Twilight of The past

[Angel]

The Villa was quiet, It was Mid afternoon and Krist was in her study reading old news articals from Britonia, and articals about her father and the Outcasts.

She picked up one article from the Daily London, " Lenne Stromguard, to sing tonight to a sold out crowd of over fifteen thousand at the Cambridge coliseum "



She put down that one, and picked another out of the stack, this one also from the Daily London, the title read, " Lenne a Corsair! " she kept reading it, " It was revealed today that Lenne Stromguard, a very popular singer here in Britonia, is a pilot for the Corsairs, it is not know how long she has been working for them, but most assume that she secretly joined after her father, Sir David Stromguard, CEO of Gateway Inc. ordered a transport of Corsair women and children to be attacked. Sources in Gateway say that she has been disowned from the family and is an enemy of Gateway, The Queen has not made any public comments about it, but analysis say that Queen will make her a Enemy of the state, even though the two where close freinds. "

Kristy just shook her head, polotics and familys never mix, she placed the article back on the table, then looked at a Outcast Article, " Telaris Pryde, Saved Allies, and slaughtered enemys " she smiled and started reading.



" Young Telaris, a Pilot for Don Auron Benetiez, Saved five Outcast pilots in Tau-31 today. A group of bounty hunters had layed a Trap Near outpost Holman. When the Outcast squadron arrived on scene they where ambushed by two Ace BHG squadrons and a Squadron of Armed forces Very heavy fighters. Recieving there distress call, Telaris broke orders to go save them, after a hour long fire fight, all five outcast fighters, along with Telaris made it to the saftey of The minefield south of Cali, and left twelve Bounty Hunters sucking space. Auron Benetiez congradulated him, not caring that he broke Orders, by squaring off one hundred and fifty acres of Cardamin fields to Telaris for his bravery. "

Kristy smiled, Thats dad all right, I wish I could have known them....she thought as she closed the album where all the articles where kept. Then a mans voice called In her head, you know you can ya know... his voice was young, calming, and for some strange reason familiar. There was a bright flash of light, and her vision went white, as Kristys vision cleared back to normal she wasn't in the Villa anymore, she was surrounded by miles of blue, white and purple wild flowers, " What is this, where am I? " she asked, and was soon anwsered by a the same mans voice, " Well, If you want to be technical, where inside your head kiddo " he said jokingly.

She looked around, " Who are you, whats going on? " there was laughter, " Always with the questions, don't worry your fine " Kristy heard the grass behind her shuffle, she snapped around, revealing a Man standing there, In his early twentys, bright blonde hair, a big grin and flashy cloths, " Hiya kiddo " kristy eyes began to well up with tears, "......Daddy.....? " he smiled, " always thought you where gonna be a smart kid " as soon as he finished, Kristy slammed into him, giveing a Tight Hug, in between sobs she asked, " What are you doing here? " he laughed, " Well, I've always been here, ever since you where born kiddo, your mother and I, after we died, ended up here, honestly I have no clue how, but we did "

Wiping away the tears on her cheek, " Your mom wants to say hello by the way " there was a puzzled look on Kristy face, then she felt someone kiss the back of her head, she snapped around to see a Beautfule Brunette stareing at her with a gentle smile, " Hello sweetheart " she said as she brushed some of kristys hair out of her face, and in a instant the two where hugging, Lenne rested her head on kristy and smiled, Kristy was crying uncontrolably now, Lenne just laughed, " Shhhh its ok, I'm right here, where both right here, and where not going anywhere.. "

After a few moments they released, " How come you guys Didn't come talk to me sooner? " kristy sobed, " Well, you where to young, and with everything going on, we didn't want to put more stress on you, But like your mother said, where hear now, and I think your ready to know what had happened twenty years ago, come on we'll show ya together " Telaris raped one arm around Kristy and held hands With Lenne, and walked into a wall of Fog.

After a few moments, they walked out, and onto the Villa grounds, It was still under construction back then, but was no less grand, captured slaves where working hard on the walls and and pathways. Telaris spoke up, " Ahh home sweet home, this was the day when everything started going wrong, the day your Uncle visited " They could here Gunshots off in the distance and the sound of you kids laughing, the trio walked down the path to an empty field, there where two boys at a stone wall, they where proping there rifles on the wall and shooting twords the field, they would laugh at each other when the other missed, the young blonde shot, and missed a Target five hundred yards off the little silver hair boy laughed, " God you really suck Johnny, can't you hit..." he was interuped by a punch in the Arm, " Shut up Bernard, I'd like to see you do that " they both laughed, Bernard lined up his sight, and pulled the trigger, his shot went wide.

