'HELP ME!'

Several slaves scuttled away from the door

'OH GODS!'

Renamon came striding down the corridor, her long robe billowing out behind her.

'How long has he been screaming?' she asked

'I no know.' Whimpered a worried looking squirrel, wringing her little paws 'Will he be okyday?'

'I have no idea.' Renamon replied, before opening the door and stepping inside. The room was filled with pillows and silken blankets, and hunched in one corner was Caleb. His skin was pale. Not the pale of a vampire but the waxy pale of a man with fever. His body was drenched with sweat and his eyes were sunken and dark.

'S-stay back!' he shouted as Renamon entered and closed the door 'Don't come closer!'

Renamon sank to her knees and inched forwards slowly.

'I won't hurt you Caleb.' She said softly 'You know who I am...you know I won't hurt you.'

'I SAID STAY BACK!' he screamed, maddened with terror. His long, dark purple hair was plastered to his face and back by sweat, and his eyes glowed a dull hue.

Something came back to Renamon then. Something that had been buried in the fog of bliss that pervaded her mind. It was a song. Not knowing precisely why she started to sing it, her soft mellow voice resonating around the room. Caleb looked up from the ball he had scrunched up into and listened. It was a gentle song that made it easier to get close to Caleb. She reached out to him and he flinched away at first but Renamon didn't stop singing. Caleb moved a bit closer and was soon huddled in Renamon's warm embrace, his head, resting on her breasts.

'I'm scared.' He whispered, tears falling down his face 'I'm so scared.'

'Shhhh...I know, I know. But I'm here now and I won't leave you alone again.' Soothed Renamon

As Renamon cradled the frightened human she started singing again. Caleb slowly drifted off into a nightmare filled sleep, Renamon by his side.

Matilda sat in her tower room, cross legged and eyes closed. Opposite her sat Jessie, the kangaroo. She had the strongest magical talent out of the twelve 'chosen', which was why Matilda had picked her. She had long slender legs with long feet and powerful muscles. She could kick harder and jump higher than any of the chosen. She had shortish light brown fur all over her body and large well rounded breasts. Her head fur was long and thick, the same colour has her body fur. She opened her eyes, they were completely black with tiny stars floating in them and smiled at Matilda.

'Are you ready mistress?' she asked, her voice coming from far away as her body opened up to the vast magical energies required for the task at hand.

'I've been waiting for this moment far longer than you can know.' Matilda replied stroking her pet's thick soft head fur.

'That's a yes then.' The roo said and opened her hands

'Calm DOWN!' Renamon shouted at Caleb.

'I DON'T WANT TO CALM DOWN!!!' he screamed back 'YOU ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN OR WHAT TO DO!!!' his skin was not waxy any more but still pale. His eyes, however, glowed with a fierce purple light and his hair flew around like it was in a high wind.

'He really is magnificent.' Renamon thought and ducked as a pillow exploded in a cloud of feathers against the wall. Caleb was hurling the pillows and cushions at her. His strength had increased so much he was throwing them with dangerous force. Renamon jumped out of the way of another

'You're being childish!' she snapped

'THAT WAS THE WRONG THING TO SAY YOU FUCKING BITCH!!!' He screamed back and grabbed her by the neck. He twisted sharply and her neck snapped. he dropped her limp body and proceded to beat the hell out of the wall. Renamon sat up clutching her head in both hands, twisted and twisted her head back into place.

'You are so lucky I can't be killed by a broken neck!' she snarled, her eyes glowing red. He was really beginning to try her patience.

'The sooner he wants to feed and fuck with me the better.' She thought.

The sex was the part she was looking forwards to the most. Caleb kept himself in shape and his member was nothing to be laughed at. The feeding was quite appealing as well. Renamon loved the feeling of being fed upon. The wondrous feeling of bliss and pleasure was all too alluring. But first she had to deal with a very angry not-quite-human-anymore human. It was turning out that he was a great deal stronger than her. he was also ,quite literally, deadly accurate with pillows.

'I'M SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!' he bellowed, running at her.

'I think I can guess.' Renamon retorted

Caleb's fist blurred and caught Renamon sharply in the stomach. She didn't have time to double over when his leg connected with her face and then she was flying across the room.

'He's too fast and too strong!' she thought wiping blood from her mouth.

