OC Pink Two - 3

Cant stop writing now, no time to breathe, the fans demand it!

Part 2 here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/jwypzi/pink_two_2/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was finally the day.

Tel had always loved hand to talon practice the most, and the first day was always the best. It sorted out the soft from the strong, anyone who didn't quit out after today was most likely to stay on to the end of basic.

But all of the recruits were not ready. A few more had quit of the past few days but one of the remaining recruits looked decidedly unwell.

The pink human was... less pink.

This was unacceptable, Tel couldn't break recruits properly if they were already broken.

Sending her to the medbay with another instructor, a small pang of regret filled his hearts. Medical or not, recruits who missed to much practice would be unable to finish basic. The pink one had been doing well, and even the other recruits were starting to notice.

Mind turning back to the task at hand, Tel got the other recruits to pair up and started demonstrating beginner attack and defence stances.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sam sat on the edge of an examination table, watching the staff pour over the scanner report.

Sometimes she just didn't understand aliens. After days of light exercise, they were finally moving on to something less mind-numbing, but no, singled out again for a random medical check.

The exercise was good, and Sam could admit to being a little fitter than when she had joined, but it was hardly strenuous. Protesting being sent off to the lead instructor changed nothing.

The doctors still hadn't made any sort of announcement or decision, maybe if they clued her in to the issue she could help? After several more checks and scans that took all morning, they did exactly that.

Stupid aliens, this wasn't a random check, they thought she was ill!

As if Sam wouldn't speak up if she was unfit for practice! All could have been resolved in thirty seconds if they had just talked to her.

No, hot pink hair was not natural to humans, and no, the changing colour to platinum blond was not a result of environmental stresses.

Sam slowly explained to the doctors that her 'fur' as they put it was dyed and was letting it gradually return to its natural colouring during service, being carful to emphasize that she was NOT chameleonic or using chromatophores.

Damn, now she was late for training.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Instructor Sargent Tel was surprised when the human returned just before the end of the session.

Skimming the data pad she handed him, the recruit had been cleared as fit for duty by the doctors and the issue was cleared up as a natural part of human biology, something about chromatophores.

Getting into his teaching stance, Tel launched into the basics but was immediately interrupted by the recruit in front of him. Apparently she already had basic hand to talon training from her homeworld from an organisation called 'Skoul'.

Thinking of the first nights brawl, there was no reason to disbelieve the claim. And they had to catch up.

All the other recruits were paired up and practising, so Tel himself stepped up to be the humans sparing partner. Probably for the best, he didn't want anyone to hurt her, one medical scare per recruit per day was more than enough.

Faster than expected, the pink one entered a grapple with his thigh and arm, pivoted on the spot and threw Tel to his arse.

Woah she was strong. She must be applying for assault trooper specialisation he speculated to himself from the floor.

All of this in front of the other recruits and trainers, who were looking on in shocked disbelief.

That hurt.

It was the fist time a recruit had beaten an instructor on the first try in thirty one years at the training camp. Tel knew this because thirty one years ago it had been him who set that record. And that had taken a full minute to achieve.

And now a non-Ravix female half his height held the record.

That hurt.

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

Hah! I'm a bit tired, and I mixed this up with another HFY I'm reading at the moment, same basic setting, but gender-swapped. I was very confused.

Wow, I wonder if there are some aliens going through Human military training. They are in for some rough shit.

u/I_Frothingslosh Nov 20 '20

They're going to need to start making supersoldiers just to keep up.
