2.First day of trouble.2

Royal College of Medicine, London, 1798

A man in a white coat pushed the door of a conference room so violently that it attracted every other scientist's gaze to him. The man smiled and stood behind an operating table that was in the middle of the room, where everyone could see him and his experience. On the table, there was a white sheet covering something.

''Life and death, two contrary terms that are part of our pathetic little life! We are born to die! When a baby opens his eyes for the very first time, there is a great chance that it dies later because of several diseases, or because it was too weak for our world. From life, we pass to death!'' A man who was sitting in the stands stood up to go out, but it triggered the anger of the scientist.

''STAY HERE OR I SWEAR TO YOUR MISERABLE GOD THAT I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN HANDS !!!'' The man sat down with fear, and the scientist continued his show.

''As I said before being interrupted, from life, we pass to death! But what if death was life? I, Victor Frankenstein, had a dream in which, death would be temporary! And this dream, you have it in front of you!'' Victor took off the sheets that hid his horrible experience, and under it, there was an animal worthy of hell, this animal was made up of several other pieces of animals sewn together, and sometimes still open, revealing bones and putrid flesh.

''I know that his sight may displease some of you here, but he was a good friend of mine when he was still alive of course!'' The man who wanted to get up looked at the beast and fainted on the bench.

''Now, thanks to the power of electricity, I will give it life and conquer death!'' Victor planted a nail connected to an electric generator through cables in the heart of the beast. He turned on the generator, but the door of the room opened, stopping him in his work.

''FRANKENSTEIN! What is this madness!'' Frankenstein looked at the man in front of him who was none other than the college director, and his mentor, Rachet Cord.

''Oh hello, Rachet! Did you come to see your favourite student succeed in overcoming death?'' Rachet stepped toward the creature and threw it to the ground with such force that the skull of the beast opened, exposing its brain to the sight of the other scientists.

''NOOOO!'' Victor ran to his creation to save it, but Ratchet stopped him by holding his arms with the help of the other scientists.

''NO, LET ME GO! I MUST SAVE MY CREATION!!!'' The creature was draining out of its blood under the cry of its creator.

''Of all the students I have had in my life, you are the most undisciplined of all!'' Victor was standing in his master's office like a child in front of his father.

''You do not care about your studies, and you prefer to deal with your ridiculous theory of life and death!'' Ratchet threw on the ground all of Frankenstein's notes on the body's anatomy.

''They are not ridiculous! I can create life from death, I could have shown it to you, but you have DESTROYED MY MASTERPIECE!'' Ratchet slapped his student for uttering those words in front of him.

''You can not do anything without me! I am the one who gave you the knowledge that you are in your head! I am the one who gave you a chance to shine in the world of science and to rise in glory like those before us, but you, you're just sinking into obscurantism with your idea of a world where death is nothing more than a bad dream! I gave you everything, and yet you keep disappointing me! You may have created this abomination that you call creation, but I created you! YOU ARE MY CREATION!'' Victor didn't react to his mentor's words, he knelt down and retrieved his notes, under the look of despair of Ratchet.

''You begged me on your knees to enter here, and yet, you are still on your knees before me, pressing hard against you an impossible dream,'' Ratchet took one of Frankenstein's many drawings, he looked at it and saw that it was a heart. He stared at it for several seconds before tearing it under Victor's shocked look.

''You've fired Victor, I never want to see you here again, I'm truly sorry for you!'' Ratchet opened the door to leave, but Victor spoke to him one last time.

''Master, please come!'' Ratchet sighed and walked over to Victor.

''I'm no longer your master, Vic-urght!'' Victor stabbed Ratchet in the chest with a terrifying smile on his face.

''You're right, my beast was an abomination,'' Victor stabbed him again ''I have a bigger project,'' SHNKK, ''And you will help me, '' SHNKK, ''Because,'' SHNKK, ''You will be partly used!'' Victor stabbed frantically until his blouse turned red. Once done,
he looked at his master's lifeless body, knelt on the ground and laughed while thinking about his future masterpiece.

''AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!!!''

''AAAHHH!'' Adam woke with a start on Donovan's couch. He caught his breath for several seconds before calming down. He looked at the clock that indicates 5:00 am, the time when the first lightning struck him.

