Kirk
By Last Leg

I love my sister.

She means everything to me. When we were children, we dressed up like super heros and movies
stars. Sometimes we even put on plays for Mom and Dad. They loved to see us play together. I
remember when we went to the beach and built sand castles. We used to pretend to be monsters
from outer space and destroyed them.

Those were good times.

Dad built me a tree house one summer as a gift. I loved that house. It was my personal domain. I
noticed that my sister had been distant and quiet after it was finished. I could understand her
jealousy. I begged Dad to build her one and he did. I remember her face when I told her the good
news. She smiled and hugged me.

Soon after we had gotten comfortable with our new "forts," we wrestled and played together
often. Sometimes in her house and sometimes in mine. I made a promise to her that I intend to
keep. I was her protector and guardian for all eternity.

My sister and I were inseparable siblings. I sometimes felt sorry for our younger brother, Collen. I
talked it over with her and she said that she would spend some time with him. I did the same. We
painted and created works of art for Mom and Dad to keep.

I had always felt that I shared a sacred bond with my sister. No one could understand it but us.
We were a pair that could never be parted by even death. I never figured out what it was but time
would soon enlighten me.

We were thirteen when it happened.

On our way to the grocery store, we ran into three teenagers no older than sixteen. Either they
were high or just wanted to have some fun, but whatever the reason, they decided to take it out
on us. They harassed my sister and taunted her. I came to her defense instinctively. That earned
me a painful beating. When I fell to my hands and knees, two of our attackers began to kick me in
my ribs. I thought I was going to die, but it wasn't my life that I was worried about. I glanced up
for a second and saw my sister scrambling away from the third guy. Then I was kicked in the face
and I fell on my back in agony.

My lip was busted.

A loud shrieking cry came from my sister's direction. Our assailants cringed and covered their
ears. I looked up and saw my sister screaming at the top of her lungs, but it wasn't her voice. Her
voice sounded different and funny. I noticed briefly that the sound had no effect on me.

My sister stopped, surprised of her own action. The teenagers stared angrily at her and started
toward her. I could feel a power rising inside of me. I rose to my feet quickly and came up behind
one of them. I don't know why, but I jammed my fist inside of his back. There was a loud
crunching sound as my arm penetrated through his body and came out through his chest. I heard
him choke and pulled my arm out. He fell lifelessly to the ground. I didn't feel bad about what I
did at all.

I looked up at the other two guys. They stared at me in shock. My sister climbed to her feet
unfazed. The wind picked up and I felt good. I wanted something bad to happen to those people.
I wanted them to die. I closed my eyes and thought of them dying. When I opened them, our
attackers were thrown against a wire fence. They struggled and tried to move. Stay there, I
thought. They were still but screaming for help.

I looked at the gravel on the ground. My sister did the same. Kill them, I thought from my heart. I
want them to die.

The gravel seemed to obey me and rose into the air. The tiny rocks sped toward the two teenagers
and slammed through their bodies. The rocks cracked their skulls and drove into their brains.

The wind stopped and their corpses fell to the ground.

I don't know how long we were standing in silence. I blinked once and was myself again. My
sister started to cry.

I looked at my bloody arm. "Jesus . . ."

My sister started to walk away. "We have to get out of here."

Reluctantly, I used one of the corpse's shirts for a towel to wipe the blood from my arm. I joined
my sister and we ran far away from the crime scene. I couldn't believe what we had done.

My little sister sat down on a tree stump when we finally stopped. "There was this odd feeling
that came over me and I just . . ."

"I know. I felt the same way when I saw them about to hurt you." I said. "We can't tell anyone
about this."

"Yes." My sister agreed. "This has to be a secret. Not even Mom and Dad can know."

I nodded. We had to get home soon or our parents would worry and lecture us.

"How did we do it though?" My sister wondered.

"We'll talk about that when we get home." I said kindly. "Right now we have to hurry before
Mom and Dad start to worry."

"But your shirt." She pointed.

I looked down. The hem of my shirt and sleeves had stains of blood on it. My busted lip was
swollen too. I could accommodate for that but the shirt was going to be a little more tricky.

"Give me your sweater." I told her.

I took her sweater and wrapped around my waist casually, making sure to tuck away the stains
carefully.

We hurried to the grocery store and bought all of our items. I suggested we buy candy to calm
our nerves when we got home. We were silent and didn't say anything to each other. I kept
looking over my shoulder for anyone that may be following us such as dogs, thugs, and
policemen. We made sure to steer clear of the lot where the three dead bodies were on our way
home.

When we got there, my sister took the groceries to our parents while I went to my room to
change shirts. I headed for my tree house where my sister was waiting.

"Do you think we'll get in trouble for this?" She asked.

"I doubt it. I don't think anyone saw us kill them. Even if they did, we can deny everything. We
were at the store remember?" I replied.

If anyone asked us, we would lie. Simple as that.

"What was that power? How did we do it?" My sister brought up again.

"The question is," I reached out the window and broke off a branch from the tree. "can we do it
again?"

My sister looked on as I set the branch down in front of me. I concentrated long and hard. I
thought back to when we killed those thugs. I willed the branch to move. I wanted it to obey me.

The branch wiggled.

I pushed my mind harder and it slowly rose into the air in front of my face.

"Whoa!" My sis was amazed. "Can I try?"

"Sure. Just think and concentrate really hard on what you want it to do." I instructed and lowered
the branch to the floor again.

My sis stared at the branch. I could feel her urging and willing the branch to fly. I watched her and
the branch carefully. Nothing. Her shoulders sagged and she sighed. I knew she could do it, she
just had to reach further into her mind.

"Don't give up." I encouraged her. "Keep trying."

She tried again. I looked at the branch just as it started to wiggle. It shook again and slowly rose
into the air. It spun around once and was still.

I smiled, proud of my younger sister. "I knew you could do it."

"I bet we could do more." She said, thoughtfully. "Think of something."

Just what was my sister getting at. "Huh?"

"Tell me something using your mind. I'll try to guess what it is." She said.

I nodded and tried to think of something to say. An old poem our mother taught us years ago
came to me. I began reciting it in my head. My sister stared at me long and hard. I could feel her
eyes looking through me. I faintly began to hear her voice in my head. It got louder and louder.
She was reciting it with me.

. . . Through the cold and darkness
we shall look back on this day
and fall into oblivion.
Through a brilliance beyond twilight
we shall rise again,
ready to face the dangers that befall on us . . .

I smiled. We did it.

As the years passed, my sister and I increased our knowledge of our powers. We discovered new
ways to use them each day. The idea of teleporting came to mind a few months after our
encounter with those hoodlums. We taught ourselves attack spells incase we ran into anymore
"bad people." I didn't want to just be a magic user. So I suggested fighting would go perfect with
this. We made weapons for each other out of scrap metal and discarded objects. In the midst of all
of this training and togetherness, our younger brother was reluctantly pushed out of the picture.
We trained in secret and he always wanted to hang around and got in the way.

We really didn't have a choice.

Before we knew it, we were teenagers, just barely at the age of seventeen. It was time to think
about jobs.

"So what do you want to do?" My sister asked. "Fight crime in secret or go work for somebody
for some hard cash?"

"What do you think about the Yunzi Corporation?" I suggested.

"Yunzi? It's bad enough that they practically run everything on this continent, must we work for
them to?" She said.

"I know but who else can we work for? They already have an arsenal of skilled fighters and magic
users. With abilities like ours, we could become famous. I know they will surely let us in if we
swear allegiance to them." I looked at her pleadingly.

"And do you know what kind of missions they send those skilled fighters and magic users on?"
She looked at me as if though she couldn't believe I was asking her this. "We'll be killing people
and doing their dirty work."

I had already thought of that. But there was no other job that would take us out of debt quickly.

"I know but have we got to lose? Mom, Dad, and Collen will have each other. And I am sure we
will be able to visit them. I doubt they'll send us on separate missions. We'll request to remain
together, okay?"

My little sister sat back and sighed. I didn't think she would agree.

I placed my hand on hers and gave her the sad puppy face. "Think of the money we'll be getting."

Please Sis?

She sighed again. "Fine, but as long as we aren't signed up for life."

I smiled, leaned in, and kissed her.

Thank you Sis.

She smiled and kissed me back.

"We have to go sign up tomorrow. I want to get to work as soon as possible. I have a few things
I'd like to get on my shopping list." I said and sat back.

"Like what for instance?"

"Like better weapons and books of magic." Those were the top things on my list.

"But, dear brother, we already know magic." My sister chuckled.

"I know that but I mean the kind of magic they use in magic guilds and schools. We haven't been
able to afford anything like them. With money from Yunzi, every book will be at our disposal." I
explained.

"You're right. It would be wise to know the basic and advance magic that everyone else knows.
That way we can come up with ways to reflect it." My sister looked down at the floor. "Genius."

Arrogantly, I turned my nose in the air. "I know."

She threw a pillow at me. I blocked it and jumped on her before she could cry out. I pinned her
down. She was red in the face.

"Get off of me!" She protested.

"Not until you say it." I smiled and kept her still.

"Get off of me! I mean it!"

I dared her to try. "Say it."

Kirk is the coolest, most smartest guy in the whole wide world!

You forgot a part.

And he is the cutest guy that all the women want. There! You happy?

"Very much." I nodded.

I leaned down and kissed her. Thank you Sis.

If you hadn't noticed, kissing each other was a sign of our love for each other. We never thought
anymore of it. It was just a brother and sister thing that we shared. Best friends shook hands.
Sisters hugged. And we kissed. It was a normal everyday thing. But this kiss felt different in some
way. My sister kissed me in a way that was new to me. It was love-filled and passionate.

We parted briefly and stared at one another. My heart was beating hard in my chest. I didn't know
what I was doing. Without realizing it, I kissed her again. I felt comfortable being with her in that
position. I wanted to stay there . . . but I couldn't. I tore my lips away from hers and looked
deeply into her eyes. Reluctantly, I forced myself off of her and put distance between us. We were
silent. There was tension in the air.

It was a wonderful experience. Her lips never tasted so sweet.

"I think we should go help Mother with supper." I was the one to break the silence.

My sister nodded. "Right."

