Destiny of the Earthmates
The Game has Changed
Chapter 14
"Move, move!" Lambda Marine Leader told his totally intact squad as they tried to avoid arrow fire from the crazed Pseudos,
"Ha!" a Dragoon soldier fired at a Pseudo, killing him,
"Alright." Lambda Dragoon Leader mumbled as he pulled out a map, "We're about half a click away..." he pointed to where the main facility was, "last known location of Rho Squadron was here..." he pointed to a nearby area,
"We can link up in that intersection." Marine Leader added as he pointed to the place, "I can't believe it." he muttered, "Those things are killing each other... Like animals."
"That's better for us, ain't it?" a marine chuckled, keeping watch, seeing the insane Pseudos fight each other.
"I don't know..." Dragoon Leader muttered, "They say when you are filled with bloodlust, you are harder to take down."
"Well, there's nothing this can't bring down." a Dragoon said as he patted his trusty handgonne, "I lo-" he paused when he heard a loud roar,
"What the hell?" Lambda Marine Leader stood up.

In the main complex, the Child's capsule liquid churned...
000000
"Twinkle twinkle little star..." Iris sung outside, still manic, "How I wonder what you are..."
000000
The liquid erupted with such volatility, and the Child sent out one last wave, however, this one was invisible...
000000
"Up above the world so high..." an ominous voice played through the Marine crystal balls, "Like a diamond in the sky.."
"What the?" the Great Marine Leader said as the event occurred, "What is going on?"
0000000
The Lambda squad looked up, now the lullaby was plain to hear, resonating in the air,
"Wah- Oh no!" the torchbearer said as his torch was put out by the invisible wave.
All through out the facility, the torches were being extinguished one by one...
00000000
"What the hell?" the strange force of soldiers donning the red and black armor said as their torches also went out,
"I knew this place was haunted!" one of the soldiers said, "I knew we shouldn't have done this!"
"I heard about the things they did in this place." another one added, "If whatever they said was true, may the gods help us all..." he mumbled in fear,
"Shut up!" the leader said, "The Noradians didn't hire us to be cowards and believe in superstitions!" he yelled in anger, "Dammit! Pull your crap together!"
"When the blazing sun is gone... When there nothings shines upon..." the eerie song reached them,
"But then again..." the leader said, "It's not bad saying a little prayer or two..." he gulped hard.
00000000
"How strange..." the space soldier muttered as he heard the song,
"What the hell is that?" Delta Leader mumbled,
"A signal from the Main Complex." the space soldier muttered, "But what really perplexes me is that I can catch it on my communications radio."
"I don't care about that doo hickey!" Delta Marine said, "I just want to get out of here!"
"Then go by yourself..." the space marine told him, "I'm finding out what that is."
"But then again, I can stick around." the Delta Marine chuckled and stood his ground.
00000000
"I'm not liking this one bit..." a Dragoon of the Rho Squadron mumbled, "We're stuck in pitch darkness and that song is playing out of nowhere!
POOMP! POOMP! Two large vibrations shook the ground,
"What was that?" a Rho Marine said as he looked around,
"RAAR!" a roar sounded, and out of nowhere two Pseudos where thrown and landed a few meters ahead of them,
"Argh..." the Pseudos gargled and then died.
POOM! Some nearby crates were knocked down and a huge figure broke through, it was a big hulking Pseudo, his muscles elephantized by the upsurge of runic energy from the child. It was so muscular, that it walked like gorilla and barely had a neck,
"Oh no..." Dragoon leader said in awe at the sight, "What the hell is that!?"
"RAHH!" the Hulk Pseudo beat its chest and locked on to the group,
"That's just not fair!" a Marine yelled,
"What are you waiting for!? An invitation!?" Marine Leader yelled in anger, "Shoot the damn thing!"
