Chapter 8: Action

Peppita awoke and looked around she was in a cool silver medical facility. There was a med-droid tending to other patients in the ward. It was actually quite big, and nearly all the beds were full. Only 2 were empty. It was very simple. There were just rows of beds, and IVs next to each one. Then at the end of the room there was a single desk with a bunch of complicated medical items. Then there was a huge cabinet behind the desk, which probably had more medical items within it.

Peppita blinked and thought, "This isn't the Rebel Base…were we captured?"

The droid somehow sensed Peppita awoke and walked, or actually, hovered toward her. The med droid had a steel face, with slits black slits for its eye receptors. Then there was a slit for a mouth, for its mouth receptor. "Miss Peppita, how are you feeling, I think you should get some rest," its voice said coolly in a very mechanical tone.

"Umm, yeah, hey err, what should I call you?"

"Just KT-14," it said, just as unemotional as before.

"Ummm, is it ok if I call you Kay-Tee?" she asked, timidly.

"Whatever suits you, miss."

"Ok KT, where am I? Where is everyone? Kian? John? And that Lady?"

"I am sorry Miss, I don't know, let me call Madame Leingod."

"Ok,"-she paused then jumped up furiously-"Leingod? Her name wouldn't happen to be Ryoko, would it?"

"Why that is correct, are you acquainted with her? No matter, I will get someone to fetch her for you."

"Thank you KT," Peppita exclaimed. Just as he said that Ryoko herself entered the room.

"Ah Madam Leingod! I was just gonna send for you," KT said, you guessed it, unemotionally.

"Ah, for what reason KT? You aren't one to look for company," Ryoko asked bemusedly.

"Very funny m'am, but Miss Peppita just awoke. She was looking for you, and asked to see you when she awoke."

"Peppita! You're ok!! You had us terrified after that bullet struck you," Ryoko said. She walked over to her bedside, and looked very motherly at the little girl.

"Oh my! Is that what happened? I just felt a sharp pain…then nothing until I woke up now,"-she said and there was an awkward silence-"Mrs. Leingod…where are we?"

"Will you walk with me Peppita? We have lots to talk about…if you're able that is."

"Oh yeah I'm fine!" she exclaimed and jumped out of bed.

"What a speedy recovery, let's go," she said very kindly. "KT, I'm taking Peppita out, is that fine?"

"Of course let me just check her," KT said. As he did he moved toward Peppita and pointed his arm at her. His arm suddenly morphed into some sort of gun. Peppita flinched then broke out in laughter as some sort of beam went over her.

"HAHAHAHA! Stop! That tickles!!" Peppita gasped. KT lifted his hand which morphed into a portable screen. It displayed Peppita's vitals.

"Hmmm…Heart rate is regular…the wound wasn't too deep, and is beginning to seal up…just don't overexert yourself. She's good to go m'am," KT replied.

"Alright thanks KT, let's go Peppita," Ryoko said, and offered her hand to the small girl. They left the room and the walls opened with a sharp hiss. Peppita wouldn't have even guessed the door was there. The facility was indeed high tech.

They exited into the hall, completely silver…very high tech. Peppita only gawked in awe.

"So Mrs. Leingod…where are we? And what happenned back at the Military Garrison?"

"We are in an underground facility 700 miles beneath the Earth's surface. We're using it as a Rebel Base for now. The electronics are completely untraceable due to the depth of the facility. This was actually an old lab Robert and I completed…just before he…passed away," she said. She ended with a sniffle, and smiled again.

"Oh I'm so sorry….OH!"

"What's the matter?" Ryoko asked very alarmed.

"I…I just realized…I've been calling you 'Mrs.' the whole time!!"

"It's quite alright, you can keep calling me that…I prefer it anyway. Oh and to answer your second question...we got out just fine. We got out because John was a true hero...and sacrificed himself.," she said and smiled.

"O-Ok," she said, and stood awkwardly. "So were your two friends, the ones who helped rescue us, Sophia's parents? And...so...John is dead?"

"Yeah, they were let's, just hope that Sophia is ok. And...sadly yes...I know that he saved you."

The little girl looked shocked and fought back tears.

"Yeah, me too. And...we'll avenge John's loss!" Suddenly electronic klaxons began to ring and blare very loudly.

"Ryoko…we just found the signature of a tracking device in the Med Wing…that means someone knows where we are," Clive said through Ryoko's comm..

"What? A Rat!"

"Come on let's head back!!" Peppita yelled. They burst into the room and Ryoko yelled at KT.

"KT run a tracker scan in this room," she yelled.

