It’s that time again folks. Ventura, Kapteyn System - 2139 The Tenth Fleet was currently stationed outside Ventura’s orbit. Ventura was located in the middle of the system, making it a crucial planet to keep hold of in the war. It had been a year since Raphtalia had been liberated from her captors and since then she had been reading, writing, and learning how the Nebula she was standing in operates. Fortunately, she was a quick study. Now, as she was walking down the hall in her naval uniform, it almost felt as if her childhood was finally left behind her. Of course, before she could truly be assigned a role she would have to attend the Naval Academy on one of the Republic worlds but for now she was an apprentice to one of the crewmen who she had a feeling was slightly infatuated with her. Suddenly, an alarm rang throughout the ship. “We are under attack! All crew to their stations! All pilots report to the hangar area!” The CIC was attacking now? The planet had its strategic advantages but at this point it would be almost impossible to take back. The Confederacy was obviously getting desperate. But Raphtalia had no idea what was about to come next. The ship suddenly lurched as it’s systems suddenly shut down, pitching the entire ship into darkness before emergency power turned itself on. Were they just hit with an ion cannon? Raphtalia had no station to go to but she knew engineering would need all the help they could get. However, the sudden explosion next to her would send her flying as her head hit against the wall, knocking her out. - - - When Raphtalia came to, she was lying on a bed in what appeared to be the hospital wing. She heard the door near her open as someone walked in. “Oh good you’re awake.” Raphtalia looked over, seeing a girl with snow white hair wearing a pilot’s uniform. “You’re...Captain Snow?” “That’s right, though Lysithea is fine,” Snow replied as she helped her up. “How are you feeling?” “My head is killing me but I’m okay. How long was I out?” “Not long, I found you in the hallway and carried you back here.” “Wait, the attack...what happened?” “An enemy fleet ambushed us and they had a ship we haven’t seen before, a big one at that. It used some sort of large ion blast to knock out the entire fleet. Most of the crew escaped but some of the escape pods malfunctioned due to the attack. As far as I know, we’re the only ones left.” “Wait... so you stayed behind to help me?” “You’re part of this ship too, so why wouldn’t I? Besides, you wouldn’t be much help unconscious l,” she smirked. Raphtalia felt herself blush. “Oh um...I guess I never did introduce myself. I’m Raphtalia.” “A pleasure to meet you,” Lysithea said as the two shook hands. “Now we need to get out of here. We may not have an escape pod but we can always fly, so we need to head to the hangar.” The two made their way towards the hangar, though something was still bothering Raphtalia. “If we were attacked, why hasn’t this ship been destroyed?” “No idea, either we’re not worth wasting a few turbolaser salvos or they want to take it and salvage it. And we can’t have that.” They finally made it to the hangar. “You have any flight training?” Lysithea asked. “I haven’t...” “Well that narrows it down,” Lysithea replied as she headed over to an ARC-170. “Never actually flew one of these but I like to think it’s the Z-95’s big brother. I’ll need you to take the rear gunner seat. Can you handle it?” “Yeah, I know the layout pretty much.” Lysithea had to find and reboot an Astromech droid before it went into its socket on the ship. “The doors have been closed so we’ll just have to punch through,” she said as she tossed Lysithea a helmet. Raphtalia strapped into her seat as Lysithea checked all systems as the ship started warming up. “Are you ready?” “They’ll be on us as soon as we get out, huh?” “Yeah, which is why I’m gonna need you.” The engines came to life as the ship lifted up. Lysithea then aimed for the door and fired as two lasers punched a hole through the hangar doors, causing the suction of space to start pulling the other ships forward. “Here we go!” Lysithea punched it and the ship shot straight out of the hangar, faster than she imagined. “Wow this ship is faster than I expected!” Through the cockpit, Lysithea could see the remains of the Tenth Fleet, as well as the CIC ships nearby. “Look at the size of that thing...” she murmured. The ship in question was bigger than most CIC craft, and the ion cannon emplacement was hard to miss. Right now, all she had to do was jump to lightspeed and put this all behind them. But as she looked towards the large dreadnought, her mind was made up as she launched towards the fleet. Raphtalia had a feeling where they were going as the Republic fleet moved away from their position. “What are you doing!? We can’t take on a whole fleet by ourselves!” “I’m not taking on the entire fleet, I’m going after that ion cannon,” Lysithea