Free Defending Earth-Searching for Death Feeders by Saxon Andrew Page B

Kyle faced the wilds toward the northern edge of the field and closed his eyes.
    “What are you doing?” Kyle raised his hand and waved it at the Elder. The Elder heard a loud roar coming from the north that was deafening. His eyes went wide as six giant Grondons broke through the edge of the brush running toward them at top speed. He moved behind Kyle and shook his head. These were the largest Grondons he had ever seen or heard about. One of them had to be over thirty feet tall. They came running at them and suddenly came to a stop fifty feet from them.
    Kyle opened his eyes, “I know you have hated the intruders that have taken your domain and killed your children.” Kyle pointed toward the village, “I ask you to remove this blasphemy from your lands.” The Grondon’s roar did deafen the Elder this time as the six giants turned and rushed into the village. “Amber, now would be a good time.”
    The Elder saw a port appear behind him and he jumped through it as Kyle leapt in behind him as he yelled, “Get us out of here!” The Light Ship disappeared just before one of the Grondons swept its giant claws at it.
    The Elder struggled out from under Kyle and said, “Next time I insist on staying with you, please knock some sense into me!” Kyle nodded and started laughing. The sudden release of tension was too much and his laughter took him. A few moments later, the Elder joined him.
    “Kyle.”
    “Yes, Amber.”
    “Legune wants to know if you will bring the Elder to the colony ship and meet with the villagers.”
    “What’s happening?”
    “It’s not a mutiny, but it’s pretty close to it.”
    “I’m on the way. Tell Captain Donovan to hold the ship in open space outside our cluster.” Kyle looked at the Elder, “I should have made you go with them.” The Elder sighed and nodded.

    The Light Ship entered the giant Colony Ship’s landing bay and he went to the main deck where all the villagers were yelling at Legune. The Elder entered and yelled, “BE SILENT!!” The Villagers turned and saw him. They grew silent slowly and Kyle could see they were sitting on a powder keg. Control could be lost if this wasn’t handled properly. The kerit stared at the Elder and he turned to Kyle, “Tell them.”
    Kyle rolled his eyes. He leaned in next to the Elder and whispered, “Shouldn’t you handle this?”
    “No, I’m just as curious as they are about what you’ve made us do.” The villagers heard him and started nodding. The Elder was still one of them. The Elder walked over to the gathering and said, “Sit down and let’s see what this being has to say.”
    Kyle looked at Legune and he sat down beside her father. Oh, this was just great. Then he remembered Legune saying her mother was killed by a Master ten years ago. He shook his head and looked at them. He walked forward and sat down in front of them. He looked at them and said, “Please remove the bands from around your heads.” They all looked at the Elder as he immediately removed his. They took the thought blocker off and Kyle looked up at the ceiling and said, “Captain Donovan.”
    “Yes Sir.”
    “Please activate the DNA modifier.” The Kerit saw a silver flashing field appear around the young male sitting in front of them and Legune knew Kyle was making a terrible mistake but it was too late to stop him. The Kerit watched the form inside the golden field and after a few minutes, an alien was sitting in front of them. The screams were immediate.

Chapter Six
    L egune closed her eyes and suddenly opened them wide as she heard in her mind, “BE SILENT OR I’LL TAKE YOU BACK!!” Silence slammed down on the assembled Kerits. Kyle stared at them and blew out a slow breath. He thought, “I have just received an update from a probe above your planet. Look at the monitor on the right wall and pay attention!”
    The Kerits turned and saw hundreds of small ground craft moving above the planet’s surface toward their former
