Destiny of the Earthmates
"The Visitors"
Chapter 11
"How are we going to find the facility?" Mikoto asked Camus in private, "We don't know where it is..."
"You said it yourself..." Camus responded, "Ragu
na and Ivan will lead us where to go."
"And what would we do if we reach it?" Mikoto continued,
"We will raid it." Camus said, "We must not let any evil come out of there..."
"But... Won't you get hurt?" Mikoto mumbled,
"Huh?" Camus turned,
"Nothing!" Mikoto shut herself up, "Let's go!"

"I sense nothing..." Ivan sighed as he tried to locate a Rune Signature,
"Try harder." Sgt. Wilkes pushed, "You're bound to find something..."
"Hey.." Raguna said, "What if Gilbert is looking for us? Maybe that's why he tried to control us!"
"So?"
"So if he wants us... He'll put out a signal for sure!" Raguna said, "Come on! I'll help you!" he said and also concentrated,
"Hm.." Ivan growled as he became more tense by the minute,
"Ah..." Raguna said, straining,
"AH HA!" Ivan said in discovery, "Over there!" he pointed to a nearby mountain ridge, "I sense it! Over there!"
"I do too!" Raguna added, "It must be secluded in those mounts!"
"Then that's where we'll go." Mikoto said,
"To find my child." Iris mumbled as they continued on their way.

"Alright.." the Marine leader gathered his troops in front of the large castle, "The King is inside this castle, our job is to check out what went wrong and to retrieve him if necessary! Do we have that, marines!?"
"Yes sir!" the soldiers said,
"Alright, I need three groups to investigate first! Alpha, Delta, and Gamma!" he called out, "You're the first to go in! You have your wizards, contact us if you see anything!" he ordered,
"Aye, sir!" the select men responded, then divided into groups and entered the castle.

"Hold up..." Lt. Kings said as he stopped to rest, "I don't have the super Earthmate abilities you do."
"I know." Raguna turned to him, "But we can't stop..."
"We have to continue!" Ivan cheered the non-Earthmates up,
"AH!" Iris screamed and fell to the ground, shocking everyone, especially Raguna,
"What?!"
"My baby!" Iris cried, "I can hear him screaming!" she yelled, "He's alone! So alone!"
"They must have hooked the baby up or something." Ivan mumbled, "He's part of the Earthmate system now."
"No." Raguna said, "Vampires could already naturally communicate telepathically.. I learned that when she was separate... We must be close..."
"That's a good sign.." Sgt. Wilkes grumbled,
"Why do they do this to him..." Iris cried and fell in tears, "Why, Beloved?" she looked up to Raguna,
"I don't know." Raguna said, "But we will get him back..." he helped her up.

"Help! Help!" the sounds of marines and sword clashes resonated through a magic crystal ball in the Marine leader's tent,
"What in the world?" the Marine Leader said as he caught glimpses of the Pseudo Earthmates running in extreme speed,
"AUGH!" the Marines fell left and right, but some did manage to take down one,
"ARGH!" the wizard transmitting the message was struck, and the line cut off.
"That was team Alpha." a Marine general said and crossed out the name of the said team, Team Gamma was crossed out as well.
"Try team Delta." the Marine Leader told his wizard, who nodded and moved his hands around the crystal ball.
"Sir!" a voice called back, it was the leader of the Delta Squad,
"Marine Report!" The Great Marine Leader ordered,
"We don't know what's going on, sir!" the leader responded, "We see shadows in the dark, but we can't make out what they are!"
"Stay on high alert!" the Great Leader advised, "We don't know what's in there, but its dangerous!"
"Sir, What happened to team Alpha and Gamma?" the leader asked, "We lost all comms!"
"They're still there.." the Great Leader lied, trying to keep his men's hopes up, "Just a little magic flux... That's all."
"Alright, sir." the leader responded, "Delta squad out.." the ball returned to normal.
"Send in all we have." the Great Marine Leader said, "We're going in with full force!"
"Aye, sir!" his leaders responded and all ran off to his squad,
"You should stay here sir with two squads." a leader advised, "For communications sake.."
"Alright." the Great Leader said, "Go!"

