Here is the first part of chapter one lightside, as i see links dont work very well... anyway.

Terra Hawkins, a young, five foot seven, seventeen year-old girl, was about to take the trial that would give her her future as a Hunter. After seven years of long, hard, grueling training she had reached this moment. The moment that would determine her fate. She hoped to be a savior in these dark times. The war on Coral had driven her away; one day she hoped to return to her true home. These artificial walls were no home. She wanted to feel the winds through her hair again, see the oceans again. When the war was over she would return. He idea was if she can?t help her home world at least help its people. That is why she joined the Pioneer project.

She stood off to the side of a teleporter in a perfectly formed line of students, watching the doors to the virtual reality simulator. Soon a fifteen-year-old RAmar stepped out of VR crying. The instructor of the group looked him over. ?Ha, you expect to survive in reality if you can?t even live through a simulation?? He ripped up a small, plastic card. ?License denied.?

She was next. ?Hawkins, Terra Hawkins,? the instructor called out. She walked by him, and without even giving him a glance, said coolly, ?It?s Hawk.? She stepped into the VR teleporter and was instantly transported to the VR field.

The VR technology was so good, there was even wind, which slightly ruffled her dyed, lower back length, purple hair and baggy, red military-style pants. No one knew what color her hair really was; even her parents had long forgotten its natural color. Hawk ?straightened? her hat, which in reality meant she put it off to the right side of her head, crookedly. She tightened the black leather rubber shirt with the dark gray belts around her fine figure.

She looked around with her sharp, green eyes. They were about two inches apart and stared down her slender nose. A few strands of hair fell across her painted face, which was made up of thick dark green and brown lines, military camouflage paint. You could still see light skin underneath it as there were quite a few gaps. She clenched her well-established jaw line and took a step forward.

Second part of Chapter one lightside


The VR this time was a temple ruin.

Her gun materialized next to her; the instructor had finally sent it through. She picked up her Hell Laser rifle and the ‘stone’ door in front of her unlocked. The red stone in the center turned green and it slide open. She walked through and a small yellow bird dropped down in front of her. She kicked it and it ran away screeching. “This… is… pathetic…how could that guy fail this?” she muttered to herself.

She went on deeper into the temple. She could now clearly see the water moving below the stone walkways. A few more yellow birds appeared and attacked from behind. She spun around, grabbed one by the antenna like things on it’s head and tossed it over the broken stone railing. She smashed another one in the beak with the toe of her black boot that stopped right below her knees and were fastened to her red camo pants with metal rings. It fell on it’s back softly. She turned and walked casually down the walkway, rifle slung over her shoulder.

A giant blue monkey bear thing now blocked Hawk’s path. She didn’t take the time to analyze it. It beat it’s chest hard and spewed flame across the sky. Hawk aimed her Hell Laser and fired. The monkey bear stopped flailing it’s arms and fell over backward, with a hole in it’s head. After about twenty minutes of fighting the birds and monkey bears in various group sizes she walked through a door and found the floor was unsteady. The ground lurched and started to move underneath her. She lost her balance but soon steadied herself and found she had stepped onto a raft. It sped across the water through a channel that cut through the temple center.

FInal part of chapter one lightside.

Without warning a giant wormlike creature leapt from the water and hurdled itself over the raft and splashed water all over her when it landed on the other side. The system was good…the water felt cold on her face. She wiped away the liquid and some of her camouflage face paint came with it. Her green eyes glinted. “All right, you want a fight…you got it!” she yelled at it for no apparent reason more then she could.

She fired three quick shots at it, all of which were absorbed by the creature’s armor. She had just enough time to glance at a data readout on a silver, metal armband on her left arm which also housed her shield. The creature was identified as Barba Ray; no other data was available.

It swam swiftly alongside the raft and unleashed a round of energy balls. One hit Hawk directly in the chest, knocking her hard on her back. This VR was extremely realilistic. The pain she felt from the enrgy was intensive -- more then in any other VR she had experianced so far. When she got up Barba Ray was gone.

She looked around cautiously but there was no sign of it.

Then a giant spiked tendril suddenly exploded though the bottom of the raft. It torn through her pant leg and she stepped back in surprise. A second one tore through the raft to her right and then a third ripped into the raft below her. It would have impaled her but with expert reflex’s she dodged rolled out of the way. Almost directly in to a fourth tendril. She scrambled out of the way of another one and then they stopped coming.

Little bug like creatures that resembled Barba Ray jumped up onto the end of the raft and charged at her. She avoided all the blue ones fairly easily but a gold one rammed into her left leg, Sending her sprawling. When she went to get up she couldn’t, all she could do was prop herself up on her right leg for her left leg was paralyzed by the blow from the gold mini ray. Barba Ray rose above the waves and jumped high into the air and landed down hard on the raft. The raft dipped under the churning water and Hawk slid down it toward Barba Ray. Two hooks dug into the raft to keep Ray in place. Hawk looked directly at it. It had a red armor bone plating covering it’s head. Her Hell Laser slid by her. She grabbed it off and fired a shot into the head of Barba Ray. It didn’t do crap.

It slid off the raft the raft, it’s head pointed sky ward for a split second. She saw it. An unarmed section of bare flesh directly behind it’s jaw. It dived under the raft and came up on the other side. It raised up and prepared to smash the raft again. The time was now. The flesh was exposed. She steadied her Hell Laser rifle and fired, a single, well placed shot. The Photon bullet pierced its skin and blew out the armor on the top of it’s head as well as a fairly good sized chunk of brains. It shrieked and splashed around the channel, ramming into the sides of the temple wells until it lay still at the bottom of the cannel. The raft continued on leaving it far behind.

She looked at the Photon clip at the front of the rifle right below the barrel. It was still glowing yellow, but dimly. Its power was very weak now. A Photon clip could never expire; but to keep the Photon energy at full power it was good to replace them every now and then.

Just at that moment the temple shimmered around her and faded away. Hawk appeared back in the training room where she had begun. She stood up and calmly walked out the double doors. Her cloths and paint were back in perfect condition for they had really never been damaged. The instructor looked at Hawk and spoke, “Terra-.” Hawk glared at him, “Er, Hawk.” The instructor continued, “Principal Tyrell has called for you. Go to him now.”

Hawk turned toward the teleporter that would take him away from the VR simulators and took a step toward it. The instructor stopped her. “Don’t forget this now.” He handed her a Hunter’s License with her name and picture on it. “Just sign here and you’re fully registered. Congratulations.” Hawk took the pen and signed the license where he was pointing.

She stepped into the teleporter and was instantly transported to the governmental section of the city. She crossed the long thin bridge spanning the bottomless chasm. She ignored the Hunter’s Guild to her left. She glanced at the bank on the far end but stopped at another teleporter first. This one took her to the Principle’s office. She walked down the ramp to the end where Tyrell stood behind his desk with his secretary on his left and two scientists to his left. Principle Tyrell greeted her. “Welcome are you, Hawk the Ranger?” Hawk nodded. Tyrell went on “I have a special assignment for you…”