said. “That ship took out an entire fleet and if we don’t take it out, we could lose this war and then what?” Raphtalia was silent and Lysithea wondered if she went too far. “I’m sorry, I-!” “No, you’re right, but now’s not the time to talk, I’m counting three bogeys on our tail.” “Got it, I’ll keep an eye on their cannons.” Droid starfighters were coming up behind them but Raphtalia was ready. She used the ship’s targeting computer and lined up her shot before opening fire. The cannons shot at a fast pace and she managed to clip one of the ship’s wings before it crashed into the other. “I got one!” “Great! Don’t get cocky!” Lysithea’s handling of the ship was almost unreal, she was able to duck and weave while doing some damage of her own. “Coming up on the ion cannon...” There was no clear weak spot but she knew attacking the edges could do enough damage. She lined up her shot and launched two proton torpedoes at the far side of the circular disk. The torpedoes landed and a number of explosions erupted around the edge of the disk. “Ion cannon disabled!” “Great, now can we please get out of here?” The fleet was converging on them but that still didn’t deter Lysithea. “We just need to give ourselves some distance and-” She stopped as she picked up something on radar. “Ships coming in...Republic transmission.” Five ships suddenly appeared near the planet, one that caught Lysithea completely off guard. It wasn’t long before there was a response. “This is Admiral Pellaeon of the First Fleet. Captain, we’re responding to a distress signal that was transmitted. I see the enemy caught you by surprise.” “Yes sir, but we managed to take out the enemy’s ion cannon. I think you can take care of the rest.” “Understood Captain, feel free to dock inside our hangar. We’ll handle this.” - - - After the ship landed inside the Praetor’s hangar, the two girls came out and Lysithea suddenly hugged the other. “That was amazing!” Lysithea squealed happily. “You know, you might not make a bad pilot in a few years.” “Oh, well, I’m not really sure what I want to do yet.” She paused for a moment. “But listen, I just wanted to say...thank you. For rescuing me back there.” “Come on, I only did what had to be done.” “I mean it. And that’s why...I owe you a life debt now.” “A... life debt?” “On my world, if someone were to come to another person’s aid, that person would swear to be by their side for the rest of their life, hence a life debt. From now on, I swear to be by your side and to protect you.” “Wait a minute, this is happening too fast!” Lysithea said, her turn to blush. “You can’t be serious.” “I am, and even if you say no, I’d still feel obligated to serve you.” “Look...let’s put it a different way. How about from now on we’ll be the best of friends and we’ll always have each other’s backs?” Raphtalia thought for a moment before smiling. “Alright. Best friends forever?” “Best friends forever.” |

ShangXiang Imperial Palace Hiei clicked about in her strappy high heels. Reading her various reports from the days events in the world. She rolled her eyes at the report from the New Years Event. While annoyed at the fact that something so barbaric could happen at an event of genuine kindness and celebration, she was also equally pleased that she had successfully protected her ruling Monarchs from this vile act. She walked purposefully down the long eloquent hallways of the Imperial Palace, and arrived at the door of Emperor Erwin Zenzefer III's Study room, where he had been doing his paperwork, as well as the general legislation, and the polls from his people regarding current issues that were important to them. Hiei knocked on the door. "Come" said a voice from behind the door. Hiei opened the door, bowing reverently before entering. Erwin was signing papers with Momo close beside him, as always. She simply refused to be away from her husband, and her love for her husband ran as deep as her love for her home country of Japan, and the bond equally inseparable. "Princess Hiei, come my sweetheart." Said Momo looking up. Hiei shut the door quietly behind her. She banged her heels together and bowed again. "Empress Kawashima, Emperor Zenzefer III, i come with news from the New united carolinas." She said, rising from her bow. "Oh Hiei, you and your formalities. You know, you don't always have to be so formal. Relax a little bit will you sweetie? Mother and Father is also fine, we didn't adopt you for you to be so formal about it." Momo said. Erwin was notably silent. Signing papers and writing personal letters to citizens wasn't an issue, more like he was quite bad at speaking to others. He hated speaking, he found the tradition of public speaking to be boring, and incredibly contradictory. He didn't like speaking in general. He enjoyed the peace and quiet, sure. However, the dulcet tones of his wife's voice were music to his ears. He did enjoy speaking to his family, even if he was