Disclaimer: I think it would be shorter if I said only what I actually own. I own the planet names Jrebera, Nerthoria, Zerin, Irora, Rethorec, and Trior. I own the characters Alex Kerios, Meria Krithita, Trolec Verrtsi, Hreth, Youkai, Nethretor, Theoric Harredir, and Hetroric Deriath. I own the Puppy, Raven, and Vengeance Marauder Battlemech chassis, as well as the Warmechs.
Meria set out at dawn. She, Puppy, and Youkai all flew towards the planet Rethorec, a dark planet of very little sunlight. "Where is he? Alex said to meet him on this planet. Oh, wow am I stupid. Computer: enable Autopilot. Destination: Navigational Point Darkness." Meria said, her face paling. "What a strange world to have a clan complex on. I wonder what Alex is thinking. Ah, the Wolf Dark caste members have arrived. Good, now let's find Alex." She added. CRASH! "What the Hell was that?"
"Hold still Meria, I'm bringing you inside now. Puppy: shut down."
"Shutting down."
"What the hell? How come you can shut her down from there?"
"Hey watch where you're going Wolf jackass!"
"Why don't you Trueborn?"
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"You kill him and you will die! I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in my clan! Present yourselves for the second Khan, Meria Krithita!" came many voices as Puppy sank underground.
"Wow, talk about dissension problems."
"Hey, I thought Hreth was the ChaKhan!"
"He is! Meria is the Khan beside me. If it weren't for us, this clan wouldn't exist and you would all still be living in that Hellhole you called home! Now shut up and stand at attention immediately!" a powerful voice yelled over the noise.
"What have I gotten myself into Youkai?" Meria said fearfully. The couple were then assaulted by sudden light.
"What the?" Youkai said as her optical sensors sparked.
"Welcome Meria! They may not be the best of troops yet, but after they settle their differences and learn that they are now once unified clan, we will be unstoppable. Sorry about the noise, I had to quiet them down a bit. Look around you Meria, look and see what we have created: Clan Dark Wolf!" Alex said as he helped Meria out of the Puppy's cockpit.
"Oh my god. This place is beautiful! How on Terra did you ever build this place? Look at these crystal deposits! How did you find this place?" Meria said, her face showing her surprise and awe.
"This is the remains of my homeworld, Irora. We have renamed it Rethorec. This will be our home for now on. Come, let me show you to your quarters while Puppy is cleaned off." Alex said, extending his hand slowly.
"Alright Alex, I kinda need to talk to you alone anyway." Meria said as she, nervously, took Alex's hand. They went deep into the compound, taking a hallway decorated with red, gold, and green lights.
"I made your room myself. I hope you like it. I found it in a place where many different kinds of crystal formations met and bonded with each other. The colors were beautiful, and are the main decoration for your new home. We are the two Khans of this clan. We are the hope and darkness of the men and women of the lesser ranks. And I'm afraid our secret is out. A Jade Falcon named Trolec Verrtsi found out about our plans and told my Khan. I had to survive a Trial of Annihilation in order for this to happen. Thirty Dire Wolves at once and I was in Elemental armor. I have no clue how, but I survived and was banished from the clan. Now, I may take my revenge. Ah, here we are." Alex said as they walked. They passed by a couple of female Mechwarriors as they talked, and one of them spoke out to them after they passed.
"You two make a beautiful couple! I can't wait for the wedding!" the shorter one said. Alex and Meria stopped walking and blushed greatly.
"You idiot! Those are the Khans!" her friend spat scornfully.
"No, no it's quite all right. I was actually hoping someone would say what they thought. Thanks." Meria said, her face blushing still.
"Oh, well then I think that we must be crazy to have accepted this offer when we would be leaded by a couple of teenagers. I mean, how good can you two be when the real battle begins huh? All of the clans and the Inner Sphere know of our treachery and are teaming up against us! What are you gonna do when they find out where we are huh? I'll tell you what! Hide! That's all you teenage Mechwarriors are good for, hiding and battle fodder!"
"Watch your tone bitch! I am Alexander Kerios! I challenge you to a Trial of Grievance! You and me, one on one, today. Get your Battlemech ready and armed and meet me at Nav Trial!" Alex said angrily. "I will teach you to insult Meria!" he added. The girl flinched and walked away, cursing under her breath.
"This, Meria, is your room. Or perhaps I should say, house. I built it all myself." Alex said pride fully. They walked into a room with brilliantly colorful walls that glowed with each and every color there.
"Oh my god! It's beautiful! The walls, they're pure crystal!" Meria said with awe clearly evident in her voice.
"Not only that, but the crystals give off a strange aura that heals wounds faster and sooths muscles. I would come here and rest for a day after each of my little covert missions to learn more about our history, as well as my own. I take it you like the place? It's now yours Meria. A sorta gift from me to you. I am afraid I must go now, founding a clan takes quite a bit of work energy and time. I will come back as soon as I get the chance, okay Meria? And by the way, I Love you." Alex said as he went out the door.
"He Loves me back! Oh yes! What an amazing day!" Meria said happily.
