could have they entered our defenses and gotten to us? said Kai gripping his weapon tight.
“I don’t know, but I might have a possibility who it might be, look someone is coming out.” said Ace.
“Why did we not spot or noticed them coming, our radars are the best and would of tracked them miles away from or defenses.” whispered Master Squall.
Slowly someone began to briefly walk out and stood still half way of the platform, looking around and examining everything in sight. Blueskies, some in uniforms others not ran around as they noticed the ships landing. Many aimed their weapons at him and the ships. The individual glared around, he wore black, dark armor, dark gloves with spikes and a mask of dark steel. Every part of his body was covered by the strong dark looking armor. His dark cape reached his ankles.
Ace and the others ran towards the hundreds of Bluskies that had gathered to surround the ships, many were guarding the entranced of the base aiming their weapons at the intruders. The man in dark armor looked at Ace and the rest.
“So you’re the famous Ace of the blues.” said the guy.
As he spoke in a menacing voice, two others began to walk out of the ship that wore similar uniforms like the first one. Behind the two came yet another person, but this one had different kind of uniform, his was also black and dark looking but he had shoulder pads and kneed pads, gloves that had circler glass orbs and his mask was blue. The man’s cape was dark purple.
They stood quiet still, glaring at the blue soldiers, they were many.
“What a welcome.” said one of the men that came second on the left, he spoke bitterly.
“Let them hate us, as long as they fear us.” said the other on the right.
As he finished speaking his pleasant quote, the ship in which they emerged from unleashed giant weapons that look deadly from around the ship various types of powerful weapons. All the blues braced them self’s and began to get nervous for no orders were given to fire at the intruders.
The man that emerged last, began to walk towards Ace and looked at him face to face, Ace could only see his reflection on the mask shiny steel. He began to back up and as soon as he was a far distance away from them the big aircraft started firing at the ships and at the base every single soul fired back at the imposters with everything they had.
“Ah duck!” shouted Kai.
The aircraft launched missiles of all sorts and lasers that blew up the base little by little, down came crashing many small buildings and concrete, all was destroyed by the huge guns once it halt its assault. None of the bullets that were fired back by the Blue’s hit the four men or the aircraft. They were left untouched and safe. Everyone of the blue’s cried out in horror at their home and shouted curses in anger.
The person who had stepped out first took out a black, hand gun.
“I love this job.” he shouted.
Quickly the man shot Zack and moved his arm to his left as his pointed his weapon at them and as it automatically shot bullets. Zack was hit on the leg near the knee.
“Ah! My leg, the pain, it hurts.” yelled Zack.
“Zack!” shouted Kai dropping to aid Zack.
“Drop your weapons and surrender at once, unless you want more people to get hurt.” said the man who looked Ace into the eyes.
“How dare you, you cowards!” shouted Ace at them.
“This doesn’t need to be the hard way now.” The man replied.
“You won’t get away with this.” said Ace bitterly.
“Never!” shouted Ace. “The Blueskies Clan does not surrender, we will fight until death.”
“Right, that’s how we were trained and thought.” said the person yet again.
Ace recoiled in confusion, raised and thought what was he talking about thought Ace. The man chuckled and began to unclick little locks on his neck that connected his helmet to his shoulders. Hesitating, the man began to remove his helmet. Ace's eyes widen in shock and denial.
“Leo?” said Ace in a sad and soft voice.

Chapter 10
Rise of the New Enemy
“No this can’t be you can’t be here I, I saw you blow up, the flames engulfed you, no this can’t be.” muttered Ace.
Leo smiled and placed his helmet under his arms.
“Yes, how you been Ace. Hasn’t been too long but sure feels like it doesn’t it now.” Leo said rubbing the plate that sat above the mask of his helmet, it was the same triangular mark the Soul Eaters had; it was engraved on the plate.
“Now please drop your weapons and follow our directions, I highly doubt you want it to get ugly.” said Leo.
Soul Eaters and other men that wore the same kind of armor the Soul Eaters wore began to emerge from the ships that surrounded the aircraft and aimed at them with weird, alien like dark weapons. Ace and his man looked around, their man began to put their weapons down, it seemed they had no hope since many black ships continued to come from the sky.
“Allow me to introduce to you my man, The Black Ops. They are the best of the best; I assume you have met the soul eaters already so let’s put introduction aside.” He chuckled. “You may be wondering why I’m here, alive, no it’s not a miracle, I’m here looking for squall where is he.” demanded Leo.