rather bad at it. Hiei bowed again. She pushed her lustrous ruby red glasses up her nose. "I understand. This is quite true. Ehm, Mother, Father, news from the New United Carolinas. A murder was attempted by an agent of Kunkenga on the Chancellor of "Hiei, I am indebted to you. It is because of your advice and your wise council that I did not have to suffer the traumas of that event. You are a shining example of how effective advisors are when a leader puts their trust in the wisdom of those trained to do your work. I'm beginning to wonder if you are a fortune teller. I am aware that is impossible, but you couldn't have predicted this as accurate as you have without some sort of 6th sense." Erwin said. Hiei bowed again. "I am here to serve. For the health and welfare of my Monarchs, my parents, and my nation." She replied. "Emperor, Empress, what do you plan to do about this? Surely there are some thoughts and some ideas that you must have." She asked. "Glass them. Every square kilometer of their nation....glass" Erwin said. "Adi please." Momo said. "I know girly girl. Lets just continue the seraph fighter supply to Ventus. Ill prepare a letter or parchment of sorts for the Celestial Empress. I think it is wise to offer the confines of High Charity II to our allies." He said |
Kiyomi: "Well you are allowed to wear shoes outside the palace and inside the palace, really there had been a few times Western political leaders visited this place and wore their shoes inside the palace as well as a few of the Imperial Palaces being used for tourism. However I treat my palaces as my home, this is where I was born and where many of my ancestors or Emperors and Empresses came from." she replied as she walked towards the entrance of the Palace, the two guards who guarded the door opened it the Palace doors as they walked, "Our nation has been in isolationism after the 2nd Russo-Japanese War. My Grandmother being Imperial Empress Shizuka I thought that if Japan went into isolationism like during 1639 to 1853, she thought that she can have Japan prosper again in population and economic growth. Population did grow but unfortunately this took up more agricultural land and the economy didn't grow. She simply didn't know that in order to prosper in this timeline. A nation would have to become globalized. Japan is far from being globalized. Still we have many nations to make contact with and many draconian laws to change that has crippled the nation's safety and welfare of its people. Thanks to the Regents 'democratic' government which was funded by Zaibatsu's. However I had the backing of the Imperial Army, Navy and Air Service which had led a coup to establish a military rule, then another coup to establish me as an Absolute Monarch," she explains. Kiyomi: "People have high hopes for me, if I disappoint them I may risk being overthrown, hence why they call this Era 'The Kiyomi Restoration'. Restoring Beauty to Japan and bringing peace after centuries of turmoil. Hard to do so without the help of the Ministers and other educated people, she says, she then enters the Palace and takes her geta off, she then also takes off her socks revealing her feet that seemed to have shined like a pearl upon the suns reflection, as she brushed her hair off her shoulder, "Aha perhaps I could try one of your shoes when I'm in a more formal attire? This is more of my traditional outfit, I always wear it for diplomatic purposes, not to force my culture upon people but it is more for beauty and traditional purposes and I hope people are to appreciate that I carry on the tradition of an Empress wearing traditional clothing," she replied. She then walked on further and walked towards the living room of the Palace. When they entered it seemed to have a mixture of modern equipment and traditional furniture. A flatscreen TV hooked onto the wall and there was a Kotatsu facing it. Kiyomi: "So what exactly made your nation go into isolationism, or has it always been isolated from the world?" she asked curiously with her foxy tail wagging gently left to right. |
Kiyomi: "Well let's say you wanted to buy a $2 Caribbean Dollar soda pop in Japan. That would be ¥200 Japanese Yen. Unsure what it would be in Credits but that's rather cheap for a space ship?" Kiyomi said rather confused, "Not too many space ships cost below a million Caribbean Dollars and I am afraid it could lead to your industry having to need more money to get and make the materials for the ship. Though I'll see to it that we purchase a few of your ships," Kiyomi: "With the technology and Space Craft development I mean you have to talk to the CEO of Tenko Corporations, it is a Private Industry, I don't know if I should actually call it private now since I'm also a shareholder of the corporation. If it does something I don't like I'll reduce the value of the stocks which they don't want me doing. I can put in a good word for your scientists if needed be, however it's not really the problems with manpower but more to do with funding. My government can't funnel in 400-900 Billion Dollars in R&D to complete the Space Crafts. It would take around 2-3 years to get that sort of money in Japan with the GDP estimated to rise after this year because of the ending of Japanese Isolationism," she replied using her hands to gesture as she was talking and then brought them together on her lap. |
