I’m going to prove to the entire galaxy that I’m the best warrior ever.” Obeg said. Obeg was an Orange scaled Koronian with blue stripes on his body and if you’re wondering what a Koronian is their aliens. \n\nKoronians are a warrior race that resembles the tyrannosaurus with tiger stripes on their bodies. They can breathe fire, ice, or poison. Their planet is a Jurassic jungle and it’s pretty hot there too especially during the summer. Some of the other races think of them as barbarians, but when you get to know one they’re pretty brave and noble so they often make great defenders of the galaxy.\n\nObeg was one of those Koronians. He trained all his life to join the Space Ranger Academy. He spent years learning new moves, honing his body, and working the latest technology. He really had a lot to live up to; considering his great ancestor was one of the warriors who founded the Constellation of Brotherhood and defeated the Parasite. His father was also a general in the Galactic Army and now that Obeg was fifth teen he could now be enrolled into the school. \n\n“Getting ready to go little bro.” Obeg turned around to see a large cyan Koronian with yellow stripes in his doorway.\n\n“Yeah Cene, I got everything packed. Next stop the East Sector!” Obeg said with a loud roar. He expected his big brother to come up with some smart comment, but when he looked at him he saw that he was a bit worried. Obeg knew his brother didn’t like the idea of him going into space. The most deaths in the galaxy were caused by space pirates, meteors, space mines from the Kachunine war. In short it was safer to live on a deserted asteroid field than becoming a space soldier.\n\n“Hey Cene, don’t worry. I’m not a hatchling anymore,” Obeg said as he tried to leave the room. “I can take care of myself now.” Obeg slipped out of the room but soon felt his brother’s hand on his tail.\n\n“Just be careful alright,” Cene said as he turned Obeg around. “And come back whenever you have a break, don’t be like …father.” Cene’s fist subconsciously curled up.\n\n“I want …to be like him,” Obeg said softly. He knew it hurt his brother for him to say that but he really looked up to their father, not that he was ever around. “But I promise I will visit.”\n\nHis brother gave him a smile as he patted him on the head. “Hey, how about we spar before you go!” Cene said with eager eyes. Cene loved to fight, everyday he would find someone to challenge, he won most of the time too so he would be a good sparring partner.\n\nObeg looked at his cyber watch. He had two hours until the ship arrived so he decided to have some fun with his bro. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t****\n\nTen minutes later Obeg arrived in the training room and found his brother in the ring. His brother stood there in his traditional Koronian loincloth, stretching his muscles ready for a fight. Obeg noticed he was wearing an elastic belt around his waist. It wasn’t too surprising seeing as how fat his brother was, but besides his gut Cene was a very muscular guy.\n\nObeg himself was very muscular. Although he was short for his age his body put most of the other males to shame. Cene couldn’t help but stare at his little brother while he walked into the ring. Obeg removed his shirt and showed the body that he worked hard for after ten years of intense training. Cene could feel himself erecting at the sight of his brother in his blue gym shorts. He walked over to the control panel and adjusted the settings.\n\n“1 Round, 20 minutes, Rock field.” The computer said as the room slowly transformed from weights and punching bags to an open rocky field. Cene and Obeg got in defensive positions and started circling each other. Claws ready, teeth showing, eyes burning for action, and the low growls that were followed with the breath of fire.\n\nDing! Ding! The bell rung and two Koronians charged at each other. They grabbled for a short time until Obeg jumped up and whipped his tail around sending Cene to the ground. He attempted to claw but Cene got up faster than he thought he would and grabbed Obeg. He brought him to his chest and squeezed him tightly. Obeg let out a roar as he desperately tried to escape the bearhug. \n\n“If I can still get you in this hold I don’t think you need to be going anywhere!” Cene said as he added more pressure to the hold. \n\nObeg was in serious trouble no matter what he did Cene held on tight. He was starting to lose consciousness when he noticed Cene pulling him up closer to his face. He was breathing hard and taking in Obeg’s scent. \n\n“Pervert.” Obeg thought before he finally broke free and put his brother in a headlock.\n\nCene tried to escape, but Obeg picked him up and slammed him to the ground dazing him for awhile. When Cene got back up he saw Obeg spit some fire in his direction, making that little “bring it” taunt. Without thinking Cene charged at Obeg and swung at him, but Obeg simply stepped out of the way and then applied a masterlock on his brother.\n\n“Sorry Cene, but I’m going! Obeg said as he struggled with Cene’s attempts to get loose. “I’ve been training my whole life for this and if I have to kick your ass to prove I’m ready then that’s what I’m gonna do!\n\nCene was real mad now. There was no way he was about to lose to his little brother. He started thrashing around or as much as he could with Obeg holding him still, but the hold Obeg had on his brother was starting to weaken until Cene finally broke free. In a split second Cene turned around grabbed Obeg and slammed him to the ground. Not even waiting for him to get up he body slammed his little brother with all his weight ending the match. \n\nCene got up and snorted some fire “Learn your place brother.” He let out a roar as he stood over his little brother, but when Obeg didn’t move or say anything he started to worry. \n\n“Hey, Obeg you all right?” Cene looked at Obeg and saw he was unconscious. He tried waking him up but it didn’t work. “Aww men…come on bro wake up.”\n\nCene was about to get a med kit until he noticed his brother had a bulge. He looked at him one more time. He seemed to be alright a little bruise here and there but besides that he was perfectly fine.\n\n“He’s not hurt, just…sleeping.” Cene thought as he touched the bulge, then he slowly started rubbing it and it slowly started to grow. Cene breathed heavily as he removed his brother’s shorts and massaged his sheath. “Man… I wonder how big it can get?” Cene bent down and licked it. He never tried this with anyone before especially not his own brother. He kept on licking and as pre cum started to come out. He licked it and it didn’t taste nasty at all and the scent was too wonderful to ignore. He swallowed it being consumed by his sexual lust and not even noticing that Obeg had woken up.