Chapter 1.
-Are you sure about this? -About what? These are our orders. -I see your point, but do really
think we should follow the orders of these humans? Their species were the ones that sided with
our creators enemies all those years ago, Zargare. And we were the ones that cleaned up their
mess when we returned here fifty years ago, Milgare. Were both old, and I see their reason why
they ask us to seek replacements for us.
Zargare and Milgare left the room after they had that conversation. Both of them were products
of the lost Atlantian technology. Zargare was the girl while Milgare was the boy. Zargare and Milgare
both were the architects of the systems the Soviet world Federation used in that men only made up five
percent of the total population inside the soviet world federation. In a word, humans were
manufactured in factories in order to maintain the ratio of one male per nineteen females. It was all in
the name of peace. Of course the west never bought it. Countries like the United States saw such things
as an anathema, and an affront to their countrys popular religion. Peace. That was something all myth
when it came to humans, thought Zargare. The other reason for the system was to forestall the coming
of another global war like the such both Zargare and Milgare saw the Soviets win when their two star
battleships entered the moons orbits after entering the solar system upon the two ships deceleration
from light speed.
Zargare thought about this as she walked to the base commanders office to discus the nature of
her new orders. Milgare was doing the same for sure. Reaching the office, Zargare asked the man the
sat at the desk, <Do you wish to see me, sir?> The man glanced at Zargare with a face devoid of
emotion as he replied, Yes. You did receive the order slip I hope? Zargare Nodded as she flashed the
slip of paper. At the mans side stood a woman who typed with one hand every word of the
conversation. Her face was as inhuman as the man she was assigned to both watch and monitor and
record his every action and word. The monitor only glanced at Zargare as she typed away at her pad
with her right hand as the other hand supported the touch screen she held that was her pad.Have you
decided the country at which you will begin your search, Zargare?
At this Zargare nodded as she handed the man in front of her, a slip of paper written in
Esperanto, the official language of the Soviet World Federation, Alaska. Reading the single word, the
man glared at Zargare, as he said to her, You do understand that this country is not a member state of
the SWF, Zargare. May I suggest a list of humans undergoing maturation? It would save you a lot of
time, and us much funding.> Zargare shook her head at the man in front of her, who raised his brow
and said, Turning to leave the room, Zargare heard the man say to her, <In that case, Please
report to the nearest airbase as soon as possible for transport to your desired destination.> Zargare
Nodded as she left the room to comply with the commanders request. As Zargare walked, Milgare met
up with her. <Where are you going, Zargare?> Zargare turned to her rival and replied, <To Alaska to
find a mimesis material.> <You have got to be kidding, Zargare.>
Zargare just glared at Milgare with disbelief. <Where I go, Milgare, and who I pick is my
business.> <Oh really, Zargare. After all I heard you say about humans? I have to say you gone
senile!> <Our kind does not age, Milgare. I was fourteen when the converted me into a mimesis, and
I will always look like girl whose fourteen, Milgare. Im already over halfway through my life-span of
fifteen-thousand years. We both are!> Milgare just rolled his eyes. <What Im wondering, Zargare, is
why youre such a bitch.> Milgare was also ten when they converted him into a mimesis. He did look
very handsome for someone who was supposed to be ten in appearance.
Zargare just scoffed as she laid both hands on her hips and glared at Milgare with a look of raw
contempt. Turning around, Milgare walked away as he flipped off Zargare and said, <Ill be in the
maturation labs if you need me. If ever!> Zargare just balled her hand in midair as she shook with
rage. It was then that Zargare regained her composure as she continued on her way. Milgare was also
an eternal preteen like Zargare. Both were created as the all purpose universal item. An artificial life
form with the ability to morph into anything and everything--as is the nature of a universal item known
as a mimesis. But the one thing that Zargare was wondering was the fact of why they wanted another
two mimesis. They already had herself and Milgare. From what Zargare knew of Alaska, it had once
been part of the country known as the United States. But had recently become a state in itself for both
economic and political reasonsnamely after the SWF's invasion and occupation of the place had
failed due to US intervention, and thus was a country that was still in the process of getting to its feet as
one of the world powers. Zargare thought of such a thing as laughable given the fact that the Soviet
World Federation had control of almost a third of the world.
------------------
It took half an hour of walking, but Zargare came to the bus terminal. Walking up to the desk,
the woman who sat behind it noticed Zargare and said to her, <Oh, Zargare! This is a surprise. Why
are you here? Dont you have work at the genetic development and prototype maturation
department?> Looking up at her, Zargare smiled and replied, <Not today. I have business overseas in
the west. And I need a ticket to for a bus that will take me to the nearest airbase so I may board a plane
that will fly me to Alaska.> At once a worried expression flashed across the womans face as she said,
<Alaska? Isnt that one of the countries still controlled by men?> Zargare nodded as she then heard
this woman say to her, Zargare smirked.
<Sounds scary,> said Zargare who now wanted to board the bus and end the conversation.
 said the woman who was completely into the current topic of conversation.
Smiling the woman then cradled her chin in her hands as she said to Zargare, <And the worst thing
about them is the fact that they mate and breed just like animals in heat do! They even take and draw
pictures of it--for fun! Its totally gross!> What this woman referred to was normal human behavior.
Personally, Zargare couldnt care less about it. Being eternally fourteen, Zargare experienced lust, but
being a mimesis had the advantage of reigning that in altogether.
There was also good reason for the existence of lust, and that was Death comes for everyone
eventually--even both Zargare and Milgare. Deciding to end the conversation, Zargare said to the
woman, <Really? Theres
just too much I want to tell you about where youre going, Zargare.> 'All of which is wrong,' thought
Zargare. answered Zargare as she began to walk away. <Just be very careful
when you get there. Okay.> Zargare nodded at her as she left her sight.
Walking for a few moments, Zargare came to a bench and sat down. Looking around, Zargare
watched the gears of her contrived society turn as the woman walked together in groups of two or
three, and the men with there ever present monitors walking beside them as the people Zargare saw
conversed among themselves about the various events of their lives both personal, political, and those
relating to where each group would their time while having their next meal. In a word, Zargare found
all of this to be quite stoic in its own way.
Seeing the bus arrive, Zargare rose from the bench as she then walked towards the bus.
Boarding the bus, Zargare flashed her ID card and then walked down the isle to pick a seat. Finding a
seat, Zargare sat down, and stared out the window as the bus pulled away from the station and picked
up speed. As Zargare sat, she heard that she herself became the subject of the conversation from the bus
passengers. Five minutes passed, and the bus came to the gate of the airbase.
When the bus came to a stop, the door opened, and two female guards boarded the bus to verify
the clearance of each passenger on the bus. One by one the two guards made their way down the isle
until they came to Zargare and froze as the two women went pale from the fact of seeing Zargares
face. <Oh my god,> said one of them, <Its Zargare!> The two females were ecstatic at the sight of
Zargare. <Can I get your autograph?> asked one of them. Zargare nodded as she took the sheet of
paper and signed her name on it. Zargare could see a look of excitement on her face as she handed the
sheet back to her. The two guards then continued their walk down the isle of the bus to verify the
clearance of everyone there. When the two women were satisfied with everyone, they walked back to
the front of the bus and talked to the driver and telling her that she was clear to continue. Leaving the
bus, the two female guards waved the bus onwards.
The bus once again picked up speed as it rolled past the checkpoint. The bus then accelerated to
a speed of thirty miles per hour. Zargare watched as the concrete buildings passed by. After three
minutes, the bus pulled into a bus station. When the bus came to a stop, Zargare got up from the seat
and walked to the front of the bus. Getting off the bus, Zargare looked around and then proceeded to
walk her way to the where the transport plane waited.
------------------
Reaching the plane, Zargare boarded the aircraft and spoke with the pilot who said to Zargare
with disbelief, <Youre going to Alaska?> Zargare nodded at her as she said in reply, Thats right.
But I am not at liberty to explain.> The pilot only pursed her lip and then said to Zargare, <If thats
the case, then pick a seat a sit down. It is going to be quite a while before we arrive.>
--------------------
Milgare reached the maturation labs. The commander had told him about Zargare going to
Alaska. Of course it was after Zargare had told him herself. The relationship between himself and
Zargare was that of rivals. And the thing that Milgare hated the most about it, was the fact the soviet
women treated Zargare like a mini-goddess. Milgare gritted his teeth at the thought of this. They owed
every bit as much to him as they did to that damn Zargare. And what enraged Milgare the most, was
how wantonly they disregarded the very fact of this. Like Zargare, Milgare was Cyan-haireda side
effect of being converted into a mimesis of light. Reaching the head of the department, Milgare saw it
was another man that stood as his monitor watched him work like a hawk watching the ground below.
The monitor was the first to notice Milgare as he walked past her and got the man's attention.
Annoyance broke the blank look on the monitor's face as she said to Milgare, <The doctor is busy! I
ask that you leave forthwith.> <Like hell,> said Milgare as he answered the bitch, <I'm here to
place an order by the command of the base commander.> The monitor just looked at Milgare with
hate. Hearing Milgare, the department head, turned around and smiled as he said to him, <Milgare! It's
nice to see you again.> Nodding Milgare said, <As am I. I'm here to place a production order of one
human female of the mid-teen age range. She also needs to have a body type of the following
measurements.>
The measurements Milgare wrote down, was for a girl who was very attractive with D-cup
sized breasts, stout hips, 160 centimeters high, and being around 55kilograms in weight. Seeing the
written down specifications, The department head smiled as he said, <It's been a while since anybody
put in an order like this. I'll order her production forthwith.> Smiling, Milgare thanked him as he left
the lab. And as Milgare left the lab, the monitor said to him, <You had no right to have done that.>
 Milgare spat. The monitor narrowed her eyes as she heard Milgare say
to her, <This may come as a surprise to you, but if it was not for me, you wouldn't be able make
anybody clean your ass for you like you make your man do for you daily.> Milgare could see the rage
dancing in her eyes as the monitor glared at Milgare. The monitor then slapped Milgare; but instead of
striking flesh, the monitor's hand slapped against hardened armor-grade iron. There was a crunch as
half the bones in her hand shattered. Clutching her hand, the monitor cried out in pain as Milgare left
the lab. 'I'm going to the heavens in a week,' thought Milgare as he returned to his room.
------------------------
Chapter 2.
The trip took two days. Zargare was bored as she sat and looked at the ground below. They
were nearing Alaska. She could tell by the fact of the water below them. Getting up from her seat,
Zargare walked up and down the isle until one of the crew-women approached Zargare and asked her,
<Have any plans in Alaska?> <What do you mean?> Zargare asked. answered the woman. Zargare sat down in the nearest seat and looked up at
her as she said to her, 
The woman wowed as she sat next to Zargare. <Who do you think it would be? It better not be
a boy. Those are gross.> <Would you stop that!?> said Zargare, <Humans arent really like that at
all!> The Woman made no attempt to hide her shock as she glared at Zargare agape with disbelief.
<What did you say?> she said to Zargare. It was then that the bitch said to Zargare, <I happen to
know how sinful those humans are, Zargare. The Soviet World Federation will always be better than
those countries where humans mate like a pair of dogs in heat, and as such disorder their society with
sin.>
Zargare wanted to scream at her! It was then that Zargare decided to tell this woman about
some of the things she saw before she and the other ships caused the great flood. <Bullshit,>
answered Zargare to the woman beside her who was enraged by these words. And before she could
open her mouth to contort, Zargare said to her, <All humans will be sinful no matter what. Even ones
that are manufactured. I know because their nature is slightly better than unchanged from the time of
old Atlantis 14,000 years ago. But it was a lot worse than it is now.>
The woman was laughing. <Atlantis? There was no such place. There's no evidence to support
your claim> <Wrong,> answered Zargare, <You're talking to the evidence. I was there fighting a
war! And I am one of those whose responsible for Atlantis' destruction when myself and five other star-
ships caused sea levels to rise for forty days and forty nights when we bombarded the polar icecaps
using both lasers and atomic weapons. And the thing I noticed about human, is granted they're better
then they were 14,000 years ago, but little has really changed. Namely your treatment of men
especially my rival Milgare.> The woman just glared at Zargare as she turned her head away and said
nothing. Silence was just another form of saying no. This woman did not believe her. And that was
okay. Zargare did not need to prove anything at allunlike the the whole of the human race.
It was like this for the next several hours as Zargare sat in her seat and glanced out the window
from time to time. Soon it came time to make the jump. As Zargare got up from her seat, she walked
over to the back of the plane. One of the women offered Zargare a parachute, but Zargare refused when
she said to the woman, <Thanks, but that is completely unnecessary,> as an umbrella morphed from
Zargares right arm. Stepping towards the open door, Zargare opened the umbrella and jumped from the
plane.
------------------
It took no more than three minutes to land, and Zargare caused the umbrella to morph back into
an arm. That never seems to get old, Zargare mumbled to herself as she looked at her reflection in a
nearby puddle of water. The person Zargare saw staring back at her was a girl that was really attractive,
had red skin, short cyan hair, and metallic gold eyes. The outfit Zargare saw herself wearing in her
reflection was a black turtle-neck jacket, a dark gray skirt, and a pair of skin-tight boots that were both
knee-high.
Content with her appearance and wear, Zargare began to walk in the direction of the city known
as Anchorage. Getting there an hour later, Zargare looked around at the men, women, and children as
they walked about the sidewalks going about their day. Almost at once, Zargare could see the people
around her glaring at her. It was then that a group of five young men about in their teens approached
Zargare and surrounded her. It was at this moment that one of them, clearly their leader, stepped in
front of Zargare and looked her in the eyes as he said to her, Hey baby. Wheres the fire?
Zargare stopped walking as she looked up at the boy in front of her. Leave her alone, Zack,
said another who joined the group Zargare saw it was a girl about age fifteen. This girl gave Zack a
dirty look as she said to him, We are supposed to looking for what we are going have for our dinner,
Zack. Not trying to convince some girl to jump into bed with you. Not that it is the first time you tried
as gross as the idea is. Isnt getting the food we all eat Claus job, Shirley. I do remember sending
him to get some from the market place, said Zack with a smirk and ignoring Shirleys remark.
Were all supposed to pitching in today, Zack. If you had not noticed, were running low on
everything, said Shirley as she face palmed. Noticing Zargare, Shirley walked up to her, knelt, and
said, Did he give you any trouble? He can be such a bum sometimes. Zargare in reply, said to Shirley,
Not really. Although Im wondering if youll give me a place to stay for the night. I just arrived here.
Shirley smiled as she said, Sure. One night is fine. Zack at once objected as he said, What!? You
want to take her in? We barely have room for ourselves, let alone another--even on a good day!
I thought you were all for taking this girl home with you, answered Shirley with a chuckle. At these
words, Zacks face grew bright red as he averted his gaze from Shirley. Shirley only laughed at his
reaction as she said, Boys these days. Come on, Everyone. Lets call it a day.
------------------
There were many words Zargare thought of when she saw their abode at first glance. None of
them related in any way to the words refined or pristine. It was slightly better than worse when she
walked through the front door. Looking around, Zargare said, This place has seen better days. Thats
for sure, but its all weve got at this point, relied Shirley as she smiled at Zargare. It looks like Claus
is home. And he has gotten all the food were going to eat, said a girl.
Who is this Claus? asked Zargare Hes the weirder one of the boys that lives with us. I
personally think all boys are weird, but by far hes as weird as they come. He never even steals
anything of value like the rest of us! He always purchases with money, and only things like books and
our food. He spends almost all his time in that room of his, except the times he comes down to eat or
leaves to get our food for us or leaves for days before returning. Claus is very reliable, and thats why
Ive allowed him to live here. The one rule I have is that to live here, you have to provide for the others
that live here, and getting our food is how Claus does this, answered Shirley.
Zargare did not give this a second thought; but she did think that this Claus sounded like a very
interesting and intelligent boy, and Zargare now desired greatly to meet Claus. By the way, said
Shirley as she turned her gaze upon Zargare. Making eye contact with Shirley, Zargare heard Shirley
ask her, Whats your name? To this Zargare replied, Its Zargare. Thats a strange name, said
Shirley, But a nice one. Thank you, said Zargare. Not a problem, said Shirley with a giggle. It
was at this moment that both Shirley and Zargare heard one of the upstairs doors open, close after a
moment, and then heard footsteps of someone coming downstairs.
Speak of the devil, said Shirley as Zargare saw a man about in his early twenties with short
white hair with dark-brown streaks came into sight. Getting a better look at him, Zargare saw Claus to
be both striking and halfway androgynous in his general appearance. He had hazel eyes that held a
penetrating gaze and wore a pair of elliptical eyeglasses. The main feature that stood out was the 6 that
was on his forehead Claus was rather tall and wore clothing that consisted of ex-military wear--namely
those from the Soviet World Federation. Claus face was completely stoic as he laid his eyes onto
Zargare and then began to walk up to her. Claus got within an arms reach of Zargare before he turned
to Shirley and asked her, -Who is this girl, Shirley? Claus' voice was mechanical with a booming and
musical accent as it came from a collar around his neck.
Shirley gave Claus a dirty look as she replied, She is Zargare. Shell be staying with us for the
night. Claus smirked as he turned around and walked towards the pile of bread that sat on the table.
Picking up a small loaf of wheat, Claus took a bite out of it as he asked Shirley, -So. Where will she be
sleeping? It was then that Zargare spoke up as she said, If you dont mind at all, I would like to sleep
in his room, pointing to Claus. Shirley was both speechless and agape and then recomposed herself as
she said, Youve got to kidding. Claus on the other hand showed nothing less than indifference as he
said, What ever. She could do what she wants. Claus then turned around and headed back upstairs to
his room. Thats a first, said Shirley. What do you mean? asked Zargare. Shirley looked at her as if
she was insane as Shirley said to Zargare, After what Ive told you of the boy? The rest of us cant
really stand him. He does not even use his mouth to speak, and you want to spend time with Claus?
Nodding, Zargare said, I sure do. Which way is his room? Lowering her head, Shirley replied, Its
the first door you see when you head upstairs. And it was then that Zargare began to make her way
upstairs.
------------------
Chapter 3.
Gunfire reverberated the air as Claus ran through the streets of a ruined city. He was in a group
of three other solders. -V-06. What is your mission status? Said a female voice over the radio. -Both
my fire-team, and fire-team Beta are in position and clear to proceed with the mission objective,
Claus replied as a female solder walked up to him. It was at this moment that the female voice on the
radio said to Claus, -Roger that, V-06. You and your fire-teem are clear to proceed. Your orders are to
eliminate all insurgents on sight. Am I clear, V-06? -Yes, Maim. Proceeding with mission. -Copy,
that, V-06. Happy hunting. Control out. Claus turned to the female solder who stood next to him and
said to her, -We are proceeding with the mission. <Already?> asked the female solder as the other
two, also female walked up to Claus and looked at him.
-Our orders are to eliminate all insurgents we find and see, said Claus to his fire-teem. All
three of Claus' women went pale as one of them said to Claus, <But there's children in there. Are we
really going to kill them too?> -Do you want Us to be shot for disobeying orders? Answered Claus
as he began to walk into the building. Claus then ordered them to follow as the four of them entered the
building. It was then that Claus jumped out of the way as a hail of gunfire plastered one of his women,
and finished her before she even hit the ground. Firing through the wall, Claus heard a cry, and then the
thud of a body hitting the ground. Looking over the side of the wall, Claus confirmed his kill, and then
ordered his two women to scout ahead of himonly to hear the sound of a fire-fight, and then seeing
their vitals on his HUD become straight lines. Stiffening his lip, Claus decided to proceed with his
mission as he began to run throughout the building and cutting-down everyone he saw.
------------------------------
There was a knock at the door of his room as Claus awoke from his dream. Rising from his
futon, Claus grabbed a handgun from a bookcase, and walked towards the door to his room. This
better be good, he thought as he opened the door. Seeing Zargare standing at its entry, Claus said to
her, -What do you want? Im busy! May I come in? asked Zargare as she looked Claus in the eyes.
Claus said nothing as he pondered the question. It was at this moment that he turned around and
allowed Zargare to enter his room. -Just dont touch anything unless I say, mumbled Claus as he
closed the door to his room. Looking around, Zargare could see an entire wall that was covered with
bookcases--all but one were filled with books and was used as a gun rack which Zargare saw a soviet
made SMG and several other weapons being kept thereof which Claus added the handgun he was
holding to it. Turning around, Zargare saw a desk that had a light blue Remington typewriter sitting at
the desks center. Also on the desk was a small oil lamp that provided the only light in the room, a
record player, a few books that lay open, and a stack of papers. On the other side of the room sat a
mirror. And lastly in the room's center hung a birdcage that held a raven that watched her like a hawk.
Seeing Claus return to his futon, Zargare saw him lay down and stare at the ceiling as his eys
began a scanning motion that indicated thought. Rising from his futon, Claus walked over to the mirror,
and removed his shirt. From what Zargare could see, Claus back, chest, and belly were covered with
over thirty scars and various protrusions metal fused to his body as well as the fact of him being
slightly underfed. It was then that Claus became half-nude as he walked over to his typewriter and sat
down on the futon that he used as a seat. From what Zargare could tell from this boy, he was
completely indifferent to the fact of a girl seeing him like this and seeing him nude. A fact that
confirmed Zargare's suspicions that The Soviets had worked on him and altered him in some way.
Zargare then saw Claus open a compartment to his desk and take out the loaf of bread that he
had taken earlier, and began to eat it. Seeing that the compartment to his was still open, Zargare looked
inside and saw that Claus had an entire stash of food. Most all of the food Zargare saw were halfway
spoiled at worst, and a couple days old at best. Claus did not seem to mind at all as he ate. Turning to
Zargare, Claus asked her, -Arent you going to eat? Dont need any for a while, replied Zargare who
saw Claus shrug. Why are you naked? asked Zargare as she looked at Claus body and saw he was
more mature that she first thought.
-A habit, he answered as he walked to a pile of clothes to redress. Looking around the room
some more, Zargare looked at the bird cage hanging from the ceiling that had the raven inside that
looked at her. Turning to Claus who had now redressed, Zargare asked him, How old are you? -Im
fourteen, Claus replied as his eyes moved down Zargares figure. -Youre just a kid, he said. When I
want to be, Zargare answered. It was then that Claus walked over to his desk and got out some food as
he then walked over to the cage.
Opening the cage, Claus allowed the bird inside to perch onto his right forearm as fed the raven
with his left. Claus then froze as if someone had said something to him. Seeing Claus nod, she then saw
Claus glance at her and then turned his gaze back to the bird that sat on his arm. It seemed like the two
were having a chat. Scanning the various radio waves, Zargare found that the two were having a chat.
They were communicating electronically! -Whos that female, Claus? -I dont know for sure. Shes
new and I know nothing about her. -Are you going to spending time with her instead of me? -Look I
don't really know her, Kielko. She was the one who came up her with me. I did not invite her in.
-I don't know about that, Claus. There just is not anything I would call normal about that girl there. I
want her gone, Claus! You know how I feel about humans other than you.
-Whos your friend, Claus? asked Zargare Electronically as she sat down on the futon. Claus
had heard Zargare and looked at Zargare with nothing less than shock on his face. Giving Zargare a
dirty look, Claus said to her, -You heard us? Zargare only nodded as Claus sat down next to her on the
futon. It was then that Zargare saw a number tattooed onto the side of Claus neck. It explained
everything about why this Claus was able to communicate electronically. He was part of testing
program done by the Soviet world federation during their occupation of Alaska which ended with
revolution backed by the united states.
That number, said Zargare as she looked at Claus neck. -That? Its the reason the others
dont like me, Zargare. I was their favorite and the others were not. They rebuilt my urinary
tract and did something to my head--adding to it something they called a computer and
electronic communications equipment. At least thats what they told me when I asked them. I can
out-think anyone, I can record what I read, I can even hear and speak with radio as well as see
picture that fill my sight whenever I want as well as watch TV, answered Claus who then pointed to
his collar and smiled as he said to Zargare, -And this collar that you see is what I use to talk. Don't
you ever speak through your mouth Claus? Zargare asked only to see Claus give her a puzzled look as
he said in reply, -What do you mean? This is how I've always talked to others. Zargare was agape.
This Claus was somebody that had never once in his life had ever used speech to communicate. Zargare
then grinned and smiled. Claus In-Brain-Computer was the exact prototype she had designed and built
for the Soviet government ten years agoas was his collar. And she was glad to hear of its use. More
and more Zargare liked this Claus. And it was then that Zargare decided to convert Claus into a
mimesis like herself.
Looking Claus in the eyes, Zargare asked him, How would you like another power? Claus
looked away as he replied, -I dont really know. I do pretty much have what I want in this room.
Would you mind showing me what you mean? Nodding, Zargare rose from the futon and walked to
the center of the room. Reaching the rooms center, Zargares enter body glowed brightly as she
changed form into a clock, sat as a clock for a few moments, and then glowed brightly again as Zargare
morphed back into her original form. Walking over the Claus side again, Zargare sat back down on the
futon and asked Claus, What do you think? Now thats my power. And it can be yours as well if you
agree for me to give you it. Claus seemed more than willing when he nodded at Zargare who then
kissed him as a bright light engulfed the entire room as Zargare, Claus, and Kielko all vanished into
thin air.
------------------------------------
Chapter 4.
-Where are we? asked Claus as he looked around. Where-ever they now were, they sure
werent at the house any longer. Were in hell. Or at least thats the name you humans have for the
place, replied Zargare who looked around at the ice, snow, and frozen sand that seemed to on as far as
the eye could see. And it was cold! Claus, Seeing Zargares forearms seem to vanish, they then
reappeared with two heavy coats. Throwing one of them to Claus, who caught the garment, heard
Zargare say to him, Put this on. You will need it for the trip ahead. It was then that Zargare turned
around and walked past Claus who himself turned and saw a girl about his age but nude. And she was
hot! Claus then saw Zargare lay her hand onto the girl as clothes morphed onto her. And it was then
that Zargare dressed the girl in the coat that she had in hand. Zargare then set her forehead against the
girls, and then said to her, Can you understand what I am saying to you? and to this the girl nodded
as she answered, Yes. -Who is she? asked Claus as he stepped forward.
Turning around to face Claus, Zargare said to him, Thats Kielko there, Claus. There was
disbelief in his eyes. Its true, said the girl. I took the liberty of downloading the workings and
vocabulary of the English Language so the three of us may speak, said Zargare. From what Claus
could see of his Kielko, she was quite shy and a bit scared. Zargare then turned around and began
walking. Looking at Kielko, Claus said to her, -I think we should follow her, Kielko. Hearing this,
Zargare turned to them and said, Nice name.
Blushing, Kielko nodded as she then heard Zargare say to both she and Claus, The golden rule
of this place is that you never leave my side no matter what or unless I say its safe to. Because the
place in here we are going, the ones that live there are so deadly, they put the deadliest of humans to
shame a dozen times over. Am I clear? Both Kielko and Claus nodded as the three of them began to
walk in a direction. Turning to Kielko, Claus said to her, -Well at least I can speak to you freely now,
Kielko. Kielko Gave Claus a dirty at his joke. The place she told us about sure sounds scary, said
Kielko.
Claus only nodded. Turning his gaze onto Zargare, Claus thought to him self, What have I
gotten myself into? Looking at Kielko, Claus saw she was really cute. She had Raven hair, gray eyes,
and pale skin that contrasted beautifully with her hair as well as a petite build. -I have to say you make
a really good looking human woman, said Claus as his eyes scanned down Kielkos figure. And at
once Kielko blushed as she looked down at herself and then patted herself down with her hands as her
face grew bright red. Claus only laughed at this as Kielko said, Dont laugh. You dont know how
scary this is! -I guess you really scared of humans, Kielko, said Claus with suppressed laughter as
Kielko gave Claus a dirty look as she said to him, So you prefer humans over me now, Claus? I should
be enough for you. Claus was agape as he glared at Kielko as if she was insane. Averting his gaze
from Kielko, Claus remembered all of those brothels he spent time in between his missions working
with the Alaskan Police.
Okay you two, said Zargare, Thats enough. And yes, Kielko. Youre human right now. And
the reason for it is the fact that anybody who enters this place reverts to human form. So like it or not,
Kielko, youre human for the duration of our time spent in this place. and it was at this moment that
all three of them began to walk again. And they did walk for what seemed like forever. Until the three
of them came within sight of a large walled city. There it is, said Zargare, Weve finally have
arrived at our destination: the city of Pandemonium--the capital of this place.
----------------------------------------
The three reached the outskirts of the city. -This place looks like a dump, said Claus as both he
and Kielko looked around. Entering the city itself twenty minutes later, the first thing Claus noticed
was the fact of everyone in the city being girls; and every one of them good looking! At once they
started to leer at Claus with their eyes scanning him. What ever you do, Claus, stay away from them.
Those are fallen angles that are watching us. Zargare could see them already at work attempting to use
Claus lust as a tool to lure him away from the group.
And then just as Zargare feared, a group of two of them approached Claus and said to him,
Why hello there. Claus stopped as looked at them and blushed. Get away from him! yelled
Zargare. The two fallen angles just glared at Zargare was hate. What did you just say? demanded one
of them as she stepped in front of Zargare and looked down at her. The fallen angle seeing Zargares
early teen form, spat, Youre just a brat! Thats it! thought Zargare who was now seeing red.
Looking around Zargare saw Claus was nowhere to be seen! Seeing Kielko laying on the ground
knocked out, Zargare clinched her teeth as she said, Shit! She made off with him! The other angle
was gone as well! I must find him and soon. If Claus becomes intimate with a fallen angle, Hell
become enslaved to her both body and soul! And if that happens, Ill never get him back!
--------------------------------------
Chapter 5.
-Where exactly are we going? asked Claus as the fallen angle led him by the hand. They were
running. Back to my place, she replied with a giggle. After all, I want to show you a good time
there. Turning around, the fallen angle only saw a puzzled look in Claus eyes. Looking at the Fallen
angle, Claus saw she was a very good looking girl. Looking away from her, Claus said, -I must really
be getting back. Zargare wont be very happy with me if stay way fo-- The Fallen angle grabbed
Claus and deep kissed him before he could say another word.
By the time she was done kissing him, Claus was blushing. Looking into his eyes, the Fallen
angle said to Claus, You dont need that little girl. You can have me as your girlfriend, and Ill let you
sleep with me in my bed. She then began to move Claus hand until it lay on her breast as she then
asked, So what do you say? Stop right there, you whore! yelled Zargare as she had Kielko on her
back with the firemans carry. And just when it was getting good, growled the Fallen angle as she
glared at Zargare. Walking up to her, Zargare said to the fallen angle, That boy is the one Ive chosen
to convert into a mimesis. I will need him later.
To convert into a mimesis you say? said another female voice. And at once Zargare grew
pale. It was satin! Satin, seeing Claus standing there, walked up to him and said to him, I have to say
how adorable and good looking you are. Claus looked at her and saw the same applied to this girl in a
big way. Get away from her, Claus! cried Zargare. Satin only smiled as she said to Zargare, Come
now. I was about to say Im all for you converting this boy into creature of your same type. Im
guessing youre here to convince one of my girls to fuse with the boy?
At one the fallen angle that stood next to Claus stepped forward as she said, In that case, Ill
join with him. Satin smirked, as an icy smile stretched across her face. By all means, Niadai, said
Satin as she thought, This is going to turn out better than Ive thought. Ill even let you three and
Niadai stay at my palace to conduct the required ritual, and even treat you three to a banquette as my
honored guests. After all, is very rare that I have guests visiting my domain, said Satin as she turned
around and left as she said to the three, Ill be expecting you three in an hour; so be prompt.
--------------------
Shell be fine. Just needs some rest, said Niadai as tucked Kielko into a bed. Zargare looked
out the window. Entering the room, Claus asked Zargare, -Was that supposed to happen? In a
word, answered Zargare. Whats a mimesis, Zargare? asked Claus. Good question, answered
Zargare. I dont really know myself, Claus. I am indeed a mimesis, but I cant explain the exact reason
why I have the ability to change form like when I first showed you, but I do know it has to do with the
fact that we mimesis have an angle as our core, said Zargare as she looked Claus in the eyes. -I have a
feeling there is more you want to tell me, said Claus as he walked up to Zargare. Zargare nodded, as
she said to Claus, When you become a mimesis, Claus, you will never age. Like me, your default form
will be the same as what you have now. Your maturation will stop altogether, and you will stay in the
same likeness as you were on day one. I just hope you will be ready when the time comes. Claus
nodded. Turning around to leave the room, Zargare said, I am going to check on Kielko.
---------------------------
Kielko awoke. Sitting up in the bed Kielko looked around, and then looked down at her hands
and blushed. Youre sure a shy thing, said Zargare as she entered the room and looked at Kielko.
Zargare could see that she had gave this Kielko a start. Sitting down on the bed, Zargare said, It must
be really hard for you now being the very creature youre afraid of. Kielko blushed as she looked
down at the blankets. It was then that Zargare asked, Do you love Claus. He is human you know.
Kielko looked at Zargare and nodded as she replied, Yes. He was the one who took me in when I was
small. The females did something to me and I found I could speak with him. I have known him for
most of my life, and I cant think of life without him. He means that much to me. I love him too,
said Zargare leaning back. Who would have ever thought someone as old as I falling in love at first
sight. And with a human no less. Are you human? asked Kielko. Nah. But I was at one point. All of
those eight-thousand-three-hundred and eighty-seven years ago.
Humans are such strange and interesting creatures, Kielko. Weak and take twenty-five years to
fully mature, cant fly on their own, and would shatter their bodies if they tried. NO claws or fangs, and
cant even reach half of your flying speed when they run; but the one thing they do do well is think--
some better than others. And still, Ive seen them do both great thing as well as do things beyond
questionable. And yet, Ive fallen in love with one of them. So dont ever lose sight of how you feel,
Kielko, and dont let him ever get away from you. And after saying this, Zargare got to her feet and
left the room. -So you say you love me, Zargare, said Claus who was standing out side. Zargare set
her hands on her hips as she gave Claus a dirty look. Claus only shrugged as he turned around and
entered the bedroom. Think you have a chance to get busy with that boy? asked Niadai as she looked
at Zargare who grew bright red as she blushed and said, What! Why would I even be thinking about
that at all?! Niadai only giggled as she walked up to Zargare and laid her finger on Zargares chin as
Niadai said to her, I doubt the boy will be allowed to leave this realm. Theres only one of you, and
millions of us. And that boy is such a cutie, that I feel Satin herself might very well make him hers.
----------------------
On top of things as usual, Niadai, said Satin as she watched the whole scene through her
mirror as she sat on her throne and smiled. Satin was around five feet tall and petite as well as very
attractive and looking to be in her mid teens. She had crimson hair, purple eyes, a cute jaw-line, And
with breasts that were in the D-cup size range. And a mimesis would be an excellent prize indeed--
both as my tool and spouse, she then said out loud, And I can make that boys every fantasy in this
form come true. My lady, exclaimed one of the servants as she entered the throne room, Its almost
time. Getting to her feet, Satin grinned as she said, I see. Take them to my dinning hall when they
arrive. Ill meet them there. As the servant curtsied and then left the room, Satin thought, Soon itll be
time to collect my greatest prize yet to add to my collection. Going to her dressing room, Satin chose
her most seductive outfit she had in her collection, and dressed into it.
