Prologue:
The year is 2456 January 10th. Earth has just come out of their 5th Tyranid invasion as the planet is recovering slowly from the carnage.
Chapter 1: Shore Leave
Just outside the walls of fort Valfenor a young man walks through the bustling city that surrounded the fort. He called himself Spada he was on shore leave with the 4th legion, having a well-earned break from the Tyranid's invasion. It was at times like this Spada appreciated having time off as he hardly ever got any. He had to hide from his superiors as if they found him doing nothing they would reward his good work, with yet even more work.
He had signed onto the Planetary defence by choice and duty, but their were days he wished he had not signed on to the defence's. He missed his mother and farther on earth as he hardly ever seen them, he found a little fountain with some trees and flowers surrounding it. He took off his headband slowly looking at his reflection. Spada had always been different to most people as he had a weird marking in the middle of his head, that was shaped like a pentagram. He also had a dragon symbol on his left arm but most people though it was a bad tattoo so he never bothered covering that up.
He knew about his past and his bloodline his parents had told him all about it, but he never wanted to be a god in the realm of heaven. He usually had to be wary tacking of his headband as he did not want to be found by heaven and enlisted there. But he felt he would be safe for now he sat down lying on the grass, relishing the chance to actually rest without some alarm waking him. He thought about his last mission, he had lost quite a few good friends on the mission to the Tyranid's; he was still haunted by the horrible creatures.
He had grown to really hate the Tyranid's, which was why he never became a god he wanted to help the planetary defences out. But he could not use his powers unless their was a great need for them, even though he was not a registered god and did not have a licence, his parents had taught him how to use his non god powers as he was only half god. But he rarely used his powers and had to erase people's memories afterwards. He sighed he could have saved his friends but then he would be revealed for what he was, and would be the subject of lab experiments which he did not want. Plus heaven would have noticed his power signal and probably come, looking for him.
He looked around on the planetary outpost it was mostly big buildings nothing special, but there were some places were there was nature. He had always found it relaxing to rest in the arboretums on any outpost as the feel of nature soothed him. He felt kind off alone in his life he had a family but he wanted someone special whom he could be with. The planetary defence did not allow women into their ranks not because they weren't capable. But because of Genestealer's the most hated breed of Tyranid's, these monsters would implant their seed in women and a Genestealer hybrid would be born shortly after. But women helped out by designing new weapons and being on the side lines controlling things and giving orders out of harms way.
Spada though it was not fair in a way for it meant no time for relationships, but then there was not much time for anything but work in planetary defence. He thought on he wanted to go home and lead a normal life but he could not ever lead a normal life. At least not until the Tyranid threat was contained, he did not know how long that may take to do this, as no mater how many they killed more just kept coming. As the species reproduced 100 times faster than anything they had ever seen, in his constant service to the Defence he had gained the rank of Lieutenant and his name carried some weight in the ranks.
He was allowed showing of future attack plans, he knew the Defence was mounting a final assault on the Tyranid home world, which they had just recently found the location of. He knew that they would soon begin the final push on the Tyranid forces. He looked at his watch it was almost 0500 on his watch. He had about an hour before he went back on duty he continued to think on things. He kept wishing in his mind about finding someone to be, with but he should not have done so as the heavens heard that wish.
He heard a noise as a portal opened up he recognised it, "dam they have found me" he got up drawing his power sword which he thought might be pointless as they would probably be immune to it. The portal opened wider as a goddess came out of it. He looked at her intently she was a very beautiful goddess she had long blond hair and circular marking on her face she was wearing a long dark blue dress, with daffodils patterned across the dress. She looked to be about five foot seven inches tall to Spada, as the portal closed and she floated above the ground, she opened her eyes they were a beautiful sky blue.
He found her very pretty but he did not know what she was here for as he dropped his jacket that he always had on. Spada was about six ft five inches tall, he was wearing very thin armour plating over a black T-shirt, and he had blue jeans and a belt, which had a Boltpistol holster on, and a sheath for the power sword. His commanders always nagged at him to put power armour on, but he found the suits to clumsy to use plus he never needed them anyway.
Spada had short dark hair and dark green eyes, the goddess looked at him noticing the dragon marking and his pentagram on his forehead. She smiled happily but she also looked at his sword wondering why he had drawn it. "Hello my name is Cassandra what is yours?" He looked at her intently not sure whether to give her an answer; he thought nothing bad could come of it. "My name is Spada what do you want?"
