We all pointed our guns at each other. The lord of my planet looking at me with angry eyes. Rage burning in them.
I couldn’t kill her. Shooting her would invite war. They would all want to kill me for that. And I don’t need the whole planet on my back chasing the leaving hell out of me.
The infinite stones were enough to worry about. I don’t need that on my back at the moment. I risked a glance as Talon and he silently told me we need to hurry the hell up before we all die here.
“Drop your weapons,” she spoke.
She was the goddess of beauty on the planet. No wonder they made her the lord of the planet. With a slim, perfect body that would have every man running after her or looking as she passes by.
“Try anything and we will kill you. I know you think you are clever. You have escaped every time we have something on you. Or that idiot has kept you out of trouble because deep down, he thinks you are his son. But what you did today was enough to have us lock you up,” she spoke with a grin on her face.
She never liked me and never did I like her. She always wanted me gone because I was different from them. Because I was human. Whatever other humans did to her, wherever they have gone.
She was taking it all on me for that.
“I’m sorry, my lord. But it’s important that we get out of this place. You are well if you know what is good for you. Unless you want to die, then stay,” I spoke and kicked the gun from her hands. Then I fired the gun at the guard to her left and sidestepped to dodge the fireball zipping towards me.
She tried to slice me up with her laser thing, but I used one of the guards’ shield and saved myself from her another death.
Then I threw my dagger, and it went through the heart of the other guard. I just pushed her to the side, and she slammed into the wall and collapsed.
I walked to check her pause, but she was still breathing. I just sighed as I looked to check how Talon was doing. The cat was doing better, actually. He was tiny, but he was able to keep himself safe.
No wonder he was even at a higher level than me.
He turned to look at me with a still thumping heart in his hands.
“You are some freaking cat, Talon,” I smiled at him and walked into the elevator.
“If that is a complement it worked,” he spoke as he stood beside me.
Maybe he was good after all. He was just a freaking cat leaving in the world full of things bigger than him. They might have bullied him a lot. I think.
So he entered the game to prove a point to everyone, and he was doing just that. Was even at a higher level than most have.
Hats off to the cat for that.
The elevator went to the last floor, and we were not out. Pointing out AK 47 guns just for the in cases. But all the guards were dead here. Bodes lay lifeless, blood everywhere. Body parts. And all sorts of things that might be from the inside of the guards or prisoners.
We walked as first we could, but then some kind of drones come swarming towards us. Firing as fast as they could.
I rolled on the floor as Talon did his perfect jump and landed on top of one of the drones. I picked up his gun that he might have left unconsciously and tossed it at him.
He jumped as he landed on another drone after stabbing the other one with his dagger. I wonder how he was able to remain with the same one every time. I thought he left it on one of the elephant like guards by now.
Then my question was answered as he held his hand doing a perfect flip in the air and the dagger moved from the drone as it fall down the opening and it landed in his hands.
Weird freaking cat.
I found myself smiling as I fired my AK 47 at the drones. Making sure to kill as much. But just as I started to have fun destroying these things, one of them shot my leg.
I went rolling on the pull of blood and slid the stopped as I slammed into the door to the control room.
“Talon, I need the opener,” I spoke.
He just furrowed his eyebrows as he tossed it to me. I throw the shield and it killed enough to buy me some time. And Talon was taking care of the remaining.
I opened the door and entered. But not until I called him because I knew nothing about computers. He was better at these things than I could ever be.
He jumped from one drone to the other — making them shoot at each other. Clever. Then he jumped and entered the room. I just slammed the door as the drones carried on shooting at us.
“Hurry!” I shouted as I saw the windows began breaking.
“I’m trying if you can only stop breathing on my neck,” he scolded, and I just stepped back.
After a few minutes of him playing on the screens and cut off some wires and mending some, the drones stopped.
“And now the final touch,” he spoke and began pressing on his hand. “We all have secrets, human,” he spoke defensively, even when I didn’t say a word.
He pressed on the red button on the screen in the air and the drones’ eyes all tuned red. Which only meant a sign of evil. Turning back on the people that created them.
“Fly away my drones,” he laughed on top of his cat lungs.
“Weird cat. Let’s just go,” I spoke, and we left the room. The drones were no longer there. But I just heard shoots down on the other cells.
“Are you sure your girlfriend is good enough to find your ship?” He asked as we made a run to grab our things.
“She is not my girlfriend, cat. Just worry about Twelve.”
We need to leave as soon as possible. If I’m not mistaken, Xenda’s people will be here anytime soon.