----------------------
Claus wowed as he, Zargare, Kielko, and Niadai came into sight of the palace. Zargare made no
attempt to hide her uneasiness at how thing were going thus far. -Why is it everyone here are girls?
asked Claus as he looked at Zargare. All angles are guys, replied Zargare, When an angle falls, his
gender changes to female. It was a measure Jehovah took to prevent them seducing women like they
did when a great number of them rebelled. Not only that, the rebels lost the ability to take on human
form when myself and six other mimesis caused the flood before we left. -What flood? asked Claus.
Laughing, Zargare said, Its nothing really. Claus only shrugged. Entering the grounds, the four
looked around. Have you ever been here before? Claus asked Niadai this only to see her shake her
head. This is my first time ever setting foot here, Niadai replied. Looking at Niadai, Claus asked,
-How did you become a-- A demon? Niadai interrupted, Satin tricked me as she did with most of
us, and I was turned female and cast out with the others when the war ended. Zargare jumped in as she
gave both Claus and Niadai a dirty look as she said to the both of them, What were talking about is a
very long time ago. That was then, this is now.
-I was talking to her, said Claus, -and frankly shes much hotter than you are, Zargare.
Zargare stiffened her lips as raised her hand into the air and balled it into a fist as she said, And
frankly you really piss me off. It was then that two girls dressed in maids uniforms greeted them as
one of them said, Our lady has sent us to greet you. We ask that you come with us. The two servants,
seeing the rags Claus wore that he called clothing, the two of them walked up to him and said, Would
you come with us please, sir. Claus blushed as he nodded. As he walked away with the two girls,
Claus heard Zargare say to the two maids, You cant just walk off with him like that. One of the
maids turned to Zargare and replied, Your concern is noted, however, his current attire is unsuitable
for the forthcoming banquette with our lady. He must first be bathed and then given proper clothing.
and to this Zargare nodded as she said, I see your point. and it was then that the two girls led Claus to
the bath house.
--------------------
Claus spouted forth a stream of complaints as the two girl stripped away his clothing and then
pushed him into the water. Regaining his balance, Claus looked around, and then saw the two girls had
changed into bathing suits, and then climbed into the water with Claus. As they neared Claus, they saw
him blush. Seeing this, one of them said to him, Do not be afraid. Our mistress commanded that only
she is the one youll be with. Before Claus could speak, one of them grabbed his hand and led him to
the center of the pool. It was then Claus said to them, -Its just Its the first time something like this
has happened to me. It was at this moment one of the two gently lowered Claus head into the water,
and then began to comb her fingers through Claus scalp. It felt really good. The two maids could see
the dirt being washed out as one of them began to use soap. When Claus hair was clean, Claus heard
one of them say to him, You have beautiful hair. Why is it this white color? -I have been a solder for
most of my life. The years of fighting that I did turned it white. I don't feel like taking about it.
By the way, said one of the girls, Why do you speak through that Collar around your neck?
-I spoke through this collar as long as I could remember. It's just I never found the need to speak
using my mouth like the humans do. Anyways, the collar is fused to my neck and connected to a
computer installed in my brain; so why not use it since it's a part of my body? The two girls
looked at each other and giggled. Sitting up, Claus asked, Whats so funny? Hugging Claus from
behind, one of the two girl girls said to him, Its just youre so very cute, we can See why Lucifa likes
you. It makes me so jealous! The other girl voiced her agreement as she leered at Claus as he sat in the
water. It was then that the girl closest to Claus said, And now its time to clean that body of yours.
Claus blushed as the two girls began to grope him with their hands while applying soap to his skin.
Moments later, the two maids led Claus out of the pool as they took him to the dressing room next
door.
----------------------
How should we dress him? said one of the maids. I know, answered the other, I have just
the thing. The other maid left the room for a moment, and then returned with an outfit hanging from
her arm. Dress him in this, she said to the other. Nodding, the other grinned as she grabbed Claus as
the other walked up to him, and then began to dress Claus. Moments later, the two maids nodded as
they both said, Its perfect! The outfit Claus saw himself wearing in the mirror consisted of a pair of
slacks, a button-up shirt, and a robe-like tuxedo--all were black except the shirt, which was a white
color. He likes it! exclaimed the two maids who then both at the same time kissed Claus on the
cheeks. Now would you come with us? the two maids asked Claus who nodded as he followed them.
Who is this Lucifa? asked Claus. The two maids looked at each other, giggled, and then said in reply,
She is our queen and the ruler of this realm as well as the realm you call Earth. And shes so pretty
too! Youll like her for sure! exclaimed the other. A few moments later, Claus and the two maids
arrived at the banquette hall as they said to Claus, And weve arrived.
----------------------
Zargare felt an extreme sense of unease as she, Kielko, and Niadai sat in their chairs and looked
at each other as they waited for Claus to arrive. How long are they going to make us sit here?
demanded Kielko, Are they going to feed us or not. I would not trust most of the foods they will be
serving here, Kielko, answered Zargare, The foods the demons here eat, about over half arent
something creatures like Humans or you ravens can eat and live long enough afterward to write a
review about it. Kielko looked disappointed. I would not have to worry about that, said Lucifa as
she entered the room and then sat down at the head of the table as she smirked and then said to the
three, I had my cooks see to it to modify the food to make them safe for you three to eat.
Lucifa, seeing Claus enter the room with the two maids, smiled as she said to her maids, Seat
him next to me. The two maids nodded as they led Claus to a seat that was the nearest and at the right-
hand side of Lucifa as they said to him, Our mistress asks that you sit here. Claus nodded as he sat
down in that very seat. Seeing Lucifa for the first time, Claus could hardly believe it. She was a very
sexy girl. Leaning in closer to Claus, Lucifa said to him, Hello there, Claus Sonredna. Its a great
pleasure to finally meet you at last. -How do you know my name? asked Claus. Lucifa grinned as she
replied, Now that is a secret.
Lucifa could see not only would this boy make a good mimesis as well as a good husband. She
now wanted to have him even more. It was at this moment that a group of ten maids entered the room
pushing carts along. The food is here, exclaimed Lucifa as she jumped up and down in her chair.
This girl is queen of this place? thought Claus as Lucifa smiled at him. Youre really going to like
these, said Lucifa as the ten maids set the table. Give the boy as much food as possible, Lucifa said
to her maids.
And the maids did just that as they filled up Claus plate full of food. It all looked delicious!
Claus wasted no time digging in to the food. They were all served food, even Zargare who saw most of
the maids giving her the evil eye. Even after this long,' thought Zargare. Deciding to cut to the case
with Lucifa, Zargare said to her, When do we begin the conversion ritual, Lucifa. That is why I came
here with the boy and the raven. When the time comes. This is a big day Claus, and the last day hell
be human. He deserves a good meal before then. And Im just wondering when well all see you
show your true colors, scoffed Zargare.
Lucifa just laughed at Zargare. I dont know what youre talking about, Zargare. I hope you
have no hard feelings from long ago from that war we fought in. You won. You should be happy about
that--oh wait. You were out in space on a ship all this time while I was busy here running things.
Zargare rolled her eyes as she spat, Dont make me laugh. Running things? Well, you sure let the
place turn to shit. Lucifa rose to her feet. Claus could see rage dancing in her eyes. Forcing her
emotions to change, Lucifa sat back down in her seat as she said, Now now. I think its now time we
begin the ritual. Agreed, said Zargare as she rose from her seat.
------------------------------------
Chapter 6.
Seeing everyone but him rise from their seats, Claus turned to Lucifa and asked her, -What are
we about to do? Smiling, Lucifa said in reply, Its time for your big moment. Lucifa could see in
Claus eyes that he had no idea what she meant, but seemed to look forward to it. It was then Lucifa
decided to tell Claus as she said to him, Were about to begin the ritual to convert you into a powerful
mimesis just like Zargare over there. When the ritual is complete, youll have the power to transform
into anything you want to, Claus. To this, Claus was ecstatic. Im glad you feel that way about it,
said Lucifa with a smile. Everything was her way so far, and they could not go fast enough for her. It
was then Lucifa heard Claus ask her, -So when do we begin? Very soon, Lucifa answered as she
grabbed Claus hand. It was at this moment that Lucifa began to lead Claus to the a place suitable for
the ritual to take place.
-----------------
-So this is the place? Claus thought out loud. Yep, said Lucifa with excitement. It was then
Zargare walked over to Claus and grabbed his hand as she led him to the center of the room. Setting
Claus at the rooms center, Zargare then led Niadai as well to the rooms center as she set her next to
Claus. You two face each other and hold each others hands. Claus and Niadai did just that as they
looked into each others eyes. It was then that Zargare set her hands onto their back as she said, I am
beginning the ritual. This will hurt. It was then that Zargare began to shine brightly with light as she
began to push the two together.
Claus cried out as he and Niadai morphed together and fused into one. As for Claus
appearance, both his eye and hair color began to change. Claus eyes changed color into a copper color,
as his hair turned medium purple in color. A moment after that, Zargare stepped away from Claus as
she said, It is done. Youre a mimesis now, except for one more detail. It was at this moment that
Zargare kissed Claus as she did this to give Claus a supply of nanobots to use. It was also by this kiss
that Zargare interfaced with Claus in brain computer an installed a nanobot control program. Smiling,
Zargare said, All done. Youre now fully a mimesis, Claus.
Stepping back from Claus, Zargare saw Claus purple hair and began to laugh. -Whats so
funny? asked Claus. Its your hair, answered Zargare. At once Claus grew anxious as he looked
around the room for a mirror. Finding one, Claus saw his now purple hair and cried out the word, no
-How can this be? Claus whimpered. Grabbing Zargare by the shoulders, Claus demanded, -Why is
my hair purple? Setting her finger on her chin, Zargare thought this over and then said, I think it has
to do with the fact of the class of spirit creature you were fused with. I got it! The reason why your hair
changed color is purple is the fusion of blue and red. So I think thats normal for a dark mimesis like
yourself.
-Then what are you then? asked Claus. Well...Im a light mimesis. I was fused with a angle by those
Atlantian scientists, replied Zargare with a giggle. Lucifa thought this to be interesting to her, but it
was then she decided to strike as she nodded to her guards. And at once twenty guards rushed into the
rooms. Seize them, Lucifa ordered calmly, and the guards obeyed as they grabbed hold of Claus,
Zargare, and Kielko. Zargare gritted her teeth as she said, I knew this would happen! Why are you
doing this?
Why? said Lucifa as she strode towards Zargare. To marry the boy of course. Did you really
think I would simply allow a powerful enemy like you, or anyone to blunder into my realm without
gain, Zargare? Youre still just the naive brat I fought over 14,000 years ago. I am so sorry, Zargare, but
I think Im going to kill you now. Its something I should have done during the war when I had the
chance. Seeing the fire in Zargares eyes, Lucifa smiled as she said, Awe. Dont take it personally,
but youre a threat and in my way. Goodbye, Zargare.
Lucifa grabbed Zargares face as her hand began to shine brightly with a red light. Zargare
closed her eyes. This is it. Im really going to die! she thought. It was at this moment the light
stopped when Lucifa heard Claus yell, -You let her go! Ill fight you! Lucifa withdrew her hand as she
glared at Claus and then smiled. Fight me? Lucifa said in a mockery of Claus voice. The guards
were laughing. I like that, Lucifa said. Walking up to Claus, Lucifa leered at him. Alright, she said,
youre to fight my top ten commanders in combat, and then face me after youve defeated all ten. Ill
even give you time to prepare. Five years. And if you lose, you agree to marry me the very day you
lose. -And if I win? asked Claus. Then you, Zargare, and your bird are free to live out your lives free
of me and my intervention. But I will be keeping your bird as collateral, Claus, so you may know that
she will be the first die, then your comrades if you decide to bail.
-I agree, answered Claus. And it was at this moment Lucifa deep kissed Claus. And as they
kissed, five black bands that were all numbered from one to five appeared on Claus forearm. Your
agreement is now sealed. Each one of those five seals will vanish after a year. When all five seals
vanish, you will be brought to this realm to begin your match. Of which you have agreed to marry me
upon your loss of. Claus only nodded. You and Zargare are now free to leave this realm, said Lucifa
as she left the room and waved for her guards to release Zargare, and to take Kielko with them. Waiting
for Lucifa and her guards to leave the room, Zargare walked up to Claus, and slapped him across the
face. That was for nearly getting me killed. Deep kissing Claus, Zargare said to him, And that was
for saving me. Lets get out of here. It was at this moment Zargare kissed Claus again, and the two of
them vanished.
-----------------------
Chapter 7.
Shirley awoke. Something smelled delicious. Getting dressed, she walked downstairs, and then
saw Zargare in the kitchen cooking breakfast. Oh. Its you. Is that bacon? Yep, Zargare replied with
a smile as she looked at Shirley. Seeing the frying pan Zargare was using, Shirley said, Wow. I did not
know you carried cookware with you. As you can see, we hardly have any to speak of here. Thats a
nice frying by the way, where did you get it? I just had it with me, replied Zargare. Not telling
Shirley that she had forced Claus to morph into the very frying pan she was using; and was cooking
Claus bacon he had in his stash of food.
I didnt know you could cook, Zargare, said Shirley as she leered at the food Zargare was
preparing. Claus only whimpered at Zargare as he felt the bacon frying on him. Quit your belly-
aching. Consider this tuition for your training. Now fry the bacon like a good little frying pan, growled
Zargare. Who are you talking to, Zargare? Smiling, Zargare replied, To Claus. With a look of
puzzlement on her face, Shirley looked around and then said, Well, I dont see him around. Where is
he by the way? -Im right here, said the frying pan as an image of Claus face appeared in the luster
of the metal.
Leaning towards the pan, Shirley said to Claus, Whoa! What happened to you? -Zargare
tricked me into becoming this stupid form! Sometimes I wish I had decided not to become a
shape-shifter like Zargare. Wow, exclaimed Shirley, I did not know you were a shape-shifter,
Zargare. What is it like? Empowering. I can transform into anyone, tool, weapon, or vehicle I want
replied Zargare who smiled as she saw Shirley point to Claus and asked, What about him? Zargare
just laughed as she said in reply, A frying pan is the only thing he knows how to morph into. He is
pretty useless right now compared to me. Which is why Ive taken him in as my student to bring him
up to snuff.
Leaning back at Claus, Shirley said to him, You do make a cute frying pan, as she waved and
left the kitchen. She really likes you, said Zargare. The image of Claus blushed as Zargare then said
to him, Im training you so you may see them live out a life of peace, Claus. A few moments later,
Zargare and finished preparing breakfast and got to work setting the table. Being allowed to morph
back into human form, Claus walked to the table and picked up a plate to take to his room, but saw
Zargare wagging her finger as she said, From now on, theres going to be no more of locking yourself
away in your room while you eat. It will be Showtime again for you when we are our done eating.
Claus set the plate down at the table, and then sat down in a seat that was directly next to the
plate. And youll wait for everyone to sit down before you begin, Claus. Zargare could see Claus was
annoyed by this. A few moments later, Shirley and the others showed at the dinning room. Noticing
Claus purple hair, Shirley and the others began to laugh at Claus. What the heck did you do with your
hair, Claus? another thing they noticed was the fact that Claus no longer wore eyeglasses. It was then
that Shirley decided to sit next to Claus.
Thats a first, said Zack as he looked at Claus. To see you joining us for a meal for once,
Claus. Claus said nothing to Zack. Soon Zargare sat down at the table and took a bite of her food.
Zargare found shed done a good job on making the bacon as well as frying some of the bread in the
leftover bacon grease. Waiting for Claus to finish his meal, Zargare said to him, Its show time, Claus.
Claus reluctantly rose from his seat and walked to Zargare. When Claus stood next to Zargare, Zargare
smiled at the others and said to them, Today is the day Claus and I are going to transform this shack
into a real home to live in.
Shirleys face at once lit up. But before I do, we are going to need all of you to get outside as
we do our work when the eight of you are done eating, said Zargare. And when the eight had finished
their meal, Zargare said, Its show-time folks. Its time to step outside to watch the show. And they
did this. Claus and Zargare were the last to exit. Grabbing Claus hand, Claus felt himself become light
in weight as Zargare did a hop, and both she and Claus were airborne as the flew into the air, and then
landed on the roof of the house. It was at this moment that everyone, to their shear disbelief, saw Claus
transform and morph into an umbrella.
It was at this moment that Zargare floated a full meter vertical from the rooftop as she pointed
the umbrella straight towards the sky. It was then that Zargare opened the umbrella, and its dome began
to expand until it was a dome that covered the entire building. The dome then began to shine brightly as
Zargare completely restored the building, added new appliances that had been missing completely, as
well as add several new rooms and fully stocked the kitchen with cookware and food. Deciding that
this was enough, Zargare and Claus materialized in the living room as the dome that surrounded the
house vanished completely. -I hardly recognize the place, said Claus as he looked around. I did a
total redesign of the house, said Zargare as she then asked, Do you like it? Nodding, Claus said,
-You really did a good job on this place. You mean we both did, injected Zargare as she embraced
Claus and then looked into his eyes and said, Lets get the others. Nodding, Claus and Zargare began
to walk towards the front door.
---------
When the dome had vanished, Shirley and the others were all agape at what they all saw before
them. Seeing the front door open, the eight of them saw both Claus and Zargare step through together.
You can come inside now, we are done, said Zargare as she looked at Shirley. Joining Shirley and the
other seven, Claus and Zargare entered with them. And as they stepped through the door, Claus could
hear them wowing as they looked around at their new home. Turning to Zargare Shirley asked her,
Just what do you do?
I fixed the place, replied Zargare, After all, I think I am going to live here for a while if you
dont mind a bit, Shirley. To this Shirley nodded as she smiled and said, Sure. Stay as long as you
like. But I will be staying with Claus in his room, said Zargare. May I ask why you dont just ask
for your own room. I did tell you how Claus is most of the time, asked Shirley. Its nothing really. Its
just I really like Claus, and someone has to make sure he does not misuse his new power. I am his
teacher after all. Shrugging, Shirley said to Zargare, Well, I guess I cant stop you if you insist.
Turning to Claus, Zargare grabbed his hand, and then broke into a run as she led him up the stairs.
Time to go see our room! Getting to the door to that room, Zargare asked Claus, What do you
think? Letting go of his hand, Zargare allowed Claus to walk around the room as he looked around at
the new surroundings. The room had everything. -Why is there only one bed? asked Claus as he
looked at Zargare. Its for the two of us to sleep in. Claus nearly fell over upon hearing these words.
-Youve got to be kidding me, Claus said at last.
Is there a problem with us sleeping together? Zargare asked as she leaned towards Claus and
made him blush. -Well, said Claus, -Youre a kid. Zargare gave Claus a dirty look as she began to
shake with anger. What did you say?! demanded Zargare. It was at this moment Zargare began to
shine with light as she grew in size until she was the same size and build as Claus. I am in the adult
version of my original form. Happy now? said Zargare. It was then that Zargare kissed Claus as she
knocked him off balance and the two fell to the floor. Looking into each others eyes, both Zargare and
Claus blushed as they both averted their gaze. Lets take a walk, said Zargare getting up from Claus.
-------------------------
It was the beginning of summer as Claus and Zargare walked. Zargare was still in her teenage
form was she walked along side Claus who still wore the suit Lucifa had given him. Claus did look
very good in the suit. I think this is what humans call a date, thought Zargare as she glanced at Claus.
Entering a shopping district, Zargare smiled at Claus as she said to him, This is the first time I went on
a date. -The cops just seen us, said Claus, Theyre coming towards us. There was sounding of the
squad cars klaxon as it came to a stop right next to Claus and Zargare.
Getting out of the car, two police officers approached Claus and Zargare as they asked, Would
you mind turning around? There are a few questions we need to ask you. Lets hear, said Zargare as
she looked at the two cops as they stood there watching them. Can we see your IDs please. Nodding,
Zargare reached into her jacket, pulled out her wallet, and Handed them her Soviet Would Federation
state police badge. Seeing this, both cops at once grew pale as the laid their eyes on the badge that had
the name Zargare Kielkino. Handing the badge back to Zargare who smiled at them. Turning their gaze
onto Claus, the two cops asked Zargare, And what about him. Hes trouble. Although he's helped us a
few times, He's also aided criminals as well. This man belongs to my government. Hes their lost
product Ive been sent to collect and return to their custody forthwith, answered Zargare as she glared
at them with her hands on her hips. The two cops decided to leave as they said, Sorry for bothering
you two. Have a nice day.
Waiting for the cops to leave, Claus turned to Zargare as he asked her, -Youre with the Soviet
World Federation? I work for them, but Im hardly with them. And yes I Know all about the
program you and your comrades at the house were part of. You really were the favorite of the scientists
that worked in that program. Those women loved you, Claus. She was right. Claus loved the time he
had spent under their care. He had been with them since he was a toddler of age three, and until he was
twelve. Kielko was given to him just a year after he came to live under their care. And Esperanto
became Claus first language, but he had never used his voice to speak it. He had only learned English
recently with the aid of his In-Brain-Computer. -I want to go back to them, said Claus. And that was
the main reason the others disliked Claus. Nodding, Zargare said to Claus, You will but not yet. Only
when youve mastered your abilities as a mimesis, will I return home with you at my side. Fair
enough, said Claus. Looking at Claus, Zargare asked, <would you like to go to school, Claus?>
<Yes.>
-------------------------------
Chapter 8.
Milgare had heard all about What Zargare had done in Lucifas realm when he had returned
from Jehovahs realm with his newly made mimesis. Milgare was surprised on how easily Jehovah had
agreed to allow Milgare to have one of his angles to fuse with the girl he had brought with him. And
now, Milgare was back with his mimesis he had named Irenica. And Irenica was quite a looker too with
a body that would not quit. It was at this moment that Milgare would go to Alaska too to confront his
rival and her mimesis. Being male, Milgare found that the women of the Soviet World Federation
hardly ever gave him the time of day. Most all of them blatantly ignored him except when it was
necessary to speak with him. At most times, the women regarded Milgare the same as the contents of
ones rubbish bin. And Milgare hated every bit of it.
Seeing that Milgare was troubled, Irenica asked him, <Are you well, master?> <Its
nothing,> replied Milgare. <Nothing that concerns you, Irenica.> Irenica just smiled at Milgare who
saw this and thought to himself, I think Im going to enjoy having Irenica at my side. As the two
walked down the hallway, Milgare could see the women giving him dirty looks and glaring at him as he
walked along with Irenica. Reaching the base commanders office, Milgare and Irenica entered.
Stepping inside the office, Milgare got his attention as the officer said to him, <So I see youve
completed your assignment, Milgare, as I can see your mimesis is with you.>
<Indeed, sir,> said Milgare, <Although I request permission to assist Zargare in Alaska
where she presently is. For I have receive unconfirmed reports that she has acquired her mimesis as
ordered, but has not returned to base upon acquisition of her mimesis as youve ordered, sir.> The
commander raised an eyebrow as he considered what Milgare had just told him as he then said to
Milgare, It was then that the
commanders monitor jumped in as she looked at Milgare and said to him, <Im afraid I cannot
authorize such an action.>
<Ill just send the request in myself then,> Said Milgare as he answered the bitch who just
glared at Milgare with contempt on her face. It was then that Milgare emailed the request to the high
command. Milgare had worded the message to make it seem as if Zargare was planning to subvert the
Soviet Government. A big fat lie in other words. A moment later, Milgare got the go ahead. Smiling at
the monitor, Milgare said to her, <My trip has just been authorized.> The monitor had disbelief
dancing in her eyes as she watched Milgare leave the room with his mimesis. <Isnt it amusing how
many times Ive seen him outfox you, Mildred,> said the commander as he smirked.
----------------------
Zargare and Claus returned to the house. Their date had gone well. Stepping through the front
door, they were met by Shirley who had her hands on her hips as she asked, And where were you two
just now? I did see you two leave in a hurry a few hours ago. On a date, replied Zargare. Shirley
blushed as she said, Sorry for asking, as she blushed and left the room. Running up to her room,
Shirley buried her head in her pillow as she thought, Why am I even thinking about him? Shirley was
thinking about Claus. And for some reason, she could not stop.
----------
Zargare sat down with Claus on his bed. <Tomorrow we leave the country,> said Zargare.
Claus was surprised at this. -Why tomorrow? asked Claus. <Given how youre regarded here, Claus,
and the countrys recent history with my employer, I can hardly expect that any dean worth his salt
would allow us to enroll in any high school here,> replied Zargare as she got to her feet as walked to
the center of the room. Claus got to his feet as well and too walked to the center of the room until he
stood by Zargare. <Im about to teach you another lesson about an ability that is critical for you to
master,> said Zargare as she looked up at Claus, <As youve probably figured out by now, a mimesis
has a multidimensional body which is the reason we are able to change form in the way we do. This
also gives us the ability to create subspace room in which to store our inventory of weapons, tools,
items, and other things including vehicles of any size and weight. I know because I have stored away a
star battleship in one of my said rooms,> said Zargare with a grin.
-A star-ship, said Claus. Shrugging, Zargare said, <In a manner of speaking. But before I
show you her, I am going to teach you how to make your first room. Now walk to the door of this room
and set your hand on it.> Claus walked over to the door and did this. It was at this moment that Claus
heard Zargare say to him, <Picture an empty room beyond the door and open the door.> Claus
opened the door, and stepped through into an empty room that was completely white. Seeing this,
Zargare smile as she then said, <Very good,> as she entered, and then said, <Now lets begin
moving your things into here. Before you name you room so you may call upon its use later because
you will need it later.> Smiling, Claus said out loud, -I Think Ill name this room: first. The room
shined and then returned to normal.
Leaving the room, Claus asked Zargare as he closed the door, <How do I send the room back
into subspace?> <Just set your hand on the entrance of your room and say the word: go And the
door will one more become what it was before. To summon the room you want to enter, you say the
name of the room, and then you say the word come.> Nodding, Claus set his hand on the door, and
said the word: go. Opening the door, Claus saw it was once more the entrance to the hallway. It was
then that Zargare decided to tell Shirley about Claus and herself leaving the country for the United
States to begin Claus high school career.
-----------------
Zargare was surprised at how well Shirley took the news of their leave of the country. When
do you two leave? asked Shirley with worry on her face. First thing Tomorrow morning, replied
Zargare. Where will you two be going? asked Shirley. To this Zargare said in reply, We will be both
going to the United States So Claus can begin high School as part of his training. Shirley then hugged
Claus as she said to him, I now this is early to be saying this, but you be careful. If nothing else, youll
have a warm bed waiting for you. Blushing, Claus said, Thank you. I will miss you. Me too,
answered Shirley.
-------------------
Milgare received his orders as he and Irenica walked to the shuttle bus as Mildred caught up
with them and Handed Milgare the slip of paper. <Your orders,> Mildred said to Milgare as she
stiffened her lip. Looking at the slip, Milgare saw it read: By any means, the mimesis Zargare and her
accompanying mimesis are to be placed under arrest. You are authorized to use any means you deem
necessary bring about their arrest. Further more, you are authorize up to destroy the two mimesis if
any point they resist their arrest, or you have reason to believe that they have defected.
<They actually believed it,> said Milgare as he read the slip. <Dont you even care about
what youre being sent to do?> said Mildred. Milgare just laughed. <Since when have you or any of
the women of this country have even cared about the things I ever did?> asked Milgare as he glared at
Mildred and then said to her, <You cant really stop me, Mildred. Im going there to execute Zargare,
Mildred. Or maybe not. But I will bring back Zargare; as I want all of you bitches to see your precious
little idol shamed at her court marshal that will happen upon our return.>
Grabbing Irenica, Milgare caused her to morph into a trench coat as he boarded the shuttle bus.
-Who is Zargare? Irenica asked as rested her chin in her hands on Milgares heads up display. -Just an
old rival of mine, Milgare replied electronically. It was at this moment Milgare added a database of
weapon designs to Irenicas own database. There was a grin on Irenicas face as she looked over the
new things she was now able to morph into. -thank you, Irenica said to Milgare. -will I get to kill,
master? Smiling, Milgare said to Irenica, -Yes. We both will. And a lot of.
--------------------------
Tomorrow came as both Claus and Zargare awoke. Zargare had spend the evening before doing
more training with Claus on more key skills the use of his powers. Both Claus and Zargare slept naked.
As Claus awoke, his body began to shine as clothing morphed around his body until he was dressed.
Zargare did the same. Walking over to the room that was empty, Claus laid his hand onto the door and
said, -first. Turning to Zargare, Claus said to her, <Time to move my bed into here, Zargare.>
Zargare nodded as she pushed the bed towards the open door. Pushing the bed through the door, Claus
positioned the bed until it was where he wanted it to be. Closing the door to the room, Claus set his
hand onto the door, and said, <go.>
<We should now leave,> said Zargare as she walked towards the door and opened it. Stepping
through the door, Zargare entered the hallway as Claus followed behind her. Heading downstairs, the
were met by Shirley who said to them, Leaving so soon? Zargare nodded as she said in reply, Yes.
And Ive enjoyed my time here. Claus only nodded at Shirley who walked over to him an hugged as
she kissed Claus on the cheek and said to him, And you take very good care of yourself, Claus. I will
miss you, and I hope I get to see you soon.
---------------------
Claus and Zargare began to leave Anchorage as the walked towards the port of town. <We
cant go back for quite a while,> said Zargare. Claus only nodded. The last few days had turned his
world onto its head. He did not know what to think anymore. -Where are we going? asked Claus.
<To the port where were going to catch the next ship heading to America,> answered Zargare,
<Why? Is there a problem?> Shaking his head, Claus said, -Its just that this is all happening so
fast. An hour later, both Zargare and Claus walked into the port of Anchorage.
-----------------------
Chapter 9.
May I ask the reason for your visit? Im quite sure a member of the Soviet World Federation
state police has no business here in our country, said the head of the Anchorage Alaska Police. Milgare
just looked at this human. Frankly, he was glad to be in a setting where it was mostly men. Irenica
stood by his side as her eyes scanned the room. The head of the police looked at Milgare as he heard
him say, I would like to tell you the details, but it would make my bosses very upset if I did. But I can
tell you that I am here to investigate rumors that my bosses would liked confirmed.
What I would like to know is why they sent two kids? You hardly look like would I expected,
the police head said. Milgare decided to now show this man his badge. Doing so, the man grew stiff.
There was good reason for his reaction. Everyone knew the things Zargare and himself did. Stories of
their hunt for the bulk of the male population Stalin sent them on to reduce the total population to the
ratio mandated by their decision of men composing no more than five percent of the total population.
And a lot of word got out about the mass killing and collecting both he and Zargare did from 1945-
1950.
And when all that was completed, Stalin himself congratulated them both and also said to them,
you two just gone through a tough task, but I am so proud that no matter hard your job gotten, you did
your best. It was really hard, but I am glad that the three of us, doing what we have done, have all
remained upstanding members of the soviet state. Milgare himself had killed over seventy-five
million, Zargare eighty million, and Stalin sixty million by the use of his troops. Remembering this,
Milgare smiled. But this quickly went away when he remembered how things after that led up to how
they were presently. Stepping towards the desk, Milgare handed the head of police a picture of Zargare
as he said to him, I need to know if any of your men have seen this girl in your city. the man
scratched his head as he said in reply, I dont think I have. Let me look through the recent reports that
were filed. As Milgare watched the man work, he heard Irenica ask him, <Do we really have to be
here> <You did read the orders,> replied Milgare. Blushing, Irenica said, 
To this Milgare said, <Were doing this because I want to, and also because I forced their hand
with my false report. Its just I never expected them to react by ordering us after Zargare and to kill her
if she resists.> <But you killed lots of people, Master,> said Irenica. <And what if I told you that
most of them are still alive? I did not really kill any of those men during those five years, Irenica. All
are sleeping in one of my subspace pockets where they will never age or ever be aware of anything at
all. So they are deadin a manner of speaking. And at any time, Irenica, I can call any one of them, or
number out if it becomes necessary for me to put them to use as my puppets. A trump card if you will.
My personal army of several ten million.>
It was at this moment that the man had finished his search through the list of reports done by his
men and told Milgare what he found when he said to him, <Ive just found a report that involves two
individuals one female cyan hair, and another with plum hair that the two officer have identified as a
boy we come to know as Claus. You wont believe how long hes made a joke of us.> <A dark
mimesis,> said Milgare as he walked over to the desk and asked the man, Where does Claus live? Its
very important that I know. Writing down an address, the man handed it to Milgare. Do go easy on
them. Theyre just kids, sighed the man.
Those kids have a weapon of mass destruction in their possession of the same type as myself.
You cant expect me to go easy on them. After all, theyre criminal, said Milgare as he left the room.
Irenica followed as the two left the building. Irenica was still pretty much newly made and as such, did
not understand much of what Milgare spoke about. In fact, Irenica was still two days old when she
became a mimesis. Milgare was the only one she really knew. It was then that Irenica turned to Milgare
and asked him, <Are we going to where he told you?>
<We are now,> answered Milgare as he hugged Irenica from behind, and morphed into a vest.
-I will give you directions as you walk. The place indicated is a few miles away, but should be no
problem reaching given your health. Irenica nodded. Milgare could feel the entirety of Irenicas
body. She was indeed healthy and of childbearing age. It was indeed a shame that woman of the soviet
world federation did not reproduce in that way. They really had no need. That was one of the things
Milgare hated about them. Well it did sound good at the time when he, Zargare, and Stalin all agreed
that a society controlled by females would forestall any future world war. And it worked beyond all
expectation.
The only trouble was that Milgare was the only male there without a monitor. The only
exceptions apart from him were the numbers He did not need a monitor, and never would. Of course
this did not sit well with almost all of the girls there who believed that all men should be controlled in
every aspect of their lives. And Milgare was the one male there that was never under any of their forced
control. He was simply far too powerful to be controlledespecially given the fact of seventy-five
million men being kept in one of his subspace pockets. In a way, keeping them was Milgares job as the
Soviets were always asking for a number of his men each year.
The only reason Milgare allowed that society to existed was because he was honoring his
agreement he made with Zargare, and also because he enjoyed the power he had there. It was at this
moment that Milgares attention was turned back to Irenica when she said, <Were here.> It was then
that a voice collar morphed and took shape around Irenicas neck. The house from what Milgare could
see was in very good shape. And it was clear that she was there at some point recently. It was then that
Milgare told Irenica to walk to the front door. Getting there, Irenica knocked at the door and waited.
Milgare could hear footsteps heading towards the front door. A few moments later, the door
opened as a beautiful girl in her mid teens appeared at the entrance-way. Can I help you? Shirley
asked as she saw Irenica with her cyan hair. There was surprise on Shirleys face. It was then that a
handgun morphed out of thin air into Irenicas hand as she then pointed this at Shirleys head with the
sound of the gun cocking all by itself. Shirleys face at once grew pale. It was at this moment the gun
spoke to Shirley in Milgares voice as Milgare asked, -Where is Zargare?
