Destiny of the Earthmates
Chapter 2
"Let's Meet the Earthmates."
"Sir!" a commander walked up to the King of Norad, "We have identified the whereabouts of another Earthmate withing our realms.."
"Excellent." The King responded, "What is his or her name, Commander Viscen?"
"The name of this subject is..." Viscen responded, "Aden of the Island of Fennith... Not to far from our shores."
"Neither from the shores of the Sechs.." the King responded as he looked at the map Viscen opened, "We must acquire him before our friends do. Is the program going along nicely?"
"The Black Moon Program is going on greatly." Viscen chuckled, "But we do need the Earthmates for it."
"Then gather some Noradian Marines to seize this Aden fellow," the King ordered, "Let them make sure no one knows or about it... Make him.. go away..."
"Aye, sire!" Viscen said and retreated.

"Great Emperor!" another commander, this time of the Sechs, fell postrate to a figure on a throne,
"Arise Commander Lison." the Emperor said and revealed his face, Ethelberd the Great of the Sechs,
"We have captured an Earthmate!" Lison responded as a group of soldiers dragged a figure inside the throne, it was a red headed child.
"Ah..." Ethelberd said, "Child... Come here."
"I want my mommy!" the Earthmate cried, "Leave me alone!"
"Oh Child.." Ethelberd grabbed the child's chin, "What is his name, Lison?"
"The Child's name is Kyle." Lison responded,
"Alas sire!" the leader of the soldiers said, "Taking the child cost the lives of two civilians... I.e, the child's orphan parents."
"A sacrifice I am willing to make." Ethelberd said, "Take the child to the Black Eclipse Facility... He will be a specimen of Sechs ingenuity and glory."
"NO!" Kyle screamed as the soldiers dragged him away.
"My Black Dragoon Squad." Ethelberd said as he reffered to the soldiers who captured Kyle, "You have established your reputation as the most elite of my forces..."
"We are armed with the foremost weaponry as is the Emperor's blessing." the leader said, "These handgonnes are the apotheosis of the Sechs genius."
"Then go to Fennith Island." Ethelberd said, "There is an Earthmate there according to Noradian records stolen..."
"Will do, great one!" the leader said and his squad of 5 men departed.

"Ah..." a certain brunette Earthmate yawned as he woke from bead, "What a nice day.." he looked out the window.
"It sure is." a sweet voice called to him, "Beloved Raguna, I'm so glad you're awake."
"I am too, Iris..." Raguna said as he sat up, "With you as my wife... Everyday is a day worth waking up to."
"That is so sweet, beloved." Iris (Noire) smiled, "I hope that we get to see many mornings then, together."
"Well, knowing a vampire's lifespan is who knows how long.." Raguna rubbed the back of his head, "And I don't know how long an Earthmate's is... but yea... I guess we are going to be able to see a lot then."
"I hope we our child gets in on it too.." Iris smiled, making Raguna's eyes shoot open in shock.
"What!?" Raguna stood up, "What?!"
"Beloved..." Iris blushed, "I am with child... Your child."
"Are you serious!?" Raguna cheered, "Alright! This is the best day of my life! Ha ha!" he hugged Iris, "The first!"
"The truth that vampires do have a chance in the world." Iris smiled, "Though in not be a pure blooded one... a hybrid vampire will do just enough to convince people."
"Iris... Oh... I love you so much right now..." Raguna hugged her tighter, "You make me the happiest man alive..."
"And you make me the happiest woman alive." Iris responded, "I am so glad I married such a man as you."

"Alright Marines." a voice told a small group of dark figures as their small boat made landfall on the island of Fennith, using the cover of night to their advantage, "Our objective resides on a house near the eastern coast of this island. Our mission is to retrieve to the target with minimal disruption to the local populous... Got that marines?"
"Aye sir!" one of them responded, "ETA?"
"This shouldn't take long Private Camus." the sergeant responded as he stepped of the boat, the moonlight revealing the face of the Kardian youth, "Alright, I want Lt. Gine to go with Pvt. Camus and take the Alpha quadrant, me, Colonel Cyrax and Pvt. Jiles will take the target and we will regroup at the docks to meet a navy scout ship."
"Alright." the soldiers responded and dashed up the coast.

"This is it." another force landed on the beach, "The Earthmate is on this island. Our mission is to retrieve him, with force if necessary." the leader instructed, "The Sechs Emperor depends on us, men!"
"Alright." a soldier responded as he loaded a handgonne,
"Alpha takes the route up the church, Beta takes the route through the market to the objectives abode." the leader added, "We are the most elite of the Sechs forces, granted the foremost of Sechs technology to helps us... Let us make the name for ourselves, Dragoon Force!" he picked up his handgonne,
"Hoorah!" his soldiers said and they too left their craft.

"Hm..." a gray haired girl said as she patrolled around the Coquille manor, "Something's not right.." she drew her blade,
"We have and opfor." a voice whispered,
"Hey!" the girl said as she spotted movement, "Stop right there!"
"Throwing a flash ball!" another voice yelled and a white little ball rolled up to the girl,
"What t-AHH!" the girl screamed as a flashing white light blinded her,
"Hooph!" a Dragoon force soldier jumped over a bush and quickly tackled the girl down,
"Stop! I am Mikoto! A warrior!" Mikoto yelled in anger as the soldier tied her up, "Face me like men!"
"Shut up!" another soldier put a gag on her, making her screams nothing more than muffles,
"Let's go!" the other soldier told his companion and the all four continued moving.
000000000
"Marines." the Sergeant told his group, "We're closing in on the target's home, now remember, make it as stealthy as possible... the neighbors will become alarmed if there is any loud commotion."