"M'am?" it replied innocently.

"Just do it!"

KT's eye receptors turned red first then turned back to normal, a second later.

"Got him!" he said. He hovered to a bedside and shook the soldier on the bed awake.

"Wuzzgoinon?" he asked.

"We know that you're the rat! Confess!" Ryoko yelled.

"Ryoko Leingod, target confirmed," the soldier suddenly said mechanically. It sprang for Ryoko's neck. Peppita kicked the soldier across the room and into the wall. A few soldiers woke up and some swore.

"Its…its an Android!!" Ryoko exclaimed.

"Yeah…but how did it get past the sensors?" KT asked. He looked on in wonder then he scanned the body. "Ingenious, something that surpasses anything you could invent m'am!"

"Grr, I bet it's that damn Nedian tech! They probably set it up in case someone went to rescue them…and we fell for it. Damn! They could be on us right now!" As if in response to Ryoko, a loud 'Boom' sounded somewhere in the facility.

"It's them!" Peppita yelled.

"M'am my sensors indicate that an enemy has breached the security, they've gathered in force too…I estimate…1000 soldiers…10 tanks…and 20 other combat vehicles," KT said.

"Damn! Clive! Clive are you ok?" she yelled through her comm..

"Ryoko it's bad!! They just breached the level we're on…I'm giving the evac code!! I've already doubled the troops in the hangar and the pilots are powering up the ships already," he yelled through his comm..

"Alright, meet you there," she replied. "MARINES!!" she yelled. All the soldiers awoke and looked confused.

"M'am?" a soldier asked. The voice belonged to Kian.

"Kian, assemble your men…the ones that can fight can step through that door to the armory," she said. KT stepped to another wall and it opened…again. A bevy of guns and armor hung in compact racks, that was scientifically impossible. Then again…this was Universe-Reknown Genius Ryoko Leingod we're talking about.

"Alright Peppita let's load up!"

"Yes m'am!" Kian could be heard yelling over all the Marines telling them what to do.

"Kian! Tell the ones who can't fight to run straight to the hangar, here you go!" She tossed a communicator with a map of the lab. He then tossed it to the man that was leading the injured. A group of 20 soldiers joined the unarmed lads.

"Alright let's go Kian, we might have a major fight on our hands here," Ryoko said grimly. She grabbed some gear from the armory. She got gear for Peppita, so the girl wouldn't be crushed by the bevy of Marines. She was adjusting Peppita's suit, when a huge explosion ripped the far door open. Golden armored men could be spotted, and bursts of energy were shot into the room.

"Damn! They've gotten in this far? Give 'em hell boys!!" Kian yelled, at the top of his lungs.


Fayt looked around and he was in the middle of the Greetonian City, buildings were crumbling all around him. Then he saw Maria in front of him. But there were tons of golden-clad soldiers around him. She futily shot at them. Cliff behind him was yelling "DAMN IT!!"

Nel was unconscious on the ground behind a huge piece of rubble, while Albel had his hands up in surrender, "Maggots.." he said. There were tons of soldiers surrounding them. He saw a man in green armor snag her and then they disappeared. A transporter beam surrounded them and they were beamed somewhere.

"NO!!" he yelled. His eyes glowed blue and he suddenly wielded two swords…his Veinsley and Silvance. Each blade grew blue and he ripped through all the soldiers on the street, tearing everyone apart. At once he seemed he was in place then he was in another.

His speed was ungodly…his strength unparalleled. Then when all the soldiers were killed he faced the sky. He released a huge burst of energy, it tore apart the street. Then a clear blue blast shot upwards from him. It was like a huge pillar rising to the heavens. It was the most beautiful sight one could ever hope to see. Fayt was an Angel of Death indeed.

It shot past the atmosphere and jetted into space. It Sped towards three ships. One huge one, and two small ones on either side.

The blast then split into two and blew up the smaller ones. Then…Fayt woke up. He was being shaken awake by Cliff. Fayt was thrashing around wildly in bed.


"Fayt! Fayt! Wake Up!!" he yelled. He began slapping the young man in the face.

"Ah!!" Fayt yelled as he rolled off his bed. He looked up menacingly at Clff.

"Mornin'," Cliff said, looking at him bemusedly.

"WHAT THE HELL!!"

"Well you were thrashing around in your sleep kinda funny actually," Cliff chuckled. He took out his communicator set to 'Video' and was watching Fayt's escapade. Then he looked at him seriously. "What were you dreaming about though?"

"Honestly? I was dreaming…about…Maria," he said.

"Woah…like a wet dream?" Cliff asked with a funny grin.

