Fan prequel: «Rooftop Training»
An original story by this site. Not part of the official canon.
On her first day at the academy Arcee was told she was too light for the front line. The instructor suggested she join communications.
The next morning she was on the training roof before anyone else, leaping between towers until her sensors complained of overheating. Then again. And again.
A month later the same instructor couldn't land a single hit on her in an entire bout. "Light isn't weak," Arcee said, helping him up. "You can see heavy from a mile away. Not me." That week she was transferred to reconnaissance.
