The Battle Of Halitheyyya

Halitheyyya was where I trained to become a soldier of the Unity Empire — and on one fateful day, with rifle in hand, ready to shoot upon a set of targets on the firing range; my buddy at my side turned to speak…

BLAM!

My face was covered in a warm substance, my eyes closed out of reflex. I knew what it was yet I sent a hand across my face and opened my eyes.

‘Blood’, I thought.

On the ground lied my buddy, his head strewn by, what I had glimpsed, a green beam. Smoke wisped from the area of impact, it had been blown to bits and the man’s blood soaked into the sun-lit snow. I ran for cover whilst other soldiers in the vicinity did the same, whereas others legged it to the main base. Unfortunately, a select few were shot. Alarms rang, sirens howled and the commanding officers all began to bellow orders. I edged my head round the corner to glare at wherever this sniper was. No sniper stood in sight, only snow and rocky outcrops…and fighters. A swarm of them soared down and fired a barrage of plasma upon us and the base. The AA guns became the first defense to fall. Explosions filled the air and shook the ground. Then, from the last wave of fighters, my eyes lifted and fixed onto a singular object. A massive starship came and broke through Halitheyyya’s atmosphere. A kind of vessel I had never seen before, no one had at that time. More fighters spawned out from that thing, so many waves.

The Seven Lords of Draako

“Lilish, go find Thex. He wants you to go over the hill with him”

“Again?”

“Yes — now pick up your tail and go, and may the seven lords guide you both”

“Yes, mother”

The little reptilian girl did what she was told, she picked up her tail and roamed about the place, packed her things into a bag…double checked to see if she had everything.

“My necklace!”

The little girl picked up her necklace of stone and crystal off from her bed. She had laid it there, earlier. She checked again; food, drink, cowls, binoculars, map and the necklace.

“Good, got everything”, she thought. Then proceeded outside where a bright sky became too much for her sight to handle.

Lilish raised a hand to give her eyes a moment to adjust. A warm, soft sky greeted her, where two suns hovered and gave there light to lush land she stood on.

A shadow climbed over her, blotted out the suns, and gave her eyes respite.

A Night On Casanova

“Plea…”

BANG!

The man’s head exploded in a flash of green light. His body slumped to the ground. His killer holstered the silver gun he had discharged.

“God dammit!”

He searched the man’s body and found security access card, although he wasn’t certain what for. He tapped away on his wrist-pad. Before he could do a call it glitched, again. He never had an issue till now. Soon enough it fixed itself.

“It’s Bett…the target didn’t even say anything. He just fucking begged. Only thing I got was an access card…keep it? Oh, so he was a computer specialist assigned to the vault?Anyhow, do you have any more leads?”

Bett spoke to his benefactor, one that sounded like a man, yet with a feminine undertone — it was ambiguous. He couldn’t figure out which. That wasn’t the important thing, however. Being paid was. Here in the far reaches of space, this could be his biggest payment by a million (literally).

“Scarlet? Nova bomb? Redlight dis — yes I’ve fucked a woman before!”

11:11

It was 17:15pm, they were stuck on the I-91 highway. Hot, irritated and glazed with sweat. It had been a beautiful day with clear blue skies, a bright sun loomed, and of course, that sweet summer air… hours ago that was. Now, they crawled under a fiery, ash-filled sky, torn as if it was assaulted by a hundred unwanted guests. Noah drove on.

Inside the car next to him was a woman who lied unconscious with dried blood that had ran down her face. He was dressed in a light blue linen shirt, navy blue tie, black trousers; ripped and covered in soot. The woman wore a checkered shirt, blue jeans; also torn and sooted. Both appeared to be in their mid-thirties.

“Sergeant, what can you tell us?” An interviewer asked on the radio.

“We know that our weapons do jack-shit to their shields! Fuck, our infantry have a better chance at killing a few of them. Their armour is tough but with a dozen well-placed shots it can crack”

“How about you sir, anything?”

“Err, yes, well I believe we are dealing with a sort of extraction process here. My colleagues and I noticed that the two alien forces are attempting to take control of Earth for its resources, primarily deuterium….”

Kzzzzzzzz, weeeeeewooooooo

The First Kenjiin

“A blade is only a piece of metal, harmless, when in no ones hands. As with any other weapon. On there own…they are nothing. But when wielded by a force, it has the potential to be many things”, says Kenjiin.

“Like what Master?”

“A sharp knife that cuts to the truth, a tool that can wreak destruction, an instrument for diplomacy, instills fear and salvation…it becomes dangerous! Which is why it is no toy, understand?”

The master held the blade in his hands, it was sheathed in its scabbard. His student looked upon it with eager eyes, a mere child, who only saw it as a new toy instead of a weapon, despite his master’s explanation. The man laid it down upon a flat rock. Then they sat.

“Meditate with me”
