chapter 25

The man grabs Big Bill by his shirt collar while Billy and Susie yell at the official.

Billy and his family had killed the government workers that attacked their farm and hid their bodies in the nearby canyon.

Big bill spoke,"Billy you are way too hot-headed! We will have payback for your wrath. We are the past the point of no return! We have a lot of repenting to do."

Kill Joy had been born into a family of doctors and other medical experts. They never flaunted

their wealth and treated all those who could not afford medical treatment. Both of his parent's were doctors and they lower upper class. They could had been richer but they always picked the poorest area to work in. The Joys were in the helping profession and they believed they must do no harm.

Kill Joy looked to his parents and always wanted to follow in their example. He wanted to help

others with everything that he had.

The Joys knew all too well that the Urano government was in constant demand of the best and

the brightest. Every family of wealth had to give a child to be trained by the Urano military, even if it was there only one child. The poor was done the same but without any notice, Those children without any promise were forced to work until they were unable to anymore. Most of the poorer people did not die of old age but due to a work related condition.

Finally the day came for Kill Joy to be taken but he had not a frown on his face. But, he had a smile on his face. His parents hugged and kissed the lad before he left.

Kill Joy spoke,"I get to help others like I always wanted. Bye!"

The parents cried out of both of loss and also the pride that they had in their son.

The boy was laying fast asleep in a twin sized bed after a hard day. He had been kidnapped by the Urano military and was drafted as a twelve year old boy.

It was absurd but it was all too true.

The boy begins to have a dream of him fighting in a war. Blood and guts were everywhere on the battlefield.

People were being killed all around the boy. They were dropping on the body like flies.

The boy was in sheer terror as he seen all the violence around him.

All sorts of warriors were fighting the boy but somehow he was victorious. It truly puzzled him to how he was able to beat so many warriors in the dream single handed.

Then it dawn on the boy and he realized he had a group of warriors behind as he was leading the charge in the battle.

The boy was no warrior but here in this dream he was fighting in this massive battle, like it was nothing.

Eventually the battle ended and all the warriors gathered around the fully grown boy. They were saluting the boy as he was somebody was important.

The soldiers saluted and said,"Thank you General for helping us win this battle!"

He returned the salute.

The boy then immediately woke up out of his sleep and he was sweating so much that his bed was wet. He was also breathing heavily so much that that he panting like a dog on a hot summer's day.

He takes a shower and dries himself off. He jumps back into the clothes that he been given since his own clothes were dirty due to him climbing through all sorts of grim that he had acquired through his attempted escape from the complex.

The boy laid on the edge of his bed begins to ponder within himself.

"How could I be a general? I am no leader? I like fighting and wrestling, but that is for fun not

for self preservation. Oh, what a dream!"

William and Susie were both at church one Sunday night with William preaching for the night's service. It was a very spiritual service that was emotional for everybody that attended the service. The Lord's spirit was all over the service which stretched out to several hours in length.

Once the service ends, the couple shakes everybody's hands. The church was almost completely

empty when somebody comes up to the couple.

The man asks,"How can you serve a god that took away your only child that he supposedly gave to you?"

The couple remained silent on top of the platform for a while before they could respond.

The couple begin to cry.

Susie spoke,"It was for the glorification of our God and savior. The Lord gives and takes away.

The Lord gave us him so we gave him back to be made into whatever person he was made for. He was

set aside for a special service!"

The person did not respond to the woman's comment and walked out of the church.

William raised his hands to the ceiling and begun to praise the Lord.

"Thank you God for giving me such a spiritual wife! Thank you for the blessing."

William held his wife's hand and went back home.

The boy was sleeping in his humble bed when the door flies open and the lights straightaway

were turned on.

Some drill Sargent ran into the room and was yelling at the top of his lungs for the boy to get up. The lad did as he was told and got dressed in the clothes that he was given.

The Sargent yelled,"Get up boy! You have work to do! You are mine and if tell you do

something you better do it. If I say jump you better ask how high! You have no will of your own, because you are nothing but Urano property! I will not baby you like, when you were sucking on your mother's tit!"

The drill sergeant then said some off color jokes which offended the lad but he thought that it was better to just keep his mouth shut since it would not make the situation any better. He was in a new world and it was in his best interest to go with the flow. There was a time and season for everything and this was the time to be silent. That much he learned as a young boy from his minister parents.

