Fiction:Dione Ardal

=History=

Childhood
Dione Bengo Ardal (Διονε Βενγο Αρδαλ in Soldarian) was born sometime in March, 2781 AD on planet Militora. As a hatchling, Dione was quite frail. Doctors believed that she would die within the first few days of her birth. Alexio Ardal, Dione's father, was stricken with grief. He believed that his genes were the reason why Dione was weak. Despite what the doctors predicted, Dione survived her infancy. Aela Flett, Dione's mother, tried to reassure her mate that Dione would survive.

During her childhood, Dione's health began to improve. Like most Soldarian children of all genders, she was shipped off to a training facility. Her younger brothers, Aion and Bion, entered two years later. Dione still was a bit sick, but her athleticism was amazing. She was stronger, faster, and more coordinated than any other cadet in the academy. Alexio began to take pride in being Dione's father, claiming that it was his genes that gave her such skills. In truth, Aela was the reason why Dione preformed so well in the academy. Dion had inherited the genetic alterations of Bengo Flett, Aela's father and Dione's grandfather.

One night a group of thugs attempted to rob the academy blind, holding many of the cadets hostage. Two of these hostages where Aion and Bion. Dione rushed into the academy alone to face them. The 9 year old girl fought her way through military trained thugs to save her brothers. During the fight with the leader of the criminals, Dione discovered that she could use Elemental Energy. She fired a bolt of lighting at the man and almost killed him.

Dione began to practice her lighting ability daily, often firing bolts into the sky whenever she wanted. The power was far to much for Dione to control however. She started damaging electrical equipment and even a few students were injured. The advisors had no idea what to do with the girl. Her brothers also gained the ability to create plasma, a form of Elemental Energy. They praised her for her feats, but believed that she and her brothers were far to dangerous to keep in the academy.

Aela, bing friends with Emperor Pulporious V, leader of the Soldarian Empire, learned of an academy on a Unified Alliance of Enlightenment controlled planet. The academy trained essence and elemental energy gifted children. Alexio was against sending Dione and her brothers to that world, but Aela was able to convince him that it was for the best.

Academy Training
In 2795 AD, Dione arrived with her brothers at the Ultra Commando academy. She was placed on a team with Blaize Moltran, Timaal Gyssealus, Nu'Iva Shal, and Vonnes Orala'Sim. She got along nicely with her teammates, as they were races she was quite familiar with. She eventually developed a crush on Vonnes, though he did not seem to return her feelings.

In 2800 AD, during her fifth year at the academy, Dione met a young female named Niyra Yeager and her team. Dione was not very fond of Niyra at first glance, almost mistaking her for a young female Soldarian. She was quite upset with Blaize for bringing her to their team's hiding spot. Over the course of the week, Dione warmed up to Niyra and her teammates.

Jutenhurse Attack
One night, great beasts known as Jutenhurse attacked the academy. Dione sprang into action, fighting the smaller enemies that followed the Jutenhurse into the Academy grounds. She realized that some of them were Blood Knights, a rebel faction of the Volver Empire who wanted the academy destroyed.

King Ziskin, king of the Biskin Empire, arrived on the planet with an army to defend the planet from the Blood Knights and the Jutenhurse. Dione recovered from the wounds she sustained in the medical tents.

Battling the Blood Knights
Dione, her teammates, and Niyra's team later went on a quest to eliminate the Blood Knight squad stationed on the planet. They fought dozens of the traitors, killing most of them. They later arrived at a volcano, where the commander was stationed. After a long battle Dione and her allies defeated the stationed Blood Knight squad, a feat that was quite remarkable for young warriors such as themselves.
