Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Seven.

The second day of the investigation I got a call from none other than Lilia’s brother, Hank. The timing was great, and by that I mean it didn’t happen when I was training with Lisa. I don’t know how I would explain to my brother in law what I was doing behind his sister’s back.

He had a few things to report. The first was that the planetary defense system that I had ordered has been installed, the second was something I was anticipating for a while now, though it was surprising to hear nonetheless.

Apparently after doing a more thorough scan of Gorgola they discovered something strange. Two strong energy signatures, one on an island near the north pole and another near the forest where Lilia and I used to live, specifically the hole where the lab was located.

In the case of the hole it seems that there is a Glassume vein that goes through that area, and a big one at that, however there is a problem with it. It was hyper charged with electri

    Just as she said I noticed shadowy figures peeking from behind the rocks on the cliffs and small caves left and right. With their presence exposed they stopped bothering to hide and showed themselves in an attempt to intimidate us by their sheer number.They kinda look like your stereotypical desert dwellers.[Well this is a desert and they’re its dwellers.]“Seven…” Lilia looked my way showing a bit of concern.I doubt they’re anything Lilia can’t handle. We fought anthropomorphic tigers just recently, well, Lilia did, not to mention our encounter with Verta. I honestly can’t see your average gang being anything more than an annoyance so if Lilia is worried then the only reason she has would be me.“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” I said with a small smile. Lilia nodded at me then looked ahead. A few meters down the road I noticed a cloud of dust form as some vehicles, or what I thought was a vehicle, made it’s way toward us. After stopping we learned that it was a Gitan, an armadillo like

    “Good.” The high ground allowed me to get a better look and I could already see the road to eliminating the unlucky bandits who’ve yet to process the fact that their leader is dead.Pressing on my right foot I launched myself toward the next target reaching him in a single step before impaling him as well. The way I’m able to close long distances without having to run felt good. It was like one of those high speed movement techniques you see in anime. The bandits began to panic as they watched their comrades fall one by one. From their point of view it must’ve looked like I’m disappearing just to appear in front of them leaving little room for retaliation. [Slow down.] The voice in my head said as I stopped to catch my breath. [The red juice is running out.]C’mon! The fun is just getting started![You’re already failing to control your emotions. And your movements are sloppy. There is no point in continuing with this.]Booo…As always, Iris’s judgment was right on the spot leaving

    Gram city might be the only place on Rooster where people can have a normal life. What you’re met with after your first step behind the outer wall is a rocky desert all the way to the horizon. A barren land without a single blade of grass to be seen.I already knew this side of the planet barely sees the sun but to think it would be this cold and dry compared to the city. That made me wonder if they have some kind of overpowered air conditioner in there.We walked for about an hour and a half following the track shown on Giran's book facing no trouble ever since the first ambush. Apparently other criminals were lurking around and saw what I did with the leftover pirates. Added to that the stories about the blond butcher and no idiots had the thought of showing themselves letting us traverse the canyon without worry. Just in case I had ghost girl do the only thing she is good at and fly to a higher altitude to look for potential sniper spots. Apparently this was within her skill set a

    Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, the Grand Canyon outside Gram city, Seven."How about you hire me?" Standing in front of us with the space craft behind him was a male Herara covered in white fur. I’m unable to see his back from where I’m standing but the stripes on his arms and face are light blue, same as the other anthropomorphic tigers we met the other day. He was about five feet tall which made him look smaller compared to his now dead companions. His arms looked thicker as well and his hands were closer to paws than actual hands with claws peeking out.He wore a pair of grayish green pants with oversized pockets and boots so large they could fit bigfoot. On his belt a number poaches were strapped and at his side hanged a tool set much like what you would see on a mechanic.Cold may not be a problem with all the fur that’s covering him, still I can’t believe he’s fine going out topless. The most notable thing about him are the huge goggles on top of his head, seeing them I al

I’ve lost the will to live. I can no longer see a reason to keep going.“I want to die…”“Stop exaggerating it. You acted like a creep so it’s only natural that things went that way.”“But… ugh…”[We’ve only known each other for a few days and I’m already exhausted from dealing with you.] Her voice moved into my head as she continued berating me. [You get depressed far too easily. How about you try being optimistic for once?]“I don’t think I can… I wanna die…”~◇~ "I will vow for him."I think we all felt some surprise hearing Lilia say that. Logan Thundercloud, the fur covered male Herara, almost jumped in his place as he looked at Lilia in disbelief. He then quickly bowed his head thanking her again and again."THANK YOU!

