(as the returned to the spot they left Vain in the distance could be seen Sari standing in front of Vain’s body blocking soldiers and Siar who found them. She growled and looked to them with a glare. Most of the soldiers hid behind Siar in fear. Sari’s tail waved and she flared up glaring to them. The air around her seemed threatening to whoever walked in the range of Vain)
Sari: Hell no! your not getting him you baboon. You told me nothing about Xperios! you knew they were running around didnt you?!
*Sair sighed and shook her head*
Siar: I have no idea what you are talking about you gorrilla. Holding your chest out like the ape you are wont scare me. I know you Sari. Ive known you for a long time.
*She growled*
Sari: shut up! you dont know squat! you thought you did but you dont! You can never understand the pain of losing a loved one like him and you never will. Your a greedy little girl that hasnt grown up.
*Siar glared to her*
Siar: what?! how dare you?! its you who dont know! your the one asking the questions! I always said Vain does not belong to somone like you! look at the shape hes in because of you and the fight you dealt with!
*Sari nodded*
Sari: exactly it was OUR fight meaning he is OUR problem not some outsider human who cant tell any truths these days! I thought we were more than rivals Siar, I thought you didnt want to hide and help your people. If you want to be friends with us and help your people from preventing a way you will shut up and answer my questions!
*Siar huffed*
Siar: I will do no such thing. I told you before that I am intrested in Vain and not any of you. I will only help Vain even if that means taking down his so called “love”. You left him to wander the lands. You let him be attacked. You wernt there for him and YOU are responsible for him losing his memory!
*Nailah rushed up beside Sari and growled*
Nailah: how dare you! who the hell do you think you are human? what makes you think you can do anything better than the Queen!
*Sair sighed*
Siar: shut up child, you know nothing of this. Stay out of this matter. Only those who have seen the fires of war and destruction could truly understand the pain of losing somone and the absolute need to protect that person!
*Nailah shook her head*
Nailah: you may be right that I dont know about all that. But I dont have to know that to see whats in front of my eyes. I see a woman who cant take no for an answer and cant keep her nose out of our buisness! Your just like the Queen said, your an overcautious child whose afraid of losing! you want but cant get and fuss about it and use people like playthings! I bet you even bribed everone around you to work for you.
*Siar growled*
Siar: wh-what did you say?! How dare you! To think of the insolence! you you!…
*Sari shook her head*
Sari: no.. Nailah your wrong. Siar wouldnt do that.
*Siar blinked*
Siar: …?
*Sari smiled looking at Siar*
Sari: she earned her mens loyalty and her armys hearts. She is a warrior. But she is a woman first than a commander. Right now her men need her more than ever. Especially with this war coming close. She needs to learn that quickly before she loses more than her men. She may lose those who call her friends and allies.
Siar: ….
*the group walked over to Sari and Nailah as Seitz looked to her*
Seitz: Sari. As I told you before he..
*Sari nodded*
Sari: I know.. hes lost his memory agian. That much I know and about these fake Czats running around.
*Seitz blinked*
Seitz: you know about them?
*She nodded*
Sari: only what I heard. Their called Xpearios.. their a group that was leftover hired by Tyre. For some reason they are running around trying to capture Czats like me and Vain. They also got their hands on Czat blood and are trying to create clones of Czats. Its not working out though.. so you must have noticed when you clased with that Xvulite.
*Seitz blinked and growled*
Seitz: thats… horrible… what kind of twisted organization is doing this?…
*Nailah blinked*
Nailah: an Xvulite.. so those things we fought on the mountain volcano were fake Czats..
*Siar interuppted*
Siar: It was an Xvulite. The prototype of a Czat created by Xpearios. Their bodys carry many forms of Czats however they are unstable and need a Z cromozone to keep them alive for more than a day.
*Sari looked to Siar*
Sari: I thought so. I thought you knew about them.
*Marcus shivered*
Marcus: their… clones.. their beings that look like us but.. their not.
*Nailah nodded*
Nailah: to be cloned is scary enough but their imperfect..
*Auno growled*
Auno: what human would dare do such a thing! what kind of person is doing this?
*Sair shook her head*
Siar: we dont know that.
*Ulri shivered and shook her head*
Ulri: its wrong.. where could they be making these monsters.. why would they want to?
Siar: that we dont know either.
*Heit growled*
Heit: its terrible! Damn monsters.. but what kind of thing can make fake Czats in the first place?
Siar: we dont know that either.
*Xalent looked to her*
Xalent: what do you know then? how about telling us miss Siar.
*She closed her eyes and smiled*
Siar: Miss huh… well what we do know is they are imperfect and look like morphed. Their bodys seem to melt faster when exposed in sunlight so they wear cloaks all over their bodys. They have abilitys like Czats however and can transform part of their bodys to claws wings or anything their made of. As of now we have located a pile of bones that seemed to be Xvulites. After studying them we can only tell that many were destroyed by Vain or natural sunlight.
