Dragon fire (part one)

You must be ready to die, damn the food cadets", the commander said as he stuffed his face with food, well we weren't surprised or pained, especially me, after all it was the Trafalgar, no one ever practiced what they preached, it's beautiful walls and foundation are soaked with the blood of innocents, I'd say people but unfortunately that's not all they've killed, they enslaved every race man, monster and in between but, it was all for the glory of the people, right?.

soon i was slapped out of my thoughts, actually literally , the commander noticed me drifting away and bunked me in the face, "focus boy, it'll be to straight to the dragons mouth for you with such a short attention span, now to the Hatch"

I grabbed my laser gun and clinched it tight, i had never flue a ship before, so saying i was nervous was an understatement,

"remember your training boy" He said, it's funny he said that, as if he remembered his own training while he stuffed his face full, not eating during duty was part of training but yet he eats all the time. I placed my hand on the control board, my shaky  hands, "Engine?" "checked" i replied, "Weapons" "checked" i replied, "Extra pants?, cuz the way you sound you might shit yourself any second now" He laughed loudly, rubbing his bulging fat belly some saliva spilled out of his mouth, i tried to dodge without him noticing, i faked a laugh  to his dry joke, "haha, sir very funny" i replied, honestly i found nothing funny about it, maybe it was because i was the one on the seat.

I engaged the trusters and began flight, i waved my hand at the com, to indicate moving control, move your hand right and the ship follows, move left and it follows, I remembered this very well because that was training 101, after gaining some control i put my laser down and fully emersed, it was a quick flight, i made sure of it, my quickness to land left the commander laughing in tears. I quickly walked down from the ship straight to my hostel, all my friends were there laughing, they could guess i almost died of fear, surly they where right, It was all laughing and drinking, until suddenly

"BOOM!!!"

A loud noise left the entire base shaken, the head scouts came running in "Dragon fire!, Dragon fire!" they screamed, handing out weapons to us, i wondered maybe just maybe the commander was right, maybe indeed i needed extra pants...