We left the tree house and went to help Mom with supper. My sister and had a debate at the
dinner table on whether or not to discuss our plans with Mom and Dad. My sister won of course.
When we told our parents, they disapproved immediately. It was time to reveal our powers to
them. I made their dinner plates float and Sis made the roast fly around the room. Mom almost
fell out of her chair. Dad was shocked. Our younger brother wanted to know if he could do that
too. I shrugged but I doubted it.

We let our parents sleep on it.

Early the next morning, Mom and Dad gave us the thumbs up. They only asked that we visit them
from time to time. My sister and I set out for the headquarters of the Yunzi Corporation. Upon
entering the building, we talked to the receptionist in the lobby. He looked at us like we were
spiders crawling on his desk. I ignored it though.

"Aren't you a little young to be magic users?" He asked. "The study of magic takes a long time.
Yunzi has no room for beginners."

I could feel my sister's irritation. Shortly, the receptionist was pulled from his chair and dangled in
the air upside down. Although Sis's face was unreadable, I could tell she was angry.

"Ahhh! Help! Someone help! Please!" The receptionist cried.

I decided to go along with it and folded my arms. I used my powers and brought the man face to
face.

"Don't underestimate us."

From the corner of my eye, I saw armed guards enter the lobby. They viewed us in surprise.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry!" The receptionist pleaded.

"Now, can we be interviewed or not?" I asked in a threatening tone.

"Yes! Yes! Put me down! Please! Anything you want!" He begged. "Just don't kill me! I have a
wife and son."

"I feel sorry for them." My sister remarked.

I wanted to smile but resisted and kept my hard gaze on the scared receptionist.

There's no time for this, Kirk. The guards are going to get trigger-happy in a few seconds.

I know.

I set the poor man back in his chair gently. The guards took a step or two closer.

"You two!" One shouted. "Come with us!"

Should we?

Yes. If they lock us up, we can still bust out of here or carry out our sentence. Which ever you
prefer.

The guards took us to an elevator for a very long and boring ride. My sister was a little impatient
but I kept cool. I wondered what they were going to do to us. After the ride, we were taken down
a few halls and to a room with a woman sitting at her desk. Next to her, were a large set of
double doors guarded by men.

They opened the doors for us and we walked in.

The office was extremely large. It was dark and creepy looking. It's oval shape was quite
interesting. The walls were a blood red that faded away to black near the floor. The ceiling was
dark and practically invisible. Peculiar statues were placed in various areas around the room. Far
in the back was large circular desk about twenty feet wide and three and a half high. It's custom
design wild and strange looking. Two guards were stationed behind it. The massive window in the
back gave a great view of the city outside.

In the chair behind the desk was a tall man with green hair and matching eyes. I knew it had to be
Muryo Yunzi, the head of the Yunzi Corporation. He motioned for us to come closer. I felt a bit
nervous as we approached him.

They sent us here? Why the CEO's office? Is he not afraid we will kill him?

Shhhh. Calm down. We need to see where this is going.

"I am Muryo Yunzi, the chief executive of Yunzi Corporations. I understand you want to be hired
for employment." Muryo looked us over. "What are your names?"

"Kirk Madison." I said.

"Laurie Madison." My sister stated.

"What field interests you?" Muryo asked us.

"Body guards." I replied.

"Oh? What makes you think you can protect me from any danger?" Muryo asked.

"We are skilled magicians." I wanted to add some great title to the end of that but nothing came
to mind.

"I did hear of your little episode in the lobby." Muryo told us.

"He insulted us." My sister spoke for the first time.

Muryo smiled. "You must demonstrate your magic to me."

Doors on both sides of the room opened. I glanced over to them and saw eight ninja surround us.
He wanted us to fight here? In the middle of his office? Well, I thought. If we get
any blood on the floor then it isn't our fault.

Don't use your strong magic here.

Should we kill them?

Afraid so.

Two ninjas charged at us. We sent them flying across the room. They hit the wall hard and slid
down to the floor motionless.

Two ninjas leapt at me from different sides with swords. I teleported just before their blades
struck and reappeared in the air above them.

"Fire snake!"

A cobra of fire rose from the ground and curled around the two ninjas. It hissed and crushed them
in a roaring blaze of fire. I floated to the ground nearby.

I looked at my sister in time to see her turn three ninjas into balls of fire. They dropped to the
floor screaming.

The final ninja rushed toward us.

Take him Sis.

My sister turned to the ninja.

"Whirlpool!"

The ninja was incased in a large water bubble. He struggled and fought to stand straight.
The air in his lungs escaped when he tried to scream. He began to spin faster and faster until he
made a whirlpool in the center of the room. The water soon became red as pieces of the ninja
began to fly out and splash everywhere. The spell completed and a bloody heap of flesh
fell to the floor.

My sister and I stood before Muryo again. The executive looked quite shocked at my sister's last
attack.

"I'm impressed. You have such supreme powers for young people. Never have I seen attacks
such as yours. Where did you study?" Muryo asked.

"Our back yard or an empty field." Laurie answered. "Any place that we can practice in peace."

Muryo raised an eyebrow. "You mean to tell me you learned to do that on your own? Surely you
had to read books or ask a wise man?"

I shook my head. "No. Our family is too poor to afford books or send us to magic school."

Muryo was silent. Thinking perhaps.

I don't think he believes us.

He has no choice. He obviously knows we are extremely powerful. If Muryo lets go of us, some
smaller company can easily rise to power and become a competitor. I don't think he would want
that.

You are so intelligent, Kirk.

I learned from the best.

Are you sure we are the best though? There could be others like us around that we don't know
about. What if he already has other people like us and they know more magic than we do?

I doubt it. If there were someone like that, they'd be all over the news. Besides, when we get the
money we need, we can learn every kind of magic.

And then some.

"If I do hire you, can I trust you not to turn on me and be there in my time of need?" Muryo
asked.

"There is no need to question our loyalty. We have a family to take care of that lives in an area
controlled by your corporation. If protecting them means protecting you, I can assure you that
your life is in no danger with us around." I said.

"Turning on you would be pointless and, besides, it's not our style." Laurie added.

"Understandable. I can see that you two mean no harm to me or my corporation and therefore I
may be able to hire you."

Good. But?

There had to be a catch in it somewhere.

"But, you must take a short course in hand-to-hand combat, field, and weapons training first. A
physical is required also." Muryo handed two manila folders to a guard.

The guard approached us and handed them to me.

"Fill out those forms and return them to my secretary in the morning. She'll send you to the
recruiter and he'll answer all your questions." Muryo said.

"Thank you, sir." We said in unison.

"My pleasure." Muryo said.

Turning around, we left the office and went to the elevator. I couldn't believe it! We'd done it!
But the fact that Muryo let us kill his own men was still bothering me.

I think the guards did not like us very much. When Muryo said that he would hire us, I sensed
negative vibes from both of them.

Me too. But I think we did pretty good. I just don't understand why he would let us kill his own
men. I guess he didn't think we could do anything.

That is sort of an advantage for both he and us. Because of our youth, people underestimate our
abilities therefore leaving them wide open for us. They won't realize our strength until it is too
late. I can't wait til we go on our first mission.

Patience, Laurie. Rushing into things can be a weakness and a cause of your downfall.

I know, I know.

We left the elevator and headed out the front doors. The receptionist said muttered something but
I ignored it. Laurie, on the other hand, decided to make the receptionist uncomfortable til we left.

As soon as we got home, we broke the good news to our parents and went to my tree house to
fill out the forms. Laurie was excited and made sure to fill out every answer carefully just as I did.
Just as any big brother would do, I found a perfect chance to anger my sister and took it.

"What did you put down for weight?" I asked.

Laurie narrowed her eyes at me causing me to grin.

"I didn't think this application was going to be so long. Look at this. We have at least 20 pages to
fill out each." Laurie flipped through the pages and put her pen down. "I don't know about you
but I am going to take a break."

"Aww, what's the matter Sis? Tired already? I can't wait to see you choke on the physical." I
chuckled.

She smirked at me. "No, it's just that my hand is cramping."

Like the caring person that I am, I went to my sister's aid and investigated her hand. I massaged
it gently and cast a healing spell on her a little at a time. She had soft hands.

. . . so kind to me . . . fine gentlemen . . . handsome man . . . nice body . . .

I listened to these faded words but said nothing. My sister . . . thought these things about me? I
couldn't believe it.

I looked up at her. She seemed shocked that I heard her personal thoughts. Our eyes locked. We
leaned closer to one another and met in passionate kiss. Our hands and arms found each other.
Within minutes, I was on top of my sister, kissing and probing her body. One by one, I unfastened
the buttons on her blouse. Again, my mind was taken over by some unknown force. I wanted to
feel her all over. Her body was a mystery to me. I needed to know it's limits.

When the last button was finished, my senses returned to me. We stared into each other's eyes.
Should stop now? I reluctantly rose off of her and moved away. Laurie sat up and started to fix
her buttons. I stared out of the window deep in thought. What was wrong with me? My sister and
I never did things like this. I wanted to say something to her, but what? I could still feel the need
for her within me.

I glanced at her and then turned my eyes to the floor. Laurie looked at me. She didn't seem upset
about it at all. Our eyes locked again. We moved closer.

Our mouths came together.

"Hey guys!" We heard Collen coming up the ladder.

We separated and picked up our applications. Collen popped his head in the entrance a few
seconds later.

He pulled himself into the tree house and sat down. "So what's the big cheese like?"

"Mysterious." Laurie answered.

"And careful about who he chooses to work for him. I'm surprised he even gave us applications."
I added.

"So you guys have to take a whole bunch of tests and everything?" Collen asked.

"Yes. I'm sure Laurie will fail every one of them." I snickered.

"Oh, stop picking on me." She whined.

Collen laughed and started down the ladder. "Well, good luck!"

"Thank you Collen." Laurie called after him.

He poked his head back through the door. "Oh yeah, Mom told me to tell you that we are all
going out for a little while to find some tiles to fix the roof. Dad wants Kirk to help him when we
get back so stay out of trouble."

"Thanks Collen." I said dryly.

Collen laughed and left.

"Phew!" Laurie said and set her tablet down.