The Servant would leave the luggage out next to the Empress Kiyomi: "Oh, I see, Greetings Vice Chancellor Raphtalia, is congratulate you on your promotion, it must be stressful to become a political figure in a big nation like that you serve, also it is your Majesty, not your Highness, only a Hime (Princess) can be called a Highness" she says in sarcasm with her tongue sticking out childishly. Kiyomi: "Of course me being 17 I guess you can consider me as a Hime. Anyways! My sarcasm aside, hehe, my staff are doing fi-- ehhh!?" she would say in shock as she turned towards the servant who was stuck in between the door of the Imperial Palace waving his hand around needing help as his head was hidden between all of the luggage he was holding. Servant: "A-A little help, your Majesty?" the old okamimimi servant would say as he was waving his free hand at them. The Empress would then hastily walk towards him and pull him out with all her might. Eventually he was freed and a pile of suitcases tumbled over them, "My suggestion your Majesty, please don't take too much back with you," Kiyomi: "Well who knows what you need, I am going to another planet, who knows what sorts of diseases, creatures, and entities awaits in the vast darkness of space and planets," she says as she got up brushing her shirt, "Apologies for the amount of things I have brought, hehe," she says as she scratched the back of her head now thinking she had fame over prepared, after all it was her first trip to distant stars. She has never been off Terra in her teenage lifespan. |
“Ah, I see. The only reason we would charge less is because I realize you wouldn’t be able to afford them at regular...meaning I’m doing it as a gesture of good will and all. My fear is that, while it’s unlikely, someone will take advantage of your economic and military shortcomings and try to invade you. If anything, having a few ships that can fly circles around the enemy can’t hurt?” |
“That’s a lot of stuff...” Lysithea murmured. “Oh don’t worry Kiyomi,” Raphtalia said. “Nubila actually shares a lot in common with Earth. As for the diseases and creatures, those are only found in the rainforests. As far as traveling, it’s really not that bad, it feels like an average flight in half the time.” “Let’s not overwhelm her, Raph,” Lysithea said as she escorted them on board. One of the ship’s crew offered to take Kiyomi’s belongings. “This will be a short flight but for now you can stay in Raphtalia’s room. It’s not big but but you’ll both be able to fit.” “And since you’re our guest of honor, I would be happy to fill you in on Kapteynian culture,” Raphtalia said with a big grin on her face. It wouldn’t be long before the ship began to take off and leave Earth’s atmosphere. |
Kiyomi has been stuck in her Imperial Palace for sometime, after the incident. The National Public Safety Commission has decided to ramp up security around the Palace for a few months or weeks. The fact that an alien had the ability to take on other identities was a scary thought for Kiyomi. A few nights she would be thrown back to the scene where she had seen the aliens killing, stabbing and hacking innocent people. And sometimes she can see herself being a victim to the monster. Until waking up at 2 AM with her heart beating faster than the normal rate, she had calmed herself down during these nights by making trips to the shrines in the gardens of the Kyoto Palace where she would give her offerings and prayers to the Kami of the Shrine. Kiyomi hadn't had experienced any actual combat. Even though she was in the Imperial Japanese Army. She had only learned discipline, shooting weapons, and other protocols. Japan has never been at war during its isolationism. So for now she has rejected taking medicates to help her feel happy and decided to seek spiritual help or healing. Any alternative cares for herself. This evening she received word from the Minister of Foreign Affairs and she handed a letter to her which read the following contents written by Vice Chancellor Raphtalia. Raphtalia was at the party, she has remembered, she had got to be at the party after all she was the Vice Chancellor and Chancellors Lysithea's bodyguard. Kiyomi would hate to see her killed or hurt by that thing on New Years Eve. Raphtalia was interesting, interesting in the fact that she was Kemonomimi however being elsewhere in the Galaxy. Though she had also grown up alongside with a family who wasn't genetically related to her. It