Chapter Two
Black Beetle stalked through the halls until he made it to the Command Room. His red eyes were narrowed in distaste, he was called by the Ambassador a few minutes ago and he had taken his time in coming to the beckon call.
Black entered the room and glared at the green shelled Reach while walking toward him.
"You needed something" the muscular Beetle snarled.
"Watch your tone Soldier" the giant humanoid centipede ordered, "I need you to get Blue Beetle to lower his armour so that we can scan him and see if he is in any of our data bases from different planets, than bring him here"
The giant Beetle blinked in surprise before frowning, "why do you-"
"That is None of Your Business" the green Reach snapped.
Black Beetle glared and turned before leaving the room. He activated his jetpack once he was out of the ship and flew to the Kent's Barn.
The oldest Beetle landed and hid, he watched as the heroes of this planet trained and cared for their land.
'Why does the Reach have to destroy the life of many others?' he frowned when he saw his On Mode brother talking to the one called Nightwing.
His eyes landed on his target, the Reject Scarab and its Host seemed to be arguing over something.
'I'll strike tonight' Solis decided and watched the heroes the rest of the day.
Once everyone was asleep, Black Beetle watched and waited for the right time. Around midnight, the Beetle was about to make his move when a boy with dark hair, chocolate colored eyes and cinnamon colored skin emerged from the barn.
The older male didn't recognize the boy at all, he wasn't with the heroes when they trained, and he wasn't with the humans as they attended to their farms.
'This must be Blue Beetle' Solis frowned and sent visual to the Mothership.
Black followed the boy silently and frowned when the child activated his armour.
'So, it is Blue Beetle'
The male stood, aimed his cannon and fired at the boy.
The blast hit the younger and he collapsed, his Scarab was offline and the armour disappeared.
Black knelt, picked the boy up and was about to take off back to the Reach ship when something slammed into his side.
"LET HIM GO!"
The oldest of the three brothers looked down and saw a boy, no older than Emiaj was when they shot him into space, with brown-red hair, green eyes and pale skin.
"YOU'RE NOT TAKING HIM!"
Black blinked at the boy and turned off his visual before turning and placing the child back on the ground. The boy looked surprised at this but quickly recovered and ran to the cinnamon skinned boy, not taking his eyes off the Beetle that towered over him.
"He will awaken soon" Solis said before turning and jetpacking away.
Bart stared after the BLACK BEETLE in shock.