Ace glared at Leo in betrayal and hurt, his eyes trembled and his arms shacked. He scarcely found the words to speak to him.
“F-For what purpose?” said Ace still in disbelief.
“Let’s say he has something I want or more like need.” He gestured to the destroyed base.
“What would that be?” asked Ace.
“You don’t need to worry Ace.” He said in a manner of boredom. “Ace you are boring me to death, if your weapons can’t kill me, well your presence and curiosity surely will.” He laughed.
“What why would you talk to me like that we are best friends.” said Ace.
“No, Ace, we were best friends until I realized my true potential was higher than yours, that I was with the wrong side, the wrong people that I was with the weak. I decided to join them, where my skills brought me to become the 2nd in command, The Black Ops we are a clan of dark and we are to consume everything and kill anyone who is against us.”
Leo had a face that craved more power.
“As for the soul eaters, they follow our command; they do what we tell them to do, but they won’t be around for long as soon as we get the items we desire, with their help it will be much easier, I will make sure they get destroyed once we gather them.”
Leo’s expression explained it all, he was mad over power.
“I am here for Squalls item, the soul eater’s posses one as well, as do the reds, we will be unstoppable ha ha ha as if we are not already.” said Leo determined.
“Wait, your here for the......... key item.” said Kai.
“Yes of course the piece, squall has it and if he doesn’t hand it over we will destroy you all, heh sorry Ace, you and me were good friends the best indeed but I am a different person now, that day that I, ‘died’ in the explosion.”
Leo began walking towards the his aircraft.
“I was asked to join the Black Ops to help lead and army to have all the power I could possibly have and want. To rule this galaxy and conquer beyond, heh, the reds stood no chance against us but still fought without holding back unfortunately three battle aircraft escaped or more like slipped away from us sadly one of them was carrying the piece that they possessed, I assume Atzu was in that little ship.”
“Long story indeed.” said the first person who had shown himself at first.
“But not to worry we know where 3 of the pieces are, #1 your weak clan possess #2, our helpful soul eaters and #3 the idiotic reds. We our self’s have in our grasps the 4th piece and we will find the last one but first we start with you.” said Leo once he finished his long story.
“We won’t let you get a hold of it.” said Ace.
“Fine have it your way Ace, always so naïve. said Leo.
“And you so arrogant.” replied Ace.
“Indeed.” He said. “Shoot the one on the far right!” he shouted.
“Ah, no!” yelled Kai.
One of Leo’s men shot Sunny on the shoulder and down he came.
“No! Why Leo you damn traitor! We trusted you!” shouted Ace.
From the back many black ops came out and ran to seized them. Many blues tried to fight. Black Ops and Blueskies killed each other, many soul eaters die as well. But shortly after the intention, the blue’s surrendered. Soul Eaters and Black ops broke in to the base, the power was down and the defense weapons were all destroyed that protected the base. They captured all the blues and Master Squall who waited for them in his banged up office. He fought with all his skill and might but was taken down; he was injured on his leg and arm, shortly after he handed over the key item.
As for Ace and Kai, they were captured and taken hostage along with their squads and Master Squall.
“I can’t believe this Ace how Leo could betray us like this.” said Sunny who bled a lot and held his shoulder tight with Ace’s help.
“He’s a dead man to me he killed many of ours.” said Ace.
“He nearly killed you Sunny, you’ll be ok, the potion will heal you, good thinking on your part Ishy.” said Ace.
They looked and saw through a little window a saw that they were headed into space.
“Were do you think we’re going? If they are looking for the other pieces they are going the wrong way the reds are in the planet,” said Simon.
“I don’t know.” said Ace in a low voice.
“We need to get out of here.” said Ishy.
“Yeah and how? We don’t have our weapons or anything just stuck in this damn cell.” said Kai.
Ace looked and saw 4 men guarding the path to the exit door of the jail chamber. I have an idea he said.
Chapter 11
Lord of Dark
“Alright you guys do as I do and don’t mess it up as soon as one of those guards comes in, find a way to knock him out and take his guns and shoot the others if necessary.” said Ace
“What are you up too?” said Kai.
“Just follow my lead, and don’t mess it up.”
Ace fell to the ground and started yelling in pain.
“Ah help I am cursed ah!”
The others looked at him in embarrassment to see their leader behaving in this manner. The other guards came running in one looked at Ace in the eyes and the others guard the rest. Ace suddenly punched the guard and took his hand gun and shot him on the leg. The other guards looked back and as they did the others took their hand guns out and also
