The Night Warriors
A New Beginning
Two young women, in black uniforms, were typing away at computers, hoping to find some information. The two were on a secret mission for the Empire.
"Nothing," the blonde cursed, "when the enemies heard that we were on the way they cleared out of here. Whoever they were, I'll give them credit for doing a good job of covering their tracks. Rache! Say something!"
The brunette looked up from the keyboard as she heard a faint ticking. It was a time bomb set to go off in five minutes. "Ash we leave now!"
The two friends ran out of the deserted building, with just one minute to spare. While the blonde watch the building explode, the brunette headed to her black Hel Cat to report in. "Captain Rachel Elizabeth Schubaltz reporting in, the enemy has evacuated and blown up their own base."
"How did you escape, Captain Schubaltz?" the Major asked narrowing his ugly purple eyes.
Rachel smiled, "I was able to find the bomb, but did not have time to disarm it," she said.
The Major scowled even more. "Where is Captain Ashley Borwick?"
"Still staring at the explosion," Rachel answered.
"Get back here now Captain!"
"Yes sir!" Rachel saluted. The Major scowled deepened once more before he cut the link. Rachel sighed, mission failure. "Ash, lets go home!" The blonde warrior nodded and ran to her black Zaber Fang.
Rachel Schubaltz and Ashley Borwick had lived in the military most of their lives. Rachel had brown hair, unlike her two younger brothers who both were blonde. The one feature Rachel shared with her brothers, Karl and Thomas, was her vibrant green eyes. Her father had been a well respected General before he was killed in combat. Before his death, he had moved eleven year old Karl and Rachel and the twins' six year old younger brother Thomas to the base he worked at because of the recent death of their mother. When Rachel's father died, the base had taken in the Schubaltz children.
Ashley Borwick, unlike Rachel, had no biological family. When she was only a few years old, whoever her real parents were, they left her in an alley. She was then found by a Colonel who adopted her, along with another boy named Alex who the Colonel found a year earlier. Ashley had natural blonde hair, but the ashes in her, when she was found, earned her the name Ashley. She was about the same age as Rachel when she was brought to the same base, and the two girls spent their teenage years like twin sisters.
Ashley's adopted brother, Alex, was discovered in another alley way. He had black hair and was a few years older than Ashley. Surprisingly, the two really came to depend on each other as siblings when the Colonel who adopted them was killed in combat. Once again the base took the children in.
Now, several years after their fathers' deaths, these children, raised by an Imperial military base, have made great contributions to the Empire. Karl Schubaltz, now a Colonel and twenty-six in age, has been a very inspirational leader and assisted in the defeat of the Death Sauer and Death Stinger. At the age of twenty, Thomas Schubaltz was a computer genius, a Lieutenant, part of the Guardian Force, and was instrumented in the of defeat in the Death Stinger.
Ashley was not as lucky as Rachel. During an important battle between the Empire and Republic, Alex was killed. Before his death, Alex had asked if anything should happen to him if he could count on Karl and Thomas to protect his little sister. They had both promised. At his funeral all three Schubaltz kids promised Ashley to be there for her. A few days after the funeral Rachel found several new pictures of Alex hung up in Ashley's room.
No matter how hard she tried to understand that the life of a soldier was dangerous, Ashley never could forgive the Republic. When peace was established Ashley did not try to ruin it like others. Instead she refused to work with, or give respect to, Republican soldiers.
"That mission wasn't a failure you know," Ashley commented. Rachel just laughed; Ashley always could read what was on her mind. "No I'm serious," Ashley, continued, "they had erased all their files so there was nothing to find."
Rachel sighed. "Those enemy soldiers have done something and I want to find out what."
"They're from another country. The Republic is acting on a tip from an unknown stranger that if we're not careful an unknown, enemy country will attack us. Who knows, maybe it's a trap," Ashley pointed out.
"The Republic is our ally," Rachel pointed out, "I don't think they would try to lead us into a trap. And if they did, Karl would be the first to sound the alarm."
Ashley snorted, "Then both you and your twin brother are going soft."
"Ash," Rachel groaned, "we've been over this. We are no longer at war! There are many other people in the Republic who've lost family to Imperial army. We've all had to give something up during the war. At least we're at peace. At least we are not sacrificing our family over a worthless cause!"
"I see what you mean," Ashley murmured.
"I know how you feel," Rachel continued, "but I know that my dad would rather us be at peace with the Republic than trying to gain revenge that would end up in more lives lost. And the same goes for your father and Alex."
Ashley sighed and let a tear roll gently down her cheek before wiping it away. "Okay, no more talking about the Republic betraying us. I'll also try to be more cooperative with the Republican solders. I promise"
Rachel laughed remembering the last time some Republican soldiers came to the base they were currently stationed at. Whenever she had her back turned, Ashley was doing something to make the poor men miserable. She even had the courage to talk back to a Republican Colonel.
"That's good to know," Rachel whispered so Ashley couldn't hear. Then she went back to the bigger problem of a new enemy.