"Fire!" the Marines lined up and delivered their volley,
"RAH!" the Hulk Pseudo groaned in pain, "RAH RAH!" it roared in rage,
"Did we even hurt it!?" a Marine yelled in shock as the Hulk Pseudo was still in shape,
"GRAH!" the Hulk charged towards the elites, "BRAH!" he grabbed a Marine,
"AH!" that marine screamed,
"RAH!" the Hulk roared and threw the dwarf to a crate about 20 meters away,
"AUGH!" the marine screamed in pain,
"No!" another marine yelled as the Hulk Pseudo aimed for him,
"DRAH!" the hulk delivered a crippling punch to the man, killing him instantly.
"Fire!" the Dragoons lined up and delivered their deadly payload,
"ARRGHH!" the Hulk Pseudo roared as the rounds pierced his muscles, then went into absolute rage,
"Impossible." the Rho Dragoon leader said in disbelief, "It survived that!?"
"RAH!" the Hulk roared and beat its chest with such intensity, "RAH- ARGH!" it growled in shock as as marine climbed up on its back,
"TAKE THIS!" that marine yelled and stabbed the creature in the back,
"AUGH!" the tank howled in pain and tried to pry the man off of him, but his large muscular hands did not reach that far behind.
"Ah ha!" the elites said as they all charged with their swords and started to stab the creature, like ants attacking a much larger insect.
"Arrghhh..." the Hulk Pseudo groaned and fell to his knees, he was vanquished.
"AUGH!" a voice screamed, and a man was thrown over a wall, landing in front of them,
"What the?" a Dragoon said as he saw the man, it was a soldier wearing red and black armor,
"Take it out!" a voice yelled, and the roars of another Hulk Pseudo sounded.
"RAH!" the other hulk roared and fell, taking down the wall that was separating the Rho squadron from the fight.
"Ah ha!" the leader of the mysterious force said as he passed through the wall, "Take that you sick son of a- HEY!" he said as he saw the other elites, "Oh shit! The Sechs!" he yelled, "men!"
"Who are you!" the Rho squadron Marine Leader told the man,
"You should know!" the leader of the mystery force responded, "Your crown hired us to cover this mess up!"
"What?"
"The Rolandese Blacksnakes..." the Rho Dragoon Leader said, "Elite Mercenaries for the Rolandese crown... Experts at covering up piles of crap like this..."
"I see you know us..." Blacksnake Leader chuckled, "It's strange to see a Sech helping a Norie out, eh?"
"Have you seen the things that are here?" Marine Leader grumbled, "If we didn't have their help, we would be food for these things.." he kicked the body of the hulk they defeated,
"I know." the Blacksnake Leader muttered, "Damn thing got four of my men.."
"Well, the sooner we can get your king out of here, the better." the Dragoon Leader said, "I'm sick of this place already."
00000000
"Hah!" one of the Lambda Marines broke into a room, "What the?" he looked at all the things inside,
"What the hell is this place?" a Dragoon followed behind, "The hell?" he held up a crossbow looking device, "What does this do- OH crap!" he pulled the trigger, and out shot a circular saw, which impacted the nearby wall and got stuck in there.
"SCREAA!" a shrilling scream sounded, and out of nowhere an Iron Claw hopped out and landed on one of the Dragoons,
"AHH!" the Dragoon screamed as the creature raised its hands, "GET IT OFF!"
"DIE!" a marine ran to the rescue and delivered a decapitating blow to the Iron Claw,
"Augh..." the Dragoon moaned as the headless corpse fell on him, "Thank you..."
To Samantha,
I like the soldiers to not have any names because it removes their autonomy, making their exploits more like a team effort.
Also, the Animes I watched... That's kinda off Topic... But I guess I can list them:
Nagareboshi Lens, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto, Clannad, Aki Sora (IT WAS AN ACCIDENT), and that's about it... I'm not really that wise on anime... But I should start watching more...
And I'm pretty sure that what the Kylia.. the Elf Pseudo, did was more than 20% illegal... Don't you think.. Lol
Thanks for reviewing guys.
Also, Roland is a country in the Rune Factory continent and long time ally to the Nories.. Just so you know. Actually in game (except the Ally to Norad Part)
