Chapter 4, A confusing Landing?

Lili saw but a flash of light followed by total darkness. But it wasn't the end for her, for her core of light could not be undone so easily.

Instead she was thrown upwards into the ceiling of the hanger from where she watched as her former body parts blew apart into all directions, the grenade ripped off the hulking figures head, blew apart multiple infected that had stood too close to Lili and dust flew everywhere.

Though Lilis attention as she saw the carnage under her was immediately turned to a simple question. Where is the Sargent?

And by the power of this simple thought her core of light began to fly out of the hanger. It flew past the hulking infected figures, the burning ship and out into the cold and gray nuclear winter.

From where she was drawn up into the cloudy sky above. Like a magnet her core seemed to lock onto its target up there as it began to fly with incredible speed.

In the gray clouds lightning flashed and as she flew within the electric clouds a figure of light was seen there. For a moment Lili could swear that she saw an fair handsome face of an old wise looking man who seemed to be full of distress. From his back mighty white angelic wings sprouted out and its hands reached out to her as he flew in an attempt to catch her.

"Wait, your destiny is not there my child! You must return to the path and guide your people to their destiny!"

It desperately called out to her, but she nimbly dodged its hand of light and defiantly said.

"No, I must save the Sargent! He needs me, besides I didn't even get to ask him his name!"

Flying through the clouds and into the outer atmosphere Lili could feel that she was close to the Sargent now. But just then a feeling of danger came to her once more, and just in time she moved left as a bolt of lighting that held the angelic being within it flashed by her.

"Don't do this my child! You're fate is much greater than his! Countless billions of lives are at stake here!"

It yelled to her again in a mix of annoyance and desperation, but Lili didn't listen and merely said.

"Sorry angel but, I have to save the Sargent. His so close, I can feel him."

And just as she Said this, she saw a small gray light within the darkness of space. It was the Sargent's little soul slowly floating up out of the solar system and to wherever heaven was, Lili figured.

With ease she caught up to him, and from her core of light tentacles of white light like arms came out and wrapped around it. Pouring her energy within the Sargents soul Lili could see it turn into a lighter white colour as she happily called out to it mentally.

"Don't worry Sargent I'm not letting you go. As a future medic of the Imperium I will do my duty, and I will heal you right back up."

The Sargent didn't say anything back to her. It was as if the Sargent was in a state of stasis, just sleeping and slowly trying to wander up towards the gates of heaven.

And then the feeling of danger came again and behind her self, close to the sun she saw the angelic being seemingly charging up its energy again. But with the Sargent in her hands she failed to react in time, as the flash came again much faster than before.

Suddenly Lili found herself within the hands of the angelic being of light as it somewhat angrily said to her.

"Damnit girl, just let go of him already. His fate is with me now and yours is elsewhere."

It was trying to rip the Sargents soul out of her tentacles of light, but she resisted again.

"No way, I'll never let the Sargent go!"

but though she said this and tried her best to struggle against this being, its power was too great. And as soon as her grip loosened on the Sargent, the angelic being let him go, but pulled back ready to cast her back towards the planet as he said again.

"Now my child, go back in time and change your fate as you were always meant to do. See to it that the Sargent and everyone else resist and overcomes this plague along with all the other threats of the Galaxy that humanity faces."

The angelic being seemed to mean well, but Lili didn't want to leave the Sargent and so she called out to him desperately.

"No Sargent don't leave me."

With her tentacles of light she tried to reach out to him, but she fell a bit short. The angelic being was going to toss her away from the Sargent, but then something happened that the angelic being did not expect.

From the Sargents now whiter soul a single small tentacle of light reached out and grabbed a hold of Lilis tentacle. And just then she was tossed along with the Sargent who she tightly held on to.

"No, why would you do this my child!"

The angelic being yelled to her, as she along with the Sargent flew towards the planet of Achios that before their sights was turning green again as if time was turning backwards.

But as she pulled the Sargent into her embrace the action of this caused their course to change as they were then flung past the planet and deep into space.

And as they flew Lili could see the angelic beings form of light try again to reach out to them, but as if having used too much of its energy it quickly faded away and disappeared.

Left alone with the Sargent Lili held onto him for dear life as they flew away further and further from Achios. Soon stars seemed to be rolling past them at incredible speed.

All the while Lili continued to try and revive the Sargent, and little by little she could in fact start to feel him begin to move.

"Sarge, can you hear me?"

Lili tried to call out to him as the two of them soon began to slow down and were plunged down towards a peaceful mostly blue planet. There were no fleets or satellite's in space and the land below was green and beautiful with mild cloud cover.