In a frightened tone of voice, Shirley said to them, I dont know who that is? Please let me go.
-Show her the picture, Milgare told Irenica. Reaching into her pocket, Irenica pulled out the
photograph of Zargare and held it before Shirley who had a look on her face as she said, how? That
was all Milgare needed to hear as he said to Shirley through the gun, -Im not going to ask you again.
Where is the girl I showed you? I know she was here. <Shes not talking, master. Should I kill her
now? You know I want to,> said Irenica with a face devoid of emotion.
Shirley started to shake as she started to fear for her life. -You must forgive my asset and my
harsh methods, young lady, but I am under orders by my government. And I am free to use any
force I deem needed to complete my objective. I do hope you understand. I am a really good
person, but as you can see, well, my Irenica here is all too eager to soak her hands red with blood.
After all, she, myself, and Zargare are all weapons, Milgare said to Shirley who could not move.
It was at this moment Zack entered the hallway, saw Irenica at the door with a gun pointed at
Shirley, and began to rush Irenica who at once saw him. Pointing the gun at Zack, Irenica pulled the
trigger and the sound of the gunshot reverberated throughout the house and area as Zack feel to the
floor. Turning around, Shirley saw Zack laying on the floor writhing in pain as tears fell from his eyes.
Running to his aid, Shirley touched Zack and then saw his blood on her hand. It was at this moment
Shirley felt the cold of the guns muzzle press up against the base of her skull.
Shirley heard Irenica tee-heed as she said to Shirley in a sweet sounding voice, Master used a
nonlethal electric stun round on him. But for you, He says the next one will be a live round. Isnt it
great! Hes saving the best just for you! There was then that Irenica said, <What!? You mean I cant
kill her, Master?!> Irenica nodded as she then said to Shirley, Master wants to meet you in a special
place of his. And I am sending you there now! Feeling Irenicas hand touch her back, both Irenica and
Shirley were sent into subspace by Milgare.
--------------------
Shirley looked around and saw herself to be in a white void that had a round table nearby.
Looking at the table, Shirley saw a boy of about age ten sitting in a chair at the table who was looking
right at her. Walking over to the table, Shirley was still shaking as she sat down. The boy still was
looking at her. His face was inhuman and devoid of emotion. The boy was quite handsome as he
scanned Shirleys body with his eyes as he said to her, I do hope you forgive my methods I employed
earlier. Please let me go! said Shirley. Milgare started to laugh at her as said while laughing, Let
you go? So that you can warn Zargare that Im coming for her?
Shes not here, said Shirley. Milgare raised his eyebrow. Where is she? I decided to use this
method of questioning you because I find violence to be quite unnecessary for this situation. seeing
Shirley about to open her mouth to demand her release, Milgare said, And you can forget about me
releasing you. It was at this moment Shirley got up from her seat, and broke into a run. How typical,
said Milgare as a tea set appeared on the table. Pouring himself some tea into a tea cup, Milgare took a
sip as Shirley returned to the table at a running pace.
Seeing the table with Milgare sitting at it before her, Shirleys eyes widened as she said, Shit.
Picking another direction, Shirley ran again, but again returned to the table to hear Milgare say to her,
Are you done? Shirley screamed at the air as Milgare continued to sip his tea and watched her with a
face devoid of emotion. It was at this moment that Shirley feel to her knees and started to cry. Turning
her gaze at Milgare, Shirley said to him, You cant keep me here like this. Milgare said nothing, and
then smiled as he said, Oh really, with complete indifference in his voice.
Shirley jumped to her feet enraged by Milgares words. Running towards Milgare, Shirley
grabbed his shirt. Seeing this, Milgare said to her, you keep your hands off me, as Shirley was forced
to the ground by an unknown force with the sound of some of her bones cracking. Shirley cried out in
pain as she was thrown a short distance by the same unseen hand. You are going to tell me where
Zargare and this Claus is, said Milgare as he strode towards Shirley. You can avoid yourself a lot of
pain if you just tell me, Milgare added as he stood over Shirley.
You bastard, Shirley answered, you arent even human! I have not thought of it that way,
Milgare said, But you are right. Would you mind telling me where Zargare and Claus is? Getting to
her feet, Shirley spat in Milgares face as she said, As if Id tell you! You can do as you want to me,
but I will never tell you. I see, said Milgare as Shirley clutched her eyes and screamed in pain as she
dropped to her knees. Shirley had never gone through something like that. A light beyond blinding had
surrounded her that had made her scream. Their current location, said Milgare. Never! screamed
Shirley as she got to feet and tried to run from Milgare.
It was at this moment the next bout came, as Shirley felt as if her entire body was on fire as she
screamed and dropped to her knees. Milgare walked over to Shirley as she lay writhing in pain and said
to her, You really dont have to go through this, you know. Just tell where they know are, and Ill stop
forthwith. Shirley still refused to tell as Milgare sent forth the next bout of punishment. It felt as if
Shirley was drowning in boiling water. Please do tell me, Milgare asked, or the next bout will be
boiling oil. Could you please tell me where Zargare and Claus are?! I do want to discontinue.
It took three more bouts of punishment before Shirley finally said to Milgare, Theyre heading
to the United States. Milgare smiled. I thank you for your cooperation. I do apologize for those bouts
of punishment, but none of that was real. I just controlled your senses. And if you dont mind, youll be
my prisoner for a while. I do need something to force their surrender if it comes to that. I am so sorry,
Milgare said. What are you? Shirley demanded. Turning to her, Milgare replied, I am a shape
shifting weapon known as a mimesis. A relic of Atlantis as I am an Atlantian made weapon as well as a
product of their technologya sword whose wielder has long since died. I currently work for the Soviet
World federation as one of their agents. You on the other hand are still property of theirs; so I am just
making use of my employers lost assets. That should earn me a bit of respect Ive been denied by
them.
Shirley was enraged by what this boy had just told him as she yelled, And Youre just scum.
Wagging his finger, Milgare said, And what about your beloved Zargare? Oh wait. She works for the
Soviets too. At least until theyve ordered me to Arrest her and to leave me free to kill her if she resists
arrest after I gave them a false report telling of her subversive conspiracy against them involving your
Claus as her weapon. Shirley fell to her knees. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. She did not tell
you? I guess you wont miss her then, said Milgare as he left the never ending space.
---------------------
Chapter 10.
Claus and Zargare stepped off the ship shortly after it had reached port and dropped anchor.
Claus knew nothing of the United States. It really was his first time here in America. Zargare said
nothing. The only thing she had ever said to Claus when he asked he where exactly they were heading
to was, 'California.' The first thing Claus noticed about the place was how hot it was. He could hardly
stand it. -Just how hot is it here? Claus asked. <"It's 30 Celsius,"> replied Zargare. (It's fact that the
United States and England are the only two places where Celsius and the metric system isn't the
standard measurement systems used like in the rest of the places of the world.)
Claus on the other hand, felt like the heat was killing him. -Can we get inside, Zargare? I'm
dying here, begged Claus. Zargare just laughed as she turned to face Claus as she said to him, <"Some
mimesis you are. Can't even stand a little heat."> Tears started to fall from Claus' eyes as he cried from
the heat. 'come to think of it, Demons are creatures of the cold,' thought Zargare as she looked at Claus
who was starting to whimper from heat's assault. Deciding to head indoors, Zargare took Claus by the
hand and led him into a hotel.
--------------------
The hotel clerk was bored as he sat behind his desk and waited for the patrons to come. Seeing
the door open, he saw two children enter and walk up to his desk. It was the cyan-haired girl who
walked up to him and said, One room, please, sir. The Clerk looked down at the girl as he asked,
May I see an I.D. Please, miss? Digging out her wallet, Zargare flashed her Soviet World Federation
badge, and the Clerk just froze for a full ten seconds and then sputtered, Th-that was be ten dollars,
miss, as he handed Zargare the keys to the room.
---------------------------
Opening the door to the room, Zargare walked over to the bed and collapsed onto it back first.
Claus began to walk to the bathroom. Sitting up, Zargare asked him, <Why are you going in there?
You're a mimesis. It's not like you're going to ever need to use the toilet.> -I'm going in there to take
a cold shower. It's just too damn hot here, answered Claus as he entered the bathroom. said Zargare as she got up from the bed and walked over to Claus. -And
why is that? asked Claus as Zargare stood in front of him. <It's because you're now part demon. And
demons are creature of the cold.> -That figures, said Claus as he entered the bathroom and closed the
door. It was at this moment Zargare printed a note for Claus and left the hotel room.
---------------------------
It was a very nice day as Zargare walked to the nearest high-school. As Zargare walked along,
she could sense the young adults and teenagers were leering at her. Being vastly more powerful than
any human, Zargare did not give them a second thought. Reaching the high school, Zargare entered and
at once headed for the deans office. Getting there, Zargare knocked on the door, and then entered when
she heard the man inside say, come in. Zargare did so as the dean saw and at once a look of surprise
appeared on his face as he saw Zargare's unique appearance. How can I help you today? asked the
dean as he looked Zargare in the eyes.
I would like to enroll in your school, replied Zargare. Very well, said the dean as he turned
around and opened his desk. Taking out a sheet of paper, the dean handed it to Zargare who saw this as
she asked the dean, May I have another? My friend is also going to be enrolling here as well. The
dean nodded as he grabbed another sheet and handed it to Zargare. Although I ask that you fill them
out here, said the dean as his eyes scanned down Zargare's figure. Zargare decided to be honest about
her history as she filled out the document and signed it with her real name: Zargare Kielkino. It was at
this moment that Zargare filled out Claus', and then handed both sheets back to the dean.
Looking at Zargare's name, the dean was agape. It was the Zargare that was sitting before him.
He had seen photos of Zargare from the history books, and could hardly believe it. Are you a bit old
for high school? asked the dean. Zargare got to her feet, and laid her index finger on the dean's chin as
she asked him, A what's the matter? Don't I look the part of a high-school girl? I did do a good job
with this form if I do say so myself. The dean gulped as he leaned back in his chair. Seeing Claus'
enrollment sheet, the dean picked it up, scanned it with his eyes, and then looked at Zargare as he asked
her, Who's this person?
My apprentice, answered Zargare, Schooling him here is going to be part of his training as a
mimesis like myself. What's a mimesis? asked the dean. A shape shifter, replied Zargare as she
bowed and then left the dean's office. Sitting up in his chair, the dean said, Just who the hell is that
girl? A shape shifter? Reaching into his desk, the dean pulled out a flask of vodka, and then took a
swig of it. Putting the flask away, the Dean looked over the two enrollment sheets once more before he
called in the secretary and said to her, Take these two to the enrollment department if you would. The
secretary nodded as she took the two sheets and left the room.
--------------------------
Zargare returned to the hotel room to see Claus sitting at a chair reading one of his books. Claus
did not notice Zargare as the door opened and entered the room. <Someone looks busy,> said Zargare
as she leaned over Claus. That gave Claus a start as the book fell to the floor. Claus gave Zargare a
dirty look as he picked up the book and found that he had lost his place. <Well, bookworm; I have
news for you,> said Zargare as she leaned over him again with both hands set on the armrests of the
chair. -And what is that? asked Claus as he got to his feet as looked down at Zargare.
<Well, high-schooler; I've enrolled us both in the nearest high-school I could find. And
hopefully, we'll be starting there soon,> said Zargare as she smiled at Claus. Claus only raised his
eyebrow as he said to Zargare, -Why is it that I have a bad feeling at that? <What did you just
say?> asked Zargare as she glared at Claus. Claus returned the expression as he said in reply to
Zargare, <It's just I find myself not easily trusting of the people we will be with.> Zargare knew what
Claus meant by what he just said. It was then that Zargare smirked at Claus as she said to him, <Well;
consider attending this school an order by your master.> Claus was agape. Remaining speechless for a
full ten seconds, Claus then exclaimed, -What!? as he glared at Zargare.
-------------------------
<Wow, master,> exclaimed Irenica as she danced on the deck of the freighter as it left the port
of Anchorage. Irenica had an audience of crew members that watched her with blatant desire in their
eyes. Milgare too watched as Irenica continue to dance with the breeze blowing through her long cyan
hair. Milgare of course found his Irenica to be very useful as he watched from his cabinand Irenica
was as beautiful as she was as deadly a weapon. Shirley sat in the cabin and just glared at Milgare with
both fear and contempt on her face and with both arms crossed. How long are you going to be keeping
me with you? spat Shirley.
Come now, answered Milgare as he turned his head and faced Shirley, If I wanted you dead,
Shirley, you would have never saw it coming to begin with. You should be thankful I did not let Irenica
have her way back at your house. And why should I be thankful to you? asked Shirley, You've still
kidnapped me. That's a major crime. You're one to talk, said Milgare as he walked towards Shirley.
It was then that Irenica entered the cabin and then sat on her bunk as she smiled at Milgare and said to
him, <You should come dance with me, master. It's very pretty out there!> <I'll pass,> said Milgare
as he turned his gaze onto Irenica.
Getting up from her bed, Irenica walked over Shirley and asked her, Why do you Alaskan girls
like boys? Shirley was shocked by the question as she watched Irenica sit down next to her. Getting a
good look at Irenica, Shirley saw she had a hotter body than her. Blushing from this, Shirley said
nothing as Irenica began to pat-down her body with her hands until she had both hands on her breasts,
and then turned her gaze onto Shirley's own. Stop looking at me like that, demanded Shirley as she
began to inch away from Irenica who then grabbed her as Irenica began to squeeze her breasts. Shirley
cried out for Irenica to stop as her face blushed. Milgare only watched this with indifference.
Turning to Milgare, Shirley cried, Make her stop! Please?! Turning his gaze onto Irenica,
Milgare said to her, Time to stop, Irenica. Irenica nodded as she got up from Shirley. Shirley
immediately backed into the corner of the cabin. Shirley gave a Irenica a dirty look, as she turned to
Milgare and asked, Why is Irenica a pervert? Milgare gave his usual blank face as he gazed at
Shirley and said in reply, I have no idea what you are talking about. Irenica is still...'a babe in the
woods' as you humans call it. Shirley could see Irenica beginning to dance in the cabin as she tee heed
and started to say the words in sing song, I love my master. I love my master.
Milgare smiled. It was the first time she saw Milgare do this, and it was the iciest smile that she
had ever seen. Shirley's eyes both widened and twitched at the same time as she stared down at her
bunk. There just was not anything evil she could see about this Milgare! Shirley found it to be very
unsettling. It was at this Irenica ask her, Why are you upset? Shirley wanted to scream at them! These
two just were not normal! It was then that a look of shock swept over Shirley's as both realized that the
two were not human in any way. It was at this moment that Irenica grabbed Shirley's hand as she asked,
Why have you not answered me? I do want to ask you why I saw the men and women press their lips
together. What do you humans call that?
That confirmed it. Tears started to fall from Shirley's eyes as she turned to Irenica and Milgare
and whimpered, Please Let me go. I'll show you what I mean, said Irenica as she deep kissed
Shirley whose eyes widened. Seeing this, Milgare begin to laugh. He found this to be very amusing.
When Irenica was done kissing Shirley, She tee-heed, and then got to her feet as she heard Milgare tell
her, To answer your question, what you just did is what humans call 'kissing.'
From what I hear, it's what two people who love each other do to show it. When Milgare said
this, Irenica wowed, turned to Milgare, blushed, and then perked up as she smiled and said to Milgare,
Can I kiss you, master? Milgare blushed, and then nodded as Irenica kissed him. Shirley was
speechless. Getting up from her bunk, Shirley walked over to Milgare to slap him, but failed when
Milgare caught her hand. I fail to see your reasoning by that unnecessary use of force, said Milgare
as he looked Shirley in the eyes. I won't do as you want, said Shirley. I think not, said Milgare, I
have ways of making one be more then happy to do as I say, Shirley, but I find it much more rewarding
to have those who obey me at their own volition. I don't want to make you my puppet, Shirley, but I
will if you disobey for too long. I happen to find you a lot more entertaining and valuable to me with
your mind intact. Now be a good little girl and sit back down at your bunk!
Shirley did just that. Irenica was dancing about the cabin again. Shirley laid back in her bunk.
Again she thought about Zargare and Claus. Shirley blushed at the mere thought of Claus as she looked
through her memories of him. Looking at Irenica as she danced, Shirley thought to herself, 'This is a
dream. It has to be. But why won't I awake?'
-------------------------------
Zargare checked the mail. It was the first thing in the morning as humans would call it, and
Zargare looked forward to what the day would bring. Walking up to the front desk, Zargare saw it was
the same man who had first checked them into their room. Looking up, the man saw Zargare standing
before him. Blushing as he averted his gaze, the man asked, Can I help you? Nodding, Zargare
walked closer to the desk as she said in reply, Has their been any mail in my name delivered this
morning? Getting to his feet, the clerk turned around as he checked the mailbox behind him. Seeing a
letter to Zargare from the same high-school he went to, the Clerk handed it Zargare who took the letter
from him.
Opening the letter, Zargare saw that both Claus and herself had been accepted into the school
she had enrolled herself and Claus in. Grinning, Zargare heard the clerk ask her, What's the excitement
about? I'm in, replied Zargare as she smiled and then dashed to the hotel room to tell Claus the good
news. Reaching the room, Zargare entered as she said to Claus who was reading one of his books,
<We're in.> Claus looked up from his book, he asked, -In where? Walking up to Claus, Zargare
giggled as she replied, In high-school, silly. Claus saved his place with a book-mark, and got to his
feet as he faced Zargare and face palmed as he said, <And after what I said.>
Zargare set her hands on her hips and gave Claus a dirty look. Raising his hands into the air,
Claus rolled his eyes, and then asked, -Alright, Zargare, if it means that much to you. I'll go.
<Good, because we start tomorrow,> said Zargare with a smilewhich quickly went away when she
sniffed the air and glared at Claus as she asked him, <When was the last time you bathed?> Seeing
Claus trying to get away from her, Zargare grabbed him by the collar, and yanked him into the
bathroom. Filling up the bath-tub, Zargare striped both herself and Claus down nude, and tossed him
into the tub while she herself got in.
Claus' face was bright red as he blushed from this. said Zargare as she began to comb shampoo through Claus' hair. It resurfaced
memories about the day he became a mimesis when those two demons cleaned him. Claus lowered his
gaze at the water. Embracing him from behind, Zargare said into Claus' ear, <And tomorrow, no going
after other girls. Do you got that?> Claus almost leaped out of the water as he exclaimed to Zargare,
-Why would I be thinking about that at a time like this? <Well you are about that age,> answered
Zargare. Claus only nodded. When the two were done with their bath, Zargare said to Claus, <Time to
teach you another use of your abilities,> as she looked at his unkempt hair. It was at this moment that
Zargare changed her mind about teaching Claus about changing his appearance at will. Patting Claus
on the head, Zargare said to him, <Let's get something to eat.> Nodding in agreement, Claus said to
Zargare, -Alright, Let's go.
------------------------
Milgare, Irenica, and Shirley arrived in the same city as Zargare. Irenica seem to be quite
excited as she wowed at the sights before her. Milgare had taken on the form of a collar that was
wrapped around Shirley's neck. Milgare had made it clear to Shirley that he would he would poison her
the moment she'd try to escape or disobey him. Irenica walked along side Shirley. It was at this moment
an earpiece morphed out of the collar and implanted itself into Shirley's ear as Milgare said to her,
-We're going to the nearest hotel. Shirley nodded, as she saw such a place and headed there with
Irenica.
Milgare had enrolled Irenica in a high-school by phone. And the one thing Milgare did not
realized was the fact that his target would be attending the school he enrolled his Irenica in. Reaching
the hotel, Milgare checked Irenica into her room. What about me? asked Shirley as she tugged at the
collar. -You'll see, replied Milgare as the reached the room. Entering the room, Irenica closed the door
as Shirley entered as well. Morphing away from Shirley's neck and onto his feet in his default form,
Milgare kissed Shirley as a bright light shined from her and she began to shrink until she was twenty
centimeters high. Picking up Shirley, Milgare set her on the table as he heard Shirley say to him, What
did you do to me?
Wow, Master, said Irenica as she looked down at Shirley. Bringing out a small bird-cage,
Milgare picked up Shirley again, and then opened the door to the cage as he tossed Shirley inside.
Closing the door to the cage, Milgare said to Shirley, This should prevent you from escaping me.
Milgare could see fire in Shirley's eyes as she glared up at him. God dammit, said Shirley, I don't
want to be here! That's too bad! answered Milgare, That cage is your new home for the duration of
my stay here, Shirley. But I do have to say that your body is in my hands. What are you trying to say,
you pervert, shouted Shirley.
Milgare scoffed at Shirley as he said to her, how inappropriate. I am no pervert by your

definition of the phrase, Shirley. The curse of us mimesis, Shirley, Is at the time of our conversion, our
bodies maturation halts at the very stage that is current for the age in question. I was ten when the
Atlantian government converted me into a mimesis. Where I live, Shirley, I am surrounded by women,
and not once I found myself falling for any one of them. I can never fall in love with anyone.
It was that way during my first days as a mimesis fighting Lucifa's armies, and it is still that
way today, Shirley. Milgare was crying when he had finished speaking. Milgare soon Realized that he
was crying, and Shirley saw the tears at once stopped flowing. Turning to Irenica, Milgare gave her the
key to the room, and said to her, <You're free for today, Irenica.> There was a puzzled look in
Irenica's eyes for a moment, and then she Nodded at Milgare as Irenica said to him, <What do you
mean, master?> <You are free to do as you want until 20:00. Go outside and do whatever until then,
and then return here.> Smiling, Irenica left the room and then left the hotel.
----------------------
Claus decided to stay behind at the restaurant as Zargare returned to the hotel room. Leaving the
restaurant himself, Claus walked among the streets of the city. He was impressed at how different
things were here. It was at this moment that Claus bumped into somebody and tripped. It was Irenica
that Claus had ran into, and too fell to the ground. Getting up, Claus saw it was a girl! Extending his
hand, Claus helped her onto her feet and looked at her. -Are you okay? Claus asked Irenica who
blushed as she looked at him. Irenica then nodded. Looking at Claus, Irenica asked him, Why did you
help me? -I just felt like it, Claus replied as he then asked Irenica, -What's your name?
It's Irenica, she replied, Yours? -I'm Claus, Claus answered. Looking at Irenica, Claus saw
she was really good looking. Seeing Irenica's cyan-haired scalp, Claus said to her, -Hey. You're a
mimesis. Irenica started to freak out as she gasped, How did you know? -I just know what one
looks like is all, Claus replied as he looked he saw a hat morphed around her scalp that then covered up
her hair. Let me ask you then, said Irenica as she blushed at Claus and then pointed to his purple hair
and asked, Why is your hair purple? Claus blushed as he said in reply, -It just looks like this. It was
a lie of course, because he had a feeling that Zargare would have his head if he told this girl what he
actually was.
It was then that Irenica grabbed Claus' hand and led him with a run to the same restaurant he
had just left. Smiling at Claus, Irenica said to him, I'm going to purchase us something to drink!
Sitting down at a table Irenica was very excited. This purple-haired boy was very good looking. Unlike
master who just looked like a kid. But Irenica knew Milgare's true age. Irenica did look up to Master,
but it she could never even tell what he thought. Milgare always had the same blank emotionless face
that he wore like a mask. In spite of this, Irenica could tell Milgare was in a constant state of misery.
She could not blame him. The other girls treated him like a demon! And none of them ever regarded his
presence unless necessary, or if for some reason Milgare's presence was impossible to disregard. Irenica
felt the ever present need to stay by Milgare's sideand the soviet woman glared at her with contempt
because of it.
So why not tell me a bit about yourself? Irenica asked Claus. Claus decided to answer Irenica
as he said to her, -I came to this country because my teacher says this is where she'll train me. It's
because there's someone I love That I'm getting strong for. For the battle that will decide if a have
a chance of getting her back. The battle is going to be five years from now, and I might not win it.
The enemies I'll face are very strong. I'm also fighting to keep Shirley and the others safe from
them. 'another girl?' Irenica wondered. Who is this one you love? Is she what you call a girlfriend?
asked Irenica as she blushed. To this Claus showed his surprise and then laughed.
-It's nothing like that, Claus replied, -It's just that I've been with Kielko since I was since I
was a hatching as she would say. She's a bit like a girlfriend to me, but nothing could ever happen
between that raven and I. What about you? Irenica sighed as she shook her head and Said to Claus,
I envy you that you have such a good friend. But why a raven? Claus showed mild frustration about
not having his question answered, but shrugged as he said, -She and I were together since I was
three. It was a test the soviets did where they surgically installed electronic communications
equipment and a computer in the brains of several animals, and thus boosted their intelligence to
human levelsthus giving them the ability to speak. I was the first and only person they did that
to. Kielko was the name I gave to the raven they stuck me with as part of their tests. And from
there, Kielko and I quickly bonded.
Blushing, Irenica said, That's nice. Claus nodded as their drinks arrived. It was then that
Irenica said to Claus, What do you know about high school, Claus? I'm starting in one tomorrow.
-Me too, answered Claus as he told Irenica the name of the school he'd be going to. Irenica was very
surprised as she said to Claus, We're going to the same school tomorrow! Claus only nodded. The
two spoke about each other. Soon, it was time to leave. I really had a good time, Said Irenica as she
gazed at Claus and blushed as the two walked out the door of the restaurant. Claus too was blushing as
he averted his gaze. Standing in front of Claus, Irenica said to him, May I do something before we
leave, Claus? Claus nodded as he said, -Of course, Irenica. What is it? It was at this moment that
Irenica embraced Claus, and then deep-kissed him for a full ten seconds. It was then that Irenica
walked away from Claus as she smiled, waved, and said to him, I'll see you tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------
Chapter 11.
Zargare was kept up by Claus' constant movement in the bed. It was clear that he was his dream
was not well. And he was sweating. Deciding to take a look, Zargare embraced Claus and mouthed a
phrase as she was transported into his. Dream. Looking around, Zargare saw things through his eyes.
A boy? This will be interesting, said the voice of a woman. Zargare could then see a room filled with
birds and various creature as a sea of voices drowned out the surrounding ambiance of the room with
Claus convulsing on the floor trying to cope as the female scientists watched from behind the glass
with indifference in their eyes.
-----------------
There then came another conversation Claus overheard: He's a weapon. I want to ask you how to
best utilize V-06? He's adapted beyond all expectations to the use of his equipment. You're guess is as
good as mine in that regard. Let's stick him with the ones he was with when we begun testing his
equipment, said Milgare's voice. Agreed. The next scene was that of the same room with Claus
surrounded by the birds. Claus was speaking to one one of the ravens in the room as the others listened
to him. 'This must be Kielko,' thought Zargare. Claus' dream was a recollection of his memories under
to Soviet test program. The next memory Zargare saw through Claus' eyes was him doing combat tests
in a maze as a means of testing his electronic communications equipment when he was at the age of
nine.
Zargare could tell Claus was using live ammunition as Zargare saw him cut-down armed
prisoners that the soviets had brought in from a nearby prison. Zargare could see delight in the eyes of
the female scientists that stood behind the glass as the watched Claus murder away with his sub-
machine gun. And Zargare saw Milgare standing along side the female Scientists! 'What the hell?'
thought Zargare ass she saw him through Claus' eyes as he stood behind the glass of the room the
overlooked the maze. Zargare could tell Claus was listing to them speak as he hacked into their security
system was his IBC. Zargare horrified as Claus smiled at the words of praise said by the women: It's
as if He can predict the actions of his targets, said one of the women. It was at this moment that Claus
cornered one of his targets who begged for her life as Claus pointed his SMG at her head, and pulled
the trigger as his target's head splattered against the wall of the maze and the headless woman fell to the
ground as a dark red puddle began to grow in size around the body.
It was then That Zargare heard through Claus' Electronic communications equipment, -V-06.
All targets have been terminated. The test is over and you are done for the day. Claus lowered his
gun and looked at the women behind the glass who were smiling at seeing Claus in action. The next
memory was another combat test in the same maze. Only it was against Soviet solders who were all of
course female. Claus showed little mercy as he hunted down and shot each solder with his SMG.
Zargare knew Claus' opponents were all elite solders, but all were incapacitated by the electric stun
rounds the soviets had issued Claus before sending him into the maze. Claus had each girl before they
could even react!
When the test was over, Claus left the maze only to have the group of nine girl he had defeated
gang up on him in the hallway. Looking down at Claus, their squad-leader said to Claus, I don't think
it was fair how you treated us back there. Claus said nothing to her as he attempted to leave the
encirclement of womenonly to be pushed back into the circle. The women all laughed as Claus
looked up to them with annoyance in his eyes. It was at this moment that one of the female solders
kicked Claus into one of the walls of the hallway as she said, <Tag! You're it!> All nine of the
women laughed as Claus' body twitched from the pain of that recent attack.
Claus got to his feet as he ran towards the woman who had just kicked him. Knocking her to the
ground, Claus crushed her wind-pipe with a single kick, and then walked away as he heard them say,
<What the?> Claus turned around and watched them as medics rushed to the scene. Within five
minutes, the medics looked at their watches as they spoke the time out-loud as the woman Claus had
kicked was sealed away in a body-bag and taken away. It was at this moment that the dream ended and
Claus awoke as he thought, 'It was that dream again.' Seeing Zargare on him, Claus blushed as he got
out of bed and made his clothing morph around his body.
Nice uniform, said Zargare as she morph her own around her body. Zargare decided to not tell
Claus that she had watched his dream through his eyes. Claus had been trained as a solder under the
Soviet's test program. Zargare knew those women who were behind the Glass watching Claus. They
were the same Women Zargare had as her team back at the Soviet World Federation. What surprised
Zargare was the fact that they did not speak of it. It did take place at the same research center both she
and Milgare worked at. But they would be glad to have Claus back. Zargare was sure of that herself.
But what Zargare wondered is how they got him, Shirley, and the other kids into that place with out her
knowing it. It was then that Zargare realized that they had flown them into the base while the kids were
kept in an induced coma.
-You look good, Claus said to Zargare as he walked up to her. Zargare smiled. It was then that
Claus entered the bathroom to take a shower. As Claus showered, he thought about his time under the
Soviet's care while taking part in their test program they made him participate in. While he was there,
they never allowed him to talk to anybody but the birds they made him live with. Those women who
watched his every test never spoke to him directly. It was always through his Electronic
communications equipment. And never did they or anybody else ever visit him. The Soviets isolated
him with the ravens. The room he called home was something of a greenhouse as it was a rich garden.
Of course the Soviets had outfitted the room with everything Claus needed to live in comfort. The room
also had a pool at which swam a few dolphins that also had ECE installed in them. Claus also spent a
lot of time talking to them as well.
The test were another story altogether. They started when he was eight. They had Claus, in a
period of a year. execute over 1,000 criminals that they had armed with ever deadlier weapons as a test
of his IBC's fire-control function and combat abilities. Claus could tell how impressed they were by his
combat performance by eavesdropping on their conversations. They were so impressed, that they made
the decision to make Claus fight solders, and then their best solders to fight in the maze where they had
Claus cut down the criminals. Claus defeated so many opponents, that he himself became beyond elite
in both hand to hand, and armed combat.
And Claus made good use of that craft during when the soviets employed him in their military
operations, and during his time in Alaska working with that Country's police forceswhich was a joke
compared to the Soviet elite solders he had defeated and even killed again and again without any injury
to himself. Claus even still owned the same SMG he had used in the maze. Both the gun and Kielko
were the two things the Soviets allowed Claus to keep when the sent him back to Alaska as a condition
of their treaty with the US and Alaska. Finishing his shower, Claus morphed his school uniform around
his body as he left the bathroom.
---------------------------------
Irenica awoke. Smiling, she thought about the date she had with Claus the night before. Irenica
was hoping to met Claus at school. <You look like you're in a good mood, Irenica,> said Milgare as
he glanced at Irenica. Irenica Nodded as she walked towards Milgare and looked down at him as he sat
in his chair and looked up at Irenica. said Irenica with excitement in her
voice, <And we had a really nice time.> Irenica was shaking with excitement at the prospect of
seeing Claus again at School. Getting to his feet, Milgare asked Irenica, <May I asked who it is that
you met, Irenica?> Giggling, Irenica laid her finger on Milgare's chin as she said in reply, <That is a
secret, Master.> Milgare raised his eyebrow as he said, Walking towards the door, Irenica
smiled at Milgare as she said to him, <Well, Master, I'm off to school.> As Irenica left the room,
Shirley said to Milgare, Having fun? Milgare just chuckled as he looked down at her and said in
reply, You have no idea.
------------------------
Claus walked down the street. Zargare was not with him as she said she'd take a different means
of getting to school. Claus still wore the robe-like tuxedo Lucifa's maids had given him. It was worn
over the school uniform as an overcoat. Out of habit from the past, Claus tuned into the police radio
bands and listened to their chit-chat over the radio. So far there was no mention of him or Zargare. And
that meant that they were still unknown to them. Based on what Claus knew, being unknown was in
many ways batter than being known. It was at this moment that Irenica caught up to Claus, as she
wowed at the sight of Claus' tuxedo and said to him, Wow! What is that that you're wearing, Claus?
Noticing Irenica, Claus saw that she looked really good in her school uniform. Irenica was a very good
looking girl. And she was around his age too.
-It's my tuxedo. Lucifa gave it to me, or at least I should say her servants were the one
who picked this one for me to wear, Claus answered with a smile. It looks nice, said Irenica as she
walked up to Claus, and then matched his pace as she walked beside him. Claus could tell Irenica could
not take her eyes off his purple hair. Irenica liked the color of Claus' hair, but it was not a natural color.
She could tell from the fact that Claus was the only boy she saw who was purple-haired. Irenica
decided to not pursue any further. Turning to Claus, Irenica asked him, What do you think we'll do
once we're there at school? Claus only shrugged. Irenica could tell that he did not know as well.
Minutes passed, and the two came in sight of the school.
Claus could tell that the people around them were watching them as they entered the school
grounds. It was the second month of the school-year, and everything was a new sight for Claus and
Irenica. Irenica wowed as she took Claus' hand and led him to the class roster to see where they will be
having each of their classes. Reaching the roster board, Irenica said to Claus as she saw her placement,
Isn't it great, Claus! Our first class will be together. Claus actually smiled. Looking at the class
roaster himself, he could see Zargare was in none of his classes. Claus breathed a sigh of relief as he
turned to Irenica and said to her, -Let's go, Irenica. As they walked, Claus could see people glaring at
his hair. It was at this moment that some of the boys grabbed Irenica as another group surrounded
Claus. At once the biggest of the group stepped in front of Claus and looked down at him and smirked.
I want you to give me your money or else you won't like what we'll do to your girlfriend.
Claus contained his laughter. It was then that Claus smiled at this boy as he said to him, -You'll
lose against me. What did you say?! roared the bully as he balled his hands into fist and swung at
Claus who dodged his attack and then tripped the bully who fell to the ground as Claus kicked his
lower leg from behind. The bully was stunned for a few seconds, and then got to his feet as he
screamed a wordless scream at Claus and ran towards Claus. Seeing this, Claus rolled his eyes as he
dodged the bully again with a sidestep, and then did a chop at the side of his neckKnocking the bully
out cold and sending him falling towards the ground and sliding a full two meters before coming to
stop on the tiled floor.
