An Apocolyptic Beginning~ A Idea by Raven and Samchu! Starts Now! LSU's accepted...

[Ghost]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is the year 3065. The year that Chaos could end. The year that Japan can be stopped. But we would need your help first.
You see, my name is Damon Castle. Of course , I already know what's going to happen,because I am from the future. I was able to come back from what was the wastleland the Japan made.
What you see is, If we dont get your help, The UCS will die. Do you get me? Die!!!!
What did you say? You dont know what the hell I am talking about. Alright, alright, I'll give you the briefing, and hell, I'll give you the history too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~


In the 3034, Japan unleashed a huge nuclear bomb on each and every continent but Antaractica. It destroyed every contry except England, Russia, India, the United States, and Parts of Canada. Australia also survived as well.
In the year 3040, after everyone recovered, the surviving countries teamed up together to form a secret alliance against Japan: The USC ( United Countries Standing) Since the Japanese leader, Mitsurugi Kahn, was getting old, they knew that if they built some super-soldiers, they could easily send them in and assasinate the new leader and take over Japan.
So that is what we did. In 3044, the scientists finally were able to create a serum to make super-soldiers, like Captain America. So they took five babies: Nathan Koals, Damon Castle, Sadano Hussef, and two others, and injected them with the serum.
Of course, this serum was not fast acting, it would take years to flow through their blood stream and take full effect. We were hidden from the public, and secretly trained in a learning acamedy underground.
When we were 13 years old, We were able to press 150 pounds, run 15 miles per hour for as long as 2 hours, and had advanced hearing, seeing, and intelligence.
Four of the super-soldiers joined the USC, but one didn't: Sadano Hussef.
When Mitsurugi Kahn died, Sadano, 21, became the leader of Japaan, and released even more havoc upon the remaining countries. But Sadano, recently, in 3062, stopped his attacks. We know think we know why. Because of them.
In around 3063, Sadano was able to make a duplicate of the serum, only it was injected into adults, and had instant effect.
In 3064, The US found out about Sadano's serum, so they were able to steal some of it and were able to inject it into 3 more adults.
Our science techonlogy increased, and in 3064 the first laser gun was built.
Then, In 3065, It happened. This is what caused the war.

PLAYBACK INITIATED

Damon Castle, 21 years old, steps out of his mansion house. He is wearing his normal buisness outfit: a buiness suit with a briefcase, full of money and took apart guns. He walks over towards his Cadillac Escalade, and steps inside. Damon has to pick up his friend to go to work.
As you can see, technology isn't much advanced. Full eletric cars are the only new things to happen, other then satilette dvd players, automatic driving, telephones in your car, etc.


6:55am

After Damon picks up Nathan, they picked up some coffee, and rive to work. On the way their on the highway, about half an hour away, a huge meteor flys by, followed by 50 more small ones.
" What the hell was that?" Nathan asks.
" I don't know, but the President is probably gonna have us check it out anyway," Damon replied, and turned the driving onto automatic.

7:45am

Damon and Nathan reach the president's office, and have a conversation with him, when all of the sudden, the elevator door blows open. Nathan and Damon quickly draw out there pistols, and aim towards the elevator. A ugly creature, around eight feet tall, and covered in full body armor steps forward. The nose is connected to the mouth ( Think Elite from Halo 2) and He has a bomb strapped to his chest. He charges straight for Nathan.
" Nathan, get down!" Damon yelled, and tackles him to the floor. The president is hit, and red and orange blood flies everywhere, and the desk explodes, sending wood splints flying into Damon's back and neck. Nathan is luckily unharmed.
" We need to get out of here before more of those com-" Damon was interupted by the emergency elevator blowing open, and 5 more of the creatures with huge rifles step in.
" Get them!" The leader yells. The bullets were not bullets actually, they were plasma beams, able to burn right through the skin. Luckily, Nathan and Damon made it to the emergency stairs, and made it to the first floor where they could get out.
They quickly ran to the Escalade, and jumped in. The Aliens ran after, firing at the car. The car took a few dents, but they were able to make it to the highway.
" We need to get the **** out of here," Damon said, looking at himself in the mirror. He was bloody as couild be and wood splints were all stuck in him.
" We need to get my wife first!" Nathan argued.
" We will get your wife, don't worry." We are going to Russia, that's the biggest base" Damon said. Nathan nodded. Fizz Fizz Fizz.... That is the end of tape.

HOLODISK EJECTED

The planet is currently under threat from a large scale alien invasion. The UCS calls in every agent they have available for a mass briefing, they believe that Japan has formed an alliance with the aliens in an attempt to finish what their nuclear bombs could not. Every agent is dispatched to Russia, to UCS's largest headquarters for a final debriefing and preparation for war.

Japan, recieving word that the UCS is preparing to ris against it, calls forth its own army. In truth, they have no alligance with the aliens. They Gyron, calculating this time as the Earth's most vulnerable moments, have decided to take their own course of action. Their mission: DESTROY EARTH.


Ok, here's how it works:

UCS agents ~ you are called in to the nearest hq where you are informed that Japan has formed a tight alligance with an unknown alien race in an attempt at world domination. You are sent to Russia to prepare for war.

Japanese soldiers ~ Your respect leader Sadano, has recently informed you that the UCS are preparing to destroy your homeland. He calls you forward for war against the UCS.

Outlaws ~ The location you are at is being infested by alien scum. Any action taken is your own choice.

Age: 21
Gender: Male
Weapon: has a handgun in his pocket, and a sniper rifle and machine in his suticase.
Skills: Cooking- Damon is a great cook ^_^
Personiality: Damon is a very serious worker: Alot more serious then Nathan, so he never got a wife in his time... He never had a girlfriend either, though him and Nathan's wife were good friends in the acamedy... Anyways, Damon is always very serious he feels that the world shouldn't have time for jokes in a very serious time like this. The only time he may be laid back is when he is drunk, but that is almost never because Damon always has to work ( and the beer company has almost died out because of adrenaline suppliers) Damon also is always being invited over to Nathans house for dinner, seeing as he has no one to talk to after work.
Description: Damon is about 6'3", maybe 4", and has smooth blonde hair, which was sometimes referred to by his teachers and once by Nathan and his wife as 'angel hair', even though now it usually gets stained with blood and he has to frequently clean it. Damon has very well toned muscles, but he ios much stronger then he looks. He also has strong legs, and can run at about 25 miles an hour for around and hour. Damon's also are also a sea blue, and his teeth are perfectly white. He is basically, what you would think a perfect role model was. His house is also perfectly clean- He likes to have everything perfect.
History: Went to the Acamedy as a super Soldier, blah blah blah, worked for the USC.
Super-Soldier or No: Yep
Relationship: Best Friends with Nathan and his wife.

Damon Castle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Driving the Escalade as fast as I could, we finally got to Nathan's house. His wife should be here, Atleast that is what we hoped. " Nathan, stay in here and get in the driver seat. I need to take a rest in the back so i can feel my body again," I told him, and exited the car. I ran to the front door, pistol drawn. The wood splints in my face, chest, back, and various other places felt like they were burning in my skin, but I endured it.
I slowly raised my hand towards the doorbell. I rang it, then put my hand back to my gun. I saw Kiria through the window, and watched her move towards the door and opened it.
" Damon, what the hell happened to you?" She asked when she opened the door, seeing me all bloody and bruised.
" We have no time to talk, we need to get the the airport," I said, and pulled her towards the car. Me and her got in the back, and Nathan started to pull out of the driveway.
" Damon, to the airport?" Nathan asked.
" No, we need to go to Steve's house. Then we can go." I told him, and rested my head back against the headrest. Many things raced through my mind, but one stuck out; Were we going to die?

[Samchu]

Name: Nathan Koals
Age: 22
Side: UCS
Gender: Male
Weapon: 2 standard hanguns
Skills: Bomb technician - he can build/diffuse bombs

Personiality: Nathan's a nice guy, really likable, except if he already doesn't like you, then you're in trouble. He takes his job seriously and hates how much it clashes with his social life. (Kind of expected seeing as how his wife is a super-soldier too). His main talent is his ability to focus, any work with bombs requires vast ammounts of focus, and he can provide it. He's also loyal. Though he has no plans on dying any time soon, he's prepared to give his life to save others.

Description: He's about 6'2 and can lift much more weight than his average build suggests. He has short black hair (that's a change) and sea green eyes. He wears jeans a lot because his line of work requires the durability they provide and usualy just wears dark coloured t-shirts or shirts on top (hey, meeting the president requires some level of smartness).

History: Meh, the usual, injected with serum, trained in underground academy. Took a keen interst in the mechanisms of bombs, even developed a new one at some point (almost blew out half the academy ). Started dating his wife shortly before they left the academy, continued dating her afterwards and eventually proposed a few years later. Now settled and living large (more or less), he's still been designing some new bombs though...