*Sari nodded*
Sari: they were following me across the desert one day. They didnt make it far though because their bodys seemed to melt away. I was attacked though at night.. so the only option I had was to sleep in the day and travel at night.
*Siar nodded*
Siar: they are more stronger at night due to the sun going down however moonlight can do the same damage. Their so unstable it doesnt take much to destroy them. A few of my normal recruits could take them down. Still their so many roaming around and its become a bit of a problem.
*Sari nodded*
Sari: well they also seem like they were focused on me. I remember in a village they ignored the villagers and aimed only at me.
*Nailah blinked*
Nailah: come to think of it it happened on the mountain too. Vain was the one aimed at and they somewhat ignored us.
*Xalent rubbed his chin*
Xalent: its possible they attack the leaders than the troops.
*Siar shook her head*
Siar: no its not that. Its that they need a perfect Z cromozone. Only the Czat King and Queen have it. However their mostly Aiming at Vain as well. Seeing as Vain had more than just a Z cromozone in him. Remember the mountain you rescued the Czat clones from? those childrens parents?
*Sari nodded*
Sari: yes.. that was some time ago and they all have children now as you can see.
*Siar nodded*
Siar: well after you left just moments before the mountain was destroyed I sent my top spy in to take the research notes. What I discovered disturbed me.
*Sari blinked*
Sari: I cant beleve you auctually took that stuff! what do you plan to do with it!?
*Siar shook her head and smiled*
Siar: calm down Sari, I plan to burn it and spit on the ashes when I am through telling you what I found. You have my word as a fellow lover of Vain and peace.
*Sari shrugged*
Sari: r-right..
*Siar continued*
Siar: anyhow what we found were that they used blood found in several places from your group and blood from relics that were covered in Czat blood from ages past. The blood work seemed to be stable and using it they could create many clones.
*Nailah shivered along with the rest of the group*
Siar: however after the war and Tyres defeat, a wave of darkness was broken over the land. The Demon Tyre fused with Veerhah died and Vain lost. This made two vital Cromozones dissapear. V Cromozone for Veerhah had died with him and Z cromozone in Vain dissapeared as if it never was there. The experiments then were liquidated back into protoplasm form. They couldnt be built up or cloned anymore.
*Sari blinked*
Sari: so what your saying is.. after we killed Tyre and Veerhah the cromozone of Veerhah was destroyed too. The Czat Cromozone taken from Vain also dissapeared since he wasnt around in the world for it to have a reaction.. that sums up why I didnt see them appear but why are the others alive then and Vain is back.. what will happen now?
*Xalent looked to her*
Xalent: if I may interject. The Godess Lesiza had our parents in the holy grounds.. They were made full blooded Czats and no longer clones from her power.. if thats the case that explains why we are alive and the clones died out.
*Siar nodded*
Siar: makes sense.. and solves the reasons why they didnt appear some time later. Still now that Vain is back in this world a basice cromozone in the clones is activated and allows them to clone again and send them out but imperfects alone. The Xvulites. IF my theory is correct then it means they need Veerhahs cromosone to complete a perfect clone again.
*Xalent nodded*
Xalent: and the last known location of Veerhahs cromozone was inside Vain.
*Sari growled*
Sari: they know too much.. these guys are crazy. They must have also attacked me thinking Vain would rescue me.
*Siar nodded*
Siar: not that youd need rescue. Still if they are keeping up with current information then they know Vain has lost his memory. This could be their chance to take him. Still Vain isnt going down without a fight..
*Xalent nodded*
Xalent: and all the information fits into place now then. Now for the next step I suggest we gather ourselves and dissaper to the one place they cant get us.
*Sari nodded*
Sari: were going back to Lyre. This time with Vain.
*Siar shook her head*
Siar: no. I wont allow you to go. You cannot take Vain but you may leave to your home.
*Sari shook her head*
Sari: havent you gotten it through your head? were being targeted! Vain cant be kept safe here.
*Siar growled*
Siar: its been too long.. I cant let him go now.. I …I need him.
*Sari huffed*
Sari: I dont have time to deal with this. We all dont. Siar when you have your prioritys in order over your emotions then you can come to Lyre and see him yourself. However he will not be going anywhere!
*Siar raised her hand. Soldiers aimed their guns at her. Sari hissed*
Sari: your pissing me off! I am telling you if you want to die then try it!
*Nailah growled and transformed along with Marcus who transformed and roared at them. Auno Ulri and Heit transformed and and screeched.*
*the soldiers shivered a bit and backed away*
Sari: no one has to die today Siar. Just end this and we can go back to…
*Vain growled and groaned. Sari looked over to see a darkness envelop the ground under him and hands reach for him trying to pull him in*
Sari: gah! what?!
*Nailah and Marcus softly gripped Vains arms in their teeth and pulled trying to keep him from being pulled in but the hands pulled harder now being revealed to be dark hands*
*Sari growled and rushed up to the hand and bit it. The being roared and pulled back as the shadow began to move to a different spot then rose from the ground and took an appearance of a black Czat with purple eyes.*
Sari: what the? what the hell is that? who are you?!