I took my pouched that contained the infinite stone. And looking inside, it was there. Talon took his things and that of Twelve and I just got things for me and Maggie.Then we rushed outside. Running to the door as fast as we could. The guards were not much now. The drones did an amazing job at that, and the prisoners came in hands.Overall, our work was reduced.Finally, we reached the gate and with just one touch at the screen that hovered in the air, Talon opened the gate and we found them waiting outside on my ship.“You are safe, my beautiful Ive. They didn’t touch, did they?” I spoke as I entered my ship.They all just looked at me. Questionably. But there was nothing to be surprised about this. People name their things all the time.“Let’s just go before they come here,” I spoke and went to sit at the drivers sit.“I will not allow you to drive us. I will take the lead. You just follow. You failed to operate things inside there until I came in,” Talon spoke and sat on the othe
I drove my space ship to my destination. Telling the rest to be careful once I leave. To keep the spaceship in invisible mode. Not until I get back.But Talon has already left to do what he was supposed to do to keep both him and Twelve safe. And I was going to free the boy if I needed to survive what Xenda might send my way. Because I just started a war with him. Getting myself involved because I might have feelings for his daughter and because I might just want to save the world at large.I got up, and she took over. Then I put on my armour and helmet. Then walked to the door as she landed the ship in a dust place. It looked like a desert. No sign of water or anything apart from sand. I wonder how I always end up in such places. Stupid planets.I looked at Twelve who I noticed was looking at me. Worried. Was this how he was programmed? To be all nice to anyone he meets. Because we just met and he was acting as if we have known each other for some time now.Was that what Talon just t
I slid on the steel floor as I dodged his sword to finish me off. Well, my dagger, actually. At some point in our fight, the damn bastard took my dagger and was now using it against its master. How ironic.And after I failed to decapitate him, he was more pissed that I even tried to do that to him. I only managed to injure him on the neck, enough to make some blood splash.He then kicked me before I got up from the floor and do what I actually wanted to do. I went flipping on the floor, then stopped about a few paces away.He came running in my way before I could even shake off what happened. Then he spit some blue thing at me, I sidestepped, and it missed me. But the steel wall where the blue spit hit melted.I looked at him, and his eyes were burning with fire. Shit. I was doomed. So, I did the dumbest thing ever. I went running to him. Shooting at him just to keep him busy. But he was using his blue things to keep himself safe and also to distract me.I dodged and ducked, but that
I was trying to make sense of what Talon just told me. We left the ship there to be guarded by Twelve. So, how the hell did it vanish from where I left it? Looked at Talon as he looked at our surroundings, Twelve was his friend, so if Twelve really took the ship, then he would know.And if was a planned thing to dupe me and Maggie, then he would be here to rescue me. So, maybe Twelve didn’t take the ship.But if not him, who did it? How often do you meet people and they act all good to just stab the crap out of you behind your back? After all she was the daughter of the man that wanted to rule all the galaxies.But again, for what I witnessed and saw, she might be telling the truth about hurting her father because of her mother’s death. But there was no assurance to that. So, I couldn’t count on it.“We need to leave,” he spoke looking at me as I caught my breath. Making sure my weapons were intact. Because we might just run into anyone here.They were all alarmed now and knew we were
After they outmaneuvered all our moves, the Destroyer took us in some kind of opening. That looked to be our execution place. Because I saw a number of bones and they were some kind of table in front of us that seemed to be containing blood.All the people of the planet were here to watch. They all sat around us, screaming for us to be eliminated, that we destroyed their house or something like that. That we don’t deserve to breathe the same air as they did.The boy pulled my shirt that now contained nothing but gut from the ones I killed and the people they killed right in front of my eyes. And they even destroyed it in some parts of it.“I thought you had this figured out. How the hell do you come rescuing someone without a proper escape plan? Mother should have chosen better,” he spoke.If it wasn’t for his mother wanting him well and alive, I could have beaten him or made sure he would never open up until we reach his home.Yes, some of his words were true, we should have thought
Went flying and flipping in the air as the damn creature beat the crappy out of me. Then only stopped upon impact with the boundary of the ring.Before I could even do anything, it stretched some kind of vines and wrapped my body into it, then it swung me in circles for a couple of times before letting me go and I went sliding on the ground, only stopping when I stabbed my daggers on the ground.Swiftly stood up with straggle and spit a mouth full of sand that I might have gotten at some point. I looked up, and the king was enjoying this. He was actually talking to Talon, I’m sure telling him I was screwing up and that he will be saying bye to this fine air.Sidestepped as he sent some green slime at me and then went running its way, zig and zagged as much as I could to prevent any of its attacks to affect me in any way.Then slid to the ground and sliced off its legs. As it screamed, I stabbed my daggers in its thighs, allowing it to scream even more.I took two steps back and looked
“Can’t I just come with you guys?” The kid asked.“Moon pie, you can’t. You are way too young to come with us. You just saw what happened back there. He nearly died. And that is just half of what happens to us. Your mother needs you,” she spoke.He scoffed as he turned to look at me. After a while, I went to take a shower and changed my clothes. I now dressed in blue jeans and a white t-shirt. Then matched it up with black boots.“Trevor, please. I will do as I’m told and I will respect you. Even if it means I will be cooking for you. Just take me with you guys. I want to help with whatever you are doing together,” he spoke, looking at Talon.“He will kill you if he hears you saying it. Even looking at him in that way, he will be upset. But as she told you, that was a glimpse of how dangerous it’s to hang out with us. We can’t take you. I’m going to take you home, but after we find our friend,” I told him. “Maggie, I think I lost something,” I thought hooved on top of my head. “Come,”
I had to give it to Talon; I mean, to be able to pass through a place like this with a fault spaceship was something else. But also because me and Maggie were helping with shouting at the people that wanted us dead. The king we just escaped from was now following us behind because he wanted to take us to Maggie’s father.In my camera I managed to see the king smiling at me, it was like he was able to see me. But I didn’t see the creature I was fighting back there, he might have left that goddamned thing. Which was an added advantage.“Trevor, are you sure about this?” Maggie asked as I walked on the roof of the ship. “You know we can just be here and try something else, right? We can’t fight them all, we just need to be smart about it,” she suggested.I pointed my gun at the ship with the king, “this is me been smart about it,” I told her and fired.Then went running as their ship got closer, then jumped on top before they got their ship to a stable state.Jumped from side to side to
