Lumen Lunae Noctu

Chapter 1


"X! wait up! You're walking too fast," Soldjer yelled as she ran to X.
"Soldjer, I am not waiting for you. I don't like walking in the forest at night," X replied with a grunt.
"We're almost to the HQ, X. We don't need to get there that quickly."
"Yes we do damnit! Do you know why? Because some maverick can pop out of nowhere and attack us," X grunted back at Soldjer.
Soldjer felt silent for a moment, "Nag, you really have-to bite my head off, do you?! Well, if you want to get back to HQ so badly, then go! I am staying out here and not going back in until you slow down," Soldjer yelled.
"Grr… fine, see if I ca-" X stopped in his tracks.
"X, what's wrong?" Soldjer walked up out of concern.
"I… saw something dash in front of me and then it disappeared," X's eyes were narrowed as if he got frightened by something. "We're not alone in this forest…"
"I'll call Rhythm and Zero for bac-" Right before Soldjer finished the sentence, Zero beat them right to it.
"X! Soldjer! Head back to the base immediately! There is unknown maverick activity where you guys are! Please hurry!"
"Roger that! We're heading bac-" Two arrows were shot out of nowhere and hit X's and Soldjer's teleporting devices, destroying them.
"Aw crap. We can't teleport back to base! We're screwed," Soldjer cried.
X scolded, "I don't know if we're going to survive out here…"
At that comment, Soldjer slapped X on his right shoulder, "Stop scaring me like that! I hate it when you say that crap, X!"
"Jeez, what was that for?! That hurt! If I was lying, I wouldn't tell you!"
Soldjer turned her head slightly and saw a bunch of undead minions and demons packed up to form a barrier, "Uh, X? Look behind you…"
"Ugh… What do you want no- oh my god…" X said as he turned around.
"We're surrounded! We can't get out," Soldjer screamed.
Soldjer came closer to X and hugged him, frightened, "Protect me X… I'm scared," Soldjer cried.
"I am here for you, Soldjer… I'll protect you," X replied as he started to cry.
