“Oh? What do we have here?” A man in a suit said, looking at two handcuffed children.
“Boss, they were once again trying to sneak in.” The man said who had the children in hand.
One of the children had Black hair, the other had White hair. The man in the suit walked up to the kid with black hair, who looked like he was not scared.
“Oi… Do you know that kid?” The man asked.
The kid grinned.
“I don’t know, do I?” The kid said, laughing.
“Woah, don’t get mad at me like that, kid...” The man said.
“...I can already see you two are brothers.” The man mumbled, smiling.
The kid’s eyes widened up.
“H- How did you know that?” The kid with black hair asked.
“I don’t know, how did I?” The man replied, smiling.
The kid’s eyes lightened up.
“O- Oi, Ossan!* Don’t mock me!” The kid with black hair shouted.
(Ossan = Someone in his 30’s or 40’s)
“Sorry, sorry...” The man said, laughing it off.
“You two look really interesting... ” The man mumbled, looking down.
“What are your names?” The man asked.
“N- Names?” The kid with black hair asked.
“We don’t have any...” The kid with white hair mumbled.
“You don’t?” The man said, as he started to laugh.
“Oi, nothing funny about it!” The kid with black hair shouted.
“Yeah… You’re right...” The man said.
“...Yin.” The man said, looking up.
“Y- Yin?” The kid with black hair asked.
“Yes, that will be your name...” The man said.
“... And you, with the white hair, will be Yang.” The man explained, smiling.
The kid named Yang’s eyes lightened up.
“And how about I forgive you two for sneaking inside...” The man said.
“... Instead I am proud you made it this far, so as a gift you guys...”
“... Will get to work for me.” The man said, smiling.

Yang was in complete shock, but Yin was reacting exact the opposite.
“Sure thing, Ossan...” Yin said.
“... But if you do something to Yang, I will kill you.” Yin followed up, grinning.
Yang’s eyes lightened up. The man started to laugh.
“Got it...” The man said, walking up to Yang.
The man reached out his hand and uncuffed both of them. He then looked at Yang.
“My name isn’t really interesting… So you can call me Yanagi.” The man said.
Yin started to laugh.
“Ehh? Combining our names to get ur own?!” Yin said, as he kept laughing.
“Of course not, idiot, that’s how all my 270,000 members call me.” Yanagi said, grinning.
“2- 270,000 members?!” Yang said, as his eyes widened up.
“Yeah… 270,000.” Yanagi replied.
“H- How is that even possible?” Yang asked.
“That’s what you call being a Black Market Leader.” Yanagi said, smiling.
You know? At first I was happy…
Our past was the worst…
We never knew our family, everyone rejected us, we lived on trash…
We ‘did’ live in a Orphanage for a while, but we left it…
We endured Yanagi’s trainings, and as always Yin surpassed me in all those years…
Yanagi looked at the kids, as he was sweating. Yin grinned.
“Getting old? Ossan?” Yin said.
“Old? Are you mocking me?” Yanagi asked, grinning.
“Yes, I am, so come get!” Yin shouted, as he charged him.
Yanagi grinned, dodging Yin’s attack.
Yanagi spin kicked and hit Yin straight in his face, pushing him away.
“Y- Yin!- ”
Before Yang could finish his sentence Yanagi punched him in his chest.
Yang’s eyes widened up, but he punched Yanagi away.
Yanagi grinned.
“How unexpected… You didn’t fall unconscious from that.” Yanagi said.
“That’s… Right...” Yang mumbled.
Yang suddenly fell on the ground, losing consciousness…
“Sir… They both fell down in one shot...” The guard said.
“Of course they would, they are young and I hit them in their vital spots.” Yanagi replied.