    Sector twenty one, planet Rooster, Gram city.Seven was bothered by Lilia’s strange behavior so he tried to get done with his shower as fast as possible. When he came out however he found that his wife had already fallen asleep after eating only one slice of pizza. With no choice other than to leave his questions for tomorrow he took her to the bed then ate his share of the pie before joining her.After blacking out for a while Seven’s mind booted up on its own. Noticing nothing out of the ordinary he was about to go back to the dream world, however a blue glow in the corner of his eye caught his attention. The room was dark, the lights still off same as he left them before falling asleep. He carefully touched the area to his right but found nothing. Lilia seems to have left the bed a while ago as her side has lost its warmth. Getting up he rubbed his eyes then headed toward the blue light.“Can’t sleep?” Seven asked.“Eh? S-sorry did I wake you up…” Lilia was on the couch absentmi

    Seven leaned forward, squinting his eyes at the window. “N-no…” Lilia cried weakly, her breath refusing to settle. “Don’t look…”“Lilia…”It showed a picture of two little girls. One had a clean well kept short blue hair. Her stature was so small, her limbs so thin. Her pale skin told of her relationship with the sun. The blue haired little Zesionien looked so frail it wouldn’t be unbelievable for her to fall from a single breath, however despite everything her thin smile and the light in her eyes showed the hope and determination. Seven recognized the girl. She was Lilia’s late friend and the ghost sharing his body. Though she had small dark brown horns on her head instead of the cat ears he’d grown familiar with, Seven recognized Iris almost immediately. But the girl beside her, he hesitated to ask.“Lilia… who are these two?” He asked, looking behind him.Lilia had recovered from his attack and was now covering her face with both hands. She was too embarrassed to look him in the

    “By the way.” Relieved that everything was fine with his wife and wanting to move on from the sensitive topic, Seven decided to ask a question he had been saving for a while. “Who is the other girl?” Lilia’s attention was brought back to the photo her book displayed. In a second she was reminded of the embarrassment she tried to avoid from the start and her face was once again painted in a red color.In the photo was another young Zesioniens female beside Iris. She stood proudly with her legs split apart, her hands on her waist and her head held high. A cheerful broad smile beamed on her face. Her sky blue eyes sparkled with the unstoppable energy of a healthy child. Two dark brown horns extended from the sides of her head and long golden hair flowed behind her, however unlike Iris’s blue hair it was quite messy and uncombed. The same could be said for her clothes. Unlike the cute little dress Iris wore, the golden haired child had shorts and a simple t-shirt, both covered in dirt a

    I went to take a shower and after I got out I ran into Logan. He was surprised to see me, thinking I wouldn't be up for another few hours.He was holding Blue in his arms. Apparently she was playing with the other kids and fell asleep at some point so he came to put her in her bed. [This kid…]A third candidate, huh…Iris doesn’t seem to like Blue a lot. From the photos I saw and how Lilia described her I can see the similarities, and now that she has cat ears and tail instead of the Zesionien horns, Blue certainly looks like a miniature version of her.Blue reminded Iris of her childhood, and not in the pleasant nostalgic way. What made it worse was something Hir said after my speech.Blue told Lilia that she saw a ghost following me around. That shocked the both of us, but Iris felt frustrated that she never noticed she was being watched, and by a kid nonetheless. Blue was rather talented at hiding her presence, she even managed to steal my book right before our eyes and escaped wh

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola’s, Tiga One, Seven.My eyes slowly fell on the somewhat familiar ceiling. The room was shrouded in a weak light and a weird smell wafted in the air."Mm…"The feint breathing sound reaching my ears brought to my attention the weak pain I felt on my chest. Lifting my head to investigate its cause I saw a ball of messy hair with what looked like horns coming out of both sides. One of them was pressed against me, that was the source of the pain."How can she even breathe like this?"Lilia was fast asleep. Seeing her like this makes me wonder if my chest was that good of a pillow. I moved aside the strands that covered her face, carefully stroking her hair. As I ran my fingers into it enjoying how silky it felt I breathed in relief and couldn't help but smile. Our naked bodies exchanged heat underneath the thin blanket. Lilia was so soft and warm. When she is sleeping beside me like this I sometimes forget about the fearsome warrior she was. This is my beautifu

    Seven looked at his right hand, soaked wet after it made Lilia climax. The female Zesionien was gasping for air. She looked at him with moist eyes, her breasts moving a little with each breath she takes. Strength had left her body long ago and all she could do was accept his kiss before he gave her a moment to rest."We are just getting started yet you are already like this?" Seven said with a teasing smile. He took the blanket that was pushed aside and used it to wipe his hand."It's because… haa~… it's because you did that… ha~h...""Well, Lilia is so cute I simply couldn't resist." He went down and kissed her once more. "I want to do more… ah! I almost forgot…" He extended his hand to the wall on his left and tapped it twice. A small rectangular panel, green in color, appeared at that spot. It listed a few things; the temperature, the light and the door lock. However what he was looking for was the option to turn off communications so no one could bother them from that point on.