Mistress hadn't been joking when she had said he was to be stronger, faster and tougher than any vampire. Renamon had had her doubts but she realized that mistress would keep him under control.

She jumped to the side as he hit the wall with a punch that shook the room. He span round, his eyes glowing purple around the outside, but his pupils were flaring like smouldering coals.

he let out a great shriek of rage and ran, once more, at Renamon.

'This is getting bad.' Renamon thought 'how the hell can I stop him?' then it dawned on her

he needed to feed at some point, Matilda had stated as much, which ment he would start getting tired soon. Renamon on the other hand, had used the oppertunity when he slept, to feed off as many slaves as possible. All she had to do was keep out of his way until he dropped from hunger and exaustion.

Jozan, Goliath and Caroline the puma where in the palaces vast armoury.

'Hey Goliath? Have you ever heard of 'technomancy'?' Caroline asked

The big orca scratched his head in thought.

'I'm...I'm not sure. It sounds like something I did before I was found by mistress.'

'It's mixing magic with technology.' Jozan said, coming in carrying a large box.

'Mistress told me.' He said seeing their odd looks.

'What are we supposed to be doing with it all?' Caroline said

'Mistress said she'll tell us later, we just have to put stack these boxes and then we can go and have fun.' The horse replied

'Oooooh! There's this lovely squid in the water hall. She has the sexiest tentacles in the world, ever!' Caroline squealed

Jozan and Goliath looked at each other and giggled. Caroline glared at them.

Renamon gasped as Caleb drank deeply from her neck. he had stopped fighting a short while ago. he had literally collapsed to the floor after swinging his final punch. She was sitting cross-legged on the pillows, one hand behind her to support her weight, the other holding Caleb tightly round the back. Soon Caleb stopped moving and sucked long and slow, relaxing on top of the panting Digimon, forcing her to lie down. He drank until he began to become drowsy and was soon fast asleep, blood trickling from his mouth. Renamon lay still for a few moments before sitting up and spreading her legs. The feeding had left her feeling very horny. She pulled off her long purple gloves and slowly slid her fingers up and down her slick, swollen lips. Lying back she pushed a pillow under her hips and let her fingers tease her clit. The cushion was something Matilda had taught her. It tightened the pussy making it more pleasurable when you finger fucked yourself. She squeezed and massaged her breasts licking the nipple of one, then the other. She slowly pushed her fingers inside her tight pussy and gasped as a wave of intense pleasure left lights dancing in front of her eyes. A thin trickle of saliva ran out the corner of her mouth and her eyes screwed shut as the orgasm grew nearer. She let out a long pleasurable moan and came all over her fingers, her fem juice gushing onto the pillows. Renamon relaxed as her pussy twitched slightly and basked in a warm afterglow. She licked her fingers, savouring the taste of her own cum before snuggling next to Caleb and falling into sleep.

Shakar was sitting in a large room filled with various different training machines. From simple punch bags to large archaic automatons, powered by technology and sorcery. He was coiled around a large wooden post exercising his powerful tail muscles. He heard someone come through from the swimming hall next door. The taste that came with the person told him it was Claudia, the dolphin. He turned his torso and watched her dripping wet body with interest.

'Like what you see?' She said to him, smiling coyly.

'You know I do.' He replied uncoiling himself from the post and slithering up to her.

Claudia closed her eyes as the reptile's hands caressed her body. She leaned into him as his soft coils came up to embrace her. Soon she was up to her waist in his powerful coils; she could feel his smooth body pressing against her and gasped as his hot tongue flicked over her breasts.

'We should be training...' she gasped, her cheeks turning pink

'Ah...we are though.' Shakar replied.

Claudia giggled and they both sank onto the floor, their bodies (quite literally) entwined in passion.

Caleb gently sucked on Renamon's lightly furred breasts and the Digimon gasped with pleasure.

'Oh...don't make me wait!' she moaned

Caleb sucked harder and gently rubbed Renamon's velvet pussy. Renamon had been waiting for this part for almost two days. The anticipation had mounted so much that it felt as if she would explode. Caleb's lips moved down from her breasts to her pussy and he began to eat her out. Renamon ran her hands over her breasts while Caleb's moved through her thick soft fur. The Digimon groaned at the gentle caresses and squeezed her breasts with a look of lust on her face. Caleb suckled on her clit and lapped up her juices.