Yanagi turned to the guard.
“But it’s fine… Cuz it feels like-”
Yanagi stopped his sentence as he turned and caught the fist of Yin.
“- Like someone was faking their consciousness.” Yanagi said, grinning.
“Of course you would’ve found out...” Yin said, grinning.
Yin suddenly pulled out a dagger, but Yanagi grabbed his handgun and aimed it in front of him.
Yin’s eyes widened up.
“D- Damn it...” Yin mumbled.
Yanagi let go of him and holstered his weapon.
“Good… But not good enough.” Yanagi said.
“We’ll start again tomorrow...” Yanagi followed up, walking out the room.
Yin let out a sigh, as he grabbed a bucket of water and threw it all over Yang. Yang’s eyes widened up as he woke up and sat down.
“W-... What happened?” Yang asked.
Yin was silent.
“He won the round...” Yin replied.
Yang stood up. He could feel this murderous aura surrounding Yin.
“Why… Why are we still training, anyway?” Yin asked.
Yang looked at him, walking up to his office door.
“I’ll show him… That I can defeat him-”
Just as Yang opened the door, Yanagi stood in front of him. He had a big grin on his face, as he ducked down.
“Yo, ready for round two?” Yanagi said, smiling.
“Yes… Starting now!-” Yin shouted, as he spin kicked the man.
Yin then took multiple steps back.
Yanagi stood up, wiping the dust off his face.
“That… Is the only time you will hit me.” Yanagi said, grinning.
Yang was still quiet…
Yin was obviously stronger than him…
Yang was still sitting on the ground, and his eyes noticed something, someone. It was a girl, peeking through the other door.
His eyes lightened up, as he walked to the door and opened it. The girl suddenly grabbed him in, closed the door and pulled out a knife.
Yang’s eyes widened up. The girl probably had snuck in, just like him and Yin.
“Calm down… I am not here to hurt you.” Yang said, smiling.
Yang looked at the rusty knife she was holding, and noticed that she was shaking really bad. Yang looked back at the girl, slowly standing up.
Yang then reached out his hand, smiling.
“You won’t kill a human with that knife.” Yang said, smiling.
Her eyes lightened up, as she slowly reached out to his hand.
The door suddenly bursted open-
Yang quickly turned, and saw Yanagi standing there.
“Oi, what are you- ?!” His eyes widened up, as he saw the girl standing there.
The girl turned the knife to the Yanagi, still shaking.
“Who do you think y-”
“Wait!” Yang interrupted Yanagi.
Yang slowly grabbed the girls hand.
“It’s fine… He is friendly.” Yang said.
The girl looked at Yang, and then gave the knife to him.
Yin walked inside too, and he saw the girl.
“An intruder?” Yin asked.
“No… She’s friendly.” Yang replied.
Yin grinned.
“Sorry, Yang, but I don’t trust her-”
Yin pulled out a handgun, Yang’s eyes widened up.
Yang suddenly charged Yin, grabbing his arm and immobilizing him.
“What, H- How did you?” Yin mumbled.
“Let go of the gun...” Yang said, looking him in the eye.
“Yang, I am sorry, but I can’t have another burden in here...” Yanagi explained.
“No… I will take care of her then.” Yang said.
The girl’s eyes lightened up.
“Are you sure you can do that?” Yanagi asked.
Yang let go of Yin.
“Yes… I can.” Yang replied.
“Anything she does is my responsibility from now on.” Yang said, walking up to the girl.
“What your name?” Yang asked.
“I… I don’t know...” The girl replied.
“Oh… Well... how about...” Yang said, smiling.
“...Akari?”

Saga of the Space Marines
HARVEST! BUILD! DESTROY! Total war until annihilation. This is the story of the end of the human race. If it sounds like fun it’s because it is. The Saga relates the events and personal histories of the men of the 3rd Marine Space Expeditionary Force and their bitter MAXWAR (mutually assured eXtinction war) against the alien Krag Subjugation. Told from the view point of the warfighters on the front lines, the blue collar workers who build and maintain the infrastructure that supports them, and the scientists and engineers who develop the technologies that power their victories on the battlefield. This mission, The Maggot Colony, relates the first part of the adventure, where their capital ship, The Good Shepherd, is critically damaged, and a small force is sent to establish an outpost on the surface of a nearby planet to secure much needed emergency supplies and fuel. The situation is desperate, the fighting is brutal and the technical challenges both in space and on the planet surface seem insurmountable. Fans who enjoy the intellectual challenges and intricate storylines from real-time-strategy games such as Starcraft II or the pure destructive awesomeness of first person shooters such as Doom, Halo and Gears of War are encouraged to check out the Space Marines. It’s not for everyone, but it might be just what you are looking for. Best of luck in choosing your next read, and if you don’t pick the Saga of the Space Marines today please consider us next time because reading great stories is time well spent.
