Zeon

Chapter 4 Zaitan

Zaitan was young. Or so everyone said. But he was already 23 and always said that he was old inough to fight. All his friends who were 25 had been admited but he was still here in school along with some other babies. So why shouldn't he fight! He was angry at the thought that his own father was the leader of the army and did not allow him to enter. Today I will escape. Were all the thoughts he had. 

He took his Dracon that he had earned from his father and jumped on his back. It was a beautiful creature, the most beautiful one on the planet. Taking into the air was easy for a well trained Zeonian and so Zaitan got off into the with ease. He was surprised when no one followed him. Instead the sky behind him stayed empty.

Had they all gone to fight? Was this the great day as it was called. Zaitan felt angry both at his father and mother who had urged him to stay away from all fighting! How could they, they might die and I would know only days later!  Oh but I will help them no matter what!

Do not read if you are under 12 or 13. There are a lot of bloody scenes now and it will get worse later on in the book!

There under Zaitan was the battlefield. There were people and aliens al over the place, fighting with whatever they had. There was a friend of his pinned down by gun fire. Zaitan didn't think long, he dived down into a dive and cut off a few heads while passing over the aliens. Blood spattered on his legs as the heads went rolling. 

A cheer went up rom his people as they found their new way open into the ranks of the aliens. Zaitan felt even better when one of his friends called out, "I don't know if you should be here! But for what ever reason, I am glad!"

In answer Zaitan went for another small alien squad, they however were prepared and tried to pin him down with gunfire. Zaitan knew what to do, after all he had been trained all his life to be a warrior. Spinning and circling he got close inough to know down two heads, scrape an arm, and cut off a leg. The bow came next, He fired it and a robotic machine which was taking down dozen of his men in seconds. The arrow flew and stuck into the glass wall of the head, then it exploded and the machine lay lifeless with its driver in it. 

"Retreat! Retreat!" a voice called.

Zaitan jumped into the air and yelled out, "Yippie! We won!"

Just then a bullet caught his shoulder as he was jumping. Zaitan went tumbling down to the floor, and blacked out.