'Oh...If only...mistress...could be...here...' she panted

As she grew closer to orgasm Caleb stopped, Renamon gave him a disappointed look.

'Why have you...' she started but was cut off suddenly as Caleb's mouth locked with hers.

They closed their eyes and let their tongues dance around each others mouths. Renamon slipped her arms around Caleb's shoulders and felt his erection rub up between her legs. They broke the kiss and Renamon looked at Caleb with dreamy eyes. They widened as Caleb slowly sank his cock into her warm, moist cunny.

'OoOoooOooo...you feel so GOOD.' She moaned

'Tinicus! Dorian! Get your scaly and stripy butts over here and help me and Rose fit these orbs!'

Tinicus and Dorian hurried down the corridor towards where the mare had shouted.

'What orbs?' Tinicus said when they arrived in a circular room with a large pile of earth in the middle. A mare came round from behind the pile followed by Rose the coyote.

'These orbs.' She said thrusting a one at the dragon

'Calm down Eden.' Dorian said with a grin.

The mare rounded on the tiger

'You can help to.' She said shoving another orb into his hands.

'What's the matter with you today?' Tinicus asked.

'Under that pile of earth are salamander eggs. These orbs will keep them warm until they hatch, which, according to mistress will be in about six hours. Now with salamanders the last six to seven hours of incubation are important because...' The horse was cut off when Rose spun her round and kissed her.

'You don't need to bore them.' she said lightly 'Once we've finished we can have a foursome.'

'Ooooo yay!' Eden, Tinicus and Dorian chorused.

Matilda stood at the top of her tower, streamers of energy swirled around her as Jessie sat below her cross legged and chanting. Matilda's eyes glowed with an unearthly light and bright streams of fire lanced out of her fingers and spiralled into the abstract sky of her interdimensional realm. Great thunder bolts split the sky and lightning struck the ground seemingly at random. Jessie stood, her eyes aflame and joined her mistress. More lightning hit the ground, the air boiled with magical energies and then...silence. Jessie fell to one side and was caught by Matilda. The vampire cat looked around at the pockmarked ground until...a skeletal hand thrust through the ground and a skeleton slowly pulled itself out, green fire burning in its eyes.

'Oh how cliché.' Matilda muttered and looked at the unconscious kangaroo in her arms. Jessie liked drama and really corny things like skeletons thrusting themselves slowly out the ground.

'Just hurry up will you.' She snapped. The skeletons started to move as if someone had pressed fast forward until the entire plane below the tower was filled with the bleached bones of the skeletal warriors.

'Go to the armoury and get some decent armour and weapons.' Matilda said.

A great screech rose from the assembled hoard which ended abruptly when Matilda glared at them.

'And none of that. I'm not a traditionalist so you won't do the screeching.'

'But we like the screeching.' came a rather annoyed voice from below.

'Oh shut up and get to the armoury before I disintegrate the lot of you.'

With a large amount of clicking and mumbling the skeletons moved towards the armoury. Matilda rubbed her ears. Being un-dead was fine but trying to raise a decent army was hard work.

Renamon lay next to Caleb and gently licked his face. Neither said anything, they just lay in each others company.

*Come to me my chosen...Come I have gifts for you....* Came a voice in their heads

'Perfect timing as usual.' Renamon groaned

'We shouldn't keep her waiting.' Caleb said, getting to his feet and stretching.

Renamon looked at him. he had been with them for only a few short days and he already fitted in like he had been here for months. Renamon had wondered what the mistress wanted him for, but Matilda had not said anything of her plan to any of the twelve 'chosen' other than Jessie. they left the room, some slaves were still nervous of caleb and backed away as he passed. he noticed that they all seemed smaller somehow, even though he recognised some species that were suposed to be bigger than most. they were joined shortly by Jozan, Goliath and Caroline (who still had sucker marks on her face, arms and breasts). The five of them talked as they went down to the hatchery, all speculating on what it could be that Mistress wanted to give them. as they approached, the large double doors swung open to reveal a huge room, inside of which was a large earthen mound with glowing orbs embbeded in it. already waiting were Tinicus, Dorian, Rose and Eden they smiled as their friends approached.

'Do you have any idea whats going on?' Renamon asked Rose

'Yes. we do. but it's a suprise.'

'Oooh I LOVE suprises!' said a voice from behind them.

