Visions of Truth
Chapter 1
The Cloaked Figure
December 9, 2025
Z and the others were planning an offensive on Grumm's Ship as it came closer to Earth. They all knew that they might fail and if they did that would leave Earth at Grumm's non-existent mercy. However, if they succeeded, they could win the war. The war had been going on for several months, but now it would end one way or another. Win or lose, victory or defeat, it would be now and this would be the decisive battle, the one that would decide the fate of Earth.
The grim look on her face was reflected on the faces of everyone else, they all knew this was the final battle, and Death lurked ever so close today. Commander Cruger went over the battle plans, Dr. Manx went over schematics. They all trained very diligently. Finally the time had come. Sam and Commander Cruger stayed behind to protect the world. It was up to B- Squad and B- Squad alone to end Grumm's reign.
Each of them morphed and climbed into their SWAT flyer. They launched one after another. There was no joking, no side conversations. Other times, they had feared, but never like this. Even Sky and Jack were sweating in fear. Bridge made no confusing comments, indeed none at all. Syd made no complaints about lighting and other absurd stuff. Except for the reporting in to Cadet Command, it was a quiet ride. There was a good chance someone could die today, higher than ever before.
"Cadet Command, this is Squad Leader Landors Reporting in, Ten-Four." "Cadet Landors this is Cadet Command. What is your status? Ten-Four." "Cadet Command, this is Landors, B-Squad is coming into Radio Range of target. Ten- Four." "Ten-Four. Commence Radio Silence now." "Ten-Four.
Up ahead was Grumm ship, and any moment now, they would dock, or so Z thought. Suddenly a hand grabbed her shoulder, which was impossible in the small cockpit of her SWAT Flyer. She bit back a yelp and looked up to see a cloaked figure. The figure held her with one hand, and with the other hand pulled back its hood. Later Z would not remember that face under the hood of the cloak, or why she had started screaming at the top of her lungs, so long and so hard that she blacked out from fear.
Hearing Z's scream, the others nearly panicked. They called and called to her, long after she stopped screaming, but there was no answer. Her flyer began to drift. Syd finally pulled it together and locked the two flyers together. She then boarded the ship, and found to her horror, a scene of struggle, and the impossible fact that Z had vanished. She then, intentionally told the others to go on and finish the mission, without telling them what happened. They did so, managing to arrest Grumm, Mora and Broodwing, and rescue the A- Squad (why where they there, they didn't know). On the way, home, Syd expained what happened. Back at the Base an investigation was started and ended a year later, declaring Z dead.