\n\n“H-Hey what the hell are you doing!” Obeg said kicking his brother off him. He pulled his shorts back on and marched out of the room. \n\n\t\t\t\t\t****\n\n“Obeg wait!” Cene yelled chasing his brother down the hallway. “I’m sorry, please don’t tell anyone.” Cene begged. Obeg turned around and faced his brother he was obviously embarrassed and ashamed, but Obeg couldn’t believe he tried ‘that’ with him, and while he was unconscious. \n\n“I already knew.” Obeg said bluntly. Cene was shocked he thought it was his own dark secret but someone knew, someone knew he liked males.\n\n“Does… anyone else know?”\n\n“I don’t know, but you ask to wrestle a lot and then you always have a bulge so…”\n\n“I see… thanks bro. And I’m sorry.” Cene turned away from his brother and let a single tear run down his face.\n\nObeg wanted to say something. It wasn’t his fault his brother was this way and he didn’t have a problem with it some males just like being with other males, of course if their father found out he’d go ballistic. He tried to cheer his brother up but just then the doors slid open.\n\n“Hey brother, brother! Look what I made!” A little Koronian said.\n\n“Hey Sido, what’s up?” Sido was the youngest of the three brothers. He had yellow scales with green stripes and while his two big brothers were into action and adventure Sido loved technology. He once took apart Obeg’s Navigating Tactics system just to see what makes the beeping noise.\n\n“Brother, I made this for you! I call it the A.R.T.”\n\n“The ART?” Obeg asked as he took the little disk.”\n\n“Yeah, it stands for Armed Reception Transmitter. Just put the chip in your watch, it can fire mini bombs and tap into any communication signal.” Obeg smiled at Sido and patted him on the head.\n\n“Thanks bro, I’m sure it’ll come in handy.” Obeg said as he put the chip in his pocket. You weren’t supposed to put new chips into your tech especially ones made by kids. It would have to be approved by the Solar Universal Network; otherwise it might mess up the watch or send a virus though the system.\n\n“Speaking of gifts I got one for you two bro, come with me.” Obeg and Sido followed Cene into his room. Inside were a bunch of books of various kinds, some work out equipment, and his set of guns on the shelf. Obeg sniffed around and discovered that the whole room smelled of his brother’s lustful scent.\n\n“He must have been masturbating.” Obeg thought. Cene reached in his drawer and pulled out a blue sun shaped necklace. The sun was the symbol of the Koronian race. They worshiped the sun god, Suhhulaaz who gave them strength, but for the races who believe in logic Koronians absorb solar energy to get stronger, which is why they have huge feast during the night to restore their energy once the sun goes down.\n\n“What is it?” Obeg asked as he put it around his neck\n\n“It’s a good luck charm. Mom made it for Dad but…” Cene stopped talking. Nobody really liked talking about their mother; she died shortly after Sido was hatched. That’s when their father started spending more time working instead of coming home.\n\n“I’ll never take it off.” Obeg said as his watch started beeping, he had twenty minutes to get to the recruitment center. He ran to his room and quickly changed clothes. He grabbed his bag and was already halfway through the door. “See ya guys! I’m off!”\n\n“Obeg! Be careful!” Cene yelled.\n\n“Bye brother! Good luck!” Sido yelled.\n\nObeg waved goodbye to his brothers, he would miss them, but he had his own dreams to pursue and his adventurers would lead him all over the galaxy.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t****\n\n2. Obeg looked outside the window of the Recruit Ship, he was actually in space! It was more exciting than he ever dreamed. Stars, comets, he could even see his own planet which was getting smaller every second.\n\n“Hey Obeg, are you still staring at that window?” Obeg snapped out of his daydreaming and turned towards the red Koronian sitting next to him.\n\n“Sorry Thar, I’m just real excited!” Thar had been Obeg’s best friend since they were hatchlings. He was loyal, carefree, and had red scales with black stripes. Thar was taller than Obeg and had an over muscled build. He also had long black hair, which made Obeg a little jealous since few male Koronians had hair.\n\n“So Thar, what are you majoring in?”\n\n“I’m going for the air force. I think I can serve the galaxy better in an air ship than on the ground.” Obeg was more of a ground person but he knew Thar loved flying and he would be a great wingman. “I’m telling ya Obeg, someday I’m gonna have my own ship with my name on the side.”\n\n“He he, well you do that. Me I’m going to become the greatest warrior in the galaxy!”\n\n“You can’t be the ‘greatest’ Obeg. There will always be someone stronger than you.”\n\n“Then I’ll just train even harder,” Obeg stood up and gave a loud roar. “I won’t stop until I’m the very best.”\n\n\t\t\t\t\t****\n\n“The next few hours weren’t very exciting, well they were to Obeg he couldn’t stop moving from one spot to the next. He went into every section of the ship before he was called for the final part of recruitment, actually the only place he couldn’t get to was the control room, where his father was.\n\n“All recruits report to room C1.” The computer announced with that Obeg headed for room C1. When he arrived he was one of the first to show up so he stood in line and waited for the rest.\n\n“All right rookies, listen up!” A heavy green Koronian with purple stripes roared. “Now I don’t need to tell you what you’re putting at risk here, and since you’re already on this ship you’ve obviously seen the recordings of actual battle.” Obeg remembered, it was a test to see if they were mentally ready to join the academy. The only thing that really scared him was that footage of two soldiers dying on an ice planet, he could die anywhere except for in the snow, the thought made him shiver.\n\n“Now this is a dangerous time to be joining the academy. An unknown alien alliance has declared war on the galactic council and all star systems that are under its control.” He started pacing in front of all the young warriors. “This isn’t a game it’s real. We need soldiers who are fast, smart, strong, and above all brave enough to make the necessary sacrifices.” \n\nHe stopped pacing and took off the glove on his left hand. Every recruit in the room was shocked, his left hand was mechanical. “Lost this hand to an energy blade while defending a prophet, I was lucky though he could’ve just killed me.” He put the glove back on and finished his speech. “As I said before we don’t need show-offs, every time you’re on a mission your life and the lives of everyone in your team are in danger.