''Ratchet?'' Adam turned to see Donovan correcting copies on his table.

''Rachets,'' Donovan looked at Adam smiling and then went back to work. Adam looked at him then got up, he looked at Donovan's cup and seeing that it was empty, made him a coffee.

''Donovan?'' Adam asked while preparing the coffee.

''Yes, Adam?'' Donovan said while correcting copies.

''Why are you naked?'' Donovan stopped correcting and looked at his friend with a smile.

''Because I am at home, so I do what I want!'' Donovan replied.

''Seems legit,'' Adam sat down with his friend, and both started laughing.

Donovan's House, 3:25 later.

''This is the final countdown, my dear friend, prepare yourself for a new life!'' Donovan was about to leave for the academy with his new student, Adam.

''Remind me why I have to go to the academy?'' Adam was a lot less optimistic than Donovan for this one.

''Because you signed a contract!'' Donovan opened the door, but Adam asked him one last question.

''Technically, it was more of a threat than a signature, and between us, I don't have the head of a student, I have the head of someone who will commit a crime against students!'' Donovan looked at his friend without saying anything, then he opened the door and pointed to the outside.

''(Sighed) Got it!'' Adam and Donovan were now on the road to the academy gates, which is two meters away because Donovan, like all the teachers at the school, has a house near the academy, for them, and their families. Donovan and Adam stopped in front of the gate, and Donovan spoke to his friend.

''Here you are, have a good day!'' Donovan said while a smile on his face.

''What? you don't come with me?'' Donovan looked at Adam with surprise in his eyes.

''No, I must' take care of something first, have a good day and try to make some friends!'' Donovan left in town leaving Adam alone in front of a portal still broken because of him.

''Be brave, Adam! You fought in Verdun so you can go to an academy with future soldiers..ich bin in ein gross Scheiße!'' Adam went through the gate and went down the grand alley leading to the academy, praying there was no one with him.

''Please, I want to be alone!'' Unfortunately for him, he was not alone. They were several students heading to the academy.

''Nice uniforms!'' Their uniforms were white with a black tie and black stripes on the jacket.

''Well, Time to go! At least nobody saw me!'' Adam took a step in his new academy with a smile on his face.

''Hey look, he's the guy who attacked the academy yesterday!'' At this moment, Adam knew that his life at the academy was going to be complicated.

''It's him!''

''He almost killed Luna in a fight!''

''And Spitfire too!''

''Damn! look at his face!''

''His face! It's a freaking jigsaw!''

''Quick! Tell Celestia about his arrival!'' A pupil leaves running towards the academy, under the friendly look of Adam.

''Ah, I miss Germany!'' Adam walked to the academy, still under the disgusted gaze of the other students. Once in front of the doors, Adam saw that a surprise was waiting for him.

''Hello, Adam,'' Celestia was in front of him with three other teachers, ''How are you?''

''Like a fish out of water, and you? How are you today, Miss Sunrise?'' Celestia smiled at her question and then spoke to him.

''Welcome to Canterlot military academy, Adam!'' Once her sentence ended, Wonderbolts passed over the academy in their flying combat armour, leaving blue and orange traces in the sky. Celestia approached Adam and held out her hand.

''I think your new class is looking forward to meeting you!'' Adam looked at her then shook her hand.

''What is my first class?'' Adam asked with curiosity.

''Study of night fighting with my sister Luna!'' Celestia replied with a smile.

''WHAT?'' Adam said.

''The most important thing about night fighting is to be..." Luna Sunrise was waiting for a response from the students, but no one wanted to answer. Only one hand was up in the room, and it was the hand of one of the smartest students of the academy.

''(Sighed) Yes, Twilight!'' Twilight rose from his seat and said the answer to the whole class.

''The most important thing about night fighting is to be quiet and deadly!'' Theresa ''Twilight'' Sparkle was a young Metis girl with sapphire hair with pink and purple lock hair.

''Correct, Sparkle! Too bad there is only you in the class!'' Luna said to the whole class.

''You're welcome!'' Twilight sat down with a satisfied smile.

''Alright everybody, I have something important to tell you so shut it!'' All the students had become silent for their teacher.

''Today, there will be a new student in our class...'' Luna was interrupted by something pink.