It was at this moment that the bully's allies came to his aid as they said, He decked Francis!
Oh my god! He's out cold, said another. Turning around, Claus began to continue his walk towards
his first class as Irenica caught up with Claus and said to him, Wow! That was incredible, Claus! How
did you learn to fight like that?! -The Soviets taught me by their training between their executions
they had me perform in their maze, Claus replied as he blushed and looked at Irenica who smiled.
Averting her gaze from Claus, Irenica blushed as she said to Claus, I wish I was that good. Master
took me without training, and after seeing you take that boy down, could you teach me some of what
you know, Claus? Claus shrugged as he gazed at the ceiling.
Reaching their class, both Claus and Irenica entered the door, and stepped inside the classroom.
They spoke with the teacher who gave them separate seats to sit in. This really was both Claus' and
Irenica's first time sitting at a desk in a classroom. As the minutes passed by, Claus and Irenica could
see the seats around them begin to fill up with students who looked all discontent with the fact of
themselves being there. Claus on the other hand, was excited to finally be sitting in a Classroom.
Something that had been denied him due to his Soviet upbringing and the fact of he being without
parents or guardians to look after himbut namely his soviet upbringing during his time in the Soviet
World federation. And the people of Alaska called him names: Names like Commie, murderer, and dog.
Murderer because he was one of those the Soviets used to execute political prisoners, their criminals,
and those they hated. And Claus was perfectly willing to do this and do as the Soviets wanted of him to
do.
It was then that the bell rang and Class begun. Turning his gaze onto Claus, the teacher called
him to the front of the class and said to the Class, Class! We have a new exchange student that will be
join our class. Pointing his hand at Claus, the teacher asked, Would you mind introducing yourself to
the class? Turning his gaze onto the class, Claus said to them, -My name is Claus Sonredna. And I
have come here to both learn and train. I was raised in the Soviet World Federation before
moving back to Alaska, and then I came here. There was murmuring from the entire class as each of
the students voiced their disapproval of Claus' origins. As Claus returned to his seat, he could see most
glaring at him with dislike. As Claus sat down, he could hear whispering of the words, Look. It's the
Commie! Irenica was the next to introduce herself as she stood at the front of the Class and said to
them, I'm Irenica Kielkoki! I'm from the Soviet World federation like Claus. Although I'm still pretty
much newly made so please go easy on me.
Irenica returned to her seat and blushed as she glanced at Claus and then looked away. It was at
this moment that a girl asked Irenica, You're Soviet? Irenica nodded only to see this girl give her a
dirty look. It was then that this same girl said, You said that you're newly made. How old are you?
Thirty days, replied Irenica. The girl had disbelief in her eyes as she said, Really? You look like
you're fifteen! Where are you parents? Your mom and dad. Lowering her head, Irenica said to her, I
don't have parents. I was made in a factory the same way all the others were produced. I don't really see
why it's such a big deal to you. This girl showed her contempt on her face as she spat, You're weird!
Claus did his best to follow the teachers directions as he read through the textbook the teacher
had issued everyone. It was not all that different from the ones Claus had read on similar subjects. It
was math-something Claus had no trouble with at all with the use of his IBC. Claus just cruised
through the excises like a battleship cutting through a light storm at sea. Claus looked at Irenica to see
the other girls around her were giving her a hard time. Claus hated that about the people here. In spite
of the executions the Soviets had him perform those years ago, the Soviets were not all that bad of
peopleat least Claus had no reason to not think soin spite of the fact that they did not show
themselves to him for the duration of his life in the soviet would federation. And during his time there,
the only ones Claus was able to talk to at all were Kielko and the other twenty ravens that lived in his
garden. And this garden was very large.
Having long since finished his assignment, Claus looked to his memories about the garden that
was his old home. It was a dome 150 meters in diameter with a 25-meter deep pool at its center that
was 20 meters in its diameter. Surrounding the pool was treesmostly pine and birch. The was also a
few apple-trees as an actual garden Claus grew some of the food he ate. Also in the dome was his house
where he lived and slept. Claus had learned to take care of himself during his time living in the Soviet
world federation. Turning his thoughts back to class, Claus picked up the finish assignment, and took it
up to the teacher's desk to turn it in for grading. Seeing Claus walk up to his desk, the teacher said to
him, Done Already? Claus Nodded. -May I have the next assignment? Claus asked the teacher.
Nodding, the teacher handed Claus the sheets of paper. Taking the sheets, Claus returned to his seat
with them.
As Claus returned to his seat, He looked at Irenica again to see that she was doing the
assignment okay. Sitting down in his seat, Claus looked at the sheets of paper filled with incomplete
equations. These were too easy for him thanks to his IBC. Putting this to use, Claus started into the
three sheets of paper before him. As Claus worked, He thought about the end of his time at the Soviet
world Federation. He made the decision then to leave the research facility for the outside would. And as
he did, he could tell the Soviets would miss him. Their isolation of him Claus understood as it forged
him into one of their best tools. And in that way, the Soviets found him to be valuable to them. And
now even more valuable as a powerful mimesis like Zargare and Irenica. Claus had become a solder
during his time there. Something Shirley and the others were not trained for. And they hated Claus
because he was living proof that he was better than them. It was then that Claus' thoughts turned to how
Zargare would react to him dating Irenica. As Claus thought about this, he completed all three sheets of
the assignment. Getting to his feet, Claus collected the three sheets of paper, and then walked up to the
teacher's desk to turn them in.
There was a surprised look on the teacher's face as he saw Claus return to the desk and turn in
the completed assignment. Claus was about getting the next assignment, but the teacher shook his head
and said to Claus, You've done enough for today. Please return to your seat. Claus nodded as he did
just that. Claus could tell that if the class did not hate him before, they did nowand clearly showed it
on their faces as they glared at Claus as he walked back to his seat. As Claus sat down in his seat, He
could see Irenica smiling at him as she winked. Looking at the clock, Claus could see it was only
fifteen minutes until the dismissal bell was to ring. And fifteen minutes later, the bell did ring as both
Claus and Irenica left for their next class.
You were incredible, Claus, Said Irenica as she smiled at Claus. Claus had really been
enjoying his time at school so far. -Thank you, Claus replied. He could see people were openly
showing their envy of them. It was at this moment that Claus was called to the front office by the
intercom. Arriving there a few minutes later, Claus was greeted by the school dean who led him into his
office and sat him down at a chair. You did a number on that Francis, son, said the dean. Claus only
nodded. What do have to say for yourself? the dean asked Claus who said in reply, -I was only
defending myselfsomething the Soviet World Federation taught me to do in similar situations
in their program that ended five years ago.
The dean had read about such programs the Soviets had done. He was going to discipline Claus
for his actions, but having his interest sparked, decided to ask what he did in their program. It was at
this moment the dean asked Claus, What did they have you do there? -They electronically enhanced
me, sir, with both a computer and electronic communications equipment they surgically installed
into my brain after they matured me into an adult within a period of a year after my arrival. I
was four when my maturation was completed. They then trained me as a solder for four years
before putting combat testing at which they armed criminal on death-row, put me in a maze with
them, and then gave me orders to terminate all targets as quickly as possible. There was two such
tests a week where it was ten against one. And they had do this for a period of a yearAfter
which I had executed over a thousand targets--with each month they putting me up against
opponents armed with ever deadlier weapons. After this was done, they had me fight other
solders, and then elite solders before I fought in war as part of their military.
The dean was speechless and agape at Claus' story. He then asked Claus, How old were you
when they begun having you fight the criminals? -I was eight, sir, Claus replied. Nodding, the dean
got to his feet and said to Claus, Alright, You're free to go. Nodding, Claus got to his feet and left the
Dean's office. Opening the door, Claus stepped through it and closed the door behind him. Leaving the
front office. Arriving at his next Class, Claus sat down at the desk and started into his assignment.
Claus could see word had gotten around about where he had lived for most of his life. Someone had
listened to his conversation with the dean. The main subject was that the people called him 'girl killer' It
was now clear that the school-year would not have a happy ending. Claus could see everyone
beginning to look to him with fear in their eyes. But this, Claus could not care less about. The only
thing that was on his mind was want Zargare would think of him when she would begin teaching him
more about how to use his abilities as a mimesis. And that was the only thing Claus cared about about
at this very moment.
------------------------------
Chapter 12.
To: Soviet World Federation high command
from: Z. Kielkino
Subject: acquisition of mimesis candidate.
It has been time since my acquisition of V-06: C. Sonredna. The subject still has need to train under my guidance
as the fallen angle: Lucifa, has forced V-06 into a contract at which V-06 must face Lucifa in combat after a duration of five
years after his conversion into a dark mimesis upon fusion with a fallen angle. Given V-06's combat performance and history,
there is little question as to V-06's ability to win said combatsuch that I've had much experience in myself. I hereby
request additional time overseas until V-06's abilities as a dark mimesis due to this mimesis class taking longer to master
their abilities.
--------------------------
Mildred was the first to read Zargare's report as it came in by electronic mail. Milgare had lied
to her! Lied to the Soviet high command! Mildred was trembling with rage as she shouted, <That
bastard!> The base commander laughed as he read both Milgare's and Zargare's report. Mildred just
glared at the base commander as she said to him, <This is no time to be laughing, Norjo.> Norjo just
smirked at his monitor as his said to her, <The monster,> Mildred said as she face-palmed, <Don't tell me Zargare's
bring him back here?>
<That's exactly what's she's doing, Mildred. Although it was Milgare who was in charge of the
program that turned that frail little tike into the solder that is V-06and a damn good solder at that. It
was Milgare's idea to isolate himjust to make you bitches happy about fact of Claus living in this
baseand to forge V-06 into the killing machine that he was and still is today. Not that was the first
time people like you pressured Milgare into such things as the isolation of V-06 so his maturation could
be uninterrupted. In my mind, Mildred, V-06 is an ideal choice for a mimesisone whose maturation
has completed it's courseunlike myself and the others and Milgare.>
Norjo just laid back in his seat as Mildred did her job of typing in what he had just said. It was
then that Norjo began to type into his computer. Seeing this, Mildred asked him, <What are you
doing?> <Issuing new orders to Milgare, Mildred. I'm ordering him to discontinue his apprehension
of Zargare and V-06.> Completing the order to Milgare, Norjo forwarded it to the Soviet high
Comand, and after a few minutes, received a reply of they approving the order at which Norjo then sent
to Milgare who would no doubt receive the message within half an hour.
And as Norjo had said, Milgare did receive the order, and took it quite well as he said to himself
out-loud, <Well, It had been fun.> Shirley looked up at Milgare and asked him, What is it? My
mission is over. So I will release you shortly. Shirley was speechless. Looking down at Shirley,
Milgare asked her, What do you know about Claus? Shirley blushed as she shook her head and said
in reply to Milgare, Not much. When we were in the SWF, we never saw him; but he stepped on-
board the plane with us that took us all back to Alaska. And when we got there, we moved into that
house you saw. It Claus' house since he was the one that bought it. We all were surprised when he did
because Claus would go off for days, and then return with a bag of money. That's what he used to buy
the house.
And what if I told you that Claus killed for that money taking jobs where somebody wanted
somebody else dead, Shirley? Said Milgare. Shirley was at one on her feet as she said, What are you
saying? Our intelligence reports did mention his active involvement in assassination contracts of both
police and gang alike, Shirley. Both the Soviets and Alaska regard Claus as a loose cannon. I know
because I've been court marshaled because of the results of my decision to allow Claus to return to
Alaska. I was in charge of him during his time in the Soviet World Federation, I'm the one who turned
him into the monster that he is, answered Milgare. Shirley was horrified by Milgare's words as she
screamed, How could you?!
There's no point in arguing this matter, Shirley! Milgare shouted in return, The reason the
Soviets have kept me around, Shirley, is that in spite of the hate the female population that dominates
the place has for me, they turn the me to deal with the things they don't want to deal with, and to make
the hard decisions they don't want to make! It's never easy for me, Shirley, but I did what would make
Claus into the best solder possible at their request. And I did a damn good job at it. I simply can't undo
what I did. There's just too many years of conditioning and training in place. The Claus you love will
never be less than a monster. Face it, Shirley, there's no place for him in ordinary life anymore. After
what I've done to him, Claus will never be an ordinary Joe. Not today, not ever.
Opening the door to the birdcage, Milgare allowed Shirley to exit her prison. Shirley was
crying. Sitting down on one of the two beds, Milgare covered his eyes with a single hand as he sobbed.
This went on for a moment before Milgare forced the sobbing to stop, and got to his feet as he walked
towards the window to look out of it. Turning around, Milgare walked over to Shirley as he touched her
with a finger. At once, Shirley was restored to her original form. She actually felt better than she did in
a long time. She felt fantastic. What did you do to me? she asked Milgare. Milgare just smiled as he
said in reply, I regenerated your body. There sure were a lot of hidden health problems. Shirley
thanked Milgare. It was then that Shirley noticed that she was nude. Blushing, Shirley said, What did
you do with my clothes?
I destroyed them, Milgare answered, And I do lack libido just to let you know, Shirley, so I
don't really see what the problem is. It was at this moment that the door to the room opened, and both
Irenica and Claus entered. Seeing Shirley standing stark naked before him, Claus blushed. -Shirley,
Claus said, -Why are you naked? Hearing him, Shirley screamed at Claus, and then slapped him. A
moment latter, Claus sat on the bed with a hand-shaped red mark on his face as Milgare finished
dressing Shirley in some of Irenica's clothing. It was then that Milgare stepped in front in Claus and got
his attention. Seeing Milgare, Claus at once went pale. To Claus, it was the boy behind the glass that
was there watching every goddamn test he did back at the Soviet World Federation.
<Ah, V-06,> said Milgare as he extended his hand. Getting to his feet, Claus said to Milgare,
-What the hell are you doing here? <Following orders,> answered Milgare, <But the mission was
canceled by the Soviet High command. A pity though. I was looking forward to dueling you, Claus.>
Hearing this, Irenica dashed over to Milgare and Claus as she exclaimed, <What?! You mean I won't
get to fight Zargare?> <Yes,> replied Milgare as he then said to Irenica, <And that means we are
now guests here in this country, Irenica. So we'll be taking no action against Claus or Zargare.>
Looking at Claus, Irenica gave him a dirty look as she said to him, <You lied to me, Claus.> Getting
to his feet, Claus said in reply, -I never lied to you, Irenica. I just never told you I was a mimesis.
<Then why is you hair purple?> Irenica asked Claus. -It's because I'm a dark mimesis,
Irenica. The reason I did not tell you is because Zargare would be pissed if she found out I told
another girl my secret; Claus answered as he face-palmed. Hearing Claus' words, Milgare began to
snicker as he slapped Claus on the back and said, <That's Zargare for you. Has she made you into a
man yet?> At once Claus' face grew bright red at Milgare's question. -As if I'd know; said Claus.
Laughing, Milgare introduced himself to Claus as he said to him, <My name is Milgare. And I am the
one who was in charge of the program that turned you into the solder, Claus. You are pretty famous in
the Soviet World federation. And that is pretty rare in that place when it comes to men in general.>
Shirley stepped into the conversation as she said, How can he be famous? He just is,
Milgare said in reply, as he is right up there with myself and Zargare with his skills when it comes to
combat, Shirley. Claus is renowned for his ability to win battles and mission considered to be suicide
missionssomething I and my team trained Claus to do since he was three years of age. Claus was
giving Milgare a dirty look. Walking up to Claus, Shirley asked him, Why didn't you tell me any of
this? -And why are you here, Shirley? Claus asked back to Shirleynot wanting to talk about his
past to anyone. Shirley placed both hands onto her hips as she said to Claus, Oh. So you're avoiding
my question? -I don't want to answer it; and for good reason, Shirley, Claus said.
It's because your head would explode if he told you, said Milgare who decided to save Claus
from seeing Shirley's sensibilities destroyed from being pressured into telling. And besides, Milgare
added, He and Irenica are together. Both Irenica and Claus were surprised. How did you know?
Irenica asked. I watched you, Milgare replied. Irenica blushed as Shirley glared at her as she said,
It's on. Irenica just smirked at Shirley as she said to her, I don't know what you're talking about.
Hearing these words, Shirley was enraged. -I think Im going to leave, Claus said as he walked
towards the hotel room door, opened it, stepped through, and closed the door behind him. Claus was
glad to be out of there either way.
-------------------
Claus was late. That was what went through Zargare's head as she waited for Claus to return.
Hearing the door unlock, Zargare saw Claus enter the room. Walking up to Claus to welcome him back,
Zargare saw him walk right past her and laid his hand on the bathroom door as he mouthed a word, and
then opened the door and walked through before closing it behind him. Zargare tried to open the door
herself, but found that she could not. Smirking, Zargare let go of the door knob, and walked back to the
bed as she laid down. Her mind at once turned to Claus as she wondered why he was avoiding her. 'Is it
another girl? Zargare thought as she stared up at the ceiling. Why did I just think that? Zargare
thought again as a single tear flowed down her cheek.
-----------------------
Lucifa smiled as she watched the events from the past month unfold and sipped a drink she had
Kielko prepare for her. Kielko stood nearby and too watched. Setting the wine-glass on a nearby table,
Lucifa ran her finger around its rim, and the began to laugh as she said, You're wasting time, Zargare.
Claus will win, Kielko said to Lucifa. Smirking at Kielko, Lucifa got to her feet and walked towards
Kielko as she lifted Kielko's chin and said to her, I'm not so sure my little cutie. You are mine until he
winsif ever. Kielko just gave Lucifa a dirty look as she watched Lucifa shake with suppressed
laughter. Kielko did not like this Lucifa. It was then that Kielko asked Lucifa, And what do you plan
to do to Claus once you have him?
Lucifa had not given that much thought. Deciding to avoid the question, Lucifa smiled as she
said in reply, be his wife of course. Smirking at Kielko, Lucifa said to her, I guess that answers your
question. Kielko left the room. Lucifa had told her on the day of her internment, that she was free to
move throughout the city. Kielko still thought about Claus as she walked along and looked at the
women around her. Reaching her house, Kielko entered it and laid down on her bed. It had been a
month since she had been in human form, And Kielko was beginning to get used to living in such a
form. The woman Kielko lived around did say how attractive she looked, and Kielko looked herself in
a mirror as she pondered this. Please win so you can have me back, Claus, Kielko said as she began
to cry as she watched herself do this in the mirror.
---------------------------
Claus looked over his collection of weapons. Picking up his SMG, Claus held the weapon in his
hands as he laid on his futon and looked at the room's ceiling and pointed the gun at it. Lowering his
weapon, Claus' eyes began the scanning motion of thought as he recalled how many lives he had ended.
It had been a while since he had taken a job where he'd last fired it. It was then that Claus decided he
would take a new job. Getting up from his futon, Claus walked over to his desk, and brought out the
carrying case for his SMG. Packing away his gun, Claus picked up the ammunition for the weapon and
attached the magazines into a belt that he then buckled around his waist. Putting on his armored trench-
coat. Claus buttoned up the coat, and then strapped the gun-case to his back. Looking in the mirror,
Claus was satisfied of the fact the he was ready for combat.
Opening the door to his subspace room, Claus entered the hotel room and saw Zargare laid on
the bed. Seeing him in his outfit, Zargare remembered it was the same one Claus wore during his time
in combat. It was then the Claus said to Zargare, -I'm going to take work. <You can't be serious,
Claus,> Zargare said as she got to her feet and walked towards Claus. Walking towards the door,
Claus said to Zargare, -We need money, Zargare. And this is the best way I know how. It is what
Milgare trained me for. Claus could see Zargare was not too happy about hearing that name. It was
then, that Claus said to Zargare, -And having met Milgare in person for the first time today, It
seems to me You've held me back by not teaching as much as what Milgare taught Irenica. <You
met Milgare?> said Zargare. Claus nodded as he released his grip on the door-knob and looked
Zargare in the eye.
Breaking out a piece of paper, Claus wrote down the phone number to his IBC, and handed it to
Zargare as he said to her, -You can reach me here if you need me, Zargare. I'm going to see what
jobs are out there. Whether it be for Military, police, or criminal, I'm going out there to kill so we
can have money. I did it for Shirley and the others, and I am doing it again. I'm a solder after all.
<Doing it again?> spat Zargare. Deciding that he did not want to listen to Zargare, Claus opened the
door to the room, and left. Seeing the door close behind Claus, Zargare wanted to scream at him. He
was going out there to murder. Remembering her own atrocities, Zargare blushed as sat back down on
the bed. <Why do I think what he does is wrong?> Zargare said as she laid down on the bed.
Getting to her feet, Zargare decided that She'd go with Claus on his mission. Leaving the room,
Zargare locked the door, and ran after Claus. Catching up to him, Zargare said to Claus, I'm going
with you. Claus nearly fell over when he heard Zargare's words. -You're coming with me? Claus
asked, only to see Zargare nod as she said in reply, <Yes. And it's about time I taught you more about
your abilities.> Somehow, Claus found himself hard-pressed to find words to complain with as an
answer to Zargare's statement.
-Just stay out of my way, Claus finally said as he blushed and averted his gaze. What's the
matter? Don't you like the idea of using me as your weapon? Zargare asked as she embraced Claus
from behind and spoke into his ear. -It's just that this line of work isn't something I find girls
willing to risk their lives doing, Claus said to Zargare. Annoyed by this statement, Zargare said to
Claus, <Then what do you call the Soviet military?> Zargare did have a point. During his time in the
Soviet army, Claus did see he was the only man there apart from brass that issued him orders. It was
indeed mostly girls there. -I guess I have no choice then, grumbled Claus as he spoke. To this Zargare
smiled. It was then that Zargare looked at Claus' hair and said to him, <Can I show you another trick?
How to change your hair color.> Claus nodded as Zargare said to him, <What you do is in-vision
your hair, and then think of what color you want it to be.>
It was at this moment that Claus' hair changed into it's white color that it was before Claus
became a mimesis. -That's better, Claus said as he continued on his way to the nearest police station.
As they walked, a group of Claus' female peers sighted them. Looking at Claus, one of the asked
another, Isn't that Claus? Seeing his white hair, one of them wowed as she said, Check out his hair.
What are you talking about? I think it really does it for him. What do you think is in the case he is
carrying? It was at this moment the group of four girls walked up to Claus, who at once detected them
as he turned his gaze and looked at them with a gaze as cold as ice. The gaze of a killer when he sees
his prey before the trigger of his gun is pulled. It was at this moment that Claus turned around and
faced them as he said to the girls, Is there something you want?
Why are you dressed like that? asked one of the girls who was the same age as Claus. It was
clearly a military uniform of some kind. On the coat's name-tag was the inscription: V-06 C. Sonredna.
It was then that the four saw a badge that was the flag of the Soviet World Federation on each shoulder
of the coat. The four girls then saw the dead give-away: the inscription: SMKM. It was a real uniform
they were looking at. Who are you? demanded one of the girl as she looked Claus in the eyes as their
penetrating gaze matched her own. Turning around, Claus left their sight, but not before one of the girls
grabbed The Gun-case and took off with it along with the three others.
Waiting until they were out of sight of Claus , The girl that held the case set it down on the
ground and said to her friends, Now let's what we have here, as she opened the case. Getting the case
wide open, the four went pale as they all saw the SMG. My god, said one of the girls as she picked
up the weapon and looked at it. Seeing the blast marks on the muzzle, she said, This has been used
recently! Seeing Claus enter the ally, the four girls saw Claus walk up to the girl that held his weapon,
and snatched it from her as they heard Claus say to them, -Forget all about this. It is a part of me
that people like you should never learn about.
Grabbing the gun-case, Claus packed the gun away to hear one of the girls ask him, Then why
is your hair white, Claus? At least tell us that. Claus' face became stiff as he looked at her and said in
reply, -The things I did and still do today turned it white. Claus did not feel like telling them about
his life's story. It was also the same with Shirley, Zack, and the others. Claus did not feel like telling
them things like seeing the look on one's face when he ended them, or see seeing those he kill both crap
their pants and wet themselves when they died and also smelling that. Deciding to continue on his way,
Claus glanced at them and said, -It's not something I ever would like to talk about anyways, as he
walked away.
The four girls were all agape at the sight of Claus as he walked away from them. Claus looked
very different from how they saw him at school. Deciding to ignore Claus' advice to them, the four girls
then decided to tail Claus as he walked to the police station to look for work to do for them. Following
Claus, the four girls saw Zargare catch up to him. Following them for a few minutes more, the four
girls saw Claus and Zargare walk into the police station. Following Claus And Zargare into the police
station, the four girls saw Claus looking intently at the bounty-board with Zargare. It was at this
moment they saw him tear away one of the posters and take it to the front desk. Digging through his
pocket, the four girls saw Claus pull out his wallet, and flashed it before the eyes of the two police
officerswho both went pale upon seeing the wallet before them.
It was at this moment that the two police officers phoned their Superior And then said to Claus
and Zargare, Go to the back. Doing just that, Claus met with the Police chief who looked at Claus
and said to him, What can I do for you, Mr. Sonredna? -I'm here to do your dirty work, sir,
answered Claus. What do you mean our dirty work? -You do have a few bounties on your board
out front. I'm here for more information on them so I may go and bring them in to collect their
bounty, replied Claus. I see, said the police chief as he raised his brow and said, I'll have Someone
drive you out there, but you do know that everyone who went before never came backat least not in
one piece. -I Understand, said Claus as he grinned and said, -I'm not like the other who came
before me.
-----------------------
Claus sat at the back of the Van as they watched Claus prepare his SMG for use. It was two
police officers that watched Claus as he slid in a clip and cocked the gun. Are you sure you won't need
help, Sir? -Nope, answered Claus as he pointed his Weapon at the back door of the van and looked
down the sight. Zargare hung from Claus' neck in the form of a star shaped piece of jewelry. we're
here! yelled the driver of the van as it came to a stop in front of a factory that had been turned into a
fortress. Opening the back door to the van, Claus and the two SWAT troopers as well as four more got
out of the Van. Claus looked at the building before him, and began to laugh. Taking out a metal case,
Claus opened it, and took out a set of photographs. Looking over Claus' shoulder, the two solders saw it
was pictures of girls as well as a group photograph of female solders that had Claus as the only guy
there clearly shown as part of the Group. They then saw a tear fall from Claus' face as he put the
photographs away in the tin box, closed it, and then tucked the box away in the pocket of his coat.
-let's go, said Claus to the six SWAT solders as the seven of them entered the building.
Chapter 13.
Claus and the six SWAT troopers entered the building. Claus heard through his ECE that they
had been seen from listening to their radio noise. Turning to his men, Claus said to them electronicly,
-Be ready. They know we're here. And just how do you know this? asked the squad leader. Glaring
at him, Claus said, -They have radio. And I communicate electronicly by nature as I have
Electronic communications equipment installed in my brain. It was at this moment that Claus heard
footsteps from the enemy moving towards them. -Hide yourselves! They're coming our way! The
men did just that as Claus screwed on a silencer onto the muzzle of his SMG. Seeing the first man dash
within an arm's reach of himself, Claus grabbed him, and then killed him by breaking his neck with a
head twist. There was then the smell of shit in the air as the body soiled itself upon death. Dragging the
body, Claus set it in a corner, and waited for the others to dash through as well.
It was at this moment that a group of four gunmen burst out into Claus' sights as he opened fire
onto themcutting down all four in a single, and plastering the wall next to them with their blood.
Moving into the hallway, Claus signaled for the other to follow. As the moved along, one of the men
said to another, This guy is good at this. Claus could hear from the radio noise that there was more
heading their way. Seeing another enemy, Claus saw him jump in surprise, but shook, and then fell to
the floor as Claus shot him with a stream of bullets. It was the same as Claus moved from hall to hall,
and room to room killing everyone he saw who an enemy. At took twenty minutes, but Claus had found
and killed the bounty. Carrying the body back to the van, Claus threw it in the back of the van. As they
drove back to the police station. The six looked at the body that lay at the floor of the van. Claus only
sat in his seat and looked out the back window as if this whole mission was just another day for him.
Which was truein a manner of speaking. Digging through the pocket of his coat, Claus dug
out that same tin that had the photos a few of the troopers had seen earlier. Opening the tin box again,
Claus took out the same group photo, and looked at it. Who's those chicks? asked one of the
Troopers. Claus gave him a dirty look as he then raised an eyebrow and looked at the man as he said in
reply, -My unit that I fought in during an anti-insurgency campaign in Europe. Jesus, said
another one of the men that sat near Claus as he then said to Claus, So That makes you a vet then.
How old were you when you fought this war? -I was eleven. Although I was an adult since the age
of four when the turned me into an adult by their machines.Goddamn, said one of the policemen
as he said, That makes you quite the bad-ass. Claus only nodded. It was at this moment that one of
the men there asked Claus, Were you in Germany at all? -The only thing we saw there was
graveyards that were once towns and cities when we passed through in our trucks. There was no-
one there that I could see.
------------------
Claus and Zargare returned to the hotel room. Claus at once rushed off to the bathroom and
closed the door behind him. Tears at once began to fall from his eyes as Claus punched the wall. 'Why?'
Claus asked himself. It was at this moment that Zargare entered the room and embraced Claus form
behind and said to him, <It's okay, Claus. It's just chance what happened to your people back there.
No-one could have predicted that outcome. Not even me.> It was at this moment that Claus for the
first time in his life, used his voice as he whispered to Zargare, <Dankon.> Zargare smiled as she
remembered that phrase.
The next day at school, Claus and Irenica walked along. Claus knew everyone learned of what
he did the day before. Claus had had read this in the newspaper as did most everyone else. That was
some news story, said Irenica as Claus blushed. Reaching the school, Both Claus and Irenica could see
everyone there just glaring at Claus. NO body even dared approach him or Irenica. Reaching the
classroom, Claus and Irenica sat down in their seats and waited for the class to begin. Claus blushed as
he looked at Irenica's figure. Averting his gaze, Claus thought about how attractive Irenica was. Zargare
was quite attractive as well. It was at his moment that the teacher entered the room and asked that all
eyes to be on him as he began to speak about the anti-insurgency campaign in Europe.
The first statements were rubbish as Claus could see that they were based on the public
information the Soviet federation provided the outside world. Getting to his feet, Claus raised his hand,
and the teacher asked him, If you don't mind, Mr. Sonredna, I'm in the middle of a lecture. -I was
there, sir. The actual story is very different from as you're telling it. Mind if I share? There was
dead silence as all eyes were at once on Claus. The teacher was agape as he looked at Claus as if he
were insane with his face completely pale. Getting to his feet, Claus walked to the center of the room as
he began to speak and tell the exact story of how it actually was.
------------------------
Five years ago.
<We're going to Europe,> said the girl with excitement as she walked with her friend. <But I
do hear that our new commander is something else,> said her friend with a grin. <let's go see her,>
she said as she led her friend by the hand. Reaching the room, the two girls opened the door, and saw a
man in there. Barging in, she said, <What!? Who the hell are you and why don't you have a monitor
with you?> Turning his gaze onto them, Claus said to them in reply, -I'm your commander. I am V-
06. As for my monitor, I have KI-03 right there. Who might you be? The girl blushed as she said in
reply, <I'm sergeant Amo Nu. I apologize for not knowing who you were, sir.> Claus only nodded. It
was indeed his first time being a commander of a military group. It was at this moment that Kielko said
to Claus, -Why did you call me a monitor? -I had to say something, Kielko. I know this kind of
people far better than you do. Amo walked up to Claus, and got herself a better a better look at him.
Looking back at her, Claus saw she was very attractive. The soviets had decided not to give him
progesterone like they did the other men.
----------------------
The time for dinner came, and both Claus and Kielko walked to the mess-hall. Getting there, the
two looked at the women that would be under his command. Getting some food for both himself and
his raven, Claus sat down at a table as both he and Kielko began to eat. Claus could see that he was at
once the center of everyone's attention as the the women glared at him with mixed emotions on their
faces. None of them gave him the time of day. Seeing this, Kielko asked Claus, -Do you know what
their problem is? -Men like myself are always under the constant supervision of a monitor
whereas I am not. I have you with me, so I don't need a monitor, Kielko. -I see. They don't trust
you, Claus. -Don't remind me. It was at this moment that a group of them walked up to Claus and
said, <What the hell are you doing here without your monitor, Male?> Claus looked at her as if she
were insane as he said to her in reply, -I don't need a monitor. And I'm also the man in charge here.
This statement enraged this woman as she said to Claus, <What?! I'll have to let you know that
I am the commander of this army group. Now if you don't prove that you have reason to be here, I'll
have you imprisoned!> Claus did not know how how to scream or speak. So he instead dug through
his coat and handed the bitch his transfer slip. Snatching the sheet from Claus' hand, the woman read it,
and then grew pale. It was at this moment that she said to Claus, <My apologies, sir. I was out of
line.> Claus then asked her, -What is your name? Tensing, the woman blushed as she said to Claus in
reply, <It's Euriko, sir.> It was at this moment that Claus asked Euriko, -How old are you, Euriko?
<I'm five, sir,> answered Euriko as she sat down at the table facing Claus.
Scanning Claus with her eyes, Euriko looked at Claus' collar and asked him, <Why is it you
don't speak like the rest of us do?> -I never learned how, said Claus in reply as he heard Euriko
giggle and say to him, <Is that so? Now. What's your name?> -It's V-06. <That's a name?> asked
Euriko as she got more and more interested in Claus. It was at this moment that Claus said to Euriko,
-It's the only name the brass allows me to go by. I am one of the numbers after all. Euriko was
agape as she said, <One of the numbers?> -Yes. And that means I more than good enough, and
have what it takes for the role as Commander of this military group. Giggling, Euriko got to her
feet as she said to Claus, Claus blushed as he watched her leave. -Some girl, said
Kielko as she hopped onto Claus Shoulder and looked into his eye.
--------------------
The number of female solders Claus found that he had under his command was the better part
of three hundred. And Claus took his job of commanding them very seriously. A month went by and
Claus was met by one of the head generals who told him that several of the satellite countries in Europe
had declared their independence from the Soviet World Federation, and Claus and his small force was
being sent there. When the general had left, Claus walked to the mess hall of the base and got some
beer to drink. It was at this moment Euriko show up and sat down next to Claus and said to him,
<Claus! I didn't expect to find you here at this time. And drinking no less.> -We're going to war,
Euriko. We head out in thirty hours to the European States. <You can't be serious,> said Euriko.
Euriko could see that Claus was indeed serious as this was the first time Euriko saw Claus drinking.
