Gartlant. A warlike military state, with large armies of powerful Marionettes and swarms of war machines. Its enemies were crushed underfoot like bugs. Until one day...
Everyone who had a television set on Terra 2 was tuned in on one channel, the international news channel. The newsreader were as surprised as everyone else by the late breaking news. The Japonessian newsreader was sitting behind his desk, cameras trained on him.
"Hello and welcome to the International news." he started. "Today we have received word that Fuhrer Faust, of Gartlant... has passed away."
The entire TV watching population was hushed. News like this would spread like a fire in a cornfield. The newsreader continued.
"Fuhrer Faust was found dead by a guard patrol on their rounds in the Gartlant Marionette factory. They found him and one DR Hess, dead in an underground room. We are not authorised to reveal the nature of his death at this time. This is Hocoto Shunken, signing off."
Almost all of the world's population were in a shocked state of silence. Not even the Gartlanters would wish death upon him... actually they would, but it's my story!

The Imperial palace of Gartlant held a minute of silence in memory of Fuhrer Faust the ninth. No one really liked the old Fuhrer... but it was the proper thing to do. Young Faust was not yet old enough to become Fuhrer, so a general, Gettel, was obliged to rule until the young Fuhrer was of legal age. Gettel was one of the old Fuhrers most efficient generals. He was quite old, tall, thin, had one of those French style moustaches and hat two large curls at the bottom of his blonde hair. He was a scheming man, but would stay loyal to Gartlant until the end of his days. Faust was now free to live a normal life, aside from being heir to the throne of Gartlant that is... He would inherit the throne when he reached the age of sixteen, two years from now.

Gettel, the acting fuehrer, had made it apparent from the beginning that mighty Gartlant was going to be rebuilt. This was something that young Faust had wanted to see done for a long time. Gettel had initiated the construction immediately. Utilising all of Gartlant's military Marionettes, the project would take three years.
All of Gartlant was free from tyranny. The lousy ration trucks were replaced with restaurants, the many war factories were ordered to be replaced, with office buildings and shops. All of which would create new and needed jobs. Many houses and flats would be erected. Also, the city was ordered to be re-painted.

It had been two years since Gatlant had been fully rebuilt and Faust was now twenty-one years of age. He was the spitting image of the old Fuhrer, but was kind and gentle, unlike the old Fuhrer. He spent most of his time with Tiger, learning all about leadership. She had become more like a friend to him than just a Marionette, and they frequently took trips into the city. Gettel had stepped down in favour of Faust, and was now his most trusted advisor. The Saberdolls were also his advisors, and they were frequently seen with Lord Faust, strolling through the large flower garden near the palace.
"Lord Faust." Luchs said as the three Saberdolls and their master walked past the large pond. "What are we going to do about the military? They've been mainly inactive since the rebuilding."
Faust looked thoughtful and stopped in his tracks.
"Luchs, draw up some extended training drills and implement them immediately. Panther, I need you to hone the skills of the Special Forces. You are the greatest fighter in all of this country... I'm counting on you both. Tiger, I have something I need to discuss with you. Please remain. "
Luchs and Panther saluted.
"Sir!" they said in unison, and they disappeared in a cloud of cherry blossom.
"What is it you wanted to discuss master?" asked Tiger inquisitively. Faust sat on a nearby bench and motioned for her to sit next to him. She sat down. Faust put his hand on hers. She blushed, but then regained her composure. He gently squeezed her hand.
"Tiger... I, I think... I" he stuttered. She looked at n=him and smiled slightly.
"What is it my lord?"
Faust sighed. He thought to himself quickly. "What do I say? What do I do?"
He came to a conclusion. Just tell her.
"What I mean, is... I've harboured a secret for many years now." he moved his hands and placed them on her shoulders.
"Master..." Tiger whispered as he moved closer to her. She blushed bright red as he placed his lips on hers. She was shocked by what he had done, and wondered how to respond. Her maiden circuit answered that question for her. She positioned her arms around his neck and she kissed him back. Time seemed to stand still as they kissed passionately. Faust stopped the kiss, and let go of her shoulders. Tiger had her arms around his neck. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling serenely.
"Master... I..." she sighed lovingly as she opened her eyes. She gazed into Faust's own eyes and realised that he really did love her, even though she wasn't a human girl. "I love you my Lord."
Faust put his arms around her waist and gently pulled her close to him. She laid her head on his shoulder.
"I love you Tiger," he whispered into her ear as they cosyed up together. "I have for a long time now."
They sat on the bench for a while, completely wrapped up in each other. It was going to be very awkward. Marionettes were not considered to be alive... even ones with Maiden circuits.
"This is going to be a difficult time." Faust said as he ran his fingers through her hair as she had done five years ago. It felt right.
The sun began to set behind the western hills. The sky was filled with a light orange light. The cool breeze blew the autumn leaves all around the garden. The song of the birds started to die down as the sun set completely. Tiger had fallen asleep, with her head resting on Faust's shoulder.
(It's late. I'd better get back to the palace.) Faust gently moved Tigers head off of his shoulder and got up slowly. (She looks so peaceful...) He didn't want to wake her, so he put on of his arms behind her knees and one around her shoulders. He picked her up slowly, so as not to wake her. He walked slowly back to the palace holding her in his arms.
He reached the palace. Tiger still sleeping in his arms. He entered through the servant's entrance. He never liked going in through the large entrance, and preferred to be treated like any other average person. He carried her upstairs and to the room, which she and the other Saberdolls shared. He kicked the door gently a few times, until Luchs opened it.
"Fuhrer?" she was a little surprised. "What's wrong with her?" she asked. Faust walked into the room, and laid Tiger down on her bed.
"Nothings wrong with her... she's just sleeping." he smiled as he remembered their kiss and her falling asleep on his shoulder.
"Master? What's going on?" Luchs pried. Faust looked at the blue haired Marionette. She had a right to know. So did Panther for that matter. "Are you sure there's nothing going on?"
"I'll tell you and Panther tomorrow. I'm going to bed." with that, he left Luchs to wonder what the hell was going on. Faust wandered back to his chambers, and went to bed.