Alex left Meria's house and ran towards the main complex. He got a distress signal on his datapad saying that they were being invaded. "Meria! Get back to the main compound and bring a gun and something good for melee attacking! We're being invaded by Elementals! Come quickly!" Alex yelled into his communicator, calling for Meria to come out with her sniper rifle and her double-bladed sword. "All military personnel report to the front hallway heavily armed, we are under attack, this is no damn drill, get your fat asses up here now before we are killed!" he yelled into the intercom system. Alex drew his two scimitars and pushed the buttons that showed their true forms. The blades glow violet now. "Spawn of the Inner Sphere! DEATH COMES FOR YA! HAHAHA!" he bellowed into the intercom. Just as he put it away, three Elementals came barreling trough the door. "DIE!" Alex yelled, leaping ten feet and plunging his left scimitar into the closest Elemental's head, killing it instantly. "LEAVE THIS HALLOWED PLACE!" he screamed as he ran at the next foe, slicing him into several pieces. "NOW YOU ALL DIE!" he bellowed, his fury coming out in a myriad of lightning bolts emitting from the tips of his swords, frying the unfortunate elemental in seconds. Alex ran out the door, slicing a nearby Elemental as he ran.
"Alex!" came a cry near the entrance. Meria was surrounded by three Wolf clan Elementals, three from Jade Falcon, and three from the Inner Sphere.
"MERIA! GRRR, ALL WILL DIE NOW!" Alex screamed as he sprinted the hundred feet in seconds, his curved weapons screaming with his fury. Alex growled as he viciously hacked away at the nine attacking Elementals, the only things left after Alex's furious assault ended was scraps of scorched metal, blood, energy cores, and flesh. "Meria! Are you alright?" Alex said as he helped Meria back onto her feet.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Alex, you saved my life even though you could have died. I, I, I donno what to say."
"For now don't say anything, just worry about surviving this raid. Hreth is dead and we will need to appoint a new ChaKhan. Oh shit!" Alex said as he saw ten more Elementals surround him. "Sing with me Meria! Sing and destroy!" Alex said. He then began singing the song that he wrote and taught to Meria. She joined in and her attacks came faster and more accurate while Alex's became stronger and more precise. Together the couple killed off the remaining Elementals, only to find out that Battlemechs were storming the place above ground, trying to find a way to get in. "Meria, go to Puppy! But before you do, put the Youkai disc into the slot next to your bed! I will go into my own Elemental Battle Suit and try it out! We will meet wherever we can! GO NOW!" Alex yelled as he ran towards his Battlemech bay.
He quickly donned the Dark Elemental Battle Armor and stepped into the proton particle portal that he invented as a quick way in and out of the complex. As soon as the barrel was above ground, he aimed for the main engine core of the closest Dire Wolf, just outside of it's LRM20's range. "DEATH COMES FOR YA!" he screamed as he shot a thirty pound slug right into the main engine core, creating a chemical reaction that made the nuclear power source radioactive and violently unstable. All the pilot knew was flames as his body burst into fire, burning the inside of his cockpit. The heat generated was far too much on the heat sinks and the 'Mech exploded with violent force, taking out several enemy 'Mechs around it. Alex used the ensuing chaos to lock on to the nearest enemy with his LRM40 and blew away the fool, the extra 20 rockets smashing into the 'Mech behind it.
"YOU WANNA TAKE DOWN MY CLAN? YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU HAVE BEGUN FOOLS!" Alex screamed out his loudspeaker, calling Nethretor as it piloted the Vengeance Marauder. The two worked together, blasting and slicing, rocketing and sniping. Many Dark Star Mechwarriors simply stood back and watched as the Khan and his cybernetic Mechwarrior fought and obliterated. Many would describe it as 'a Trial of Annihilation only against an entire clan'. Soon the enemy warriors began to flee, but they found no way of getting off the planet because Youkai had destroyed all the enemy dropships, laughing maniacally as she shot her thousands of Pulse Projected Particle Cannons. All around the battlefield, Battlemechs and Elementals exploded as they were pumped with thousands of lasers, PPC shots, PPPC shots, and missiles. "The battle is ours! Charge Dark Stars! Charge and show the universe your power!" Meria yelled as she joined in.
The battle only lasted an hour after that point, but the cleanup lasted several months. Many Dark caste members were following the example made by the two young warriors. Twelve new clans were made, weakening each clan considerably. No person left the Dark Star clan however, for they knew that victory lay within the hands of the two capable young Mechwarriors and their cybernetic companions.
Many more months passed without combat or dissension. Then, the Dark Star clan began it's campaign for Terra, each Mechwarrior using a custom made Battlemech with completely customized weaponry. The two cybernetic beings commanded the Terran Assault Force, or the TAF. The Dark Star clan began its journey with the Dark Knight clan, striking first the desert mining planet of Trior.
Alex and Nethretor, in the Vengeance Marauder, circled around the left side of the Wolf Power Converter complex, while Meria and Youkai, in Puppy, circled around the right. When they both reached their breach positions, they gave the signal, the beginning of the song that they all played together, Terra. Singing along, each Mechwarrior arose out of the sand dunes, shaking off the sand and running towards the base, blasting wildly as they closed in. "Death comes for ya!"
"I'm gonna kill you DEAD!" screamed the two Khans as their missiles streaked towards the enemy's nuclear power plant. All of a sudden the temperature indicators on the Dark Star 'Mechs went critical, automatic shutdown commencing.
"BOOM BABY!" Alex and Meria yelled at once, their voices being lost in the booming explosion of the power plant and the Battlemechs surrounding it. There rose a pillar of flames from the ground, and the sand below and around it instantly turned to glass.
"This planet will be ours Wolf Khan!" Alex yelled, his voice booming across the desert plains.
"I thought you said that if I defected to another clan I would die! Ha! You are a fool Harredir!" Meria yelled, her voice carrying all the way to the Wolf communications tent, making her voice a message to the Wolf complex on Jrebera. Little did the assault group know that there was a Jade Falcon nearby, spying on their every move.