" Ha ha, you missed to! " the young blonde chuckled, " Jerk, there was dust in my eye! " they both laughed again. As the Trio watched, a very pregnent Lenne Walked straight through them, " Johnathon, go wash up, its time for lunch, bernard would you like to stay for lunch? " they both spread big grins, " Would I I'd love to! " the boys sprinted past Lenne twords the house.

Lenne noticed a man walking up the road, Blonde with a long Grey trench coat with Red Swords emblemed on the sleeves.



" Cordez, How are you doing, what brings you out here? " Lenne asked as he walked up, he smiled " Hello Lenne, and hello little Niece " he rubbed Lennes belly, " How ya fealin? " he asked as they walked to the Villa, " Ohh I'm fine, other that the fact I'm nine months pregneant and very cranky, I'm great " they both laughed, " Is Telaris here? " as they entered the Villa, " Yeah he In his study upstairs " he nodded and walked up the stairs, while lenne mad her way to the Kitchen.

There was a flash of light, still in the villa, the Trio noticed Cordez storming down the stairs, his face tomato red, he stormed out of the Villa, mumbling about, " just deserves ", a few moments later, the Trio found themselves upstairs, Lenne and Telaris where in the study, " Telaris, whats wrong? " he looked at her straight in the eye, " I think where gonna need to leave, Tell Ian that he should take Bernard home, and get packed " she nodded with concern, a few seconds later, they where downstairs, there was a man there old, with a scare over his right eye, wearing glasses talking to Telaris.



He spoke with a grizzly voice, " Telaris old freind, I know what your brother says isn't true, but he has alot of weight with the other Dons, there coming to kill you and your family Telaris, go to Landing pad 441 a few miles south of here, theres a Armoured transport waiting for you, to take you to a hiddin location, where not many people will be looking for you, don't worry there Zoners they'll take care of you. " Telaris smiled and shook his hand, " I don't know how to repay you Auron " he said.

" Just stay alive, and let me sort this all out, and I'll get you home in no time " Auron smiled, The Trio soon found themselves at the launch pad, a large Armoured transport was roaring life when a car pulled up, Lenne, Telars and John all piled out of the Car, and where met by a zoner on the tarmac, " My names Captain Erickson, I'll be taking you out of here, this is my Fist mate Luciaden, He'll be flying Us to Gran Canaria " the captain stated as a young man walked up.



" I'll be the flight lead today, I'll make sure you get there safe and sound Mr Pryde " they all boarded, and as the ship lifted off, four trucks filled with soldiers pulled up to the landing pad and piled out of there vehicals. But they where to late.

Soon everything went to white again, Telaris spoke, " Your uncle, the man you killed several months ago, sold me and your mother out, we wouldn't give him some of our estate, since he had gambled, and drank away his Credits, so he came up with a false story on how I had betrayed the Outcasts and given information to the Bounty Hunters Guild. Auron saw straight throught the lies, but the rest of the Dons didn't and so exiled us from Malta, " he gritted his teeth, " He betrayed his own flesh and blood, for money and property. "

Lenne smiled, " On the trip to Canaria, Is when we both got the fist signs of your speical tallent, whenever your father and I started thinking about all the bad things that had happened, or stressing about what was going to happen, we would get flooded with happy fealings, pleasnt memories, and happy thoughts we couldn't explain why it was happening until we learned of your abilities While on board the Rheinland battleship " Telaris smiled, " But back to the story "

The three found themselves on Canaria spaceport, It was just a small port, as very few had yet moved to Canaria since it was discoverd a few years back, Telaris, Lenne and John walked off the ship and where met, by a squad of Corsair soldiers, " Mr and Ms Pryde, we have orders to keep you safe, and to keep you alive, please follow us. " The group of corsairs lead them to a caravan of black trucks, after boarding they drove off into the forests surrounding the small city.

Inside, Lenne shift and shifted, " Whats wrong lenne? " Telaris asked. He looked puzzled, but when Lennes face ent pale, " I think my water just broke " his face just sunk, " Ahh crap, Driver Floor it where about to have a baby back here ! " everyone could here the engine roar to life, and excelerate, " Don't worry Sir we'll be there in two mins " Telaris chuckled, " I hope so, cause this baby ain't waiting " Lenne started have contractions, and moaned in pain.

There was a flash of light, and the trio where in ruins of some sort, Kristy looked out at the beautiful view.