--------------------
The first year was nothing to brag about as Claus and his group stayed in the reserve behind the
main force. Another year passed before word reached Claus the America had entered the conflict and
had landed forces on the area of Ireland and England. A week later, Claus and his group was ordered to
England itself to fight directly with the Americans. Both Claus and Euriko had gotten quite close
during the last two years, and she was the one Claus would turn to for advice. During one such time,
Claus asked Euriko, -Why do we fight, Euriko? Euriko shrugged as she said in reply, <It was what I
was made to do Claus, But I don't know about you. How we're you made?> -I was conceived,
brought to term, and then born, Euriko. <Sounds perverse if you ask me, Claus?> Smiling, Claus
said to Euriko, -You're one to talk. There was shock on Euriko's face as she said, <What are you
saying?> as she walked over To Claus and sat down next to him. It was at this moment that Claus deep
kissed Euriko. Euriko blushed as she looked into Claus' eyes. It was at this moment that the two
became intimate. Climaxing and finishing several minutes later, Euriko asked Claus, <Why did you do
that to me?>
-I just wanted to experience what humans in America call love. I hope you did not mind at
all. Euriko got up from the cot and got redressed. Claus did the same as the both left Claus' quarters. A
week later, Claus and his group were ordered into a city in which Claus was told in the briefing was
where the main force of the rebels resided. As Claus and his force entered the city, his intuition told
him that something was wrongvery wrong. Within the hour, Claus and his force found that they had
walked right into the den on the main American force. The intelligence division had blew it. Claus and
his force held out for the next five days, but were quickly being worn down by the sheer weight of the
enemy's numbersalmost always being outnumbered fifteen to one in every firefight.
On the fifth day, Euriko was badly hurt. Seeing that there was no further options left to him,
Claus ordered a nuclear strike on the city itselfwiping out the American forceand taking his own
along for the ride. Only he and Euriko were the only survivors as Claus took shelter with Euriko from
the blast. Both Claus and Euriko made it back to Soviet territory, but at a cost. Euriko could no longer
walk on her own, and was from then forward confined to a wheelchair. Claus on the other hand, had
gone mentally ill from his actions, as well as being court-marshaled upon his return. Claus was found
guilty upon the charges of favoritism, intimacy, cowardice, and deliberately causing the deaths of his
entire force. Claus was stripped of his rank, and then sent back to his research base. A year later, a
cease-fire was signed, And Claus was sent to Alaska as reparations as a condition of the cease-fire.
-------------------------
Claus had finished telling the class about this, and he receive no shortage of people glaring at
him with contempt. As Claus returned to his seat, he saw a few of the girls there were crying. A few
minutes later, Claus and Irenica left the classroom and entered the hallway. It was at this moment that
one of the girls Claus saw crying in the classroom walked to him, grabbed him by the shirt, and said to
him, You killed my daddy. -I don't know what you're talking about, said Claus in reply. This
answer did not appease this girl as she began to Throttle the collar of his shirt and said to Claus, You
were there! My daddy was there! You dropped the nuke on him and killed him! -I had no choice! I
don't care! screamed the girl, Give me my daddy back!
-I was following orders. I had no choice! I've would had been shot if I disobeyed. I had no
choice god dammit! Claus was pale as his entire body trembled. Is that all you can say? asked the
girl as she looked into Claus' eyes and screamed at him, I hate you! Pounding away at Claus' chest,
the girl screamed, I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! Walking away from Claus, The girl said, I hope
you die soon, but that would be too good for you. You better hope that you don't see me again, you
mass murderer! Deciding that he had as much as he could take, Claus left the school and headed back
to the hotel. Getting there, Claus laid on the bed and cried.
----------------------
Chapter 14.
It took a full year for things to calm down. During that year, Claus had mastered his abilities as
a mimesis. Claus had moved into an apartment of his own from the money he earn from working with
the police and had succeeded in dramatically reducing the crime levels on the streets. Claus had
thought about his past a lot. Every time he slept, he would remember those solders he commanded. The
one thought that went through Claus' head was, 'If I had only done it differently, they might still be
around.' Claus still had pictures of his women, Euriko, and a black book that had their names. Zargare
would watch Claus read over his book every night. A week later, Claus checked the mail, and saw a
letter from the Soviet World Federation.
Taking the letter up to the apartment, Claus opened it, read it, and smiled. It was a letter from
Euriko. She was coming to the US on a goodwill visit, and would arrive in two days. In short, it was an
order slip that assigning both Claus and Zargare as Euriko's bodyguards as Euriko was now an envoy of
the SWF. Entering the room, Zargare saw Claus smiling and asked, What has gotten you so excited?
-Euriko is coming here in two days to visit. <What?! You mean your sweetheart from your time in
the Soviet army?> asked Zargare as she walked up to Claus and saw him nod. Zargare was speechless
as she snatched the sheet from Claus' hands and read it herself. Laying back on the bed, Zargare stared
up at the ceiling and said, <Well. Orders are orders. It does also mean they want you back in the
military, Claus.> -Now that I find surprising.
----------------------
The day came, and both Claus and Zargare was there. Nearby was a transport plane. It was at
this moment that the ramp lowered, and out came a young woman who was in a wheelchair pushed by
a man who too had a number on his forehead. It was then that the man pushed the girl up to both Claus
and Zargae as he said to Claus, -Well; if it isn't the V-06. I'm V-18. It is nice to finally meet you in
person. Like Claus, this V-18 spoke through a collar. It was at this moment Claus said, -I don't believe
we've met. -We were matured in different bases entirely, so that is understandable. It was at this
moment that Euriko stepped in and said, <Niko. I'm very happy to see you again.> -As am I,
Euriko. It's been several years since I last saw you, said Claus as he embraced Euriko and heard her
say to him, <God I've missed you. Why don't we go back to your place, Niko.>
----------------------
Arriving at his apartment, Claus opened the door as V-18 pushed Euriko in. Closing the door,
Claus showed V-18 to a chair and allowed him to sit. Claus then got V-18 a bottle of beer and sat down
with him. Turning to Euriko, Claus asked her, -Can I get you something? Shaking her head, Euriko
said to Claus in reply, <That's okay. We already ate.> Nodding Claus heard V-18 ask him, -So. How
have you been getting by here? I did here you were discharged from the army. I'm actually to
blame for that, said Euriko, <Claus and I were lovers.> V-18 looked surprised as he asked Euriko,
-you two were intimate? If I understand, that is a violation of Soviet law. As far as things go,
intimacy is very unnecessary as we manufacture the people we need. Euriko giggled, as she said to
V-18, <It's okay. V-18 is only three years old after all.> -I see, said Claus as he checked the time and
asked Euriko and V-18, -Would you two like to come to class with me today?
--------------------------
Claus, V-18, and Euriko entered the school building as Claus said to V-18 electronicly,
-Remember. This is a place of peace. Do not draw out any weapons you may carry with you. -I
understand. Claus could see people wowing as they laid eyes onto Euriko. Arriving at the classroom,
Claus held the door open for Euriko as her chair rolled in under her control. Claus saw that girl was
there. Noticing Claus she averted her gaze. It was at this moment a boy walked up to Euriko and asked
her, Hello. What's your name? Smiling, Euriko looked at him and said to the boy in reply, I'm
Euriko. An Envoy of the SWF. It's very nice to meet you. What is your name? The boy grew pale as
he said, You're Claus' girlfriend from that story of his. Oh. You must be talking about conflict I took
part in that caused the cease-fire, answered Euriko with a smile, Well. I'm here on a goodwill visit to
make sure such a thing does not repeat.
At once a bunch of girls walked up to Euriko. That girl also walked up to Euriko and said to her,
And do you think your cease-fire can bring back my father? To this Euriko said, Claus did not know
and neither did I. You don't even know what it was like there during those five days of hell. Claus paid
a price unimaginable to any of you. He buried what remains he could find, and then carried me on his
back all the way back to safe territory. My legs were crushed when debris fell on me during the
fighting. I can no longer walk, Claus on the other hand always smiled before that war. He was happy.
When we returned home, that smile was gone. Something had died in him that day. The court-marshal
was the last straw for Claus as his mind was shattered when I saw him walk out of that courtroom after
the court-marshal. And that was the last I saw of him until now. By the time Euriko had finished
speaking, tears were flowing down her cheeks.
The girl's eyes trembled as she thought, 'Why am I even feeling sorry for him?' I'm sorry about
what happened to your father, but what happen cannot be undone. Claus desperately wants to bring
back his solders. I know because Zargare told me that every night he reads a list of their names and
looks at their pictures. And he carries those with him everywhere he goes. It was at this moment the
Girl walked up to Claus and Apologized to him as she said, I'm really sorry about what I said to you.
Claus nodded as he said, -I don't feel like talking about it. Smiling, the girl walked back to her seat. It
was at this moment that V-18 said to Claus, -Who was that girl? -Just somebody who has held a
grudge. -I see.
--------------
Lunch-time came, and the three came to the cafeteria to eat. V-18 could see that the women
there were leering at him. It was at this moment that one of the girls said to another, Oh my god. He's
so dreamy. I know what you mean, said another. Here's an idea, said one of the girls, Why don't
we ask him out. What?! You mean I make the first move? Why not? From what I hear, that boy is
only going to be here for a short time, so we must strike the iron while it is still hot. The girl started to
get nervous and she said to her friends, But I'm not really ready to talk to him. Ah; don't be a baby!
I'll introduce you, she said as she grabbed her friend's hand and lead her over to V-18. It was at this
moment that they saw both Claus and Euriko leave the cafeteria together. This looks interesting, said
one of the girls who then said, Let's follow them and see what they're up to.
------------------
-Time to give you your legs back, said Claus. Euriko was quite surprised as she said to Claus,
<What?! The doctors told me that the damage done to my legs is irreversible. I don't see how you can
do anything.> -Well. I am a mimesis. You'll be on your feet before you know it. Walking up to
Euriko, Claus embraced her, and then shined was a blinding light as his hair turned purple and Claus
morphed around Euriko's body as he got to work rebuilding the bones in Euriko's legs. 'no wonder she
can't walk. The bone healed incorrectly.' Claus also found he had to rebuild the muscles in her legs as
well do to the fact that they had atrophied to almost nothing. Twenty minutes later, Claus had finish his
surgical work on Euriko's legs and separated from her body as he morphed back into his original form.
-I'm all done, said Claus as he looked tired. It was at this moment that Euriko rose from her
chair and took a few steps before falling and being caught by Claus. Lifting Euriko up with a cradle-
hold, Claus set her back down in her wheelchair as he heard her say to him, That was the first time in
several years I was able to use my legs. Euriko blushed as she then saw Claus Collapse onto her lap.
Claus looked Exhausted. It was at this moment Euriko asked him, are you okay, Claus? -I'll be fine.
I used many of the cells from my muscles to rebuild your legs. But you will have to relearn how to
walk. It was at this moment that the group of girls that had watched this rushed up to Claus and said to
him, That was amazing. How did you do it?
Claus looked up them, as he said, -All I did to was disassembled the bones in Euriko's legs
cell by cell, and then reassembled those bones cell by cell using my nano-machines. I also rebuilt
her leg muscles by transferring some of the cells from my own muscles. You'd wouldnt believe
what jumbled mess her legs were before I completed my surgery. Euriko is fine now; but she will
have to learn how to walk again. Should take her about two weeks. It was at this moment that Claus
fell asleep. Walking up to Euriko, the lead girl said to her, Claus does not seem like a bad guy to me.
Smiling, Euriko said to her, You are right. Claus is a very good man. I think doing things like this and
working with the police of this country is his way of atoning for his actions during that war we both
fought in.
It was then that Claus' body then morphed into a purple ball that was ten centimeters across.
Smiling, Euriko said, <Was I hurt that badly?> What happened to him? asked the girl as she picked
up the ball and looked at it. It was at this moment that Euriko said to her in reply, He's regenerating.
It's a form of sleep a mimesis does when they receive enough damage. They change into this form as
their body undergoes repair in their subspace pockets. He will come around in a week or less, so you
don't have to worry. What's a mimesis? asked the girl. A mimesis is an autonomous shape-shifting
weapons system that was developed by the Atlantians some fifteen-thousand years ago. They're
produced by combining an angle with a mortal life-form, a computer, and a host of nano-machinesa
'universal weapon' in other words, said Euriko as she grabbed the ball from her and said to her, And
he is not a toy.
May I ask you something, Euriko? said the girl as she looked down at her. Yes, said Euriko
in reply. Would it be okay if my friend went on a double date with Claus, yourself, and that guy you're
with? Euriko nodded as she smiled and said, Sure. That would be nice. Does a week from now sound
fine with you? The girl smiled as she said, Sure. I'll let Claus pick the place. See you later, as she
dashed out of site. Walking up to the girl she was about to introduce to Claus, the girl said to her, You
have a date, Elisha. Elisha blushed as she said, What?! You mean I'm going to have dinner with that
boy? You sure will, she said as the two of them decided to go to their next class early.
Six days later, Claus's body returned to it's original form as he sat up in bed. Causing clothing to
morph around his body, Claus walked to the kitchen and saw Euriko there preparing a meal. <Hey. I
see that you've finally come around. Are you feeling okay, Claus?> Claus nodded as he asked Euriko,
-Where is V-18? <At School. As for Zargare, Irenica, Milgare, and that girl named Shirley, they're
back at the Soviet World federation. As for V-18, he will join them when our date is over. Zargare
thinks that you can complete your training as a mimesis on your own here on out. As for our orders,
we're to live togetherjust to give the brass updates on your status. I am also to tell you that you're
reinstated as part of the Soviet military and your order are to guard me. And after six months, we are to
return to the Soviet World federation where you'll complete your training.>
-I see. What did Zargare tell you? Asked Claus as he walked up to Euriko. Smirking, Euriko
said to Claus in reply, <She told me Everythingincluding the fact that you have a match with the
devil herself in four years, and that the Devil has Kielko as collateral to make sure that you make good
on your agreement.> -Don't remind me, said Claus as he averted his gaze and blushed. -What's this
about a date? <Well; a girl asked V-18 out, so I thought that it would be better if it was a double date
so that you and I can get up to speed about what has gone on during the last seven years.> -I see,
said Claus as he walked up to Euriko and said to her, -I see that you're walking again. Nodding,
Euriko said, <It's also the reason why V-18 has decided to return home in two days. With a mimesis
around, He feels his presence is no longer needed here. It also means we can spend a lot more time
together.>
It was at this moment that the door opened and V-18 walked through as he said, -I'm home.
<Welcome home, Urko,> said Euriko as she smiled and said, <Dinner will be ready shortly.>
Nodding, Urko noticed Claus standing there and said to him, -I see that your body is done with its
repairs, Claus. That sure was something rebuilding her legs like you did. It really was the first
time something of that sort was performed. I can't thank you enough. -What about our date
tomorrow, Urko? -Well. I don't really have any interest in what they call romance; but I will
make good on that appointment. I also will be heading home the day after the date takes place as
I'm no longer needed here with you around. -I see, said Claus as he walked into the living room.
It was then that Urko sat down with Claus as the two of them looked out the window and
listened to the sound of the city. -I will miss this place. It sure was fun. -I know what you mean,
Urko. There's something to be said for the lives the people here lead. It's rather nice. -That is
true, Claus, but I still think our masters have the right idea in their practices. For one, I am the
same age as young child here, but am a mature adult. It took several weeks to manufacture me,
but I was indeed ready to go the moment I was createdalthough I'm still inexperienced. I guess
that's what the people here call a child. Walking into the room, Euriko handed them both a plate of
food as she sat down with a plate of her own to join the discussion.
It was at this moment that Euriko said to the two, <But the three of would be considered
children under the laws of this country given our ages. I myself is eleven, while Urko is four, and Claus
here is fifteen. So; as far as I'm concerned it does not matter in this society so long as you look the part
and act it.> Claus nodded as he said, -You have a point. By the way, Euriko, where will our date
be? <In the restaurant you go to everyday to have your decaffeinated coffee. I have to say that you
sure are a creature of habit, Claus. I really do hope that you don't mind me choosing the place for
you.>
Shaking his head, Claus said, -I think that going to be the place I would have chosen myself.
<Good,> said Euriko who smiled and then said, <It's settled then.>
-----------------------
Elisha sat at a table and blushed. She was dressed in a example of her best clothes. Nearby at a
different table sat her friend who watched over her. It was at this moment that the door to the restaurant
opened, and in walked Claus, Urko, and Euriko. It was then that the three walked over to her table and
sat down. The seat Urko chose was the one that faced Elisha herself at the other side of the table.
Blushing, Elisha said to Urko, I see that you're here. Are you doing okay? Urko nodded as he said to
Elisha in reply, -Yes. I am in perfect shape as is a requirement of my being in the Soviet Military.
Looking into Urko's eyes, Elisha asked him, Have you ever been in a war like Claus has? -No.
Unlike Claus, I've never been given a command of one of the active Army groups. Like the other
numbers Today, I'm in mothball status until the next war.
So you've never killed anybody? asked Elisha as she heard Urko say to her in reply, -Not yet.
And If I ever do in a war, like Claus, It would never be by choice. Elisha felt relieved to hear these
words. This Urko seemed like a true gentleman to her. Smiling, Elisha said to Urko, I like you Urko.
-Thank you, said Urko. Smiling, Elisha asked Claus and Euriko as she smirked, So; you two. I'm
dying to know how you two met. -You did hear my story from a year ago? Nope, said Elisha as
she said to them, I myself want to hear it. It was at this moment that Euriko stepped in and said to her
in reply, Claus and I met in the army. At the time, he and I were of the same rank. Did I hear that
you two were lovers. How was heClaus I mean? Smiling, Euriko said, He was great, but Claus was
stripped of his rank because of the love we shared. Such thing are unlawful where I come from. 'It
disrupts social order' they say.
What?! exclaimed Elisha, Then how did you came to be? In a manner of speaking, Elisha,
I was made in a factoryas was Urko and Irenica. And for us Soviets, We are born ready to begin the
tasks we were manufactured for. It really is not all that bad, Elisha. but why? asked Elisha who then
heard Euriko ask her, Have you every heard of the great patriotic war at all, Elisha? Elisha shook her
head as she heard Euriko say to her, It was the war the forged the Soviet World Federation and nearly
drove the human race to extinction by the use of Atomic weapon used by both sides. By the war's end
ten years after its start, most of the men were dead and it was mostly women who were fighting the last
battles. Zargare and Milgare came to our aid and gave us the means to manufacture our people while at
the same time, it was decided the total male population was to never exceed 5% of the total population
of a stateas a measure to make sure that never again would the world be destroyed by war. And at
this same time, the Territories occupied by Soviet troops were declared part of the Soviet Union. A year
later, the state renamed itself the Soviet World Federation.
But have things gotten better? asked Elisha. Pursing her lips, Euriko said to Elisha, For the
most part; but the are usually treated like last week's leftovers as they are the ones who were blamed for
starting The war that brought about the Soviet World Federation. I myself don't think it's right how
they're treated, but that's life where I come from, Elisha. And the men that are there are constantly
monitored by the state. In spite of all this, the goal of preventing another world war has come to pass.
Elisha shrugged as she said, Well. That does answer my question. When does Urko go home?
-I return to the Soviet World Federation tomorrow. Elisha did not look happy to hear that as
she said, Too bad. I was hoping I could get to know you a bit better. Let me guess: Duty calls. Urko
nodded as he heard Elisha ask Claus, And what about you? -I stay in this country for another six
months before I am to return to the Soviet World Federation. That is some good news at least,
said Elisha, I think I might ask you out sometime in the near future, Claus. Claus blushed as he
placed his order for the food. When the food arrived, Claus at once began to eat. Claus allowed the
others to chat as he ate. It was one of the habits he acquired during the war. And Claus really had no
need for speech as he never learned how to speak, but instead Communicated using his built-in
electronics. When the meal was done, Claus left the table as he walked along outside the restaurant
under the arcade. It soon came to pass that Euriko and Urko joined him as the three returned to Claus'
apartment. When tomorrow came, Both Claus and Euriko saw him off at the airport. The next six
months were about to get interesting.
-----------------------------
Chapter 15.
Both Claus and Euriko awoke in bed together. <That was some night,> said Euriko as she got
out of bed and dressed. Claus did the same as he walked in the kitchen and began to prepare breakfast.
As Claus cooked the meal at the stove, Euriko walked up beside him and looked over his shoulder as
smelled the food and smiled as she said, <It does smell pretty good, Claus.> Claus smiled as he said
to her, -Well; I did learn to cook during this period of exile. The ones I cooked for did enjoy my
meals I made for them. Looking at the pan Claus was using, Euriko wowed as she saw the quality of
the pan being used. <Where did you get that pan?> Asked Euriko as she looked at Claus.
-I produced it, said Claus with a smile. Completing preparations of the meal, Claus produced
two plates and then began to place the food onto the plates. Walking to the table with the two plates of
food, Claus set them down onto the table and then began to eat. Walking up to the table herself, Euriko
sat down in a chair as she herself began to eat. Oh my god, said Euriko, This is really good.
Nodding, Claus said to Euriko, -Thank you. Finishing their meal, Both claus and Euriko took a shower
together, Finished their shower, redressed, and then left for school. Walking along the sidewalk, the
Euriko looked at Claus and Blushed. Twenty minutes later, The two reached the school.
By this time, Claus had become very renowned in his part-time job working for the police; and
had a handsome rate of pay for his services. Some of the police officers even began to go to the same
Restaurant as Clausalthough Claus kept to himself most times and only talked to them when they
spoke to him. At one point one of them asked Claus, So where are you headed to? -Back to the
SWF. Back to being a solder, Claus? asked one of the men. Claus smiled as he said to them, -The
wars are over for me. They tossed me out. If I do go back into the military, It is for sure not going
to be as a solder.
I see, said the man as he asked, Do you have a photo of your solders with you? Claus
nodded. This man had seen the picture box before as he was with Claus when he first began working
with the police. Digging through his coat, Claus took out that very same tin box and opened it. Claus
then handed the photographs to the man. Looking at the photographs, the man came across a picture of
Claus and Euriko together in their casual clothing during one of the times they were off duty. Isn't this
Euriko, Claus? Claus nodded as he said to him in reply, -Yes. That was her and myself during the
war. The man cat-called at the photograph as he said, I just don't know how you do it. -It's just
chance really; said Claus and he took back the photographs. It was at this moment that he asked Claus,
How old was she at the time? Euriko I mean.
-She was Five; said Claus in reply as he looked at him as if he was insane and then said to
Claus, Impossible. You two look like adults to me in that picture. It was at this moment that Claus
decided to tell him a fact about Soviets as he said to him, -Unlike you, Euriko was made in a factory;
and born as an adult ready for the life she was made for. As for myself, They matured me into an
adult when I was brought there, and replaced my name. At the time of the photograph you saw, I
was ten. The man rolled his eyes as glared at Claus was blatant disbelief. Concluding that he was
wasting his time, Claus got up from table, paid for his drink, and then left the pub. Walking back to his
Apartment, Claus saw Euriko was there. Walking up to her, Claus kissed her and then walked over to
bed and laid down.
-We leave for the SWF at the end of the week; said Claus as he looked at Euriko who sat
down next to him and said, <But the end of the week is the day after tomorrow, Claus.> Claus
nodded as he said, -I know. I am going to sleep for now. It was at this moment that Claus shined with
a bright light and morphed into a red ball as he began to sleep. Embracing to ball, Euriko kissed it as
she said, Euriko then scooted back against the wall with her back to it as she
clasped her knees with her hands. Moving her legs, Euriko remembered that she'd almost had forgotten
what it was like not being able to walk.
------------------
What?! exclaimed Elisha as said to Euriko, You're leaving with Claus for the Soviet World
Federation tomorrow? Euriko nodded as she heard Elisha ask her, Where's Claus now? With me,
answered Euriko as she extended her hand and removed the bracelet from her wrist and handed it to
Elisha as she said to her, This is him here. Taking the Bracelet, Elisha heard it say to her, -I would
like for you to hand me back to Euriko. Not so fast, Claus, said Elisha as she grinned and asked
him, Why are you so eager to head back to that place? Didn't they toss you out six years ago? -I'm a
tool, Elisha, as you can see. They need me to create for themalthough I cannot tell you because
it's classified concerning exactly what it is.
Can at least give me a generalization of what you'll be creating, Claus? asked Elisha as heard
the bracelet say to her, -Life. It was at this moment that Elisha exclaimed, What?! What do you mean
'life.' That does not tell me anything, you boy. It was then that Euriko said to Elisha, What he means
is life-forms like myself, Elisha. He's going to working for the place in-charge of designing new
humans like myselfbut Claus Claus is going to do something very different from what I just
described. That's the most I can tell you, Elisha. The rest is very classified. Claus would have to kill
you if he told you. Elisha at once grew pale as she handed the bracelet back to Euriko who put it back
onto her wrist.
You're mean, said Elisha as she gave the bracelet a dirty look as she then snatched it away
from Euriko's hand and broke into a run. Elisha then left the school as she put on the bracelet. Claus at
once said, -what are you doing?! Making sure that you don't get away from me, Claus. I just don't
want you to leave, said Elisha as she kissed the bracelet. Claus was speechless. A moment later, Claus
said, -but I can't stay here, Elisha. Would you stop with that! I love you, Claus, said Elisha as she
sat down against the wall of a building and then said, If you won't stay, I'm coming with you. -You
don't know enough to be useful to the SWF. You would only get in the way of--
I don't care! screamed Elisha, Then teach me what I need to know. You can do that. Can't
you? There was silence, and then the bracelet shined as it then morphed into a crown. Putting on the
crown, Elisha heard Claus ask her, -Are you sure you want to go through with this? Nodding, Elisha
said, Yes. -This will hurt; said Claus as the Crown shined brightly and Elisha screamed as she felt
pain serge through her brain as image after image flashed through her mind's eye. An Hour later, the
light stopped, and Elisha laid on the ground out cold. Reverting to his original form, Claus carried
Elisha back to his apartment. Euriko saw Claus walk through the front door with Elisha strung over his
shoulder. <Well. Look what the cat dragged in. Just how did you get away?> asked Euriko as she
watched Claus lay Elisha out on the bed. -I injected her brain with a library of Atlantian knowledge
of genetics. She did want to come with us, so I thought I'd honor her wishes.
<The wonders of you never end,> said Euriko as she herself sat on the bed. It was at this
moment that Claus walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. It was time to dispose of
spent nano-machines. Stepping into the bath tub, a silver liquid began to pour away from Claus' body.
Walking into the Bathroom, Euriko saw this and grew stiff as she asked Claus, <What are you
doing?!> -I am disposing of my spent nano-machines. <What!? Really?> asked Euriko as she
walked over to the tub and submerged her hand in the silver water. It was at this moment that Euriko
asked Claus, <What do these guys look like, Claus?>
-Do you want to find out, Euriko? Asked Claus as he finished his task and got out of the tub.
Walking over to Euriko, Claus shined with a bright light as he morphed into a microscope into midair
and landed right into Euriko's hand. It was at this moment that Euriko set Claus onto the table as she
got a cup from the kitchen. Entering the bathroom, Euriko used her cup, and scooped up some of the
used nano-machines. This this over to the table, Euriko place some of the silver water over a slide, and
then placed this under the lens of the microscope. Looking through the microscope, Euriko saw what
looked like a host a centipedes that each had a jaw of several instruments. Most of them did not move,
and these looked broken down. Euriko thought they looked cute.
<Awe! They look adorable, Claus,> said Euriko as she patted the microscope with her hand.
It was at this moment that Elisha came around as she sat up in the bed and looked around. Clutching
her forehead, Elisha found that it felt as if she had a bad hangover. It was at this moment that Elisha
heard Euriko say to her, Ah. I see that you've awoken. Where am I? asked Elisha as she got out of
bed and walked towards the table. It was at this moment that Euriko smiled as she said to Elisha in
reply, You're at Claus' apartment. Although we'll leave here altogether tomorrow morning for the
Soviet World Federation. I see, said Elisha as she asked Euriko, Where's Claus? I don't know what
he did to me, but my head feels like it's about to explode.
-I am right here, Elisha; said the microscope as it sat on the table. Walking Towards the Table,
Elisha heard Euriko say to her, I'm right now looking at some of Claus' nano-machines under a
microscope. Would you like to see, Elisha? Nodding, Elisha walked over to the table, and then looked
through the microscope and say what Euriko saw as she said, What the hell are those? They look like
gross bugs! -I assure you that they're pretty harmless to you. The ones you see there are ones
that are about to cease. I did just got done dumping a twenty liters of waste nano-machines into
the bath-tub; said Claus as he reverted to his original form and walked with Elisha to the bath-tub to
show her the silver Water.
Getting there, Elisha looked down into the tub and saw it filled with the silver water. Getting to
her knees, Elisha submerged her hand into the water, as she said, It seems a bit sad, really. Are these
alive in any way? Elisha looked up at Claus as she heard him say to her in reply, -Yes and no. They're
robots. The ones in that tub are too old and broken to be of use to me any longer. Is there a way
to fix them? -Not that I know of, Elisha. Whenever I get low, I consume a live organism and use
its cells to manufacture more nano-machines. The same way a virus reproduces as my nano-
machines were developed from a virus by the Atlantians all those centuries before. The original
method they used to produce the first nano-machines were lost with the fall of Atlantis. Now that
I think about it, It seems the loss of that technology was purposeful in some way.
I see, said Elisha as she smirked and asked, Can I keep some of these to find a way to fix
them? Claus Shined briefly as a bottle appeared in his hand as he handed this to Elisha who used it to
collect some of the Silver water. Capping the bottle, Elisha smiled at Claus as she said to him, Come
to thing of it, those little robots did look a bit cute. And before we leave for the SWF, We're going out
on a date. Just you and me, Claus. But before we go, I need you to do something for me. Would you be
a dear and make a dress for me? I don't have any that look quite right. Claus nodded as he grabbed
Elisha's hands as he morphed around her body and began to look through his database of woman's
clothing. Analyzing Elisha's body, Claus chose the dress, stockings, and shoes that would make her
look the most attractive to men, and then morphed into that very outfit as he then poured away from the
dress; and morphed back into his original form.
Claus then morphed into a mirror, and then allowed Elisha to check out her new outfit. Seeing
her new outfit, Elisha wowed as she called Euriko over. Walking over, Euriko said, Claus did a really
good job making that for you, Elisha. You look so cute and adorable in that dress of yours. It was at
this moment that Claus reverted back into his original form and jumped as Elisha grabbed him by the
wrist and led his out the door as Euriko asked the two, Where are you two going in such a hurry?
Smiling at Euriko, Elisha said to her, Claus and I are going on a date together. rolling her eyes,
Euriko said, Why am I not surprised? Glaring at Claus, Euriko walked up to him and said, And why
did you not tell me you had a thing going with this girl?
Claus at once blushed as He ran off with Elisha. Seeing this, Euriko yelled, Claus! You get
back here, as she ran after them. As they ran Elisha saw Euriko was catching up. Reaching the outside
of the building, Claus morphed into a motorcycle as he said to Elisha, -Hop On! Doing this, the bike at
once picked up speed as they sped away top speed from EurikoWho quickly ran out of steam and
collapsed onto the pavement. Getting to her feet, Euriko screamed in their direction as she got to the
sidewalk. Goddamn that Claus! said Euriko as she began to walk to the restaurant she had a pretty
good idea where the two would be at. Grinning, Euriko gritted her teeth as she said, Just wait until I
arrive, you two. I'll be sure to make your meal the most interesting one you'll ever have.
----------------------
Claus drove Elisha to his favorite restaurant. Getting there, Claus morphed into his original
form and Walked beside Elisha as they entered the building. Everyone at once turned their gaze onto
the two as the walked in and sat at a table. Both of them smiled at each other as they waited for the
waiter to arrive at the table. It was at this moment that Euriko entered the restaurant, looked around,
saw them, and then walked over to the table as she joined them. It was at this moment that Elisha asked
Euriko, How did you know we'd be here? I just did, said Euriko in reply as she said to both Claus
and Elisha, After all, I know Claus pretty well. Once there is a place he likes, He will go there pretty-
much everyday. I also happen to know that Claus is kind enough that he'll be buying dinner for us; so
pick what ever you want as money is no object to Claus.
Really? asked Elisha as she looked intently at Euriko who slid in next to Claus. Claus looked
at Euriko as if she were insane as she grabbed Claus by his collar as she said into his ear, Consider this
payment for cheating on me. Claus at once grew pale as he got as far into the booth as possible. It was
at this moment that the waiter got to the table and asked them what they wanted to eat. Euriko chose
the most expensive item on the menu as she got Elisha to do the same.
Claus wanted to yell at these two. It was at this moment that Claus stared off into the distance as
he thought about the day. Claus never was what one would call sociable. It was then that the food
arrived, and both Euriko and Elisha began to eat. Claus only had a minor portion of food as he no
longer needed as much food as he used to need. Twenty minutes later, The bill arrived and Claus went
pale. Turning to Euriko, Claus saw her grinning as he asked her, -Can we split costs, Euriko? Turning
to the waiter, Euriko said to him, It seems Claus here does not have enough money and as willing to
work to pay off the cost of the meal. Claus gave Euriko a dirty look as the waiter asked him, Would
you mind coming with me, sir?
Claus gritted his teeth as he got to his feet and walked into the kitchen with the waiter. Reaching
the kitchen, Claus looked around, and then walked to the sink. Getting there, Claus saw he had his
work cut out for him. Setting both hands onto the sink, Claus' body shined with a blinding light as the
dishes were engulfed and at once were made clean. It was at this moment that Claus walked over to the
range and the other appliances, and engulfed them as he began to upgrade those very appliances with
his nano-machines. Five minutes later, Claus was done as he walked over to the cook and said to him,
-These should work a lot better for you now. The cook thanked Claus as he placed a bar of gold on
the manager's desk and said to him, -This is a gift for you, said Claus as he left and met up with Euriko
and Elisha. -Let's go home; said Claus as the three left the restaurant.
-----------------
Chapter 16.
You have a lot of balls showing up here, said Lucifa as Milgare walked into the room with
Irenica. Milgare smirked as he said to Lucifa, I'm just here to here your side of the story about getting
that Claus to agree to your terms. Lucifa smirked as she walked up to Milgare and stroked his chin
with her finger as she asked him, And what is it you want to know, My dear Milgare? You do know I
require a price for everything when it comes to my dealings? Milgare grinned as he said to Lucifa in
reply, Does giving me a front-row seat in your tournament sound like a good payment to you,
Lucifa? Lucifa just laughed as she said, Fair enough. What do you want to know?
How did you get him to agree, Lucifa? Asked Milgare. Simple. I took his raven as collateral
seeing how much the brat cares about her, Said Lucifa as her guards brought Kielko into sight of
both Milgare and Irenica. Milgare then walked over to Kielko as he asked her, Enjoying your stay
here, Kielko? As Milgare said this, he could see the fire in her eyes as she asked Milgare, When will
Claus get me out of here? I'll take that as a no then, said Milgare with his face as blank as ever.
Kielko grew pale as she saw this and then said to Milgare, You aren't even human! Oh course I'm
not human. Just as your beloved Claus is no longer human. Ah; but I don't think you're even able to
accept that at this point.
Kielko then made a run towards Milgarewho spun out of the way of this attack and tripped
Kielko as she fell to the floor. How pointless, said Milgare as he watched Kielko get to her feet.