I looked at her. Phew? What did that mean? I couldn't think anymore. I just stared at her absently.
I couldn't take my eyes off of her. She was so beautiful. Her soft brown eyes were breath taking
and her golden hair was intriguing. Laurie's skin looked soft like baby's skin. He legs were
stretched out and crossed. I never noticed how long her legs were. I wanted to touch them. She
looked so tempting just sitting there. But she was my sister. I shouldn't be having such thought's
about her. But, she was sexy looking . . . Sexy? Where did that come from?

When she looked at me, I moved next to her.

"How's your hand?" I said, taking it gently.

"A little better. Thank you." She said quietly.

I kissed her hand lightly and glanced at her. Slowly, our lips came together. I opened my mouth
and massaged her tongue with my own. The temptation was too hard to resist. When my hands
touched her, I couldn't stop. She was so soft. I went for her buttons like a wild dog. I wanted to
see her body again. I wanted to taste it. She was completely nude when I finished with her. I took
of my shirt and I kissed her neck.

Oh Brother . . . is this right?

Does it feel right to you?

I nibbled her ear and unzipped my pants. My sister sighed with pleasure when I slipped my penis
into her wound slowly. I had to be careful because I didn't want to hurt her. She was so tight.

Yes, but we are siblings. This can't be right.

We are the only people that we know of like us. I doubt it is wrong to love each other . . . even
if we are family.

I convinced myself that there was nothing wrong with making love to Laurie. Although my
conscience disapproved, I ignored it.

I placed my hands in hers and thrust my hips into her. Laurie moaned and squeezed her eyes shut.
I kissed and licked her neck. She began to move with me.

Oh Brother . . . (sigh) . . .

Her voice sounded so desperate. I grunted with each movement and quickened my pace. I had to
satisfy her. I pushed myself deeper and deeper into her. My sister's first orgasm was sweet music
to me.

Laurie . . .

I hovered above her and moved faster. I had to return the favor. My sister held onto me and
squeezed.. The volume of her moans increased. Her cunt was a ticking time bomb. I forced myself
into her, harder and harder. My penis throbbed within her supple body. When her walls closed on
me, I let out a mighty groan and exploded.

I collapsed on my sister, breathing hard from exhaustion. In fear of squashing her, I raised up and
kissed her. We were satisfied. Finally, we had been joined together in the dance of love.

A thought occurred to me. If Sis were to become pregnant from this, we would both be in
trouble.

Laurie opened her mouth to say something but I stopped her. She looked at me curiously. I
moved down between her legs.

If I could tweak her reproductive system a little, we would be in the clear. I kissed her cunt lightly
and waited.

Nothing.

I decided to try again from the inside.

What are you doing?

You'll see.

I took my index and middle finger and inserted them into my sister. Out of spite, I wiggled them.
Laurie moaned to my pleasure. I conjured a magic spell to destroy any sperm or fertilized egg in
her wound. Laurie reacted slightly.

Success.

I lowered my head and licked in between the lips. It sent chills up and down Laurie's body. Just
for experimentation, I flicked her clit with the tip of my tongue. Laurie arched her back and
moaned. I wrapped my arms around both of her legs for support and feasted on her womanhood.
She rubbed my hair and pressed my head into her cunt. I continued licking and probing until she
came again. Her cum was as sweet as her lips.

What did you do?

Just something to keep you from getting pregnant. We are too close to getting what we want for
that.

You are so smart, Kirk. Kiss me.

I crawled up to her face and kissed her passionately.

I couldn't believe I had made love to my little sister but I didn't regret it. She seemed happy
enough with it and so was I.

The next day, we returned to the Yunzi building and handed in our applications. We were sent to
a recruiter to discuss the necessary training courses we had to take. I was more interested in
combat training. I wanted to learn how to fight the right way than look silly. We were informed
that we wouldn't just be body guards. We would have to go on missions and do things for Muryo.

I asked the recruiter about our pay. I knew we would be paid a lot but never like this. We would
be get 170,000 huns a year. I couldn't wait to get to work.

To my advantage, hand-to-hand combat was the first course we took. The other recruits were
struggling to stay focused and get the moves right. Laurie and I had no trouble at all. We handled
everything smoothly and were perfect almost every time. Our instructors were impressed with our
progress. We were commended many times.

Scientists and doctors could not explain our natural abilities. We had to go in for check ups often
and had to give various amounts of blood and tissue samples. Our speed, magical abilities, and
strength were a mystery to everyone around us.

After a short while we had gained the attention of many recruits and were treated like luminary
soldiers. My sister and I kept to ourselves mostly and stayed away from everyone else.

Learning the basics of magic were our. We handled that one easily. Even though we could
preform magic at will, we still had to train with what the Gundis, or magic guilders, were using.
They needed the aid of marble sized beads and jewels that were blessed by ancient gods long ago.

An old guilder, Runal, was jealous of our talents and did everything in his power to try to
humiliate us. My sister and I managed to stay ahead of him though.

He came to my sister one day when she was engaged in a conversation with another female
recruit.

"All right then, since you seem to know everything, tell me, what elemental is thunder?" Runal
pointed at my sister accusingly. "Laurie?"

"That is a trick question. Thunder is a non-elemental therefore has no opposing force. For
example, a lightening-based monster will not be weak against a Fire Mammoth or an Ice
Monkey's magic attacks but they will be weak against each other." Laurie explained.

Runal gave her a dirty look and walked away. I smiled at her. She was learning patience.

I hadn't noticed til later that my sister had a small fan club of guys that were attracted to her. I
wasn't worried about it though. Laurie could handle herself. None of the guys ever tried anything
though, possibly because they feared me. One brave soul did take a chance and approached her.
He seemed harmless enough but looks were always deceiving.

Surprisingly, my sister let him hang around. I guess she figured that he would go away on his own
or not be a bother. But when he insisted on breaking into our quiet time, we finally snapped. Evil
glances and a few small blasts of wind gave him the idea that we didn't want him around anymore.
He left in hurry.

My sister wasn't the only one that had admirers. A collective of female recruits had hungry eyes
pointed in my direction. I avoided looking at them and turned away their advances. The fearless
girls came to me one by one and even together a few times. It took me a long time to shake them
off. Laurie was the only woman in my life. I was going to keep it that way.

Many times, Laurie and I snuck out of the barracks and teleported to our tree houses or
abandoned buildings to make love. It was fun to sneak around.

Our new employer watched our training process from a distance. I could tell he was impressed
with our work. He requested that we be put up against the top Gundis and soldiers Yunzi had in
their arsenal. When we fought alone, we were powerful. When we fought together, we were
unbeatable. Muryo wanted us in uniform as soon as possible.

Our training was finally complete and we were ready to go. Muryo moved us into his mansion
along with his other special employees. That action was reasonable seeing as how we were now
his personal body guards. It seems that we applied for the job just in time. Muryo was gaining
enemies and his last body guards were either dead or fired because of their crippling injuries.
Healing magic could only do so much.

I spent the day exploring the different areas around the mansion. It would be best to know the
area well incase of an emergency. My sister did the same but felt it was necessary to stop at every
cute little thing or admire every priceless painting. I didn't blame her though. The house was
magnificent.

That evening, I felt it was appropriate to christen the start of our new life and sought pleasure
from Laurie. When I came to her bed, she was reading a book, slightly ignoring me. I licked her
ear a little and she giggled. I suckled her earlobes and gently nibbled on them.

I rubbed her leg with my right hand, slowly creeping inside her gown.

Sister, time to put your bookmark in.

Screw the bookmark.

Laurie tossed the book on the floor. As she faced me, my hand reached up and stroked her tight
nipples through the silk fabric of her gown. I pinched and caressed them softly. We continued our
passionate kiss.

My sister pushed me back slightly and sat on my lap. My growing erection was surely going to rip
through my shorts. She wiggled her hips, teasing me. I moaned a little. Sis pulled my shorts down
just enough to release the tension on my manhood and inserted it in her body. I grabbed her hips
as she started to work her magic on me. I moaned again. It wouldn't take me long to cum.

I wanted to feel her again. I removed my hands from her waist to pull off her gown. I touched and
probed her vigorously. She sighed and held me close.

Brother . . .

Her orgasm exploded. Laurie managed to keep her moans quiet and not as frequent. I exhaled
when her walls urged me to fill her. I couldn't hold it for long. I latched onto her waist again and
grinded her hips into mine. I groaned loudly when I came. Laurie kissed me to muffle it.

Dear sister o' mine, you appease me.

I turned her on her side and rammed my penis inside of her cunt. She laid there lifelessly and let
my wild movements thrill her. I quickened my pace and squeezed her tighter. Still connected, I
turned her on her back and rode her like there was no tomorrow. Laurie moaned and encouraged
me to cum again. I did it harder and harder. I came shortly and squirted every drop inside of my
little sister.

We made love for another hour, rested, then made love some more. There was no end to that
night.

For the first few weeks, Laurie and I accompanied Muryo on business trips and meetings in enemy
or questionable territories. I didn't mind the traveling. We got to see new exotic places for the
first time and stayed at places much like Muryo's home. It was definitely a treat for my sister and
I.

Our constant association with the "big cheese" had gained us respect from the other employees.
We were almost treated as well as Muryo himself. Word of our unique powers had spread quickly
throughout the office but few had witnessed our skills. It was only a matter of time before our
strength was viewed by the public.

Muryo had an assignment for us and called us to his office for briefing.

"There is a new threat to Yunzi Corporations. A rebel group with a massive population has taken
over a town and is using it as a temporary headquarters. From what my spies tell me, their
intentions are negative and harmful to me and the people in my district." Muryo pressed a button
on his desk and a holographic map appeared before us. "The area they have taken over is just
northwest of here in the town of Nundae."

The map transformed into a man far past middle age. He had a scar above his right eye and his left
ear was missing. The man's face was rugged and dirty. I studied him while Muryo talked.

"This is their leader, Arnald. Your mission is to capture Arnald and bring him back here for
questioning. You are to use any means necessary. Destroy anyone or anything that stands in your
way. You will be in charge of an army of 4,000 men. You are to leave tonight at 2200 hours. You
should arrive there around 0300. Attack at once." Muryo instructed. "Think you can handle it?"

"Yes sir!" We said in unison.

"I knew I could count on you." Muryo waved us away. "Dismissed."