was sort of like Kiyomi's situation. Kiyomi being born, her mother was strapped into the bed after a car accident and she had ever since been dying in that bed. Kiyomi left the bed there but she has always kept that room locked, only entering it to have reminisce the past and her mother's face. Her ruby eyes and her soft toned face. Her facial features sharp and her silk charcoal hair that ran down like a river stream, it had all been taken away from her! She didn't want to end up like her mother, strapped, nowhere to go, unable to talk, with your dependency on machines you don't know, you don't understand, nor know how they work, but yet keep you alive, alive to suffer until they can no longer support you. People in coats coming in and out just to monitor you, sure they bow but they can't accompany you for short talks. No one spoke a word to her. Not even father who was too embarrassed to see his wife. Ashamed he couldn't protect her, sends her daughter to the Military Academy as he couldn't handle to rule a country and passes away because he had been unable to take the stress. I had a new parent and that was sensei Horikiri Reiko. She had been my caretaker and while she maybe rough she had a sweet personality and would protect me from anything as if I were her cub. However, I wished my mother didn't venture around Japan trying to fix problems when she could've send her personnel to do it, I had done what my mother did, I stepped out of the Palace and almost lost my life, just like my mother, just like my mother, just li-- Servant: "Your Majesty, Kiyomi! Satsuki Kitsune!" she would hear as she spoke to herself in her head she regained herself back and she dropped a katana that she got from somewhere. She stepped back in fear of herself, has she gone mad!? The lights would go dim and slowly her world became black as she fell to the ground. Regaining herself she woke up on her bed with doctors around her, a breathing mask was put around her while she was unconscious to help supply her oxygen directly. Doctor: "Ah your Majesty, you are awake finally," the doctor says as he writes a few notes down on a piece of paper on his clipboard. Kiyomi: "How long was I out?" she asked still rather dazed out after waking up from her slumber. Doctor: "For quite sometime, about a good 14 hours? It's 3 in the morning and the other doctor left at 12AM so I came to fill in for her." Kiyomi: "Why is this happening to me, I feel rather ill after the event." Doctor: "My best conclusion is that you're suffering from Post traumatic stress disorder," Kiyomi: "Pfft, I am not, I am clearly fine Doctor," Doctor: "Oh really?" the Doctor says as he looks over his spectacles and stars down at Kiyomi with skepticism, "Your Majesty, when is the last time you had a nightmare on the event," Kiyomi: "Yesterday I believe," Doctor: "Right and have you ever tried to hurt or take your own life away," Kiyomi: "Never on Earth," Doctor: "Oh really? One of your servants said she saw you holding your ancestors katana and you were about to take your own life with it until she called out your name," he said, Kiyomi fell silent, her fox ears tilted downwards and she was rather in disbelief of her actions, "Look Your Majesty, you have got to take your medications, it will at least reduce your anxiety and depression. I also recommend you see a therapist to help you reduce the stress of the awful event and hopefully improve your sleep. Though I urge you your Majesty that you must take the medication, there are really no ways out of this and people are looking up to you, Japan is looking up to you, we will take care of you, and you will take care of us," he replied. Doctor: "Now please get some rest, the phone is nearby if you need it to call someone," the doctor said as he left the bedroom. Kiyomi would wait a few seconds and ring the Minister of Foreign Affairs and tells her to draft a letter to Raphtalia, the Minister would get a letter and a pen and bring it to the bedroom of the Empress, the Empress would then tell her what to write as she told her. Dear Raphtalia, It is great to hear from you! Especially after the New Years Party which didn't go as I thought it would. I'm rather sorry to hear that the alien thing hurt you and I hope that wound gets treated. ThoughI understand why you had to leave in such a hurry as so did I. I had hoped people from Earth or elsewhere would at least show a bit of kindness to sentient beings but it turns out some are rather cruel, wicked, and want to watch the world burn and bleed upon their daggers. You shouldn't feel guilty for something that can't be changed because of your reaction. Whatever is done is done. We must face the future and honor those who have protected us when they have sacrificed themselves to buy us time to prepare and attack. Their brave acts shall not be forgotten I hope. I have been doing fine physically. The event had rather shocked me in a way I feel that I don't know who people are anymore. The sight of innocents dying has really changed how I view the worlds morality. I understand that you or the Chancellor shall not be making anymore visits to Terra until your business with your rivals are finished. I will make sure to contact you in the case we would wish to have you or me over for some tea. It is a pleasure writing to you my best friend. I wish you best as Vice Chancellor on your war efforts. Warmest Regards, |