Like a singular beam of white barely noticeable light the two of them pierced through the white puffy clouds and fell towards the north side of a long river. Lili could see a small town there with zero tall buildings. With only fields and some forest covered hills surrounded it.

And on the other side of the river Lili saw a glimpse of what looked like an army. Dressed in dark blue woolen jacket's with brass buttons, red pants on their legs, black leather boots, simple tall cylindrical hats on their heads, rifles with beyonets in hand, and strange bags on their backs.

There were maybe a good 30 thousand of them all trying to get across three stone bridges leading into the other side of town. Their uniforms were truly quite bright, not something that would in any shape or form help a person blend into the environment.

And opposite of them within the town were men in similar dark blue uniforms, except that they wore spiked helmets and sky blue pants, while firing back at the ones crossing the bridges. The civilians though seemed to be hiding within their homes, while the battle raged on and smoke was everywhere as the men with only hats tried to cross the bridges while firing back into the town.

Lili could see men falling from the bridges and falling onto the cobblestone streets dead. Their blood was slowly beginning to cover the gray streets of the town red, and yet they tried to bravely push over the bridge.

Seeing it Lili couldn't help but feel at a loss. Humans fighting humans, was there a civil war going on here? But why were they all dressed so lightly and using such slow firing rifles, and wearing such bright uniforms?

To her it seemed like these men were just asking to be shot, although the men with the sky blue pants and spiked helmets were a bit better dressed, but even they were extremely poorly camouflaged in her opinion. Plus their helmets seemed extremely simple and primitive, totally unable to stop even a single bullet.

All in all she had so many questions now, but her thoughts were quickly cut short as she descended down next to the long river with the Sargent. And as the light touched the grassy ground below Lili saw her body begining to once again form around her core, and strangely the same type of body was being formed around the Sargent as well.

He seemed to be forming into a bit bigger of a girl that was a good head taller than her. The Sargent seemed to be growing small tits on himself, a slender waist, somewhat developed curves, hips bigger than her own and beautiful fair skin. Then Lili saw shoulder length brown hair come out of the Sargents head, followed up by him forming a cute round face with full cheeks and a rounded chin with little angular features to her overall facial structure. The Sargent was cute, and to top it all off he had a cute button nose and then his now large blue eyes opened and looked at her in confusion.

No more did the Sargent look like a scary man with blonde hair and icy blue eyes. No, now he was a cute girl with a body that seemed to belong to a girl at least at the age of 10.

While she herself seemed to be forming into her normal petite form that seemed so small that she could easily be mistaken for a girl much younger than what she was. She seemed to have her blonde hair and her eyes reflected from the Sargents blue eyes seemed to be a deep blue still. She still had her doll-like face, which now looked a bit ill when coupled with her pale complexion. And unlike the Sargent she had basically no curves, just some abs and muscles that she had gained from her training with the Sargent within the Metro.

Then as the light faded away from around them, they unceremoniously fell to the ground like rocks.

"Iikh!"

Lili yelped out in her soft girlish voice, as the Sargent surprisingly did the same.

"Kyaahh, nooooo!"

Falling to her knees Lili looked at the Sargent laying there next to her on his, or in this case her girlish hands and knees. She almost couldn't believe it, but the big girl next to her was the Sargent and he or she sounded so cute.

Seeing the Sargent Lilis 6 year old mind couldn't help but squeak out in excitement and say.

"Oh my God Sarge your so cute now! Wowsers just how did you do it? I want to have boobs like you also!"

Instantly the Sargent sat on her knees, like so planting her naked well developed bubble butt on her heels, as she as if out of instinct covered her chest and looked to Lili in outrage and yelled.

"Wa wa what did you say? I I, I don't have boobs! I'm a, I'm a, man?"

And then as if realising something the Sargent covered her mouth with her slender hand, looked at her boobs, and then in-between her crotch and yelled in shock.

"What the hell, where's my pride? Wait why do I sound like a girl? Lili what the hell did you do to me?"

Lili jumping to her feet then proudly slapped her right hand upon her naked chest, and announced in victory.

"I saved you Sarge! I did just as you said that a medic should do. Believe it or not, but I actually managed to blow myself up with a grenade, and within my dead state I found your soul and somehow I managed to bring you back."

Though saying this Lili then looked around at the river behind her, the trees next to the river and the fields that surrounded the small town from where smoke was rising and the sounds of battles were heard. Seeing it all Lili felt a bit unsure as she said.

"Ummmm, though I don't know where we are now Sarge. But I did see people within town killing eachother, so this place has to be safe from the infected at least, right? After all there is green grass, trees, water, puffy white clouds traveling across a clean blue sky, the sun is shining and there are no infected around."