"NO! I dreamt that…that she'd be taken away like kidnapped right in front of us. And we were helpless to stop them…"

"OK…but it was just a dream…right?"

"Y-Yeah…just a dream…it was in this city though. Everything was collapsing and I went beserko…except I had control this time, I dunno."

"Listen Fayt, don't dwell on it. A Fella told me once that if a man tries to prevent the Future then it will only happen because of what you tried to do. Ya get me?"

"Yeah I hear ya' but…I got to do something, like…can I go see her now?"

"Sure, she should be more calm now…just tread carefully."

"Of course, I'm me," he said arrogantly.

"That's what I'm afraid of," Cliff replied. Fayt stuck a tongue out at him and rushed out the door. When he got out he noticed that the hall was empty and simply shrugged. Then when he walked on to the Grand Staircase, he noticed that almost everyone was scrambling in the lobby. Everything was in disarray.

He knew something was wrong when he saw Aquarian and Glyphian soldiers trooping out. He saw a familiar blonde head and red bob behind the soldiers. He sprinted down the stairs to try and reach them but, a man bumped into him running up the stairs. Fayt held him back.

"Hey, pal what's going on?" he asked.

"You didn't hear the huge blast this morning?"

"No."

"How didn't you! I mean- never mind. I'm wasting too much time. There are some strange intruders with weird but godly weapons! They seem…I daresay…otherworldly."

"Thanks pal," he said. When he turned around the man was already gone. He was going to go back to the room to tell Cliff, but stopped. Albel and Cliff were already walking toward him. Albel was putting on a red full samurai suit, minus the helmet. He was tightening his gauntlets, with Cliff behind him. Albel held another sword, not his.

"Maggot, I suspect you already know what's going down," Albel said.

"Yeah some guy told me."

"Alright, Fayt. Albel just told me that we're expecting a big battle here. The intruders…they're the Nedians. They're here for you and Maria," he said grimly.

"I got ya'…Albel what's the other sword for?"

"It's yours maggot! You left in Airyglyph after Boyd made you that new one. When I was gonna give it to that fool, he said that only you could wield the Veinslay or shit, I dunno! Just take it damn it!!"

"OK," he said. Cliff told him he'd need some armor too. He brought out his communicator and set it to 'replicator'. He just replicated a golden carbonite plate, and threw it over his black combat suit. Cliff did the same. They descended to the bottom only to find a unit ready for them.

"Lord Albel, we're your unit to command, what do you want us to do?" the captain asked.

Fayt, Albel and Cliff only smiled at each other. Albel and Cliff began walking out the door. Fayt shrugged and followed. "Just stay out of the way maggots! Reinforce another unit!" Albel howled. They got onto the street and then reached a gate. A huge troop of soldiers guarded the way.

"Sir we have them held up that way, we're getting crushed though," the gatekeeper said.

"Alright we'll see what we can do," Cliff said. He powered up his gauntlets. "DAMN! Guys I feeeeel good!! Let's kick some ass!!"

"Maggot…I can agree with you for once," Albel replied.

"Guys don't forget we have to find Maria and make sure she's safe."

"Awww is wittle Fayt boo boo bear worried about his girly?" Albel teased.

"Shut Up- duck!!" Fayt suddenly yelled. He tackled Albel to the ground. An Aquarian soldier was thrown at them from ahead. They looked up the road and saw a huge amount of Nedians tearing the street apart.

"Shiiiiiiiiiiiittt! There's an ass load of maggots," Albel said. They heard a bunch of footsteps behind them. Albel turned around and eyed the soldier from earlier. He put a hand on his sword. "Where were you fools? I told you to come with us to help!"

"B-But sir you said-," the hopeless soldier stammered.

"I told you to follow us! You can't expect us to take care of ALL of them. You act like I told you to stay out of the way," Albel smirked.

"B-But…never mind, yes sir, right away," he replied. He loaded the ancient rifle he held. He gestured to them to follow suit. A motley crew of swordsmen and riflemen stood ready.

"Alright guys, let's give them hell," Fayt said. He brandished his two swords and slowly walked forward. (Heavy Metal Music begins playing in the background)

"Cliff you fool, put that damn racket away!!" Albel barked. Cliff whimpered and put away his communicator set to 'music'. He adjusted his gauntlets and got ready to fight.


"NEL!" Maria yelled as she saw Nel get shot by a direct blast from a Nedian gun. Nel was thrown backward and she lay crumpled against a building wall. Nel was out cold. Maria cast a healing spell on her quickly and pulled her away to a safer place.

