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
“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
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,
“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”

“German
air space to big flying doggy thing”
