Russia-Year 2020
An explosion opens up a vent that unleashing creatures of darkness into the world.
Major cities of nations worldwide were caught off guard and casualties were high. Russia was the first to fall. That day will forever be remembered as "Day 0", the start of it all.
In an effort to save the human race from extinction, nations worldwide sign a mutual defense act and established the Demonic Control Unit or "DCU" as a united armed front against the creatures.
But what the world didn't know was the with the monsters, an odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas was also unleash into the air. The gas seems to be harmless at first until a child was born was special power from a female who survived day 0.
It was later discovered that the gas seem granted unique special, sometimes odd powers to 15% of the children of women who were affected by the gas.
They were later to be labeled as class X.
Some of those special children will later join the DCU as special operatives.

USA-2040
Fort Silver, AL
It has been 20 years since day 0. The Demonic Control Unit has been the vanguard and defender of the last few remaining human cities and Stronghold.
At Fort Silver, Alaska is a DCU special military training base for class X children. They were either drafted or joined willingly at the age of 15. Many join for the benefits of better living conditions. Some join for revenge. The cadets are ranked into three classes.
1st class cadets are the children that DCU HQ deems to have powerful power that benefit and useful in the battlefield.
2nd class cadets are the children that DCU HQ deems useful in logistics but not on the battlefield.
3rd class cadets are children that don't fall into the 1st or 2nd.

0705 hours.
Voren Asher, Cadet 2nd class is rushing to morning formation as he had slept in. He emerges from the hallway of the barracks into the open air where he can see the rest of his unit already lined up in formation at attention in front drill sergeant.
"well, it seems sleeping beauty finally woken up." The drill sergeant started out to the unit. "Let's thank her for gracing us with your presence."
"Thank you, Cadet Asher, for gracing us with your present!" the unit shouted out in unison.
Voren stood at attention when he reached the drill sergeant. Sgt.Steele was always unfair to him and treated him badly. But as a draftee from an outer small settlement, he nowhere else to go.
"I apologize drill sergeant! I overslept. It won't happen again!" Voren reported.
He could feel the cold stares from his unit. They always had treated him badly and sometimes bully him as he was the unit's weakest link. Voren could already hear the mouthful he will get from them.
"Fall in cadet," Sgt. Steele ordered without even turning to face Voren.
"Yes, drill sergeant!" Voren barked before jogging into the formation in the last row.
He stood at attention as Steele begins roll call. The person next to him let out a soft laugh which caught his attention. The cadet next to him was a young girl name, Anna Forren. She was a 2nd class cadet with the power to speak to animals.
"Nice of you to join us Voren," she said softly and smiled."We'll be graduating by the end of the week so just hang in there okay?"
Anna was one of the few people in the unit that nice to him. Voren returns an uncomfortable smile back and went back to facing the front as his name was called.
-----------------------
The unit spends hours training and homing their power and skills as they were ordered to spar one another.
Voren's partner was Gray Middleton, a 1st class cadet. Gray's power was his voice. He can let out a hypersonic yell from his mouth. He can only use it a few times before he will lose his voice for a long period of time.
Voren's power was his eyes. Voren's eyes have quick reaction time and ability to process information, but the only downside is that it is sometimes too hard for his brain to keep up and process if there is too much going on around him.
"I was hoping I get to spar with you Asher," Gray said with a smug grin. "I'll teach you for being late."
Gray planted his feet firmly into the ground as he took a deep breath before letting out an ear-piercing yell toward Voren. Voren dived to the right as he was barely able to dodge that attack. It left his left ear ringing.
Voren quickly got to his feet and took off charging at Gray with his training sword. Gray was still recovering from his attack and wasn't about to react as Voren went for the back his legs and strike it costing Gray to fall to his knees.
Gray dropped to his knees as Voren place his sword at his neck.
"Do you yield?" Voren asked staring down at Gray.
"I....yield" Gray said defeated.
Voren withdraws his weapon from Gray's neck and offers his hand to help Gray up. "No hard feeling?"
Gray shallow his pride and took Voren's hand and nodded. The rest of the unit clapped and cheered as the two stand hands.