"Sh..." a Delta Squad marine told his comrade as they walked down the dimly lit hallway inside the castle,
"What was that?" the leader said as he heard the patter of footsteps,
"Ha!" a voice yelled, and a Pseudo Earthmate, a dwarf, came out with a sword,
"Ah!" a Delta Marine yelled and fired his crossbow, hitting the dwarf in the chest and head, killing him effectively,
"That was the only one?" Delta Leader mumbled, "Well, that wasn't so-" he stopped when he saw a lone figure and the end of the hall, its eyes were glowing a fiercer blue,
"Hello, peasants." the figure said, and snapped her fingers, making all the lanterns light up and bring light to the place,
"What the." a Delta Marine said as he saw the figure, it was a woman, a blonde woman, no older than 21.
"Identify yourself!" Delta Leader yelled and kept his crossbow aimed at her, "Are you friend or foe!?"
"I am neither." the woman said, "I am Freya... a pure blooded Earthmate... Enhanced to be the ultimate warrior! So technically... I am your death!" she yelled,
"Marines are the best warriors there are!" a Delta marine yelled, "You're just a woman!"
"Am I?" Freya said, and with such amazing speed, dashed between all of them to face the Delta marine a few inches away, "AM I!?" she yelled, aimed his crossbow upwards and fired.
"GAH!" that Delta Marine yelled as the bolt went through his head, killed by his own weapon...
"What..." the other marines and the Leader stood in fear,
"Hah!" one of the Marines fired his crossbow, only to have his weapon kicked to the side by the fast being, "Gah!"
"Hah!" Freya pulled out her blade and quickly slit the throat of that marine- Two down... Five to go..

"There's many strange readings here." the robotic female voice alerted the pilot of the spaceship as he flew over the Dark Eclipse facility, "It matches those of your children..."
"Then that's were I'll go.." the man responded, put on a helmet, "Eject!" he yelled, ran to the end of his ship and jumped from the open cargo doors to the planet.

"Augh!" another marine was swiftly ended by the Earthmate,
"What are you!?" the leader said in fear, "You're no human!"
"Stand back!" the last of the other Delta Marines pushed his superior back to give him cover, "You stupid whore! Face me!"
"You're dead!" Freya screamed and was about to finish the said Marine with her sword when the ceiling behind them caved in,
"What the!?" the leader said as the smoke covered a figure,
"What in the." the Earthmate turned to face it,
Suddenly, a red laser shot from the figure's head, pointing at the three, and finally, the smoke cleared to reveal the pilot of the spaceship clad in military armor, very futuristic compared to what the others were wearing.
"Gah.." the Marines stepped back cautiously,
"Rah!" Freya ran to confront him, using her speed to catch the man off guard,
"Hostile detected!" a computer voice said, and the man quickly pulled out a laser rifle and shot Freya before she even got close...

"What!?" Gilbert said as Freya's rune force rapidly and suddenly diminished, "What is this!?"

The man stared at the two Noradian soldiers, who were trembling in awe and fear, seeing how easy he picked off the Earthmate who had annihilated them.
"Please, We surrender!" Delta Leader said and threw his crossbow on the ground, the Delta soldier did the same,
"I... Need help." the man responded, "I am looking for my children.."
"Well, the problem is.." Delta Leader said, "We are kind of trapped in here and are going to die..."
"I'll help you get out." the man said, "If you want."
"Yes!" Delta Marine said in joy, "Yes! Please help!"
"Very well." the man nodded his head and lead the way.

"There it is..." Raguna pointed to the Greater Dark Moon Facility,
"Seems someone got here before we did." Sgt. Wilkes said as he saw the encampment of the Noradian Marines,
"Let's see if we can do something about that." Ivan mumbled, "we have the advantage."
"Let's go." Camus yelled, "I have a bone to pick with Norad."
"Hush little baby... Don't you cry..." Iris mumbled to herself,
"Let's go..." Raguna muttered, his heart completely broken at the sight...