Cassandra smiled "well originally I came here to grant you a wish as you are in such pain, but I never thought I would be grating a wish to a fellow god." Spada looked at her "you heard my thoughts?" Cassandra sat down on the grass smiling "no but we heard your soul cry out for somebody." Spada looked at her he was not sure whether she would try to bring him back to heaven or not. "I don't want to go back to heaven I have more important things to do." Cassandra looked at him "but you must come to the heavens you are a god after all."
Spada drew his mark 7 Boltpistol pointing it at her the laser sight locking on, she jumped back "why do you point that at me I am only here to help you?" He looked at her "look I don't want to hurt you but I don't want to go back to heaven, the assault on the Tyranid home world is coming up and I must be there." She looked at him "how long till this assault?" Spada looked at her "three months after we finish with the home world I will come to heaven with you."
She looked at him intently "why not come back for three months with me to heaven then come back for the assault, you could learn how to use your powers more and help the earth win." Spada looked at her more "I would like that it would be a nice change for me, but my commanders might not agree on a three month leave." She smiled "don't worry I am sure Yggdrasil will make them allow you to leave for three months."
Spada looked at her "what is this Yggdrasil you speak of?" She looked at him "you don't know?" He looked back "no I know nothing of the heavens only that my farther comes from there." She smiled "Yggdrasil is the computer system that runs the heavens it controls our lives and fates." Spada looked at her, "and this Yggdrasil will allow me to come back to heaven?" Cassandra smiled brightly "yes." Spada put down his Boltpistol "alright I will come with you but first there are some things I need to pick up, from my quarters then I need to see my commander about this three month leave." Cassandra smiled "ok I will come with you." He looked at her putting his jacket back on and putting his sword and Boltpistol away, "may I ask you something Cassandra?" Cassandra looked at him "sure."
"You said you came here to grant a wish do I still get to have that wish?" Cassandra looked at him "I don't know since you are a god we will have to ask the lord." He looked at her "fair enough you best follow me it is easy to get lost in this place." She smiled getting up her dress flowing, Spada thought about asking her to change, but he decided against it he was used to attention anyway. She walked up to him as he started off back towards the fort.
She had to run up to him "slow down my legs are not as long as yours." He smiled slowing down for her "you slowpoke." Cassandra fumed punching him in the shoulder "ouch my hand" he laughed "you silly girl." Cassandra pulled a face "you meanie." Spada laughed more "come on slowpoke." He started walking faster. Cassandra absolutely fumed "wait up" he eventually got to the fort as Cassandra finally caught up to him panting heavily. "Jeez you walk fast." He smiled "aww did I go to fast for you?" Cassandra shot him an angry glare "you big meanie."
The guard there laughed seeing them argue Spada recognised the voice, it was Koji his battle partner, Koji was bigger than Spada then all planetary defence marines were, as they got genetically enhanced at birth. Koji was about nine ft tall the normal height for a marine he was as usual wearing power armour. Koji always taunted him for being so small and not being able to use power armour and only able to use battle suits.
But he also feared Spada, as he was stronger than any marine, although he didn't know how he was so strong since he obviously was not genetically enhanced. He also knew about Spada's military history he knew he had trained in the assassin's temple for a year, and had exceeded all but the master assassin in one year, which was unheard off as assassin's had to train for decades to get that good. He also knew he had been at the psychic temple for two years and was a master Psychic.
He however had only marine training and he knew he would not last long against Spada; he stopped thinking looking at the girl beside him. She was obviously from the colony, or at least he thought she was but her had never seen someone as beautiful as her. "So planning to have some fun are we before we come on duty?" Spada looked at him angrily "no I am here to pick up some things she is here to help." Koji laughed "well whatever go ahead but she best be gone before your work shift starts."
Chapter 2: Spada's Close Call
Spada passed by Koji as Cassandra followed him "what did he mean by fun?" Spada stopped "sometime marines bring back girls here to well be close let's just say that." Cassandra looked at him "oh and he though you brought me here for the same thing." Spada nodded "yes but you know that is not the case." She smiled lightly "yes I do", he continued on getting to his cabin and going in he dropped his belt and sword. He went into his cabin getting a different belt, which had two Boltpistol holsters and a sword sheath. He then opened a trunk getting two Boltpistol's and a sword out. The Boltpistol's were not standard issue, they were collared blue and had wings embalmed on the side instead of red with a two-headed eagle.
The sword was also not standard issue it was about three meters long, instead of two and a half meters long. The handle was also different, as it had two giant wings coming off a phoenix. He also got out an armoured breastplate he took of his current one and replaced it, putting the new belt around him and putting the sword and pistols in their places. He got some other things that he put into a bag a few pictures of his farther and mother and some general junk. He put his jacket back on and attached the small bag to his side and looked at Cassandra.