We nodded and teleported out of the room.

As ordered, Sis and I guided 4,000 soldiers to the northwest toward Nundae. Most men traveled
in the hover tanks. Others were on foot, bringing up in the rear. I could feel Sis becoming
overwhelmed with anxiety. I talked her into calming down and reminded her that I was there with
her.

About five miles away from Nundae, we let the soldiers rest and sent a scout ahead to check out
the town's status. A few of Arnald's patrolling men had spotted him and chased him for five miles
straight to us. When they saw us in the distance, they turned tail and attempted to go back to the
safety of the town.

Laurie took care of them.

After a brief talk with the scout, we formulated a strategy. Laurie and I split the men in half. I
traveled east with 2,000 troops to launch my attack from there. Laurie moved her half closer to
wait for my signal.

My men had to make a wide semi-circle to avoid being seen by Arnald's followers. We found a
place behind a few large boulders to hide behind. I checked with my men to see if they were
ready.

"All set sir." Reported a high grunt.

Are you ready, Sis?

As always. Arnald is holding up in the elder's guild. I'll meet up with you there.

All right. We'll draw their attention to the east first and I'll signal you to attack from the south.

Right. Go!

I nodded and rose into the air.

I aimed my hands at the town wall. "Fireball!"

It exploded into a million little pieces, leaving a gigantic hole. Patrolling enemies died almost
instantly.

I pointed at Nundae. "Charge!"

All 2,000 of my men came out of their hiding places and stormed the town. I saw a few Gundis
appear and I immediately cast Magical Barrier on all of my men. I blasted them away with a
couple of fireballs.

I rose higher into the air. I could see most of the men were focusing their attention us.

Now, Sis!

My army reached the wall and vanquished our enemies. My sister's army was coming in from the
south and completely took them by surprise. They got through the front gates easily with the help
of Laurie.

I flew in and took out the Gundis that were flying overhead on my way to the elder's house. I
lowered myself to the ground. Six men surrounded me.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Circle of Death!"

A line of light appeared on the ground and made a circle around me and my attackers. The ground
below us disappeared and the face of a demon emerged. I hovered in the air motionless. The men
screamed and tired to run. The demon laughed harshly and went right through each man like a
ghost through a wall. It took the sadden soul of its victims and dragged them screaming back to
the pit of blackness and into oblivion.

The ground reappeared under my feet.

Fighting my way to the house of the elder, I noticed Laurie destroying the remaining Gundis
flying through the air. I hurried into the house and found a brutally beaten elder and his servants
tied up in the attic.

I freed a servant and checked on the elder. I cured them all with my magic but it didn't seem to
have a great effect on the old man.

"Where did Arnald go?" I asked.

The old man's eyes fought to focus on my face. " . . . . The . . . the . . ."

He was gone. The servants took him away from me and began to cry.

I stood and left the house. I was met by a few ninja and a Gundi. I disposed of them quickly.
Laurie dropped in behind me and began fighting with a couple of soldiers.

I don't think Arnald is in the house anymore.

She disappeared a few minutes later.

Kirk! The barn!

I rose up into the air and followed Laurie to the barn. Down below, we saw Arnald and a few of
his henchmen running for a barn on the outskirts of town.

Laurie pointed. "There he goes!"

Arnald disappeared inside seconds before we were about to land. The building started to shake
and soon fell apart into pieces of firewood. A massive mechanical dragon rose to its feet. With a
mighty roar it sent shockwaves into the air, pushing us back slightly. It snarled and snorted fire.
As it turned to face us, I spotted Arnald snickering in the cock pit.

The dragon spit a fireball in our direction. Luckily, we were able to avoid it.

"Fire Chain!" I countered.

The dragon reared up and flapped the fire away with its wings.

My sister tried a rear attack and just barely missed it's flinging tail.

"Snakel Smack!" She cried.

The dragon used its wings for a shield.

We are going at this all wrong.

What should we do? We can't kill him. Muryo wants him alive. If we use our more advanced
magic, we could destroy him.

Unless . . .

What?

Laurie, cast a Magic shield on Arnald. A powerful one.

Okay.

After I saw the shield appear around Arnald, I raised my hands to conjure a spell.

"Flash Mind!"

Several waves of electricity showered down on the machine. It started to smoke and shake.
Arnald was protected by my sister's shield. The monster began to fall and brake apart.

Great plan!

Only from the best.

Our soldiers had won the battle back in town. With Arnald and a few prisoners, we went back to
the city in victory.

That night, my sister came to visit me in my room. We made love for most of the night.
Afterwards, I held Laurie close to me on my chest.

Dear brother, in what way do you love me?

What brought this up?

Just curious. In what way do you love me?

I care about you as a lover and most of all, a sister. Don't you feel the same way about me?

Of course I do. That makes us a couple then.

What is upsetting you?

I don't think Mom and Dad will agree with our choices for mates. We are blood.

. . . I know that. Mom and Dad will just have to learn to understand.

I guess she was trying to confirm our love. It wasn't a dumb question but it made me think. I
really did love being with my sister. She was everything to me. My love, my life, my future. I
loved her. If there were any way that we could be wed, we would be spouses by now. But Laurie
had brought up a good point. Mom and Dad had to find out sooner or later. I didn't know how
they would take it.

Our first vacation came up shortly after the mission. My sister and I took the long way home. We
didn't get to see much of our hometown anymore. We saw old places that were full of memories.
We even went through the old lot where my sister and I first discovered our powers.

When we got home, our house had been completely transformed. It was the richest home on the
block. Our parents had become idolized for their treasures. The house was now two stories high
and the yard was much large than before. The grass and bushes were perfectly trimmed and the
fountain made it look even more beautiful. The garden Mom always dreamed of was in the back
yard. Our old tree houses were still there, now invaded by branches and foliage.

Mom and Dad were so happy to see us. Collen was too. Apparently, he found someone to keep
him company in our absence. His girlfriend was charming and very beautiful.

Laurie went with Mother in the kitchen chatting away about things at work. I followed Dad
outside. He was a king overlooking his kingdom and granted all the power in the world.

"I am proud of both you and your sister. You have become valiant knights in the army of chaos. I
must show you off to the neighbors." Father smiled at me.

I'm telling Mom. Tell Dad.

Right.

"I always feared the day that you two would leave the nest, find a mate, and start a family. I
always wanted you near me but I knew the day would come. And here it is. You are all grown up
and have no need for your ol' pop to be telling you what to do." Father laughed. "You are a fine
lad and your sister is quite a female. With a reputation like yours, I doubt you will have any
trouble obtaining a wife."

"That's not entirely true, Father." I said.

He was interested. "Oh? Well I guess you will have to watch out for those money grubbing
women."

"That's not what I meant." I said. "I have found a girl that I would love to marry . . . but . . ."

"You have?! Where is she? You should have brought her here to me us. Your mother will be
proud." Father said. He rubbed his chin. "But what? Why can't you marry her?

"Because . . . it's not permitted by law." I scratched my head nervously.

"What are you talking about? All marriage's are permitted. Hell, even gay marriages!" I had a
feeling he thought I was joking. "Except unless you are marrying a cousin or something but my
boy would never do that."

I looked away at the ground and kept quiet. Father looked at me for a reaction then it hit him.
The look on his face told me that he was hoping for the very opposite of what he was thinking.

"She is outside of the family, isn't she?" Father asked me slowly.

I shook my head.

Father's face was unreadable. "Who is she?"

I hesitated. " . . . Laurie . . ."

He threw his hands in the air. "Are you out of your mind boy?! She is your fucking sister! YOU
ARE FAMILY!! What will your mother think!"

This is bad.

"No, I am not crazy. Laurie and I are in love. She's already telling Mother." I said calmly.

"I can't believe I'm hearing this! I knew you two were close but FUCK!"

Father stormed off into the house muttering a string of curse words and profanity. I followed him
inside to the kitchen.

Mother was crying and Laurie was looking very hurt. She fell into Dad's arms and he held her
gently.

"I don't believe this! You are brother and sister for goodness sake!" Our mother shrieked.

"We are aware of that fact." I said.

"It just happened." Laurie explained.

"What just happened?!" Dad was outraged. "You've slept together too?"

Both of us hesitated a second too long.

"That is just sick!" Mother screamed.

"Get out!" Father said.

It wasn't suppose to happen like this. They had to understand Laurie and I had feelings for each
other.

"But Dad-" I started.

"OUT!" Father snapped.

My sister and I sighed. It was hopeless.

Come on Sis . . .

Collen and his girlfriend came rushing into the room. Before he could ask what was going on, we
teleported out of the house.

We said nothing to each other when we returned to the Yunzi building. My sister looked as if she
wanted to cry but the tears wouldn't come. I suppose she was in shock. I wanted to comfort her
but, it was best to talk to Muryo first. He was surprised to see us when we arrived.

"What are you two doing here?" He asked. "I thought you were going home to see your family?"

"We have no family." I told him.

His eyes scanned over us and stopped at my sister. Her head was turned away and toward the
floor. Her face was hidden partially by her hair. I knew if the silence remained any longer he
would start to ask questions.

"We would like to get back to work as soon as possible." I added.

"Very well then." Muryo said. "I'm going to send a team of researchers to a town not too far
from here in a couple of days. Escort them and make sure they get there safely."

"Yes, sir." I replied.

I could feel Muryo's curiosity growing. "Dismissed."

We bowed and teleported out of the office.

When we got to my room in the mansion, Laurie went straight to bed. She plopped down on it
and began to weep. I could understand her pain. Mother and Father were so happy with us that I
thought they might take it with little negativity. But it was just the opposite. Now we were exiled
from the pack. Discarded from the pride. Kicked out of the nest.

We were alone.

I sat next to her on the bed.

We aren't too bad off, Sis.

She continued her weeping. I tried to think of more comforting things to say. I laid next to her
and held her close.

We still have each other. That's all that matters now.

There was only one thing I could think of to take her mind off of the suffering she felt. I started to
kiss and suckle her neck softly. She responded and kissed me back. My hands probed her body all
over. Her nipples were erect. I reached under her blouse and pinched them. She moaned and
submitted her body to me.

We made love twice that night. By then she was tired and fell asleep quickly. Hopefully by
tomorrow she wouldn't be so sad.