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, Tiga One.In her room, Lilia sat on the bedside looking somewhat nervous. She tried to calm herself taking one deep breath after the other, but her heartbeat refused to settle, and her body felt incredibly hot.Well, the heat shouldn't be a strange things considering she had finished showering a couple of minutes ago, but instead of cooling down her temperature just continued rising.I-I have to calm down, I can't let this go on!Just when the banquet was nearing its end Seven decided to take his leave. Thinking it was time to get some rest she was about to do the same, but when she rose to her feet Seven wrapped his arms around her and lifted her in a princess style carry. Those who saw it were numbered, with everyone in that place either snoring or too drunk, but she still felt the embarrassment of a crowd watching her being taken away knowing what was about to happen to her.Seven was perfectly awake. Not that sleeping for days enables him to st

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. The plan went through smoothly. There were a lot of details to go through, but for now Seven declared that it was time to celebrate. Such huge gatherings always called for a banquet. Food and drinks, music and dancing, then some crying and tears.It was a long journey that had finally come to an end. The whole clan went through a lot, and now that they’ve finally reached their end goal they could step back and get some well deserved rest.The Herara partied for hours on end, stuffing themselves before laying down and surrendering to slumber. The conference room was turned into a great hall. It was the center of the party, but now that the music had stopped and the laughter ceased, only a few heavy drunkards were still up while the rest dropped in their place snoring."Been a while since I've last seen this." From atop the stage Hir watched the satisfied expressions of his clan members, holding his cup with a drowsy lo

    When they arrived back to the ship Hir summoned all the captains and the high ranked individuals to make the announcement, but he was surprised to find that the conference room was already full.Their patience had ran out. First they hear that the clan head was defeated, then that their goal was within reach. Three days passed and all they got were those two vague sets of information, and while still in the dark they were led to a place they never been to before.The higher ranked clan members were the ones who rallied the crowd to demand an answer from the head. The respect and fear they felt toward him were gone now that they know he lost to someone in a duel, and the longer they had to wait the more destabilized their loyalty became.Hir got on stage and gave a few words to introduce their new leader and as expected, he got quite the backlash. It's the first time they hear about such thing so reacting this way is perfectly normal. There were those who watched the duel between Seve

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. After it was decided that the Verta clan would be taken in by Seven they immediately set course for Gorgola.They had to call the ZSFCO and ask commander Blitz to order the retreat of the Zesionien forces that came in to intercept them. Though the old man demanded they give him an explanation later on it seemed he was convinced that things would turn out okay.The strain of the fight against Hir ended up affecting Seven more than expected causing him to stay in bed for the entire sixty five hour trip, and with a lot of explanation yet to be done a heavy atmosphere spread through the whole clan.Seven ordered Hir to not tell anyone anything, especially when it came to Iris. As expected, with such a giant battle happening right above their heads the clan members had quite a few questions to ask. Most of them watched their leader lose to a prisoner so they were worried, but their heads were cooled down temporarily when Hi

    Sector twenty one, Gorgola's orbit, the Verta clan’s mothership. "Hmm…" Stroking his nonexistent beard, Seven thought to himself. Public speech huh, I don't think I have considered this seriously…"You can spit energy blasts from your mouth yet you can't say a few words in front of people?" Iris being Iris, she started making fun of him the moment he got cold feet.People I won't be killing, that's an important part. Besides, I don't think they have a very positive image of me…In the conference room, which is really just a big empty hall that could fit a lot of people, Seven stood in front of a large crowd.Most of them were the fur covered tiger faced male Herara, looking like what space pirates should look with scary eyes and scars here and there, but with not a single smoker in sight they felt more like a censored version for a kids show.Those were the captains of each ship in the clan's fleet.

    Sector twenty one, the Verta clan’s mothership. "I have finally found you, my lord." Hir said, his head lowered respectfully. "…. Did I fray your brains or something?" Seven replied, one of his brows rising up. "No, I'm in perfect condition both mentally and physically, my lord.""... I don't remember you hitting him on the head. Did you do it while I was knocked out?" Iris said, her head tilted slightly. I… don't know…The fight was done. Rather, if it went any further the ship wouldn't be able to hold. When Hir went down on his knees Seven expected him to admit his defeat, but instead he said something outrageous.‘I have finally found you’… Is he talking about… Seven thought."Nah… there is no way…" Iris added with a weak smile.Seven and Iris already understood what lord he was referring to, and they knew he wasn't exactly wrong. Lilia and Logan were in the dark on this one so they silently waited to see how Seven would react."Anyways, this means you surrender right?" Seven