"Ok I got everything I need to see my commander you best wait here." Cassandra nodded watching him leave, she wondered about this god he was different to others she had met this one was a bit cold to her. Hardly any god's were ever like that around her, that dragon marking was also very unusual, she knew he was half god but she wondered what the dragon symbol meant. She wondered whether she should ask him. As Cassandra wondered about Spada, Spada thought about her she seemed nice enough to him, he did not know whether she would ever like him but he knew he liked her.
He did not know why he instantly liked her but he did. He had seen a few beautiful girls on his travels to the many space stations that earth had scattered around space. He stopped thinking of her as he got to the commander's office as he knocked on the door. The commander came forward looking at him "oh it's you Spada what do you want?" Spada looked at him "I would like to request a three month leave to train for the assault on the Tyranid home world." The commander looked at him with penetrating eyes "if it will help us win then yes, we do not particularly need you so you have my permission for this leave."
The commander signed a leave of absence note for Spada "now be off with you." Spada tuned thinking that was way to easy. He had asked for leave for training before, and usually he had to argue with the commander for hours before he caved in. He went back to his cabin where Cassandra was waiting for him he smiled a bit seeing she was still there. "I am allowed to leave" Cassandra smiled "see what did I tell you Yggdrasil sorted things out."
He grinned at her "are you always so self absorbed." She looked at him menacingly "you take that back you big meanie." He smiled "alright, alright calm down keep your shirt on I am sorry I said that." She smiled "that's better." She waved her hands as a portal opened up as she went through it. Spada sighed he knew this day might come but not so soon, he went through the portal with her. He opened his eyes looking over heaven his mother had always said it was beautiful and she was right.
Cassandra smiles at him "isn't it beautiful?" he smiled at her "for once I agree with you." He thought for a moment "so what happens now?" She smiled "now we go see the lord he will give you your licence and assign you someone to teach you your godly skills." He smiled "sounds cool can't wait to learn these new skills." She looked at him "you must be respectful to the lord though, do not try to approach him or shake his hand unless he asks you two. And do not speak unless spoken too and be very gracious." Spada sighed, "sounds familiar we have to go through that routine whenever the general comes to our space station."
Cassandra smiled "sounds interesting you will have to tell me about the planetary defence." He looked down "I would rather not there are some bad memories of which I do not wish to be reminded off." She looked at him "did you lose someone?" He nodded "I lost quite a few good friends to the Tyranid's." she looked down "I am sorry I did not know." He looked at her "how could you." He walked on with her to the lord's palace.
The lord greeted him he looked at his markings recognising were he came from "well it is about time you got here we have been waiting for you." He looked back at the lord bowing some "begging your pardon but if you knew of me why did you not come for me earlier?" The lord looked back at him "there were many reasons, which I do not have to share with you young one." Cassandra nudged him "be quiet" Spada growled keeping quiet.
The lord looked at him "I will give you a god level three licence, you will have to prove you are worthy for higher than that." He nodded "thank you my lord may I ask who will tutor me?" the lord looked at him "I think I will let Cassandra's mother teach you she is one of the best in heaven." He smiled "as you wish" the lord looked at him "Cassandra you get your mother I need to talk privately with Spada." Cassandra bowed going to get her mother. The lord looked at Spada.
"I know of your history, I see you have had quite a few tragedies that have made you hate the Tyranid's." He looked at him "what of it?" The lord looked back angrily "don't take that tone of voice with me." Spada bowed some "I am sorry my lord." The lord looked at him "I can tell I am going to have trouble with you." Spada smirked, a little "what of my hatred for those monsters?"
"I want you to stop hating them that hate could lead to major problems" now this was something the lord should not have said to Spada, it is like prodding a bull with a pointy stick. Spada looked at him angrily "I know you are the lord but they butchered my friends without any regard and you are asking me to forgive them like that?" the lord looked at him. "Silence I am not asking you to forgive them I am asking you to stop hating them."
Spada hit the ground "it is not that easy I can't just stop hating them like that and no order from you can change that." The lord looks back angrily, "I suppose not but I want you to try and furthermore, don't even speak to me like that again do I make myself clear?" Spada looked him "crystal clear." Spada had always been rebellious to commanders, which was why he never got to far in the military he sometimes ever brimmed on a court marshal. He knew he had to be careful up here as the lord could do away with him on a whim.