''Nani? A new student?! It's super duper AWESOME!!'' The pink masse yelled with joy.

''Calm yourself, pie, or I leave you in nature without anything!'' Pie calmed down and smiled.

''Sōrī!'' If Twilight Sparkle was the smartest student in the academy, Aiko '' Pinkie'' Pie was the funniest student in the academy, her Japanese origin and her pink hair played in her favour when she played the card of absurdity. You can always count on her when you need a good laugh.

''As I said, a new will arrive in a few seconds!'' Someone knocked on the door after her sentence.

''Impressive!'' Twilight complimented Luna about her perfect timing.

''Come in, it's open! " The door opened, and a young man dressed all in black from head to foot entered the room. This young man had long black hair like coal, and his eyes were yellow citrine. His face, just like his hands, were covered with scars that seem to describe a great story, great but terrifying.

''Hello, my name is Adam Stein, I'm 18 years old. My hobbies are science, history of wars, medicine, and the long walk on the beaches, especially that of Normandy, and I also like the Gothic literature. Questions?'' Everyone looked at Adam with shocked and disgusted looks, especially a person with blue hair like the night.

''Soooo, are we cool?'' A fighting knife went straight to him but Adam stopped him just in time, he looked at the blade and saw a moon engraved on it.

''Oh...Scheiße!'' That was the only word that could come out of Adam's mouth when he was in trouble.

''AAARRRGGG!!!'' Luna ran towards him while unsheathing another knife from her pocket.

''Das Ist Nicht Gut!!'' Adam started running around the classroom to avoid Luna's fury.

''Come back here!'' Luna pursued Adam with her knife in the hope of stabbing him.

''NEIN! NEIN! NEINNNNN!!!'' Adam started to climb on the table to gain height.

''COWARD!'' Luna was going to climb on the table, but Pinkie interrupted her.

''Stop madam, you can't win!'' Luna pointed the blade of her knife at her with a look of hatred.

''WHY!'' Luna asked.

''He has the high ground!'' Luna looked at her without saying anything then Twilight facepalmed.

''I love that movie,'' The whole class looked at Adam who was about to leave the room through the window, ''What? You prefer Star Trek?''

''AAARRRGGG!'' Luna threw her new knife at Adam, who stopped it again.

''Your knives are beautiful, ''Adam was impressed by every little detail of the knife while ignoring Luna, '' I love the little moon on the blade!'' Adam looked at Luna to compliment her, but instead of accepting the compliment, she ran toward him at full speed.

''ScheißEEEEEEEE!'' Luna and Adam both passed through the window to crash into the Wonderbolt training ground. Adam quickly got up from his fall and dusted himself off.

''It reminds me Romania with Vlad!'' Adam looked at Luna and saw that she wasn't on the ground anymore.

''And this, this reminds me Halloween!'' Adam added.

''Peek-a-booo!'' Luna stabbed Adam in the stomach, the blood on the blade was a dark red, even black.

''Beautiful, and deadly! The perfect mix!'' Luna removed her blade from his stomach and Adam fell on his knees.

''What wrong's sweetie? Tired?'' Luna cleaned up her blade with Adam's trench.

''No, I'm just thinking how I'm going to take you down without going to jail!'' Adam replied.

''WHAT?!'' Adam threw dust into Luna's eyes, blinding her.

''MY EYES!!! YOU SON OF A!'' Adam grabbed Luna's arm and threw it on the floor to calm her down. Once on the ground, Adam put his hand on Luna's mouth to keep him from breathing, and after a few seconds, Luna fell into Morpheus's arms.

''She's cute when she is asleep!'' Adam looked towards the academy and saw that all the students in the class looked at him, especially the sapphire-haired girl and the pink-haired girl.

''I feel that it's not going to increase my popularity!'' Adam took a step, and two Wonderbolts landed in front of him.

''Hello, how you doing?'' The two Wonderbolts pointed their arms at Adam and fired green darts at him. Adam removed one dart and looked at it.

''Tranquillizer for elephants, there're elephants here?'' Adam fell to the floor, right next to Luna.

''Ouch!'' Pinkie said before closing the window.

Celestia's office, in trouble.

Adam woke up in a lighted room, and the first thing he saw was Luna's hateful gaze.