"This sucks." Camus grumbled as he and Lt. Gine scouted the area, "I wanted to do the breech, the other Private got to do it."
"He's been in this force longer than you son." Gine responded, "And our mission is equally vital, we are on lookou-" he raised his head in alert, as he saw activity.
"We have Marines!" a hoarse voice yelled and a quick flash of light followed it,
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Ah!" Gine hid behind a cart as the iron balls flew past them,
"Damn!" Camus hid behind a building,
"Fire!" a Dragoon Force member said and fired his handgonne,
"Take this!" Gine popped out and fired his crossbow, but not dealing any blows.
"Ha!" Camus also appeared and fired, but no shots as well.
"Rah!" the four members of the opposing Dragoons charged with swords.
"Woah!" Gine said as one of them jumped over the cart in front of him, he lifted his crossbow to fire.
"Hah!" the soldier kicked the weapon out of his hand, "Take this!" he struck with his shortsword.
"Pff!" Gine scoffed as he avoided the attack and pulled out his own blade, "Let us fight!"
"Very well!" the soldiers said and the two started to duel.

"Shh..." the Sergeant said as they crept up the stairs up Aden's home, "3...2... 1..."
POOMPF! Jiles kicked the door, and the three stormed in, causing a panic inside.
"What!?" Aden shot up from bed and looked at the intruders, "Hey! Who are you!?"
"Aden?"
"It's him!" Cyrax said as a strange device on his hand beeped loudly,
"We're here to save you!" the Sergeant said, "Come with us!"
"No! Get out of my house!" Aden stood up and reached for his spear,
"Aden!?" Sonja screamed as she saw the menace, "Who are they!?"
"Don't you reach for that!" Cyrax aimed his crossbow at Aden,
"Seize him!" the Sergeant ordered, and Jiles ran up to tackle Aden.
"HEY!" Aden yelled as he was being manhandled,
"Get off of him!" Sonja tried to punch the Marine off,
"Sir!" Cyrax said, "The woman is an Earthmate to!" he looked at his device,
"Impossible!" the Sergeant said, "A two in one?!"
"What is this about!?" Aden yelled, "What do you want with us."
"Aden!" Sonja screamed as Cyrax tackled her,
"You dirty rat!" Aden roared, "Get off of her! Get off of my wife!"
"Woah!" Jiles said as Aden started to break free of his grip, "DAH!" he gave the Earthmate a nice clean blow to the back of the head with the butt of his crossbow.
"Ah..." Aden started to fall to his knees.
"Please, leave him alone!" Sonja cried as she was being tied up as well.
"Homph!" Cyrax strained as he threw Sonja over his shoulder,
"Hyah!" Jiles did the same thing,
"Mission complete." the Sergeant said, "Let's regroup." he said and led his soldiers outside.
"HUH!?"
"WHAT!?"
The Dragoon Force that was to seize Aden bumped into the Marines as they were barely exiting the door.
"That's our Earthmate!" the Leader told the Sergeant,
"We got him fair and square!" the Sergeant responded and sheathed his blade,
The Dragoon force aimed their handgonnes.
"Oh crap..." Jiles said,
"You're move." the Leader chuckled,
"Please... Let... us go..." Sonja cried, "Please..."
"You heard her." the Sergeant said, making the two Marines look at each other in confusion.
"You sure, sir?" Cyrax asked,
"Do it." the Sergeant responded, and the two soldiers reluctantly placed the Earthmates down.
"That's a wise choice." the Leader smirked, "Guess we'll get them and be on our way..."
"Sure..." the Sergeant turned his back and winked at his Marines, who nodded.
"Hah!" Cyrax quickled grabbed his crossbow and fired.
"Dwah!" one of the soldiers yelled as one of the bolts struck him, knocking to poor man over the stairs.
"Fire!" the Leader yelled and the other members fired their handgonnes... However, out of the 3, only one managed to shoot.
"Argh!" Jiles was struck in the lower abdomen by the iron ball, "Augh..."
"Jiles!" the Sarge said and ducked under a table,
"Hah!" one of the Dragoon soldiers gave a good ol' knock on his handgonne, making it fire.
SPLAT! The iron ball made a direct headshot to Cyrax, who fell down instantly.
"Argh..." Jiles rolled in pain,
"Take this!" a soldiers finished the marine off with a stab through the chest,
all the attention now turned to the Sarge.
"I am ready to face my death as a soldier." the Sarge stood up straight, waiting his end,
"Then you will die as a soldier." the Leader said and turned to his men, who loaded their handgonnes.
"I am grateful." the Sarge said as a tear fell from his eye, "To die with honor! That is the Marine Code!"
"Men!" the Leader ordered, "Prepare arms!"
The Force soldiers raised their weapons,
"FIRE!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Sarge's body fell.

"We have them." the Leader said as his force regrouped, having the two Earthmates in their possession, "The Marines have been eliminated."
"Aye sir." a soldier came up, "We met two by the manor, they have been dealt with."
"Let us go.. Our weapons have caused too much sound." the Leader said as he saw the lights of the houses of Aden's neighbors flash on.

"Augh..." a voice groaned, it was Camus, who rolled in pain,
"Is there anybody here!?" a rasp voice called out,
"Over... Here..." Camus responded weakly, and near instantly a huge tan man loomed over him,
"My name's Bachus, son." the man responded, "Are you alright!?" he said in worry as he saw the young man's wounds.
"I'm great.." Camus sarcastically answered, and the sailor helped him up,
"Ha ha.." Bachus grumbled, "Were you with them?" he asked and pointed to the bodies of the other Marines.
"No..." Camus said in sorrow, "NO!" he fell to his knees and cried.
