Unnatural: The Fighters

Chapter Five

"We have decided to accept your request and defend your planet with you." The Chief Hunter said to the human soldiers.

"Thank you, Chief Hunter." Zach says, "How may we repay you?"

"That's what we were about to get into." The Chief said, "Hunters will do any job, for the right price."

"How much were you thinking?"

"Twenty thousand of whatever currency that you pay with as a planet."

Zach was obviously shocked. Twenty thousand as a planet? Earth didn't even have an agreed on currency and was not as technologically advanced as the Hunters. So that's what Zach told the Chief Hunter.

"Then whatever currency you have available to you is what you will pay."

Alright, so that would be twenty thousand dollars, Daylon realized. Twenty thousand DOLLARS? Daylon thought. He barely had a twenty dollar a week allowance and the chief was asking for a thousand times that! Zach seemed to have it covered though.

"Deal." He said.

"We'll have ships ready in a few hours." The Chief said, "I hope you enjoyed your stay on Planet Hunter."

The humans left for their ships. Daylon went up to Zach.

"Zach, are you insane?" Daylon said, "We don't have twenty thousand dollars!"

"Relax," Zach said, "I made some calls before we left Earth. The government is willing to fund whoever we bring to Earth for help."

"Oh, ok I guess."

Skip ahead a couple hours, and the fleet was ready to go.

"Coordinates for Earth are one zero seven, eight six two, four eight nine two zero." Bella said to a pilot.

"Yes, Lieutenant Thompson," the pilot said, "I'll have light speed activated not long after we're in space, ma'am."

 

The ships took off and were quickly in light speed. They were heading back to earth to finish off the Reverse.

 

"Here's the plan." Reverse Zach said to the army, "We're going to activate the de-teleportation charges all over both worlds. That will effectively close the wormholes and save both universes."

"Once that's done, we conquer our mirror world, right?" Reverse Daylon said.

"Wrong, Daylon." Reverse Zach said, "We've put that world through enough. It's time we put an end to the conquering and accept our fate."

"What?" Reverse Daylon said, "That was not part of the deal, Zach. We can't just let our entire race die out because of a little mistake—"

"Little mistake?" Reverse Zach said, "You mined at the core of the earth, you allowed wormholes to be opened, the entirety of two universes is at stake, and you call it a 'little mistake'? You haven't changed, Daylon. You're just as heartless as when I left your team."

Reverse Zach started to leave. "Wait, Zach." Reverse Daylon said, "You're right. We shouldn't conquer anymore. It's time we accept our fate."

"I knew you'd come around. Now let's get to work."