Things were definitely looking grim. Aquarian soldiers were falling right to left. They did put up a fight though. The Nedians were caught off guard when the Aquarians engaged them in close quarters. Maria took out the katana she borrowed and got back to work. She noticed how 4D space had certainly sharpened her reflexes.

She was dodging left and right, and striking killing blows. She striked ruthlessly, and her inexperience wasn't noticeable. However, every Nedian she took, they took three Aquarians. Her allies were dwindling and it wasn't good. To make matters worse another group were coming down the road.

She breathed deeply and forgot that she was surrounded by enemies. She tapped into her powers. She had been toying with this for a while now. She called it Stage 1. She opened her eyes, she felt it. Her eyes weren't glowing, but power was flowing.

Her Alteration powers were flowing, brimming, ready to manifest. She was changing the structure of her feet so she could move faster. She was changing the air molecules to allow bursts of energy to flow from her palms. Then, she moved. In a burst of un-humane speed she gracefully struck quickly around the group. She moved like she was dancing cutting and slashing, men falling and crumbling. Then she moved her hands upwards. And a pillar of ice gashed the men unfortunate to be under that patch of ground.

As she looked back all the Nedians were left twitching on the ground. The group ahead looked on in horror except for the two men at the head of the group. They both chuckled.

"Impressive, quite impressive indeed," the man in green armor said.

"Raw power at its best, or is there more?" the man wearing brass knuckles said.

"Plenty more, come closer and I'll show you," Maria replied coolly.

"Oho, a challenge, I'll take this one Jyril," the man wearing brass knuckles said.

"So why would an offworlder as yourself be wearing brass knuckles?" Maria asked.

"I'm an offworlder am I? So are you one too?"

"Yes…what's that matter?"

"Everything."

"Hmm?" She adjusted her footing and waited for him to strike. As soon as he saw him move, she struck with lightning quick speed at the man's neck. He brought his brass knuckled to block.

He laughed, "Oh yeah these aren't brass knuckles. They're the polished teeth of a dragon that I killed." Maria looked at him incredulously. And struck again. The man dodged this time. He used the opening to punch at Maria. He got her in the ribs and she winced in pain.

"Damn," she whispered. She closed her eyes and went into 'Stage 2'. She felt it instantly and went at it again. She lunged her katana and got him back. She felt the end of the katana pierce the golden armor. She dug it deeper but the man grabbed the blade and stopped it. He brought his other hand above his head and then he broke the blade with his dragon-knuckles.

Maria gasped and then brought out her gun. She shot 5 rapid bursts at the hole in the man's armor. He shrieked in pain as he fell to the floor. He wasn't done yet. He gestured to his men and the other big man. The man with the huge double ended spear instantly lunged at Maria's neck. She conjured an ice pillar in time to stop the attack. Then the Aquarians sprang back into action as they saw the Nedians step up.

Maria continued dodging the Green Armored man, who was flinging his spear around wildly. In the man's rampage he was tearing apart the last few Aquarians. To make matters worse, more Nedians were coming from down the road.

Maria's fatigue was threatening to overcome her. Beads of sweat rolled down her face. She felt a growing cramp down on her lower abdomen. The giant man tackled her down to the ground. Then the man ruthlessly raised his spear and was about to bring it down. Maria encased herself in an ice cocoon. She felt the impact as the spear came down. She was waiting him to strike again, when the man screamed out in agony.

She was wondering what was going on. When she felt her cocoon heaved up by two or three men.

She heard a man say, "Beam us up now damn it!!" She heard the man argue for a second then she burst out of her cocoon. The ice formed into sharp icicles and shot outward. They plunged themselves deep within her advararies. She looked around and saw herself facing the big green armored man. He had a huge icicle sticking out of his thigh. She also saw what looked like a laser weapon sticking through the man's huge arm. He was a bloody mess, but it didn't seem to hinder him.

"Men! Grab her! We're getting out of here!!" he yelled. She glanced around and quickly futily shot at the soldiers around her. She heard a loud shout of 'Maria!' and looked up. It was Fayt.

"Fayt!! Help!!" she shouted but was hoisted by one of the soldiers on to their soldiers.


Fayt couldn't believe his eyes, everything was coming true. Even after he threw the laser weapon at the man, he was still standing.

"Cliff! Cliff! This was my dream, everything is happening!!" he cried.

"What? We gotta do something before they get to us!"

"Look around fool…they already have," Albel shot. He rose his hands in surrender. The Nedians had their group surrounded. Just like in Fayt's dream, Maria and the big green man was beamed up.

