Thanks for all the reviews!
Note: Lacus does use white magic but not all her "healing powers" do. And about her relationship with Kira, it would be made clearer in the nest few chapters.
Notes: Xtended is like in destiny the Alliance Extended but I just changed the spelling to make it have a little twist.

Chapter 2 – Battle
"Master, we have found the prince and the princess" a voice said
Two dark eyes opened and looked at the creature bowing to him
"Where are they?" the king asked hoarsely
"They went down into some sort of dark pit in the Garden of Eden" the voice answered "It seems that there is a hidden lake called Eve there" he added
-----------------------------------------------------------
Carrin soon saw streaks of light seeping through the cold darkness, and soon she flew out a vast field. A field unlike the one she just has seen, the scent of wildflowers filled the air and fresh dew made the grass fresh.
The crystal blue lake shimmers as the soft rays of the once sun striked it. How she wished everything above was like this, so beautiful and peaceful.
"Carrin" she heard someone call, snapping from her thoughts she turned and faced the owner of the voice which was her brother.
"Are you alright?" Athrun asked
Carrin's pale green eyes looked back at the lake for a little while and said "I'm fine"
Athrun nodded and faced Kira who was walking towards a small cottage like house.
Cagalli made sure the door was locked and that there was no one was at sight. She closed the small windows and walked towards the table located at the center of the small house.
"I have a feeling that intruders would come" Cagalli whispered when she reached the table.
"Then let's get this over with" Lacus smiled as she got a piece of parchment under the table and opened it. Revealing an ancient manuscript, the letterings in metallic gold slightly rusted and the sides of the paper was burned.
"What's this?" Carrin asked as she traced the outlines of the gold letterings
"This is the prophecy of Light and Dark" Kira answered "But sadly the second part of this manuscript was scorched" he added
"What does it say?" asked Athrun as he tried to make out the wordings written in an ancient language
"The balance of Light and Dark" Cagalli started "When the darkness of Gaia comes, an everlasting war shall occur" she read
"Hands shall be forever stained by crimson blood" Carrin read the next phrase, her eyes becoming hazy "And hearts shall be tainted with black ink"
"Carrin" Athrun softly called as he watched his sister read the last lines of the ancient script
"The light shall die unless hope will once again live in the dark world, and angels of both dark and light will descend upon the dark fire"
Carrin's eyes became pale green again, the cloudy haze gone. "A puzzle" she concluded
Lacus nodded and said "This was said to come from Odin, he wrote this on the night before Pentecost and hid it when the spirit of death passed Gaia"
"He wrote this because a certain time traveler has seen the future of Gaia and since Odin liked this place he had to make sure that even though evil and darkness will rise, Gaia will become a fruitful world once again" Cagalli added
"And didn't you know that Gaia was once ruled by mortal bugs?" a smugly voice asked
The five hastily stopped their discussion and turned to their unwanted guest, a boy around his pre-teen years stood in front of them. His hand bonded with heavy metal and his face was covered by the black cloak he was wearing.
Lacus rolled the manuscript and gathered it in her arms protectively, "We can't let them have this" she whispered to Kira who stood in front of her, protecting her.
Cagalli was standing beside Kira and Athrun beside Cagalli, making sure that no one would hurt the princess of Eternal.
Carrin stayed beside Lacus, making sure that no one would get near the manuscript.
"Who are you?" Cagalli angrily asked
"Names aren't important now is it?" the boy answered, an ignorant smile on his face. He slightly advanced to Cagalli
Now Athrun stood in front of her "Go away" he warned, his eyes filled with protection
"Athrun" Cagalli softly whispered "Athrun was protecting her" she thought happily, her heart suddenly swelled with unknown love and emotions.
"No need to get so angry prince of Genesis" the boy just continued to smile
"What do you need?" Carrin asked, her eyes flaring with anger. She knew him, that boy is from Genesis and she knew that Athrun also recognized him.
The boy was one of their father's toys, a Xtended. They were homeless vampires who had special genes, their father took care of them and they were happy until they were plunged into some kind of chemical substance which made their organs become abnormal.
They were dangerous especially those wearing black cloaks they were called the specimen X – active black.
"I have come here by order of the King" he told them "To kill you all!" he added as he suddenly disappeared into the air.
"Watch out!" screamed Athrun as he sensed that the boy was going to attack Lacus.
Carrin reacted fast enough to block Lacus from the attack; she winced as she felt the cold steel cut through her skin.
Carrin fell on the ground while Athrun stretched his hand and a black ball of energy emerged from his palm as purple streaks surrounded it.
He started to chant a spell "… darkness come to my heed, bring me your power and destroy my enemy…"
Athrun then saw a flash of movement; he threw the dark energy ball at the boy.
The boy screamed and hit the wall as smoke from the sudden impact covered him.
"Is it over?" Lacus asked
"No" Carrin answered as she tried to get up holding her wounded arm. She turned to Athrun "You could have used a higher ranking magic to kill him" she told him as Lacus ran towards her.
"Let me see your wound" she told Carrin as she looked at the big gash
Lacus got a small bottle of healing vial and some herbs to wrap around Carrin's hand
"Not so fast!" the boy's voice said as he became visible again
"You!" Cagalli angrily pointed her finger on his as a ball of flame appeared on the tip of her finger. Cagalli slightly jerked her finger as if she was shooting without a gun. Tiny balls of flame began shooting at the boy as the Xtended dodged some of them.
Lacus continued to heal Carrin's arm as Kira and Athrun fended of the lower ranking Xtendeds that came with the boy in a black cloak.
"Damn" Athrun muttered as he summoned his sword and sliced through the creatures attacking them.
"Thanks" Carrin told Lacus who smiled in response
The youngest Zala rubbed her arm as she began to shoot shadow arrows from her fourth finger.
"Help Cagalli!" Athrun told his sister who nodded and obliged
Carrin ran towards Cagalli who was trying to block the boy's attack
"Cagalli!" Carrin called as she shot her arrows at the boy
Carrin stretched out her arms chanted a spell "…Come to my heed!" she said as a void black hole opened between her arms and two red eyes appeared in it.
The boy and the other creatures were drawn and killed as they were sucked into the black hole.
Carrin and Cagalli dropped to the floor and panted heavily as Kira and Athrun finished the last of the enemies that didn't go in the black hole.
"Are you alright?" Athrun asked stretching a helping hand
Cagalli smiled and took the hand and pulled herself up as Carrin did the same thing
"What were those?" Lacus asked
Athrun and Carrin's face fell "Those were from Genesis" they both answered in unison, shame clearly etched upon their faces.
"They are called Xtended" Athrun informed his companions "Our father's experiments" he added quietly.
Cagalli, sensing the cold unwanted atmosphere quickly changed the subject.
"I guess now they know about the prophecy" she told them as she picked up a transmitter she found on the floor beside where she was standing.
"So what are we going to do?" Athrun asked
"We are going to solve this puzzle"

A/N: Okay I'm not got in fighting scenes but I guess that was okay, just drop a review and include your suggestions and comments! And sorry if the fighting scene wasn't too clear, I don't usually make fighting scenes...
The story is still quite confusing but the flashbacks would make the story clearer so stay stunned!
This might be my last update for a while cause my computer broke down and I can't access my documents