The boy was basically chased down the hall by the drill Sargent into a large hall of teens and preteens like himself were taken by the Urano military to be used for some unknown purpose. The youth were to be tested of their abilities in all imaginable ways.

The teens were put through all sorts of physical tests: speed tests, strength tests, endurance tests over the course of a day.

The teens were utterly worn out by the testing and were all laying on the ground. They had not ate or drunk at all the entire day.

The drill Sargent was screaming at the children to get them to rise off the ground and get them to go to another destination.

#

General Hagotti was in a large control room with several TV screens showing the teenagers struggles through out the entire day of testing. He had looked over all the results of each of the candidates.

The boy really caught the eye of the officer and he was impressed to how the lad had kept his cool throughout the entire training. The lad was not in a panic as he should be and had a level head.

Hagotti thought to himself,"This lad is calmer than people twenty years older than he is. He is a

natural that I can use to make something special."

Then an officer walked into the control room and it was the officer that had wanted to kill the boy for his escape attempt.

Hagotti spoke,"Oh hi Hemotto! You come to see the results too? We have some some promising gyms."

Hemotto saw the boy on one of the TV screens and his face turns bright red as an apple.

Hagotti spoke,"You still have resentment because you and your thug got outsmarted by a mere 12 year old boy. It is not right, fellow general."

General Hemotto stormed out of the room in a hurry as Hagotti had a huge grin on his face. Hemotto did not liked to upstaged by anybody specially a young boy.

Hagotti spoke,'The boy was not the strongest or the fastest, yet he was among the most skilled. He is a natural skilled person as if he was made for combat and the training involved. I knew that I could make something out of him from the first time that I saw him!"

The general spoke over a loud speaker,"Sargent get the soldiers cleaned up and sent to the cafeteria to get filled up with food for tomorrow."

The drill instructors yelled,"You heard the general! Let us get moving!"

The general was grinning from ear to ear while standing in the large control room.

The boy was in a locker room changing into a clean jump suit provided to him by the military complex. Each of the locker had a name for each of the recruits.

One of the larger boys in the group comes up to the boy and said,"You did really good for such a little guy! Call me impressed."

The boy smiled in response of the large boy's comment.

The bigger boy asked,"Where are you from if I be so bold?"

The boy spoke,"Area 0623 is where I am from!"

Three boys over hear the conversation and walk near the two boys.

Some other boys mocked,"Is that not near the ghettos? You must be one of those trashy people!"

The boy spoke,"No I am the son of ministers so I am not very rich with money but we are not living in the ghettos. We are simply part of the middle class."

The boy would not give the three trouble makers anymore of his time.

Some other boys mocked,"That is not much better though! You people have to work blue collar jobs to just survive, unlike us."

The boy spoke,"I was the top of my high end school despite not having all the tutors and

trainers you rich folk had access. They all went down just the same after we competed with each other."

The boys were about to fight when the large boy stood between them and the boy.

The large boy spoke,"We have enough work to do without getting in trouble for getting in fights

over whose dick is bigger! Let's leave it laying!"

The three rich boy back off and walked away from the two boys.

"Thanks for the help back there," said the boy.

The large boy spoke,"The name is kill Joy and I am here to be a combat medic, so do not think

anything of me looking after my fellow man. It is just part of the job and nothing more."

The boy smiled at the name and spoke,"A medic with Kill Joy for name, what a world we live in! Wow what a day!"

Kill Joy spoke,"I know, it is still a little strange for me as well! I can get over it somehow."

The boy spoke,"But I think it sounds better as Dr. Kill Joy which just puts it over the top!"

Joy spoke,"Paging Dr. Kill Joy, your next victim, er patient is waiting!"

Both of the boys laughed hard at the joke.

#

The group of recruits then went to one of the base's many cafeterias and ate dinner there. It was not the same cafeteria that the boy had ate with the officers. It must had been the recruits' place to eat, since they were just given some slop called food. The food there was simply dreadful and the boy thought that dog food could not had taste any worse.

Some of the boys started to complain about the food but they were forced to eat more while the drill sergeants yelled at them until it was gone.