Cassandra came back with her mother who greeted the lord. "What is it you wish of me?" The lord looks at her "I want you to teach this juvenile hear his powers and some manners." Serenity looked at him "as you wish." She approached Spada looking over him "interesting markings I have not seen the like before who were your parents?" Spada looked at her "I don't have to tell you do I?" Serenity looked at him "no I was just interested there is no need to bite my head off like that." Spada nodded "forgive me I am just a bit irritated." He shot an angry glance at the lord who just turned "I will leave him in your care."
The lord walked off to attend to heavenly matters Cassandra looked at him punching his arm, "are you crazy don't be so disrespectful of him do you want to die?" Spada looked back "no I do not but he brought up a bad subject with me that always makes me mad." Serenity looked at him "I can tell you are hurting I can understand why you got angry but you have to be more careful." Spada nodded getting up "I will may I ask what is you name?" Serenity smiled "my name is Serenity I am Cassandra's mother nice to meet you." She extends her arm.
Spada shakes it lightly "nice to meet you my name is Spada." Serenity smiled "if you want you can stay with us we have an extra room unless you want to sleep elsewhere." Spada smiled, "I would like to stay with you if Cassandra does not mind." Cassandra looked at him "alright you can stay at my house but you had best be nice to me." Spada looked at her "I will try but I will not make a definite promise to you."
Cassandra smiled "that is good enough for me." Serenity smiles "then it is settled follow me." Spada follows Cassandra and Serenity, admiring heaven's beauty as he walks by they reach a little house surrounded by a forest. Near by the house there is a waterfall he smiles it was quite a nice home and the location was lovely. He smiled "you have a lovely home", Serenity smiles "thank you."
She shows him in, showing where everything is, and showing him to his room he smiles. "Thank you it looks lovely." Serenity looks at them both "what would you like for tea?" Cassandra looks at her "roast potatoes, veg and chips please." Serenity nods "and what would you like Spada?" Spada looks at her "I will have the same thank you."
Cassandra stays with Spada as he takes his armour and weapons off tacking off his shirt, he looks at her as she looks back, his body had a huge dragon tattoo on his back and he was wearing a chain with a dragon on. Cassandra looked at him "do you have an obsession with dragons or something?" Spada smiles "yes they are my favourite creature I always think a dragon will come help us in our campaign."
Cassandra smiles "my favourite creature is a unicorn I got to ride one when I was young and have been in love with them ever since." Spada smiles "I have never seen a unicorn I have seen a dragon." Cassandra looks at him "I thought they died out?" Spada shacked his head, "no there are a few left." Cassandra smiles "I will show you a unicorn if you will show me a dragon." Spada looked at her "it's a deal." Cassandra giggles shaking his hand happily she then leaves him to rest.
Spada fell back on to the bed sighing at how soft it was, he had to sleep on a metal plank with a small mattress on it in the planetary defence. He relished the felling of a soft bed under himself he closed his eyes actually having nice thoughts for once as he gently dozed off.

"I am allowed to leave" Cassandra smiled "see what did I tell you Yggdrasil sorted things out."
He grinned at her "are you always so self absorbed." She looked at him menacingly "you take that back you big meanie." He smiled "alright, alright calm down keep your shirt on I am sorry I said that." She smiled "that's better." She waved her hands as a portal opened up as she went through it. Spada sighed he knew this day might come but not so soon, he went through the portal with her. He opened his eyes looking over heaven his mother had always said it was beautiful and she was right.
Cassandra smiles at him "isn't it beautiful?" he smiled at her "for once I agree with you." He thought for a moment "so what happens now?" She smiled "now we go see the lord he will give you your licence and assign you someone to teach you your godly skills." He smiled "sounds cool can't wait to learn these new skills." She looked at him "you must be respectful to the lord though, do not try to approach him or shake his hand unless he asks you two. And do not speak unless spoken too and be very gracious." Spada sighed, "sounds familiar we have to go through that routine whenever the general comes to our space station."
Cassandra smiled "sounds interesting you will have to tell me about the planetary defence." He looked down "I would rather not there are some bad memories of which I do not wish to be reminded off." She looked at him "did you lose someone?" He nodded "I lost quite a few good friends to the Tyranid's." she looked down "I am sorry I did not know." He looked at her "how could you." He walked on with her to the lord's palace.
The lord greeted him he looked at his markings recognising were he came from "well it is about time you got here we have been waiting for you." He looked back at the lord bowing some "begging your pardon but if you knew of me why did you not come for me earlier?" The lord looked back at him "there were many reasons, which I do not have to share with you young one." Cassandra nudged him "be quiet" Spada growled keeping quiet.