They all turned to see Claudia and Shakar enter the room, Claudia had a huge smile plastered all over her face.

Finally Matilda entered, followed closely by Jessie. as one, the chosen dropped to one knee and bowed their heads. Even though he had been there the shortest amount of time, the brainwashing was so complete that Caleb did the same without hesitation. Matilda smiled at them as they rose.

'Uncover the mound.' she said, her voice soft as silk

The twelve moved to obey and soon the mound was uncovered, revealing twelve large white objects.

'These, are Salamander eggs.' Matilda said once they were all uncovered 'These are my gift to my chosen, you twelve who have ascended mortality. You will ride these creatures into battle at the head of my army and bring the reign of the vampire throughout the dimensions. Salamanders change depending on what environment they are exposed to. If you yiff constantly around them...' Matilda looked pointedly at Claudia who blushed '...they will grow up to be more yiffy than salamanders already are.' Matilda looked around the room. 'Each of these animals will be your friend and your guardian, they will be your lovers and they will fight alongside you. Treat them with love and attention and they will do the same to you. Do not mistreat them or I will turn you into a mindless pet. Now I...'

A loud splitting noise made her turn. Each of the large eggs had begun to shake and crack.

'Before they hatch you must know some things. One, all salamanders are hermaphrodites. Two, salamanders are telepathic. And three...salamanders choose you, you do not choose them.'

Matilda moved away to one side and her chosen pets took up a semi-circle around the nest

'Oh and they also have hypnotic vision...'

The eggs split and cracked. The first one to hatch was in front of Claudia who squealed in delight as the scaly orange head emerged from the shell. The hatchling flopped out of its egg and rolled down the sloping nest. It was about the size of a new born foal and its body looked like that of a tyrannosaurus with large hind legs and smaller forelegs. Unlike the tyrannosaurus though its forelegs were longer with four nimble looking fingers on its hands. In managed to get to its feet by pushing up from the floor with its forelegs and looked around. It gave a small cheep and started to waddle towards Claudia. The dolphin crouched down and held out her hand. The little lizard sniffed it and cheeped, rubbing is head against it. Claudia gently pulled it close to her and it snuggled down in her arms. Meanwhile its siblings had started to hatch. Soon the room was filled with loud cheeps. The chosen watched as the hatchlings stumbled around until they saw someone they liked. Caleb however did not watch the hatchlings. His purple gaze was fixed on one egg that had not hatched. The cheeping died down as one by one, the hatchlings found an owner and fell asleep. Soon all eyes were on Caleb who had not taken his eyes off the solitary egg. Slowly, he moved forwards and tapped the egg. Nothing. He tapped it again. This time a small tap came back. Caleb grinned and slowly cracked the eggshell until the hatchling was free. It turned its head and looked at him with large dark eyes. Caleb could feel his world turning soft and pink as its vision took hold. He could feel Matilda preventing it from going any further though. He gently picked it up and cuddled it to his chest. It churred happily and rubbed its soft head against his bare chest before falling asleep.

A great screech made Caleb sit up sharply. The chosen had gone to bed shortly after the salamanders had hatched, they had all felt strangly tired. The room was dark but his vampiric eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. He got up and staggered over to the next room, carefully avoiding the others. He opened the curtain and saw his salamander was sitting up amongst its fellows making an almighty racket.

'What is it Glade?' he asked (he had named his salamander Glade because shi seemed more feminine)

Glade continued to make a loud noise and Caleb stuck his fingers in his ears and wondered why the others hadn't woken up. He stopped thinking because he realised that Glade's racket hadn't gotten any quieter. Something mistress had said once they had all claimed their salamanders came back to him.

'Salamanders communicate with their riders telepathically...'

He concentrated and thought

*What's the matter Glade?*

The screeching stopped abruptly and Glade looked at him with big round eyes

*You can speak me!* she replied with awe

*Yes I can.*

*You didn't answer when I asked you name when I sawed you first.* her thought sounded reproachful

*I don't think our minds had time to bond properly.* Caleb answered. *But that's beside the point, why were you screaming like that?*

*To get your attention, we all bin trying to talk our masters but they no reply.*

*Just wait until they're awake, we're all asleep now...well...except for me.*

*But you don't sleep. You don't need to.*

*How do you know?* Caleb asked slightly confused

*Well...Lady Jane used to talk to us in our eggs you see, and she told us EVERYTHING about you and what was expected of us.*

*Who's Lady...?* Caleb started, then stopped. Lady Jane was obviously mistresses Salamander and these hatchlings mother. But to be the size of a foal when hatched must mean that Lady Jane was gigantic.