Laurie was awoke in my arms when I opened my eyes the next morning.

Feeling better?

A little. It still hurts.

Don't worry Sis. I still love you.

And I love you.

I held her tighter.

Make love to me Brother . . . please.

As you wish, Little Sister . . .

Laurie had caught on.

Sex was the only thing that made the pain go away. That and killing our enemies. Now we only
fought for each other. There was nothing left to protect or anyone to support, so we dedicated
ourselves to our jobs at Yunzi. The battlefield was our home. The mansion was our tree house
and Muryo was our master. Our fighting abilities improved and changed tremendously. We had
nothing to lose. We loved each other and we loved fighting.

As our fame started to rise, we created new names for ourselves. Now that we were excluded
from the Madison heritage, we could do whatever we wanted. I chose the name of Flare. My
sister chose Ivy.

Muryo agreed with the names and let them stick. He looked up our personal profiles and had
them erased. Medical history and legal documents of our existence were deleted or destroyed.
The only records of us were in Muryo's private files. We didn't speak, or do many public
appearances unless Muryo wanted us to.

Because of us, Yunzi had become more powerful and an even larger threat to rival companies. It
expanded over 5,000 acres in a course of 2 years. Our authority around the corporation and city
was almost as great as Muryo himself. There were very few things that we were not permitted
to have or see.

The fear radiating off of people whenever we entered a room was somewhat pleasing. I enjoyed
it. Just looking at someone would make them quiver and back away. The media took pleasure in
putting our faces on the news. Many people tried to offer us money or make a bargain with
Muryo just to have an exclusive interview with us. We were an "Unbeatable Duo," "The Dreaded
Twins," "The Two Masters," "Flare and Ivy the Great."

We had countless nicknames. But we never let the fame and glory get to our heads. All of the
publicity was just a mask for our true feelings and thoughts.

Late one night, the genetics laboratory was attacked unexpectedly. Five minutes later, the
bio-research lab blew up. My sister and I split up to check it out. When I reached the bio-lab,
there was nothing there. No one was around and the building was left in ruins. I knew the people
responsible couldn't have gotten far.

A ball of blue light hit the ground near me. I looked up and saw a man and woman hovering in the
air above. Rising into the air, I watched them carefully. They were Sundruffs, a species
endangered of becoming extinct. It was rare to see one let alone two alive. Gundis and high magi
hunted them because of their ideas of overthrowing the human race and their feathers for magic
spells.

The male had long wings of black and silver. He was tall and skinny but his muscles showed his
strength. He had dark red hair and black eyes. His peculiar uniform matched his wings.

His associate was a beautiful female that looked no older than my sister. She had on a tight fitting
black skirt and red heels. Her white low-cut top exposed most of her breasts but held them tightly
in place. The female's hair was as black as the night and her lips were as red as a rose. Her figure
could make a cold hearted man melt. Every curve was perfect and well proportioned.

She flapped her black wings once every few seconds and licked her lips.

"So this is Flare." She scanned me. "You don't look so bad in person."

"This is a restricted area." I said. "Leave now and I'll let you live."

She turned her nose up at me. "Quite a charmer but not very threatening. Come and get it big
boy."

A fire rod came at both of them from behind. They shot into the sky and dodged it.

"An attack from behind? How typical." She smirked. "Implosion!"

Multiple bursts of energy exploded all around me. I barely dodged them and flew toward the
woman. She raised her fist to me.

"Knuckle crack!"

A ball of crackling white light sped toward me. I moved out of the way just in time. The man
stayed back and watched. I kept my eye on him though. I wondered how my sister was doing.

Ivy, are you alright?

So far. I'm fighting couple of male Sundruffs. I don't know where they came from. Ugh! But
they sure are tough.

I know. Reinforcements are on their way. Hang on til then.

Sure thing Flare. Piece of cake.

I dodged another blast from the woman.

"Got it." The male finally spoke up.

He was holding an electronic device in his hands. A dart stabbed me in my back. It stung a little. I
pulled it out and threw it down. The woman smiled at me and flew over to him.

"Ramire was right. They are telepathic."

He looked at me with unreadable eyes. "Let's get out of here."

With lightening speed, they flew away. I was confused. What did she mean? Why did they attack
us?

Flare! They left.

So did the ones over here.

What do we do now?

We have to report to Muryo. We'll meet up there.

Right.

Just as planned, my sister and I met up in Muryo's office.

"Who were they?" He asked.

"Sundruffs, sir. Three males, one female." Ivy said.

"Do you have any idea of what they wanted?"

"We're not sure. But they used instruments that could read or sense our telepathic
messages." I told him.

"They had plenty of advanced attacks for mere Sundruffs." Ivy added. "They left both buildings in
ruins."

"Telepathy reading machines and special attacks." Muryo looked down in thought. "I believe we
have a new threat. Someone is trying to study you and find out your weaknesses. Your personal
information was once held in those buildings. I think that is what they were looking for."

Study us?

"Did they say anything else? Something of value?" Muryo asked.

"The female said someone named Ramire was right about our telepathy." I said.

"Ramire." Muryo repeated. "Sounds slightly familiar."

"Your orders sir?" Ivy asked.

"Be cautious with whoever you do battle with in the future but don't let it hinder your fighting
ability. If they show up again, do not use your telepathy. You can fight them but don't get
yourself killed. Understood?"

"Yes, sir!" We said in unison.

"You may leave."

Ivy and I teleported out of the room.

Muryo increased the security around the city three times. He suspected an inside job and had
background checks on all of his employees except us. We were Muryo's valued assets. The future
of his company revolved around us. If anyone found out what we were able to do or how to
defeat us, then it would cause great trouble.

The four Sundruffs had superior powers. People of that race usually had the strength of a high
priest but theirs was far more greater.

When we got back to bed, Ivy and I made sweet love. Our boss already knew of our incestuous
love and didn't care whether or not we spent the night in the same room. The whole thing really
didn't seem to bother him at all.

I was on top of her, pushing as much of me inside her as possible. Ivy moaned more as her
breathing increased. She held onto my rear and had an orgasm. I groaned and encourage her to
continue. I loved how her walls gripped my cock and wouldn't let go. I leaned down to lick her
neck. She tilted her head up and shut her eyes. My tongue traveled over her upper body, leaving a
gooey trail. My cock created an earthquake inside my sister's supple body.

When I rose up to smile at her, it wasn't her. I was laying on top of the female Sundruff. I drew
back a little. She looked worried.

"What's wrong Dear?" She asked.

I shook my head clear. Ivy was Ivy again. She looked troubled. Her hand rested on the back of
my neck.

"Nothing." I said blinking. "Just thought I was seeing things."

"I understand. It's been a long night. You need your rest." She kissed me. "Sleep well."

I preformed the birth control spell on Ivy and held her in my arms. I dosed off shortly after.

I dreamed of being with my sister that night. We were kids again and playing in a grassy field.
Then we were older and playing in our tree houses. Next we were teenagers. We were making
love together. But the person that was suppose to be Ivy wasn't my sister. It was that Sundruff
again.

I awoke the next morning startled. I had a dream about that woman. We were making love and
she was telling me all sorts of wonderful things. I wanted to tell Ivy about it but I couldn't. She
would worry too much.

It had been a month since we had fought with the Sundruffs. We hadn't heard of or seen them
since. But every night I would dream about that woman with black hair. When my sister and I
made love, I would see her face instead. During the day, I craved her luscious body. I often
dragged Ivy off to a private place to satisfy my thirst. Ivy continuously questioned my health but I
denied her any answers. Whenever she looked hurt and sad, I would kiss her on her nose and tell
her everything was alright.

I couldn't understand why I was feeling strange. I thought it would be best to figure it out on my
own.

Muryo had separate jobs for Ivy and I.

Terrorist had invaded a village on the outskirts of the city. Ivy was sent to lead a small army to
free the people and save the town. Muryo was giving a tour of his new upgraded research lab to
various metropolitan lords and rulers in hopes that they'd sign a peace treaty. I had to be there
incase a pigmy wielding a gun popped out of someone's chest and tried t kill him. I knew that
Muryo would eventually turn on them and add their cities to Yunzi a year or so later.

I wanted to go with Ivy but I knew she could hold her own in a fight. Besides, it was a terrorist
group. They were mere insects compared to our powers.

I got a good look at every rich man's face. Those were the men that I would one day be
slaughtering in their beds. There was one man in particular that I knew I would take pleasure in
killing. He was asking annoying questions and kept hinting about working for him. I had words to
share with Muryo after they left.

We first had a meeting about Muryo's future plans.

That went well.

Then Muryo treated them to refreshments and a snack. That was the best part. I got to sit down
or leave the wandering eyes of the ol' folk. Then came the most tiresome part of the get-together.
I followed Muryo while he played host to the small but successful rival businessmen. He stopped
at various places and explained everything he knew about them. I was extremely bored and Muryo
knew it. I did him a favor and didn't show it.

I felt Ivy becoming filled with anxiety. I was going to ask her what was wrong but Muryo called
me over. The business men were busy watching a demonstration put on by a scientist.

"How is the battle going?" Muryo whispered.

"I'm not sure, sir. Ivy is getting upset for some reason."

Help me! Oh please! Help!

My eyes grew wide with fear.

Muryo read my face. "What's wrong?"

"My sister is in trouble. She just screamed for help." I whispered.

"Try to find out what's happening." Muryo summoned a guard. He kept his voice low. "After
this, have Teton take them out to the retreat. I don't trust them so have them watched at all times.
Have you men on standby, we may be going into battle."

"Yes, sir." The man saluted and left.

Muryo and I left the noble men and went into an elevator up to Muryo's office.

Ivy?

No answer.

Ivy what's wrong? Are you hurt?

Silence.

A bottomless pit of emptiness filled the spot where my sister used to be. I held my stomach. I
couldn't feel her anymore.

"Flare?" Muryo asked.

I fell to my knees and started to shake. " . . . s . . . she's . . . gone . . ."

"Not your sister?" He couldn't believe it.

Tears started to form and rolled down my cheeks.

" . . . I can't . . . I can't feel her anymore . . ." I said. Visions of her death flooded my head. ". . .
She's . . . gone . . . or . . ."