\n\nHe pressed a button on his watch and two doors opened across the room. He walked across and signaled for the cadets to follow. The left room was for the final stage of recruitment. The other was a port center, where anyone could be teleported home.\n\n“Last chance.” The green Koronian said “If you want to go home there’s your way out, if not just go in there sit down and let the machine do the rest.” Most of the recruits were hesitant, but only the bravest of them headed for the door on the left, Obeg and Thar were one of them. They sat down next to the machine and it did the rest. Four metal walls surrounded Obeg as the process began. First it scanned his entire body all the way up. \n\nAfter it was done reading his brain waves a mechanical arm appeared and scanned the back of his neck. Obeg braced himself as the arm plunged into his neck sending a sharp pain through his body. When it was done a cryptic symbol was left in the exact same spot. Obeg knew that it was just some data code that helped sync him with his body armor; he just wished it wasn’t so painful. Finally the last and the most exciting part, he received his morpher watch. He strapped it to his left arm and checked it out. Blue and black features with the spiral symbol of the galaxy in the center. He was tempted to just transform right there, but before he could the alarm went off.\n\nWARNING! ENEMY SHIPS APPROCHING!\n\nWARNING! ENEMY SHIPS APPROCHING!\n\n“Enemy ships, here!?” Obeg shouted as he hopped out of the machine just in time to see the other recruits heading out the room.\n\n“Hey kid, move your tail!” Obeg turned around and saw the big green Koronian from earlier leading another group of recruits out of the room.\n\nObeg hustled as fast as he could to the other side of the room he could hear starships and turrets firing outside. “What the hell is going on!?” Obeg thought to himself not even realizing that one of the recruiting machines was about to fall on him.\n\n“Damn kid!” The green Koronian shouted as he pulled out a blaster and fired at the machine.\n\nThe blast caught Obeg’s attention and he leaped out of the way finally making it to the other room. “Thanks Sir.” Obeg said with a smile, but it quickly disappeared when he saw the serious face on the larger Koronian.\n\n“Listen kid, I’m not your babysitter.” The Koronian said as he shoved a gun into Obeg’s chest. “And the names Captain Beja. Now turn on that morpher and head for the escape pods!”\n\n“Um, yes sir.” With that Obeg switched on his morpher and in a flash of blue light Obeg’s outfit had transformed into black jumpsuit with blue stripes on the side from head to toe. “Whoa! This is badass.” \n\nObeg left the room running through the hallway. All around him red lights were flashing and people were running to the escape pods. Obeg joined them and was halfway there until a thought hit him like a plasma gun. “Father…”\n\nObeg had to know where his father was, he had to make sure he was alright. He raced past the other recruits heading towards the control room, as soon as he turned the corner he crashed into a black and red figure.\n\n“Obeg!?” Obeg recognized the voice as Thar’s. He looked up at Thar who was wearing a black jumpsuit similar to his own except it had red stripes on the sides instead of blue. “Obeg what are you doing? We have to get out of here.”\n\nObeg stood up and straightened himself. “I have to find my father. What if he’s in trouble?”\n\nThar just shook his head. “Obeg, I know you’re worried about your father, but he’s a general I’m sure he’ll be fine.”\n\n“I still have to see him!” Obeg roared.\n\n“Fine, but I’m coming with you. I gotta make sure you don’t die before we both get to the academy.”\n\nObeg didn’t expect that. He could get them both killed and yet Thar was willing to give up his chance to get to the escape pods and head straight to the academy to help him find his father.\n\n“Thanks Thar.” Obeg said and with that they both raced down the corridor heading for the control room.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t****\n\n“Direct power to the blasters! We have to make sure the recruits get to the academy,” said a large orange Koronian with black stripes, wearing a green uniform “I want each and every one of those ships blasted out of the galaxy!”\n\n“Yes Sir, General Sol,” the crew shouted. \n\nMore and more ships appeared out of nowhere, they were like a swarm of locust attacking the ship without mercy. If the mothership would just show itself they could easily destroy them all, but apparently the enemy discovered away to install warpdrives in smaller ships.\n\nJust then the doors opened and two Koronian recruits charged in.\n\n“Father!” Obeg shouted.\n\nGeneral Sol turned around with a shocked look on his face. Of all times for his son to come it had to be during an attack.\n\n“Obeg what are you doing here,” General Sol roared. “You should have been off this ship by now!”\n\nObeg didn’t scare easily, but seeing his father angry as he was now made his legs quiver. An enraged Koronian wasn’t something you would want to see and it wasn’t something you would easily forget. When a Koronian goes berserk they lose themselves in anger and rage, mostly killing anything they consider an enemy. \n\nIt took all of General Sol’s own willpower to keep him from just tearing Obeg apart. Thar stood outside the room scared of what Obeg’s father might do, but he was ready to strike if he put one claw on Obeg. The same was with the crew, if General Sol lost it they would have stop him at any cost. \n\nGeneral Sol let out a long sigh. “Obeg listen to me; get to the escape pods now. We’ll talk about this later.”\n\nObeg looked away from his father. “Yes sir…” Obeg said as he raced out of the room.\n\n“Obeg, wait up!” Thar shouted as he chased after Obeg.\n\nObeg slowed down as he let Thar catch up with him. Then he just stood there and thought “Why am I here?” A number of reasons came up inside his mind. The family’s honor, the thrill, the excitement, and tradition. But what surprised him was that winning his father’s love was at the bottom of the list. Obeg didn’t join the academy just to be with his father. He thought that was always the reason, but he never thought that it was just to help people and prove himself to everyone. Although he didn’t mean to disappoint his father. The best thing he could do now was to survive.