*The figure laughed and pointed to Vain then to Sari*
???: I am the two of you, hehehe but it looks like I wasnt fast enough. This time ill tell you for winning the game of tug a Vain ahaha!
*Sari growled and jumped at the figure only to pass right through it*
Sari: what? an illusion?
*the figure laughed than turned into a woman with cat ears and a long black dress. She smiled showing her fangs*
???: I cant be hurt by you. You are me and I am you. As of this point we are only an illusion indeed. Hehehaha. Before the cat spills the milk ill tell you this much. Hand over Vain to Xperios troops or die. No other choice.
*She growled and transformed then flicked the figure off*
Sari: to hell with that. You cant take away my mate without me biting your head off.
*She sighed*
???: and to think your a female.. what fierceness of a male cat.
*She hissed*
Sari: what? why dont you say that when your throat is ripped out!
*She faded then reappeared behind her*
???: now now I am in no condition to fight you none of the Xperios is without that gene inside Vain. Know this though my loving mate and I will get what we want from you. Then we will kill you with our own Children hehe the Xzats!
*Sari blinked and turned around*
Sari: what? Xzats? what are you talking about.
*She laughed*
???: Remember the name of Niar the Xzat. I will be your death and fears. Know that the Xperios will evolve into the Xzats like us but still weak. Tyre created us as his leading children. We will destroy everything including your land of Lyre. Its going to be beautiful.
*A low growl could be heard. She turned around then sighed*
Niar: alright my love. I will hold my tounge. I sent the message so its fine.
*Sari blinked as she started to fade then swung at her only for her to dissapear into darkness laughing*
Sari: damn it.. whatever they are these Xzats, Xperios or whatever! I swear they wont get Vain.
*Siar looked on still shocked from the scene. Sari walked over to Vain and carried him on her back then looked to Siar*
Sari: these are no ordinary people Siar. This is the danger were dealing with. You can fight us or you can fight against us. Know this though…
*Sair blinked. Sari glared to her as her eyes changed into a feral like iris. Siar blinked and shivered*
Sari: I will kill you or anyone who dares step in my kingdom unwanted! Is that clear?!
*She closed her eyes then turned to Seitz and the group. Then opened them revealing her natrual iris*
Sari: everyone lets go home. Seitz can you carry us home?
*He blinked and nodded*
Seitz: y-yes. I will carry Vain. Auno you carry Marcus and Ulri you carry Nailah. Heit carry Sari and Xalent scout the skys and lets return to Lyre.
*they all nodded as Auno lifted up Marcus and carried him into the sky. Ulri carried Nailah as she looked to the king concerned. Seitz transformed and gently picked up Vain then floated off to the sky. Sari took one more look to Siar who seemed frozen but watched them fly away.*
Sari: if I were you id really get the army ready… they seem to want us all dead.
*She looked to Heit and nodded as he flew above her and carried her off. The group faded away as Siar sighed and kneeled down. The soldiers looked to her*
Soldier: are you alright Commander Siar?
*She nodded slowly*
Siar: Field General..
*he nodded*
Soldier: yes commander?
Siar: prepare the troops. Our prioritys have changed. The Alliance is our last priority. The Czats are target two and this new group.. the Xzats are prime target. Find as much info as we can and shut them down. Send a message to my brother to handle the Alliance Fleet in the ocean and another to Sanda. Tell him to find the info we need. The Son of Barge should be strong enough to do that. Prepare the weapons and get the R and D crew active. We will need those test flight models for the Invasion of Lyre Plan.
*he hesitated*
Soldier: after all that… the top plan is still going to be done..
*She growled*
Siar: of course! its not for Vain alone.. the Czats… the Xzats.. the Alliance.. they all dont belong to us.. their acting like animals attacking anything and taking away things.. The Ivasion plan will go as planned. The Agmund stone needs to be mined faster. Tell Charon to be ready as well. Lyre intends to hide away from these monsters.. but I will make them see that their not just a piece of land that doesnt exist. They are also part of Rulan and will help to defend.
*he nodded*
Soldier: yes mam.. Lady Charon has already sent word that the test with the Agmund Stones seem to cause the Czats to weaken. They dont have their true powers to even shift into their beast form. We have found a weakness and it caused no harm to the captured Czats.
*She nodded*
Siar: excellent. We have a vital material in stopping Czats. It should be continued. Also you did let the captured Czats go right? your keeping an eye on them?
*he nodded*
Soldier: Commander Syrrus’s spy unit has kept an eye on the Czats. They seem to be a tribe non affiliated with the ones of Lyre. Whats more their a completely different kind. However their home is in the mountains underground. They are well defended. They seem to be able to do fine on their own without interference.
*Siar nodded*
Siar: good. Avoid telling anyone of this news who doesnt need to know. The less Sari and her ilk know the better. Our main goal is to continue our plans.
*he nodded*
Siar: alright lets get back to base.. I know my brother must be worried for me.
