Unnatural: The Fighters

Chapter Two

Daylon held up a pair of binoculars to his eyes. The ship wasn't heavily guarded, but there were a few people there. It looked like Reverse Daylon had already started bringing his army back to Earth. It had only been a few hours.

"I count ten of them," Daylon said.

Alpha Squad armed their weapons. "Hold your fire," Zach said, grabbing the binoculars from Daylon. He gave orders to each person to fire on different people. "Now!" he yelled. Each person fired their guns. Daylon noticed the Reverse going down.

"Move out!" Zach said.

The team moved down to the ship. Zach told Alpha Squad to search the bodies for anything we could use to get into the ship. Daylon found a key card in one of the Reverse's pockets. He swiped it on the door and it worked. Zach and Alpha Squad went into the ship.

"Alright Zach," the squad leader said, "How do we turn this thing on?"

"Daylon, hand me that key card." Daylon did so. Zach swiped it on the ship's control panel.

"Connor, can you fly this thing?" Zach asked the shortest kid in the squad.

"Can't be much different from flying a jet." Connor said. He sat in the chair. Zach gave him the coordinates to set the GPS for. And then they were off.

"Go! Faster! We need every troop on that world right now!"

Reverse Daylon yelled at his army. They were determined to capture the other world.

"Sir." An officer said to Reverse Daylon, "One of our ships disappeared from the other world."

"What?!" Reverse Daylon yelled, "How could you let this happen?"

"Sir, I believe that your counterpart was on the ship that was stolen."

"DAMN! We need to catch him! Now he's going who-knows-where on a ship that was stolen from us!"

"Sir, I believe we need to find Dr. Zaxiom."

"No. Dr. Zaxiom has been exiled for years. He wouldn't want to work with us."

"Sir, they're fighting with his counterpart. It would be in our best interest to—"

"I SAID NO!"

The officer left at that. Reverse Daylon thought back to the time he exiled Dr. Zaxiom. Zach had been against the mining and the portals to other worlds. He refused to build any more teleportation charges, so Reverse Daylon exiled him. He had been missing ever since.

Reverse Daylon thought about finding him; he was the smartest man alive, but he was eccentric. Plus, he would want to do things his way, not Reverse Daylon's way. That was a sacrifice that Reverse Daylon was willing to make, he decided.

The Reverse had done one more thing that had advanced their world beyond the Earth of Daylon and Zach: faster-than-light space travel. This ship was equipped with just that. Within hours, the group had arrived at Planet Hunter.

"These are the coordinates, sir." said Connor.

The screens lit up. There was an incoming transmission.

"Answer it," Zach said, "It could be important."

Connor answered it. A large-looking man appeared on the screen. He looked almost human, except he had paler skin, sharper ears, and a slightly larger head than a normal human.

"I am the Chief of the Hunters," he said, "State your business and we will allow you to land on our planet."

"We are from the planet Earth," Zach said, "We received a transmission from a human who lives on your world, Bella Thompson. We request to land on your planet and speak to her."

"Very well," the Chief Hunter said, "The ships you see there will escort you to where you need to land."

Four ships appeared from the planet. They surrounded the ship that the humans had.

"Zach," Daylon said, "are we sure we trust this? This feels like a trap."

"Daylon, calm down," Zach said, "Bella sent thistransmission, remember? This wasn't just some random alien – it was a human. Wecan trust it."
