Chapter 1
Lieutenant Zechs and his wing-mates were cruising in a scout mission, keeping an eye out for problems in their sector. "Do you see that?"
"See what, corporal?"
"That shooting star." Zechs looked in the direction indicated. Indeed, something was falling, and fast. It looked like a one man re-entry capsule, the type used for emergency evacuations in space.
"We'll intercept and see who's on board." The three soldiers changed course to intercept. As they approached the landing site, they saw an individual exit the craft, carefully. "Be careful, he could be part of Operation M."
"Understood, sir!" With that, the two corporals advanced, rifles drawn. The boy climbing out of the capsule, looked at them and laughed. "Hands up! You have landed in a restricted area."
"I think I'll take your guns, instead." With that, the boy moved with blinding speed, grabbing the throats of the corporals and tearing them out. He licked their blood off his hands. "You've seen too much. You will die."
Zechs bared his fangs. "I'm not as weak as these two." He dodged to the side, firing on the aggressive boy as he did so. The bullets struck home, but the flesh wounds started healing almost as soon as they were ripped open. When the boy fired back with a confiscated gun, Zechs was forced to retreat. He couldn't face that kind of regeneration.
Zechs called his base unit as he took to the air. "Life Clan spotted on earth. We need to be on the alert." As he retreated, he saw the boy finish draining the corpses of his former wing-mates.
Colonel Treize took the news of the loss of two, inexperienced members of the Earth Clan with grace. It was more annoying to deal with the humans of the Earth Sphere Alliance, who didn't realize the true nature of the EC elite troops. Despite the humans' weakness, the sheer volume of them left on Earth meant revealing EC's plans too early would be imprudent.
He accepted the abuse of General Septum with good grace. The general was mortal, after all, and Treize had been maneuvering for decades. Romefeller was moving.
While the general proceeded to discuss his plans to destabilize the colonies, Treize discretely monitored the news of attacks on EC installations. Garlic grenades and flamethrowers wielded by a member of the Iron Clan. Reflected bullets from a member of the Warp Clan, an army of ghouls lead by a member of the Slaver Clan, and an inferno of obliteration under a member of the Dragon Clan. All things considered, it was fortunate that Zechs had not been annihilated.
Relena Dorlan was disturbed. She had successfully mesmerized every member of her class into adoring her. She wasn't clear on how she'd done it, but it made her happy to be adored.
The new boy, however, was being difficult. She had welcomed him as politely, and charmingly, as possible, and found that the harmonics in her voice had no impact on him. He didn't event glance at her.
Then, she had invited him to her birthday. He had not only resisted the command to come, but had actually torn up the invitation. Now, staring at him, she could only will him to submit to her wonderfulness.
"I'm going to kill you, dhampire" Her eyes widened in shock.