Super-Soldier or No: Yep
Relationship: Married to...whoever B4's char is and Damon's best friend (yay! so popular!)
Other: *blows up other*

Nathan
~~~~~

I shook my head and floored it. It didn't seem right to me though, not really. All of this mess, I thought it was over, I thought we'd done our jobs and we could live in peace, now this. Aliens attacking the President, almost getting blown up by a suicide alien. Talk about freaky! I shook my head and drove towards Steve's house. Looks like the whole gang would be getting together once again, seemed kinda different. Last time we'd all been together was at the wedding, we hadn't all been in the same place since.

I pulled up outside Steve's house and Damon went to knock for him. I left the engine running and clambered into the backseat beside Kiria.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Do I need a reason to sit with my wife."
She shot me a quick 'today-you-do' look and I grinned awkwardly.
"Hey, Steve's a better driver than I am and I don't trust Damon alone with you for two seconds. I know that guy way too well..."

Description: He's 6 feet tall. Has blonde hair and blue eyes. He's often in his armor which is red, white and blue. Oddly enough, it is the color of one of the old nation states. The helmet covers his head except for his mouth and has a flip top visor.

History: Steve Rohjaz was born rather frail but his parents opted to send him to the super soldier place and altered his genetic code and made him remarkably similar to a hero of a bygone era. They even changed his name to make him more similar to the hero of legend that led a team of marvels.

He is friends with Nate and has known him since after he got injected with the serum. He wants to know why he looks like the legendary hero and wants to know more about him and the Super solider project. His high tech armor helps him in many ways and got it as a gift from his parents.

Steve
*****************

Aliens attacking the president? I couldn't believe it.. It was unthinkable in this day and age. Stuff like that was reserved for a milennia ago. Time never changes, I guess. I had just finished shaving when I heard a car horn. I peered out the window to see a car and three friends I hadn't seen in a long time. I made my way to greet the others at the door.

"Damon? Nate? Kiria?" I looked at my friends as I opened the door."Time to go,right? Give me a sec to get my armor."

"You doing okay by yourself bud?"Nate asked.

I noticed he saw the magazines and workout stuff all over the place. He also took note of the data recorder I used to find info about an age long gone. An age where people like us were rare but there were other kinds of heroes, mutants, monsters and marvels.

"I'm fine."I replied."Research is going well. I figured out my armor was made by a company called Stark. Whatever that is."

"You still using that old shield, Steve?"Nate asked.

"Old?!" I laughed."Well, it is from World War II. It still works though. Adamantium and Vibranium composite. Never rusts like the armor."

"We have to get going, Rohjaz."Damon said quicky.

"Plus we like seeing a bucket on your head."Nate laughed.

"Oh you're hilarious!" I laughed.

I pushed a button on the closet door to reveal my red, white and blue armor. It was the colors of a long gone hero. The hero who had this shield.

"If we ever go to New York, Steve."Kiria began."It might be good for you to visit the Hall of Marvels."

"I'd like that."I replied."Armor activate!"

My armor sprung alive and pour onto me like water. My friends were used to it and I placed my helmet on. It was time to do our jobs once again! We walked outside after I grabbed the shield and got into the car.

"Guys mind if I drive?"I asked.

"No no.."Nate sweated a bit."I insist!"

With that I started the car and we were on our way.

[Bulbasaur4]

Name: Kiria Koals
Side: USC
Gender: Female
Weapon: Firelfies - They're guns, but they don't shoot out bullets but rather laser-crafted crystaliized bullets. They're faster and more painful than normal bullets travel, although they're meant for assisnation more than assault. She also carries a mini-flamethrower... sorta like a short-range last minute thing to save her butt.
Skills: Language- she can communicate and indentify almost any language, and this includes listening to a language she's never heard of before... and figuring out how to communicate. She also is probably the most agile person you'll ever meet.
Personiality: Gentle and nice... she always remains optimistic even in the most sinister of situations. Tries to always help, and is some one you know you can trust who will always remain by your side 'till the end.
Description: Here!
History: Kiria was born from a rather high class family, and much unlike her other two siblings and extended family... she was polite and kind and didn't take advantage of her parent's money. She excelled in language in school, and even enrolled in a more expensive yet highly aquired school for many subjects with language as the emphasis. Recruiting, she went to the academy to become a Super Soldier. Unlike most Super Soldiers however, for a year she was retained away from all the others to simply manigfy her language skills and train her to become extremely flexible and agile. If she were to go upon missions, they believed they couldn't lose to afford her... since she basically was the only person they could discover who could master 'decifering' languages that she had never heard of before, plus she was a very knowledgable pperson who absorbed a lot of information which she was taught. After her year of solitude, she was a bit quiet... but her best friend Damon introduced her to Nathan. So soon, she had hung out with Steve, Nathan and Damon... and eventually Nathan dated her. Slowly she broke a little out of her shell and even after the acadamy they dated and then he proposed. They've been married every since, but Kiria remains best friends with Damon and Steve as well. She has wrote several books upon various topics from wildlife and space... yeah. lots of good stuff.
Super-Soldier or No: Yes
Relationship: Wife to Nathan, good friends with Damon and Steve.
Other: Has some medical training.




Kiria ~

Kiria nervously watched as the Escalade came up, and instantly when she saw Damon come to get her she was shocked.
"Damon.." She gasped, butu there was no time. In the vehicle, he easily explained how the President was killed and how they had to get to the base fast.
"This alien... did it say anything?"
Damon and Nathan seemed to exchange glances...
"Some weird garbled noises, nothing I could make out." Kiria gave a slight nod. She already had the wheels in her head turning... if there was a tape... maybe they recovered it and she could look over at it in Russia. But there wasn't time now.
Soon they stopped, Damon went out to get Steve and Nathan hoped in back. After exchanges of words, Kiria gave a smile.
"I'm glad you're okay... I do'nt know what I would have done if you... ifyou had been hurt." Nathan gave Kiria a hug, and she simply smiled at him. Soon Steve took the wheel, and Damon had hopped in.
"Damon.. you really need some attention to those wounds. they could get infected..."
"No time. We gotta get to the airport and fast."

The vehicle soon came out and speeded towards the airport- Steve was the better driver by far.
"Well here.. at least scrub most of your wounds with this." Kiria grabbed her bag and took out a anti-bacterial infection along with some cloth. Handing it over to Damon, she smiled.
"You didn't think I'd leave with out trying to take care of you guys, did you?" She gave a grin... the bottle was quite big.

[Ghost]

Damon
~~~~~~~


" Thanks, but no thanks." I said, putting the bottle next to me. " I'm not exactly the one to take care of myself. I'll have Dr. Kornakov check it out when we get to Russia. He was my mom's best friends son. We played before I got sent to become a Super Soldier,"
Everything was silent, except for Nathan and Kiria talking to eachother, and the music playing on the radio. Resting my head against the headrest, I took of my black overcoat, now just being in my white long sleeve shirt and black pants. I then removed my white shirt, and took Kiria anit bactieral bottle. I guess it wouldnt hurt to apply a bit to my chest, seeing as it was pretty painful.
After it had been applyed to my chest, we were almost at the airport. I put on my white shirt, and then the black coat. I took out my submachine gun, and after it had been assembled, I loaded it up. If there was any of those beasts here, they were going down.
Steve parked the car in the airport parking lot, and everybody stepped out of the car. I hid my SMG under my coat, and took out my wallet. I had about 600 dollars. That should be enough for tickets.

[Samchu]

Nathe (just getting into the swing of things)
~~~~

I sighed, looking over at the airport. If there was one thing I hated, it was planes. I just hated the idea off taking off in one of them, once we were in the air I was just fine but the takeoff put me right off. I gulped and Kiria took my hand. It seemed strange that things were like this, sure we'd done missions before but not since we'd been married. It made everything seem a little more...perilous. There was more at stake now than before. More to lose.

Damon brought the tickets inside but we had to wait to be called. It was like they didn't even know about the aliens. None of the flights had been cancelled and everything seemed to be pretty normal. It was kinda freaky actually. You never would have guessed that the President of the Untied States had just been blown up and here we were boarding a plane for Russia in fear of yet another alien invasion.

"So who's paying?" asked Steve.
We had stopped at a bar inside the airport. I really wanted a drink to calm my nerves and it wasn't very often that I got the chance to go out to a bar. So we all ordered something, even Damon but it was probably to help ease his pain. The guy had never really taken to fun.
Steve ended up paying of course, it was one of those things that we had always managed to con him into, and Damon hit the bathroom. He said he wanted to clean himself up. Sounded very un-Damon-like to me. Though, he had been acting kinda strange today...Maybe it was just me.

All this, of course, left me alone with Kiria. Now aliens meant a mission and a mission meant constant work which would of course mean very little time which I could spend with her. I was going to have to take every opportunity I could get my hands on.
I put my arm around her waist and pulled her close. Before she could sya anything I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her softly. I didn't care where we were or who was there. I loved my wife and I never told her that enough. Once this mission started, I wouldn't get to be with her in the ways that I wanted to and I would miss being with her.

"What was that for?"
I shrugged, "call it a spontaneous romantic gesture. To make up for the fact that this mission is going to mean that I can't be with you whenever I want."
Her lips curled into that beautiful smile that I had so often seen. Somehow, it never seemed to grow, only more beautiful. She kissed me back, that tender kiss that was especially for me, the one part of Kiria that I would never have to share with anybody. Good thing too because Kiria was an amazing kissing.

"Am I interrupting anything?" asked a female voice.
Kiria and I laughed, we didn't normally kiss like that with the guys around but it had been fun and we probably wouldn't do it for a while.
We looked up to see Kagura standing there. It was good to see her after such a long time. I don't think I'd spoken to her since the wedding.
I grinned cheekily and pulled Kiria even closer. "Yes you're interupting," I said with a joking tone. "Go and distract Steve so we can sneak out and have some fun."
"Funny Nathe," she said, folding her arms slightly.
I grinned and hugged Kiria before letting her go.
"Good to see you again Kagura," she said with a smile.

Kagura sat down beside Kiria. "So Kiria, I guess you can bench press as much as Nathe now right?"
Kiria laughed, "actually I can do more than he can."
It was the first I'd heard of it. My jaw dropped and I slid down in my seat slightly.
Kiria laughed again, "I'm joking. I've been writing and taking care of Nathe of course, it's left me no time for workouts."
"Yeah I've read some of your work, been meaning to tell you how good it is. You certainly have a way with words."
"Yeah she does," I added. "Especially in the bed-OW!"
Kiria had kicked me hard in the shin. It hadn't hurt that much but it had sure caught me off guard. "Guess it's one of those things I have to secret," I said laughing.
Kagura nodded. "You know, that's probably the best way, Nathe."
Kiria nodded also and laughed, "I'm still working on him. He's not completely housetrained yet."
Kagura laughed against and I deliberately banged my head against the top of my seat. I really needed that drink now...

[Cferra]

Steve
*****************

After going to the bathroom, I made it back to the table with Nate and the crew. Our flight wasn't about to leave for a while. I was still wearing the armor but I left the helmet on the table with the others.

"You know that armor of yours my get some unwanton attention."Nate smirked.

"Nothing like public displays of effection, my friend."I chuckled."You know as well as I do my parents got me this suit."

"There anything about Russia we should know about?"Kiria asked.

"They used to have a super-soldier program too."I explained."Not to mention secret agents, guys wearing archaic tin suits and anything else you can think of. One thing's for sure we have to find out what those aliens want."

"They obviously wanted to kill the president."Damon explained.

"Right."I nodded."So, the government sends us in to find out what's going on. Why couldn't we have contacted our alien allies? I mean we do have an outpost in orbit and interstellar colonies. Why strike the president of a country? I don't think it can just be aliens."

"What could it be?"Nate asked.

"Anyone think the aliens might be framed?"I asked."It's easy to mask a language and set up any of the empires in our cozy corner of the galaxy."

"Are you justifying them?"Damon asked.

"Not at all."I explained."Let's just go in with an open mind and help our allies before we blow E.T.'s head off."

"I'm not so sure.."Nate grumbled."We'll have to wait and see."

I knew he had hard feelings about the aliens. But, we had to find out which aliens did this and why they violated the treaty. We're in an alliance of planets. Did one of the rogue species do this?

Flight 123 to Moscow is now bording at gate 616. All passengers please board now

"That's our cue."I hefted up my shield and we walked to the gate.

[Ghost]

Damon
~~~~~~~~