I couldn't think straight. My sister was gone. A part of me had been ripped out. I could no longer
feel her flowing through my veins. Her gentle warmth had left my heart cold. Her smiling face
vanished from my mind. Ivy's scream rang through my ears like a church bell. I couldn't help her.
I couldn't save her. I let her die.

" . . . send aerial units now . . ." I heard Muryo order on the speaker phone.

"Way ahead of you sir. They found one of our guys wandering around the outskirts and are
picking him up as we speak." A soldier reported on the other end.

"What condition is the town in?"

"It's a total massacre, sir. Dead soldiers everywhere. I doubt we can identify all of them."

"Any sign of Ivy?" Muryo asked.

I listened well.

"No, sir. We are still searching for Commander Ivy."

"Very well then. Continue your search."

"Yes, sir!"

About half an hour later, helicopters landed on the roof. The frightened soldier was taken to the
infirmary before we could see him. He was fine except a little shaken. Even though he was
in shock, he was able to talk to us.

"Who attacked you?" Muryo asked.

". . . Su . . .Sundruffs! Three of them!" He stammered.

My heart went up into my throat. I tried not to imagine what my little sister had to go through.

"What happened?"

"The scout reported that the town was deserted. Commander Ivy led us in to see if it were true.
When we got there, the village was empty. No villagers, no terrorists. We spread out to look for
survivors and that's when they attacked . . . They started picking us off one by one. Then they
started attacking us in groups . . . They were so fast, we had no time to react. One of them
attacked Commander Ivy. Other soldiers tried to help her but a second Sundruff killed anyone that
interfered . . ." His voice trailed off.

"Go on." Muryo urged.

" . . . One of them, the one with red hair, captured me and told me that I was to live. He gave me
a message to tell "the one called Flare and President Muryo."

"What is the message?" I asked, wishing for the best.

"We have one hornet and soon shall follow the next. If not so true, death is the best. Hand over
the hive, and all the rest. You have 70 hours to complete this test." The soldier recited.

I didn't understand. "What does that mean? Hive?"

Muryo stood up straight. "I believe I know."

He folded his arms in thought.

"Two hornets. That may mean you and Ivy . ". . . soon shall follow the next. If not so true, death
is the best . . ." Which means that if you don't go to them, they'll kill her."

Good, she was alive. But how does Muryo know this? "We don't even know where they are."

"What was the next part?" Muryo asked the soldier.

"Uh . . . Hand over the hive, and all the rest. You have 70 hours to complete this test." The
soldier said.

My boss repeated everything quietly to himself. " . . . Hand over the hive, and all the rest . . ."
could mean the corporation and its employees. The 70 hours is how long I have to respond."

"How do you know for sure, sir?" I asked.

"I remember an old acquaintance of mine that wanted the family business. Actually he was my half
brother, Randal Myers. He was next in line to take control of Yunzi, but my father favored me
and Randal became jealous. Father wrote in his will that I was to inherit it first. When my brother
found out, he confronted me and tried to convince me to hand everything over to him. When I
refused, he left and I haven't heard of him since." Muryo looked at the floor. "It was many years
ago. I almost forgot about it. We used to say riddles like that all the time to each other. I suppose
he changed his name to that Ramire that you were talking about, Flare."

"Yes." I nodded.

"But right now, we have to figure out where Ivy is." He turned to me. "I know that you must
want to seek her out but I need you to be here with me."

I could understand the stress and weight of responsibility on Muryo's shoulders. I nodded in
approval.

"I'll have my men begin a search right away."

Muryo ordered his army to do a world wide search for, my sister. I was upset all day but managed
to keep up my composure. My employer succeeded in getting the nobles to sign a peace treaty by
the end of the day. There was still no word of my sister. The villagers were found though, stuffed
deep inside a well.

That night, I couldn't sleep. My sister was on my mind.

Laurie . . . My sweet Laurie . . . She was so far away from me. I buried myself deep within my
covers. I was so used to holding her in my arms at night that I became very cold. I couldn't stop
crying. Never in my life had I felt so lonely. There was nothing to live for.

I don't remember when or how I fell asleep, but I dreamed about my sister.

She was crying and alone. I wanted comfort her in my arms. Then the four Sundruffs appeared.
Laurie started to scream for me to help her. I tried to move but nothing was happening. She
reached out to me and I to her, but we couldn't touch fingers. She disappeared. Her screams faded
away slowly.

Feeling helpless, I fell to my knees and started to cry. Laurie . . .

"Poor Flare . . . Does she really mean that much to you?"

I looked up and saw nothing. The female Sundruff flew into view. She hovered in front of me at
first and then landed. I wanted to lurch myself forward and kill her, but I did not.

"Of course she does."

"Well, I guess I can help you find her if that is so."

"Why are you doing this?"

"I'm not as evil as you think I am."

"Travel east toward the rising sun for five hours, then head north until you come across a
painted canyon. Follow the marked trail until you find a cave. In there, you shall find what you
want."

"You are trying to trick me . . ."

She walked over to me. I couldn't help but admire the way her body moved.

"No I'm not. Come alone. Muryo and his army are to remain at headquarters."

She turned to leave.

"Wait. How is Ivy? Please tell me."

She stopped and looked over her shoulder at me. "You'll feel better not knowing."

"Please tell me!" I begged.

"All right. But remember, you asked for it."

She waved her hand across the darkness.

I could see my sister. She was bound by her wrists by shackles and a long chain. She tried to
cover the most vital areas of her nude body. I almost cried when I saw the visible cuts and
abrasions all over her from beatings. I could hear the other Sundruffs in the room promising that
they would be back to finish the job. My sister started to weep freely and whisper my name.

The female Sundruff snapped her fingers and the picture disappeared.

My heart filled with anger and pain.

"I suggest you get an early start tomorrow morning. She'll be looking a lot worse than that by
the afternoon."

The Sundruff spread out her wings and flew off.

I couldn't believe the condition my sister was in. She needed me.

Before dawn the next morning, I took my weapon and flew east over the city. The sun was
getting higher and the air was getting warmer. I knew this long trip was designed to tire me out so
that I would not have the strength to protect myself or save Laurie.

I was over water when the five hours were up. The shore was not far away going north. When I
reached land, I realized that I knew the terrain. Laurie and I had been sent on a mission to
intercept an army that had plans to invade an allied city after suffering a major earthquake. The
painted canyon was one of the places we passed on the way. I knew exactly where to go. I landed
for the first time all morning. The canyon was wide and empty. I looked around for the trail the
Sundruff told me about.

Something white, hanging from a tree branch caught my attention. I flew over to inspect. It was a
sock . . . my sister's sock. A few yards away, there was a broken breast plate that belonged to
Laurie. As I followed the "marked trail," I found many more valuables that were my sisters:
armor, hair tie, torn shirt, bra, ripped panties . . .

It was then that I spotted the narrow opening to a cave. I unsheathed my sword and entered
cautiously. I knew they were waiting for me. I reached out with my mind to see if I could sense
Laurie's presence. Nothing. The halls of rock were silent and empty. Torches on the walls made it
possible to see.

Further down the way, the walls were covered with ancient text and pictures of Sundruffs
conquering humans. I knew I was in the right place.

"Over here!"

I turned around and followed a second hall that I had not noticed earlier. There was a room at the
end of it. I stopped a few feet away.

"Don't be shy. Come in."

I peeked around the corner.

The room was as large as my own. The king sized bed in the back took up a lot of space.
Comfortably seated, the female Sundruff smiled at me. I checked the hall again for her friends
before I entered.

"What have you done with Ivy?" I asked in a deadly voice.

She motioned me over with her index finger. "Come over here and sit next to me."

My mind was getting fuzzy. I didn't want to obey her but she was so beautiful . . . My feet moved
toward her reluctantly. I sat next to her on the bed and she looked at me pleased. I could see her
nipples poking through the fabric of her turtleneck. She looked so sexy.

"Where is Ivy?" I asked again, in a much friendlier tone.

The Sundruff turned to me and pushed me back gently on the bed with her hand. At the same
time, her right leg uncrossed and landed in between mine. She laid partially on my body.

"Who cares?" Her lips brushed my cheek. "What is she to you?"

I could feel my heart beating hard inside my chest. She was so irresistible.

"My friend." I let go of my weapon and touched her hair. It was soft. "And my sister."

She froze and rose up slightly to look at me. "Sister?"

"Yes," I whispered, "and lover."

I felt her body tense against mine.

"I want my sister back. I want Laurie." What was I saying? I was blowing our cover!

She lifted up and sat on top of me.

"Laurie? Whose Laurie?" She shrieked.

I couldn't keep my mouth shut. "My sister of course."

"So her name is not Ivy at all?" She folded her arms in thought. Leaning in close, she looked me
in the eye. "Then what is your name Flare?"

Her bust looked like it would plop out of her blouse any second. I hoped it would.

"Kirk Madison." I replied.

"Well Kirk," She moved closer to my face and kissed me. I let her. "There is no Laurie now.
There is only Rose."

"Rose?" I repeated.

"Yes." She started to unbutton her blouse. "Rose."

I laid there while she stripped on top of me. Her breasts were more beautiful than I imagined.
Rose took my hands and pressed them against her lovely set of twins. I rubbed and stroked them.
She was so tempting.

I couldn't control myself. I wanted her badly. Rose had an entrancing figure that I could not wait
to taste. My scrotum was growing tight. I had to be the captain of this army. Trading places with
her, I began my voyage of probing all over her body. Her breasts were like candy to me. I suckled
them.

"Mmmm . . ." She moaned.

I made my way slowly to her vagina. It was perfect and looked untouched. I parted the lips with
my tongue and circled the entrance a little. Rose moaned again. I went up and started flick her
erect clit.

"Ahh . . ah . . . uhmm . . ." Rose arched her back.

My tongue slipped into her cunt. I wiggled it around faster and faster. Rose grabbed a hold of my
head and ran her hands through my hair. I moved my tongue in and out of her quickly.

"Ahh . . ah . . . AHHHHHHH!" Her cum coated my tongue.

Rose was a sweet as she looked. I savored the taste and started to undress. She rose up to help
me. Within seconds, I was on top of her again. The Sundruff's lips were so soft that it excited me.
My hard penis found it's way inside of her. Our arms wrapped around each other, we moved as
one.

