The Theraxian Vanguard: Worlds Apart

(Sometime after Vitality and DE:LTA tried to deal with the prison break)

Vitality flew to the same place they met everyday and waited for Anlea to arrive.

"Who are they?" he asked, as she arrived.

"What?" She replied

"WHO are they?" Vitality questioned again. "Their eyes, their glow, their abilities...you know who they are. Four of them just caused a massive prison break. Who are they?"

Caught off-guard by the question, Anlea hesistated a moment before answering. "It's hard to explain."

"I'm a smart guy...I think I can understand." Vitality quickly retorted.

Anlea, paused and looked into Vitality's eyes.

"I'm not from this world. We are Theraxians from the planet Therax-Prime. We came here for a mission."

"What mission?" asked Vitality

She stayed silent.

"Anlea...what mission?" Vitality quickly snapped.

"Our abilities, we naturally drain the "life-force" of the planet." She replied.

With a confused look, Vitality asked back "What do you mean, drain?"

Looking down, Anlea answered. "This is why we were sent here. To make sure this world can sustain us."

Rubbing his head in frustration, Vitality responded. "I don't understand, if you just need a planet to sustain your abilities, why are they attacking us, causing the prison break...what aren't you telling me?"

Anlea continued. "Our abilities drain the "life-force" of the planet. Overtime, it renders the planet uninhabitibal. Our home world once consisted of many planets, but they slowly died out. All that remains is Therax-Prime. Our population started to decrease overtime, and that's when they started the vanguard operation. It started before I was born. They send us out to remote planets in hopes of us finding one that can sustain us."

Pausing for a moment to take everything he was just told in, Vitality asked. "Why break out the prisoners? Why attack us without talking first?"

With a look of hurt and guilt, Anlea answered. "They want to cause chaos. If a world is inhabited by beings who could pose a threat, the vanguard is to lower that threat, if not remove it completely."

They both went silent for moments

Anlea broke the silence. "I've tried to stop them, to tell them that this world is not worth it...to save it."

Vitality, angered from the information, quickly responded "You should have told me. I could of helped you. I could have helped your people."

"Do you remember how you told me you couldn't leave this planet. You had to protect your people. Would you not do the same if it was your people who needed it. You and I, we're the same." Anlea stated.

Looking into Anlea's eyes with hurt and betrayal, Vitality answered "This is not the same, Anlea. You're helping your people kill other worlds. I'm protecting my planet from people like you."

Silence fell over the both of them again, before Vitality continued. "If you have felt anything for me, you will tell me where they are."

Anlea looked at Vitality directly in the eyes, with guilt, hurt, and fear. "I will tell you, but please, don't go there alone."

Vitality said nothing.

Anlea pleaded with him. "David please, they will kill you."

"They can try." he responded