Oh my fucking head hurt so much. I didn't even drink my beer my head so much. There was just so much commotion going on, and then our boarding call came on.
" There's our cue," Steve said.
" Great. I need a good rest ina airplane. Even though when we get to Russia, the snow is going to make me go crazy," I said,and left my overcoat on the chair.
Kiria and Nate were kissing on the way there ( I'll get into envy reports later) and Steve stood next to me. Kagura was next to Nate. I of course, led the pack, SMG in hand.
As soon as we got to the gate, The person their asked me where our tickets are, but instead, I shot him in the temple, sending him to the ground. We contiuned to walk to the plane, until we finally got on the plane.
I then quickly evacuated everyone on the plane, declaring a state of emergency and told them Russia was not safe and we were part of the CIA and FBI. Everyone cooperated,and I took a seat at the cockpit of the plane next to Steve. I would be co-pilot, and Steve would be pilot.
" I hope you took flying lessons Steve" I smirked.

[Cferra]

Steve
**************

"Of course." I replied.

I couldn't believe Damon shot the guy with no remorse. I could have gotten us out of the ticket hassle. All I had to do was talk to the person and explained the situation. We've essentially hijacked a plane but luckily Damon told people to get off.

"Docking clamps released."I began a check of all systems."Drive unit operational."

I looked back and saw Nathe. He's had a fear of flying since way back We were going skydiving on a mission and something happened with his parachute. The ladies were sitting next to him and he was holding his wife close, like he was holding on for dear life.

"How's the engine core?"Damon asked.

"The coolant has stablized the antimatter and we're good to go."I explained as we drove from the terminal."Nate, we'll get to Russia in no time. This isn't going to be like going from here to Alpha Centauri."

Course, starships had different engines. I always wanted to go into space and to see New York. "Course laid in for Moscow."I chimed in."Hold on, Nate!. Just try to remember that these planes are a lot safer than the ones from the 20th century!"

I disengaged the landng clamps and we were hovering above the ground. It was odd that no one was stopping us. Course that was until...

"Flight 616..."A voice called from the radio."Please respond. The plane was evacuated. What do you think you're doing over there?"

"Flight 616... Please respond. The plane was evacuated. What do you think you're doing over there?"
Steve and Damon sat and looked at eachother. I sighed, went over and grabbed the reciever.
"Doing? Control, we're doing a routine check that evacuation procedures are in order." I lied swiftly, opening the control panel.
"That's not scheduled until next week. And what's that noise? You're not the piolet are you?"
"No, i'm not. Anyway, we have to go now. Sorry about this, we really need to get to Russia." I pulled up a wire from inside and took a pen knife from my pocket.
"Flight 616? What are you doing? Stop what you're doing now!"
I sliced the wire and his frantic attempts at stopping us was over. "Control says 'take off now please'"

[Bulbasaur4]

Hey, I hope you don't mind if I add another character? He or she might be a little... fun twist. Mwhaha... I don't know where I come UP with these twisted ideas! lol

Kiria

Kiria patted Nathan upon the back of his head, " Poor you, getting all antsy."
Nathan sighed... "I hate flying... I hate it I hate it I hat-"
" We're clear for take off!" Kagura said with a little smile upon her face, "Aren't you all excited?" She echoed to Nathan, who only seemed to grow a bit more green in the face at the thought.
Kiria only laughed a little bit, as she adjusted her bag that she had brought along. She sat by Nathan, gazing at the clouds that seemed to buzz by... the world was changing so swiftly, she was only being swept away in the current.

" Things are going to become crazy... aren't they?" Kiria said to no one in particular and Damon seemed to agree.
"Yeah... who knows why these aliens came in the first place. Seems so... out of place to me."
"You don't think... that maybe they had some motive?"
"Motive? What motive?" Nathan said slightly, conversation perhaps taking his mind off things.
"Well... most creatures don't do things with out an asset or motive. They wouldn't try to take over earth... because there are many other planets that are healthier and easier for access. Earth hasn't directly intervened or hurt any alien race yet- which for once is smart. So... my only hypothesis is that they're being paid or being offered some thing of great value to attack us if they are doing it as a race. Unless that one alien was a martyr of some sort..."
Silence insued, and Kiria kept her last thought to herself.
I only hope it isn't japan... based on... history.




Name: Aikan Melvex (That is not his real name)
Age: 21ish
Side: USC - (Russia)
Gender: Male (????)
Weapon: Mainly uses his elegant swift movements, but his weapon of choice other than his feet and hands would be his pin rifle.
Skills: Stealth & Fabrication, Charmer & Medical
Personiality: He's extremely kind and cheerful, the type of person that you would immediatly feel at ease with. Tries to make positive things out of all situations, but yet when it comes to missions etc... he's very good at what he does. Tends to talk to everyone and respects all decisions.
Description: See Attachment - Like that. His body is elegant and he has an elegant and extremely beautiful appearance for a male. His whole appearance seems to have a strong delicate appeal that makes him extremely attractive. He has a gentle touch and his body while muscular, seems graceful. His eyes are a sparkling glitter-blue/green and he usually is seen wearing slightly tight deep blue pants along with a long sleeved black shirt that shows off his appearance nicely. He wears black boots and a silver necklace, and usually his hair is swept backwards in a ponytail for missions but when he's off duty it's hung about. You know Legolas? Imagine that type of feminine-masculine beauty.
History: His history is unknown to anyone. He currently works for Russia and is in allegiance with all American personell. His name is probably heard amongst most high-ranking soldiers in either country, for he's known for his variety of skills upon missions.
Super-Soldier or No: Yes and no- he was altered by Russia.
Relationship: N/A
Other:This won't be found out for a long time, but Aikan is really not a man... but actually a female but in disguise for some reason. He/She is good at coming across as a slightly feminine (yet not homosexual) guy, putting all genders at ease.

~ M ~ Waiting for the plane to arrive at Russian base ~

Aikan waited near one of the Russian planes, out near the runway. It wasn't snowing yet... but forcasts were shown that snow might be oni t's way but it was be much later- the plane should arrive far earlier than that event.
Aikan was dressed a bit differently than most Russians... dark blue jeans that weren't perhaps made for the cold, yet Aikan didn't seemed bothered in the least bit. A long-sleeved shirt was upon his body, made out of a smooth yet almost water-resistant like material... like a scuba-diver suit yet not as tight. Black boots were upon his feet, while his strange brilliant red-auburn hair seemed to whip about lightly against his figure. He obviously was a bit different than most Russians... having a fair more elegant build, different hair color... and even his accent didn't seem Russian. It was smoother, more like soft and dazzling music than the courser Russian dialogue.

The Russian intelligence had recieved word from special agents in the US that the President had been killed. Easily, they then found out that too close to that event... a US plane was taken by 'unknown' means and seemed to be heading towards Russia. Through advanced technologies and help with other US intelligence, they had identified all personell aboard the plane. They knew who it was... and it was a good thing. Russia would have shot them down otherwise... but this was different. This was an emergency... and Aikan was going to be the first to greet them and bring them into the base for an immediate briefing.