How dare you speak of him like that! yelled Kielko. It is true, said Milgare, Once one become a
mimesis, there's no turning back for them ever. Unlike Zargare, myself, and Irenica, It was a choice
Claus made himself. Kielko only glared at Milgare with raw contempt on her face. It was at this
moment that Milgare and Irenica left the room as Kielko fell to her knees and began to sob. Seeing this,
the guards began to laugh at Kielko. It was at this moment that Lucifa raised her hand, and the guards
stopped their laughter. Lucifa herself then left the room as she smiled and thought to herself, 'Those
mimesis have always been an interesting sort. Fighting Claus is now my one desire.'
------------------
Elisha, Claus, and Euriko arrived at Claus' house back in Anchorage Alaska. Unlocking the
door, they were met by Shirley who embraced Claus as she said welcome home. Not much has
happened since Milgare brought me back here. I am glad to see you again, Claus. Claus only nodded
as he entered the house with Euriko and Elisha. Is this your house, Claus? asked Elisha as she looked
around and and then smiled as she said, It's a very nice place. It was at this moment that Shirley
walked into the dinning room, sat down at the table as Claus himself sat and heard Shirley ask him,
What brings you back here, Claus? I thought you were on your way back to the Soviet World
Federation.
I am, said Claus using his voice, I'm just making a stop here. I know that I won't be coming
back here for a while. Claus' voice was both effeminate and heavily accented with an Esperanto
accent. And it was clear that he Almost never used his voice, and instead spoke through his collar
almost always. Euriko had heard Claus' voice before; but it only during extreme privacy, and only to
those he absolutely trusted. This was indeed a very rare occasion. Having heard Claus' voice, Elisha
wowed as she asked Claus, Is that what you really sound like? -Yes; said Claus as he looked away.
Elisha then said, What!? Why would you use your voice, Claus? -I don't trust you; said
Claus in reply. Elisha gave Claus a dirty look as she said to him, You're so mean, Claus. He does
have a point, Elisha, said Euriko as she saw Elisha just glare at her and said, What are you saying?
Euriko walked over to Elisha and said to her, What I am saying is that I know Claus on an intimate
level. He has never used his voice to speak to anybody he does not know. Elisha just pouted as she
crossed her arms and averted his gazed away from Euriko. It was at this moment that Claus got to his
feet and left the room. He did not really feel like listening to the two girls argue over what he saw as
mere rubbish.
Claus then walked upstairs and enter his room as he sat in his bed. It was at this moment that
Claus reached into one of his subspace pockets and pulled out a book as he opened it and began to read.
The room felt different to him as he every once in a while got to his feet and paced about the room as
he then sat back down on the bed and continued to read. Three hours later, Claus had finished reading
his book and put it away in a subspace pocket as he left the room and went downstairs. Getting there,
Claus entered the kitchen and then got to work using his abilities as a mimesis to prepare the meal.
Claus did enjoy cooking, and twenty minutes later, finished preparing the meal as he began to set the
plates onto the table.
Claus then called everyone to the table as he himself sat down at the table and waited for the
others to join him. Moments later, Elisha, Euriko, Shirley, Zack, and the others showed up at the table
and sat down as everyone of them saw the food before them. Zack saw Claus sitting at the at the table
as he smiled and said, About time you got back, Claus. Claus nodded as he himself began to eat.
Tasting his food, Claus thought about how good of a job he did on it. Elisha, tasting the food, said,
Wow! This is unlike anything I've ever had, Claus. This is really good! -Thank you; said Claus as he
finished his meal. Getting up from the table, Looked though his inventory of items stored away in his
subspace pockets. Claus did have more gold than one could shake a stick at. And it was at this moment
that Claus walked to the store-room of the house, and added a pile of gold as large as a man was tall in
the room's center.
It was at this moment that Claus called Shirley into the room as he said to her, This here is to
pay the taxes on the house as well as your expected expenses. Shirley was agape as she walked up to
the pile of gold and picked up one of the bars as she examined it. Where did you get all of this? asked
Shirley as she looked at Claus who said to her in reply, I had my nano-machines manufacture all of
this gold that you see before you. It is not much really. You must really trust me to be using your
voice, Claus, said Shirley as she walked up to him. I do, said Claus, I don't even know when I'll be
coming back here. I'm giving my house to you, Shirley. Will you ever go to war again, Claus, like
you did last time you were there? asked Shirley.
Claus shook his head as he said to Shirley in reply, I will never be a solder again. There's good
reason they tossed me out. My mind shattered from it all. I'm going back there to create instead of
destroy. But You do look fine to me, said Shirley. Claus sobbed as he shook his head and said to her,
The wars are over for me. You can glue back together a shattered mirror, but that mirror will never
reflect the same again. But they did do a good job putting you back together, said Shirley. I'm not
the same! yelled Claus, I nuked My whole Battalion to win that battle, Shirley. You did what you
had to do, Claus! said Shirley who Claus about to open his and then deep kissed him to Stop Claus
from speaking. Claus' body then relaxed as he sobbed on Shirley's shoulder.
---------------
The next day came, and Claus, Euriko, and Elisha walked out the front door. Shirley stepped out
the front door as she waved goodbye to them. Claus too waved goodbye to his friend as the three of
them walked down the walkway towards the street. It was at this moment that Claus heard Euriko say
to him, Time to change, Claus. Claus nodded as his body shined with a bright light as he morphed
into a motorcycle. It was at this moment that both Euriko and Elisha hopped onto Claus as the Bike
started its engine and began to drive away. Claus decided that they'd reach the Soviet world federation
by a plane that they'd sent. Reaching they airport, Claus drove onto the runway and then returned to his
original form as the three of them both heard and saw the Soviet plane making a landing.
---------------
Claus, Elisha, and Euriko boarded the plane the moment it came to a stop. Claus had his
uniform on as he boarded the plane. Both Euriko and Elisha followed. The first thing Elisha noticed
was the crew was all female that spoke in a language she had never heard before. The words they spoke
had the same accent she hear within Claus' voice the time she heard him speak. It was at this moment
these woman noticed Elisha as they began to point at her and make comments in their language.
Turning to Euriko, Elisha asked her, What language are they speaking? It's Esperanto: the official
language of the Soviet World Federation. It also happens to be Claus' first language. It was at this
moment that Euriko walked up to the women and said to them, <We're under orders to take both V-06
and that girl to a location I will provide. The high-command has authorized the girl to come with us due
to her acquired knowledge given to her by V-06. Your orders are to take the three of us back to the
SWF as quickly as possible.> <Understood,> said the women as they prepared the plane to take off.
-------------------
It took little more than three minutes for the plane to get airborne. Claus could see that the
women there glared at him with contempt on their faces. 'I forgot about this,' thought Claus as he
looked out the window of the plane. Euriko had told him that it would be a two-day trip to the Soviet
World federation; and Claus knew that the women before him would be bent on making his trip very
interesting in every way they could think of. Claus hated that fact about those Soviets. Claus could see
the reason before him why Milgare suppressed his emotions. Why bother dealing with their verbal
attacks? The more Claus thought about it, the more Claus thought how interesting his new assignment
was going to be made by the Soviet women.
It was at this moment that Claus got to his feet as he began to pace about the plane's interior. As
Claus paced, he thought about what it would be like to finally return to his home of mixed blessings.
He could see the reason in front of him why Milgare isolated him. It was to spare him what Milgare
and likely what most of the men of the Soviet World federation went through on a near daily basis. It
was at this moment that one of the women walked up to Claus and asked him, <Why are you here?>
-What do you mean? The woman was taken aback upon hearing the mechanical voice that sounded
through the collar. <Just who the hell are you?> demanded the woman as she glared as Claus. -My
title is V-06. I'm a mimesis; Answered Claus. <We need only one mimesis: Zargare,> Said the
woman. Claus looked at her as if she was insane as he said to her, -What do you mean one? said Euriko as she stepped into the conversation in Claus' defense, <He
is unlike the other mimesis in a big way.>
<You have no right to interfere with my knocking some sense into this animal, Euriko,>
hissed the woman as she glared at Euriko. Euriko laughed as she said to her, <And what would you do
if I told you that 'animal' there has vastly greater manner than those you're using now.> The woman
smirked at Euriko as she said to her, <Big talkfor a baby.> <And what have you ever done with
yourself?> asked Euriko as she smirked at the bitch as she said to her, <You may be a few years
older, but I've still greater status than you have at this point in my life. And if it wasn't for Claus there, I
would still be confined to that damned wheelchair.>
Realizing that she could not win, the woman walked away from them. It was at this moment
that Euriko said to Claus, <I'm sorry about how my people are treating you, Claus. They see men as
the cause of the world's problems and as such use this as an excuse for doing the inexcusable
themselves to men.> -How long has it been like that? <For ten years after the founding of the
Soviet world Federation,> said Euriko in reply as Elisha stepped in and said, <What just
happened?> It was at this moment that Claus told Elisha what was said. Hearing this, Elisha said,
What?! Now that's just wrong! Claus nodded.
----------------
The women did not let up on their attacks on Claus in their quest to prove their superiority over
him. Getting sick of their verbal attacks, Claus had morphed into a red bracelet that Elisha wore around
her wrist. Claus talked to Elisha through her skin and stayed in his current form until the plane arrived
at the base. When the plane landed at the base, Claus became a fifteen centimeter-tall version of
himself as he sat on Elisha's shoulder. Elisha blushed as she looked over at him. It was at this moment
that they boarded the bus as Claus reverted to him original form and then boarded the bus. During the
trip here, Claus had injected both the workings and vocabulary of Esperanto into Elisha's brain.
All three of them sat together in a single bench-seat. It was at this moment that the bus began to
move as it left the airbase. Claus knew where they would be going. They were going to his old home
where he was raised by the Soviets. Ten minutes later, the bus came to a stop at the bus terminal. Claus,
Euriko, and Elisha got off the bus as they walked to where the base was. Elisha looked as a boy in a
candy shop as she looked around at the people around her. A few moment later, the three came to a wall
that was at least five-stories high and stretched for at least a full kilometer. -We're here; said Claus as
he led them to the gate.
--------------------
Chapter 17
Elisha wowed as she, Euriko, and Claus walked through the gate. From what Elisha could see, it
was a very large base. And she did not know that this was only the tip of the iceberg. Entering the main
entry, the three of them came the an lift and entered. This brought back many memories. The first was
the day left left the Soviet World Federation for Alaska under escort. The second was when he left the
base to accept his posting as a solder in the Soviet Army. And now he was back. It was at this moment
that Claus activated the left and began to descend to the lowest level. His first stop would be to meet
with Norjo as his monitor Mildred.
It was at this moment that the lift arrived at the lowest level as the three of the got off the lift.
Claus knew where Norjo worked. As the three of them walked, Elisha saw Claus' hair-color change to a
medium purple. As this happened, Elisha could see the women around them grow pale. <It's a
mimesis,> said they as they gave Claus a wide berth and made no attempt to interfere with him in any
way. A few moments later, the three of them came to Norjo's office and entered. Mildrea was the first to
notice Claus as he walked in with both Euriko and Claus. <Can I help you?> asked Mildred as she
looked Claus in the eyes.
-I'm dark-mimesis Claus Nosredna. Number title V-06 ready to begin my assignment here;
said Claus in reply. It was at this moment that Norjo noticed Claus as he said to him, <Ah. V-06 I did
not expect you to return before you said you would. But I am now glad to see you here again. I trust
things are going well. Who's the girl that is with you?> -So you see that I brought help. Elisha is
one who wanted to come here; so I gave here the knowledge needed to work on the project.
<What is the project he's talking about?> asked Elisha. Smiling, Norjo smiled at Elisha as he said to
her in reply, <The project the two of you are assigned to is one to create a life-form to fight in all of
our future wars given the lessons learned from the revolution we suppressed with heavy casualties
one of which was V-06. I can tell you That I am glad to him him back in our ranks.>
Seeing Mildred typing away on what looked like a pad. Walking up to her, Elisha asked her,
<And why are you here?> <I'm here under orders to record everything that is said and heard by
Norjo. I'm his monitor.> <Is that so,> said Elisha as she nodded and said, Mildred's face when completely blank for a few moment as she then gave
Elisha a puzzled look as she asked Elisha, <What gives you the idea that I am pretty?> A look of
shock swept over Elisha's face as she blushed and said to Mildred, <Because you are. Hasn't anybody
told you that before?> Mildred shook her head as she said to Elisha, 
At a loss for words, Elisha backed away as she said to Claus, I just don't get her. It was at this
moment that Claus said to Elisha, They're all like this. The soviets don't seek the same types of
relationships like the girls where you're from do. They are manufactured and as such make no attempt
to attract a partner as they will never have any need of one. What?! exclaimed Elisha as she went
agape. Turning to Euriko, Elisha heard Euriko say to her, Every word of it is true. Mildred knew
English and listened to them. It was at this moment Mildred walked up to Elisha and said to her, So
that is why you've asked me what you did. I have to say that fact about you is one of the things I hate
about you Americans. So if there is nothing else, The orders for you three are to report to HAMW D
where both V-06 and yourself will begin your work. That is all.
----------------
Claus decided to check out his old living space before reporting to his assigned wing. A few
moments later, the three of them came to a door that looked like the entry to an airlock with the letters
V-06 on its surface. Opening the door. Claus entered the space and looked around. Elisha too entered.
Elisha could see this place looked like a paradise she had seen in the advertisements for tropical resorts
in magazines she had read. It was at this moment that Elisha said, Wow! What is this place? It's big.
-It is where I hung my hat while I lived in the Soviet World Federation. This dome is 150 meters
in diameter. Elisha at once ran into the space as she wowed and said, There's a swimming pool here!
Claus could hear that the Electronic conversation between the ravens there was about Elisha.
It was at this moment that Claus told them The Elisha was a friend of his. Claus then walked to
where the pool was as he sat down. Elisha saw Claus sitting down by the pool as she walked over to
him and sat down as well. It was at this moment that Several raven flew down and landed at Claus' feet
as they turned their gaze upon his face. -It's been years since we last saw you. Who's the female? -She
is somebody I've brought with me. -How interesting. What's her name? -Elisha. It was at this
moment that Elisha asked Claus, What are you doing, Claus? -I'm talking to them. Would you like
to join our chat? Elisha nodded as Claus' hand shined with a bright light, and radio with an attached
microphone appeared on the palm of Claus' hand.
Handing the radio to Elisha, Claus handed it to Elisha as he said to her, -Don't worry about
turning it as I've already done that for you. Just turn on the device and speak into microphone
when you press the red button at the base of the microphone's cord. Nodding, Elisha turned on the
radio as she heard a voice say to her, -Who are you? I am Elisha, she said in reply as Elisha then
asked, Where are you? It was at this moment that one of the ravens hopped onto Elisha's lap as she
heard through the radio, -I'm right here. My name is Notise. Claus gave me this name. Do you like it?
Elisha nodded as she smiled as said to Notise, It is a nice name. How long have you lived here? -I
was born here. Although I was only three when Claus came here to live with us.
-Notise. Elisha and I have to go for a little while; But we will be back later today. As Claus
said this, there was a pause and then Notise said, -Okay. I'll see you later then. It was at this moment
that both Claus and Elisha left the habitat and began to make their way to their assigned wing. I have
to say how many friends you have here, Claus. I think it's nice, said Elisha as she looked at Claus and
smiled. Claus nodded as the two of them walked to the wing. Getting there, Both Claus and Elisha
stepped into the lab where Elisha saw it was all women there apart from a single man that talked to his
monitor. It was at this moment that this man noticed them both as he walked up to them and said,
<Ah; V-06. What can we do for you today? Are you here for a upgrade?>
-I'm here as the new head of this team; said Claus in reply. The man nodded as his monitor
walked up to his side. It was at this moment that the man said, -The premier himself; said Claus in reply. There was shock on his face as the
women there walked up to Claus to get answers. <What?!> demanded one of them as she asked
Claus, <And what qualifications do you have to run this group?> -I'm a mimesis. From what Elisha
could see, the word mimesis had a magical effect on everyone there as they all nodded and said to
Claus, <We're sorry for questioning you. What are your orders for us?> -We are to create a new
class of life-form for use as a weapon; but I'm not sure about the details yet.
It was at this moment that Claus walked over to a work-station and sat down. It was at this
moment that Claus called over the man and his monitor as he asked them, -I need to know the access
code to enter the database of the department's existing designs. Nodding, the man told Claus them
as he typed them into the keyboard. It was then that Elisha walked over to the three as she asked them,
<May I take a look?> Claus nodded. Elisha could see that it was details about humans that were
designed here. From what Elisha could see, the differences were little more than minute between
designs. It was at this moment that Claus smiled as he turned around and said to the people there, -I
have an idea what we could make next.
<And may I ask what you have in mind, V-06?> asked the man as he saw Claus open up to
design program and say to him, -You'll all see in a minute; as he began to enter data into the computer.
Claus decided he was going to abandon traditional design altogether in his creationhis masterpiece.
Claus Decided he was going to make this creature dramatically different from a human: No gender for
one as he was going to make them androgynous monotremesan egg-laying creature with both
genders rolled into one package. He was also going to give them a maturation-rate that was 28% faster
than humans with the fact of them reaching adult size by their fifth year, and beginning reproduction by
their tenthnamely by the method of selfing (internal self fertilization). Claus also gave them the
ability to regenerate lost tissue, as well as Cells that commit suicide upon viral infection. AS for their
skeletal structure, Claus made them cartilaginous as well as making them several times stronger than
humans.
It was at this moment that Claus saved his design into the database which then appeared on the
screen as he asked his team, -Well; What do all of you think. Claus could here his team voicing their
amazement as they looked as they computer's preview of his design. It was then that The man said,
<Incredible! I would have never thought of something like this.> Smiling, Claus then submitted an
order for twenty of these new creatures who's design he titled: G-01; to the manufacturing branch of his
department. It was at this moment that the computer told him that all twenty would be ready in forty
days. Smiling, Claus got to his feet as he said to his team, -That should do it.
Claus could tell what he just did did not sit well with the man beside him who then said to him,
<Every design is supposed to be authorized first before they enter prototype production, V-06.> -So
what. I came here to do a job, and I did it. Besides. It's too late for that now. Let's see what they
think when we have something to present to them that walks on its own two legs. The man nodded
as he said, It was at this moment that Claus
got to his feet as he left the room. Claus decided he would head to the base's cafeteria. Getting there,
Claus got something to eat and then sat down at a table.
It was then that Claus began to eat. As he ate, Claus thought about how good the food was.
When Claus was almost done with his meal, He saw Irenica enter the room and notice him. Irenica at
once walked up to Claus and asked him, <What are you doing here?!> -I'm following my orders. I
did just complete my design and entered the prototype phase of the project with twenty
prototypes being manufactured. It really was easier than I first thought. <What?!> exclaimed
Irenica with a mix of surprise and shock on her face as she then asked Claus, <How did you get to that
phase so quickly? I'm still having trouble coming up with anything good.> Irenica pouted as she then
gave Claus a dirty look.
-I just did it is all. <You did what?!> said Irenica as she nearly fell over. Claus only shrugged
as to say, 'I don't see what the big deal is.' Smirking, Claus said, -It's not my fault I'm good at what I
do. Grabbing Claus by the wrist, Irenica pulled Claus to his feet as she began to lead him back to his
research wing. -Where are we going? Irenica just glared at Claus as she said to him, <Why to see
your work of course.> Claus could see the women there snickering at them as Irenica led Claus along.
Getting to Claus' lab, Irenica pulled Claus inside and let go of his wrist as she at once strode over to the
work-station and pulled up Claus' design data on the G-01. It was at this moment that Irenica said,
<What?! Just what the hell is this thing?> Irenica was agape as Claus walked over to Irenica and
looked over her shoulder. Irenica when pale as she saw the fact of this creature not even having two
genders.
<A hermaphrodite? You can be serious, Claus,> said Irenica as she blushed and looked Claus
in the eyes. It was then that Irenica raised her eyebrow as she saw the fact of these creatures lacking
any major form of free will. She did feel a bit better about that. Seeing confirmation that twenty of
them were already in production, Irenica said, <Too late to do anything about them now. I am a bit
jealous though. It does look promising. But why a hermaphrodite? You can at least answer me that one,
Claus.> -I designed them that way to spare them the same treatment they'd receive if the had
two gendersnamely if they were men living here. I'm pretty sure Milgare has told you about
thathow the women of this country treat him. I myself would never want anyone to go though
that if all possible.
 said Irenica as she got to her
feet to leave the room. -Don't you seem more mature than from the last time I saw you? Asked
Claus as he too got to his feet. Irenica nodded as she turned and said to Claus in reply, <Yes. I am now
fully mature as both a woman and a mimesis.> -I see; said Claus as he watched Irenica leave. It was at
this moment that one of Claus' women asked him, <You know Irenica?> Claus nodded. This woman
walked up to Claus as she smiled and said to him, <They never would let us talk to Irenica directly;
But we do know you very well. We were the team of scientists that raised you.> Claus nodded. He did
remember seeing them stand behind the glass during his time in the maze. -I'll be in my habitat if you
need me; said Claus as he left the room.
-----------------
Irenica wanted to scream at Claus. His creation was superior to anything She'd come up with
thus far. To this point, Irenica found that her creations were not up to snuff as far as the design
requirements went. It was at this moment that Irenica reached her lab and grinned as she sat down at
her work-station and began to design a creation of her own based off of Claus but with two genders. As
Irenica typed away at her keyboard, She decided to make her new creation a cat-human hybrid rather
than the echidna-human hybrids Claus had just entered into production. <Damn that Claus! He thinks
he can one-up me? Well; I show him the meaning of Soviet Technology and win out over him. This is a
contest after all,> said Irenica with a scowl on her face.
----------------
The wait of forty days flew by in what seemed like a week. On the day it came to See his
creation in person for the first time, Claus went by himself to cause his creations to imprint him as their
master. Walking to manufacturing department of his assigned wing, Claus saw that all twenty of them
were in the cryogenic storage-pods. Entering the room, Claus saw the pod that was labeled with the
number one and walked up to it. Looking at the body, Claus saw it was attractive in a way.
It was at this moment Claus began the procedure to wake his Creation. Walking up to the
console, Claus began to type away at the keyboard. It was then that Claus saw that she was now awake.
Walking up to the pod, Claus entered the code, and watched as the pod opened. It was at this moment
that she sat up and looked at Claus. Walking up to her, Claus laid his hand onto her scalp and began to
program her. Thirty seconds later, Claus kissed her on the mouth. It was at this moment She said to
Claus, <Master.> Pulling out Clothing form one of his subspace pockets, Claus Handed it to her and
said, <Put these on.> She nodded as she did just that. Claus then repeated with the other nineteen.
Within twenty minutes, All twenty of them were awake and had Imprinted Claus as their master.
Turning to the first one he had awaken, Claus said to her, <Come with me.> She nodded as
she dashed up to Claus' side and then followed him out the door. Claus then told the others there to stay
put as he closed the door behind him. Claus then turned to her and said, <I'm naming you Unua.>
Unua nodded as she said, <Master named me Unua.> Unua smiled as she heard Claus say to her,
<Lets go, Unua.> Unua smiled as she said, <Yes, master.> Unua looked happy as she walked along
side Claus. Claus decided to show off Unua to his team. Getting to his main lab, both Claus and Unua
entered. It was at this moment that Claus and walked up to the department's sub-head as Claus said to
him, -Here is the finished product.
Claus saw him wow as he scanned Unua's figure with his eyes. Upon hearing Claus speak, the
women there all dashed up to Unua and said, <Wow! So this is the G-01. She's so adorable! Red hair
and blue eyes even.> The women there began to lay their hands onto Unua who at once began to tense
as she said to Claus, <Master. Could you make them stop? They're scaring me.> Bursting through
them, Claus Grabbed Unua by the wrist as he picked her up in a cradle-hold and then dashed out the
door as Claus carried Unua to Norjo's office.
-----------------
Chapter 18
Unua blushed as Claus then put her down onto her feet. <Thank you for getting me out of
there, Master,> Said Unua as she looked into Claus' eyes. It was at this moment that Irenica Walked
with her own creation as she saw Claus with Unua. Dashing up to them, Irenica said to Claus,
<What!? Is that your creation?!> Claus tensed up as he heard Irenica's voice behind him. Seeing
Irenica, Unua turned her gaze onto her. Seeing Unua's cute face, Irenica blushed, and then walked up to
Unua as she embraced her as she said, <Why didn't you tell me she was such a cutie, Claus,> as
Irenica rubbed her knuckles on Unua's scalp.
It was at this moment that Claus sensed Irenica's own creation glaring at his as he walked up to
Claus and asked him, <So. What's your deal?> Claus looked at him and saw he looked like an elf
with the eyes and tail of a cat. -I would like to know your name? The boy gave Claus a puzzled look
as he said to Claus in reply, -Alright,
Irenica. It's time to present our creations to Norjo and his monitor. Claus looked over at Unua as
he saw that she desperately wanted to get away form Irenica. It was then that Unua used her strength as
she forced Irenica away from her by a single push. Giving Unua a dirty look, Irenica said to Unua,
<How dare you do that to me!> -Give her a break, Irenica. Unua is still brand new; said Claus as
Unua returned to his side. It was then that the four continued on their way to Norjo's office.
---------------
Claus and Unua were the first into Norjo's office. Both Mildred and Norjo were on their feet as
they walked up to Unua and examined her. Turning to Claus, Norjo asked him, <Why did you not
submit your design for approval before starting prototype production?> -I wanted to surprise you,
sir; said Claus in reply as he heard him say, Claus nodded as a hologram appeared over the palm of his hand. Looking at this, Norjo
said, Absolute obedience and hermaphroditic. I'm impressed. Mildred looked horrified upon hearing
the word hermaphroditic as she said to Claus, <Do you even know what that means?> -What it
means is that they will never have need of a monitor due to the fact of this nature. Plus they could
never rebel.
<And who is their master, V-06?> asked Mildred. -You're looking at him; said Claus as he
glared at Mildred. Mildred went pale as she then set her hands on her hips and gave Claus a dirty look.
Mildred then raised her eyebrow as she walked over to Unua as asked as she pointed to Claus, <Who
is he to you?> <He is my master. I live for my master and live to satisfy his every need,> said Unua
in reply as she looked at Claus and smiled at him. <And what is your name?> asked Mildred with a
smile. Looking at Mildred, Unua said, <Master named me Unua. Unua is the name master gave to me.
But I don't know master's name. What is your name, Master?> -My name is Claus, Unua; said Claus
in reply.
Walking over to Claus, Mildred smirked as she said to Claus in a mockery of good cheer,
<Well Claus! I expect you to set a good example for Unua and her sisters. It is one of your duties as a
mimesis here.> Claus face-palmed as he glared at Mildred with contempt on his face. It was at this
moment that Norjo said to Mildred, <Sounds like a plan,> said Mildred with a smile.
Claus returned with Unua to the room where the other nineteen were at. The last thing Mildred
had said to him was that he was on full charge of all G-01s that would be coming to the base. It was at
this moment that Unua asked Claus, <Is Claus happy about what is happening?> Claus nodded as he
said to Unua in reply, <Yes. I am very happy about what happened.> Unua giggled as she said to
Claus, <If master is happy, then I am happy.> Moments later, Claus returned to that room, opened the
door, and then entered. The nineteen that were there at once turned their attention to Claus who walked
up to each one and named them. When Claus had finished this, he called upon Dua who at once dashed
over to his side.
<Yes, Master?> asked Dua. Claus smiled as he said to Dua, <Let's take a walk with Unua,
Dua.> Dua nodded as she exited the room and walked beside Claus. Seeing Unua, Dua blushed as she
asked, <What name has our master given to you?> Unua too blushed as she said to Dua in reply,
<My name is Unua. What is yours?> said Dua as she walked up to Unua and gripped
her hands. It was at this moment that Claus said to the two, <Let's get something to eat.> The two
nodded as Claus told the other eighteen to join them. As the twenty-one walked to the cafeteria, Claus
could see the female solders glaring at them. <Why are they looking at us like that, Master?> asked
Unua with puzzlement on her face.
-It's because we're very different from them. It is not something many can ever get used
to; said Claus in reply with a frown. said both Unua and Dua as they
blushed and looked at Claus. <I'm glad that you don't,> said Claus as he turned his head around and
looked at the two. Turning his gaze back forward, Claus blushed as he thought about how cute they
looked. He sure did a fine job designing them, and he could tell that Irenica was quite envious of them.
It was at this moment that Claus saw Irenica with ten of her creations with her. Claus could tell that was
the total number of prototypes with her due to the fact that he could that half were male, and the other
half were female.
Claus rolled his eyes as he said to himself, now of all times? Claus decided to sit his group
down at a table. VK-01 was there as he noticed Unua with them as he said to himself, 'It's her again.'
<What is it, Uko?> asked one of the girls in his group. <It's her, again,> answered Uko as he
glanced over at Unua. Irenica heard his word and then said to Uko, Uko then got to his feet as he
walked up to Unua. Walking up to her, Uko said to Unua, <Hello. I'm happy to see you again.> Unua
turned and looked onto Uko's face as she smiled and said to Uko, <Who are you? My name is Unua.
It's a name master gave to me.>
 said Uko in reply as he smiled at Unua and said to her, <My
name is Uko.> Unua blushed as she said to Uko, <Nice name,> as she turned around and said,
 It was at this moment that Unua smirked as she
returned to her table. Uko did the same. As Unua returned to the table, she saw the others get to their
feet and walk towards the serving counter to get their meals. One by one, all twenty of them got
something to eat from the counter, and then returned to the table with their trays of food as they sat
down and began to eat. Unua too began to eat as she food that the food was quite good. Unua then
asked herself, 'Why is master treating us so well?'
It was then that one of the female solders walked into the room and then walked up to Claus as
she said to him, <Sir. I have bunk assignments for the twenty G-01s. AS their commander, you are
free to give them the order yourself.> Claus nodded as he said to her, -I understand. The woman
nodded as she handed Claus a slip of paper as she then turned around and left the room. Claus looked at
Unua and Dua as he gestured for those two to come with him. Both Unua and Dua got to their feet as
they both followed Claus outside the room. It was at this moment that Claus said to them, as he handed Unua
the slip of paper. Unua looked at the slip as she then handed it to Dua. Nodding, both Unua and Dua
said to Claus, <We will go here forthwith, Master.> <You can go when the twenty of you are done
eating. I don't want any of you to face any unneeded hardship. Those are your orders for now. You can
call me if you have any questions for me.>
----------------
Unua, Dua, and the eighteen others reported to their room which consisted of three rows of
bunks. They could see that there were enough bunks for all eighteen of them. Unua chose a bunk and
sat down on it. Dua decided to choose a bunk that was right above Unua. Dua smiled as she looked
down at Unua and said to her, <We're all lucky to have such a kind master. He treats us all well.> It
was at this moment that another, Kvara jumped into the conversation as she said to the two, <But I do
feel that our master his more orders for us. I have to say how happy I will be satisfying master in any
way he asks us to. And he has yet to ask us to offer our bodies to him. We're his slaves after all, and
Claus is our master. A good looking master!>
Everyone there voiced their agreement, their desire to offer themselves to Claus, and how best
to serve and satisfy both his desires and needs. It was at this moment that Elisha walked into the room,
Looked at them, and then wowed as she walked up to Kvina and said to her, Wow! So you're Claus'
pride and joy. It's very nice to meet you. I'm Elisha.> Kvina gave Elisha a puzzled look as she asked
her, <How do you know our master? Are you trying to undermine our bond-ship to him? Because if
you are, I ask that you leave.> <What did you just say?> exclaimed Elisha as she looked at Kvina as
if she were insane as she then asked Kvina, <And why are you calling Claus your master anyways.
Did he do something funny to you?>
Kvina giggled as she said to Elisha, <What do you mean? Claus is our master, and we are his
slaves. And I am going to do my very best to satisfy his every desire.> Kvina then smirked as she
looked into Elisha's eyes with a smug look on her face. Elisha Clenched her teeth as she looked around
at the lot of them and then asked them, <You can't be serious! Is she pulling my leg?> Unua got to
her feet as she walked up to Elisha and said to her in reply, <She's very right, Elisha. Our master's
words are the one thing we cannot ever disobey. His orders are absolute. And everyone of us are more
than happy to carry them out as nothing else makes happier than having a master and being his toolas
well as satisfying his every wish and desire. For if master is happy, then we are happy.>
Elisha went pale. It was at this moment that Elisha left the room and at once headed to the
design lab. Getting there, Elisha overview their design and saw that they indeed had the trait of
absolute obedience. Elisha trembled in her seat as she said, Why, Claus? Claus then entered the room
and then sat down at another work-station as he began to type into the keyboard.
Elisha at once got to her feet as she dashed over to Claus and said to him, Claus! Why the hell
did you design them like that? Claus turned his gaze onto Elisha as he said to her in reply, The G-01
you mean? Elisha looked pissed as she crossed her arms and spat, That's exactly what I'm talking
about, Claus! Why the hell did you not give them free will? It does not seem right. They're a product,
Elisha. The purpose of Unua and the nineteen others are tools to murder with. This isn't candy-land,
Elisha. I myself share the same purpose of Unua. I too am a weapon: one known as a mimesis. I am on
the clock right now, Elisha; so if this is not important, I ask that you leave me be.
Elisha wanted to scream at Claus. She had more questions than answers. Deciding that she
could not stand the sight of Claus, Elisha left the room as tears streamed down from her eyes. Claus of
course was so absorbed by his work that he did not give this a second thought. He was just too busy to
care. Elisha ran down the hallway for a few moments before she bumped into Irenica. Irenica at once
sensed that Elisha was upset about something as she asked her, <Are you okay?> Elisha then looked
up at Irenica as she heard Irenica say to her, <You're from Claus' team. Did something happen?>
Elisha shook her head as she said to Irenica in reply, <Would you like to join me for a drink? If you like I could tell you his reasons. I do not quite
a bit about Claus,> asked Irenica as she helped Elisha to her feet.
--------------------
Elisha sat at a table as Irenica poured her some coffee into a cup. <Thank you,> said Elisha as
she took a sip of her coffee. <So,> said Irenica as she looked at Elisha and asked her, <What has
you so upset?> To this Elisha blushed as she said to Irenica, <It's the G-01. Claus gave them no real
form of free will! I find myself not accepting that. It's not something I find okay.> <And are they
unhappy about that?> asked Irenica who saw Elisha shake her head as she said, <NO; but I just don't
see how anybody could even be happy about that! People are meant to be free to make their own
choices.> <And what if I told you that nobody living here is free?> asked Irenica who saw shock
flash over Elisha's face as she asked Irenica, <What are you saying?!>
<The Soviet World Federation is a communist state. This is a place were the lives people live
here are decided for them before they're even maderight down to how they live and spend their
leisure. So, It is a blessing not to have free will living here,> said Irenica. Elisha blushed as she shook
her head and said to Irenica, 
Irenica nodded as she said, <Both Claus and myself are weaponsas is both Zargare and Milgare. We
are what's known as a mimesis: a universal item. We are one of the old relic technologies from Atlantis.