My sister was no longer on my mind. I had to fulfil my urge. I had craved this female for the past
month and now was the time to satisfy my hunger.

"Mmmmm . . come on . . .ahh . . . oh . . .ah . . ." Rose begged.

My penis throbbed inside of her hot body. I sucked her neck and drove deeper and deeper into
her. I was close and so was she. My pace quickened with each thrust. With a monstrous groan, I
released gigantic load of cum in her supple figure. Her walls closed in on me and she came again.

"AHHHhhh . . . mmmmm . . . ohhhh . . ."

I rolled over and placed her on top of me. I held onto her hips, ready to help her move, but she
did not. Instead of continuing our love making, she stayed still, looking at me with unreadable
eyes. I looked at her confused. She leaned down and kissed me passionately.

When we stopped, Rose smiled and started to get up.

I sat up and grabbed her arm gently. "Wait."

She stopped and resumed her position. My eyes closed as she started to run her fingers over them.

"Sleep now." She whispered.

The last thing I felt was her lips on mine and falling back into darkness.

When I woke up, I was fully clothed, laying on my side. Rose was in the same state, watching me
with smiling eyes.

"Hello Darling." She said.

My brow furrowed. I couldn't remember what happened. I tried to quickly recall the previous
events. I remembered walking in and Rose was sitting on the bed. We made love . . . I had
betrayed my sister . . . My sister? I told Rose everything about us! Where was my sister!

I sat up abruptly and scrambled to get off the bed, falling in the process. Rose sat up smiling at me
while I tried to put distance in between us.

I pointed at her accusingly. I wanted to speak but the words would not come.

Rose stretched and yawned seductively. "Mmmmm."

"Where's my sister? I want to know now." My neck ached.

I rubbed it and searched for my weapon. I brushed something on my neck. It was a paper of some
sort. I tried to pull it off but it was stuck.

"What the hell is this!" I looked at Rose.

"Just a handicap." She smiled and approached me. Our face's were inches apart. "Your abnormal
strength, magical powers, and mind abilities are all dropped down . . ."

Rose shut her eyes and kissed me passionately. I closed mine and kissed her back. The sweetness
of her lips never lost its flavor. She pulled away slowly and we opened our eyes simultaneously.

" . . . to zero." She finished.

I couldn't believe it. I backed away but my body called for her. Testing my powers, I tried to set
her on fire. Nothing happened. She giggled in a cute way that drove me wild. Rose motioned me
to come to her and get on the bed. Like a faithful servant, I obeyed her and laid on my back. She
climbed on top of me and rested her hands on my chest.

"W . . . where is my sister?" I stammered.

"Don't worry about her." Rose said calmly.

I couldn't fight her. "What happened to your wings?"

"Female Sundruffs always shed their wings when they are about to mate."

"Mate?" I asked. "You mean?"

Rose nodded. "Yes."

She leaned forward.

"The human race is evolving and getting stronger while my race is quickly dying out. Our efforts
to recover are failing. Mating several times with an evolved human such as yourself will make our
species stronger and more powerful." Her lips brushed my ear. "Our baby will be the first one of
its kind."

She was pregnant? So soon?

I tried to cast the birth control spell. Rose smiled at me.

"I'm too far along for you to do anything about it." She kissed me.

I wanted to fight her but I couldn't move.

"I will admit that you aren't a bad lover for a human. I also understand that the male species of
humans thrives on the pleasures of mating with a female." She ran her hands over my chest. I
shuddered. "Does that excite you?"

Rose licked the side of my neck slowly, up and down. I swallowed hard and she chuckled. My
penis was becoming erect. She must have felt it because she started to wiggle her hips, enticing
me. I couldn't struggle with her. I wanted her. My body wanted her.

She sat up and to rub her breasts. I could only watch her. She pinched her nipples through her
clothes and moaned.

I felt as if though I would explode any second.

"Would you like to mate again human?" She reached down and started to stroke her crotch.

"Yes!" Was the first word out of my mouth. "I mean, no! Yes! No! I can't!"

She lifted her blouse to expose one bare breast and squeezed it. "Are you sure?"

My mouth hung open as I stared. I swallowed again. Rose reached under her skirt. I could tell she
had no panties on. She started to masturbate on top of me. Her moans were tantalizing. She
stopped and started to feel on herself.

"Are you positive?" Rose asked.

I licked my lips and reached up with both hands to touch her flat stomach. She was so soft. Well,
one more time wouldn't hurt. She was pregnant anyway.

"Tell me that you want me."

"I want you." I whispered.

"How badly?"

Why was she teasing me? "I want you, Rose. I want your body. I want to be inside of you."

The Sundruff smiled and kissed me. I fondled her pale creamy breasts. She lifted my shirt and
kissed the trail of hair from my belly button. It disappeared into my pants but that didn't stop her.
Rose unfastened them and pull them all the way off.

She kissed my rock hard penis lightly. I shuddered and closed my eyes. The Sundruff looked at
me and smiled.

"Do you like that?" I heard her say.

Before I could answer, she did it again. She giggled when my manhood rose a few inches.
Holding her hair back, she licked the tip and brushed the head with her tongue. Rose took her
finger and gently ran it along the side. I moaned.

The Sundruff woman sat on top of me and guided my penis inside of her. I rested my hands on her
hips.

"Make me proud little human."

I couldn't stand it any longer. I wanted her. Something inside of me snapped.

"Shut up and fuck me!" I said.

Rose's face lit up. "That's better."

"Now!"

I pulled and began to grate her hips on mine. She started to rock and bounce and rock and
bounce. It wasn't good enough for me.

"Faster!" I ordered.

Rose leaned forward and quickened her movements. She shut her eyes and moaned with each
motion. Her hands gripped the sheets.

"MMMMmmmm...ahh...ahh...ahh...ahh..ahh...mmmmmm!!" Her voice trembled as she came.

"Faster! Harder bitch! NOW!"

Brother!

Rose obeyed me.

The bed creaked and wobbled. She held onto my shoulders and moved faster and faster. I pressed
her body harder and harder into mine. The female Sundruff seemed to enjoy my rough handling
and forceful nature. I squeezed her butt cheeks and turned them into cherries. She was starting to
perspire.

My cock throbbed inside of her. "Harder!"

Rose's brow furrowed. She dug her nails into my skin.

Kirk! Hear me!

What was that? I shrugged it off and paid attention to the sexy Sundruff's working pussy.

Brother! Wake up! Come out of your trance! They're tricking you! Kirk! Come back to me!

L . . .Laurie? My mind started to return to me. My sister. I needed my sister. I had to get to
Laurie.

I shut my eyes briefly to shoot a load of cum into her flexible body. Rose collapsed on me,
breathing hard.

"That was wonderful!" She cried, stroking my chest. "I guess humans are good lovers after all."

I wrapped my arms around her body and held her. My eyes glowed but Rose did not see them. A
great power filled me. I started to tense up.

KIRK!

I knew Rose was starting to feel something was wrong. She tried to sit up but I wouldn't let her.
Her strength was no match for mine.

"Let go of me!" She struggled against my grip.

My arms around her tightened. She started to scream. Something in her back cracked and her
cries were even louder. When I let her go, she was crying and trying to raise off of me. I held onto
her sides and cast a spell.

"Blazing Sickle!"

Rose ignited on fire and turned to ashes in a matter of seconds. The Sundruff and her unborn child
were dead.

Laurie!

Kirk!

I got off of the bed and searched for my clothes.

Where are you?

I don't know. Find me quick! They're going to kill Collen!

I started to dress.

I'll be right there!

Ripping off the patch on my neck, I raced out of the room. Each hall was dark except for the
torches on various areas around the walls. I let my instincts take over and ran to the left. I was in
maze. There was no sign of life anywhere.

I heard the echos of voices nearby.

"Oh shit."

I darted down another hall and followed the sound of footsteps. Ahead, I saw the other three male
Sundruffs running away. They turned down a hall and disappeared from sight.

I passed by an open door, backed up, and looked into the room. Laurie was kneeling next to
Collen.

"Laurie!"

She looked up and we ran into each other's arms. She looked like she had been through a lot. Her
body was scratched and bruised. I held her tight.

"I'll never let you go again!" I squeezed my eyes shut.

We kissed for the first time in a long time.

"We have to hurry!" She said when we parted. "They're going to attack Muryo and Rose is
pregnant!"

"I know. She told me everything. She's dead." I said. "We have to get the others before it's too
late."

What about Collen?

Think we can teleport him to Muryo?

Maybe. He can give him a heads up. Smart as always.

I know.

Laurie turned to our younger brother, ignoring her nakedness.

"We're going to transport you outside of Yunzi head quarters. We need you to tell Muryo that
the Sundruffs are planning to attack under the leadership of Ramire and to send troops to the
Hjistam Canyon."

I looked at the dead bodies of our parents on the floor. I felt no pain or sorrow. Every bit of love
I had for Mother and Father had vanished long ago. Collen was the only person I would consider
family other than Laurie of course. He had never done anything to either of us.

My sister and I kneeled next to Collen. We concentrated hard on transporting him outside the
headquarters. I wanted to speak with him but it would have to wait til after this was all over.

Collen slowly disappeared.

"I hope he's all right." Laurie said.

We stood.

"He's okay." I took her hand and started to lead her away. "Let's go."

She pulled back. "Wait."

Her hand brushed the side of my face lightly. She begged me with her to kiss her. I pressed my
lips against hers in a heated kiss. Laurie's touch aroused my temptation to take her. I felt her
flowing through my blood again and pumping in my veins. She was all over me. I was glad to
have her back.

I held her warm body in my arms.

They floor beneath us started to glow. A feeling of renewal and enlightenment filled my soul.
There was something that we were destined to do. Everything was becoming so clear now.

Do you feel it Sister?

Yes . . . It is time . . . .

The air around us intensified and swirled.

Our existence does not matter now. Others will be born, some as we speak.

To insure that they will live, we will give up our own.

We were incased in a white light.

We are the first Neo-humans to reach our full potential, and for that we have to protect those
younger than us.