I sighed. Why did she have to destroy the radio? How were we supposed to contact the Russian base? Stand on the ship and wave our hands.

"Damon.."I sighed and shot a look at the one who ripped the wires."Fix the radio will you?"

"Okay."Damon replied.

"There were other ways in dealing with this you know and right now it looks like we got company."I explained.

Terrorists were entering the runway area as soon as we began to hover further from the docking ring.

"Beginning Lift off."Damon began."Nathe you hold on to your lunch!"

The ship lifted off and we were airborne. I saw several people down below trying to shoot their phaser rifles at the ship. Luckily I was able to dodge them.

"Phaser rifles don't have the range to shoot down ships."I sighed."What are they thinking?"

"Dunno..."Nathe sighed."J-just get us to Russia, Steve!"

I plotted the course for Moscow and we began to fly there. Damon was hard at work fixing the subspace radio.

"Guys.."I shook my head."You don't just rip things out. We needed the radio and you don't just kill innocent civillians. There's always another way."

I figured everyone was on edge because of the aliens. Course we had to find out what race they were before we did anything. They couldn't have been part of Earth's alliance of planets. We needed to find out who they were, why they attacked the president and why Earth and not the Mars or Luna colonies.

"We should be in Russia soon."I began."As soon as you fix that radio, Damon I want to be able to see our Russian contact's face."

The flight itself was causing me absolute grief without the fact that everyone seemed to be going mad. Taking apart the radio? Shooting an innocent civilian? Terrorists trying to shoot us down!? This was crazy! I clung to Kiria, fear creeping into me as I became assured this ship would crash without question. I put my head against her chest, embracing her just in case Damon lost his temper and blew up the ship as easily as he had shot that man.
I heard Kiria laugh. I was never scared, NEVER - except in a ship. My only time of weakness...

There was fortune, however, in that the radio was fixed quickly and we were able to make contact with our Russian contact who informed us that we would be able to land safely and that an ally would be awaiting us. They were true to their word.

The remainder of the flight was met with few complications and the landing was smooth and easy. We were met by a man named Aiken, who appeared to me to hold some strong feminine resemblances. I should know, I sleep next to one each night.
He politely escorted us inside the headquarters where we were to meet the man in charge. I was just glad to be back on the ground again. So glad in fact, I didn't give a damn what would happen next.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Oh my aching head. Splints made it feel like i was having a heart attack. Some side effects of this serum was random heart attacks, but becuase of this advanced year, heart attacks were able to be stop by injecting a serum made of a roses stem, rosy periwinkle petals, and other random things. I always carried one in front pocket because I 've already had two heart attacks.
We finally arrived at the station, and we were greeted by a weirldy feminime man. 'He' said his name was Aiken. He told us the president wanted to see us. He also told us that he would take the women to a hotel room ( 6-star, he said). Me, Steve, and Nate would go to the president ( he whispered that it was a important mission, we would be gone for a few days)
When we finally reached the office, the president firmly greeted us with a cup of coffee and some liquor. I added the liquor to my coffee, which the president stared at weirdly.
" Alright men, we are going in for a search and rescue mission," He said in his Russian accent. " One of our delta squads went into Japanese terroritory, and they haven't been heard from in a week. Obviously it's not those aliens, so i want you to go in and find where they are." He told us.
" So you want us to go in there casually and get killed?" Nate asked.
" Of course not. Your going to get black stealth suits, which when able, will turn you invisible for up to 20 seconds, and or until the battery runs out. Whichever comes first. You also will be equipped with M29 Camera Assault Rifles with a shotgun and sniper rifle attachment," He told us.
" That sounds better," Damon said, and stood up. |
" Suit up. Your guns are in the changing room. Your plane will arrive in the hour,"

"Just you're typical suicide mission..." I said with a sigh as we exited the presidents office. It was true, this mission was suicide but we were super soldiers, to us this was just supposed to be a challenge. Personally, I didn't approve. They kept going on about how important we were in the coming wars against the aliens and the japs, yet they seemed keen to send us into suicidal situations. I was beginning to believe these guys lived with their brains up their asses.

"Nathe!"
I almost fell over and Kiria hugged me. "I thought you were going to a hotel?"
"I heard they were sending you on a mission. The president's kinda against women going into the field...it'll be me and Kagura all on our own."
I smiled at her. "I'm sure you'll manage."
"It's not that," Kiria replied.
"What is it then?"
She kissed me softly. "I need you to promise you're going to come back because you swore you'd never break a promise to me."
I smiled and took her in my arms. "I promise. Now go have some fun at that hotel. I promise to make the wait up to you when I get back," I quickly added with a wink.

Wishing us luck, Kiria left with Kagura and Aikan and the three of us went to get kitted up. I picked out my gun and suited up, kissing my ring once for luck as I had done so many times. "I'll be back soon..." I whispered quietly. "And I'll be sure to make up for every moment we spend apart."

**************
Our newest mission and here we were risking our lives. I wished I had a girlfriend or a wife like Nate's. I had a girlfriend but Sharon never understood me. Nate said she wasn't good for me anyway. She always wanted me to herself and didn't want me to associate with Nate or Kiria. I couldn't do that.

"Nate."I began as I configured my armor for stealth mode."I'll watch your back and make sure you come back for Kiria's sake. She should have come with us but I think we'll be okay."

With that i clasped Nate on the shoulder and the three of us were lead into the parking garage where the plane would meet us. I noticed Damon taking a shot again. I never understood why he didn't go to the doctor and get it permanantly fixed. Heart attacks were a thing of the past and society is better now with advances in medicine.

"I guess we're going to have to wait a bit."Damon started as he checked his guns.


"Yeah."I nodded. I wasn't sure I could completely trust Damon after the airport incident. How many more innocents were going to die?

I was just very weary of Damon. He couldn't be trusted. Not after the airport incident. I trusted Nathe and Kiria more. I placed my helemt on and pulled down the faceplate.

"Don't you need any guns?"Damon asked.

"I don't need any.."I spoke through my electrical systems."I've programmed several phaser banks into the gauntlets and shoulder pads.

"I'm sure Steve'll be fine."Nate smiled.

"Yeah.."I thought. How fine was I going to be with a lunatic with us?

[Ghost]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obviously, my team did not trust me any more. I could see it in Steve's eyes the most. He was not always very fond of me anyway, but Nate? I was surprised.
The Helicopter landed within 5 minutes and we all stepped on. I sat in the back, listening to a transmission from the President. He said that I was to have full command of my squad ( Nate and Steve)
" Alright bastards, listen up," I said to Nate and Steve, who sat across from me. " The president said that I am allowed full command of this job. So otherwise, if you dont listen, I personally have permission to gun your ass down," I told them. Steve and Nate exchanged looks, and then nodded.
" We'll be in Japan in 4 hours if we dont get gunned down. Try and get some rest," I told them, laid back. If we were going to get through this, they were goin to have to listen.

[Bulbasaur4]

I'll be making a post tomorrow, but I just wanted to note a few things:
Aiken is with you guys on the mission. And most of you have noted 'weirdly feminine' so some thing like that. None of your characters would or should think that, because Aiken- though a beautiful guy (heh...like Leggy or some of those girlish male anime characters... like Yuki! ) - would not arouse suspicion as a woman.

I'll post tomorrow, gotta go..

[Samchu]

OOC: Ok Kalah

Nathe

Of course Damon had been put in charge of our little squadron, Damon had always been put in charge of every mission we'd been on, though that probably wasn' a bad thing seeing as all of us were still alive. Aiken had come along with us and I was beginning to feel that I had thought wrongly of his him, he was very masculine indeed and quite worry...pretty good looking for a guy. The thought made me laugh quietly and I began to wonder what Kiria would think. Ah, Kiria. I was missing her something awful right about now. I hoped she'd be okay, what with that dumb anti-feminist president.

I sat back, playing with my ring and letting my mind drift back to times with her. We'd had some good times, her and I and I loved best to dwell on these because they were my favourite thoughts of her. However, my favourite thing of all, was how beautiful Kiria looked in the moonlight. No sign, on earth nor beyond would ever top that image.
Thinking about Kiria made the flight seem to pass extremely quickly and completely over shadowed my fear of flying. Before I knew it, we were touching down in a remote part of the Japanese boarder, apparently undetected.

The four of us clambered out of the chopper and touched down on enemy soil. It was a strange sensation to be so close to one's enemy and yet to not be able to see it.
I turned to Damon, "so captain, what's our next move?"

[Ghost]

OOC: Alright Kalah. Besides, Damon probably wouldn't of noted that cause he doesnt have a woman to look at all day, other then maybe his secretary.

" Alright men, we are going to need to sneak in from the back. According to thermal views from the president, we have about 4 guards patroling the courtyard and backyard," I said, and drew my gun. I adjusted my bulletproof vest, and then said " Alright, lets get moving,"
We all started moving closer towards the courtyard until we were about 5 meters away. I gave my gun to Nate, asking him to hold it for a minute. I stepped out of the shadows in plain sight. I slowly walked towards him, his back turned towards me. When I was about 2 meters away, he turned around. But I was ready. I turned on the camoflauge, and I almost invisible.
The guard squinted his eyes, thinking of seeing a outline. " What is that?" He walked over to where I used to stand, I stood up behind him. I grabbed his neck, and turned off camoflauge. " How's your day going?" I muttered to him.
" How...How the hell did you do that?"
" You must be going blind," I said, and started to choke him. " Your going to tell me the security inside the building, or you want have another chance to breathe."
He slowly nodded, and I remove my grip, but I was still grabbing him. " There is... about 6 guards in there. We have some hostages too," He struggled to say."
" Thanks," I said, and elbowed him bewteen his neck and shoulder, knocking him out. I dragged his body back to the shadow, and left it there. I then took my gun from Nate, and gave to signal to move on.

