Chapter Three: The Thief and The Menodix.

"C'mon now get in the pod…" Said the young mother as she ushered her twin daughter and son into the emergency pod. Red lights then light up the corridor. Various explosions could be heard "Warning! Warning! Shield collapse." Echoed throughout the dangerously shaking ship. "Mother… what's going to happen?" The son called up to his teary eyed mother. "Don't worry everything's going to be fine. Just stay close to your sister always. I love you both!" "Mother!" Then the door was closed shut and sealed. The pod entered space moments later.

"What's going to happen to us?"

"I don't know…lets just pray we get to a safe spot."

"Will mommy find us then?"

The young boy looked down. Then there was a huge explosion that rocked the pod causing the twins to hit into everything. The computer was smashed by the time the spinning had stopped. The young boy tried his hardest to fix the compute. About a day later the young boy had managed to get the computer to barely work. Then there was another explosion. "Warning! Warning! Engine blow out! Prepare for crash landing on Ellicore 11!" The computer read before turning to fuzz. Time seemed to stop at the sound of denting and tearing metal filled the air. The young boy opened his eyes. Smoke filled the whole pod followed by a small explosion. He along with his unconscious sister had various cuts and scrapes. He quickly began working on getting his sister and him out. Finally he wrenched opened the sealed door. Snow lightly fell around him covering the soil in endless white. He quickly grabbed his unconscious sister and fell from the pod. He landed on his side on the cold blanket of snow cuddling his sister close to him in hopes that they would be found.

There was a quick yank then the sound of someone being thrown onto the ground. "Hey are you alive?" Someone called. The thief opened his mismatched eyes blinking at the beaming sun above him. "Haven't had that dream in a while…" He looked around at the field like scenery. There was a small shuffling sound above him. He slowly moved his head up ward. There he found a pair of big brown eyes.

"AHHHH!"

"AHHHHH!"

The man jumped up and pulled both daggers as a yellow green and brown steak went running for Suferio. "What the hell was that?" The thief said out loud. "I'm on the Sanmite Steppe…" Then he slowly put his weapons away then looked at himself. He was completely wet. He reached up seeing as he was missing his mask. Slowly he sighed then noticed those same brown eyes peering at him from behind a tree. The thief blinked then took a step forward. "I guess you pulled me from the water?" The thief called. "Yes I did. You own me big time!" Said the owner of those brown eyes. Then hoped out the Menodix know as Roger S. Huxley. "How did you get in there? And survive unconscious no doubt?" Roger asked creeping slowly over to the thief.

"Long story made short. I jumped off Aquios' bridge." The thief replied now searching for the mask that once covered his face. "Why would you do something like that? That's stupid." Roger said leaning against a tree. "I mean what kind of an idiot goes and jumps off the Moonlit Bridge?" Roger added with a cocky smirk. "I didn't have a choice…" The thief muttered finally finding his mask clinging for life from and overgrown bush by the water. He stood tying around his neck. "What are you doing? Do you think you're a thief or something?" Roger asked standing up straight. The thief smirked. "Well yeah." He said spinning Rogers ax on the tip of his index finger.

"Wha! Hey! Give it back!" Roger said running up to the thief and jumping for his ax. "Why?" The thief k teased while backing away as Roger tailed him. "Give it back!" Roger yelled. Then he was scooped up into a hug. Roger stared in shock. "Your cute." The thief said as he held him. "Hey! Put me down! Do you have any idea who you're messing with here?" Roger asked his tail beating back and forth. "Yeah. I'm hugging a cute little Menodix who thinks he all that. But is a real softy underneath all the tough exterior." The thief giggled then continuing to hold him. "I…but…. oh…" Roger muttered then let himself lie in the arms of the thief. "Hey!" Roger said sounding amazed. "You're a…" He began. Then two other Menodix's came running up. "Hey put Roger down!" The one know as Melt yelled waving his fist frantically in the air.

"Yeah!" The one know as Dribe also yelled. "Oh there's more of you then." The thief said watching them scurry over. "What have you been living under a rock?" Roger asked. "I guess in a way." The thief said. "Put him down now!" Both Dribe and Melt screamed. "No guys it's ok!" Roger called but then slipped from the thief's grip and was then on the ground. "As you all wish." The thief said. Roger blinked then turned around but he wasn't anywhere in sight. "Hey…where'd…she go?" Roger asked staring into the distance.

Albel walked around the Airyglyph castle muttering to himself. "Albel?" Arzei called to him. Albel glared over his shoulder. Arzei smiled. "I thought I'd find you skulking around. Still mad are you?" He asked. "Hmph. Mad? Don't make me laugh!" Albel said turning towards the King. "Well I have something interesting to tell you." Arzei said. "Well?" Albel snapped. "It seems as though our thief was in Aquios last night. Apparently took the key I left in Romeria's hands to protect. But got a good beating doing so." Arzei said walking to a window. "Really? Finally messed with the wrong people did he? So I'll find him around Aquios then?" Albel asked smirking. "Unfortunately no ones sure. Nel was the one that stayed on him most of the time but she said he jumped off the bridge." Arzei replied. When he turned Albel was gone from where he stood. "I hate it when he dose that…"

"So what are these exactly?"

"Well their given names are Destroyers Of Time. Kind of strange huh? They've been down here for who knows how long. But none of them are alive. The power to the gestation tubes was cut some time ago."

"Really, so none of them survived?"

"Yes Sir. Well…. there was one male that's heart was still beating."

"And?"

"Well as you can see he's still with us. But he needed some intensive work."

The young boy pointed to the gestation tube where another man was curled up in his wings draped I chains. He looked to be sleeping. The lab worker looked to the man next to him who was smiling. "Well hello there." He said staring at the boy. Then he gave a sideways look to the lab worker. "Will he wake up soon?" He asked. The lab worker ran his hand through his mane of hair looking at the chart in his hand. "Well sooner then you think sir." Then he looked up the clear glass to the boy. His body twitched then he slowly opened his eyes. Then uncurled himself at the site of the man next to the worker. The man smiled. "Hello." He said. "Are you ready to come out?" He added.

The boy slowly placed his hands on the glass, which then shattered.

Ok here's the next chapter. Yeah I know it kind of sucks. I had writers block so I just went with what I was writing down. So um yeah now that I got the scene in that I wanted, it doesn't quite fit there dose it? Well twist and turns that's what supposed to happen in stories right? Anyway I'll be hoping for reviews and I'll update soon.