*Oh yes I expect so.* Glade thought

*Hmm? What?* Caleb thought slightly confused.

*Lady Jane would be gigantic. We grow throughout our lives.*

*You know an awful lot for someone who's only ten hours hatched.*

*Racial memories. That and Lady Jane told us lot's when we were incubating. Talking to you has already improved my speech. And I've been looking at your memories, some are quite interesting, others are a bit boring.*

*You're looking at my memories?* Caleb asked

*Oh yes...once we have bonded there is no hiding anything from each other.*

*Great...Hey, shall we go somewhere slightly more privet?*

*Okay*

Caleb picked the little lizard up and tiptoed past the sleeping Chosen and out into the cooler corridor. He found a smallish room and entered, closing the door behind him. He put Glade down and watched as the cute orange lizard waddled a short way before flopping onto some cushions with a small 'humph'.

*What do you want to talk about?* she asked

*Let's start at the beginning.* Caleb said with a grin

Goliath found them in that room still talking the next day (If day really exsisted on this plane).

*So you're saying that all Salamanders are hermaphrodites but some are 'female' hermaphrodites and others are 'male'*

*Yes. The female's vagina is in front of the penis whereas the males vagina is behind the penis. They also sound like males.*

*And you're a 'female' Salamander?*

*Yes.*

*Right...Cool*

Goliath cleared his throat. Caleb looked round and grinned when he saw the orca.

'What are you doing?' Goliath asked

'Talking with Glade.'

'How're you managing that?'

'Salamanders are telepathic. Go and think to yours and see what happens.'

'Really?'

'Yes.'

Goliath looked thoughtful before turning and going out.

*What did he want?* Glade asked

*Don't know. Just curios as to where we were I suppose.*

*I'm hungry.*

*Me too...shall we go and find some food?*

*Yay!*

Caleb walked into the main hall where breakfast was well underway. A gaggle of the will-less slaves were at the long low table nibbling on various bits of food. Glade rode on his shoulders, her arms wrapped around his head and her tail around his right arm. He was surprised at how strong she was already. He moved past the slaves and into a side room. The other chosen where there feeding off slaves or each other. A huge bowl of meat was in the middle of the room with all the other salamanders around it, eating greedily. Caleb gently lifted Glade off his shoulders and placed her by the bowl. She was instantly up to her eyeballs in meat. Caleb walked over to a free cushion and sat down.

'Want a bite?' he heard

Looking round he saw Claudia grinning at him.

'That's the worst pun I've heard, considering my current condition.'

'Well you're not a vampire, mistress told us that, so maybe you don't AAH!' she ended her sentence in a startled yell because Caleb was on her, his fangs sinking into her neck, so fast she hadn't seen him move.

Caleb took a long pull at her neck and delighted in the hot sweet blood that filled his mouth. Claudia melted in his arms and weakly pawed at his face. He angled his body so that his neck was touching her snout and soon she was feeding off him. Claudia found he had a rather odd tasting blood. It tasted like vampire blood, but it also tasted like human blood and there was something else too but Claudia couldn't place it. She squeeed as he sucked a bit harder and bit back, enjoying every minute of it.

*Rargh!*

Caleb laughed as Glade pounced on him, knocking him onto his back and licking his face

*Oh no! I have been trapped by the ferocious Salamander! Somebody help!* he giggled

Glade had grown to the size of a large pony in the space of four days. She now looked like a veloceraptor...but orange and with longer and stronger forearms.

*Beware! For if you move I shall eat you!* Glade said mockingly

*Oh no you won't!* Caleb said and lifted Glade easily over his head.

Glade cheeped in surprise before wriggling out of his grasp and landing on her powerful hind legs.

*That wasn't fair!* she whinged

*Oh shush...I won.*

*You cheated!*

*Did not*

*Did too!*

**Now now children. There's no need to fight.**

They both turned and bowed. Matilda walked forwards and placed her hands on their heads.

'You know you don't have to bow.' She said

'Yes mistress.' Caleb mumbled as a sense of warmth rose around him.

