Ether snow

Ether........ Cold rigid thats what the data implanted in me says.


We don't feel, but we are curious about everything. The world is our laboratory, our experiments are sometimes ourselves a small price for perfection. Flesh exchanged for steel, flesh is weak.

But we don't really know much about the world as I said we have exchanged our flesh for steel. That made the point of feeling useless thats why we only things as data but we don't really know what it feels like, the cold, the heat mere words and what the other races calls emotions is just plainly illogical for us.


Ether snow what does it really, curiosity sets in my mind because in the midst of everything we believe the truth can only be found be oneself. But it seems that curiosity is an act of disobedience to the empire for we are breaking what we believe or thought to believe.

Wait someone's coming............ readying cloak, activate.


Cora: I thought I saw something here, the snow is so white like heaven seemed to have fallen.


Her skins white as ether snow, her hair as gold as the accretia's desert, who is she. I mustn't get to close, keep in mind that there is still war and she is still the enemy but who is she.


Cora: In the name of Decem show your self I know your there I can feel you.


Feel me! How can I understand her, impossible could she be a one of the cora's generals.

Cora: in the name of Decem give me sight upon sight.


My cloak its breaking, I can't face a general not here not now.

Cora: What business do you have here accretian, war hasn't reach this land yet.


War won't reach this land for the war will end soon. I have no intention of fighting you here.

Cora: Don't make a fool of me I know that you are planning something, let the ground melt let the roots grow and entangle my enemies.


Remove your spell witch as I said I have no intention of fighting you.

Cora: Ok then I will remove my spell but I will not let my guard down, one falls move and you die.


Feisty, very very feisty let there be peace for a moment between us take this as a way of gathering information about us.

Cora: seems you mean no harm I will abide what you have said but I will ask you again what business have you came here accretian.


My curiosity brought me here, lets say that I am gathering data for my self. What is your name Cora.

Cora: Gabrielle, I am one of the general who opposes the war but it seems all of the race are hungry for it.


I am Yassop accretian infiltrator, team E of the accretian assassination squad.

Gabrielle: Yassop.


I don't sense fear in you.

Gabrielle: sense! hah !does an accretain feel are you mocking your own steel race.


Your heart beat didn't even skip ed a beat when I told you I was an assassin.

Gabrielle: I know your not that stupid and attack a general near their camp.


I know your bluffing there is no camp here but still I really don't have intention of fighting you.

Gabrielle: Then what is the data you are after.

I need to know how to feel, that's all and yet it is a mockery of our race but the conquest for knowledge has its price.

Gabrielle: An accretian wishing to know how to feel, then I will tell you but I know you won't understand.


She was telling me everything and all of it matches the data stored in our memory banks but still I cant comprehend it all, somethings missing. The cold snow of ether, the strong wind, the heat of the volcanic cauldron I don't understand. Somethings missing.

Gabrielle: You didn't understand anything did you, you want to know why because accretian's have no feelings, only obedience rules your thought, you believe in one thing and that is the empire.I know your just doing what you are ordered to that is why I don't have a grudge on you all. But tis strange that a accretian wants to know how to feel, or maybe your different.


Maybe your right............. someones contacting me.

Sir Howl: Your service of need here, active time is 0900, war is brewing, the bellatos are on the move.

Gabrielle: I know were your going accretian and I am going there too remember that our peace is only for a moment when we meet at the mines it wont be easy. But lets hope war doesn't reach this beautiful land

Yes this beautiful, goodbye gabrielle.

I saw her smiled, my sensor couldn't go wrong, I saw her smiled what does it mean.


Crag mines... war has exploded on all three race.

Sir Howl:We are all experience assassin now, there is a new plan divide and conquer. XXX and I will take care of the bellato and you Yassop will take care of the cora general, Ok men lets go hurah.


I see my objective the cora is covered with armor. 1 fatal stab like in training, impossible she dodge an accurate shot but that wont stop me. A full swing got to dodge. At last I have hit her.

No it can't be, that eyes, that hair, that skin it was Gabrielle.

Gabrielle: Yassop, as I have said our moment of peace ends here one last hit Yassop and the war is over.

She rushed me I have to attack. It is war and all are enemies got to defend for the empire one fatal trust and its over.

Gabrielle: Its over Yassop, its over , please don't let the war reach that beautiful land.

No why didn't you dodge, I didn't mean to.. no please come back.

Gabrielle: silly accretian your feeling emotion...... ggugudbye.. Yassop

I feel anger, I feel rage I feel hate for my self hate for war, but most of all I feel.


The skimirsh is over its snowing in crag mine as I was hugging her..... I feel tears that are not flowing. Goodbye Gabrielle goodbye

Ether

Ether......... Cold rigid beautiful that is what I feel

Belphegor's rampage

Volcanic Cauldron

Mission briefing, a new type of crystal which has limitless energy was found in the volcanic cauldron area and it is found in Belphegor's castle. Primary classified, secondary mission find the crystals and obtain samples as many as you can.

Tanker: What are we doing here sir. There's nothing but molten rocks and ash here.

Broken: You idiot you didn't read briefing again were to obtain an item. But why is the primary classified.


I know something is wrong here. A crystal can be retrieve by a scout but why are there so many troops. And why am I the only phantom shadow here, I think I should have stayed at the base.