Luchs sat at her desk, deep in thought.
(What was that all about? Something's going on here...) she moved over to Tigers bed. She was curled up, smiling like an angel. She looked so happy.
(Maybe it has something to do with the master...) She was about to wake up her sleeping friend, but then thought it best if she let her be. She walked over to her own bed, and got in. She lay awake, thinking as Panther opened the door and flopped onto her bed.
"Bunch of wusses!" she growled. "Those so called SPECIAL FORCES aren't fit to dress themselves." she snorted and opened a drawer in her bedside cabinet. She brought out a box of tissues and proceeded to clean the still drying blood off her hands. She then brought out a book and started to read.
"I didn't know you could read." Luchs mocked. Panther scowled at her... then threw the book at her. Luchs looked at the cover: "Anger Management For Dummies." Luchs sweat dropped and sighed. She threw the book back to her roommate, and settled down between the folds of her duvet and drifted off into sleep. Panther read her book for a while, before turning off her bedside lamp and also drifting off into sleep.

Dawn broke all over one half of Terra two. The bright autumn sun burned brightly in the sky. The birds sweetly chirping their song throughout the globe. Gartlant was no exception. The country was now fully through its renewal and everyone was happy with their new lives.
Except Faust. He was happy that he had finally, after many years, admitted to Tiger how he felt about her. But he was unhappy. He despised ruling the country and he would give it all up to live a quiet life with the Marionette that he loved. He lay in his bed, thinking how life would be if that really could happen. He was awakened by a knock at his bedroom door.
"Enter." he said as the door opened. He saw a head poke through the opening. He smiled as he saw who it was. The door was opened further and a red haired woman in a red nightgown. She came through the door carrying a tray. She smiled as she walked over to his bed and placed the tray, which had four little legs, over his own legs. The tray had a plate of food on it. It was a full Gartlant breakfast, which consisted of three sausages, two pieces of toast, a fried tomato, baked beans, two fried eggs and a glass of orange juice.
"Thanks Tiger... This looks great." he smiled as she placed the tray down. She smiled and sat down on the bed beside him as he tucked into the delicious meal.
"I... I should be getting back now." Tiger whispered sadly. "Luchs and Panther will awaken soon." she got up to leave and found Faust's hand holding her wrist. "M, master!"
He stroked her hand lovingly. Faust then kissed the top of it, which spread a large blush all over her face.
"I don't have to tell you how much I love you... but." he pulled her close to him, she half fell and half sprawled onto the bed. Faust put his arm around her. "I want to ask you something..."
Tiger looked thoughtful. Her brow furrowed as she thought of what it was he was going to ask her.
"What is it Lord?"
He smiled and hugged her.
"Not here. Two hours, near our tree. Now go." he smiled as the Marionette hurried out of his room. (Today's the day...)
