He quickened his pace he ran in what he felt was rain; no it was his own sweat. He turned to look behind, all he could see was dark shadow that eyed him as he ran. He ran in to an ally, he looked for the shadows as he heard them laughing. “We only want to talk” they yelled. He ran out of the ally and into the street he knew if he ran any longer he would pass out but on the other hand he would be captured by the dark figures.
He thought for a long moment he decided to keep running. It was not long till he fell flat on the side of the rode. The figures look at him and took him in chains. He awoke to the filmier taste of blood in his mouth. His eyes opened, his vision blurry at first began to clear, he then relisted he was in chains he tried to stand but found himself too weak. He then heard a raspy voice call to him, “You have something of ours.” He then felt a sharp pain in his lower leg as a knife blade goes through it. He yells in pain “I have nothing of yours, what you seek is not with me!”
He felt the pain again but this time not in his leg, but crossed his face. He cried out in pain, “I have nothing!” The figure now clearly annoyed speaks again in his cold, raspy voice “We know you have it, Elron.” Elron now scared that his life would end there and then, and then came a loud crash. The figure yell “they have found us retreat!” at that point the room is silent for a good five minutes, a bolted door three inches thick is moved reviling what appeared to be a man but it had a hood over his face.
“Thank you.” He yelled but this figure just moved on ignoring him, he thought long about what he was doing. After a good long wail this new unknown person took of their hood. It was not a man but, women that walk up to him and let him free. He looked down at his gash now dripping with his blood. The women finally spoke up. “Why have they taken an interest in you?” He was startled at the pure beautiful voice. After recovering with no help from a slap he took on a tone of anger, “I do not know.” He said trough gritted teeth “they have been chasing me for weeks now, never letting up. Then they wore me down and I passed out.” He sighed he remembered exactly what happened and why they wanted him. But he was not going to trust the person tough she did save him from death.
She looked at him wondering if he was telling the truth she decided he was not but would not bother him anymore. When she spoke to him she felt the shock, she wondered why and tough he was just under initial shock because of what had happened. A few minutes past and she decided it was time to find what he was hiding. “You know what they want don’t you?” He looked at her; he could not get enough of her blue eyes. “Yes I do but still I do not like to talk about it.” He said unknowingly, as soon as he heard what he said he turned. She looked at him and thought he was lying perhaps I should just leave this one to die. If knowing what she thought he said “yes I lied but please do not leave I need help I cannot survive another day running from them. He brought out a small chip from his pocket. A hologram of the three headed dog Cerberus appears. Hello I am Cerberus, A.I. programmed by Black Wing. He smiled, “This is what they want, and I protected it with my life.”

Station: Wingdona HQ, off the cost of the black island
Name: Sahara W. Roberts
Time: 0600
Sahara awoke to the sound of taps playing. She sighed and got up from her bunk, she woke her roommate who claimed to never hear the taps, probably the fact that he wore earplugs through the night. He needed to wake up; Sahara grabbed a small cup of cool water and dumped on his face, to her surprise it did not work there was only one thing to do. She poured in the cup, coffee, then splashed it on his face, she heard a scream which must have meant it worked. Slowly her roommate dragged himself off the bed and into the locker-room; he got on his uniform and joined Sahara in the mess hall. Sahara spoke up, “This will not happen if you did not drink so much.” She only got a grumble in response, She sighed it had been like this for the past 48 hours.
After breakfast she got up and went to training, her commanding officers were cruel; they feed off pain, lapping at it with every chance they got. Sahara knew what coming a ten mile run, just her luck, after, with some of her comrades heaping for air, they did as she tough, hundred push-ups. Sahara’s arms were on fire she could barely feel them the pain almost made her pass out. Sahara looked at his roommate Leo, the broad shoulder kid was fine he did not even break a sweat after he just stood at attention and waited, all eyes were on him like he was some sort of government monster.
As Leo notices all eyes on him all he did was smile, he liked having the attention but he also knew what would happen; the sergeants would try to break him. He was yelled at over and over again, to do more. He was not even sweating! He looked at the others their mouths agape and looking in wonder. Sahara had seen this before Leo love it all eyes on him; she felt a small scratch in her back, she knew what it was she was acing to fly. Before she joined Wingdona she was in a program, she was tested on and was the only one who did not die. She had grown wings and loved them the soft feathers of a bird. She had a shirt that would allow her to fly but if she did she would be shot dead. She let it be and allowed Leo to continue to show off.

