A Twisted Destiny
By: Kallie
Prologue
A little girl with red hair ran towards her parents. She was a few feet away from them when her mother let out a piercing scream. She collapsed and was soon followed by her husband. The little girl stared wide eyed and started to cry. She was grabbed from behind and carried away.
"Let me go! I want my Mommy!" She cried at the top of her lungs. She was rewarded with a slap to her head. She gave a small cry and blacked out. The soldier carrying her looked down in disgust. He wanted to kill her, but those weren't his orders. He transported back to the base and was met by another soldier carrying a little girl with dark blue hair.
"Your mission successful?" The first asked.
"Yeah. We killed off her village like ordered. But we haven't caught the chief yet. How did yours go?"
"As well as can be expected. It was a piece of cake. Her parents didn't even see it coming. Why we have to capture little girls is beyond me."
They walked the rest of the way in silence. Soon they approached a throne room. Entering they walked to the throne and bowed. "We have what you asked for Master."
"Good. You left proficient signs for the survivors to follow?"
"Yes sir. They will know not to cross you if they want to see either alive."
"Excellent. "
A tall man stood from the throne and walked down the steps. When he reached the bottom of them he stepped into the light, revealing his features. He had long gray hair and neon green eyes. He wore a dark green tunic and black hose. On his head was a crown of sorts.
The soldiers put the two girls on the floor and stepped back. The man looked down at them then snapped his head up, a snarl on his face. "I told you they were not to be harmed!" he roared.
"But sire, it was the only way to get them here."
"Enough. Get out of my site before I kill you."
The soldiers ran out of the room. The man stooped down and looked at the girls. The red head was starting to come around. She opened her eyes and looked around her. She started to cry until she saw the man. She launched herself into his arms. He was taken aback by this.
"Aren't you scared?"
"Yes. I want my Mommy."
"Why are you hugging me then?"
"Because you're my grandpa." The man jerked back. But the little girl was looking up at him with big teary eyes. He felt his heart soften. "That's right little one." He realized with a start that he did look just like her grandfather, except for the eyes. But he figured that the blow to her head might have jumbled things slightly.
"Talpa. Come here." He commanded. In a moment Talpa appeared.
"What my I do for you my Lord?"
"I want you to set up rooms for the two girls. And make sure they are nice."
"But sire, aren't we holding them captive?"
"No. They are to be treated with respect."
"But Alligar"
"Enough! From this moment on they are both my granddaughters."
"But"
"Do you dare question me?!"
"No sire. I shall do as you command." And with that Talpa disappeared.
By this time the blue-haired girl started to stir. She sat up and the first thing she said was "You have cool eyes!"
Alligar started to laugh. "What do you remember little one?"
"About what?"
"Anything before now?"
"There was something before now?"
"Hmm." Alligar started to think to himself. She must have gotten amnesia. Well now I won't have to fix her memory. This is great! I now have two heirs to my throne and don't have to even think about passing it on to Talpa. He is incompetent, and won't follow my plans as to what needs to be accomplished.
He looked down both looking up at him. "What are your names?"
"I'm Mia . . . Mia . . . I don't remember the rest. But I'm Mia." The red head said proudly.
"My name is Kayura." The blue-haired girl said. Then she yawned. Mia followed.
"Let's get you to your rooms so you can sleep."
When the girls were tucked in he went back to the throne room. But someone stayed back at the girls' rooms. Talpa stood staring at them and brooding. "They will get in the way. This will ruin everything. Watch your backs, girls. Because when the time is right I will get rid of you." He promised, then walked away to add this change into his plans.
As the years went by the two girls grew up. Everyone liked them, or learned to like them. Those who didn't like them didn't dare say anything. Alligar was a ruthless tyrant, but had a soft spot for the two girls. Four teens were added to the regiment, but they didn't have the same status as the girls.
The teens were Sekhemet, Anubis, Dais, and Cale. They ended up training the girls somewhat. The two groups ended up competing for Alligar's attention. Mia, and Kayura were always ahead, so the two groups were bitter towards each other for the most part.
Talpa used this to get the future warlords on his side. But he saw potential in Kayura. He added her into his plans, whether it was willingly or not he didn't care.
So when Alligar left to conquer a different world, Talpa saw his chance.
"Mia I'm leaving you and Kayura in charge. Watch out for Talpa. I don't trust him."
"Don't worry Papi. We don't trust him either." Mia had gotten into the habit of calling Alligar Papi. Kayura nodded, "We'll keep everything in line. The mortals won't even know what hit them. By the time you come back we'll have the Earth conquered."
"That's right. We'll keep the armors from getting together. Then they won't even matter." Mia agreed.
Alligar kissed each on the cheek and left with his army. The minute Talpa was sure Alligar was out of reach he attacked Mia and Kayura. The warlords helped him. Talpa dragged Kayura off to Badamon. She was kicking and yelling obscenities the entire time. It took 10 soldiers to get her there.
Talpa and the Warlords kept Mia in line. "You my dear will be useful."
"I can't tell you how good that makes me feel." Mia sneered.
"I know the Ronins will try to stop me, so you are going to be my bait."
"Your crazy! What makes you think I'll corporate?"
" If you want Kayura to survive you'll corporate. Take her away to the dungeons. When I'm ready we'll bring her out."
"Damn you!" Mia yelled as she was taken away. "I'll get you somehow Talpa!"
Mia was thrown into the dungeons to wait till she was needed.

I don't own the Ronins. Just Alligar and the story plot.
