Human Error

Allied Powers

The gigantic ship went ahead at full speed, not needing to hyper jump due to their enormous size. It arrived within a day, just a little after Serpent arrived, and sent off smaller ships for the planet. The large one remained stationary above the planet with 10 crew members staying on board. There were several small ships heading down, at least 50.

They landed in a desolate sort of area, right where the old shelter used to be. An old formation was made, one used by the Roman military ages ago. General Biyu's army took the left wing, General Hisato took the right wing, General Zion had the center, and the reserves were a mix of subjects from each country. Every one of them had a block shaped formation of their own, with the strongest subjects surrounding the lesser.

"Forward... march!" announced General Zion, whose orders were translated to Japanese and Chinese by the respected generals. The army began marching towards their destination, weapons drawn and eyes set all around, ready for a flank if it were to happen.

Guardian shook his head and went after his sister quickly, though slowed down as he neared the beast. He was not tamed, he could snap, just like her, at any moment.

"Is he... safe?" he asked, not daring to take his eyes off of the large creature.

"He's letting me pet him, so I don't see why not," the heterochromatic girl answered in a chipper voice. She proceeded to rub her hand along his snout again, smiling.

The sound of approaching footsteps, ones that were quick and loud, reached their ears. Serpent drew away and whipped around, now standing in front of the group.

They stopped.

A shrill yelp sounded out and a puddle of goo began forming.

"What is that thing?" a male voice asked.

"I am a test subject, just like all of you." A voice so deep it boomed, a growl put on certain sounds, and a slight echo after the voice spoke. It was male sounding, and yet the creature had no reproductive organs.

The children stood in awe at Serpent, though one still remained a puddle.

The words reached the armies ears and they looked around for the source, though they did not see it yet.

"Looks like we're in for a real treat, men," Zion said, smirking. How he loved fighting.

They kept moving until the forest was upon them. They entered, having to move around the trees and adjust their formation as they went along. Suddenly the beast came into view and weapons were raised.

"Attack on my word!" yelled the US general. The two other generals nodded and stared down their target, who placed himself in front of all of the children. Even from afar he towered over them. It was terrifying for everyone, and yet he was such a beautiful creature. It was a shame they were ordered to kill him and the children.

"Do not be afraid, my friends. I will take care of them," said the Serpent, who formed a little grin, then stared back at the army. He then spoke to them, "let us dance at death's door, shall we?"