[ChobiChibi]

~Kagura~
I sat with Kiria back in the Russian hotel. It was strange not going with them. Sure, i was a woman, but i knew Japan better than the others. I had protested about this earlier. I was made to stay though.
It gave me time to think, i guess. It made me think back to when i was a child. But more importantly, what about Mitsuki? I heard that she headed back to Japan. Why would she want to go back?
I really never knew my sister, so i couldn't really even guess why she went back. She was my twin. Identical. Maybe she was really like me. I don't think i ever asked about her. I remembered the times before i was taken away. We'd play and were dressed the same for the pure amusement of our parents.
I looked over at Kiria. I knew she was worried about Nathe, she always was when stuff like this happened.
"I can monitor them if you want." I offered, nodding toward the computer in the room. "Won't take two minutes to set up..."

[Cferra]

************

The four of us pressed on into the fortress. I didn't like Damon's threat from earlier. He really had to think before he acted before the team got itself into trouble. If only he saw reason. There was no way I could get through that phaser loving nutcase. At least my phasers were always set to stun. I was surprised though that he didn't kill that guard. Soon, I heard voices.

"Shh.."I whispered and turned on my radar."Three more guards are coming."

"Should we jump 'em?"Nate asked.

"No."I mentioned."We're trying to keep a low profile.

As soon as I said that, they noticed Damon's boot in the light and we had no choice but to fight! I turned on my hoverjets in my boots and plowed into the troops.

"Every one get behind me!" I called."My shield can hold us."

We began to press on more but we were soon overtaken. I looked around and I couldn't see Damon anywhere. Nate was fighting next to me but suddenly someone grabbed him and draged him off.

"NAATE!" I shouted.

"We're going to have to regroup and think."I growled to Aiken."I'm not abandoning Nate."

I hated retreating but I had to do it. I then charged my phasers and blasted a whole in the wall, leading to the outside. I took Aiken and we flew a bit outside the compound. There had to be a way to get Nate and Damon back before it was too late.

[Ghost]

~~~~~~~~~~~~


All of the sudden, Nate had taken charge of the gang. I didn't like it, but maybe if I let him I could get him to trust me more. The guards saw my boot, and started firing at us. Nate took the front and rammed them, and everyone else charged ahead. I stayed back, drawing my m29 rifle. I started to equip the Sniper Rifle attachment, when I was grabbed from behind. Just like that other guard was.
" Hello there, friend," He said. His voice was silent, making it so that others couldn't hear . He pulled me into the shadows so no one would see.
" What the hell do you want?" I tried to say. He was choking me hard, and his pistol was up to my head. I felt the cold silencer dig into my temple.
" You and your American friends are here to rescue the delta squad, aren't you?" He said in Japanese. Thanks to Kiria, we taught me some languages in school: Japanese, Chinese, Russian, French, and Porteguese. She was a great friend, and teacher.
" Maybe we are," I said in Japanese.
" Wrong answer," He said, and butted me in bewteen my shoulder and neck, knocking me out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up, I was in my boxers, hanging from a pipe. My hands were handcuffed above a pipe, and they weren't ordinary cuffs, they were phaser cuffs. if you tried to move you hands, your wrists would suffer 3rd degree burns.
I was also hanging above a bathtub, waiting for something. What the hell was I doing here?
I then saw the same man come in, a guard with him. That man came with Nate with him. Nate was obviously knocked out. The man stripped Nate into his boxers, and hung him with phaser cuffs above a bathtub, just like me... and three other people.
I looked at two of the people: They had smoke coming out of there ears. Their chests were totally demolished, dried blood covered every centimeter of there chests, and their heads were looking down. They were obviously dead. But by... Electrocution. They are going to do the same thing to use. Interrogate us until we told them, or until we were dead.
I looked at the third one. He looked exactly like the others, except there was no smoke. When the men weren't looking, he looked up. It was the leader of the Delta squad! So his other two men are dead. The men turned around, and he put his head down again.
The man said to the guard in Japanese to unleash as many batteries as possible until they were dead or leaked information. He also noted, if they tell you, slit there throats after they do.
So me and Nate were going to die. Great. The man left, and the guard looked over at me, putting the battery into the shocker. " You dont have to do this..." I told him. He just laughed, and turned it on. " Please... Dont do it. You know its not- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" My scream filled the room, as the electricity surged through me, causing a huge wound on my chest. Blood started to pour down my chest, boxers, and finally into the bath water.
Nate looked away in disguist.
" Tell me the information American, or else I will unload more on you," He said in Japanese once again.
" Come on... Get me out of this and I will tell you- AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed again, the shocker right on the previous wound, making it go enough deeper into me. Blood started to pour down me again.
" Are you going to confess now?" He asked, getting ready to shock again.
I was weak now. I could hardly breath, none the less talk. "No.. You bastard.."
" Wrong answer," He said, and charged it up on me. He kept the shocker on me for five minutes, moving it all around my chest. My screams filled the entire room, and finally the battery died. My chest was demolished. There was nothing left, only blood poured down. Luckily super soldiers were alot better then average people. They had much more blood then average, and there system was able to run without blood for atleast 30 minutes before dying.
The guard went into a small room, and caused me to wait an hour until he came back out with a new battery. Before he came back, I told Nate to be strong, and dont tell him anything. The blood had dried onto me, and some blood still poured down.
" I'll finish you later," He said. I sighed with relief. " It's your friends turn," He said, and move over to Nate. I closed my eyes. This wouldn't be pretty.

[Bulbasaur4]

Kiria

Kiria was immediately a bit angered by the Russian ways of not allowing Kagura or herself to go with the other four. Everything had been so strange... firstly, the new man- Aiken, Kiria saw him and immediately she had felt at ease. He had been so nice to Kagura and Kiria... a true gentleman, as he had led them to the hotel.
" You'll know that there is a computer in the hotel." He said, and Kiria didn't think until now that perhaps that was a clue.


"Yeah, I'd like that." Kiria said softly, looking to Kagura with a smile. "We can make sure that they're alright."






Aiken-

Aiken had followed them, and naturally with his usual social instinct he realized that he perhaps should remain quiet. He sensed a bit of tension between the three, despite how close they seemed. As soon as they seemed to penetrate the base however... disaster occured.
They had to fight, and the one named Steve had ordered them behind his shield. Aiken had followed suit, although he had a few of his own capabilities with some of his extras, but he didn't see the need to bring it up now.
Yet... Nathe and Damon were taken.


Steve and Aiken regrouped outside of the base, and Steve made it clear that he wasn't going to leave anyone behind.
"Of course not." Aiken responded, his smooth European-like accent coming through as he narrowed his eyes while gazing at the building. His crimson-brushed hair was swept up into a ponytail, but with the black cap over his head you could only see but a mere strand of it in front of his green eyes.
" Hang on a second..." Aiken stated lightly, reaching into the pack about his waste and pulling out a strange pair of sunglass-like goggles. He put them about his head, and gazed at the base. Heat signatures were everywhere... but like he thought, there were two and a few others that stood out. Human body temperatures were the same, but with in ever nationality there often were differences. Height was a factor as well.
" I see Damon and Nathe... they are being together alone with perhaps a few other prisoners. They seem to be being held upon the basement floor upon the northern side." Aiken stated, taking off his goggles and putting them back away.
" If we are to go inside, we're going to have to swing through the southern enterance instead... that's where the less amount of guards are now. I suggest we use our stealth to get inside and let our presense not be known until after we at least get one of them back. Our suits may be invisible for only a short period of time... but there is another option."
Aiken pressed a button to his side and instantly his body seemed to shift. It was like he was invisible... but instead he was blending into the surroundings that he moved about in. Aiken gave a smile as he patted Steve upon the shoulder.
"Don't worry, we'll get them back."

[Samchu]

I cried out in pain, cursing frequently. I must have used about 18 different languages I think, just repeating a few curses that Kiria had used in the past. I just kept thinking of her and praying that this would end. It seemed to drag out forever, the experience was much crueler than watching and I was quickly becoming much worse looking than Damon. Though he had always been the stronger one. The guard began to connect up a second battery, looks like he wanted to put the damn thing through me all over again. My luck sucked so bad.

"Hey...what about me?" Damon tried to call out to the guard in Japanese but he wasn't listening. He seemed pretty confident that I was gonna be the first to crack...either way I'd be the first to die.
I watched the clock on the wall, watching as the hands moved at a snail's pace until another hour had finally passed. He was moving on to a third battery when the wall beside us exploded.

Through the rubble I could make out nothing and the guard was quickly disposed of before Steve and Aiken appeared.
"About sodding time..." groaned Damon. The break had let him regain a ltitle of his strength.
I could no longer muster words.
Steve and Aiken got us down, both our wrists badly burnt from the cuffs. A few guards came and Aiken shot them down. Damon mentioned to Steve that the leader was still alive and Steve helped him down too.

They took whatever they could find to keep Damon and myself from dying on the way back. We'd made a bet part way through, first to die loses and we both hated to lose.
We had to help each other make it back through to the chopper, we had to plan our moves carefully as not to be caught and re-captured. I would rather die than go through that ordeal again. We pulled through though, of course we did, we were super soldiers, we didn't fail.

Safely back on the chopper, a medic began to patch up Damon, myself and the rescued leader. Damon made a few comments about the Japs and how he dispised them. He always made me laugh.
"Hey Damon...never did...tell ya...that thanks...for saving my life..."
He smirked, "make it up to me later...buy me a drink...or give me your wife..."
I shot him a quick look. "At this...point...you'll be...lucky...if...I don't...kill ya..."

Then everything went black...