Listening to Lilis words the Sargent's seemed to fall into thought as she looked around, looked at her own body, pinched her new faces cute cheeks and then flinched in pain as she said.

"Auch. That hurts."

The Sargent then rubbed her cheek with wide eyes and said.

"No way. No way, no fucking way. What the fuck? Why am I a girl?"

Now Lili felt a bit concerned as she looked at the Sargent mumbling in anger to himself on the ground. For whatever reason tears started forming in the Sargent's eyes as she slammed her head into the grassy ground.

In concern Lili crouched down next to the Sargent and placed a hand on her back to comfort her. And there within the Sargent she then felt a light now. To her surprise the Sargent also seemed to have a white core of light like her own.

And not only did it seem similar, but it felt familiar as well. Somehow she had seemingly managed to give upon the Sargent a part of her own core that now through the touch of their naked skin seemed to be warmly reacting to her.

Feeling it Lili quickly rubbed the Sargent's back as she said.

"Don't be sad Sarge. You might not be a boy anymore, but you at least have a piece of my core within you now. So now you can become a great Planetary King twice as fast with my help. Plus your cute and together we can totally now build a big strawberry garden for our selves with huge strawberries much bigger than within the Metro."

The Sargent as if not hearing anything past her first words just looked upon her hands. And with Lili sending her light within the Sarge through her palm that was upon Sarge's back, soon faint light began to form within the Sargents slender hands.

Seeing it the Sargent's eyes went as wide as they could and her mouth fell open in shock, as Lili congratulated her.

"Yey, you see Sarge, now you too can grow big strawberries. Isn't it great."

The Sarge closing her hands made the light go away, as a devious grin then came upon her cute face as she said.

"Yes, yes yes, this is great. No this is fantastic Lili."

And with that the Sargent suddenly shuffled on her knees to face Lili, as she grabbed Lilis shoulders, looked into her eyes and excitedly said.

"Do you get it Lili? Me and you are going to be Kings. And once we become stronger we will not just be Kings, but we will be richer than anyone else within the Imperium. We will create the greatest and most productive agricultural world imaginable, and sell our food for huge sums of credits. For it will not just be organic clean food, but our food thanks to our magic will heal people and render most medical technology of the Imperium obsolete. We will be like true Gods and the people will love us for it. Yes this is absolutely fantastic."

Lili was shocked, the Sargent suddenly looked a bit scary and crazy as she spoke of her great plans. Although hearing the Sargents words Lili couldn't help but correct her by saying.

"Mmm, Sarge you mean Queen right? Planetary Queen and Goddesses, right? I I, I mean your not a boy anymore, right?"

Instantly at Lilis words the Sargent's face dropped and she once again looked at her own naked self and Lilis. But still she quickly got to her girly feet, flicked her short brown hair back uncaringly and said.

"Don't jump to conclusions Lili. We just arrived here and so there is no knowing what manly forms our bodies might still grow into. After all it is not like a mere mortal being other than ourselves have such power, and so we are unnatural creatures. We are much more than just men or women, we are soon to be gods."

Lili was amazed, the Sargents sounded so smart. And now she couldn't help but wonder if she in fact was neither a boy or a girl, but maybe something like that angelic being of light.

Then the Sargent finally started to take note of their surroundings. Her eyes fell upon the town from where the shouts of men and crackling of gunfire could be heard. And then the Sargent seemed to take note of the dirt road further to their right past the open field of black soil, and the sign that stood there.

The letters on the sign were not written in the High Imperial language, but seemed more like numbers to Lili. However the Sargent managed to mutter out a name.

"Saarbrucken?"

Then the Sargent looked at her own naked figure, and then to Lili as she seemingly quickly came up with a plan as she said.

"Ok Lili, I have no Idea where we are. However as Imperial basic protocol dictates it is what Lili? What do we need to do when stranded on an unfamiliar planet that possibly is not within the Imperium's spear of influence?"

Lili putting her hands to her chin searched her memory, and then the answer came to her as she excitedly answered the Sargent by saying.

"Mmm, we should stay calm, assess the situation. Activate the emergency beacons if possible. Seek shelter, water and food to survive. Avoid detection and stay hidden. Also using navigation tools to find an escape route back to friendly territory is important. And if not possible then we should try to establish contact with the Imperium and find a safe place to wait for rescue. But most of all we must not give out any vital information about the Imperium to the enemy, if capture is imminent then it is best if we prepare ourselves to fight till the end and die in glorious combat."

The Sargent hearing Lilis answer nodded approvingly. She had gotten the basics down well, however the Sargent then was quick to say.