Sir Razak: Ok troops as I know your wondering why are we so many here at the cauldron. We are here to obtain the crystal that our scientists ordered. But the briefing that was ordered was cut short, the real mission is to catch Belphegor and bring him to armory 213. Tanker you head and form a team of Punisher, Brocken position your team of nuker's and with for the right signal to prepare your siege kit. Yassop you obtain the crystal and lure the Belphegor outside its cavern.


That word lure made my circuit stop every processing, I know I can use cloak and get the crystal unnoticed but luring a demon out is different. NO cloak just grab and run, thats the only thing I can do 1 falls move and I'm dead.


Sir Razak: Lure him out of the cavern and we will do the rest.


Sir yes Sir, well there's nothing I can do.


I'm inside, its so dark the crystal was easy to see it was the only thing glowing inside but the main objective seems to be not here, maybe the monster moved. The feeling of fear seems to have disappeared but I know there something wrong, things like this are not that easy to do.

Sir I have obtain the crystal, no sighting of Belphegor.

Sir Razak: Good work but......@#$%$#

Just as the last signal disappeared a ember seems to form in the darkness first a small light then it was forming a body. No doubt it was Belphegor and he was standing in front of me. I wasn't paralyzed with fear but the sight of the monster was outstanding, aw and amazement was on my mine. But then his roared echoed and rocked the cave, no time got to run as fast as I can. Sir if you can hear me Belphegor is chasing me and were heading your way.

Sir Razak: Troops ready.

I can see the light, I can see I'm near the exit with the beast at my back. finally I'm out but the beast seems to be entangled by the punisher's net.

Sir Razak: Nukers ready your special ammo. FIRE


The Belphegor fell but it wasn't dead only pacified.


Sir Razak: Contact base 213 tell them objectives were obtain with ease.


Easy for him to say that it was caught with ease, he wasn't the one running.


Sir Razak: men move out.

armory-213

Back at last, the crystal is at the headquarter they say it has something to do with ore forming at crag mines. Belphegor's here at 213 at least under 213.

Tank: Hey Yassop nice job luring the belohegor.

No problem

Brocken: Yeah your a real runner.

I felt provoked by the way he said that word. Then our attention was change to something new the alarm alerted everyone at headquarters. Outside 213 the earth was shaking. For a moment I thought it was a normal earthquake until there was an explosion, the earth cracked Belphegor was unleashed.

I saw everyone at 213 being murdered by that monster every high ranked was alerted.

The monster was on a rampage. His was equal to a bellato army, everyone who stand on its way was either stomped or crushed away. There was no net to subdue the monster, then reinforcement came.

Archon: Punisher's regroup, I need Specialist hear, and every available unit able to fight. Now as we know even by greater number we can't defeat the Belphegor but we can out wit the beast. All rally at snake canyon, Specialist build your agt's at the entrance of snake canyon, All Mercenary defend the Specialist, after all agt's are built lure the monster to snake canyon to the agt's.


It seems to be a good plan.


Archon: I need someone to lure the beast to snake canyon.

Sir Razak: Yassop, call Yassop sir he was the one who was with us in the mission.


Well for now its not a very good plan if your the bait. I think the other race calls it dead meat.
But this time its different, its not dark and this my domain I know the area.

Grand Archon I am here at your service, I am here to serve the empire.

Just like a good soldier just follow orders and keep your opinion for your self.


Cloak mode on, Belphegor's seems to be rampaging at cruel more. Target sighted extremely hostile as to expect to a mindless beast.

Lure him to snake canyon and everything will be over.

Ok here I go first I must get his attention, the backstab made him flinch but my cloak's gone I have to run. He swoops his hands at me with rage, dodge it, but just the ember of its body melts parts of my metallic body. Got to run got to run fast, Sir I am now at the point please I'm in need of assistance.


Grand Archon: Let him enter the snake canyon.


Just as planned the punisher's used there net to stop it on its track but the Belphegor was enrage it was fueled with destruction, the net came loose.


Grand Archon: Gladuis are needed for backup here.


There was only one flaw in the archon's plan he did'nt expect the beast to be this powerful when provoked.


Specialist: Sir all agt's are set.

Grand Archon: Fire at will.

The belphegor fell but it did'nt seemed to be hurt at all, its regenerating.

Scientist: Grand Archon the Belphegors cell are regenerating we must have a serum to stop its cell from regenerating but there is a certain spot were it must be injected. Someone must inject it the Belphegors spinal chord.

Grand Archon: Sir Yassop your are the only one qualified enough to inject it to the Belohegor, you have been that close to it.


The Archon handed me the serum here I go again now nothing to cloak myself. My cloaking core seemed to have burned out.

One last run, live or die, I can see the best eye flaming red. He striked me with his arms but I have evaded it, I'm at his back now only a few more steps and its over, arghh I his tailed hit me I dropped the serum, shit I'm dead.

And just I thought I was going to die the gunners distracted the beast enough chance, enough time for me to get the serum. One hit I have done it.

I didn't let go of it until the beast grab hold, I can hear missiles lunching I saw him fell, then I blacked out.

My system stabilize and I am at the repair station the scientist congratulated me called me a hero but I feel something was missing as they were telling the story. My cloaking core seems to be broken. They say that it will take time for it to recharge. But at least the worst is over.

Blades and bullets may brake me apart but that won't stop me becoming the greates.