Name: Elron B. Honeycost
Time: 0400
Elron was busily with his work when a soft knock came from the door puzzled at this uninvited visitor he stood and opened the door. He looked as a women with her back turned was standing in his door way. “Hello, may I help you?” He asked as she turned. “Yes” came a soft voice he let her in and shut the door. “You may not know who I am.” “No I do not” He interrupted. She looked at him crossly, “You should not interrupt me, Elron.” How did you…” he stopped looking at his “friend” wondering who it could be. “Slip off you jacket” Her tone was hard to take as polite, but he did as told; once he jacket was off she could see the pair of golden hawk wings folded at his back. “I… I was right.” Happily she brought him into a hug. He looked at this woman with sudden shock. “Do I know you?” he asked as she parted from her hug. “No” without another word she left and ran out the door. Strange he sighed and went back doing his notes.
Once a Wingdona, Always one.
Date: Tuesday, 30, 2041
Name: Elron B. Honeycost
Time: 1200
Elron was still highly frustrated about how his visitor knew about his wings, he wondered if the government had found out and was out to kill him. He sighed felling the square card that held Cerberus. He slipped Cerberus into his Vat-Boy on his arm and he popped up instantly “Good day Elron B. Honeycost, how may I help thy today?” He looked at his holographic friend, “Cerberus fined me the file on Sahara Roberts.” Cerberus disappeared only for a moment and then came back. “Sir there is no Sahara Roberts in the system, are you sure that is the person’s name?” Elron sighed he had to find her he just had to.
A week had past just like that, he was tiered of searching for her but he had to he came upon one option; he had to join Wingdona. He found the small recruiting place by the coffee shop, as he went in he was greeted by a man in a blue uniform. “Hello. Welcome to Wingdona's 50th recruiting sight how may I help you?” Elron looking at the man calmly said “I am here to join.” The man now surprised at what he had said looked over him and thought He looks tough and he may be a good addition but let’s see if I can get him upset. After about an hour of pestering Elron to no avail he looked him over one last time and said. “Welcome to Wingdona, your plain is out back.” Elron thanked the man and walked to the back where at least 500 men and women stood. The plain lifted off and lead to a carrier where he was left, he looked around and saw what appeared to be the commander coming to great them he with four others stood looking at him and slipped into attention.
The commander looked at them and yelled. “Welcome aboard the S.S. Pegasus this ship is named after the great General Marcuse M. Pegasus, YOU!” He pointed a finger at a woman to Elron’s side. “You are going back!” after about an hour of him yelling at the recruits sending one by one back in shame he looked at Elron. “You get under the brig, NOW!” Elron grabbed his stuff and ran he slipped under and waited with others. After about ten minutes he came down the Commander stepped down into the brig himself. “You all are under my commanded I am Commander Leroy. You will all be assigned to a special force. I will allow Sargent Mores be in charge of that.” As he said that a slender woman came and greeted them as the commander left. “Hello I am Sargent Mores; I will be assigning you to your units. Now follow me to your rooms.” She led them down the small corridor to rooms. “Elron you will be with…” She looked puzzled as she said the name. “Melee”
A man stepped out he was taller and stronger then Elron he had golden hair and blue eyes he had a gruff voice. "Melee here mam.” Elron looked over him as they slid into their room it was small it had two desks with beds and lamps. Melee placed his stuff on one of the beds and started to unpack, Elron did the same on the other bed. “Names Elron, nice to meet you.” All he got was a grumble, and then he finally spoke. “I’m Melee good to meet you as well.” Elron was taken back by his politeness. "what is your motive to join wingdona?" Elron asked
"My motive, does not matter." Elron started to speak but stopped as he decided not to pester him. "okay as you wish." Elron decided to change shirts before his roommate could turn to see his wings, he slipped his shirt off and grabbed the other. Melee looked over at the noise and saw the golden pair of wings. "y-you have wings?!" Elron turned as quick as he could. "I.... do not you are sleeping this a dream." He could read Melees face like a book he was not buying it. "No you have wings." Elron sighed "I do" he looked at Melee "please do not tell them, I beg you" Melee had a grim smile "what is in it for me?" he asked "You will get Five grand after this is over." Elron lied, it was hard to see Melee's expression "You have a deal." he said smugly "But if you are lying then i'll kill you my self!" Elron made a mental note to make sure he did pay him.
"Okay deal." Elron went to the gym where the rest of the recruit had gathered and were Sargent Mores waited. "Welcome this is where i will be selecting your forces, Elron you are up first; You will take a gun and fire at the target." He looked down to see a 50 cal sniper waiting he looked for the target and saw it at the far end of the gym and he did as he was told hitting just above the bulls-eye. His second shot hit the mark and he slid off the gun and went back to line. Mores just stared and marked something down the rest of the line when she let Elron and another go. He slid into his bed and let the blackness take him.
