Chapter 1
In the skies above Exile, Claus and Lavie flew their vanship above the golden fields. "Hey Claus," said Lavie. "Yeah?" said Claus. "Shouldn't we get back already?" said Lavie. "Alright then. I think we've flown enough for today anyways," said Claus as he turned the vanship back to their home. "Where's Claus and Lavie?" said Alvis back at their house. "Don't worry. They should be back soon. I think flying for 5 hours is enough for them," said Godwin.
Meanwhile, a courier vanship was about to leave for Exile from a port. "You think we got enough fuel sis?" said Saix. "How far are we from Exile?" asked Amis. "Urm...a few miles," said Saix as he looked at his map. "We wouldn't need a lot of fuel then," said Amis as she started up the vanship. "You sure?" said Saix. "We've been doing this for three years already Saix and we've always gotten to our destination, haven't we?" said Amis. "Yeah," said Saix. "Then stop worrying so much," said Amis. "Do you really think it was a good idea to leave him behind?" said Saix. "Well, he was still acting a bit weird when we left him. I don't think that he's ready to fly a vanship again," said Amis as they took off.
Back at Exile, Claus and Lavie had returned home. "Hey Alvis. What have you been doing?" said Claus. "I was waiting for you to come back," said Alvis. "We weren't gone for that long, were we?" said Lavie. "How about 5 hours," said Godwin as he walked to them. "Hey Godwin," said Claus. "This is the longest you two have been out. Alvis was drawing the whole time you guys were gone," said Godwin. "Really?" said Lavie. "You want to see them?" said Alvis. "Sure," said Lavie as she followed Alvis upstairs. "Anything happen while we were gone?" said Claus. "You know that nothing happens here. It's the same as always," said Godwin. "Well, since the war is over, there wouldn't be much happening. But that's a good thing since we can enjoy the skies," said Claus.
"How far are we from Exile now Saix?" said Amis. "We're less than half a mile away," said Saix. "We should get there in a few minutes then," said Amis. Suddenly two vanships appeared out of nowhere and were facing them. "Must be couriers returning back," said Saix. But then as they got closer to them, they started firing at them. "What the-?" said Amis as she dodged the bullets. "Never mind! I guess they're not couriers!" shouted Saix. "Convert the vanship to fighter mode!" shouted Amis as she continued to dodge. Saix pulled a lever on his right side and two guns appeared out of the front of the vanship. Amis's lever then transformed and had a trigger on it. Amis looked into the crosshair and aimed at one of them. She then shot it down and it started to fall next to their vanship. But the both of them were shocked at what they saw.
"What!" said Amis as they looked at the falling vanship. "There's no pilot and navigator!" said Saix as the vanship continued to descend. "What's going on here?" said Amis. "Sis! Look out!" shouted Saix. "Huh?" said Amis as she turned and saw that the other vanship was a few inches ahead of them. She quickly moved their vanship, but it was too close and shattered the windshield in front of her as it flew up. The pieces of glass pierced into her chest and blood slowly came out of her mouth. "Saix, are you okay?" shouted Amis. "I'm fine. I only have a scratch," said Saix. Amis looked around for the other vanship, but saw that it was nowhere in sight. "Where'd it go?" said Amis. The vanship then appeared behind them as it came out of the clouds.
It continued with its attack as it neared them and Amis's vision got blurry for a second. "Hang on Saix!" said Amis as she flipped their vanship upside down and managed to get behind the other vanship. She quickly aimed for it and shot it down then flipped their vanship up. "We're almost there!" said Saix. Amis checked the fuel gauge and saw that they were running out of fuel. "Darn it. Maybe I should've gotten more fuel," said Amis. "What's wrong sis?" said Saix. "Increase the output!" said Amis. Saix pulled another lever back and their vanship's speed increased. "I hope this works," said Amis as she sighted Exile ahead.
Claus and Lavie were eating when Alvis looked out the window. "What is it Alvis?" said Claus. "Someone's coming," said Alvis. "Huh?" said Lavie as the both of them got out of their seats and looked out the window as well. "I don't see anyone," said Claus. Then a few seconds later, a blue vanship appeared and seemed like it was falling. "They might be in trouble," said Claus as he headed for their vanship. "I'm coming with you too," said Lavie as she followed him. "Hey, where are you kids going?" said Godwin as he walked into the room. Claus and Lavie quickly got into their vanship and headed towards the blue vanship.
Amis's vision got blurry again as they continued to drop. "Agh," said Amis as she loosened her grip on the lever. "Sis! Pull up!" said Saix. "Huh?" said Amis as her vision cleared again. She tightened her grip on the lever and pulled up a few feet above the golden fields. Their vanship landed but slid on the fields for a while before stopping. Saix converted the vanship back to normal and quickly removed his belt. He then got out of his seat and climbed up on the wing to check his sister. As he looked over, he saw her clothes soaked in blood and the pieces of glass in her chest. "Sis! Hold on!" said Saix. Amis was half-conscious and just looked at him. Saix carefully removed her belt and looked around. "Isn't there anyone around here?" said Saix.
Claus and Lavie were still flying over the fields looking for the blue vanship. "It looks like the landed somewhere around here," said Lavie. "There it is," said Claus as he saw it ahead of them. "Someone's coming sis," said Saix as he saw Claus and Lavie's vanship coming towards them. Claus landed near them and knew there was something wrong when he saw the shattered windshield. "Are you guys alright?" said Claus as he and Lavie got out of their vanship. "I'm okay, but my sis is almost unconscious," said Saix as he turned and looked at his sister. Claus went over to the blue vanship and carefully picked up Amis out of her seat.
"Where are you going to take her?" said Saix. "Don't worry. We have a home nearby and we'll fly her there so she can get some help," said Claus as he put Amis in the backseat of their vanship. Saix then jumped into the front seat of their blue vanship. "I can't leave our vanship here. I'll just follow you then," said Saix. "I guess you'll have to go with him Lavie," said Claus as he jumped into his seat. "Alright then," said Lavie as she got into the backseat of the blue vanship. "Let's go," said Claus as he started the vanship and headed home with Saix following behind.