Laurie buried her face in my chest. I shut my eyes as we were encased in a bright light. When I
opened them, I was nude. Laurie was a few feet away from me, her cuts and bruises were healed.
I looked at the empty white space around us. We were alone in a place of nothingness.

Where are we?

We are in an alternate dimension where time and space do not exist.

Yes.

Our world was taking on a new form. For us to survive during this change, humans had to be
upgraded. Neo-humans like Laurie and I were to be the dominate species. It was all the planned
out by Mother Nature. Mega-corporations and organizations like Yunzi would serve no purpose.
Nature would be our life.

I looked at my sister and she looked at me. The cuts and bruises on her body had disappeared.
She was healthy again.

We closed the distance between ourselves, our eyes never leaving the other.

"Make me a mother, Brother . . ."

I nodded, understanding her need for a baby. I leaned forward and kissed her. The once hard floor
had turned soft and fluffy. I laid her down and positioned myself between her legs. Within
seconds, I was inside of her. I squeezed her hands and slowly pressed my hips against her. I felt as
if though I were in a trance. We had never made love like this before. It was different. I was on a
mission. My sister had to get pregnant and I had to do it. Our entire existence depended on it.

Our love making was not wild like I preferred it to be. Nor was it at a medium pace. It was slow
and sensual, like a moment to savor. We didn't scream or shout for more. Our moans and sighs
stayed at a whisper. I could feel myself become ready. The time drew nearer and nearer. Finally, I
released the seeds of love inside of my sister. In my heart, I knew she was already with child.

I got to my feet and helped her stand on shaky legs. She was going to give birth in 30 days or so.
It was now my duty to see that it happened.

It is finished.

Let us return now.

We held each other as another bright light incased us. We were on a cliff in the canyon, fully
clothed and ready for battle. Our black and silver armor glinted in the sun. Our weapons were
ready at our sides.

Far out in the distance, hovering in the air, at least forty Sundruffs were in a circle around the
three males known as Wolf, Quik, and Palatou. A few wingless females were standing below
them. Apparently, this place was their hideout. Luckily, for us, they did not know we were there.

This is it, love. Are you ready?

Ready when you are.

Stay close to me. Don't take on anyone that you cannot handle. You and our child must live.

Our species must survive.

I made myself invisible and flew above the herd.

"Be cautious guys. They disappeared and they could be anywhere now." Wolf said.

"Watch out for the girl." Quik said. "She'll kill you in a flash."

Laurie appeared on the ground directly below them in the center of the circle. She whipped out
her kiyo and spun around in a complete circle. Every pregnant female went down. Their heads
rolled away from their bodies.

The others above looked down in horror.

"Razor Flash!"

I appeared from above and sent a beam of white light down upon them. They looked up just in
time to see it. Palatou, Wolf, and Quik zipped out of the way with a few others. The rest weren't
so lucky and turned to ashes. The beam expanded and went away.

"It's them! They're here!" I heard the Sundruffs cry.

They broke off into two groups; one for my sister and one for me.

"Blazin' Worm!" I shouted.

A giant sandworm rose out of the ground below three Sundruffs in a spiral motion. They did not
see it til it was too late. The worm's massive mouth closed around the poor fools. My spell
ignited it and it sunk back into the ground. The hole caved in and sealed forever.

A fireball came whirling toward me. I dodged it at the last moment. A Sundruff male came at me.
Five others were behind him.

"Die human!"

I raised my hands to the sky. "Meteor Rain!"

Multiple basketball sized meteors flew from the sky. The Sundruffs shifted and tried to dodge
them. One by one, they started to fall out of the sky. Only one made it to me with his sword
drawn. I pulled out my blade and block him. I pushed him back with ease. He came at me again.

"Cactus arrow!"

Ten-thousand cactus needles appeared and shot in his direction. The Sundruff's body was ripped
to pieces with each hit.

Kirk! Help me!

I flew around the attacks of the other Sundruffs. I could feel my sister needed my help. She was
close. Down below, I saw Quik laying on top of my sister. On my way down to confront him, he
exploded into several pieces. Laurie laid on the ground, breathing hard.

Behind her, I saw Sundruffs preparing to strike. I teleported to her location, took her in my arms,
and disappeared. Lightening and fireballs hit the ground.

I reappeared on the edge of the canyon away from the battle.

"Are you all right?" I asked.

"Yes." She said, still breathing hard. "He was trying to kill the baby."

I became angry and wished that I had the opportunity to kill him again.

"But I didn't let him." She smiled.

I smiled. "Can you still fight?"

Laurie nodded. "I just need to catch my breath."

"Okay," I said. "I'll be back to check on you."

I kissed her forehead and disappeared. The Sundruffs were looking around for us. I appeared
behind a cluster of them.

"Flash Mind multiply!"

Four Sundruffs were covered in a field of electricity. Their bodies shook as they screamed in pain.
They sputtered up blood and drool.

The other Sundruffs surrounded me. Blasts of energy came at me from all directions. I zipped
around and dodged as many as I could. One finally struck my back and paralyzed me. I couldn't
move. I was a sitting duck.

Palatou collided with me from behind. I underestimated his strength. The blow knocked the wind
out of me. I managed to stay hovering. More balls of energy struck me. I started to descend to the
ground.

Palatou laughed. "For such new breed, you sure do bruise easily."

I struggled to regain control over my body before they struck again. With a mighty grunt, Palatou
landed several heavy blows on my back. I hit the ground and my weapon fell from my hands. The
Sundruffs landed in a circle around me.

Palatou stepped forward. "You humans are weaker than ever! You were born a weakling and you
will die weakling. Our race maybe finished, but we will take as many human lives as possible with
us...starting with you and your whore of a sister."

I was helpless. My head and body felt like it was hauling 100 pounds of weight. I managed to get
to my knees. They came closer and started to kick me in my sides and face. Many cursed at me in
their native tongue and stomped me. My newly developed body was reaching it's limit. I didn't
know how much more of this I could handle.

"By the way," I heard Palatou say. "Where is that little bitch anyway?"

For a moment, darkness shrouded my vision. The pain being inflicted on me had ceased. When I
opened my eyes again. The remaining male Sundruffs were dead on the ground. A few were on
fire. I heard noises coming from above me. I looked up and saw Palatou strangling my sister. Her
physical strength had been weakened since her last attack on Quik. Laurie gagged and choked.
Her arms were hooked around his trying desperately to free herself.

I shook my head clear and grabbed my weapon. I flew behind him with my sword raised.

"AAAHHHHH!!"

I rammed the sword into his back.

"Static Shock!"

Palatou released my sister who moved away quickly holding her throat. Twenty-five thousand
volts of electricity drained into the Sundruff. His body jerked and shook. Saliva splattered
everywhere. Palatou screamed as his eyeballs exploded and blood flowed from his ears. Parts of
limbs became charred and the flesh split into an open wound.

I pulled my sword out and let his body fall to the ground.

Exhausted, I lowered myself to sit down. My sister came over and sat next to me. We embraced
each other gently. It was finally over.

I cradled her in my arms. "Are you both all right?"

Laurie touched her stomach. "Yes. We are fine. Just need some rest and a healing spell."

We held each other tighter and closed our eyes. A white aura started to twinkle around us. It was
our combined healing powers, regenerating our strength and healing our cuts and bruises.

Without warning, something sharp stabbed me in my back.

" AARRGGG!"

My grip around Laurie loosened and I felt her being pulled away from my arms. She screamed and
then was silent. I opened my eyes just as the sharp thing stabbed me again. I could feel blood
gushing out of my wounds. When I was stabbed a third time, I knew that an organ had been
severely punctured. I opened my eyes and coughed up blood. I heard Laurie scream for me
somewhere nearby. I leaned forward and fell on the ground.

Looking up, I saw who was there. Wolf had Laurie in his arms. She was kicking and screaming.
He struggled with her and pounded her with his fists to shut her up. Someone chuckled from
behind me. I turned my head slightly and saw Ramire holding a magic knife in his right hand
covered in my blood.

I place a comforting hand on one of my gushing injuries and got into a sitting position.

Ramire smiled at me.

"You..." Was all I could say.

"Yes. The true heir to Yunzi Corporations." He glared.

"I see...do you really think that the Sundruffs...would let you...a human...have a piece of
their victory. That..." I spit a mouthful of blood and tried to cast the highest healing spell my
body would allow me. Without Laurie, these injuries would be difficult to deal with alone.
"...after they reclaimed the world, they would let you rule it...A human that has
power?...Open your eyes, they've been plotting against you...I know it...I feel it..."

"Whatever." He turned to Wolf. "You are the last one. I expect you to breed with her as soon as
possible."

Wolf held Laurie tighter. "She pregnant already..."

"Find some way to kill it then! Just rape her!"

Wolf nodded.

My sister was too weak to fight him when he carried her away. They landed on an adjacent cliff
behind a large rock. I heard her screaming and the sound of tearing clothes. I had to help her.
When I started to rise, my wounds reminded me coldly that they were still there and started to
bleed even more. I must have threw up a pint of blood before I was able to speak.

"You can't...win...you...bastard..." I squeezed my eyes shut. Laurie... "Even if...we do
die...humans will prevail..."

Oh Brother! I can't get away!

My tears mixed with the blood.

Sister...I'm so sorry...forgive me...forgive me...

Oh no! Brother!

"I doubt that Muryo will have an army strong enough to fight the army I am going to create."
Ramire shook his head.

I couldn't support myself anymore and collapsed on the ground. Everything was getting dark and
fuzzy looking. I couldn't focus on the rock where my sister was being raped. I had failed
her...but...there may still be away for me to help her through this. Even if she doesn't live, no one
will be around to stop the Neo-humans from inhabiting the planet. I could hear her screaming but
it wasn't because of what was being done to her, she was crying for me.

Brother!

...dear sister...forgive me...I cannot go on...don't let them win...remember...that I love
you...and I am always with you...

I shut my eyes.

NO! KIRK! DON'T LEAVE ME! KIRK! OH GOD, DON'T DIE!

She was crying now... I remembered how I used to comfort her when she was little and got
hurt...we used to laugh and play together all the time...I remember our mini-forts and the
snowballs we threw at each other in the winter. That time in the tree house...when we lost our
virginity...that was one of my most cherished memories... Wherever I go, I'll never forget them.
Never...
