Chapter 1: Invasion
Cara, Queen of the Nations was uneasy. Something was approaching the boarders of the nation. Something evil.
She sighed. Deep down she knew what was coming. The agents of the Lord of Mordor.
The nation had been betrayed by one of their own. A guard called Koro, had broken the enchantment on the block of amber containing the One Ring.
Koro was dead, killed by the Royal guards has she was beginning to brake the amber block.
She pressed a button. "Summon the Council of Queens." She spoke. Letting go of the button she added. "So if I am destined to die, let it be worth a song."
Cara spoke an ancient enchantment. Her sword Fire Blade, appeared in her hand. "Well, old friend the final times at upon us."
On the broader Amazon space the automatic defence systems activated. The early warming systems sounded the alert. Drone fighters were launched from the bases near the outer defence perimeter.
The Call to Arms began.
Cara sat in the council chamber the lower queens also. "We are facing total destruction." Cara stated. "The outer defence grid near the outer most planets came online at yellow status less than hour ago. It as now gone to full battle mode."
There was shocked looks. Very few would directly attack the Confederation of Amazon and Bacchae.
"I have sent the third and forth fleets to evacuate the outer colonies." Cara informed them. "They have orders to remain unobserved by the attacking forces."
"My Queen," came over the intercom. "There's a link for you on Amazon channel one, from Vice Admiral Zola of the fifth fleet." The Fifth fleet was assigned to repel invaders at the moment.
"Zola," Cara spoke activating the link at her end the viewer in the chamber appeared.
"My Queen," The elderly Amazon spoke. There was fire surrounding her. "The battle is not going well. Lost most of our fighter cover, the light cruisers are gone, lost 12 of the heavy cruisers. The carriers are disabled."
"Port shields failing." Came a shout.
"They attack in superior numbers. It's the weight of numbers. Half the time they just ram their fighters into us." The Admiral continued. "Tell my . . . " Then there was static.
"Activate all fleets." Cara spoke. "Fully mobilisation."
She pressed a few button on her chair arm. "Home world defence grid activated. City shields and energy fields powering up."
"Stop record." Angelus son of Willow and Angel. Closed his eyes. "You did what could sister now its up to me."
He walked over to where his niece was sleeping. They were on the star ship Hope. It was cloaked, as were all the remaining vessels of the second fleet. The ships were on their way to join up with the remaining vessels of the ninth fleet. The planets and colonies were in ruins.
"Can I come in?" A woman asked she was carrying a tray of food.
"Course Aunty Cordy." He smiled weakly at Cordelia Chase.
"You need to eat you haven't eaten in two days." Cordelia was in her stern 'you will do what you are told mode.'
"Thank you." Angelus was tired. He not slept in three days. "Is there any word of my brother-in-law?"
"Mark, is listed as missing." Cordelia placed the tray down. "We do have word John, escaped."
"Where is my nephew?" If he lives then, maybe the prophecy is false Angelus thought.
"On the Questor." The old Bachae paused. "He saw, Mary and Kate die. I'm sorry." She placed a hand on the shoulder of Willow's last born son. "Your aunts and their families they didn't."
"That leaves only Gabriella, not accounted for." Angelus looked defeated. "I fear she is dead already. Strange how the final prophecy was caused by something my mother did at the request of the powers that be."
"Final prophecy?" Cordelia was powerful, one of the most powerful of all the Bachae, being mothered by Willow herself. Yet she was unknowing about the final page of the codex.
"The codex foretold this," Angelus sighed, tears in his eyes. "The codex was created from mom's visions."
John rested his head against the buck head of the Questor. A group of Amazons and Bachae where preparing Mary and Kate for burial. "What kind of brother can't even protect his baby sisters?" He looked out into space. "They were seven and five for god's sake." He sobbed.
Buttercup Chase was chanting an ancient ritual rite over the bodies of Mary and Kate. Cordelia's daughter's looked up from her chanting. "You would have died to, if you had been there. As it is you well lucky to escape with a few broken ribs fighting those creatures."
"They killed Aunt Rose and Aunt Anne." John turned to where the bodies of his aunts were currently resting. "They killed, my cousins and their children too, buried the house down around them." Sixteen coffins contained their remains. "Hear me, Sisters, Aunts and Cousins, they will pay for this I swear this on my blood." He cut his hand.
Willow Rosenberg was marching right up to the place in the heavens, where the higher powers dwell. She had tears running down her face. She was in resolve mode. The doors opened.
"Willow, Queen and Founder of the Amazon nation wishes to speak." Came a voice.
"What in all the realities, as happened?" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
"The Dark Lord of Mordor, as reclaimed the ring of power itself." Cara appeared before her mother.
"How did it happen?" Willow sobbed. Angel how had followed her wrapped Willow in his arms.
Angelus looked out at the stars as the star passed them. Hermione was messing with his long hair. The six month old heir to the Queenhood was lucky. The Hope was one of the most cloaked vessels in the all the fleets it also had an interdimensional jump capable engine. An advance hull and shield design had kept the attacking creatures suicide pilots from reaching the ship's hull.
The young Queen pulled on her Uncle's hair. She knew something was wrong. Uncle Angel was answering her cries to feed and change her, not Momma or Daddy. She was both confused by this and mad that Momma and Daddy did not come.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Angelus looked at his niece. "I promise."
Hermione gave him a baby smile.