The lord looked at him "I will give you a god level three licence, you will have to prove you are worthy for higher than that." He nodded "thank you my lord may I ask who will tutor me?" the lord looked at him "I think I will let Cassandra's mother teach you she is one of the best in heaven." He smiled "as you wish" the lord looked at him "Cassandra you get your mother I need to talk privately with Spada." Cassandra bowed going to get her mother. The lord looked at Spada.
"I know of your history, I see you have had quite a few tragedies that have made you hate the Tyranid's." He looked at him "what of it?" The lord looked back angrily "don't take that tone of voice with me." Spada bowed some "I am sorry my lord." The lord looked at him "I can tell I am going to have trouble with you." Spada smirked, a little "what of my hatred for those monsters?"
"I want you to stop hating them that hate could lead to major problems" now this was something the lord should not have said to Spada, it is like prodding a bull with a pointy stick. Spada looked at him angrily "I know you are the lord but they butchered my friends without any regard and you are asking me to forgive them like that?" the lord looked at him. "Silence I am not asking you to forgive them I am asking you to stop hating them."
Spada hit the ground "it is not that easy I can't just stop hating them like that and no order from you can change that." The lord looks back angrily, "I suppose not but I want you to try and furthermore, don't even speak to me like that again do I make myself clear?" Spada looked him "crystal clear." Spada had always been rebellious to commanders, which was why he never got to far in the military he sometimes ever brimmed on a court marshal. He knew he had to be careful up here as the lord could do away with him on a whim.
Cassandra came back with her mother who greeted the lord. "What is it you wish of me?" The lord looks at her "I want you to teach this juvenile hear his powers and some manners." Serenity looked at him "as you wish." She approached Spada looking over him "interesting markings I have not seen the like before who were your parents?" Spada looked at her "I don't have to tell you do I?" Serenity looked at him "no I was just interested there is no need to bite my head off like that." Spada nodded "forgive me I am just a bit irritated." He shot an angry glance at the lord who just turned "I will leave him in your care."
The lord walked off to attend to heavenly matters Cassandra looked at him punching his arm, "are you crazy don't be so disrespectful of him do you want to die?" Spada looked back "no I do not but he brought up a bad subject with me that always makes me mad." Serenity looked at him "I can tell you are hurting I can understand why you got angry but you have to be more careful." Spada nodded getting up "I will may I ask what is you name?" Serenity smiled "my name is Serenity I am Cassandra's mother nice to meet you." She extends her arm.
Spada shakes it lightly "nice to meet you my name is Spada." Serenity smiled "if you want you can stay with us we have an extra room unless you want to sleep elsewhere." Spada smiled, "I would like to stay with you if Cassandra does not mind." Cassandra looked at him "alright you can stay at my house but you had best be nice to me." Spada looked at her "I will try but I will not make a definite promise to you."
Cassandra smiled "that is good enough for me." Serenity smiles "then it is settled follow me." Spada follows Cassandra and Serenity, admiring heaven's beauty as he walks by they reach a little house surrounded by a forest. Near by the house there is a waterfall he smiles it was quite a nice home and the location was lovely. He smiled "you have a lovely home", Serenity smiles "thank you."
She shows him in, showing where everything is, and showing him to his room he smiles. "Thank you it looks lovely." Serenity looks at them both "what would you like for tea?" Cassandra looks at her "roast potatoes, veg and chips please." Serenity nods "and what would you like Spada?" Spada looks at her "I will have the same thank you."
Cassandra stays with Spada as he takes his armour and weapons off tacking off his shirt, he looks at her as she looks back, his body had a huge dragon tattoo on his back and he was wearing a chain with a dragon on. Cassandra looked at him "do you have an obsession with dragons or something?" Spada smiles "yes they are my favourite creature I always think a dragon will come help us in our campaign."
Cassandra smiles "my favourite creature is a unicorn I got to ride one when I was young and have been in love with them ever since." Spada smiles "I have never seen a unicorn I have seen a dragon." Cassandra looks at him "I thought they died out?" Spada shacked his head, "no there are a few left." Cassandra smiles "I will show you a unicorn if you will show me a dragon." Spada looked at her "it's a deal." Cassandra giggles shaking his hand happily she then leaves him to rest.
Spada fell back on to the bed sighing at how soft it was, he had to sleep on a metal plank with a small mattress on it in the planetary defence. He relished the felling of a soft bed under himself he closed his eyes actually having nice thoughts for once as he gently dozed off.
