Chapter 9: The veteran

Earth orbit

Finally she could see her closely ... Despite the millennia that had passed, the Earth had remained as it was the last time he had visited it. However, the instruments on board revealed radio waves coming from it, a sign that humanity had evolved from its time.

"My lady?" A voice called her.

She turned and saw a cyborg.

"What is it?" Gerel asked.

"Our ships will soon start heading for the main terrestrial cities."

"Perfect. Nothing else?"

"Yes. Our radars have detected a flying object in the upper atmosphere. "

"It must be Damocles ... I'll have to neutralize it as soon as possible."

"Do you intend to do it now?"

"No ... I would alarm the Terrans. I want to wait until all the ships have reached their destination. "

"As you wish."

Patience is the virtue of the strong ... said that proverb.

The blonde thought.


Fort Henry, near Pendragon, at 4.45 pm

Fort Henry was the largest imperial military base in the world. It housed about 60,000 people, including the knights of Saint Francis, one of the most powerful orders of chivalry, second only to the knights of St. Michael. The base occupied about 146 square kilometers and housed both military and civilian personnel. Yaeko was near a landing strip, where dozens of fighters were piled up, arranged side by side.

Damn it, this place is immense ... Where will the knights of St. Francis be?

She wondered, nervous.

As he looked around, he saw, near a Frame, a girl with an anomalous appearance: blond hair tied in two mottled tails one of blue the other of fuchsia, gray eyes, make-up face, lipstick on the lips, wearing a white T-shirt of tight shorts; wielded a baseball bat. Next to her stood a man with short orange hair and red eyes.

Maybe they will give me some information ...

She approached them and said:

"Are you pilots?"

"Knights of Britain, order of St. Francis." The girl replied.

"I have a message for your commander. Tell me where it is, before i lose patience! "

"Who are you?"

"Yaeko Minegasaki, secretary of Empress Cornelia."

"Then refer me the message, before I lose my patience!" The boy ordered.

"Well said, my commander!" The girl exclaimed.

"You have to leave for Europe as soon as possible."

"Did another rebellion break out?"

"No, you must guard Weiswolf's fortress from eventual enemy attacks."

"What enemies?"

"The empress will explain it to you in due course."

"Tell them we're leaving ... By the way, I'm Ashley Ashra. She is Harley Quinn. "

"Agree."


5:00 pm

Edward and CC were watching TV, when his cell phone started ringing.

"Edward."

"We have to leave the city as soon as possible!"

"Kyoko ... What's up?"

"I've just been contacted by Yuriko. It seems that some alien spaceships have reached the earth's orbit. "

"Are you sure?"

"She knew it from Yaeko, who knew it from Cornelia, who knew it from Esdeath who knew it from Nina who knew it from one of its scientists."

"Agree. But where will we go? "

"Weiswolf."

"Weiswolf?"

"Yes, the empress will go there on board the Great Britain. And we will go with her. "

"I see…"

"Try to reach the international airport as soon as possible, the Great Britain is waiting for us there."

"Agree."

The communication closed.

"Who was he?" Asked him CC.

"Kyoko."

"And what did she want?"

"From what I understand alien spaceships have come into Earth orbit."

"They're not just spaceships, it's Gerel looking for revenge." Ajatar stated as soon as he arrived in the living room.

"Maybe it's really like that ... That's why Cornelia wants to leave the imperial palace and go to Weiswolf's fortress in Europe."

"And we will go with her, right?"

"Exactly, CC. It is more prudent. "

"Okay, I'm starting to pack up ... Ajatar, are you coming with us?"

"Yes."

"Then give me a hand to pack the bags, we'll do it faster."

"In three even more." The boy intervened.

"Thoughtful as always ..."

With this CC he kissed him on a cheek making him blush.

He cleared his throat, then replied:

"This and more for a friend."

"Come on, stop it! Time is running out and Gerel can launch her move at any time!" Ajatar urged, agitated.