''Still angry?'' Adam asked.

''YOU'RE DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!'' Luna's vocabulary didn't change at all.

''Apparently yes, '' Adam looked around him saw that he was tied up to his chair, just like Luna.

''Not again!'' The door behind him opened, and Celestia sat in her chair looking at Adam and Luna as a mother about to shout at her child.

''Hi, Ms Sunri-'' Adam was interrupted by Luna.

''LET ME KILL THIS THING!!!'' Luna yelled.

''SHUT UP!'' Celestia looked at Adam with the same look as her sister.

''ADAM! Donovan begged me on my knees to give you a chance at my academy and you, you arrive in class and beat my sister a second time! I train the soldiers of tomorrow! Not the terrorists of tomorrow!'' Celestia explained

I was a soldier before you so show me some respect!

''I'm sorry, but it's Luna who attacked me first,'' Adam explained

''He lies!'' Luna said, defending herself.

''No, he's right! You started this fight, just like the last time, and he beat you like the last time!'' Luna was shocked by the answer of her sister.

''But,'' She was interrupted by Celestia.

''NO BUT! You're supposed to be one of the best soldiers of the academy, but you lose to a stranger who has no military experience!'' Celestia explained to her sister.

''Waterloo, Verdun, Normandy, Vietnam and many more!

''I'm still here, you know that?'' Adam added.

''I didn't forget you, Adam! Your first day here is not over, but it could quickly end if you do not pay attention! You can go now, have a good day!'' Celestia squeezed a button on her desk, and Adam's tie went inside the chair.

''Goodbye!'' Adam went out of the office, and Luna spoke to her sister.

''Celestia,'' Celestia looked at her sister and sighed.

''(Sighed)Yes, Luna?'' Celestia said.

''I want a final fight!'' Luna said to her sister with hatred in her voice.

The lunch bell finally rang throughout the academy, all the students go to the cafeteria, except Adam, who was sitting on a bench thinking about all the wars in which he fought.

''Not a soldier, not anymore!'' Adam was looking at the floor when suddenly three people came in front of him, he looked up and saw three girls.

''Hello?'' One of the three girls put her finger in front of Adam's mouth and spoke.

''Shut up!'' One of the girls sat next to Adam and put her arm around his shoulder.

''Don't be rude, Gilda! He's new here!'' Ashley ''Lightning'' Dust was often the main source of nervousness for other students because she's too pretentious for some, and this confidence can be seen in his smile, and in her orange eyes. Her hair was also orange with yellow wicks. She three has piercing, one on her tongue and two on her right eyebrow.

''Shut up, Lightning or I'll make you eat the dust!'' Cait ''Gildas'' Gryff was what you could call a bully, she was tall for her age, and her many piercing on her face strengthen that side. Her eyes were less yellow than Adam, but they were piercing like those of an eagle, not to mention her snow-white hair with purple wicks.
''Easy, Gilda! keep this for him!'' The last girl said to her while pointing Adam.

''Damn right, Rainbow!'' As you can see, Lena ''Rainbow'' Dash is the leader of her group composed of the worst soldiers of the academy. They're good when it's time to fight, but when it's time to obey an order, they ignore it and keep on fighting.
Her friends call her Rainbow, because of her rainbow wick, not to mention her red cherry eyes.

''Me? What have I done yet?'' Adam asked.

''What have you done? You're the one who put Spitfire into a hospital bed!'' Rainbow replied.

''She's at the hospital? Didn't know, sorry!'' The insouciance of Adam started to annoy Gilda, she took him by the collar and lifted him to his height.

''Sorry? SORRY! I'm going to beat your ass!'' Gilda threatened.

''Yeah! Show him!'' Gilda was about to hit him when someone interrupted her by grabbing her forearm.

''Too slow, Gilda! The next strikes instead of talking!'' Adam leaned over to see his saviour and saw that it was a woman wearing a light blue armour without her helmet. Her eyes were red cherry, and Her hair was a very light gray with some blue wicks.

''Lieutenant Fleetfoot!'' Rainbow and Lightning hit their torsos to greet her. Eleanor ''Fleetfoot'' Flynt was the lieutenant of the Wonderbolts, and the second fastest of the academy behind her captain, Spitfire.