Then the sounds of labor caught her attention, she turned to see Lenne on a bed, Telaris by her side, and a Doctor aiding, " Lenne, she's almost out I need one more push " she gritted her teeth and pushed, and moments later, the crying of a baby could be heard, the doctor craddled the child, snipped the Cord, rapped her in a soft blanket, and handed her to Lenne, she was crying, " Ohh isn't she beautiful, Little kristy " Telaris and Lenne leaned there heads against each other and just stared and smiled at the little child that had just come into there lives.

After a few Mins the small child opened her eyes revealing beautiful Emerald green, " She has your eyes mom " Lenne smiled, and almost instanly, the baby giggled, " And she has your smile dad " lenne commented. After a few hours a corsair guard came up, " I'm sorry to have to say this but we need to get moving, theres a Group of Bounty Hunters coming up the road " he was interupted by a massive explosion that ripped through the side of the Ruins, " Come on we have to GO! " he yelled.

Lenne got dressed as quickly as possible, and with baby in arms started running through the Ruins away from the Firefight, she yelled, " Where Johnathon, we can't leave Johnathon! " the corsair guard quickly anwsered, " Hes fine, he and a few Corsairs made it to the space port! " as they ran they came to realise they where lost.

Standing still to catch there breath, they heard foot steps everywhere, " Come on, there right on top of Us! " the guard yelled and again they where off, But soon found themselves at a dead end, " Come on, back this......." a gunshot cut him short as he dropped dead, a Bounty Hunter walked around the Corner, pointing an assault rifle at the group, followed by a young woman doing the same, " This is Cillian and Payne, we got them where three blocks east Of grid five "

As they spoke Telaris reached for his pistol, but found It wasn't in its holster, " Damn " he said to himself, soon there where a Dozen bounty Hunters pointing there weapons at Lenne, Telaris and the Baby. Soon they where joined by a Doctor, the same doctor that had just helped give birth to kristy hours ago, " Mr Pryde looking for this? " he waved a pistol at him, " you son of a...." he was cut off.



" Ohh please, spare me Mr Pryde, this isn't the first Time Ive done something like this, " The doctor was joined by a Man in a white suit, he had a smirk on his face as he looked on, " Look Mr Pryde, we want nothing to do with you, we just want your child, hand over the Kid and no harm will be done " he grinned.



" Burn in hell, I'll never give Kristy over to anyone " he just shook his head, " Well you see Mr Pryde, thats a real shame, because now we have to do this the hard way, and I hate doing it the hard way, But It is your choice, Good bye Telaris, and Lenne, beautiful Lenne, I'm sure there will be many people who will miss you two...."



Telaris looked at Lenne, Kristy made a sound, which brought a smile to the two, Lennes eyes filled with tears, Telaris smiled, " I love..." he was never able to finish his sentence, Gunshots Rang out, Hitting there Mark, Lenne was ripped from telars arms, more bullets found there mark, as the two fell to the ground, Lenne collapsed with Kristy craddled in her left arm...



Telaris tried to reach for Lenne, but after a few moments his hand went limp, tears fell as Lenne watched him die, then soon, her breathing slowed, then stoped....

As the bounty hunters walked up, the Man in the White suit picked up Kristy, " And you little one, will help Sin|Tech, we want to see what makes you so special " but the baby didn't stop crying, " Doctor take her to my ship, then Inform Captain Kreig that we have more Cargo that needs escorts to Omega-15 " he said handing the Newborn over.

Cillian and payne felt sick to there stomach, the White suit walked to the group, " you'll all recieve payment at the spaceport, leave the bodys noone will find them out here. " he turned and started back through the ruins with the doctor in tow.

There was flash, and revealed Johnathon, with several dozen Corsairs, outcasts and Zoners, they where all surrounding a grave, It was Telaris and Lennes funeral, now they noticed that there where hundreds of people here, Zoners, BHG, Outcasts, Corsairs, there was even a women, in a cloak, pinned with a royal seal. John was standing over there graves, just staring at them, people staired up as beams of light pierced the cloud cover, shineing down over the entire mass, Auron was standing behind John with one hand on each shoulder. A small corsair boy walked up to Lenne's grave, and placed a flower on top and paused for a moment, then a women whispered to him, " Aiden, come on back "

Meanwhile, Onboard the Rheinland Cruiser Baltic, Captain Kreig was moitoring operations as they made there way to the Omega's and Rheinland.



A doctor walked up besides him, holding a sleeping newborn. " Sin|Tech thanks the Rheinland Millitary for there Aid in this operation " Kreigs expression didn't change, and as the doctor walked away he spoke quietly, and very cold, " You murdered her parents, just to run experiments on this little miracle, the deepest circle of hell is reserved for people like you, hope we don't cross paths again doctor....." and with that Kreig Ordered the Jump to Omega-15......

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
