Chapter 5: The New Recruit

As the small pod enters a large aircraft of the shape of an island. John opens his eyes as he is lifted up by a huge man that he earlier saw. As he glances he sees thousands of black armored men with guns and shielded helmets.”

Why you rookie!”shouts gawwd as he sees John. “Ok gawwd. Thats enough.” Says Paula. “So do want to be recruited tough guy” asks Charlie.

“You entered my head. Don’t you know my name” says John.

“No I only care about the protectors. So are you in?” asks Charlie. “Do I have a choice?” Says John.

“No you are branded as an offering by the master. So you are a protector henceforth” Says charlie.

“The master?” As John touches his bow he begins to remember the voices of a man and a woman. “Is he a man or a woman? I heard their voice, Although I don’t remember much not even my name or my place”John replies. “That bow will certainly aid you to bring back your memory. For now we will call you Bullseye as you can wield that bow.” Says charlie.

“Fine I’m in. But can you tell me more about this in details”Says John”Paula is the Commander of the protectors. She will tell you about everything that is to know here. “Says charlie as he leaves. “Ok can one of you please tell me about this. I will be calm”John asks. “You are one of us now. You, I, Paula, Darr, Baruto and Gawwd are the six protectors under the leader Charlie” says Paul.

“And what about those black armored men” John asks.

“Those are the commandos recruited by Charlie. They are our infantry. They dont have any powers like us. They are trained soldiers from different planets. All of them volunteered by passing a test made by Charlie. Every test there is a recruit of 500. There are 10,000 of them now. Now listen carefully. A small number of them like 2-20 can be leaded by a leftuinant who is chosen from among them. “ Says Paul.

“Who choses The leftuinant”asks John. “The Captain, that’s one of us excluding Paula ofcourse who’s is our commander. We can lead 1000 each from the commandos when required in a mission. And Paula can lead all of them as she is in second command to charlie. Darr was one of the commandos before. When I was recruited he was one of the pilots of the commandos. But charlie promoted him to a protector as he knows all the way and everything that is to know about the cosmos. He can help you to search your planet from the database if you remember your planet that is” Says Paul. “Ok so what is this mission and what we do” asks john.

“We along with the commandos protect the people of different planets who hire us and also kill “ Says Paul.

“So we are mercenaries?” John asks.

“No Bullseye. Can I call you that? Well somewhat analogous but we only protect and attack under Charlie’s command” Says Paul. “Who’s he under” asks John.

“Well there are the masters and the protectors. The masters are the ones who command the protectors’ leaders. The Master who branded you offered Charlie you as a protector. But however he commands Charlie.” Says Paul.