''What's going on here?'' Fleetfoot asked

''They want to beat me because I sent their idol to the hospital because she attacked me while I was drinking a cold beer with my friend Donovan, a great person if you want my opinion. She tried to kill me, so I electrocuted her, and now I'm here because Donovan begged the director on his knees. And you, how are you?'' The four girls looked at Adam with the same look, the look of I don't care about your life!

''Her name is Spitfire, and luckily for you, she came out of the hospital!'' Fleetfoot said.

''Really? That awesome!'' Adam replied.

''Yeah but it's not thanks to you, playboy!'' Lightning added.

''This is great, but you still need to pay for you've done to her!'' Rainbow took a step, but Fleetfoot put herself in front of her.

''Enough!'' Rainbow wanted Adam dead for his action toward her idol.

''But,'' Fleetfot repeated herself.

''I said enough! I understand your anger because I have the same towards him,'' Fleetfoot and Rainbow looked at Adam who was looking at flowers, ''His fate doesn't belong to you, but to the dome!'' Rainbow looked at his lieutenant in the eyes and then began to smile.

''Alright, no vengeance! Let's go girls!'' Rainbow said.

''Fine, see you next time, playboy!'' Lighting added.

''Hmph'' Once the girls are gone, Adam spoke to Fleetfoot.

''Thanks for the help, now I think I'm going back to class otherwise Celestia put me in a hole, and I don't want to disappoint my friend. I was happy to meet you and see you again!'' Adam was about to leave, but Fleetfoot took him by the collar.

''Celestia sent me to pick you up. She has an announcement to make!'' Adam looked at her and sighed.

''(Sighed) Not again!''

Battle Room, it's a military academy after all.

The fighting room has only one goal, and this goal is to prove who is the strongest of all. Fights are part of the tradition of the academy, they serve to train the future soldier, and denounce those who are not worthy. But in some cases, students can challenge themselves in the Dome, a sphere capable of generating landscape for more urban combat.

''why are we here?'' A student asked.

''I don't know!'' Twilight replied.

''Maybe we're going to party!'' Pinkie added.

''Silence, there're Miss Sunrise and her sister on the stage!'' Celestia walked toward the microphone and spoke to all the students.

''My dear students, we are here because an affront was committed against my sister, and this one here wants to wash her dishonour by defying the one who committed this crime!'' Celestia pointed to the front door, and at the same time, Adam entered the room with Fleetfoot.

''Why is everyone here?'' Adam asked.

''Shut up and listen!'' Fleetfoot replied.

''Adam stein! Your name keeps tormenting my sister! That's why she wants to fight you in the dome to show you who the real soldier is!'' Celestia explained.

Soldier, this word still haunt me after all those years!

Everyone watching Adam who was silent, then he walked to Luna, he climbed onto the stage and stood in front of her.

''What happens if I lose?'' Adam asked.

''I'll put you in jail!'' Lina replied.

''And if I win?'' Luna smiled at his remark.

''You stay here, but I warn you! You can't win against me, and my team!'' Luna added.

''You and your Team?'' Adam was surprised by her answer.

''Me,'' Three soldiers dressed in black came out of the shadows and stood behind Luna., ''And my team, the Shadowbolts!''
The Shadowbolts were the personal soldiers of Luna, they are like the Wonderbolts, but a bit more vicious and dark.

''I refuse your duel, I don't want to fight you!'' Adam turned and went down the stage to go to the exit.

''Then you will go to jail!'' Luna said.

''Okie-Dokie!'' Adam continued walking without paying attention to Luna's threat.

''With Donovan!'' Adam stopped abruptly and looked at Luna, completely shocked.

''What?!'' Luna licked his lips, smiling.

''If you refuse, Donovan will go to jail because he's the one who let you join us! So you have two choices, either to fight us or, you can go to jail with your only friend!'' Luna explained.

I wonder how humans manage to live with all those useless fight!

''Fine! I accept the duel, but it's not for you, it's for my friend!'' Adam explained.

''Wondeful! In that case, see you tonight when the moon will be at its peak! Adam Stein!'' Luna disappeared in the shadow with her team, leaving Adam with an impression of defeat.

I'm not soldier, not anymore!