\n\n“Hey Obeg, you okay?” Thar asked snapping Obeg out of his thoughts.\n\n“Yeah Thar, let’s just get out of here before” \n\nJust then an explosion came and sent Obeg and Thar flying to the wall. When the smoke cleared they saw a large Odinien wearing basic space armor of the enemy alliance. \n\nOdinniens are horse like aliens that come from the planet Odin. Their planet has unpredictable weather patterns and the people seem to have the power over wind or electricity. Obeg observed the Odinien and from the size of his horn he appeared to be in his early twenties. Odiniens grow horns on their foreheads when they reach adolescence. Even with that knowledge it’s still a little tricky determining their age, it always is with different species. \n\n“We’ll look what we got here,” the Odinien said with a smug grin. “Two little rookies lost in a burning ship. Hey Mob get in here, we got some trash to dump!”\n\n“Sure thing Lhu!” Another Odinien said as he came out of the smoke, this one was pretty tall but wasn’t that muscular which meant he had little experience.\n\nObeg let out small growl before he turned to Thar. “I’ll take the big one, and you take the toothpick!” Obeg said as he charged Lhu.\n\n“Who’s a toothpick!?” Mob shouted not even noticing Thar closing in on him.\n\n“You are!” Thar said with a roar as he gave the Odinien a good right hook to the jaw.\n\n“Obeg clawed at Lhu but the Odinien was able to dodge the attack, then Obeg tried again and again Lhu dodged, Obeg then jumped up and bite down on the Odinien’s mouth. \n\n“Yyyaaarrggh!” Lhu yelled as he pulled Obeg off of him. “You little piece of shit!” Lhu said as he slammed Obeg down. Obeg got back up and attempted to breathe fire on the Odinien but Lhu sent a karate chop to Obeg’s neck. Obeg fell down to his knees barely able to breathe. “Heh, no breath, no fire.” Lhu said as he picked Obeg up by the tail and began swinging him across the room. Lhu then started slamming Obeg against the wall until he thought the little Koronian had enough. “Time to end this.” Lhu said as he pulled out a strange mask-like device. \n\nObeg was still dazed from being tossed around that he didn’t even notice Lhu come up and slip the strange device on his face. “Mmmhhh ooommmpp.” Obeg struggled as the device locked itself around his face.\n\n“Don’t worry this Aero Unit will suck all the air right out of you,” Lhu said as he held Obeg down. “You won’t even feel death!” The Odinien laughed as Obeg struggled to break free.\n\nIt was getting harder for Obeg to breathe. His vision was getting cloudy but he could still hear Lhu laughing at him. “No way, I can’t die here! Not yet!” Obeg thought as he desperately tried to escape, but it was hopeless. \n\nJust then Obeg saw something. It looked like someone with dark skin, wearing a blue jumpsuit and two dual energy blades. He appeared to be talking to Lhu, but Obeg could barely understand them.\n\n“Leave…alone!” The blue figure said.\n\n“Who the…are you!?” Lhu shouted back.\n\n“I said…my da…!” What? What was he saying?\n\n“Your what!?” That’s all Lhu said before the blue figure dashed across the hallway and sliced off the death mask and cut him up, not enough to kill the Odinien but he sure wasn’t getting back up.\n\nObeg was still weak and trying to get some air back in his lungs. He was still having trouble telling what was going on but he could see the strange figure coming towards him.\n\n“Are you okay?” The stranger, Obeg’s rescuer asked. Obeg tried to get a good look at him but his vision was still blurry. Whoever this person was he looked… weird. He had no fur, scales, or horns on his body, except for the hair on his head. He smelled strange too, no race Obeg had ever met before, yet he could sense Koronian blood in this stanger.\n\n“Here let me take a look at you.” The stranger said. Obeg felt his hands around his muzzle, they were… soft! He couldn’t be a Koronian he didn’t sound like it, smell like it, or feel like it. Yet Obeg knew in his heart that he was.\n\nAs the stranger pulled out a small green sphere, most likely a healing unit someone came down the corridor. “Obeg!” It was Thar’s voice.\n\n“Uh oh! Got to go!” The stranger said as he raced off.\n\n“Wait!” Obeg shouted. The only words he could say before another explosion rocked the ship.\n\nThar appeared out of the smoke and pulled Obeg up. “Come on Obeg, we have to get out of here now!” Thar said as he and Obeg raced to the escape pods. When they entered the room they gasped in horror. All the escape pods were gone.\n\n“No…” Thar said as he desperately searched for any available pods. “Come on, there’s got to be one around here somewhere.”\n\n“It’s all my fault…” Obeg said quietly. If he had just done what he was supposed to they would be home free but now.\n\n“Hey!” Obeg and Thar both turned around to the voice they had heard. It was that same voice, the one who had saved him. Whoever it was they were hiding behind the wall and then in the next second he ran.\n\n“Wait, come back here!” Obeg shouted as he and Thor chased after him. After a while they came across an empty three-way room. “Where did he go?” Obeg asked. Just then a large bright light came from the other room to the left. When Obeg and Thar went in they found another escape pod!\n\n“Thank Suhhulaaz!” Thar shouted. “Come on, let’s get out of here.”\n\nObeg and Thar entered the escape pod and set the coordinates. In a few moments they were soaring though space heading for their destination the Space Ranger Academy.\n\n“Man I thought we were dead for sure, huh Obeg? Thar asked Obeg, but Obeg was still looking at the ship that was exploding piece by piece. “Obeg?”\n\n“We owe that guy our lives,” Obeg said as he stared at the stars. “If it wasn’t for him we would be dead right now. I don’t know if I can ever repay him for that.”\n\nThar just smiled and sat near Obeg. “I know how you can repay him.” Thar said. Obeg was confused. How do you repay a guy who just saved your ass twice? “You can repay him by living your dream and becoming the best warrior ever.”\n\nObeg just smiled Thar. “Okay, then that’s what I’ll do. Next time I see him I’ll thank him. And I’ll make sure I never have to get resuced by anybody again!” And with that Obeg let out a huge roar and Thar did the same. And now the real adventure begins.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "    Space Ranger Academy: A Warriors Heart