Many of the technologies used here in the Soviet World Federation are examples of the relic
technologies brought back on two Atlantian-built star-ships. It was the technologies and both Zargare
and Milgare that was a major factor in what made the Soviet World Federation what it is today.>
 Elisha as she got to her feet and she smiled at Irenica as she said to her, <Thank you
for the coffee. I feel better.> <Please do your best to forgive Claus. This place is not very welcoming
to men in general. Like Milgare, He does go through a lot almost every day,> said Irenica with a
smile. Smiling, Elisha waved as she said, as she left the room and returned to her own.
Walking over to her bed, Irenica sat down as she smirked and said, <Be glad that I'm willing to forgive
you, Claus, for I am the one who'll they'll use to make you life quite interesting when the games
start.>
Chapter 19
Over the next month, Unua, Dua, and the other eighteen fully matured. A week after that, Claus
had the pleasure of seeing the first fifty production models enter the base. With each passing week, a
new group of seventy-five would join their ranks. After a period of two months with each group being
more in number, Claus had a brigade worth in number of 1,500 G-01s. Claus then started the task of
organizing his force. Out of the 1,500, Claus formed a brigade of 1,237. To avoid conflicts of interest
among his newly acquired solders, Claus grouped his force around even numbers and established his
own system of rank: a squad would have nine total. Eight bonders: A name for the lowest rank of slave
solder, and a squad-master to lead them. The next level up in force was a platoon. This had two squads
and a platoon-master.
The next up from the platoon was the company. This had four platoons and led by the company-
master. The next level up was the battalion. This had four companies and led by the battalion-master.
And lastly was the brigade. This had four battalions and led by the brigade-master. The role of brigade-
master Claus assigned to one of the newest G-01s that had recently arrived. As for the remaining 263
G-01s, Claus assigned them as his personal battalion of slave-solders led by himself. As for Unua and
the nineteen, Their role was as his own personal slaves. Satisfied with how things were, Claus modified
his habitat to accommodate the twenty. The next day, Claus with his brigade-master and said to her, Claus had a squad with him. Claus saw Aki nod as she
said to Claus, <Not just yet. I want to walk with you for a
bit. Want to join me for a chat as we walk?> Aki Nodded.
--------------------
Aki really enjoyed the chat both she and Claus shared. said Claus as he looked down at Aki. Claus could see that like the
others of her species, Aki was head and shoulders shorter than he was. And like her sisters she her red
hair, blue eyes, and milky-white skin. And Auki, like the others, was attractive as wellin a manner of
speaking. It was at this moment that Aki asked Claus, <May I ask what your new orders are for me,
master?> <romantic activity only between those of your own rank, and I want all of you to multiply
by generating offspring. This new rule shall never be broken. As your grand master, I command you to
implement this new order as soon as you return to command of you subordinates.> Aki nodded as
she said to Claus in reply, <As you wish master,> as she left to obey Claus. Seeing her leave, Claus
smiled as he said to himself, 'This is going to be a fun experience.'
Claus had taken the liberty of installing IBCs in all his G-01s. He did feel nostalgic about the
whole experience of creating this new intelligent species. Claus could tell that his people were already
taking full advantage of their computers as Claus listened to their conversations that took place. It was
at this moment that Claus received an electronic message telling for to at one report the Norjo's office.
Getting there, Claus entered and saw it was the premier himself with his monitor along side him.
Seeing Claus, the premier asked his monitor something inaudible as she nodded and pointed to Claus.
The premier grinned as he walked up to Claus and said to him, <You must be V-06. It is a pleasure to
finally meet you in person. Your new bio-weapon has everyone ecstatic. So much so that it has been
placed into mass production. I have to say your G-01 is a true work of genius.>
<Excuse me!?> exclaimed Irenica as she stormed into the room with both hand on her hips
followed by Uko. Walking up to the premier, Irenica glared into his eyes as she said to him, 
<Androgynous. That's one of the main reasons the G-01 is well liked by the production committee.
Like V-06, they too believe making them hermaphroditic is one of the best solutions to the problem of
male aggression that was the cause of the two global wars. And also the trait of absolute obedience is
another trait that will guaranty that the G-01 will never do things uncontrolled males would desire
doing. As far as I'm concerned, the G-01 is the best thing we've seen in a long time. However there is
something else that will involve both V-06 and yourself, Irenica. A one year mock military operation:
the G-01 verses your VK-01,> said the Premier with a grin.
Irenica smirked as she said, <In a month,> said the
premier in reply as he too smirked and said to Irenica, <And before I go, I say to you that your
VK-01s are also a good design as well. Both designs are two of the best that we've seen in a long time.
So in order to decide on the one we'll choose for introduction into the main army, We're going to see
both species do in combat. So do your best to train them. In spite of the fact of real weapons not being
used, both of you are to regard this as an actual war. Consider that an order from me. You both have a
thirty day deadline for training your troops before the bell rings. That is all, and you are both
dismissed.>
----------------
The premier meet with both Zargare and Milgare as he asked them, <So what do you two have
planned for both Irenica and that V-06?> Zargare smirked as she said, <A simulation of the second
global war that led to the formation of the Soviet World federation. V-06 and his G-01s will take the
role of the Germans and Irenica's forces the Soviets. And I am taking the liberty of giving Claus an
army composed of 2.5 million G-01sall of these would be simulations of that speciessame with
Irenica's own force composed of three-million VK-01s. Milgare's job will be to manufacture the
environment while my job would be that of the game-master. Sound good to you, sir?> The premier
nodded as he smiled and said to Zargare, <By all means proceed.>
-----------------
Claus entered his habitat and entered his room. Sitting on his bed, Claus sent an electronic
message to Auki: -Come see me at once. A few minutes later, Aki entered the room as she asked
Claus, <You wanted the see me, master?> Claus nodded as he said to Aki in reply, <Your new
orders are to train your troops and get them ready for combat. I want you to have them ready by the end
of thirty days. Are your orders clear?> <Yes, master,> said Aki who then asked Claus, <May I ask
you something, master.> Claus nodded as he heard, <Who is you master?> said Claus in
reply as he saw Aki nod and then left to carry out her orders. It was at this moment that Unua asked
Claus, <Having fun, Master?> Claus gave Unua a tired gaze as he shook his head and then Claus had
not issued the same orders to Unua and the others that he did Aki and her own slave-solders.
---------------------
Claus awoke the next morning. It was at this moment that Claus left the bed as he walked to the
center of the room. Shining with a bright light, Claus at once redressed as he left his habitat and walked
to the mess-hall. Getting there, Claus got something to eat from the serving counter as he picked a table
and sat down at it. It was at this moment that Claus a squad of him bonders walk in to the mess-hall and
sat down at a table. A few moments passed, and a group of Vk-01s entered the mess-hall as well and at
once approached the eight bonders and their squad-master. Claus could tell that this would not have a
happy ending. At the table the eight bonders looked up at the group of twenty. That had closed them in.
Getting to her feet, the squad-master said to their sergeant, <leave us in peace. I have no
intention of fighting you.> The sergeant smirked as she said, <leave you in peace? We'll leave you in
several pieces laying on the floor. Your arm there, your head here, and you legs there. There's no way
that we'll leave you aloneright when the fun is about to start.> they all laughed as the group
surrounded the squad-master in a circle. It was at this moment that the first one of them lunged at her as
she dodged this attack. At once all expression left her face as the squad-master's programing took over
as she followed her orders from her platoon master. The VK-01s began to grow fearful as they smelled
the emotional pheromones pouring off the squad-master.
The sergeant grinned as she said, It was at this moment
Claus stepped in and ordered the Squad master and her bonders to stand-down and withdraw. She at
once obeyed the squad-master and her eight bonders left the room. Seeing this, the sergeant looked
pissed as she glared at Claus with blatant contempt on her face and demanded, <What the hell did you
do that for?> Claus glared at her as he said in reply, -I am not going to allow meaningless fights to
take place here. Save it for the war-game. And if you don't like it, be sure to file a proper written
complaint to the base Commander with valid reason why your Complaint should be observed.
It was at this moment that she lunged at Claus who at once dodged this attack as he laid his
hand onto her and siphoned away most of her life-force. Having this done to her, the Girl stopped in her
tracks as her face went blank, her eyes glazed over, and she at once fell to the ground. Walking up to
her, Claus touched her neck and found that she still had a pulse. Getting to his feet, Claus turned to the
group of VK-01s and said to them, -Never attack me againor this will happen to you. Think of
this as a warning that if I see any of you ever pick fights with my children outside of the
battlefield, I won't hold back when I intervene. I will kill you as I almost did to her. Deciding that
he had said enough, Claus left the room.
-------------------
There were no more episode as that one as Claus trained his people. One day Claus called every
one of them to a his habitat to make an important announcement to them all. With all of them gathered,
Claus stepped onto the highest platform in the habitat as he said to them, <I have a name that as of
today, will be the name of your species. From now on, the name of your species are the Geaetuoj.
Geaetuo is the name of your species as human is the name of the main species living in the Soviet
World federation and the rest of the world. Now! What are you?> At once the crowd roared, <We are
the Geaetuo race! We are the Geaetuoj!> <Very good!> shouted Claus as he smiled and said to the
Geaetuoj below him, <In three days we will all be in a very important game. We will fight, and I have
but one order order to obey in the game. Win whatever it takes! You are all dismissed till then!>
There was a thick air of excitement as Claus saw how much the Geaetuoj talked among
themselves and spoke of how badly they looked forward to the fight ahead. And all of them burned
with the desire to do the damnedest to serve Claus their master and to please him. Claus too was very
happy as well as excite to at long last put his bio-weapon to the test in the role all 1,520 of them were
designed to do. In a manner of speaking there was a profound beauty to it. A tool doing exactly what it
was made to do and doing its best. One by one, the Geaetuoj left the room as they left to start their
leisure. Claus was at least glad that he gave them the level of will-power to do activities of leisure on
their own without direction from him. All in all, Claus was at long last truly happy about his greatest
achievement. But Claus was not going to stop here. Smiling, Claus said to himself, 'After this game
ends, I'm washing my hands of the Soviet World Federation and forming a state of my own. And when
this state is ready, the Geaetuoj are going to do what I designed them to do from the start: the
destruction of the Soviet World Federation as a world state.'
---------------------
Chapter 20
Claus and all 1,520 of his Geaetuoj were gathered in a room as they waited for the game to
start. Five minutes passed, and then there was a bright light filled the room as everything went dark as
everyone there were knocked out. Claus awoke and found himself at a desk. It was at this moment that
Zargare entered the room and smiled at Claus as she said to him, <Welcome the Nazi Germany, Claus
or should I say the leader of Germany. Did I mention that you play as the leader of Germany just before
the start of the global war that ended sixty-one years ago? But to answer any questions you have, the
year is 1939, and you play the role of Adolf Hitler while Irenica is playing the role of Joseph Stalin.
Even though this is a simulation, it is as real as it really was, as well as the game-master being yours
truly. And before I go, the only way this simulation will conclude is when ether your country or
Irenica's gains control of one third of the world. And to make things easier for you, I took the liberty of
giving you 2,500,000 simulated G-01s as well as the number of regular troops that was in the German
army at the time.> It was at this moment that Zargare smiled and waved at Claus as she vanished into
Thin air.
Claus grinned as he sat back in the chair and looked around at the room around him as he saw a
portrait of himself hanging on one of the walls. Claus signed as he called in Unua. A few moments
later, Unua entered the room dressed in the black uniform of the SS. Claus thought about how good
Unua looked in her uniform as she walked up to the deck and said to Claus, <Can I help you,
master?> Claus nodded as he said to Unua in reply, <Well, yes, Unua. It's time to prepare to go to
war. Make sure the others know about this. And when you are done carrying out this order, I want you
to return to my office.> Unua nodded as she said to Claus, <As you wish, master?> As Unua left the
room, Claus smiled as he said to himself, 'good old Zargare.'
-------------------
In general, Claus followed the same course as what Hitler did in the history books that Claus
had read. Poland was the first to be taken by his army of Geaetuoj slave-solders, and Claus was both
shocked and ecstatic about how quickly Poland fell under his control. From the reports Claus had read
about each battle, their absolute obedience made his forces take risks that human solder would regard
as unthinkable. And in ten days, Poland was German territory. Shortly after Claus had taken Poland,
both England and France declared war on Germany. Just like Poland, France fell in two weeksas did
a few of the surrounding states to Claus' army of slaves. Claus could see that the G-01 was a damn-
good design for a bio-weapon.
England was next. And in a month, belonged to Claus. Claus then sent in his human army to
keep his newly won territories secure. A month later, Claus went to the Soviet Union to get a peace-
pact signed. Arriving, Claus stepped off the plane with Unua and Dua at his side. It was at this moment
that Claus was met by a squad of human solders who led the three to a car that then drove them to the
Kremlin. Arriving at the Kremlin, Claus, Dua, and Unua stepped out of the car, and was escorted inside
the building. A few moments later, the three entered Irenica's office. Irenica, Seeing Claus, got to her
feet as she walked over to Claus, extended her hand, and smiled as she said to Claus, <Well. If this
isn't a surprise I don't know what is. What can I do for you today, Claus?> <I'm here to ensure good
relations between our two countries,> said Claus in reply as he smirked.
Rolling her eyes, Irenica then smirked as she sat down in her chair and looked at Claus with a
smug expression and then cradled her cheeks in her hands as she said, <I have to say that this comes
as a surprise to hear those words come out of your mouth, Claus; but I think I'll take you up on your
offer. What do you have in mind about 'I'm here to ensure peace between our two countries'?> <It's
just as I say,> answered Claus as he said to Irenica, <I'm here to Have a five-year nonaggression pact
signed between yourself and yours truly. I am rather enjoying this world so far, and I don't want it to
end so quickly. So I believe the best solution to this is for our two countries to not fight at all. I am
happy with how the map in Europe looks right now, and I don't want that to change any time soon.>
Irenica nodded as she then said to Claus, <Alright, Claus. I'll take you up on your offer.>
Moments later, the treaty was signed and Claus went home. As they flew back, Unua asked Claus,
<Do you plan honor your agreement, Master?> Claus nodded as he said to Unua, <I intend to honor
the pact in full. The objective can be resolved without going to war with the Soviets at all. All we have
to do is wait until Japan attacks America, and then we'll join in the fight in the pacific by giving the
Japanese a helping hand in crushing the United States. Once we take America, WE will have won the
game without even engaging to USSR even once as we will control a third of the world once the
German flag flies over American soil. Do you like my plan, Unua?> Nodding, Unua smiled at Claus
as she said to him, <It's the best one I have heard so far, Master. I'll be happy to implement it with my
army.> Smiling, Claus said, <And I'll be happy to give the order when the time comes.>
-----------------------
Just as Claus predicted, on December 7th 1941, the Japanese did a surprise air attack on the
American naval base at Pearl-harbor. In the eighteen months leading up to the attack, Claus moved his
2,500,000 Geaetuoj solders to Brazil and waited for japan to begin fighting the Americans. Unua, Dua,
Tria, Kvara, Kvina, Sesa, Sepa, and Oka were the ones Claus put in charge of this army as his top
generals. And after confirmation of the Japanese attack, Claus ordered the taking of the panama canal.
This was done in three days and Caused the United States to declare was on Germany as well. With the
Panama canal under his control Claus sent the two battlecruisers the Gneisenau and the Scharnhorst,
and all three of his Deutschland class pockt-battleship as well as eight destroyer and two Aircraft-
carriers through the canal and into the Pacific to join up with the Japanese navy.
Taking Cuba as well with his human army, Claus begun a series of air-raids on the American
east-coast and the naval-bases there. AS his army of Geaetuoj pushed across the American border,
reports of the American solders and partisans began to pour in. But slowly but surely, these reports
began to fade. Two months later, America became German territory and the game ended. Claus had
won! It was at this moment that the simulation ended and they reappeared in the room. Claus could
sense the undertow of gratification that swept through the group of Geaetuoj as they savored their latest
victory. They were ecstatic about how please Claus was with their work. And Claus himself was
ecstatic as well.
------------------
<Isn't It nice to know that Claus can do the impossible,> said Milgare as both he and Zargare
sat at a picnic table and had lunch with the premier and his monitor. <My only disappointment was not
seeing both species engage in combat. That and how quickly it all ended,> said Zargare as she averted
her gazed and blushed. It was at this moment that the premier smiled as he said, <But Claus did win
without even following the course history took. His decision to invade the United states in a joint effort
with the Japanese was an action of genius. No other who played that game before had ever thought of a
move like that. I have to say that I now feel a sense of admiration towards this Claus. Whoever he is,
he's a genius for sure.>
Zargare nodded in agreement as she asked the premier, <So. What becomes of Claus and the
one million G-01s that exist?> It was at this moment that the premier said in reply, <From what we
all saw in that simulation you two proctored, the G-01 is too dangerous and destructive for use in the
Regular army. For that task I am giving to the VK-01s. As for Claus himself I'm going to call him in
and see which of our frontier territories He and his force would like to be deployed in. It seems
America is making tries for our territories by proxy and those Geaetuoj seem perfect for the task
sending a clear warning that will make them soil themselves. I think that was the purpose of the G-01
to begin with.> Nodding in agreement, Milgare said, <Well. Let's call him in then.>
-------------------
Claus, Unua, and Dua entered the garden where the Premier sat with his monitor and enjoyed
the warm sun of summer. Noticing Claus enter the garden, the premier said to him, <Ah. Welcome,
Claus Nosredna.> Claus nodded as he sat at the same table as the premier and faced him as Claus
asked, -May I ask the reason for you calling me here? <I am glad you asked. In spite of the success
of your Geaetuoj, the public feels they are too dangerous for use in the regular army. As much as you
and I both disagree, I have to face the fact that there is the ever present need to appease the public.>
Claus nodded as he asked the premier, -And what of the Geaetuoj and myself. What of us? <The
reason I called you here what to let you choose which frontier territory you and your Geaetuoj would
like to be deployed in. Knowing women, they tend to disregard the fact of something's existence purely
on the fact that the thing in question is out of sight of them. So you should be free of their interference
by staying deployed in the frontier. The question is which of the territories you would like for me to
deploy your force in.>
-I would like for my force and I to deployed in China near Nepal. If it's one place that's far
enough, it's there, said Claus with a smile. said the premier as he then asked, <May I ask
you if you have plans for China? A state that powerful I would prefer to stay one of our Allies.> -It's
not China I'm after. I'm going there to take the neutral states beyond the border of China. I'm
going there to form a satellite state at which I'll rule over. A new powerful ally of the Soviet
World Federation. This new country will be populated solely by the Geaetuoj, and its name will
the people's common-wealth of Autistia. <So you wish to form a country?> -One that will be a
satellite state and provide a new rich source of income for the Soviet World Federation. <You do
realize those countries you wish to take are protected by the United States. And you do know that
they're nothing to sneeze at.> Claus smirked as he said, -Simulation or not. You did see what I did
to America. I'll just defeat them again. <I'll grant your request,> said the premier with a smile,
<You'll get your country, Claus, and I wish you the best of luck. May your victories come easy>
-Thank you, sir, said Claus as he smiled and left the room.
----------------
Claus had mixed sentiments about going to China. The Geaetuoj were all happy about it; so
Claus did not mind too much. China being an ally of the Soviet World Federation, but not an actual
member, still had the same population type as countries like the United States in the fact of men an
women each composing of half the total population. This made the Soviet Public uneasy about China in
the same way they were the United Statesonly the Soviet World Federation would never be able to
defeat China due to their vast population and military strength. Getting to China, Claus and his
Geaetuoj settled in the lands middle of the three cities of Gyangtse, Shigatse, and Brahmaputra--located
in the Tibet region of China. And it was there that Claus and the Geaetuoj got to work building a city of
their own to live in.
During the first month of Construction, Claus, Dua, And Unua went to Peking to negotiate
purchase of territory So Claus could form his country. Reaching Peking, Claus saw how nice the city
was as he stepped off the transport aircraft and onto the airbase. Claus, Unua, and Dua were met by a
squad of Chinese solders who led them to a car. Getting into the car, Claus was met by a woman in
business suit who upon seeing Claus, Unua, and Dua, extended her hand towards Claus as she smiled
and said to him, <Mr. Sonredna. It's a pleasure to finally meet you in person. I'm Ms. Wong. And I'll
be your escort during your time in our Capital. Is there anything I can do for you today?> Claus shook
his head as Wong noticed Unua and Dua and asked them, <And who might you two be?> <We are
both Mr. Sonredna's personal bondsmen.>
 said Wong as she giggled and said to Unua, <Then I have to say that your master
has good taste,> as the car began to drive towards the government center. When the car reached the
government center, Claus, Unua, Dua, and Wong got out of the car and began to walk towards the
building. Entering the building, Claus and his two escorts were led down a hallway until they reached
the door to an office. Walking up to the door, Claus entered it and saw a woman sitting behind a desk.
Smiling at Claus, Unua and Dua, the woman said to them, <Ah. Good afternoon, Mr. Sonredna I'm
premier Jes Xilong. What can I do for you today? As you can see, I having a busy life running this
country.>
-I'm here to discuss the purchase of the Tibet region of your country for use as territory,
said Claus in reply as he took a seat along side Unua and Dua. Claus could see her thinking hard about
this. It was at this moment that Claus said to Jes, -May I show you what I am willing to pay for the
territory in question? The Premier nodded as she asked Claus, <What do you have in mind?>
Smiling, Claus said to her in reply, -Let me show you, as he got to his feet and walked to a closet.
Laying his hand onto the door, Claus called up a subspace room that had a small fraction of his
personal wealth. Opening the door, Claus said, -How about all this? Getting up from her seat, Jes
walked over and saw through the open door a large room filled with gold of all shapes and sizes. The
Premier was agape as she asked, <Is this for real?>
-Quite real. In this room is enough gold to pay the US national debt for an entire year. And
I'll give this all to you as payment for purchase of the Tibet region so I may have territory of my
own at which to form a state for the Geaetuoj to live; answered Claus as he smiled. It was at this
moment that the Premier grinned ass she said, Claus nodded as he thanked the premier and began transferring the gold.
It took a day for Chinese workers to move the gold and confirm that every gram was 100% pure
gold. Not long after, the territory purchase clause was signed, and the Tibet region's ownership was
transferred to Claus. Arriving back to his newly won land, Claus got on Television and said to the
world, -Today marks the birth of a new state! WE will not be part of any of any major state, but
that of our own. Today we are small, but tomorrow we will stand among the great powers of the
world. For this new country I name: The People's common-wealth of Autistia. And I ask the
world to now accept us into their ranks. Long live Autistia!
Autistia was born.
---------------------
Chapter 21
A year passed, and The news of Autistia's birth spread across the world like a wild-fire through
a jungle. Back in the Soviet World Federation, the public was in an uproar over it and demanded action
against Autistia. Back in his office Zargare said to the premier, <Well; Claus has really done it now.
Forming his own country. And The pubic cannot stand the fact of another country that isn't ruled by
woman being in existence.> <But I did allow it,> said the premier, <This world was beginning to
bore me in a big way.> <Agreed,> said Milgare as he said to the premier, <And I say let's see what
comes of it. We're already getting reports from our intelligence division that Autistia is industrializing
at an alarming rate that can be called overnight from the get go. There may be two million of them now,
but there will be a million more manufactured each year. They already have reproduction factories in
place, and the Autistians are already raising their numbers by both breeding and production of adults in
their factories like we are.> <Then let's see what comes of it,> said the premier.
-----------------
Claus really liked the shape his country was taking. He introduced many technologies based on
the Atlantian ones that made the mimesis. And with those technologies, things were going at an
overnight pace. Claus had already built several cities and his people were happy. And now with those
six cities, their population growth had increased to over 2,750 a day. And with each new city built, this
production increased by 20%. Claus was indeed proud of his work as he sat at his desk. It was then that
Claus called in on of his head scientists. A few minutes later, she entered the room and asked Claus,
<Did you call me, Master?> Claus nodded as he said to her in reply, <It's time to begin building an
army. I need tanks, and your job is to design them for me---The best you can come up with.> The
scientist nodded as she said, <Yes, master. Right away.>
------------------
Claus was impressed with how quickly his orders were carried out. Claus had given the same
order to the heads of different departments to begin military build-up. And Claus could see the
Production rate of new Geaetuoj had increased to several thousand a day and then to ten-thousand a
day by the end of the month, and the industry had kicked up into high gear as more cities were
constructed and vast numbers of factories were erected to satisfy the demand for the components
needed for the new equipment being designed and made. It was at this moment that Claus decided to
help in the design of the equipment. By the end of the week, Claus himself had designed guns of
various calibers: Usually with their caliber being in units of six millimeters.
Seeing that the work was good, Claus remained content in his office. The Autistians were doing
a good job on their own keeping the country afloat. As for his army, Claus now had a total of 158,424
combat solders divided into eight armies, 32,768 tanks, and 16,384 artillery pieces of various types and
Calibers as well as over a million support solders. As for the lead commanders of his eight armies,
Claus chose: Unua, Dua, Tria, Kvara, Kvina, Sesa, Sepa, and Oka as his lead generals. By the end of
two years, Claus had a total population of 11,157,000 Geaetuoj living in Autistia. Deciding that he had
enough people, Claus ordered the military build-up to decrease to 5% of what it was. Claus now felt at
ease with his country and also felt that military was good enough for the time being.
---------------
At the end of the year, It came time for Claus to prepare for his forthcoming battle with Lucifa's
generals and then her. Like he agreed, He would be fighting ten demons in a tandem of ten different
battles before fighting Lucifa herself. If Claus won, he would get his raven Kielko back. And if Claus
lost, even a single battle, he would have to marry Lucifa. Lucifa was quite attractive, but Claus did not
feel like having to queen of the demons as his wife. There just was too many things Claus took issue
with. Going down to the city of Pafilurbo, a city whose name literally translated into gun-city, Claus
arrived there and at once when to the head of the development department of weapons. Getting there,
Claus called for the chief of artillery development. Seeing her arrive before him, Claus said to her, 
She nodded as she asked Claus, <And may I ask what you need my workers to construct for
you, master Regesto Niadio?> Claus nodded as he extended his hand, and an image of an 180mm/60
revolver in the style of a bazooka appeared over his palm. What this weapon was, was a naval-gun
from a heavy cruiser redesigned into an 7-shot revolver that looked like it could take-out a battleship
only that this was a weapon only a mimesis could use by siphoning the 30-ton weight of the weapon,
and the force of the recoil into the various subspace pockets. It was also at this moment that Claus also
presented several other weapons ranging from a 50-cal sub-machine gun, a grenade launcher, a flame-
thrower, a twenty-ton hammer, a sword that was a full two meters in length, a 24mm/65 rotary cannon,
and a 48mm/65 rotary cannon. Seeing this list plus the 180mm revolver, the chief smiled as she said to
Claus, <I'll happy to begin construction of these forthwith. How soon do you need them, Master?>
 <Yes indeed, master.>
-----------------
<It's almost time,> said Lucifa as she had Kobal prepare the arena for the up-coming tandem
of battles that would get her a husband. Claus' ten opponents were going to be Abigor, Augres, Alocer,
Amduscas, Andras, Aym, Ayperos, Buer, Furfur, and Ronwe. Standing before Lucifa were these ten
some who looked annoyed about being inconvenienced by this event. It was at this moment one of
them tsked and said, <Why the hell are we being called here? It's a mimesis you want us fight, and I
can't tell you how many we've destroyed.> The others nodded in agreement as one of them asked
Lucifa, <And what makes this one so special?> <I'll show you,> said Milgare as he entered the
room and glanced at Lucifa and her ten commanders.
Milgare at once had their attention as Lucifa smirked and walked up to Milgare as she asked
him, <And what is it you want to show us?> <A Video of your opponent,> said Milgare in reply as
he brought out a holographic movie projector. Activating the device, Milgare and the eleven demons
watched as first was videos of Claus performing executions in the maze in the years before he was a
mimesis. It was at this moment all ten of the commanders saw the section of Claus' action as a mimisis
working for the American police. There was an air of excitement that swept over the ten as they all saw
how powerful Claus wasA lot more powerful than the light mimesises the ten of them each had their
share of destroying. <What you see here is a dark mimesis,> said Milgare, <Unlike a light mimesis,
Claus will be even stronger here than on earth where he now resides. This Clip was filmed a few years
ago, so Claus will be stronger still.>
<About time things got exciting around here,> said Abigor with a smirk as she said, as she watched Claus explode a man's head in a
single attack. Milgare could see the delight in their eyes as one of them said, <That's it! Right there.>
 exclaimed another. When the Video ended, all ten of them
were beyond ecstatic as they all said, <Magnificent!> <So I take it you're all looking forward to this
forthcoming battle?> asked Milgare who saw what the answer was going to be. <Yes. And I look
forward to having his head as part of my collection.>
<There will be none of that,> said Lucifa as she stepped forward and smiled at Milgare and
said to her ten commanders, <That's even better,> said Ronwe
as she smiled and said to her nine comrades, <Because Where's the fun in just killing him. I happen to
look forward to adding some scars to that cute face of his. And by your permission, your Majesty, I ask
to be the first he'll face in battle.> Nodding, Lucifa smiled as she said to Ronwe, <By all means, my
adorable looking Ronwe. Being among my best, I look forward to your up-coming battle.> <Thank
you, your Majesty,> said Ronwe as she giggled, smirked, and then said to Lucifa, 
-------------------
Claus and two bonders arrived in hell. It was the same place he Zargare and Kielko had arrived
at five years ago. The two bonders were soldersboth of which were dressed for the cold weather. It
was daylight, and Claus looked at the sheer beauty of the landscape as he instructed his two bonders to
Follow. This was Claus' first time coming here on his own accord. Reaching the city a few hours later,
Claus and the two entered the city and walked to the coliseum that was visible at the city's outskirts. It
took twenty minutes for the three to reach the coliseum, and Claus had a worried look on his face. The
day he both looked forward to and feared had finally arrived. Entering the coliseum, Claus registered
with one of Kobal's women the facts that he dark-class mimesis, and the list of weapons he was going
to be using.
Claus looked forward to putting the new weapons of his design to the ultimate test. Claus knew
full well what the rules were he for the tournament: the battle is over when one opponent is unable to
continue fighting the other. As for weapons, the rule there was simple: anything goes. Apart from his
cannons, anti-tank-guns, machine-pistols, ARs, and a shitload of land-mines, AP-mines, bombs, and
grenades, Claus also had two 5KT backpack nukes. Those two he was saving for his fight with Lucifa
a special present for her. Claus smiled at this fact as he saw his name appear on the tournament
roster. It was at this moment that the woman at the table wished Claus luck and told him where his
room would be. Heading there, Claus and the two bonders arrived there and entered the room.
Claus could see that the two of them were very excited to be in this place and to watch their
master in action for the first time. It was at this moment that the door opened and a rather beautiful girl
stepped into the room and looked at Claus. The girl walked up to Claus and said to him, <So this is
who I'll be facing today.> Claus looked at her with slight annoyance on his face as he asked the girl,
-Who are you and what are you doing in my room? The smirked at Claus as she said to him, <I'm
Ronwe. And I'll be your first opponent. I have to say I can see why Lucifa wants to have you so badly.
But do remember my name as I am going to be the one who defeats you.>
Claus looked at her as if she was insane. Seeing his expression, Ronwe said to Claus, <Are
you giving me a dirty look? Unbelievable!> Ronwe then grabbed Claus by his shirt as she clenced her
teeth. It was at this moment that Lucifa walked into the room and said to Ronwe, <Put him down,
Ronwe. We wouldn't want to make things too unfair for that boy.> Ronwe obeyed as put Claus back
down onto his feet and glared at him. Smiling at Claus, Lucifa said to him, <I can already see you at
my side, my dear Claus. Oh, that reminds me what I came here to tell you. I'm upping the ante on your
match. I'm having you face all ten of my commanders in a single match. But to make things not entirely
unfair, the battlefield is going to be in a cityplenty of hiding spots for you, and plenty of ways to
plan. I seldom say this to anyone, but good-luck.> Lucifa smiled as she waved at Claus and left the
room.
Ronwe giggled as she said, <I'll see you in that seethat is that I'll be the last thing You'll ever
see,> as she left the room. Claus could hardly believe it. He wanted to scream at that Lucifa. The one
thing Claus did not want to do was to marry that bitch. <Are you okay, master?> asked one of the
bonders as she sat down next to Claus. <I'll need all the luck I can get,> said Claus in reply with a
tired tone in his voice. Getting to his feet, left his room and went to get something to eat before the
match would start. As Claus ate, he halfway wished he had never became a mimesis. Claus forced this
from his mind as he decided that he would fight, and he was going do whatever it took to win. All he
wanted in life was to be left alone in peace. Something that was denied him time and time again. Claus
decided that from now on, whenever he or his country of Autistia was going to fight, they'll win and
along the way, hit the enemy so hard, that they'll never, ever, be a threat to them again. Only then would
there be a truly lasting peace.
----------------
Chapter 22
The match begun, and Claus was transported to a city. Claus knew what this place was. It was a
recreation of the very city where he nuked his whole battalion all those years ago. What went through
Claus' mind was the fact that this sadistic joke was all just a game to Lucifaa bitch who Claus was
pretty sure was watching him nowlearning and watching every move he'd make, and every strategy
he'd use to make it easier to defeat him when his number was up. Claus when pale upon the realization
of Lucifa's cunning. It was at this moment that Claus chose a hiding spot in one of the flats that stood
nearby. Being a dark mimesis, Claus could sense demons as he himself was part demon. So far there
were none within his detection range, and that was at least the good news. At least Lucifa gave him a
decent chance. It told Claus that Lucifa regarded him as a worthy adversary.
-------------
<Now where are you, boy,> said Ronwe. It was only a minute since she and the others were
transported here. Ronwe was pretty sure they had been scattered across the city. Each one of them had
been told by Lucifa herself that their ability to sense each other had been nullified by an energy field.
<So I guess I'll have to do this the hard way,> said Ronwe as she began to walk through the city. But
what She and her comrades had not been told was the fact that Claus' own detection ability was not in
any way nullified in order to make things slightly more fair for him. However, Ronwe could
communicate to her comrades by a radio deviceunaware that Claus was monitoring all form of RF
communication.
It was at this moment that Claus decided to make his move as he mined one of the buildings and
said to Ronwe in Abigor's voice, -Ron. This is Aby. I just spotted him he's in the gray seven-story
apartment building if you don't mind me getting to him first. <What!?> exclaimed Ronwe as rage
swept across her face as spat into the mic, <Are you playing some kind of joke? Or do you want to
die?> -I just want this battle to end. It is a mimesis after all, said claus as he sent a similar message to
the nine other demons. His tactic was simple: get all ten of them in one place, and then blow-up the
building on top of them. Claus counted on those ten underestimating him, and he decided that he was
going to defeat them as quickly as possible. Claus was sick and tired of living a life of combat. Such a
life he no longer wanted. Now he just wanted to be left alone and now desperately wanted his battles to
end.