"I understand, which is interesting, since I'm not of Western birth Celestial Empress. I remember living under your mother Celestial Empress Ayumi I. I'm excited and pleased at what you are doing and have done for our homeland. In fact, we too are a Monarchy, that is mostly absolute, but we have a certain way of running our nation that seems to please the people rather well. If I may Celestial Empress, as a girl who lived under the same laws that you claim to be so draconian, i had never been a happier, more prosperous girl ever. Marrying my Adi is the only thing that possibly could best it. I have the deepest respect for you, the Katsune Imperial Family, and the nation of Japan." Momo politely bowed and then walked close to Kiyomi. Making sure to remain a respectful distance away however, so as not to insult her Imperial Majesty. "As for your agriculture, we have found that our nation produces vast amounts of grains and produce. So much so, that we have been sending the excess to High Charity II to be sold, which is somewhat contradictory since the city is self sufficient. Perhaps you might be interested in some of it for your own people. We would be honoured to assist you in any way we can. A gift from our people to yours." "I too have high hopes for you. I am sure that like your mother, you will be more than capable of carrying out your duty as the leader of our nation. Personally I couldn't be more pleased with how you are taking this. That being, how prepared you seem to be and how seamless your transition has been." Momo bowed before entering the palace, sliding her flats off, revealing her feet, which were as close to perfect as was biologically possible. Her bright pink toenail polish lustered and shone beautifully. "Oh im not worried in the slightest. youre free to try them whenever you want. I actually brought along my yukata as a change of clothing. You are hardly pushing your own culture in your own nation." Momo replied smiling. "We went into isolation the moment we founded. The first Emperor, Wilhelm I, didn't like outsiders. We then had a 7 year civil war in 2081. We call this "The Great Struggle." and it put Erwin's family into power. Erwin I was an influential General Prefect and was quite popular with the people. In fact, he moved the capitol to what is now ShangXiang. After that, isolationism remained, because Erwin didn't want a distraction of other nation's affairs while we rebuilt the nation. Erwin II, my dear Adi's father, was a bit mad in the head, and didn't care much for outsiders either. So yes, it took my husband to bring this nation out of isolationism and try to make some friends." Momo finished, smiling at her Empress. |

"Command... Command come in..." "Command Station Alpha-11 Reporting, whats the status on UAB-003?" "Still no sign of it... currently activating a marking beacon to show location." "Very well, report back to me when you spotted it. Remember, don't let it see you." "Understood Sir." The night sky was truly something beautiful in the mountains of Northern Pretannia, the closest you could really get to the stars themselves without the light from the cities polluting the skies. Commander James Eaton, leader of Mobile Task Force Alpha-11, though was barely even paying attention to it. For him that didn't matter as the wind made the tree branches move around him. He had his hand on his gun as he walked, behind him standing two more armed and armored members of MT-A11. "Keep an eye out boys. This thing could be kilometers away and still know we're here." "Understood Eaton, we'll be sure to keep an eye out." Eaton walked for a little while longer, making sure his footsteps were quiet and light as to not attract any attention, even so though the slight crunch of his foot hitting the ground in the silence of the forests around him still managed to annoy him. All the sudden he heard something rustling in the bushes. He quickly got his gun out and cocked it, the other two with him training their weapons straight at the bush in question. "What the hell.." Eaton said with a rushed whisper like tone. The seconds passed by as if they we're years before the rustling stopped, all the sudden they we're confronted by a small rabbit hoping along. Eaton put his weapon down and sighed. "Thank god... I'm gonna rally up the men. It's clearly not here tonight." The other two nodded as he grabbed his communicator and sent a signal to his men. He knew