Chap. 1

Ahh, fresh air! The terrain I was in was an ice covered world. I could sense the Metatron beneath, but I didn't need it now. I had more than enough energy. The bottom line is that I was free again. But my elation was cut short as a swarm of incest headed my way. Within them were two Raptors. Good, I thought. I can use the workout. The first one came and slashed out, but I quickly flew back. The second came at me and we clashed; my blade against his. Hmm, they've gotten stronger since last I fought. But... I pushed his away and charged, letting my blade do it thing. I slashed at the poor Raptor and demolished it. The first one obviously didn't get the hint because it came at me. It let out a slash, but I sidestepped and dashed at him. While I was still in dash, my blade ignited once again, ripping it in half.

Apparently, the runner was impressed with my capabilities. He has never summoned a creature like me. That made me glad. It was always nice to be appreciated. Then my senses were alerted. It told me and the runner of the chaos that was happening to this place. According to the runner, a friend of his was in trouble. The man was stuck in one of the LEV mining armors. As I remember it, such fighters aren't that strong, especially when compared to me. All the more reason why we should hurry and help him.  But first, I have to deal with the bugs. Several of them moved at me, like a dirty cloud. They fired beams of energy, but such weapons do little to nothing against armor powered by Metatron. I raised my right arm and began firing back. Bolts of blue shot out and destroyed many of them, but they continued to come. I have no time for this. I let my blade glisten the air again and I struck one down. Still moving, I swung again, this time destroying three. Slash after slash followed and the mosquitoes were all destroyed.

I continued onward to find my runner's comrade, when I was approached by another group of Raptors. The lanky creatures flew at me with their shields up and attacked. They just don't get it, do they? I don't have time for this! Needless to say, they did last long. I continued onward, but my senses discovered that a wall prevented me from getting to him. I growled. I would take too long to slash through the ice-rock wall. But then it occurred to me. I didn't have to. I placed my arms to the side. Great amounts of energy filled my body and caused me to glow. Then I raised one of my arms up into the sky and directed the energy to it. The energy came into the form of a ball and began to grow. When it reached the right size, I arched my arm back and shot it forward. The energy his with devastating results as the mountain wall came down. With the path clear, I continued onward. There was my target. He was currently stuck on the side of the crevice. His leg was injured, but beyond that, he was fine.

"Are you alright?

He looked at me, almost panicked. But his runner had informed him of who my runner was and he seemed to calm down.

"I'm okay. But I seem to be…"

Suddenly, a shadow flew over both of us. I quickly looked up and saw something in the distance. It swooped closer and it was then that I recognized it.

A frame warrior.

It zoomed in closer and appeared to be in attack position. The LEV was frightened and managed to jump out of the way. Strange for a guy that was hurt in his leg. It was then that I took a good look at my opponent.

She was pale white color, wearing a cloak that stretch down to her legs. She was definitely beautiful, I'll give her that. But such thoughts left my mind when she summoned her own powers. Her cloak flew up and split up into dozens of glowing fireballs. They surrounded her and she let them fly at me. I quickly put up my shield at they all smashed into me, hard.

"Hello Jehuty. Now surrender yourself."

"I don't think so. You'll have to fight me first."

"My pleasure. Feel the power of Ardjet."

Ardjet? Interesting name. However, I had no time to dwell on it as she called forth another swarm of fireballs. I decided to outrun them, but they followed me. I had to block again and as before, they exploded before me. I couldn't see through the smoke they created, but when it did clear up, Ardjet was right before me. She had similar weapons as Raptors, although I'm guessing she knows how to use them. I was right. We clashed and she reached back for another strike. I dove down and shot back up in attack, but she flew away, leaving behind several after-images. Whoa, that's fast. Her hand arched out and she summoned a third halo of fireballs. I couldn't risk that working against me again. I flew to the side as she began gathering the energy. Keeping myself focused, I concentrated on her fireball attack itself. When she let them loose, I sent my own wave of energy. Beams of light left my fingers and struck her attack down. She was obviously surprised and caught up in the smoke herself. So much so that she didn't see me coming. I gave her a clean slash across the chest and she reeled back. Well that proved she was a warrior of the frame. No one else could have survived such an attack.

"You're as powerful as they say Jehuty. But I will defeat you."

Her cloak rose again and I prepare for her to summon her fireball attack again. But instead of splitting up, her cloak wrapped around her like a cocoon. Sprays of yellow energy then danced around her and began to gather at her center. Uh, oh. The spray suddenly converged and a beam of pure energy flew at me. I was lucky enough to dodge it as it flew past me and demolished a nearby ice formation. The cloak then retracted and she charged. I flew at her and we clashed again. Her blades moved quickly, but I noticed that they were moving to slowly for me. I blocked the blow and she struck again. Again, I blocked it, without much effort. That's it. She can't fight well at close range. That why she has all those powers. She dashed away and her cloak surrounded her again. The energy began to dance around her again, but I didn't move. They began to circulate to the center, but I was motionless. Have to time this right. The energy converged and the energy beam flew out again. But at the last second, I dodged to the side and came straight at her. Due to the cloak, she couldn't move and was helpless as I moved close to her and let the Metatron fill me greatly. When I had enough, I slashed out, spinning in 180 degrees. She was totally blown away by the force and she crashed onto the ground. As she struggled to rise, I stood over her and held her arms down. Now for some answers.

"So you were looking for me?"

"Maybe."

"Even if you're the enemy, that's a little too harsh."

She simply gave me a half-grin, "It sure is."

I half-scowled. This wasn't getting anywhere. "Who's your commander?"

"Why don't you come and find out?"

Suddenly, she wrestled out of my grip and shot upwards into her vessel. She gave me one look before disappearing within. Now I knew. She wanted me to follow. They were after me. I could have stayed, but that would put the others in danger. My runner realized that as well. Now that we are in agreement... I shot straight into the vessel just before it closed. They wanted me. They would get me...
