Author: I gotta start getting online more. And my other computer's power supply is fried so it's gonna take a while to get those files outta there. Oh well, no use complaining. Back to the story!

"Amazing! This place far outdoes any tale I have ever heard about it! But it is still hard to believe that we've won. Terra, this beautiful planet, is free, as are we. No more so-called Trueborns, only those born of Love. Alex, I Love you." Meria said in a quiet yet joyful tone.

"I Love you too Meria. And yes, this place is far greater then it was said to be. Come, we have a planet to resettle. We should be able to take some of the old cities and repair them, bring them back to where they were before. The climate is great, and the wildlife are amazing. There are every kind of animal for which the original clans were named, with the obvious exception of Blood Spirit. Come, I would like to be alone with you." Alex responded, his long black hair hiding one of his eyes. In his other eye, happiness, peace, Love, and innocence could be seen, despite the insane amount of people he had killed. All the Freeborn clan members had joined the Dark Star, his only opponents were Trueborn.

"Alright, we shouldn't be heard over in that strangely decorated building. Come on!" Meria said, her face as bright as the sun.

The couple walked into the chapel, not realizing what it was used for. Alex brought Meria to the furthest place from the door in that room. "Meria, I, er, well, I was wondering if, ah fuck it! Meria, will-"

"Wake up Meria! Wake up!" came a familiar voice through the intercom system.

"What is it Youkai?" Meria said, her agitation showing on her face.

"I've picked up well over a hundred Jumpships above the planet's atmosphere. Their landing! We need to get off of this planet!" she said quickly, her voice beginning to face as the power was being restricted.

"No we most certainly do not! Youkai! Run program Jump Obliteration. That should take out the majority of Jumpships, the rest our defense turrets and us will take care of. Come on Meria, time to go!" Alex said as he burst into the room. He ran out as quickly as he came in, realizing that he was still in his bedclothes as well. His exclamations of stupid and what the Hell was I thinking echoing through the hall.

"Start up the defensive turrets Youkai, I'm going into Puppy! I'll meet ya there!" Meria exclaimed as she pulled on her battle garments, a reinforced leather vest and comfortable jeans. She ran out into her Warmech garage, strapping the neural helmet onto her vest and grabbing the joysticks fiercely. "You wanna interrupt one of the best damn dreams I've ever had? SAYONARA SHITHEADS!" she yelled, her rage building. She switched to full group fire, a very dangerous mode. Running at full speed, Puppy and her traversed immense distances in little time.

"You look pissed. What's up?" Youkai said nervously.

"They want to interrupt the best damn dream that I have ever had, I'm gonna tear them apart, limb by damned limb!" Meria said, more to herself then to Youkai.

"Right. Well, they are five hundred kilometers to the south, seven hundred to the east, four hundred to the west, and six hundred to the north. What do you want to do Meria?" Youkai said calmly.

"Me? I'm gonna take some troops and make an ambush. There are plenty of places where that is possible, especially since there are volcanic vents near it so heat tracking sensors will not see us. We will spring outwards, devastating them from behind. They won't know what hit 'em!" Meria replied darkly.
