Chapter One

 

{Sanctuary of the Clans}

 

“Did I over estimate you?” a small but deep electronic voice echoes from the TV screen as Janos throws his controller down in a huff and Kain smirks widely at his victory.

 

“Again” Janos snaps “I know I can beat you!!”

 

“No way” Raziel snaps “we agreed my turn”

 

Janos is ungracefully shoved aside as Raziel takes his place selecting his character from the on screen menu

 

“Let’s go ADA the electronic voice snaps happily

 

“Jehuty?” Kain sniggers

 

“hey, he beat Anubis in the real game so by logic I should be able to beat you now” Raziel seems pleased with his deduction, its almost as if he hasn’t been watching as Kain, using Anubis, wipes all other orbital frames from existence. 

 

“Let’s begin” the deep voice threatens

 

The battle begins.

 

Janos looks over from his chair to a big empty cushion set on the floor, the cushion has obviously been recently sat in, and next to it rests a take away box of cooling egg fried rice.

 

“Where did Light go” Janos asks

 

“I thought she went to the bathroom” Vorador shrugs

 

“For an hour” Janos asks

 

“You know girls” Vorador smirks

 

Janos sighs, the little cat has been acting strange lately normally she can almost always be found in the sanctuary some where eating, sleeping, reading/writing/drawing or even working on occasion.

 

“Maybe she’s working over time” Vorador asks “she mentioned wanting cash”

 

“That was two weeks ago Vorador” Kain snaps not taking his eyes from the game “she came back from Baniks and T-Mans place ages ago, hence the game”

 

Vorador nods and seems to think, it was true the little feline authoress had been disappearing a lot lately.

 

A quiet rumble echoes around the sanctuary

 

“Can you hear that” Vorador asks suddenly, long ears twisting slightly trying to capture the sound

 

“You’re hearing phantoms again” Kain mutters not looking away from the game as Anubis scores three good hits on Jehuty before zero shifting out of reach.

 

“Will you stop doing that” Raziel snaps ignoring Vorador, Jehuty is hit again before Anubis zero shifts out.

 

“No really it’s getting louder” Vorador stands up

 

“Did I over estimate you” Anubis asks crushing Jehuty

 

“I think we did” Kain smirks, Raziel glares

 

Small chips of blackened marble fall from the pillars, landing around on the pale marble of the floor, they jump and flick on the vibrating floor.

 

“What the hells going on” Vorador snaps

 

“Fifty pounds says it’s the elder god” Raziel shouts standing

 

“Eighty” Kain shouts starting up a match against the computer

 

Suddenly large amounts of dust blow in through the windows and shower down on the inhabitants, much coughing is heard from all save Raziel as he has no need to cough. Sticking his head out of the window Raziel smirks.

 

“For once it’s not the elder god” he mutters

 

 

{Outside}

 

“Hi guys”

 

Delicately in front of the sanctuary sits a large orbital frame. Similar to the Anubis design but feline where Anubis was K9.

 

“Anyone see where I left my food?” Lights voice slips from the frame as the cockpit opens and she bounds out disappearing inside quickly before reappearing with her takeaway and clambering ungracefully back into the frame.

 

“I based it on Set, Cat god of Egypt, thought I should stay with the Egyptian theme” Lights voice booms from the frame, muffled by the fact she’s now eating

 

The frame shudders for a moment then stands, a thin tail lashing behind it delicately, orbital wings similar to Anubis spread behind the frame and small clawed hands grasp a long scythe. The whole display is far too dramatic for safety purposes.

 

“So this is what you’ve been doing” Janos shakes his head

 

“Yup, Meridian’s industrial age had its uses, it gave me the tools to build it, Nohman lent me the design after I . . . asked nicely for it . . . . Um yeah”

 

“Where did you get the metatron to build this” Kain asks

 

“Yeah about that . . . . Don’t tell Nohman”

 

 

//+++//+++// Meanwhile //+++//+++//

 

{Aumann}

 

“Lord Nohman” a random lackey runs up to Nohman

 

“What” Nohman snaps, irritated at being disturbed.

 

“Your secret Metatron stash” the lackey starts to sweat heavily.

 

“What about it” an eyebrow is raised

 

“It’s gone”

 

Suddenly the lackey has no head left and Nohman’s gun is smoking in his hand. Nohman flicks his monitor over and rewinds the security footage. He curses loudly as a small innocent looking teenager is seen walking happily away with a rather large sack labelled ‘Nohman’s secret metatron, don’t touch’.

