Finding Shiro Chapter 1

“I never thought I’d see the day I’d be working against the Garrison.” Sven sighed looking through the documents one of his men had snuck out and off Earth.

“It’s not the entire Garrison.”

“Right, it looks like it almost split into two when Zarcon reappeared,” Romelle said as she read some of them herself. “Planets that were basically too small to defend themselves have no way to stand up to that evil man.”

“What is this?” The Swedish man leaned forward on the table, pushing a paper forward with his hand. “What is CTVF-01? It’s all in this handful of documents.”

Romelle’s eyes widened, “Mine too. Whatever it is, it looks like a giant operation. Its spread over many planets.”

“The base of it all seems to be on this planet here. All of the shipments of materials are being dropped off here and here only.”

“We heard no one speak of CTVF-01 while we were there, sir.” The young soldier stood talk saluting.

“However, there was a shipment headed somewhere that day with precious cargo. Whatever the cargo was it was alive. I heard them talk of keeping it alive.” The other soldier explained.

Sven looked to Romelle then back to the young men. “At ease, you both did well. You may leave.” He waited until they were out of ear shot then sat back down arms crossed in thought.

Romelle watched him smiling softly, “I know that look, what are you planning?”

“Whatever Zarcon has going on there, you can bet it’s not good and will harm a good many innocent people.” He glanced over at the Princess then gave a shy smile, “I always love to ruin Zarcon’s plans, shall we go pay the base a visit?”

“By ourselves? Should we call the force?”

Sven shook his head, “Not this time. Five big lions either by themselves or formed into a giant robot will be way too easy to spot. You and I can sneak onto that planet with ease and get some intel as to what is going on.”

“Sven, I don’t like this. At least let them know what is going on.” She pleaded, “We don’t need to get stuck out there by ourselves. I won’t lose you again!”

Sven stood and turned towards her, “You didn’t lose me before and you won’t now. But if you insist I will go call them.”

She sighed relieved nodding, “Please! I’ll go get our ship ready.”

Romelle stepped out first wearing her camouflage uniform, binoculars hanging around her neck and a radio on her belt. “It’s safe.”

Behind her Sven followed her dressed the same way. “According to the map the base is about half a mile in that direction.”

The area was heavily wooded and surrounded by forests every direction one looked. But it wasn’t even heavily guarded. There were none of Zarcon’s robot guards around at all. “Be on your guard,” He whispered tugging her hand gently as they stepped over the thick brush. “I don’t like how quiet it is.”

After half an hour or so they walked up onto the base. It looked empty. Sven darted out from one of the trees a small box in his hands. He knelt down by the door and hooked the box up to it pressing a few buttons. A few seconds later the doors open. He silently waved Romelle to him and she darted over.

They waited for the door to completely open and give the security alarms if any a few seconds to go off. When nothing happened they both walked in turning flash lights on. They were faced with two different directions, a left and a right.

Sven turned and kissed Romelle gently on the cheek, “I think we need to split up.”
