ok back to andromeda.
Kala sat with her son in the coalition throne room. Alexander played with his stuffed magog and played out scenes from books that Anjel had no doubtably read to him. Kala was actually quite jealous of the relationship the bodyguard had with her son. Kala knew she and Alexander would never have that closeness, because while nietzscheans were genetically perfect parents, Kala just didn't take. She had always been more of a warrior than a mother, and she simply did not have the patience that was necessary with small children.
But Alexander was his father's son and the rightful alpha when he became of age. If he was molded correctly, nothing could stop the coalition, but more importantly Kala from exploiting his power.
And yet there was a problem. Anjelicia. The Beacon which the Reincarnate used in the prophecies to harness the power of the magog swarms. Tamerlane had made it quite clear that no one was to harm his mate, and he would not use her himself, which left only one option. Tamerlane would have to be eradicated, leaving no one but Little Alexander to provoke the Beacon.
Kala watched in disgust as the filthy little mutt that Anjel had bought her son romped around the room. Yet another thing to exterminate. Alexander spoke of the inferior wench constantly, asking where she was, when he could see her again. He had even become so bold as to use her as a weapon against his mother and his nanny. Neither woman wished to be upstaged by an inferior, so in order to win the boys love, they had both waited on him hand and foot and saw to his every whim. The child was beginning to spoil, and yet he still persisted to call for Anjelicia when he was frightened or injured. This only made Kala despise the girl more.
He would have to be hardened, made to see that she was not his friend, but a tool in which he should become Alpha of all Nietzscheans.
"Greetings Powerful Woman." A hearty calculated voice boomed. A cloaked figure stepped forward into the lights.
"You are interrupting me, Kludge." Kala spat but did not give the visitor much interest. It was nearly impossible to navigate the catacombs of the Coalition base. This man could not have found his way on accident. He was probably only a messenger.
The figure laughed, full heartedly. "It was my intention." he said with a sneer. He stepped closer towards Kala and Alexander before removing his hood. His chocolate brown eyes washed over the boy and his dog, while his sneer turned to a genuine smile.
Kala felt a surge of maternal instinct rush through her had the dark man gazed at her son. She seemed to radiate power as she stepped between the man and her son.
"Anasazi." She hissed.
Tyr merely laughed again. "I see that at least now you are somewhat protective of your offspring, even if you place him in the care of a half- breed."
"Strong words coming from the father in law of that half-breed." Kala shot back.
Tyr stopped his laughing, but he didn't let his anger show. Kala had hit a nerve, good. Tyr calmly removed his cloak and dropped it on the floor. Underneath he wore an open black leather vest and matching pants that hugged him so tightly that it was obvious he wore nothing underneath. His silver belt hung loosely around his hips and held an empty blaster holster. He placed his arms in the air and turned slowly in a circle, showing that he had no weapons.
Kala nodded but stood her ground before her son, whom had stopped playing and was now staring at the Kodiak. Tyr smiled, "I am here to offer an alliance."
Kala was taken aback. Why would the leader of the Kodiak and the man who they were fighting against want an alliance? "I am listening," She said, have informed me that the Magog are not years away, but rather months. Our time is limited; if we wish to stop the magog invasion we must harness it, now. If we are to survive, the nietzschean force must ban together. With the magog under our control the nietzscheans will be restored to the power we once were." he said his little speak with great gusto, but Kala was suddenly reminded of the conversation she had with Tamerlane.
"Why does the great Kodiak need our assistance?" Kala was to say the least suspicious, something didn't seem right.
"You wish for the beacon, and I wish for my son to live. The threat of the magog is to close for our squabbling to persist. This alliance is the most practical measure of ensuring our survival." Tyr said as he stepped closer to Alexander. Duncan, the puppy, actually came to him and sniffed his leg. Tyr bent down, making himself vulnerable and pet the mutt before sending it away. He hoped that this action showed Kala his trust.
Evidently it did. "If what you say is true, Kodiak, than I believe you are right. We will both profit greatly from this agreement." and afterwards I can kill you. "Whatever we have is at your disposal."
"The Maru is entering hanger 5." Andromeda reported to everyone in command.
"Thank you Andromeda. Trance." Dylan said as he turned to leave command.
