This is one of the very first fanfics I am writing mostly on my own to post here WITHOUT Peggi's help. If you want to check out her profile, her name on here is Peggi J. Crawford. This fanfic is totally 100 percent dedicated to her, the best friend in my life, and the only girl I'd spend my free time writing ficiton for.
Sorry there is no good title at the moment, but here is that longer summary I promised. Everyone from the anime world is kidnapped and brough to our world, finding out that they are going to be used as slaves and for simple jobs. Shun is seperated from his brother and must survive being traded, bought, and used.
Disclaimer? I don't own Saint Seiya or Invader Zim. I will disclaim things in further chapters as needed. The redhead in this chapter is Misty from Pokemon, so I don't own that either.
Chapter One: Raiders
By: Resa Kaiba
Warnings: None
It had been a completely normal day, as normal days go for the bronze saints of Athena. Relaxing in the Kido mansion, the bronze saints were grateful for a break in their battles and wanted nothing more than to rest, but those plans were about to be destroyed.
There had been a flash of light, the sound of something similar to thunder but about a billion times louder. The sound of fire could be heard, and the saints were prepared to run from the mansion to see what was going on, but before they had the chance, a loud explosion was heard and some THINGS entered the mansion. The beings were not human, nor were they animal. They looked as though they were beings from some alien movie, terrifying and large. The saints froze in their places, not knowing what to do next. One of the creatures grabbed Ikki and began to run off with him.
"BROTHER!" Shun screamed, prepared to chase after him, until one of the creatures grabbed him as well.
Ikki and Shun reached for each others' hands as they were being carried away to a line of white trucks. The trucks were solid in color, square holes in the back barred up, almost like some sort of portable prison.
Shun, Ikki, and Shiryu were all thrown into one of the trucks along with many other people, chained to the sides of the truck.
"W-what's going on?!" Shun asked his older brother, terrified of what was happening.
"I don't know. I. . .I really don't know."
"I know," a quiet voice spoke up.
Shun and Ikki looked to the end of the truck to see a small boy with black hair and glasses, also chained to the truck, his face red as though he had been beaten and tears drying on his cheeks.
"Those things that brought us here are called "Raiders". They are demons from Earth. Most people here don't realize that we are not actually ON earth, we are on Earth2. Thousands of years ago, billions, in fact, there was a planet that held life. On this planet, there were hundreds of types of people living there. One day a meteor hit the planet and it was broken. Surprisingly, there were survivors, but the survivors ended up on seperate pieces of this one gigantic planet. There was Earth1 and Earth2. For these billions of years, the people of Earth2 have not known the truth about our planet's origins, but those of the other Earth, they do. They look very much like we do, just. . .different. They look like we would if we were TV characters or something. They have these things called "Raiders" that seek out life and destroy everything in it's path, and it is their government that does this. People from the other Earths are captured by Raiders and sold as slaves in auctions, used for birthing their children, or other terrible tasks."
"How do you know all of this?" Shun asked the boy.
"I study alien life. I always told my classmates I wasn't crazy. This one time, there was an alien in my CLASS and no one could see him! 'Zim is an alien', I would say. And they said I was lying. Well, look now. We're all going to die. All because no one listened to me. My name is Dib, by the way."
"I believe in aliens!" a redheaded girl spoke up, "but I never thought they would try to kidnap all of us. How are they going to transport us?" the girl had been crying when the three had arrived in the truck, but was now at full attention.
"Transporters, I guess. They'll get us there and find what we are most useful for and auction us off. Where we are going, the people find money the most valuable thing of all. They will buy any and everything they can. I knew the Raiders were coming in advance, so I'm okay. I took two bottles of NyQuil and by the time we get there, I'll be safe. I hope the rest of you will be alright there. It won't be easy, but I'm sure you'll survive."
Shun began crying and Shiryu and Ikki felt powerless to help him. Ikki wanted to hold his brother and tell him that everything would be alright, but he honestly did not feel that everything would be alright. Things seemed as though they were going to be terrible, in fact.
The vehicle never moved from it's position before everyone felt lightheaded and suddenly, Shun, Shiryu, and Ikki slipped into a deep sleep.