"NO!!" Fayt yelled. Then his eyes glowed bright blue, brighter than ever before. He brandished his sword, and the one Albel gave to him. The Nedians stepped back a step, but kept their guns up.

Albel looked on in horror, he had witnessed this before. He was afraid of the maggot blowing up the city! "Hey maggot calm down! E-Everything will be fine…we'll g-get her back!"

Fayt didn't answer. He began to rise in the air, his angel wings formed on his back. His two swords began to glow blue. Their clear blades adapted to the energy coursing through them.

"Albel, don't worry…he said to me that he had a dream of this…he said he was in control, let's…let's give him a chance," Cliff said. Albel opened his mouth to shoot a sarcastic comment but shut up. All the soldiers watched in awe as the Angel of Death looked upon them. Little did they know that he had placed a death mark on every single one of them. In a flash he disappeared.

Then he appeared in the middle of all the soldiers. He began slashing through all of them. But a half second later he was tearing others apart. And another half second later he was at it again. He was completely decimating all of the Nedians. In another second, all of them were dead. They lay on the street, limp bodies, a result of a man's grief. Was he hero? Villain? Vigilante? He didn't care, the woman he loved had been taken from him.

He walked toward Captain Stern. Stern was a limp pile of shit on the ground. He began shaking and trembling. Stern looked up at him. "W-What do you want?" he stammered.

"Revenge..," Fayt hissed. He forced the man to stand, then walked away. Stern smirked and threw a punch at Fayt's head. In a single motion, Fayt's swords came swinging across in a clockwise motion, slicing Stern's arms off.

"Arghhhh!!"

"Wrong Choice…," he aimed his two swords at Stern. In a huge burst of blue energy he tore apart more than half the street, along with Stern. Nothing was left of him and the buildings were also gone. The street gone, it left a perfectly flat plane in it's wake, as if it were all erased.

Fayt looked up skyward. Then he aimed his sword upward. He released a huge thick column of blue energy upwards. A common person looking on would have thought it was an act of god. A clear blue pillar of energy rising to the heavens. It rose into space and sped towards three ships orbiting the planet. There were two small ones and one big one, the flagship.

Cliff and Albel stood in awe. Both thought that Fayt was some sort of god.

The pillar of energy split into two beams and engulfed the two smaller ships. Fayt, somehow knew that Maria was on the flagship. The two small ships were engulfed in Symbological runes. The symbols kept appearing and appearing until the entire ship was blue, and no more symbols would fit. Then they both disappeared. Erased just like Stern and the buildings, and much like the Invisible too.

"Gods Almighty…" Cliff whispered. Fayt slowly hovered to the ground. His swords both dropped to the ground. When they fell the blades fell. They were probably overpowered by the energy Fayt was releasing. Albel and Cliff walked toward him. They stepped past the pile of dead bodies, toward the kid.

"Cliff…Cliff…they took her…" he cried. He began sobbing and buried his face in his hands. He was a mess. He looked around at the dead bodies. "And…and I killed…all of them. Cliff…who…what am I?"

"Fayt…we…we gotta stay calm," Cliff stammered.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Fayt yelled. Then he blacked out and fell unconscious.

"Poor kid…" Cliff whipered. He lifted him on his shoulders and looked at Albel. Albel lifted Nel on his shoulders and looked just as grim. They walked in silence together back to the Embassy.


"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!" King Nede yelled. He was yelling at his helmsman.

"I…Energy Levels above…10.0, off the charts sir," the helmsman stammered.

"I don't bloody care, get us the hell out of here!!" Nede yelled.

Indalecio walked toward the enrage King on the bridge. "My Lord, Jyril has returned, he got the girl."

"What about the boy?" he spat.

"Sir…the boy was the reason your best garrison just got torn apart. That boy is the cause of the loss of your two ships. That boy almost killed Jyril…not that I care. But that boy was too much too handle. We weren't in a favored position."

"I don't give a damn!! Why didn't you go down?"

"How dare you? My lord, I could kill you 1000 different ways in where you stand in a second."

"What did you say?" Nede asked.

"No matter sir, and you know what I said. I didn't stutter. We have to get back to Earth quickly. Intelligence has found target Ryoko Leingod."

"I-I'll deal with you later, let's go," he spat. He got back into his command chair.

Indalecio looked at him in disgust. He turned around and walked to the room where they were holding the Esteed girl and the other one. "One more…" he thought.


A/N: OK so this Chapter was a bit grim and violent...Fayt is becoming a god-like entity. Things are developing quite well. Alright stay with me people, I promise I won't disappoint.