there we're five teams he had spread out to search the area, though something concerned him. He only got four return signals back. "Wait... didn't we have five signals.." "Yes, yes we did...well sh!t." Eaton thought for just a second, wondering what could've happened, all the sudden though the communicator went off, ruining the silence around them. "GOD DAMMIT IT'S HERE! IT'S FVCKING HE-CZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Eaton shut off the communicator quickly before looking at the two soldiers with him. Private Amy Wallace and Private John Oliver. "Wallace I need you to get their signal locked down now." "Yes sir." "Oliver, just stay close. That thing is in the area now.. and we just lost three men trying to capture it." Before he could say anything else Amy's radar beeped, tracking the communicators signal to only about 10 km away from them. Eaton motioned them northwards in the direction of the creature, as they got closer the air only getting more uneasy. Eaton could tell it was there still, the smell of death permeating the entire area, almost making him gag. It took them about an hour to reach the area where the men were but by then it was far too late, what was left was skeletons strewn out across the grounds before them, blood everywhere. "Oh my god..." Amy said while John and James began moving slowly inwards. "Dear god what happened here..." Eaton said to himself as he found a skeleton covered in blood by a nearby tree, seeing traces of his uniform around him. "This thing is rather savage..." John said to which James merely nodded. All the sudden they heard more rustling. In their peripheral vision they could see something heading towards them. All three got their guns and turned, ready to fire. Though it was only another part of their Team. "Dear god Gregory... you scared me..." Gregory laughed for a second before patting James on the back. "Oh c'mon sir you shoulda known it was me now." "Yeah well three of our members we're just killed so I had to be careful..." Gregory looked at the bodies, behind him stood Vincent and Rachel. "Wait... where are the other teams at..." Rachel asked to which both Amy and John shrugged their shoulders. Eaton stood up and looked at her. "We don't know... we thought you all had grouped up to head back to us." "No.. we thought the other two we're with you guys." James facepalmed. "Sh!t..." All the sudden they could hear a Banshee like screech, it seemed close, very close. "Get your weapons ready people!" he said as he heard screams in the distance. The group started running towards it, only stopping when they finally saw it. The being itself, ripping one of his men in half. The group hid behind bushes and trees, making sure the creature didn't notice them. "no... no no no nonononono NO-AGH" said one of the fallen men as the snap of his spinal cord could be heard. James winced as he looked at the others, all with their guns ready. James quickly radioed into command. "Command.. Command are you there!" All the sudden the creature perked up in their direction, the others began to sweat. "Command Reporting, MT-A11? W-" James quickly interrupted the man speaking to relay the needed info. "We have a confirmed lossage of six men sir, currently two confirmed surviving squads within MT-A11 and one missing. We found the creature but it-czzzzzzzzz" The sound of gunfire and screaming could be heard as command tried to get back to him. "James? James..... JAMES?! ANSWER ME DAMMIT! Oh no.... get Atlas Base on the phone now!" "SH!T" James said as the creature began running towards them, James dropped the communicator, oblivious to the command officer demanding a response. "FIRE DAMMIT!" he said as he began taking shots at the creatures head, though for all the ones that hit they simply just melted into its skin. "What the fu-" he couldn't finish his statement as the creature looked over to him, James quickly covering his eyes as the creature let out another banshee screech. James quickly ran, taking cover behind a rock and only peering over to take more shots. John and Vincent quickly found cover with him while Rachel began circling around the creature and taking more shots, keeping its attention for the time being. James looked around in the distance to see a rather large structure in the distance. It looked like an abandoned barn. He motioned to Vincent and John to follow, whistling to get Amy, Gregory, and Rachel's attention. Gregory and Amy quickly made their way over while Rachel, still distracting the creature seemed stuck. James groaned as he motioned the team to head towards the barn as he moved to help Rachel. All the sudden though the Creature side swiped rachel, forcing her to the ground. The creature looked at her, causing her body to stiffen. She was unable to move. "NO!" James said as he ran towards her, covering his eyes from the being and taking shots at it. The being started to screech a little