"Yes Dylan?" Trance said from the hydroponics.
"Meet us in hanger 5."
Tamerlane, Harper and Dylan left command together. The girls had only been gone 3 days, but they were missed. Tamerlane had spent the last day pacing about the gym or in command, flying the ship. He enjoyed doing it, but it was obvious that he seemed lost without his mate.
Dylan too was a little edgier. He almost blew a gasket when he heard that Tyr's ships had attacked the Maru. He didn't even try to lie to himself, he was worried about Beka. He knew she was a big girl and capable of handling any situation, but he still worried. It was normal for men to worry about their mates. Wait did I just use the word MATE? Too much time with the nietzscheans.
The news from Rhade was also surprising. Why would all of Tyr's fleet be stationed on the border of the nietzschean Coalition territory? He had made an agreement with Kala, and if Tyr attacked, he wound be forced to help her. It wasn't helping her that Dylan had a problem with; it was what the rest of the Common Wealth thought. He had not reported the alliance to Trigema, and as far as he knew, they would help Tyr. Rhade had already told him that he was sent to scout the Coalitions military capabilities, what was going on?
6 decks, 2 ladders, and 5 minutes later, everyone met at hanger 5. Trance had brought a drone and a stretcher with her just incase. They had all heard of Anjel's injuries, and Tamerlane had warned Dylan about the fire storm that little lady could dish out if she wanted too.
"SHOULD BE FINE-MY ASS!!!" Anjel announced their arrival by pointedly yelling at Dylan. Dylan couldn't help but smile, because when the young woman was angry, it reminded him strangely of his sister.
"Hiya Boss" Harper beamed as he ran past Beka, Rhade and Anjel to look at the supplies they had brought home. Beka smiled at him, then turned and smiled more at Dylan. He could tell in her eyes that she knew something was wrong, and shit was about to hit the fan. Dylan couldn't resist. He stepped closer to her and pulled her by the waist to him. He leaned down slightly and felt as her lips press against his. He was a little surprised and disappointed that she had kissed him, because he had the idea, but he none the less returned the kiss.
He heard a muffled laugh and he and Beka looked sideways but didn't break away. Evidently Tamerlane had gotten the same idea, and had Anjel in his arms, although their kiss was much hungrier. He felt Beka rise to the occasion and force her tongue unto his mouth. He laughed in his throat and returned the favor.
"Huh Hem." Someone cleared their throat rather loudly, and both couples seemed to understand that they had company. Beka and Dylan both broke away and Dylan hastily turned his attention to Rhade. He was looking quite disturbed by the lack of ceremony that accompanied the Maru's arrival. He smartly saluted Captain Hunt, who did the same and ordered him back to rest.
"Captain it is good to see you again." Rhade said a tad bit arrogantly.
"The feeling is mutual Admiral." Dylan said humbly.
"Actually its only lieutenant now, Captain." Rhade smiled.
Dylan turned to Trance who was smiling her all knowing 'I love it when things go right' smile. He had learned not to push her on subjects, because he would learn what was necessary in time. "Our medical officer, Trance Gemini, will see to your injuries." Dylan said to Rhade as Trance stepped forward.
Rhade hadn't had any medical attention while on the Maru, with the exception of a skin mender, and he was more than happy to follow the golden woman.
"Anjel, I will need you as well," Trance said, still smiling. Anjel made another face then unwrapped Tamerlane arms from around her body. She slowly and shakily walked towards Trance, who shot her with a high concentration of pain killers and tried to help her onto the stretcher.
"There is no way in hell I am laying on that thing. I can walk." Anjel said not letting Trance help her.
"My calculations say that your legs will not make it to medical." Rommie said as she tried to help Trance as well.
Anjel pointed to Rommie, "I think your calculations are wrong." She said a little drunkenly.
Rommie took Anjel's finger and slightly pushed it back, watching Anjel fall to the ground. She hit the floor and she was out cold. Trance and Rhade looked surprised at each other.
"I thought you were going to catch her!" they both said.
ok there was just meaningless stuff about the home coming, but now we know that Kala is playing the whole field. OOOOOOOOOOO interesting.
Kala sat with her son in the coalition throne room. Alexander played with his stuffed magog and played out scenes from books that Anjel had no doubtably read to him.