~~~~~~~~~~

I slowly woke up, and sat up from where I was. I actually wasn't anywhere, to make I point. I was standing in the middle of a pit of black nothingness, with only my pants and combat boots on.
I tried to stand up, but it was diffucult. Pain was searing through my legs, and espically in my chest. I was, in time, able to stand up, but my legs couldn't support me, so I fell back down onto my back.
I sat back up, and looked around. There was nothing. I could probably run forever, and never find a stop point.
I stared back down at my body. What the hell happened in there? It was all just a blur. One second, I was fighting, then some man grabbed me, and I was then hanging from a pipe, being electrocuted. God really wanted to fuck up my life, didn't he? I mean, why did I even introduce Kiria to Nate? Why did my mom send me to become a Super Soldier? Why the hell did I need everything to be perfect?
I was starting to try to stand up again, when all of the sudden, my surrondings turned into military camp. Ah fuck no. The chief of the project sent me and Nathan to a boot camp because we were 'unruly'
I was now sitting next to Nathan, and a bunch of other soldiers. They weren't super, like us, but they were just normal soldiers, hoping to join the USMC.
" Hey Damon, guess what?" Nathan whispered to me.
I looked next to me. I saw Nate again, but he was fifteen, and I was still my present age. Only know, I was wearing my marines uniform. " What day is it of boot camp?"
" Well, today is... the 2nd day, I think?" Nate replied.
The second day huh? This is the day Nate told me about Nate and Kiria for the first time.
" Well, I have to tell you this, but me and Kiria have been going out for a while. About three months, actually." He told me.
" I bet," I said back, watching the instructor.
" Me and her went to 2nd base a few days before we left for boot camp."
" You probably took her to home you slut," I said back, smirking. Nate just blushed, and shut up. The commander then told us to shut the hell up, and get on the shooting range.
After me and Nate ahad finished, I sat back down.
Then, all of the sudden, I was in the black void again.
Obviously, this had to be some kind of a game. I mean, vanishing and appearing is not normal. Wait... It was obviously a dream. I mean, I could have anything I want happen, and it would.
But before anything else could happen, everything started to fade....

~~~~~~~~~

I woke up . Obviously I was in a hospital bed, and I was in a room. I looked over, and saw Nate. Kiria and Steve sitting next to Nate's bed. Kagura was no where to be found. She probably had gone to the bathroom. Aiken sat right next to me.
I looked over at him, and said " What the hell?..."
" The Russian President wants to see you when you have recovered." He said back.
" When I have recovered? Bullshit. I have recovered" I said, and stood up. I had tape all over my chest, and it kept my chest in place. Yet the bandages were red.
I slowly walked to the presidents office, with Aiken following me. " are you sure your alright?" He asked.
" Crystal," I said, and pushed open the doors.
" Ah, I zee your here, Damon," The president send. Aiken stood at the door.
" In the flesh," I muttered. I wasn't feeling that well right now.
" Anyways, I need you to go on another mission. Only this time, I want only the women going, not you guys. USC tells me that the remains of Italy are being used for a secret japanese camp. I want them to go there. Of course Damon, you will be took as a escort." The president said.
My eyes widened in shock. Another suicide mission? " Alright then, I guess so," I muttered, trying to take my eyes off the televison.
" Go tell Kiria and Kagura to get ready. Aiken, you will also be accompanying them," He told Aiken. Aiken nodded. " Your plane will arrive in three hours. Your combat suits are in the changing room, as well as your guns" The president said.
I nodded, and went to tell the women.

Three hours was enough time to recharge my armor's powercells. When we got to the hospital I had taken it off and I was in my standard gold and black security uniform. The uniform was that of Star Command. I had been thinking of signing up before Damon and the others came and we went on this mission. I was going to join up with the USS Merrimack as cheif of security.

I think noticed Kiria and Nate looking at me in my uniform. Nate seemed rather

"Star Command?"Nate asked."Why are you in that uniform?"

"Nate."I replied."I was going to join up with the USS Merrimack the day you guys came to the house. Admiral Sisko called me the night before and offered me a spot. I was going to tell you guys today but we got caught up in this mess. That and a medical scan they took found something interesting about my dad."

"Oh yeah?"Nate asked.

"My dad wasn't human. He was humanoid though. Star Command isn't sure of the race but I look human."I explained. "I mean I obviously don't have spots, antennae, bone ridges and a thirst for honour and profit like most of the races in the Confederation."

"This is kinda over my head right now..." Nate said with a sigh. "He must have been of a very human-like species. Hey, at least some clue is better than none, hey buddy?"

"Yeah."I nodded."But, it'd be best not to tell Damon. I dunno how he'd react. Sorry I didn't tell you or Kiria sooner. I just found all this out yesterday."

"It's okay."He smiled.

I felt my neck and felt a gill slit that wasn't there this morning. I raised my eyebrow. Why did alien traits start showing up now?

"Maybe we'll get into space someday and I can find out. I hope you and the others don't think less of me because I'm not full human. I still want to know about the heroes of legend though."

I listened as Steve told us about what he had discovered about his father. Just me and Kiria were there, Kagura had disappeared to the bathroom and Aiken had gone with Damon for a meeting with the president. I foresaw more 'good' news. Kiria was by my side the whole time, holding my hand. They were using this machine to keep my chest together, Damon was lucky, he just needed the bandages. Lucky bugger could still walk, who knows how long I was gonna be stuck here.

"Got some new news," said Damon. He came in, accompanied by Aiken and Kagura joined us moments later. "The president wants me and Aiken to escort the two ladies over to italy. The Japs are supposedly using what's left as a base. The plane's arriving in three hours, best start getting ready."

I gripped Kiria's hand tightly, "I don't want you to go Kiria." It was true, I didn't want her going. I mean, look what happened to myself and Damon, I didn't want Kiria getting hurt.

"Don't worry Nathe," said Damon, "Aiken and I will be acting as escorts." If it was supposed tp put me at ease, it didn't work. I didn't want her to leave, I didn't want her anywhere near those Japs. I was so afraid for her.

She smiled sweetly, touched my face softly and kissed me. "I'll come back alive, don't worry. I can take care of myself."
"I know...Take it easy okay? You too Kagura."
"Will do."
Kiria laughed. "We'll be back. Get well soon okay?"
"Okay."
Then Damon and Aiken took them out of the room. I sighed and Steve patted me on the shoulder, "Don't worry buddy, they'll be back. They'll make it safe and sound."

[ChobiChibi]

~Kagura~
"I guess there won't be much of the mumbo Italiano while we're there..." I said, mostly to myself, as we changed into the combat gear. I was a little puzzeled. I knew that Nathe and Damon were injured, but why weren't we all going? This was all a little odd. If there were Italiens left then Kiria would be able to communicate with them. Maybe i could fool the Japs into thinking i was one of them... It wouldn't be too hard. I mean, i had the heritage and everything...
I soon found out that was what they had intended me to do when i stepped out of the changing rooms. The others were in the standard american uniform. I looked down at mine and noticed the Japanese flag.
"I guess i'm going undercover then?" I asked Damon, pointing at it.
He nodded. "It wasn't my decision. This is what you have to do..."

~Mitsuki~
Italy had definatly shrunk. The few Italiens that had survived, including the Pope, had been held hostage.
I lurked in the corridor, as i often did. I gained news this way by listening into the conversations of my peers. They were so stupid sometimes. What if there was a spy or something around?
"Apparantly some Americans are headed our way."
My ears perked up at this comment. I followed the pair who happened to be talking about it.
"They'll be no match for us."
"I've heard they're super soldiers. I'm not sure though. It's a rumor going around a few of the higher positioned people. I just happened to over hear them. I doubt it will be. They just attacked Japan directly. They'll need to re-group."
I stopped. Super soldiers. My sister. I'd forgotten about her. She always got what she wanted. She was the specail one. I was always second best. This would change... 12 years since i heard from her last. Even then she didn't care. I had to prove i was better.
I continued to walk the corridors, deep in thought. Maybe this would work to my advantage...

Masumi
~~~~~

I walked steadily towards Sadano's office, my heavy boots clunking against the floor as I walked. He'd asked me to report our discoveries from the interrogation session and I wasn't sure how he'd take the news that there had been none. i could foresee some low ranking grunt getting shot today, with any luck.
I knocked on the solid door with my fist and entered, head held high. The superior disproved of any signs of weakness. "Sir?"
"Masumi, what did the gurads discover?"
I approached the desk cautiously. "Nothing sir. Neither Nathan nor Damon gave us any information."

I saw his expression darken greatly at the news. "They interrogated Damon?"
"That's what I've been told."
His fist slammed onto the desk, denting its wooden frame slightly. "I told them not to! I wanted to deal with him myself!"
"They interrogated Nathan as well. They used up three batteries."
"Was Damon in the same room?"
"Yes sir."
He sighed, wiping his face slowly. "Imbeciles...I told them to keep the two seperated. Nathan will never say anything if Damon's there."
I frowned slightly, "I'm not sure I understand."

