Chapter 1: A new enemy
"Finally, we have arrived."
He stood there gazing at the main screen that now showed the planet Earth. He would have smiled at the completion of his journey, but he never smiled. At first sight, he didn't seem very intimidating. He stood just under 6 feet tall, with short spiked red hair and green eyes. However, there was something terrifying about him. It wasn't the fact that he wore metal boots, or that his black uniform bore a badge symbolizing that he was the leader of the ship. There seemed to be an aura about him that screamed death and destruction. Even one of his generals next to him seemed to be wary of standing too close.
He turned to his nervous general and glared into his eyes. "Have you finished the plans yet, Utsuru?"
"W-w-well . . ., it's not that they aren't done. Th--There are just a few more details that I hadn't taken into account yet. It's just a matter of a few hours, Kowasu, I'm almost done!" Utsuru quickly stammered out, shocked by Kowasu's sudden question.
"Well then get back to work! Don't waste my time by standing around," Kowasu growled. He was obviously not happy with Utsuru's answer.
"Y-y-yes, I'm sorry Kowasu." He took of running. Utsuru, while he seemed to be an idiot, was actually quite intelligent. One of the few of his species to actually understand and use temporal magic, he was one of the most intelligent Iru in existence.
"Damn it, I totally forgot about Minako!" He pored over his plan again. He simply had the misfortune of always missing the little details. He was fairly short by the Iru's standards, even shorter than Kowasu in fact. He stopped for a minute and looked at his reflection in the window. A face with black hair, blue eyes, and small glasses stared back at him. He sighed then turned back to his work.
"Okay . . . so what happens if Minako happens to attack Kowasu instead of Makoto," he wondered, continuing on a process which would take a few days longer than he had planned.
"So why is it so important that we take earth, as opposed to just simply living on it," asked a fairly pretty girl with long white hair and green eyes.
"Because they are the ones who are responsible for the mess we are in right now, Yoru," Kowasu said angrily.
"Everything was just fine when we were back on earth thousands of years ago. No one ever knew why were different from the rest of the humans. They only knew that we were different. For that we were shunned. We were outcasts, and we were forced to leave Earth. We had to pick Planet X to live on because the humans had all the other planets taken already. We were forced to live under harsh conditions. If we hadn't invented the mechanical Tatsu, we would have all died within the first 10 years. We still slowly died out. Now our nearly extinct race is finally at the position where we can take revenge on the humans. Mark my words, victory will be ours."
A maddened evil laugh resounded through the spaceship as it sped silently through space towards earth undetected by radar.