“Ok this is it.  I’m going to prove to the entire galaxy that I’m the best warrior ever.” Obeg said.  Obeg was an Orange scaled Koronian with blue stripes on his body and if you’re wondering what a Koronian is their aliens.  

Koronians are a warrior race that resembles the tyrannosaurus with tiger stripes on their bodies. They can breathe fire, ice, or poison.  Their planet is a Jurassic jungle and it’s pretty hot there too especially during the summer.  Some of the other races think of them as barbarians, but when you get to know one they’re pretty brave and noble so they often make great defenders of the galaxy.

Obeg was one of those Koronians.  He trained all his life to join the Space Ranger Academy.  He spent years learning new moves, honing his body, and working the latest technology.  He really had a lot to live up to; considering his great ancestor was one of the warriors who founded the Constellation of Brotherhood and defeated the Parasite.  His father was also a general in the Galactic Army and now that Obeg was fifth teen he could now be enrolled into the school.

“Getting ready to go little bro.”  Obeg turned around to see a large cyan Koronian with yellow stripes in his doorway.

“Yeah Cene, I got everything packed.  Next stop the East Sector!”  Obeg said with a loud roar.  He expected his big brother to come up with some smart comment, but when he looked at him he saw that he was a bit worried.  Obeg knew his brother didn’t like the idea of him going into space.  The most deaths in the galaxy were caused by space pirates, meteors, space mines from the Kachunine war.  In short it was safer to live on a deserted asteroid field than becoming a space soldier.

“Hey Cene, don’t worry.  I’m not a hatchling anymore,” Obeg said as he tried to leave the room.  “I can take care of myself now.”  Obeg slipped out of the room but soon felt his brother’s hand on his tail.

“Just be careful alright,” Cene said as he turned Obeg around.  “And come back whenever you have a break, don’t be like …father.”  Cene’s fist subconsciously curled up.

“I want …to be like him,” Obeg said softly.  He knew it hurt his brother for him to say that but he really looked up to their father, not that he was ever around.  “But I promise I will visit.”

His brother gave him a smile as he patted him on the head.  “Hey, how about we spar before you go!”  Cene said with eager eyes.  Cene loved to fight, everyday he would find someone to challenge, he won most of the time too so he would be a good sparring partner.

Obeg looked at his cyber watch.  He had two hours until the ship arrived so he decided to have some fun with his bro.  

\t\t\t\t\t****

Ten minutes later Obeg arrived in the training room and found his brother in the ring.  His brother stood there in his traditional Koronian loincloth, stretching his muscles ready for a fight.  Obeg noticed he was wearing an elastic belt around his waist.  It wasn’t too surprising seeing as how fat his brother was, but besides his gut Cene was a very muscular guy.

Obeg himself was very muscular.  Although he was short for his age his body put most of the other males to shame.  Cene couldn’t help but stare at his little brother while he walked into the ring.  Obeg removed his shirt and showed the body that he worked hard for after ten years of intense training.  Cene could feel himself erecting at the sight of his brother in his blue gym shorts.  He walked over to the control panel and adjusted the settings.

“1 Round, 20 minutes, Rock field.”   The computer said as the room slowly transformed from weights and punching bags to an open rocky field.  Cene and Obeg got in defensive positions and started circling each other.  Claws ready, teeth showing, eyes burning for action, and the low growls that were followed with the breath of fire.

Ding! Ding!  The bell rung and two Koronians charged at each other.  They grabbled for a short time until Obeg jumped up and whipped his tail around sending Cene to the ground.  He attempted to claw but Cene got up faster than he thought he would and grabbed Obeg.  He brought him to his chest and squeezed him tightly.  Obeg let out a roar as he desperately tried to escape the bearhug.  

“If I can still get you in this hold I don’t think you need to be going anywhere!” Cene said as he added more pressure to the hold.

Obeg was in serious trouble no matter what he did Cene held on tight. He was starting to lose consciousness when he noticed Cene pulling him up closer to his face.  He was breathing hard and taking in Obeg’s scent.

“Pervert.” Obeg thought before he finally broke free and put his brother in a headlock.

Cene tried to escape, but Obeg picked him up and slammed him to the ground dazing him for awhile.  When Cene got back up he saw Obeg spit some fire in his direction, making that little “bring it” taunt. Without thinking Cene charged at Obeg and swung at him, but Obeg simply stepped out of the way and then applied a masterlock on his brother.

“Sorry Cene, but I’m going! Obeg said as he struggled with Cene’s attempts to get loose. “I’ve been training my whole life for this and if I have to kick your ass to prove I’m ready then that’s what I’m gonna do!

Cene was real mad now. There was no way he was about to lose to his little brother.  He started thrashing around or as much as he could with Obeg holding him still, but the hold Obeg had on his brother was starting to weaken until Cene finally broke free. In a split second Cene turned around grabbed Obeg and slammed him to the ground.  Not even waiting for him to get up he body slammed his little brother with all his weight ending the match.  

Cene got up and snorted some fire “Learn your place brother.” He let out a roar as he stood over his little brother, but when Obeg didn’t move or say anything he started to worry.  

“Hey, Obeg you all right?”  Cene looked at Obeg and saw he was unconscious.  He tried waking him up but it didn’t work.  “Aww men…come on bro wake up.”

Cene was about to get a med kit until he noticed his brother had a bulge.  He looked at him one more time.  He seemed to be alright a little bruise here and there but besides that he was perfectly fine.

“He’s not hurt, just…sleeping.”  Cene thought as he touched the bulge, then he slowly started rubbing it and it slowly started to grow.  Cene breathed heavily as he removed his brother’s shorts and massaged his sheath.  “Man… I wonder how big it can get?”  Cene bent down and licked it. He never tried this with anyone before especially not his own brother. He kept on licking and as pre cum started to come out. He licked it and it didn’t taste nasty at all and the scent was too wonderful to ignore. He swallowed it being consumed by his sexual lust and not even noticing that Obeg had woken up.