"Very good my little student, but in this situation we must compromise. Seeing as we came by no ship, we are naked, and we seem to have no persuers here. We will now instead become one with the local population. I will become your big brother Jen, and you will be my little brother Jin. We will be the Jen Jin brothers who are no more than lost orphans on what from the sounds of that battle seems to be a true battlefield. Ok little brother Jin, do you understand?"

Lili could immediately catch on to the Sargent's meaning of playing pretend, and she was more than happy to play the part of little brother Jin, as she said.

"Yes big brother Jen, I little brother Jin understand."

And with that said the two young and very much naked girls, now pretending to be boys named Jen and Jin ran towards the village in search of clothes.

Further away from a farmhouse at the outskirts of town a boy who had been watching the battle from afar was shocked. With trembling hands he pointed at the two naked girls running in the distance and called out to his dad.

"Dad look, those girls are naked!"

The dad along with the rest of the family hearing this quickly rushed over to the side window from where the boy could see the girls. And as they all stuffed their heads against the window they watched with shock as the two girls ran into a homes backyard. And from there without any shame they could see the two naked girls steal some boys clothes that were left to dry there.

And they were not just taking any clothes, but boys dark blue military style clothes. Knee length pants, black leather shoes, plain white shirts with short military jackets on top, and black leather gloves.

Seeing the two cute girls not only stealing, but dressing up like boys left the whole family stunned. What sort of wild girls were they, they wondered? But they did not dare to leave their home in fear of the gunfire.

Lili and the Sargent though were totally unaware of this, or what it was that they were even putting on. The white underwear felt alright, but what the heck were the clothes that they now wore?

Well they didn't stop to think about it too much, as the Sargent pulled Lili by her hand and led her further into the town.

There were no high buildings, but the further they headed in, the bigger the town seemed to be. Small brick and stone houses were everywhere and all around people were watching them from the windows.

Some even shouted to them.

"Hey girls! What are you doing out there? Its dangerous! Now come on in here, you can hide here where its safe till the threat passes!"

The people seemed friendly and were quick to offer assistance to them. But the Sargent merely seemed to become annoyed at their words as she yelled to them.

"Don't worry were alright. And we are boys ok, not girls!"

Although Sargent said this, the people merely seemed to become confused. They clearly didn't believe her, and so Lili was quick to jump to the Sargent's rescue and in her soft girlish voice yell.

"Yeah, were big scary men with big pipis! Believe it!"

Although this also didn't seem to help as the Sargent was quick to tell her to be silent, and she was.

Then only after some time did they then make it close to the first bridge. Where they heard a lot of crackles of the guns coming, and as they got closer they found there to be several levels of barricades on the streets leading to the bridge.

Many spike helmet men manned the first barricade closest to the bridge, as others hid in the one to three story buildings. Running to a street further back and peeking at the battle from there, they could see that the battle to cross the bridge had become a stilmare.

On the other side of the bridge, the red pants people with hats took cover in buildings and behind makeshift covers as well, while firing back at the spiky helmet people.

Lili seeing it was immediately horrified at the gruesomeness of the scene there. Bodies of red pants people littered the bridge and the streets around the bridge. While on the barricades of the spiky helmet people men also lay dead, although many were merely wounded, or on the brink of dying.

Lili didn't know why they were there watching such a scene, but the Sargent apparently did. She was in fact quick to assess the situation and seemingly come up with a plan as she looked to Lili and say.

"Hahaa, zee that white flag with the black eagle on it that the men with spikes on their helmets are standing around. It's not the two headed eagle flag, but if I had to guess that's some imperial regiment's flag. And so here's the plan."

Pulling Lili back behind the corner the Sargent then seriously said.

"Now Lili, remember if anybody asks who you are. You will say that your Jin, my little brother, and you are a war orphan ok. Because we are going there Lili, we will join the fight. But not as rifleme, but as medics ok."

Lili nodded prefucely as the Sargent then continued by saying.

"Now let's save those men with pointy helmets and start to make a name for our selves. Soon all will know of the Jen and Jin brothers. And we will become legendary medics ok, but we will do it discreetly ok. Let's just heal them with our magic secretly as we apply dressing to their wounds and some backta. We don't want them to become too suspicious of us ok? Not at least until we know a bit more about this place and build a name for our selves. After all there is no telling what these people might do if they know just how powerful we truly are. Do you understand Lili?"

Lili once more nodded prefucely, although she didn't really understand why they couldn't just tell everyone that they could heal people and grow back their limbs.

And with this in mind the two headed into the midst of the men who fought for the black eagle.
