal echoed through the ring as she yelled a bellowing battle cry as she came up to him and impacted him harshly. The sound of the two suits smashing into each other was enough to make even the strongest of soldiers cringe. She continued to cry out as she lifted the heavier man as much as she could, despite his protests and attempt to free himself. Her left arm was hooked around his back and her hand gripped tightly onto one of the armored plates while her right arm was pressed against his chest plate, hand death gripping the top portion. Although she didn't lift him but maybe more than an inch, it was enough to accomplish what she needed. With a quick sweep forward and down, she slammed the massive body of the larger man into the permacrete.

The impact alone caused the transparisteel windows encasing the ring to shake lightly and send vibrations around the edge of the ring. A stunned silence fell over the ring as she laid ontop of the man, breathing heavy. Oh she ached, every fiber of her being was hurting but she couldn't stop. Her right hand unlatched itself from his chest armor, shaking as it came down to withdraw her side-arm and bring it up to bear against the exposed part of his chin. "Done...." She said through gritted teeth, a pain shooting up her left arm as it remained pinned underneath the massive form of the man beneath her.

The only response she heard before she passed out was the sound of the judge blowing the whistle....

Noah nodded his head in silent awe as he saw Captain Teague take out the larger man with speed instead of strength. He had to admit, it took a pro to recognize that she could use her speed to take out the man before he could respond. Noah stepped into the ring and waved the medics away, he walked over to the Captain and tapped on her faceplate. When she didn't respond, Noah chuckled as he saw she was unconicious, due to this, Noah slung her over his shoulder and began walking to the infirmary, of course some might have found it weird, but many of the Pyre soldiers knew that Noah liked to care of his soldiers himself, it was his way of showing them he cared. After a few minutes of walking with the captain over his soldier, he found the infirmary and set Teague down in a bed, stripped her down to her bodysuit and then sat down in the chair next the bed, waiting for the captain to wake up so he could speak with her.

 

[The Spark]

It didn't take long for her to come to, a groan coming from her as she sat up slightly in the bed. A gloved hand coming to her forehead as she fell slightly forward. Her head was pounding, as if a thousand war-drums were beating all at once in the depths of her mind. "I'm not quite sure what happened there...."

Noah had been dozing a bit, having been not getting much sleep lately when he was awoken by a voice, female by the sound of it. "You kicked the ass of one of the biggest guys I've ever seen come through selection, your lucky to be alive captain." Noah informed her as he stood and grabbed two things from a nearby tray, one being a painkiller and the other being a cup of water. Noah set these in front of her and indicated what to do with them.