“H-Hey what the hell are you doing!”  Obeg said kicking his brother off him.  He pulled his shorts back on and marched out of the room.  

\t\t\t\t\t****

“Obeg wait!”  Cene yelled chasing his brother down the hallway.  “I’m sorry, please don’t tell anyone.”  Cene begged.  Obeg turned around and faced his brother he was obviously embarrassed and ashamed, but Obeg couldn’t believe he tried ‘that’ with him, and while he was unconscious.  

“I already knew.”  Obeg said bluntly.  Cene was shocked he thought it was his own dark secret but someone knew, someone knew he liked males.

“Does… anyone else know?”

“I don’t know, but you ask to wrestle a lot and then you always have a bulge so…”

“I see… thanks bro.  And I’m sorry.”  Cene turned away from his brother and let a single tear run down his face.

Obeg wanted to say something.  It wasn’t his fault his brother was this way and he didn’t have a problem with it some males just like being with other males, of course if their father found out he’d go ballistic.  He tried to cheer his brother up but just then the doors slid open.

“Hey brother, brother!  Look what I made!”  A little Koronian said.

“Hey Sido, what’s up?”  Sido was the youngest of the three brothers.  He had yellow scales with green stripes and while his two big brothers were into action and adventure Sido loved technology.  He once took apart Obeg’s Navigating Tactics system just to see what makes the beeping noise.

“Brother, I made this for you!  I call it the A.R.T.”

“The ART?”  Obeg asked as he took the little disk.”

“Yeah, it stands for Armed Reception Transmitter.  Just put the chip in your watch, it can fire mini bombs and tap into any communication signal.”  Obeg smiled at Sido and patted him on the head.

“Thanks bro, I’m sure it’ll come in handy.”  Obeg said as he put the chip in his pocket.  You weren’t supposed to put new chips into your tech especially ones made by kids.  It would have to be approved by the Solar Universal Network; otherwise it might mess up the watch or send a virus though the system.

“Speaking of gifts I got one for you two bro, come with me.”  Obeg and Sido followed Cene into his room. Inside were a bunch of books of various kinds, some work out equipment, and his set of guns on the shelf.  Obeg sniffed around and discovered that the whole room smelled of his brother’s lustful scent.

“He must have been masturbating.” Obeg thought. Cene reached in his drawer and pulled out a blue sun shaped necklace.  The sun was the symbol of the Koronian race.  They worshiped the sun god, Suhhulaaz who gave them strength, but for the races who believe in logic Koronians absorb solar energy to get stronger, which is why they have huge feast during the night to restore their energy once the sun goes down.

“What is it?” Obeg asked as he put it around his neck

“It’s a good luck charm.  Mom made it for Dad but…”  Cene stopped talking.  Nobody really liked talking about their mother; she died shortly after Sido was hatched.  That’s when their father started spending more time working instead of coming home.

“I’ll never take it off.”  Obeg said as his watch started beeping, he had twenty minutes to get to the recruitment center.  He ran to his room and quickly changed clothes. He grabbed his bag and was already halfway through the door.  “See ya guys!  I’m off!”

“Obeg! Be careful!” Cene yelled.

“Bye brother! Good luck!” Sido yelled.

Obeg waved goodbye to his brothers, he would miss them, but he had his own dreams to pursue and his adventurers would lead him all over the galaxy.

\t\t\t\t\t****

2. Obeg looked outside the window of the Recruit Ship, he was actually in space!  It was more exciting than he ever dreamed.  Stars, comets, he could even see his own planet which was getting smaller every second.

“Hey Obeg, are you still staring at that window?”  Obeg snapped out of his daydreaming and turned towards the red Koronian sitting next to him.

“Sorry Thar, I’m just real excited!”  Thar had been Obeg’s best friend since they were hatchlings.  He was loyal, carefree, and had red scales with black stripes.  Thar was taller than Obeg and had an over muscled build.  He also had long black hair, which made Obeg a little jealous since few male Koronians had hair.

“So Thar, what are you majoring in?”

“I’m going for the air force.  I think I can serve the galaxy better in an air ship than on the ground.”  Obeg was more of a ground person but he knew Thar loved flying and he would be a great wingman.  “I’m telling ya Obeg, someday I’m gonna have my own ship with my name on the side.”

“He he, well you do that.  Me I’m going to become the greatest warrior in the galaxy!”

“You can’t be the ‘greatest’ Obeg.  There will always be someone stronger than you.”

“Then I’ll just train even harder,” Obeg stood up and gave a loud roar.  “I won’t stop until I’m the very best.”

\t\t\t\t\t****

“The next few hours weren’t very exciting, well they were to Obeg he couldn’t stop moving from one spot to the next.  He went into every section of the ship before he was called for the final part of recruitment, actually the only place he couldn’t get to was the control room, where his father was.

“All recruits report to room C1.”  The computer announced with that Obeg headed for room C1.  When he arrived he was one of the first to show up so he stood in line and waited for the rest.

“All right rookies, listen up!”  A heavy green Koronian with purple stripes roared.  “Now I don’t need to tell you what you’re putting at risk here, and since you’re already on this ship you’ve obviously seen the recordings of actual battle.”  Obeg remembered, it was a test to see if they were mentally ready to join the academy.  The only thing that really scared him was that footage of two soldiers dying on an ice planet, he could die anywhere except for in the snow, the thought made him shiver.

“Now this is a dangerous time to be joining the academy.  An unknown alien alliance has declared war on the galactic council and all star systems that are under its control.”  He started pacing in front of all the young warriors.  “This isn’t a game it’s real.  We need soldiers who are fast, smart, strong, and above all brave enough to make the necessary sacrifices.”  