------------------
Ronwe was the first to enter the building. She smirked as she said, <This almost is too easy,>
not knowing that her target had her exactly where he wanted her. It was at this moment that Ronwe saw
him! Taking aim, a cable-like blade fired from Romwe's hand and embedded into the wall. Retracting
the blade, Romwe dashed the hole in the wall and saw that there was no body to be seen. Clenching her
teeth, Ronwe then heard singing in Claus' voice. Ronwe's mood at once lifted as she ran full speed in
the direction of the singing. Finding a door that was the source of the singing, Ronwe screamed, <Die!
Die! Die!> as she shot her cable-blade through the door multiple times. Still hearing the singing
coming through the door, a puzzled look appeared on Ronwe's face said, <Whaaaat?!> kicking in the
door, Ronwe saw it was a tape-recorder that was the source of the singing. Blushing, Ronwe then went
pale as she then saw a timer reach zero as a large explosion ripped into Ronwe and threw her clear.
Ronwe crashed against the wall. Getting to her feet, Ronwe screamed at the air, <Do you here
me! It's going to take more than that to take me down.> It was then that Ronwe saw Claus standing on
the ceiling. Ronwe screamed at Claus as she fired her cable-blade at Clauswho dodged this as he ran
along the surface of the wall and then grabbed Ronwe as he pinned her against the wall and began to
fuse Ronwe to the wall itself. Doing this, Claus let go of her as all four of Ronwe's limbs were fused
underneath the wall's surface. Ronwe found that she was unable to even attack Claus as he stood before
her. Turning around, Claus left the sight of Ronwe as he began to look for his next enemy.
------------------
<Looks like you got you wish of being his first opponent, Ronwe, and mine as his first
victory,> said Lucifa as she cuddled up next to Milgare. Milgare watched as Claus moved along the
rooftops and flew from building to building. Lucifa grinned in admiration at Claus as he moved with
great speed. Lucifa smiled as she got to her feet and walked towards the screen to get a closer look at
Claus as she said, <I'll just let you have your fun crushing my commanders. Then I'll have a little
surprise for you.> Getting to his feet himself, Milgare walked over to Lucifa and asked her, <So you
sent your commanders in knowing that they would not win?> Lucifa nodded as she said, <This is just
a game after all.>
It was at this moment that Kielko entered the room to watch Claus as well. As she Walked into
the light as was seen that Kielko now had purple hair. Milgare saw this and raised one of his eyebrows
as he asked Lucifa, <A mimesis. So you plan on fighting Claus on his own terms?> Smirking, Lucifa
said in a tone of mock cheer, <Why, of course I do. It just would not any fun if it was any other
way.> <But would that be unfair?> asked Milgare. <Since when was I ever fair? I am just
following the rules I set for weapons in this battle: anything goes. And you mimesis are weapons
designed by those damned Atlantians to fight us demons. And this mimesis I had Ukobach make for me
is the weapon I am going to use to Make that Claus out there feel a lot pain before I defeat him. Don't
worry, Milgare. I am after all giving you a front row seat.> Milgare smirked as he looked back at the
screen.
------------------
Abigor and Alocer walked along. They had just lost contact with Ronwe, and demons wore a
look of concerned. It was at this moment that Abigor was asked, <Was it really you that sent us that
message.> Abigor looked at Alocer as if she were insane and said, <It wasn't me! It was that
Goddamn mimesis!> Abigor too had heard that message, and look pissed. It was then that the two of
them heard on their radios in Ronwe's voice, -I just left the gray building. NO sign of the target. I
spotted him heading to the largest build in this city. <Are you really ronwe?> asked Alocer as she
heard through her radio, -Why wouldn't I be. <That at least makes me glad,> said Alocer as she heard
Ronwe's voice say to them, -As I said. He is headed for that large highrise that is at the city's center.
I'll meet you there.
Claus smirked as he finished his transmission to his enemies. He could now sense that several
of them were already approaching the highrise where he now was. Claus had everything ready. He used
holograms to lure that Ronwe to that room that he had mined with some of his bombs. Reaching into
one of his subspace pockets, Claus pulled out a machine-pistol and loaded the weapon. The tactic he'd
use this time was to separate each of his nine enemies, and defeat each one in single combat.
--------------
Alocer and Abigor entered the highrise. Looking around, Alocer as Abigor, <Now where do
you think He'll be?> It was at this moment that the other seven arrived and too began to look around.
Seeing one of the ceiling vents open, the seven of them saw a grenade fall from the open vent, hit the
floor, and roll towards them. Before any of them could react, the Grenade blew as several of them
jumped out of the way as they took the blast. Abigor saw that the fragment from that grenade had
shredded half her dress. Getting angry, Abigor yelled at them, <Find that mimesis and kill him! I don't
care What Lucifa does if we do!>
Claus welcomed this new turn of events. It meant he could now hit those nine with everything
he had. Smiling Claus got to work as he took control of the building's electrical and other systems as he
prepared to destroy each of those nine demons one at a time. Back on the ground-floor, Abigor saw the
entire building locked down as the lights went dark. <Turning out the lights and locking us in huh?
Well, even if with half of our senses nullified, we can still what the others see. And you've just cut off
your own escape,> said Abigor with a grin as she began to walk through the building. Back at the
hallway, Alocer and Furfur came to an elevator. Calling the car, the two waited for the car to arrive, and
then boarded the car as Furfur pressed the button for the top floor.
The car reached the top floor, but the doors did not open. Furfur then began to press at the
button as both she and Alocer heard laughter in Ronwe's voice as the car shook, and then began to fall
down its shaft. The car then stopped suddenly as the two were thrown against the car's ceiling and then
fell to the floor. It was at this moment that both demons saw the car's controls activating on their own
as the elevator car shot up the shaft and then came back down to the bottom of its shaft with even
greater speed then before. There was another repeat of this, and then both Alocer and Furfur heard of
the elevator's speakers in Claus' voice, -I'm on this floor if want me. Find me if you can. It was at
this moment that the doors to the elevator car opened. Seeing this, Furfur let forth a wordless scream as
she ran into the pitch-black hallway.
<Furfur stop!> exclaimed Alocer as she ran after Furfur. Furfur was seeing red at this point as
her blood-lust soared. Claus then got to work using this against her as he used to holographic projectors
he installed throughout the building and the building's speaker system to make Furfur give chase.
Furfur, not being able to see well in the dark, then saw Claus running back to the elevator. It was at this
moment that Claus then used the holographic projectors to disguise Alocer as himself. Reaching the
hallway that led to the elevator, Furfur saw Claus standing outside the doors to the elevator. excalimed Furfur as she ran full speed at her target. Leaping at her target, Furfur used her hand
as it shined with a bright light, and ran her target through. It was at this moment that the image of Claus
vanished, and Furfur saw it was Alocer that she had just killed. She had killed Alocer!
Furfur then scream, <Nooo!> Claus stood at the end of the hallway as he took aim with his
machine-pistol and then opened fire at furfur with a five-second burst of 10mm silver tipped anti-
demon rounds. Furfur survived this first attack as she got to her feet and made a run for Claus who took
aim at her legs and made his second attack. Furfur at once fell to the floor and slid two meters before
coming to a rest five meters from Claus himself. Furfur found that she could not move at all as she saw
Claus walk up to her. Claus wore a face devoid of emotion as he looked down at Furfur with his ever
present penetrating gaze.
Picking up Furfur, Claus fused her to a nearby wall as he did with Ronwe. Walking up to
Alocer, Claus laid his fingers on her neck and saw she was still alive. Repairing her wounds, Claus
fused her limbs to the floor as he sat down nearby and began to eat from a package of Autistian military
food rations. He only had seven more opponents to defeat before he had to fight Lucifa. Finishing his
meal, Claus got to his feet and turned to leave as he heard Furfur say to him, <Why aren't you going to
finish me off?> <That was never my intent,> said Claus in reply as he left Furfur's sight and began
to head to his next opponent to defeat.
------------------
Abigor knew something was very wrong. She would contact them, but there was a momentary
delay in response. And now it was Aym that this had happened to. It was at this moment that Abigor
said into her radio, -I don't know what
you're talking about, Aby,said Claus as he fused Aym to an adjacent wall and smirked as he said to
Abigor through Ronwe's radio, -You do understand that being so angry is so bad for a girl's looks.
Claus heard Abigor scream at him. Claus then got on the move again. Claus had concluded that this
was not a battle at all as it became clear that Lucifa had clearly stacked the odds in his favorletting
him play. This match was just Lucifa's way of seeing how he played his hand before she herself would
step in.
Claus had long since knew thiseven before the battle had started. And Claus had decided
from the beginning that he would not show off his best moves to Lucifa who Claus was sure was seeing
it all from some safe room outside of this subspace environmental game. From a tactical standpoint,
Lucifa's plan was brilliant, but Claus himself was tactically brilliant. Claus knew this city like the back
of his hand. Claus used the tactic of walking on the ceiling to avoid being sighted by his six remaining
enemies. It had already been an hour and Claus thought to himself that he was already moving at a
decent pace. Seeing Buer below him, Claus landed behind her, and then knocked her out with a strike
to the side of the neck. Picking up the body, Claus fused her to a nearby wall, then moved on.
--------------------
Another thirty minutes passed, and Abigor found that she was the only one left! It was at this
moment that Abigor heard Ronwe's voice say to her, -NO sign of the target. 
screamed Abigor, <Where are you? Come out and fight me!> -And you're me last target, said Claus
as he walked down the hallway that led to the emergency stairway. Reaching this stairway, Claus flew
down the stairs as he raced to the ground floor. This Abigor was for sure their leader. He did not once
had the opportunity to fuse Abigor like he did her subordinates, but now it was for sure Abigor was
going to give it her all. And Claus was not going to give Abigor a chance. That was the only he was
going to win and how he won against the other demons up until now.
Claus reached the ground floor and emerged from the stairwell as he ran up the wall. Abigor
then yelled into her radio, <Where the hell are you, Claus!> -I'm right behind you, said Claus as
Abigor both felt the punch and the crack of a gunshot hit her back. Surprised, Abigor was then throw
clear across the room as she was hit by Claus' twenty-ton hammer. Crashing through one of the glass
windows, Abigor flew twenty-five meters from the building and crashed into the pavement. Getting to
her feet, Abigor spat into the pavement as she said, <You'd have to do better than that.>
Abigor then heard music sound nearby as she saw the headlights of a motorcar speeding
towards her at full-throttle. Jumping out of the way, there was a flash and a sharp gust of wind as the
car exploded upon crashing into a nearby building. It was at this moment that the sound of music
sounded on multiple vehicles as Abigor saw several cars begin to speed towards her. Abigor was
successful in dodging the first few vehicle, but was then hit as the car took her for a ride, and then
crushed her into a nearby building and exploded. Seeing this, Claus reached into subspace and broke-
out his 4-barreled 24mm/65 rotary cannon as his took aim with this weapon.
There was a whine as the electric-motor spun the four barrels up to speed, and then the roaring
purr as the cannon belched forth a shower of 24mm sliver-jacketed SAP-WP-HE rounds at the building
with a rate of 500RPM, and a speed of 1,800 meters-per-second. The damage to the building was a
sight to behold as the shower of shells exploded what was left of the building's front wall. Within a
period of several seconds, the entire target building shook as the gunfire completely razed and caused
the collapse of the entire structure. Holding fire, Claus put the cannon away and broke out his 10mm
machine-pistol as he began to walk towards the pile of ruble.
It was at this moment Claus saw Abigor rise from the ruble-pile. Abigor no longer wanted to
fight Claus and started to run. Seeing that she was trying to get away, Claus took aim threw forth a
shower of bullets at Abigorwho was knocked to the ground by the impact of Claus' attack. With
Abigor on the ground, rounds of different calibers shot through her body. It was at this moment that a
grenade landed next to Abigor, and then exploded. Abigor was now on death's door as Claus walked up
to her, and then fused her to the pavement as he healed her wounds. Claus had won the first part of the
battle.
------------------------
Chapter 23
It was time to fight Claus. Lucifa was very excited to face a type of mimesis that Atlantians
never even dared create. And there was good reason for this: their great power made them quite
unstable and in extreme cases, prone to self-destruct in a big way upon prolonged use of their strongest
abilities. And from what Lucifa had seen of the dark mimesis, their only use was that of a hand-held
item type Kielko now was. Turning to Kielko, Lucifa said to her, <Let's go, Kielko.> It was at this
moment that Kielko asked Lucifa, <Why did you let Claus win?> Lucifa gave Kielko a puzzled look
as she asked her, <What gave you that idea?> <It's just that it somehow looked too easy.> To this
Lucifa said, <All I did was modify them so they'd have bodies similar to the boy's and gave them
radios. The reason Claus won, was the fact of his cunning use of underhanded tactics, and an
underhanded style of combat where he never gave them a single fair chance ever.>
-------------------
Claus ate his meal. He looked exhausted as he sat and ate. There was one one battle left and
he'd get Kielko back. Finishing his meal, Claus checked his ammunition and saw that he still had plenty
left. It was at this moment that Claus detected her and something else. It was another mimesis! He was
sure of it. But the signature was very different. It was several times stronger than Zargare, Milgare, or
Irenica! It was at this moment that Claus felt demonic signature that was with the mimesis. The
combined energy pressure was so strong that movement alone was as difficult as wading through a
five-foot-deep pool of water. Claus could hardly stand! Lucifa was not going to hold back in any way.
It was at this moment that Claus saw the flash of an energy weapon and jumped out of the way
as the building he stood on was blown to bits. Breaking out the 180mm revolver, Claus opened fire at
Lucifa's position as he fired three shells at Lucifa and then switched weapons to his two-meter sword as
he made a run towards Lucifa. Lucifa smiled as Kielko morphed also into the exact same weapon held
by Claus. It was at this moment that the two jumped into the air as both their blades with an earsplitting
Clang and a shower of sparks. Claus had concluded the reason why Lucifa was using a mimesis. The
battlefield of this fight had a field that converts demons into little more than humans with the addition
of their abilities. Here, Lucifa was just a girl.
Claus could see a crazed look in Lucifa's eyes as she attacked Claus who parried her every
strike. Getting a good distance from Lucifa, Claus switched weapons to his 10mm machine-pistol and
opened fire at Lucifa. Lucifa caused Kielko to form a shield and blocked Claus' gunfire. It was at this
moment that a grenade from a grenade launcher struck Lucifa's shield and exploded. Claus could see
Lucifa had survived this attack as some of her blood dripped onto the pavement. But the grenade was
just a diversion as Claus was now behind Lucifa and hit her with his twenty-ton hammer. Lucifa flew,
and then crashed into a highrise as the impact caused her to penetrate the wall of impact. Breaking out
his 180mm/65 revolver, Claus opened fire at the highrise and emptied his weaponcausing the
highrise to collapse.
Lucifa flew downwards at Claus and right into a torrent of gunfire from his 48mm/65 rotary
cannon. As Lucifa went after Claus, she heard Kielko say to her, -You need to stop now. You're
destroying yourself! <Oh, Kielko. I'm just getting started! It's been far too long since I've had this
much fun!> Kielko on the other hand was in great pain as she did her best to take shield Lucifa from
damage, but Kielko was reaching her limit on how much damage she could store away in her subspace
pockets. Five minutes later was screaming at Lucifa to stop and it was at this moment that Kielko
Kielko could no longer absorb any more damage and transferred all of her damage to Lucifa. Lucifa at
fell to her knees in pain as she cried out for help. Lucifa was defeated. Claus had won his last victory.
---------------------
Lucifa awoke. Sitting up in the bed, she found that she was sore all over and that sitting up
caused a great stab of pain. It was at this moment that a Geaetuo nurse walked into the room and saw
that Lucifa was awake. The nurse left and a few minutes later, Claus arrived and said to her, <So I see
that you're awake.> <What did you do to me? I feel weak and I can hardly move without pain!>
demanded Lucifa. answered Claus. Lucifa looked pissed as she
said, <You can't do this to me! I am the lord of the demons.> <Was the lord of demons. You are now
a girl. A human female. The very species you hate. From now on Lucifa, you are going to live as a
human and be attractive for a few decades, age, turn into an old hag, and then die as a human: ceasing
to exist entirely like an unsaved file in a computer's RAM when the plug is pulled.>
Lucifa went pale. Walking over to her, Claus saw Lucifa look up at him, blush, and then asked
him, <Why did you do this to me?> <At the end of the battle, you almost died as did Kielko.
Turning her into a mimesis was the last straw for me. So I'm doing the perfect punishment for you. And
Jehovah does approve of my decision. You're mine from now on, Lucifa,> said Claus who heard
Lucifa say to him, <But I'll die!> <And what of Adam and Eve and the countless billions that died
already from aging and from your hand? Every one of them did not want to die, and your actions give
them lives where they had no choice! And now, you yourself are going to feel their pain! You are now
going to know what it is like to do your damnedest to live as long as possible, but in the end die
anyways. And Now you are going to know just how precious life really is. I only hope Jehovah decides
to forgive you this time.> said Claus who was now red. Disgusted, Claus left the room.
-------------------
Claus enjoyed having Kielko back at his side. The two of them were just like a married pair and
in a manner of speaking, were as such. Kielko also enjoyed using her human form: a new ability that
came with her ability. Although she had real limitations due to the fact that Kielko could never be a
carbon copy of a human due to the fact of her being a raven. A week passed from the of Claus' latest
victory, and Claus called a meeting. Unua, Dua, kielko, and the other eighteen showed as Claus said to
them, <It's time for us to once again expand. Our cities are becoming over crowded due to selfing as
well as food shortages from our farming territories being too few.> The twenty of them showed that
they were indeed familiar with these concerns as everyone in the meeting nodded in agreement.
It was at this moment that Unua spoke as she said, <It is true that our population has exploded
and we do need more agricultural territories for sufficient production of our corps. What do you have in
mind, master?> <We buy new territories or share territory with the neighboring states south of us.
Namely India, Burma, and Myanmar. My plan is to unify these three states with our own under mutual
benefit. From what I hear, they too are suffering from civil hardships caused by food shortages. As for
us, It's time to implement a birth-control policy to put our population-growth back under control. As far
as I am concerned, we already have a large enough population for now,> Claus said this as he asked,
<Not as an order, I ask you what the twenty of you think of my plan? Yes or no?>
The response came as a small surprise as everyone in the room, Nodded and unanimously
agreed to this new resolution. Smiling, Claus said, <It looks like the resolution is unanimous. Then it's
decided. Within the week, we're going to hold the interstate unification summit at the base of mount
Everest. This meeting is adjourned.> And indeed, with the week, the summit took place in Nepal at
the base of mount Everest. The heads of states from the three countries of India, Burma, and Myanmar
were there as the and Claus discussed the terms of the Unification. In the summit, it was decided and
established the name of this new unified state would be known as the United Common-wealth of
Autistia, and member states would not have a military of their own, but instead contract the Autistian
military for all military operations: a military force that was only allowed to operate under the
unanimous resolution of the common-wealth. With this new country in place, Claus stepped before the
cameras to make a public statement to the world.
Looking at the cameras, Claus said to the world, -As the president, I hereby declare to the
world the formation of the new state that will be now known to the world as the United Common-
wealth of Autistia. A place where all are welcome no matter their species, race, or background!
And I have but three requirements: Bondage to the state, Helping the helpless, and doing what is
just! And to the world at large, I declare that that our new state never makes the first move, and
will never fight unless we ourselves are first attacked, or been asked to render military aid in our
defense or the defense of others. What I've just said is all that Autistia stands for from now, to the
day we are no more. That is all. Bowing, Claus left the stage as the crowd before him loudly
applauded as they all liked what they all saw.
------------------
In the months that followed, more countries joined the United common-wealth of Autistia. Most
were the third-world countries in Africa and the Asian countries east of Myanmar. Alaska even joined
the common-wealth a month after the other countries. After a period of several years, Autistia was
comparable in size to the Soviet World Federation and had reached superpower status. This however
did not sit well with the Soviets and most of their population who looked to this new superpower with a
mixture of both fear and hatred as Autistia was bigger than America as a threat, and next to China as a
threat. Then there was Autistia's neighbor the Islamic confederacy. And they too hated Autistia. Namely
the Autistians themselvescalling them: 'an abomination before Allah'. America, seeing the ICs Hatred
towards the Autistian common-wealth, decided to support the IC in the Jehad that was planned. And the
American plan was simple: use the war as an excuse to cause the extinction of the Geaetuoj species
itself.
-------------------
Chapter 24
It was dawn, and silent. The naval base could be considered silent, and the crews of the ships
looked forward to another uneventful morning. On board the newly built Battleship Sepa. Shirley
awoke. Having seen that declaration of the Autistian Common-wealth, and her country having joined
the Common-wealth, Shirley had decided to join the newly formed Autistian navy. The Sepa was a real
beauty in her mind. 180 meters long, 30,000 tons, a main battery of six 360mm/65 hyper-velocity naval
guns in three center line turrets and each firing a 500kg shell at a range of 250KM, an 240mm armored
belt in the All-or-nothing armor-scheme, the ship having a conning-tower as the superstructure, an anti-
aircraft battery of ten 48mm/65 rotary cannons, a secondary battery of 24 120mm/65 hyper-velocity
naval guns in six turrets, a flank-speed of 34knots, and a range of 12,000nm.
On board the Sepa, everyone was getting dressed and having their breakfast. It was at this
moment that everyone on the deck stopped as they heard a siren from the base, and then heard on the
ship's speakers, <All hands, This is your Captain! General quarters! Battle-stations! Battle-stations!
This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill! All hands prepare to get under way! We have incoming
hostiles!> Shirley was stunned as she saw everyone making wild dash to their assigned stations,
Shirley was one of the marines that was on duty. Looking up, Shirley saw exhaust-smoke from the
ship's diesel engines begin to stream upwards from the stack as she saw that they really were preparing
to get under way. It was at this moment that moorings were untied, and the battleship began to leave the
dock.
The ship Got up to speed, and Shirley could see that the other capital-ships were also leaving
port as well. It was at this moment that Shirley saw the first several strike-planes appear within her
sight and then begin to dive right at them. Shirley then heard a whistle like a train going by, and then
there were splashes in the water as the bombs missed their mark and exploded in the water next to the
Sepa. Getting a closer look at the attackers, Shirley saw they just weren't any planes, they were
American planes! America was attacking them! It was at this moment that the Sepa opened fire at the
Americans with her 48mm anti-aircraft guns. The sight was spectacular as few of the planes were
exploded when the gun-fire flying at a speed of 1,800 meters-per-second tore into them.
Shirley coundn't believe it! Why would America just attack when Autistia did nothing? Shirley
could hear cheering as The anti-aircraft gunners were the first to make a kill. There were several more
waves of attack aircraft that made attacks on the Sepa as she and the other battleships cleared the port.
On the bridge of the Sepa, the ship-master shouted at her subordinates to give status on the situation in
the base. The ship-master, like the humans and other Geaetuoj on the ship were are asking themselves
the same the same question: 'What the hell is going on!?' The ship master walked over to the radio-
master and asked her, <What the situation out there?!>
<Every base on the Indian/Pakistani boarder is under attack by Islamic Confederacy military
forces.> There was a pause as the she listened and then went pale and disbelief swept over the
Geaetuo's face as she said, <And American forces! American military Units are among the IC in joint
action!> <What the hell?> said the Ship-master as her eyes meet the radio-master's. It was at this
moment that the Ship master said, <We're damn lucky to have been given such advanced warning or
else we would've been sunk in the harbor. What are things like at the naval-base?>
<The base is under full-scale attack by naval air-power. It's not our home-port, master, but all
of our naval bases and coastal batteries are under attack by American naval forces.> <Damn!> said
the ship-master. It was at this moment that the radar-operator said to the ship-master, <Master! The
screen just lit up like a highrise at night! I'm seeing a battle-group converging on our position! From
what I can tell, there seems to be over ten ships total. ETA is about ten minutes until they come into
sighting range. What are your orders, master?> The ship-master both smirked and grinned as she said
in reply, <It's time to put our new battleship to the test! Prepare the main battery for firing! Let's give
these Americans a warm welcome they won't soon forget!> The ship-master then had the radio-master
tell the other battleships to prepare to fire their main guns as well.
Back on the deck, Shirley saw the Sepa was beginning to turn. It was at this moment that there
clack and then a loud whine as the turrets training motor engaged and all three main turrets began to
turn as they took aim at an out of sight target. A few moments later, the turrets stopped rotating as their
guns began to elevate and take aim. It was at this moment that all six guns fired with a sharp
earsplitting roar as a wall of fire shot forth from the Sepa's side as she opened fire. Elisha could see that
the other ships also opened fire at the out of sight target. Back in the Radar room, there was cheering as
one of the enemy ships on the screen disappeared as the volley of six 360mm shells exploded her. And
that was only the first as more ships were sunk by the gunfire from the groups of battleships and pocket
battleships, a type of cruiser, had also joined the fight. After an hour, the few enemy ships that were left
were in full retreat. The first battle of the war had been won.
-------------------
Claus himself was overwhelmed to an extent over the news of these unprovoked attacks. The
meeting with the heads of state from the different states of the common-wealth was also stressful. It
was decided that America, the IC, and the UCA were in a state of war. And Claus was not happy about
it. The last thing he wanted was there to be war. And by his suggestion, he was put in command of all
military operations on both fronts. Claus was going to take care that this would be the last was he
would have to fight. He was going to make sure both of these enemy states would no longer by a threat
to Autistia again! And to do this, Claus would win. And by doing so, make both America and the UC
members of the UCA. So Claus was going to throw in everything but the kitchen-sink into winning the
war.
----------------
Back on the Sepa, they received their first orders. They were be placed in Raider status. The
naval base stacked them up with as much food and ammunition they could carry, and then the Sepa set
sail to begin her mission as a pirate. Shirley could feel the air of excitement from both the humans and
the Geaetuoj alike as they were being given such an important mission. In the following month, the
Sepa sank ship after ship at a rate of over a dozen a month. At the end of the month, the Sepa was
operating in American waters sinking cargo ships as they left port. The crew enjoyed this streak of
success. A week later, they were intercepted by a battle division of three battleships supported by four
cruisers and several destroyers. The Sepa won the engagement, but was too damaged to make it back to
any friendly port in one piece. It was then that the Ship-master decided that they'd make a final assault
on the nearest American naval base.
In the dawn of the next day, the watch personal at the San-Francisco naval base. Were just
starting their shift and sipped their coffee. Several minutes passed, and one of them asked their
Commander, Sir. I think you should take a look at this. The commander walked over, and took a look
through the scope as he saw a ship moving into view. Growing pale, the commander Exclaimed, Oh
my god! It's an Autistian battleship! She's heading right our way at 34knots! Sound an alert! Now! As
the Sepa approached the base, the crew could hear the base's siren blare as gunfire from the coastal-
batteries splashed around the ship. It was at this moment that the Sepa returned fire at the coastal
batteries.
Shirley could see explosions in the distance as shells from the Sepa's two guns in the forward
turret found their mark in the coastal batteries. By now the Sepa had entered the harbor as all twenty-
four of her 120mm/65 secondary guns opened fire at the harbor-patrol vessels. The firepower was
awesome as the secondary guns did their job. It was at this moment that the main guns lined up as the
Sepa opened fire at the docked enemy warshipsblasting away whole sections of their hulls and
completely shattering them as they were nothing more than sitting ducks. The Sepa pumped a constant
volley of gunfire as she used up all of her Ammunition from her primary, secondary, and anti-aircraft
gun batteries.
With the Sepa having destroyed the base, used up her ammo and most of her fuel, the Ship-
master sailed the Sepa one last time to the entrance of the harbor, blocked it off, and scuttled her as she
and her crew left the ship by the dinghies and lifeboats. Everyone made it ashore, but all 1,000 of them
were soon captured by the American authorities and placed in a state prison with America's own
criminals. As the police took Shirley to the prison, Why are you doing this to me? I'm a solder! I have
rights! And you're nothing more than a terrorist, you bitch, said the police-men as they threw
Shirley in with some of her fellow solders as they said to Shirley, I'm sure they'll be happy to execute
you and make it nice and slow, as they laughed and closed the door.
--------------------
Claus heard news of the last stand of the Sepa. As a response, Claus made those service people
national heroes. On the western front however, things could not get anymore worse as his forces were
losing ground to the IC. An enemy who's numbers and sheer fanaticism made them a threat stronger
than any he'd faced before. For the first six months, Claus was a very worried man. It look as if his two
Enemies were winning! But this was beginning to turn in Claus' favor. Claus had restored the output of
new Geatuoj and Equipment and after a year of fighting, He was beginning to gain ground on the
western front as his forces retook the territory claimed by IC. A month passed, and the Autistian army
rolled into Pakistan.
They had no breaks. The Pakistanis gave stiffening military resistance as both their solders and
partisans alike. And one by one the cities came under Autistian control. The next to go was
Afghanistan. The air-force was the main engine of destruction as the bombers dropped countless tons
of 5,000KG earthquake bombs as they carpeted the Enemy caves as the T-55-130s alongside the foot-
troops cleaned up the remainder of Afghan solders. Claus had given the order to his military, 'Crush
them completely,' and his troops were doing just that and doing their damnedest to follow those exact
orders. They were winning, And Claus was looking forward to peace being within his reach. America
was going to be next after the IC, and Claus was going to hit them as hard as he knew how.
Afghanistan was not an easy win. Claus had lost many good people in those battlesincluding
three of his first 1,500 Geaetuoj. But this was not going to stop him. Iran was his next target, as his
forces, all tired, followed his orders and rolled into Iran. Iran was a half repeat of Afghanistan. Again
Claus' bombers did their job as they pounded the Iranian military bases out of existence. After several
months of fighting, the IC surrendered to Autistia. Claus was flown to was left of Kuwat. Once there,
Claus was escorted by several of his solders, and met with the IC's head of state. Extending his hand,
the two shook hands the two and their solders walked to a car that took them to the port where stood
docked was a Sepa class battleship.
Boarding the ship, the two sat at a desk Claus had pulled out of subspace as well as the
surrender document. Presenting the sheet of paper, Claus slid it over to the hand of the president of the
IC. It was at this moment that he signed the paper and thus beginning a peace between and membership
of the IC states into the UCA. Under the guns of the Oka, the war became half-over. Looking at Claus,
the man asked him, <So what Happens now?> -I'll rebuild that which my forces have torn down,
and make it better than before. As for each of the countries, they will be allowed to exist in peace,
and their people given better lives than they had before. By bondage to the state, Everyone works
ten-hour days for five days a week, and will at all times, exhibit absolute abidance of Autistian
law. Other than that, people will have, in most cases, greater freedoms than they had before.
 said the man as he asked Claus, <And will anything change?> -Autistia only steps
in when needed, so little will change. The only change is that member states of the UCA are only
allowed to have no more than a military level police force. Member states contract the Autistian
military for all military operations, only if approved and authorized under direct resolution of
the UCA congress. As the president, I am the commander and chief of the Autistian military. And
every decision I make has to be approved by the congress. As the head of state of the UCA, I am
but a figurehead. AS the premier of Autistia itself, I have complete control. My troops however,
being all Geaetuoj, will not do anything militarily unless we are authorized by UCA congressional
resolution. Call it a fail-safe due to them being hardwired to have absolute obedience. Does this
answer all of you questions? The man nodded as he agreed and both he and Claus concluded their
business.
----------------------
With one enemy out of the way, Claus turned his sights on America itself. Claus knew that this
would be a hard series of battles, but this fact was not going to stop him. He was not going to stop until
the war had been won. And Claus was sick and tired of war. It was true that he might have enjoyed this
in the past, but ever since he became a mimesis, things had changed. He no longer desired the same
things he did when he was young and living in that habitat in the Soviet World federation. Borneo was
the first place he landed troops. Claus quickly found that they had much better equipment than IC. AS
far as the reports told him, the Americans had planned for his expansion, but had made the grave
mistake of underestimating his Geaetuoj because they weren't human. Claus had designed them for
combat from the get-go. They would not lose. Claus knew that much to be true. After a few days, his
forces had taken complete control of the island of Borneo. With Borneo his, Claus moved on to the
Philippines with the help of his fleet.
Claus was again faced with one hard battle after another. Americans offered stiffening
resistance to his own forces as the Americans fought for every foot of soil as his forces slowly took
control of the Philippine islands. A week later, the Philippines became Autistian Territory. Guam was
the next place of conquest for the Autistian fleet as four of the Una class battleships did their job in
supporting the troop landings. Like the other Islands, Guam fell after only a few days of fight. In
Alaska however, The Autistian force of strategic bombers were transferred there as they started a
bombing campaign against the installed military bases to make things easier for the Autistian ground
forces upon their invasion that was planned of America.
Hawaii and Panama were the next two stops for the Autistian Military. Hawaii was taken in
only ten days as the American military again fought for every inch of soil. Claus went there personally
to visit and looked over his new fleet of Aircraft-carriers which he at once renamed, replaced their
piston-engined aircraft with Autistian made pulse-jet aircraft, and then sent them to join the rest of the
fleet. Two days later, Panama was taken, and the fleet went there to enter the Caribbean sea to take
cuba and then prepare for the final invasion: America itself. The Cuban offered no resistace to the
Autistians as they were welcomed into Cuba by the Cubans themselves who a day later, Joined the
UCA by becoming a member.
The invasion of the American mainland was something of a paradox to the Autistian troops. It
became clear that the United states was on the verge of revolution for decades. AS the Autistian gained
ground, the American people actually welcomed them into their towns an city while entire military
units would defect and join the bulk of the Autistian military as they rolled towards the Country's
capital. There was no final battle as they entered the Capital. The president gave no resistance either as
he openly surrendered to Autistia. The war was over! Claus later met with the president as America
joined the UCA upon signing the surrender document as well as the membership document that placed
America as a proud member of the UCA. In San-Francisco, the Sepa was raised, towed, and then
permanently docked at San-Francisco harbor as a monument and museum to to celibate this new era of
peace. At the base of the Sepa, a marvel wall was erected that had the names of all who lost their lives.
Claus himself was very glad that there now was peace. He had won.
--------------------------
Epilog
Shirley stood on the deck of the Sepa as she looked out at the sea before her. Claus walked up to
her and joined Shirley as he saw that there really was peace. It had been a year since the war had ended,
and now there were rising tensions between Autistia and the Soviet World Federation. <It nice to see
you again, Claus. I am glad to see also that Kielko is with you.> Claus nodded as he gazed out at the
water. It was at this moment that Claus asked himself out loud, <Why?> Shirley looked at him as she
said, <But aren't you glad things are now the way they are Claus?> <All I know is that only one war
is over Shirley,> said Claus in reply.
<But it is over, Claus. We won,> Said Shirley as she blushed and looked at Claus. <And by
doing so, we just became the biggest threat to the Soviet World Federation. They are preparing for a
future war. Preparing for war against us.> <But you'll be ready for them?> asked Shirley. <I don't
want to fight them Shirley. I fought the way I did because I just want to be left alone! I never wanted to
fight America and the IC, Shirley. All I want is to live in peace, and that seems to be something they
won't allow. All because my people are not human. Even though I don't want to fight them, Shirly, I'll
be ready for them....when they come.>