'I've come to check on the progress of Glade here.'

Caleb looked up and grinned. He stroked Glade's smooth head and let his fingers trace down her back. Glade churred and arched her neck at the touch. Her scales were snake soft and were a healthy metallic orange with tiny gold flecks. Her snake like tail wrapped around Caleb's waist and she lifted him onto her back.

*We, are doing perfectly.* she said with a great deal of pride

'She'll be the size of a horse in no time.' Caleb said 'And she's already stronger than one.'

'Excellent. Once a salamander reaches that size they will only grow a tiny amount every five years.' Matilda said with a small smile

'How long do they live for anyway?' Caleb asked

*As long as you do.* Glade said.

*Really? So...your life is tied with mine?*

*Oh yes. The bond between a salamander and their chosen partner is very strong. It's all rather complicated.*

'Yes it is.' Matilda agreed with a nod. 'I did, however, come here with ulterior motives.' She added

Caleb and Glade turned serious.

'As soon as the other salamanders are big enough, we make our move.'

'Move? What move?' Caleb said, confused

'Why, to war of course!' Matilda said with a maniacal grin.

'War?!' Caleb shouted 'I am not going to war!'

They were in a large round room filled with cushions (much like every other large round room in the palace)

The other Eleven were there and each one looked as shocked as the others, apart from Jessie and Renamon, who sat looking calm.

'Why ever not? You are my slave after all. You will do what I say.' Matilda replied calmly

'I.Am.Not.Going.To.War.' Caleb said flatly

his collar glowed and his eyes widened before glazing over. He sank to the cushions with a small smile on his face.

'You will all go to war. I will tell you every thing once you have the basic training instilled within you.'

'Uhm...mistress? How will you do that?' Claudia asked

'Caleb is already receiving it. Your collars will teach you all you need to know.'

'But...' Claudia was cut off as her collar began to glow, her eyes glazed over and she to slumped to the floor with a small smile on her face. One by one all the chosen did this until only Renamon was left.

'Come with me pet.' Matilda said, beckoning.

Renamon rose and followed.

They arrived in Matilda's private rooms, Renamon closed the door behind her, breath quickening slightly at the thought of what was to come. Matilda came slowly up to her and placed a paw on Renamon's breast, before pulling the digimon into a long slow kiss. Their tongues danced and swirled around each other, and saliva dribbled out the corner of Renamon's mouth. She went limp in Matilda's arms, this always happened, there was something about Matilda's kiss that made you relax into a subservient state. Renamon gasped as Matilda slowly slid one of her fingers into the yellow canine's pussy.

*

Jeff sat in the watch tower, his rifle resting against the wall as he enjoyed a quiet cigarette. Guard duty wasn't bad when you were in the tower; you could have a smoke and not get shouted at. He took a long puff and looked out over the military base. It was hidden some where in the Rockies in North America. The only way in or out was really by helicopter. There where other ways but most of them could kill you, the only reason he was up in the tower was to watch out for lost hikers, campers and conspiracy theorists. He looked at the sky and saw dark clouds gathering over head, the clouds glowing with lightning.

'Looks like a bit of a storm...' he mused quietly

Not long later the rain came hammering down. Jeff sighed and lit another cigarette.

*

'The storm is in place mistress.' Jessie said

The other chosen stood up straight as Matilda strode past them. They had all assembled in the armoury with the skeletal warriors who had armed themselves with a variety of weapons. None of which were technomantic and none of which were guns.

'We like swords and things better than guns.' One said when Eden asked why

'This is all so surreal!' Caleb had said when they saw the assembled ranks of skeletons.

Each one of the chosen were wearing white armour that reminded Caleb of the armour worn by the "Eldar Guardians" in his Warhammer army, only chunkier and more protective.

The chosen had been shown the armoury by Matilda after receiving their armour and had been told to choose their weapons. Caleb had settled for two arm-length gauntlets. The fingers were long and claw like, ideal for shredding anything from a person to a heavily armoured tank. He also found armour for Glade. This consisted of a helmet type thing and armour to protect her neck, back, flanks and tail.

Matilda smiled at her chosen.

'We are ready.' She said 'Remember I want as many taken alive as possible and I want the base mostly intact. This will be our staging point for the invasion of this planet.'

'What is the planet called?' Goliath asked

Matilda looked at him with a smile

'Earth.' She said
