Chereads / His Guards from Another Planet / Chapter 2 - Royale Duty

Chapter 2 - Royale Duty

I stood confidently beside the Queen, Aoura. She had short blond hair, purple cloaks, and her beautiful silver crown topped with purple jewels, standing talk on her head. She's been our planets Queen for 48 years, and had us survive over 32 battles, and 2 wars.

"Tell me, Comet, any news on your abilities?", she spoke, breaking my train of thought.

"I managed to turn into your companion, Sue and summon a strong wind. ", I responded.

She looked at me thoughtfully as she tapped her chin. Thinking.

"At this rate", she started, "you should be able to have full control by next year or two years from now" , she smiled.

I chuckled at her excited tone. She seemed so fascinated in me for not only my status but for my own growth.

"Hopefully," I sighed.

"What do you mean, hopefully?", she yawned, sitting into a more comfortable position on her throne.

"I have this.. Gut feeling. Like something's off.." , I started.

"Like what? Another war? A battle? That's what your gut feelings always lead to.", she sat up tall looking at me, with a slightly worried expression.

"If that's the case, I'll protect you and the people" , I said determindly, bowing with my hand holding the end of my sword.

She smiled fondly at me before speaking out, "I have no fear that you alone can end a war or a battle," she spoke confidently. Making me look up to meet her eyes.

"You managed to end one of the wars against Marts back when you were only 15, after discovering your first ability, shapeshifting. Who knew, you as a spy would end the war, let alone the last war in quite some time, young lady."

Her eyes looked fogged over, as if reliving the moments.

"You saved my brother and I from certain death during the first war. It was the least I could do." , I stated back.

She looked me up a and down, scanning my armour. "See, that's one of the many things I love about you. Your loyalty. Which is why I've wanted to ask you-", she was interrupted by a loud bang, making us both jump.

I quickly ran in front of the throne, drawing my sword from my side. Getting ready for battle as the Queen stood up quickly, yelling out for her other Royal guards.

I kept my eyes trained on the entrance doors, the only entrance.

"Comet!" , I snapped from my thoughts at the rough pushing at my armour.

"Yes, my Queen?" , I shouted over the shuffling of the other guards getting in formation.

"They can keep me safe, but go! Protect our people. I need to get to the bunker to launch plan B.", she commanded.

I nodded as I ran off to the entrance doors, launching them open to see the commotion. Only to be shocked. Smoke was rising from buildings, people were running in all directions, screaming.

My eyes scanned the crowd, looking for the cause and any sign to help me find it, when I spotted my brother and friend. I ran over to them, yelling over the noise.

"What's going on?!"

My brother, Castor spun around to face me, panicked written on his face. Same with Mina.

"Theirs people with crazy abilities exploding an setting fire to everything!" , he shouted, scanning the crowd for any injured people.

His ability is healing, allowing him to stay at the perfect health and being able to heal other almost just as well.

"I last saw them going to the Earthro teleoporters! Go, hurry!" , Mina shouted as she began shoving me in the direction. "We got the people over here safe, I'll give them orders and your brother will heal any injured people!"

I glanced back at them before shifting into a hawk, a form I figured out with the help of Earthro sending one of every animal to our planet.

Due to my ability, I can only shift into a form if I saw that creature/thing before, and the Queen managed to get them to send their animals.

I flew towards the teleoporters as quickly as I could. Before stopping, nearly skydiving downwards, when I saw the amount of people trapped between the teleoporters and the cause of the commotion.

It looked to be tall, muscular, men with jet black armour with a red pin. My pin was purple, and the last time I saw that pin was back during the last war and 5 of the battles.

By the looks of it, there were at least 30 of them with 8 in the back with their hands outstretched, constantly letting flames erupt from the palms. Trapping the people.

Their only options were to fight, die in flames or go to Earthro, where they can't return. They all violently shook, making me furious. I let out a long, sharp bird cry as I dove down in between them.

The Marts people jumped at the sudden noise, making the people with fire abilities stop producing flames. I shifted back to my normal form, looking down as I quickly pulled my helmet down to cover my face, before facing them.

It was never good to show your face as a Royal guard. It makes your enemies either more determined to defeat you or increase your chances of battles to kidnap you for their own battles. And I, was most wanted for my status.

The leader of the Marts stood proudly, with his hand being the only thing exposed without armour.

"He must have a ability revolved around his hands," I thought silently.

"You must be that special guard, aren't you?" , the leader boomed, voice deep and raspy.