He stopped pacing and took off the glove on his left hand.  Every recruit in the room was shocked, his left hand was mechanical.  “Lost this hand to an energy blade while defending a prophet, I was lucky though he could’ve just killed me.”  He put the glove back on and finished his speech.  “As I said before we don’t need show-offs, every time you’re on a mission your life and the lives of everyone in your team are in danger.

He pressed a button on his watch and two doors opened across the room.  He walked across and signaled for the cadets to follow.  The left room was for the final stage of recruitment.  The other was a port center, where anyone could be teleported home.

“Last chance.”  The green Koronian said “If you want to go home there’s your way out, if not just go in there sit down and let the machine do the rest.”  Most of the recruits were hesitant, but only the bravest of them headed for the door on the left, Obeg and Thar were one of them.  They sat down next to the machine and it did the rest.  Four metal walls surrounded Obeg as the process began.  First it scanned his entire body all the way up.  

After it was done reading his brain waves a mechanical arm appeared and scanned the back of his neck.  Obeg braced himself as the arm plunged into his neck sending a sharp pain through his body.  When it was done a cryptic symbol was left in the exact same spot.  Obeg knew that it was just some data code that helped sync him with his body armor; he just wished it wasn’t so painful.  Finally the last and the most exciting part, he received his morpher watch.  He strapped it to his left arm and checked it out.  Blue and black features with the spiral symbol of the galaxy in the center. He was tempted to just transform right there, but before he could the alarm went off.

WARNING! ENEMY SHIPS APPROCHING!

WARNING! ENEMY SHIPS APPROCHING!

“Enemy ships, here!?”  Obeg shouted as he hopped out of the machine just in time to see the other recruits heading out the room.

“Hey kid, move your tail!”  Obeg turned around and saw the big green Koronian from earlier leading another group of recruits out of the room.

Obeg hustled as fast as he could to the other side of the room he could hear starships and turrets firing outside.  “What the hell is going on!?”  Obeg thought to himself not even realizing that one of the recruiting machines was about to fall on him.

“Damn kid!”  The green Koronian shouted as he pulled out a blaster and fired at the machine.

The blast caught Obeg’s attention and he leaped out of the way finally making it to the other room.  “Thanks Sir.”  Obeg said with a smile, but it quickly disappeared when he saw the serious face on the larger Koronian.

“Listen kid, I’m not your babysitter.”  The Koronian said as he shoved a gun into Obeg’s chest.  “And the names Captain Beja.  Now turn on that morpher and head for the escape pods!”

“Um, yes sir.” With that Obeg switched on his morpher and in a flash of blue light Obeg’s outfit had transformed into black jumpsuit with blue stripes on the side from head to toe.  “Whoa! This is badass.”  

Obeg left the room running through the hallway.  All around him red lights were flashing and people were running to the escape pods.  Obeg joined them and was halfway there until a thought hit him like a plasma gun. “Father…”

Obeg had to know where his father was, he had to make sure he was alright.  He raced past the other recruits heading towards the control room, as soon as he turned the corner he crashed into a black and red figure.

“Obeg!?”  Obeg recognized the voice as Thar’s.  He looked up at Thar who was wearing a black jumpsuit similar to his own except it had red stripes on the sides instead of blue.  “Obeg what are you doing? We have to get out of here.”

Obeg stood up and straightened himself.  “I have to find my father.  What if he’s in trouble?”

Thar just shook his head.  “Obeg, I know you’re worried about your father, but he’s a general I’m sure he’ll be fine.”

“I still have to see him!”  Obeg roared.

“Fine, but I’m coming with you.  I gotta make sure you don’t die before we both get to the academy.”

Obeg didn’t expect that.  He could get them both killed and yet Thar was willing to give up his chance to get to the escape pods and head straight to the academy to help him find his father.

“Thanks Thar.”  Obeg said and with that they both raced down the corridor heading for the control room.

\t\t\t\t\t****

“Direct power to the blasters!  We have to make sure the recruits get to the academy,” said a large orange Koronian with black stripes, wearing a green uniform “I want each and every one of those ships blasted out of the galaxy!”

“Yes Sir, General Sol,” the crew shouted.

More and more ships appeared out of nowhere, they were like a swarm of locust attacking the ship without mercy.  If the mothership would just show itself they could easily destroy them all, but apparently the enemy discovered away to install warpdrives in smaller ships.

Just then the doors opened and two Koronian recruits charged in.

“Father!”  Obeg shouted.

General Sol turned around with a shocked look on his face.  Of all times for his son to come it had to be during an attack.

“Obeg what are you doing here,” General Sol roared.  “You should have been off this ship by now!”

Obeg didn’t scare easily, but seeing his father angry as he was now made his legs quiver.  An enraged Koronian wasn’t something you would want to see and it wasn’t something you would easily forget.  When a Koronian goes berserk they lose themselves in anger and rage, mostly killing anything they consider an enemy.  

It took all of General Sol’s own willpower to keep him from just tearing Obeg apart.  Thar stood outside the room scared of what Obeg’s father might do, but he was ready to strike if he put one claw on Obeg.  The same was with the crew, if General Sol lost it they would have stop him at any cost.  

General Sol let out a long sigh. “Obeg listen to me; get to the escape pods now.  We’ll talk about this later.”

Obeg looked away from his father.  “Yes sir…”  Obeg said as he raced out of the room.

“Obeg, wait up!”  Thar shouted as he chased after Obeg.

Obeg slowed down as he let Thar catch up with him.  Then he just stood there and thought “Why am I here?” A number of reasons came up inside his mind. The family’s honor, the thrill, the excitement, and tradition. But what surprised him was that winning his father’s love was at the bottom of the list.  Obeg didn’t join the academy just to be with his father.  He thought that was always the reason, but he never thought that it was just to help people and prove himself to everyone.  Although he didn’t mean to disappoint his father.  The best thing he could do now was to survive.

“Hey Obeg, you okay?”  Thar asked snapping Obeg out of his thoughts.