Sadano sat back in his chair. "Nathan and Damon have always competed with one another. They've always tried to best each other in everything. If Damon's around you will never get a word out of Nathan, you probably won't be able to kill him. That's why I wanted him interrogated alone. Morons!"
I nodded understandingly. "I'll see that the ones responsible are dealt with."
"Good. But now we must prepare, we are to catch a plane for Italy."
"You want me to go as well sir?"
"Yes. Come now, I'll let you in on the details on the way."



Nathan
~~~~~

I talked to Steve about his new information about his father. I think he was starting to get the impression that he was some kind of alien but I wasn't bothered by that. Steve was just that, Steve, and no matter what he'd always be my friend.
"Steve, buddy. Whatever you discover about yourself, I just want you to know that you'll still be my friend. And maybe you are some kinda alien, but that'll be pretty cool probably."
Steve smiled, "thanks dude. But I think I just grew some gills."
I could tell he was serious but I laughed anyway. "Looks like the good times are just beginning," I said jokingly.

Steve laughed as I began to sit up, I couldn't stay in this damn bed any longer. I was getting bored outta my mind.
Steve helped me to the hotel, where I picked up my sketchpad and some pencils. Not very many people knew that drawing was a hobby of mine. However, no one had ever seen inside my art book, not even Kiria had been granted that privalige because my art was so personal. Of course, most of it WAS pictures of Kiria but there were some other images - like sceneries and buildings and whatever random stuff I could think of.

Steve and I sat on the balcony with a couple of beers and looked out over the Russian landscape. I kept my sketchpad close incase I spotted something of interest but at the moment I was much more pre-occupied with worrying after Kiria. I prayed she stayed safe.
Steve saw how I looked at gave me a little punch on the arm, "they'll be fine."
I smirked. "I know. By the way, thanks for saving my ass back there. Dunno how many more of those batteries I would have been able to survive."

[Cferra]

Steve
*************

As I sat on the balcony, I thought about what I was becoming. What member of the Confed was I turning into? My mom never spoke much about my dad and she died trying to reach his people. She was a captain in Star Command. Fully decorated after the war with the Collective.

I remembered attending the ceremony that made her an admiral after the war. She was so happy. Nate was there with me as was Kiria. We watched as she left for space since she got a position near the Orias cluster.Nate and I toured the ship and that's when I knew I wanted to join Star Command.

I sipped the beer looking at the sun setting.

"Nate?"I asked."You ever think about space? About the races in our galaxy? Traveling to the farthest reaches of the new fronteir? Can you imagine how much we've learned in just eight hundred years of space exploration?"

"Of course. I wanna be out there, cruising through space at the speed of light. It's one of my dreams."Nate smiled.

"Some day it'll happen."I smiled back. "But, I will probably have to tell Damon sooner or later. He's gonna notice the gills or anything else changing. If I were to hazard a guess I think my alien DNA is reasserting itself since I was augmented with enhanced human DNA."

"It would make sense. I'm sure Damon'll be cool about it. If not, you could always punch his lights out. I wouldn't stop you." Nate said jokingly.

"I.."I began to feel a bit weak. Which was odd for me or anyone who was augmented."Nate..I think I better get to a Star Command hospital!"

I was holding onto the railing and feeling strange. The alien DNA was reasserting itself again and a pattern of spots were forming on my hands and arms.

"N-nate?! Now would be a good time to tell D-Damon.."At that point, I felt faint and collapsed.

[Samchu]

Nathe
~~~~~

"Steve? Yo Steve you okay?" The guy wasn't moving. I leant over and tried to pick him up but i was still so weak from before. I could barely walk on my own. I grabbed the railings and carried Steve through the room with the help of every innanimate object I could find. I couldn't believe this, seemed like all hell was breaking loose around her. Me and Damon get tortured, Steve's 'alien' genes are going out whack. It's chaos.

I somehow managed to get Steve to the hospital where hey could scan him properly and discover what was going on with him exactly. I could see his gills much more clearly now and he had some strange spots appearing on his skin. I figured something must have changed dramatically for him to pass out. It was something that Steve did easily.

I saw hundreds of different people at the hospital. Some were very lizard-like with red scales and beady lizard-like eyes. There were others with strange ridges on their noses but all of them were wearing similar uniforms. A passing doctor sent us quickly to a room where a female doctor was waiting. She was wearing a blue uniform, increadibly similar to Steve's.

After a quick look over Steve she explained that his augmented genome was starting to break down, which to me didn't make all that much sense.
"How long ago was he infused with human DNA?" she asked.
I shrugged, "since he was very young." I wasn't sure, I knew even less about Steve's past than he did.
"When did he start showing signs of his alien heritage?"
I shrugged again, "a couple of hours ago. He said he could feel gills."

The doctor typed some things into her computer and told me that Steve's mom had attempted to make him more human at an earlier stage in his life to get him to forget about his father. It sounded a little warped to me.
"What can we do?" I asked.
"Well...augmenting half alien DNA with human DNA is ilegal but we will be able to get him some help. My advice is that he be teleported to Starbase Washington in high orit over Earth immediately."
"How long will he need to be there?"
"Only a few hours."
Good, I thought, We'll be back for when Kiria and the others get back.

"Alright, let's get him out of here. One transportation for two, if you don't mind."

[Bulbasaur4]

Kiria

Kiria had assembled into her uniform- a black shirt with faded blue jeans and her hair was upswept into a ponytail. She had a small pouch about her waist, the pouch towards her hip as she glanced at the others. Kagura had dressed as a Japanese, Damon and Aiken as Americans, and Kiria...
"Kiria, you're not in your uniform." Aiken stated in his matter-of-factly tone, which some how made Kiria laugh. For some reason... some thing about Aiken put her at ease. She felt like she could trust him and rely on him a lot... but of course, she felt the same trust to Damon. He was her best friend afterall.
" You're shirt seems a bit too skin tight." Damon retorted, a smile upon his face as Kiria laughed.
" Well, with my dark hair and language abilities, I think I can pass as an Italian. They are being repressed, but there still are a few who are in league with the Japanese. I did a little quick guided look and most of them dress informally but all wear black- very smiliar to the Japanese to show a sign of alliegance. With Kagura here, I'll look like her partner."
They seemed to accept it, and Kiria gave a nervous sigh.

"Don't worry Kiria, I won't let anything happen to you." Damon said lightly, placin ghis hand upon her shoulder. She gave a light smile, looking at him.
"I know... I'm just a bit nervous. Everything has happened so rapidly as of late... it's just hard to get used to. It's like everything is changing from what I used to know."

Aiken

Aiken waited exactly five minutes for the others to talk amongst themselves as they slowly walked to their 'boarding' area. Damon and Kiria were talking while Kagura was walking alongside Aiken.
" Wait... this isn't the way to the plane." Kagura stated in a rather surprised tone, to which Aiken gave a soft nod.
" Oh yes. I might have forgotten to mention... we're not going by plane. We're going by Czechics."
Blank expressions formed upon their face, as Aiken gave his reassuring smile. He had taken his hair down, since they weren't in italy yet... letting it flow about his shoulders gently as it gleamed in the light. His light eyes reguarded them all softly as he gave a nod.
" They're like submarines, except incredibly faster and they have stealth cloaking technology far behind any airplane. The Japanese will not be able to detect us what so ever, because the water helps magnify and scramble the cloaking signal. We'll have safe passage there... it's just once we get out of it which will be tricky. But I suspected you already knew that."

Aiken soon approached the door and instantly unlocked it, and soon they came to an inclosed room with a huge circular water hole with it. A sleek, silvery submergable boat was in the center, reflecting the soft bits of light from it's surface. It was a beautiful figure... and a few soliders gave them a good luck sign. Aiken gave a nod, and instantly he seemed to leap from off of the boarding area and onto the silver machine. Clicking a few of the numbers, instantly the hatch opened and allowed enterance from the top.
" Ladies and Damon first." Aiken said with a smile.

[Cferra]

Steve
**************

I could feel the anti-matter stream teleporting me somwhere. It was very tingly and warm. I began to hear voices, too.

"Steve wake up!"

"Computer..run a level six diagnostic on the patient."

"Nurse Ferrara, I'm going to need 14 ccs of hydrocortizone."

"What are those bumps over his eyes?"I heard Nate asked as I came to for a bit. The hydrocortizone seemed to have revived me.

"I'm Dr. Dana Belar. "a beautiful woman with raven black hair replied."You're going to be okay in a couple hours. Your DNA has to be resequenced. I'm afraid you'll have to lose the augmentations."

"For those of us who are normal? What the heck does that mean?" Nate asked.

"Your friend isn't going to be artifically enhanced any more." another voice came in. He spoke with a british accent and wore a command uniform."Commander Bruce Smythe. I command this station."

"I'm going to be half human and half.."I began.

"Alarian."the commander replied."We've made first contact a few days after your mother's death. Such a tragic end too. I suspect those bumps on your head will be antennae soon. Alarians have blue skin but I suspect that you'll still have your human skin tone."

"Woah." Nate replied.

"Well, let's get it started."I responded."The sooner I am de-augmented the better."

"Very well."the doctor smiled as she used a small handheld device over me and injected a serum into my bloodstream.

Seconds later I was feeling a lot better. The doctor did another scan of my systems.

"It's going to take a few more days but you'll be half Alarian in that time. The augmented DNA was removed."the doctor explained.

"Can't wait to explain this to Damon." I smiled.