 

Behind her a small army of ghouls follow all carrying sacks labelled the same.

 

“Bugger” Nohman mutters.

 

 

//+++//+++// Nosgoth //+++//+++//

 

 

“WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” Light screeches as Set gathers speed over the vast lifeless planes of Nosgoth.

 

“Get your foot out of my shin” Kain snaps

 

“Fine but get your elbow out of my face” Raziel snaps right back

 

“Light your damn cock pit id not made for three people” Kain mutters finally settling down

 

“Cliff!” Raziel yelps as Set speeds towards a suddenly upturn in the land, a huge wall of rock approaches, the frame waits until the last second before spinning upwards, legs scraping the cliff wall.

 

The sunken abbey loams in the distance, getting closer by the second as Set continues to gain speed.

 

 

{Rahab}

 

Rahab lays lazily on the surface of the water; he enjoys spending his nights like this, not thinking of anything just lying on water. He opens his eyes as he hears a deep rumbling, he blinks, it sounds like some of the machinery in meridian, he remembers the sound from when Light accidentally dragged half the abbey with her when she time shifted.

 

Looking up he spots a small dark blotch on the sky that is gaining in size very quickly, the sound grows louder and Rahab deducts that the thing in the sky is coming closer very fast. He dives under the water hoping that the technology will dislike water and stay the hell away from him.

 

He resurfaces inside the main chamber of the abbey in time to see one of the priceless stain glass windows shatter as the technology lands on a large pedestal. Raziel’s voice echoes from it.

 

“Could you not see the window?”

 

“You should have let me know sooner” Light’s voice now joins his brothers, Rahab smiles

 

“I’ll fax you next time” Raziel screeched “dear gods how you got a driving licence is beyond me”

 

“Licence?” Light mutters Rahab lifts a scaly eyebrow in question.

 

“You don’t have a licence” Raziel asks, not yelling it seems he ran out of steam “how do you know the controls”

 

“I’ll have you know I pilot Jehuty with more skill than any of you guys”

 

“I don’t know, I’m getting pretty good”

 

“IT’S A GAME” Raziel’s yelling again

 

Hearing voices coming from the machine has removed any fear and he clambers up on the opposite pedestal. Maybe his brother found a way to transfer his soul into machines, Light was an author she could practically do what she wanted so this was not surprising.

 

“Raziel” he shouts

 

“Oh . . . hi Rahab” Raziel’s voice shouts from the large machine

 

The machine shakes for a moment before part of it disappears and Kain falls out.

 

“Father?” Rahab frowns “you were . . . . Inside” he is now completely confused. Kain stands and stretches his back wincing as it clicks loudly in several areas.

 

“That’s going to hurt tomorrow” he mutters

 

“Mine hurts now” Raziel sulks clambering out of the giant machine, Light bounds down and seems to be the only one unhurt, Rahab deduces this is because she seems to be the only one who was sitting in a chair.

 

“Do you like it” Light smirks at Rahab, who dips back into the water and swims over to his family

 

“What is it” he asks

 

“My orbital frame” Light seems proud “its name is Set”

 

“What is it” Rahab asks slower this time, Light frowns then nods

 

“It’s a big weapon Rahab, it kills lots of things very quickly” she smiles “it moves fast to and is pretty”

 

Rahab looked at the collection of metal that Light had called Set and wondered how the small feline saw it as pretty.

 

Rahab watches as the three clamber back inside the metal machine, he jolts backwards in the water as the machine lifts off causing a lot of air pressure, it twists gracefully in the air and curls in on itself before blasting out, breaking another window in the process.

 

Rahab sighs and decides that a nap would be a nice idea.

 

{Light}

 

A sudden feeling of temporal distortion rocks Set sending it sideways a little, as Set leaves Nosgoth and enters the space between the worlds, still gaining speed.

 

“Where are we going” Raziel asks

 

“See T-Man” Light smirks “I wanna show him Set and I heard he made a copy of Anubis and gave it to Ruri, I wanna play”

 

“Well before you and Ruri play can you let us out” Raziel asks “this is not in any way comfortable”

 

“I’ll make the cockpit larger later” Light mutters smirking as she sees a huge ship approaching quickly.   

 

“Imperial control to orbital frame” T-Man’s voice comes on over the radio and his image comes up on the control monitor of Set, he is smiling,

 

“Set to imperial control, wanna play” Light smirks

 

“You guys look a bit squashed in there” T-Man mutters noticing he can see Kain and Raziel fighting for space behind Light

 

“Their fine” Light smirks widely “where’s Anubis”
