Chapter 2

*WHOOSH!!*

Flying in the sky is a woman in a metal suit. She has been flying for a couple of hours now almost at her destination but she could have gotten here faster if not her fear of extreme speeds does some harm to her child in the futurist airtight baby carrier on her chest. Looking down she used her camera-like vision to see a sign that says "Welcome To Virginia".

" We are almost home Miranda," said her mom but surprisingly Miranda responded to her mother's words by moving around a bit. Despite not eating for hours Miranda hasn't cried once and she hasn't used the bathroom either. This worried Miranda's mother as she expected to stop feed or change the diaper she has on. Miranda's mom figured she adopted the trait of not being able to use the bathroom cause her body can absorb all food that a human can't digest and just leaves as waste.

10 minutes later they are in the middle of Virginia flying lower to the ground. In a sea of trees but stopped when an open field came up with a lone house and barn came upon view. In front of the house is a man wearing a simple T-shirt, cargo pants, and boots.

The thrusters of the jetpack died down as Miranda's mom descended on the front yard of the house and landed. The helmet over her head melted off her bringing out her hair that goes down to her waist. The chest baby carrier opened up releasing Miranda into her mother's arms. The man walked up to the mother and daughter with a somewhat surprised look on his face.

"So this is the precious thing you said you had to get... You never told me you're a mom..." said the man.

"You never asked" said Miranda's mom playing her daughter's hand.

"You don't look a day over 20 that's why" said the man.

"Flattery will get you nowhere" said Miranda's mom.

"You know find you having a one year old child kind of weird since I've been near you for the past 15 years... " said the man.

"She's my child that's all you need to know Jacob " said Miranda's mom.

" A'maira if you think from a logical perspective there is no way you can have a child without me noticing but knowing you and all the secrets you have it's definitely a possibility" said Jacob.

A'maira chuckled while still playing with Miranda. Jakob knew that he is right but shouldn't pry too much in this situation.

"Should we head inside?" asked Jakob.

"Let's..." respond A'maira.

The two plus Miranda in her mother's arms went inside the house. Miranda took Miranda to a room that had a sign that said "Keep Out" on it. Opening the door a room that is clearly meant for Miranda can be seen. Jacob who is nearby saw the room and a look of astonishment is on his face.

"How did you get all that stuff in that room without me noticing..." said Jacob.

"You shouldn't ask a maiden her secrets" responded A'maira.

Jacob scoffed at her response which caused A'maira eyebrow to raise.

"You?.. A maiden?.. I rather get ED than believe that" said Jacob with a serious tone.

Metallic liquid came out of A'maira's arm and formed a mace with some really sharp spikes. The most gentle smile that she could be seen on her face appeared.

"That can be arranged..." A'maira said with a gentle smile.

Jacob instinctively covered his crotch with his hands with a nervous look on his face.

"W-We can talk about this..." said Jacob nervously.

"I've put up with your antics long enough" responded A'maira.

Rushing out the door so fast that a normal human being keep up with Jacob ran away out of fear of getting his manhood turned into mush meat. Not far behind him is A'maira with a scary mace in hand with a gentle smile on her face. Despite how it looks A'maira and Jacob are not in a romantic relationship. It's more like they are brother and sister plus housemates.

(10 years later)

*WOOSH!*

A small figure could be seen flying in the air. The figure did loops and many other Ariel tricks. This small figure is a 10 year old Miranda flying around. Miranda suddenly shot straight up in the air and went through clouds to reveal a beautiful scenery that Miranda, no matter how many times she has done this never gets used to being above the clouds.

{Miranda get down here. How many times do I have to tell you that you can't fly around when I'm not with you}

Her mother's voice suddenly got transmitted in her head. Miranda laughed which she knew brought up an eyebrow from her mother.

{What's funny?}

"Nothing Mom!" shouted Miranda cheerfully cause she knew her mother isn't gonna punish her even if she does it again.

Miranda stopped hovering in the air and began to free fall back to the ground below her. Her four jet like wings on her back folded in allowing her to fall smoothly. Just as she was 300 feet from the ground the rocket on her back flared back to life at maximum output slowing down her fall. Landing in front of the house she grew up in Miranda proceeded to walk to the front door. The futurist jet pack, jet wings, mechanical suit, and helmet all started to liquefy and recede into Miranda's body. After all the metallic fully disappeared it revealed a cute little girl with long jet black hair but the image is ruined by her sharp angler eyes that make her seem to glare.

What most people don't realize is that isn't glaring... That's her normal face. Due to this facial feature, her mother tells her don't smile. A'maira isn't being mean or trying to hurt her daughter's feelings it's just that she looks very scary when she smiles. She even scared off a burly built man one time as a toddler. It also caused problems when she started school due to her making multiple children cry just by accidentally staring at them.

A'maira almost lost hope for her daughter having a social life till she came back home with two kids. A boy named Eddie Crain and Natalie Divirie. Both are 3 years older than Miranda and childhood lovers. They met at the elementary school that Miranda attended till she had to leave. Many of the adults at the school kept complaining that she's glaring at them even after someone told them that is her natural facial expression that most of them called bullshit on. Rumors started that she's bullying kids which led to A'maira getting fed up with the school after constantly explaining her daughter's looks just decided to home school her till high school.

"Hey Miranda I heard your getting homeschooled now" said Eddie.

"Yeah me and mom got sick of all the adults there" responded Miranda

"Wasn't you the top student at that school? You even skipped a year correct?" asked Eddie.

"Yep" Miranda simply responded.

"Let's head inside I think your mom baked some cookies" said Eddie thinking with his stomach.

"Glutton.."

(Unknown location)

In a abandoned house in the middle of nowhere there two people inside but if you look at these two you can clearly tell they are not human.

"Kraikt how long till we can leave this backwater undeveloped planet?" said the purple alien that looked human but has 4 eyes.

"When we find that damn techno" responded Kraikt that looked like a certain bird race from a certain game that had 3 different colored endings.

These two aliens are Kraikt and Vespich. They hail from no specific empire but are contracted bounty hunters that search for undeveloped civilizations. They find, report, and try to weaken said undeveloped civilizations. Usually races that have very long life spans take the job.

Right now Kraikt is getting frustrated due to this planet being very dangerous. Plus he managed to get a special device that tracks down Technos. Their core to be exact that gives off a unique energy signature.

"We would of found the damn techno faster if you didn't drop this damn thing in the sea when we first got here 100 cycles ago for this planet!!!" yelled Kraikt.

"Isn't my fault the damn thing sounded like a bomb about to go off! How I was opposed to know it's use when you suddenly jumped up with a shocked expression!!!" yelled vespich.

Getting really annoyed at his companion Kraikt threw the tracking device at him full force. Vespich tilted his head to the side barely dodging the tracking device.

"Ha you miss-" Vespich gets cut off by a very loud beeping noise.

*Beeep* *Beeep* *Beeep* *Beeep*

The two bounty hunters looked at each other then back to now fully functional tracking device that locks on to what Kraikt calls Technos.

"Well shit... Let's go catch us a Techno and live like kings" said Kraikt.