"Who would have thought that your mother, a respected admiral would do something so illegal."

"It takes all kinds, Bruce."the doctor nodded.

The doctor then looked at me and smiled."You're going to need to rest here a couple hours and you sir..Well, we could patch you up too if it isn't too much trouble."

[Ghost]

Damon Castle
~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, atleast I had two people who trusted me. But this whole submarine thing was creeping me out. I never did like submarines, I had to work on one with Nate once, and it exploded when we got shot by a missle. Everyone died except me and Nate.
" Kiria, this ship doesn't feel right. Like... Something bad is gonna happen to us when we get there. It's just... I'm gonna have to protect you, cause if you get hurt, I know Nate will kick my ass." I said, and drew my sniper. I loaded it up, making sure that the chamber was full, and nothing was jammed.
" Damon, we'll be all right. I promise you, we won't get hurt." Kiria said, and gave me a hug. It instantly made everything feel alright, and I went to the front of the sub. We were going to be ready to leave in less then five minutes.
The pilot of the sub gave me 8 different pieces. One that would go in your ear, one in the inside of your mouth. I walked around to everyone, putting it in their ears, and instructed them to put it on the inside cheek of their mouth.
About Three hours in, we reached the Suez Canal. It would only be another hour or so before we reached Italy. I still didn't feel very comfortable, but with my sniper support, I could keep them safe.

Nathe
~~~~

"You can seriously patch me up?"
"Of course we can. If you would like us to do so," she said kindly.
I smiled gratefully, "of course. I'll catch you in a bit Steve," I added as they led me to a seperate medical room.

****************************

A short while later, Steve and I began a gentle walk. We had to cover some 'rest' time before we were allowed back to Earth. I was very eager to see Kiria again, I had a strange feeling that something was going to go pear shaped, as long as it didn't go bad I didn't care. I just wanted Kiria and my friends to come back safely.

I relished in my easy breathing. It was so releaving to be able to breathe easy once again, my chest had been in such agony before. Damn Japs, coulda killed me that could and if that had happened I would have broken my promise to Kiria and I would have completely let her down.

We stopped beside a window looking out towards the starship dock. We stood silent, watching the ships pulling in to dock. I wonderer what Steve was thinking about, I knew he'd been looking forward to following his mother's footsteps.

Just then, I heard a sound from behind me and we both turned to see the commander standing there. It appeared that he had something important to say to us.

[Cferra]

Steve
*************

Nate and I were watching several ships docking. The ships were classic Confed designs with saucers and stardrive engines. Some had long cylinder shaped bodies that had crew quarters, labs, rec rooms and the ilk. I saw the USS Merrimack being worked on. I was going to be on that ship if we didn't have this mission.

"Cadet Rohjaz." the commander approached Nate and myself.

"Commander Smythe?"I stood at attention.

"At ease before you sprain something."the old man smiled as I relaxed a bit."So, what were you doing in Moscow? Investigating the murder of President Mansfield?

"Yes, sir."I replied."The Russian government also asked us if we could investigate some matters concerned rogue Japanese groups on Earth. A few of our friends are hot on the trail of something in Italy."

"Well."the commander put his hands behind his back. "Tell your commander that Star Command will be willing to work with him in finding the aliens. The Confederation council is meeting to deal with the factionalized supersoilder groups in Japan. I'll provide you with all the information you require."

"Thank you, sire."I replied and shook his hand.

"As a side note, Steve."the commander's tone softened."I am deeply sorry about your mother. She was a fine officer. It saddens me knowing that she broke Confederation law."

"I know, sir."I sighed. "Now I get to see what I really look like."

"Take this."the commander handed Nate and I silver comm badges that serve as communications devices.

"Thank you, sir."I nodded."I'm still technically in the super-soldier program. I have this mission to carry out but I should be fine with my armor and whatever talents I can do."

Nate was his usual quiet self and waited to speak after the commander left. I looked over at the ship again. Worker bots were assembling the drive unit to the Merrimack. It was going to leave spacedock next week and head out toward the unknown.

"Isn't she beautful?"I looked out the window.

"Wha?"Nate looked around."I don't see any ladies here and besides I'm married."

I grinned."The ship, my friend. Come on. I think we better get back to Russia."

I walked a bit and saw Nate tilthis head at the ship. "That's a lady?" I grabbed his arm and we walked a bit to the elevator.

"Transporter deck."I called to the computer.

The elevaor came alive and seconds we arrived at another deck of the station. There was a long hallway filled with doors on either side. These were the transporters and hatches to the escape pods.

"Which room will we use?"Nate asked.

"Nathe, it won't matter. The transporter will send us to the locker room where my armor is."I explained."Let's go."

An electronic door opened and I walked to a terminal and set the coordinates.

"We could appear next to Damon if we wanted to?"Nate asked.

"Yup."I nodded."But, we have to meet them at the redevous point in east Russia. Computer, Energize."

The computer instantly transported us to the locker room instantly. I saw my armor and I wondered what I was going to do now that I weasn't technically a supersoldier any more. How was I going to explain to Damon that I was half-alien.

"Now I suppose I got to figure out what I'm gonna do with my life."I explained."I'm gonna be a officer. I already have Acadamy training sand the rank of cadet. What am I gonna do now, Nate? I've lost what made me a supersoldier and that was killing me. Turns out I am half Alarian and my mom tried to hide that by getting me genetically enhanced and it's illegal to alter hybrids."

I saw a mirror and looked into it. My skin was spotted and the antennae were slowly growing.

"I suppose while we wait we can go to a library and look up Alaria."I smirked.

[Bulbasaur4]

Kiria

" Everyone off!" Aiken said lightly, walking towards the enterance as he opened the hatch. Damon was the first to go after Aiken, and then Kagura and Kiria went last. They all found that they were seemingly standing on nothing, right next to a bank. Aiken jumped off, turning about.
"It's there even if you can't see it. Just jump off."
So one by one, everyone jumped off.

"If we're going to infiltrate their main base, it's directly ahead in one of the outskirt cities. There." Aiken pointed towards a few dim lights, for it was now dark. Kiria seemed to shuffle nervously, watching as their 'vehicle' seemed to bubble back below the water. Damon walked ahead, "I'll lead."

Aiken seemed to humbly fall in suit, along with Kagura and Kiria. They slowly trudged along in the darkness, but then suddenly Kagura spoke up.
"Wait... if this is going to work, I should be leading along with Kiria. You two are Americans, remember?" Aiken stopped, glancing offly at Kagura who shook her head. "Not literally." Aiken smiled and gave a nod, "Yes, you two should lead."

So Kiria and Kagura went to the front of their little group as they approached the city.
"I'll translate the Italian, and if the guys need to know what the japanese are saying, I'll translate that too. You should handle all the direct contact with the Japanese, and it wouldn't seem right if you were translating. They might get suspicious."
Kagura nodded, "Yes... but won't they understand that you were telling them things in American?"
Kiria hesitated... "True. Hey Aiken!" Aiken reguarded both of them with his brilliant eyes of green, "Yes?"
"Do you know any languages?"
Aiken nodded, "Russian and Greek."
"Perfect, Japanese wouldn't study Greek. They're not very concerned with Greece anyway. AIken, I'll translate what they said in Greek if needed and then you can tell Damon in English."
"Thanks." Damon said sarcastically, and Kiria just smirked.

"Aww... your so sweet for going with my little plan." Kiria said in an overly-innocent voice, giving a wink.
"Here we go..." Kagura said under her breath, as they approached the city.

[Ghost]

Damon
~~~~~~~


As we approached closer to the city, I thought some things. What if Sadano were here? What we would have to do then? Could I take him out with a sniper shot?
We all were right near the edge of the city. " Alright, I'm going to split across from the group. I'm going to be on top of the water tower, and I will have my sniper ready incase anybody comes. Just have Aiken radio me what they say," I said, and took my sniper off my back.
" Why?" Kiria asked.
" Well, a guy with a stealth suit and a fully loaded sniper isn't exactly going to be welcome inside a japanese camp," I told her. " Anyways, good luck. Remember, even if you can't see me, I am there." I said, and I started to walk to the west, near the water tower.
Of course, when I got close to the tower, there had to be a guard there. I took out my sniper, and turned on electruction mode. I set it to ' incapicate' and fired at the guards head. He sat there for a few seconds, and fell to the ground.
I then climed up the ladder, and moved the guards body out of the way. " One shot could end this war," I said, and crouched, zooming my sniper where the group would go.

[Samchu]

Nate

"Steve, you're worrying way too much about what Damon thinks. What he thinks isn't really important, this isn't gonna change my view of you and I doubt any of the others will care - heck it'll probably make Kiria even more interested in you, so I'll be keeping an eye out," I told him with a smirk.

"Thanks man."

We headed towards the library and I caught sightof an interesting high-tech room along the way. The door outside was labelled 'Satelite room' but in truth that wasn't a very helpful description. "Steve, what do they do in this room?" I asked.

"It's an observation room. They use it to see events anywhere on Earth."

As soon as he said that, I was inside, looking around. There had to be a screen somewhere that would show me what Kiria was up to, I was so worried. I kept praying that she would come back alive, I was praying my balls off right then. I saw a screen hovering over Italy and asked someone to zoom in for me. They were reluctant until Steve showed up but then we were finally able to zoom in enough to find Kiria. I was so relieved to see her.

"Track her, track her as best you can. I'm sorry Steve, I know how important this is to you but Kiria's important to me. I have to make sure nothing goes wrong."