“Yeah Thar, let’s just get out of here before”  

Just then an explosion came and sent Obeg and Thar flying to the wall.  When the smoke cleared they saw a large Odinien wearing basic space armor of the enemy alliance.

Odinniens are horse like aliens that come from the planet Odin.  Their planet has unpredictable weather patterns and the people seem to have the power over wind or electricity.  Obeg observed the Odinien and from the size of his horn he appeared to be in his early twenties.  Odiniens grow horns on their foreheads when they reach adolescence.  Even with that knowledge it’s still a little tricky determining their age, it always is with different species.  

“We’ll look what we got here,” the Odinien said with a smug grin.  “Two little rookies lost in a burning ship.  Hey Mob get in here, we got some trash to dump!”

“Sure thing Lhu!”  Another Odinien said as he came out of the smoke, this one was pretty tall but wasn’t that muscular which meant he had little experience.

Obeg let out small growl before he turned to Thar.  “I’ll take the big one, and you take the toothpick!”  Obeg said as he charged Lhu.

“Who’s a toothpick!?”  Mob shouted not even noticing Thar closing in on him.

“You are!”  Thar said with a roar as he gave the Odinien a good right hook to the jaw.

“Obeg clawed at Lhu but the Odinien was able to dodge the attack, then Obeg tried again and again Lhu dodged, Obeg then jumped up and bite down on the Odinien’s mouth.  

“Yyyaaarrggh!”  Lhu yelled as he pulled Obeg off of him.  “You little piece of shit!”  Lhu said as he slammed Obeg down.  Obeg got back up and attempted to breathe fire on the Odinien but Lhu sent a karate chop to Obeg’s neck.  Obeg fell down to his knees barely able to breathe.  “Heh, no breath, no fire.”  Lhu said as he picked Obeg up by the tail and began swinging him across the room.  Lhu then started slamming Obeg against the wall until he thought the little Koronian had enough.  “Time to end this.”  Lhu said as he pulled out a strange mask-like device.  

Obeg was still dazed from being tossed around that he didn’t even notice Lhu come up and slip the strange device on his face.  “Mmmhhh ooommmpp.”  Obeg struggled as the device locked itself around his face.

“Don’t worry this Aero Unit will suck all the air right out of you,” Lhu said as he held Obeg down.  “You won’t even feel death!”  The Odinien laughed as Obeg struggled to break free.

It was getting harder for Obeg to breathe.  His vision was getting cloudy but he could still hear Lhu laughing at him.  “No way, I can’t die here! Not yet!”  Obeg thought as he desperately tried to escape, but it was hopeless.  

Just then Obeg saw something.  It looked like someone with dark skin, wearing a blue jumpsuit and two dual energy blades.  He appeared to be talking to Lhu, but Obeg could barely understand them.

“Leave…alone!”  The blue figure said.

“Who the…are you!?”  Lhu shouted back.

“I said…my da…!”  What?  What was he saying?

“Your what!?”  That’s all Lhu said before the blue figure dashed across the hallway and sliced off the death mask and cut him up, not enough to kill the Odinien but he sure wasn’t getting back up.

Obeg was still weak and trying to get some air back in his lungs.  He was still having trouble telling what was going on but he could see the strange figure coming towards him.

“Are you okay?”  The stranger, Obeg’s rescuer asked.  Obeg tried to get a good look at him but his vision was still blurry.  Whoever this person was he looked… weird.  He had no fur, scales, or horns on his body, except for the hair on his head.  He smelled strange too, no race Obeg had ever met before, yet he could sense Koronian blood in this stanger.

“Here let me take a look at you.”  The stranger said.  Obeg felt his hands around his muzzle, they were… soft!  He couldn’t be a Koronian he didn’t sound like it, smell like it, or feel like it.  Yet Obeg knew in his heart that he was.

As the stranger pulled out a small green sphere, most likely a healing unit someone came down the corridor.  “Obeg!”  It was Thar’s voice.

“Uh oh!  Got to go!”  The stranger said as he raced off.

“Wait!”  Obeg shouted.  The only words he could say before another explosion rocked the ship.

Thar appeared out of the smoke and pulled Obeg up.  “Come on Obeg, we have to get out of here now!”  Thar said as he and Obeg raced to the escape pods.  When they entered the room they gasped in horror.  All the escape pods were gone.

“No…”  Thar said as he desperately searched for any available pods.  “Come on, there’s got to be one around here somewhere.”

“It’s all my fault…”  Obeg said quietly.  If he had just done what he was supposed to they would be home free but now.

“Hey!”  Obeg and Thar both turned around to the voice they had heard.  It was that same voice, the one who had saved him.  Whoever it was they were hiding behind the wall and then in the next second he ran.

“Wait, come back here!”  Obeg shouted as he and Thor chased after him.  After a while they came across an empty three-way room.  “Where did he go?”  Obeg asked.  Just then a large bright light came from the other room to the left.  When Obeg and Thar went in they found another escape pod!

“Thank Suhhulaaz!”  Thar shouted.  “Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Obeg and Thar entered the escape pod and set the coordinates.  In a few moments they were soaring though space heading for their destination the Space Ranger Academy.

“Man I thought we were dead for sure, huh Obeg?  Thar asked Obeg, but Obeg was still looking at the ship that was exploding piece by piece.  “Obeg?”

“We owe that guy our lives,” Obeg said as he stared at the stars.  “If it wasn’t for him we would be dead right now.  I don’t know if I can ever repay him for that.”

Thar just smiled and sat near Obeg.  “I know how you can repay him.”  Thar said.  Obeg was confused.  How do you repay a guy who just saved your ass twice?  “You can repay him by living your dream and becoming the best warrior ever.”

Obeg just smiled Thar.  “Okay, then that’s what I’ll do.  Next time I see him I’ll thank him.  And I’ll make sure I never have to get resuced by anybody again!”  And with that Obeg let out a huge roar and Thar did the same.  And now the real adventure begins.