bit as he moved away from Rachel and started running after him. "GO GO GO!" he said, prompting Rachel to run towards the barn. The others watched as James ran around, shooting continuous shots at the beast in question. Though he had a problem, he was running out of ammo. "dammit..." he said as the creature once more made a loud screeching sound. The Creature began charging after him, James making a b-line for the barn. Once inside Amy and John quickly slammed the doors shut, the group being able to climb up to a high place to avoid the creatures paralyzing guise. Though James had noticed something interesting. It only seemed to paralyze you if it was looking directly at you, once it stopped you could move again. Even so that info really wouldn't help them in this situation. All the sudden though the creature busted through the barn doors, utterly demolishing them as it barged in. "god dammit.." James said while the others readied their weapons. James looked around at the equipment they had in stock. Some explosives, more ammo, trackers, comms units, and more. His mind wen't back to the explosives. "Wait.... how many explosives do we have..." he said, Vincent catching on quickly and beginning to count. "Why ask?" Rachel said to which he only looked at her. "Well... since bullets only seem to be a distraction for this thing... why don't we try some fire?" Rachel couldn't help but smirk before Vincent came back with the count. "we have six sir." "six? damn... the creature would probably catch me having to set up six..." John and Gregory looked over. "we could distract it while you and Vincent set those up." "I can't have you all do that." "Why not? Its our job." "Yes but most likely you'd..." Gregory spoke up. "Die? Yeah we know, its in the job description." James smirked. "alright.. but if you see any openings that could lead to your survival take them." He looked over to Amy and Rachel. "You two... distract the thing from above. I don't want to see you two on the ground." The two nodded. James stood up and smirked again, readying his gun and holding the three small but powerful explosives. "Alright team... lets do this.." "URAAA" The creature looked up, only to be barraged by bullet fire, it let out more screeching. Meanwhile James and Vincent went around, setting up the different explosives one by one. "KEEP FIRING!" James yelled at the four, Gregory looking back at him and nodding. However as he did so he got snatched by the creature. "GREGORY!" James said while John ran for cover. "GOD DAMN CREATURE!" Gregory said as he felt its grip on him tighten. The thing forced him to stare into its eyes, paralyzing him. "I-I can't move! DAMMIT I CAN'T MOVE! FU-" the creature acted fast, pulling off his head with its razor sharp teeth before dropping the rest of the body to the floor. Vincent and John merely looked at it in horror while James set up the next explosive. "WE HAVE NO TIME TO MOURN! MOVE MOVE MOVE!" The creature began screeching louder and louder, though finally as if it had taken days the explosives we're all connected. "THEY"RE SET! RUN FOR IT!" Vincent said as the group began running past the creature. James looked at his tablet. "Explosive charge set off in 10... 9... 8... 7..." "Go go go go go GO!" he said as he looked back and fired several shots into the creatures chest, causing it to stop for a moment.The creature though only kept speeding up. As the others ran past him he could only run faster in pure adrenaline powered fear. All the sudden the creature grabbed onto him. "COMMANDER!" John yelled out but he motioned them to keep running, the group fired shots at the thing as it picked him up. "3...2...1" All the sudden a bright white flash could be seen, one final screech from the creature as everything was blown to bits. James sat up for a second after the explosion. Before him lied what seemed like a dead creature in the rubble. He sighed in relief as the others ran back towards him, all the sudden though through the thing punched through, standing up and staring at him. James gulped. "We're screwed aren't we..." he said to which John only nodded. Then however several helicopter lights began shining on it. James began to smirk as he looked up and saw several black helicopters in the sky. Thankfully they had invested in the AI technology. Several armored men came down from the helicopters and aimed their guns at the creature. "Mobile Task Force A-11 stand down, AGS personnel have this under control." James merely nodded as several heavy round shots we're fired into its chest, seemingly immobilizing it." "But-" "We found that the head was an ineffective area to hit it at, the chest is where the weakspot is." James nodded. Just another night for them in their minds. They lost a lot of people and one of their squads was still missing, probably dead or something though. "Alright men lets get this thing to Atlas Base asap. We have work to do."
