Spartans: The last hope

100 children...
they never wanted this,
but the human race needed them,
hope...
these 100 children were the only last bit they had left,
once the covenant glassed over 12 planets...
billions were taken,
something had to be done.
They were only six year olds chosen to become the best The human race ever seen,
Spartans.

DNA augmentation left only 30 Spartan childeren left at the end of training,
8 years of playgrounds and jungle gyms and field exercises,
In the field they were the best,
Scouting terrain for snipers with paintballs, digging up live tank mines and becoming stronger and faster than what human anatomy could even picture,
thier tactics were so flawless they were like warriors with ESP communication,
Only 30 chosen few adapted to the augmentation,
The ones who didnt...
well they were injured, mutated, crippled for life,
the few that didnt die from augmentation,
were promoted to colonels, brigadier generals, captains,
they were the smartest,
Deja and Petty officer Chief Mendez taught them everything,
they were smarter then the best Naval scholars,
14 year olds with the body of 18 year old olympic athletes, capable of lifting 3 or 4 times thier body wieght and these children werent small by any means each wieghing over at least a buck fifty,
each able to run burts of up to 30 mph.
When in armor they looked like gods,
they were gods,
thier suits enhanced thier abilities,
the spartans were the only ones fit to wear them,
any normal human would have broken bones in thier armor,
The suits enhanced reflexes, speed and strength far past what any normal human could control,
only the 30 chosen few,
with bones denser then titanium and lighter then feathers
and with the strength of 10 men,
Yes these were the best, these were Spartans.

The playgrounds...
these were no ordinary playgrounds,
10-20 meters high,
with suspended platforms, walls for rappeling, monkey bars,
this playground was built for marines,
not children,
but these childeren were like no other,
they were taught to win as a team,
if ur team didnt win,
you didnt win,
and when your team finished last you were punished,
on the days they didnt train,
they were in a virtual classroom taught by an AI,
her name was Deja she had a conscience,
she was unique,
thier new mother,
much like other AI's,
she taught them everything,
algebra, geometry, trigonometry, english, history, battle tactics,
and what was not taught in the classroom,
was learned in the field and on the playground taught by Chief petty officer Mendez,
Thier new father,
the only family they had was each other.

These childeren were ready,
ready to fight the war the covenant started,
The Spartans were ready.
