Chapter 222
The roar of the colony still lingered in their ears as Jack led his family and companions away from the plaza. The crowd reluctantly parted to give them space, though their voices did not die down—chants of Dragon followed, layered with songs that would be sung for generations.Inside the reinforced corridor that stretched deeper into the colony, the noise softened, replaced by the steady hum of air recyclers and the faint shimmer of light fields overhead. It smelled faintly of minerals and metal—home to those who had never seen Earth’s skies.At the far end of the hall stood a familiar shape: tall, metallic, and polished like burnished steel. The DragonBot.Its eyes glowed a soft blue as it stepped forward, its voice smooth but warm.“Welcome home, Dragon. Welcome home, family.”Matilda gasped and broke from Sarah’s hand, dashing ahead. “DragonBot!” she squealed, her arms wrapping around its cold leg.The robot bent gracefully, lowering one mechanical arm to pat her head. “Matilda Pa
Chapter 221
The DragonGP rolled across the red sands, the shadow of Olympus Mons falling away behind them as they pressed onward. The tunnels were gone now—the open Martian sky stretched above, tinted rust and gold by the thin atmosphere. Every vibration of the engines echoed through the cabin like a heartbeat, faster, stronger, as though the planet itself knew they were drawing near.Matilda had her small hands pressed against the glass, eyes wide, her voice breaking into a smile. “Daddy… is that it?”Jack followed her gaze. On the horizon, glowing domes shimmered under the protective fields of light, clustered like gems against the barren wasteland. Towers rose within the largest dome, sleek and sharp, their surfaces reflecting the pale sun.“The colony,” Jack said quietly, his chest heavy but steady. “We’ve made it.”Lena gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Sarah’s eyes brimmed with tears she didn’t bother to hide, while Emily leaned forward, her sharp eyes narrowing but softening in relief.
Chapter 220
The DragonGP’s engines hummed low, carrying them deeper through the violet-lit tunnels that seemed to breathe with their own rhythm. The dagger on Jack’s hip pulsed in steady intervals, faint but undeniable, like it too recognized what lay ahead. The silence stretched—thick, tense—until Jackson finally leaned forward, his curiosity pushing past his fear.“Dad…” His voice cracked softly. “If these aliens aren’t like the silver-skins, then… how many kinds are there? How many species even exist? I mean, how did all of them even come into being?”Sarah shifted, still keeping her palm on Ryan’s chest to feel the faint rise and fall of his breathing. Her eyes lifted toward Jack too, her voice hushed. “That’s the question no one really asks out loud. Where did they come from? All of them.”Emily’s arms were crossed tightly over her chest, her brow furrowed. “And don’t give us half-answers this time, Jack. Not now. We’ve seen too much.”Lena sat rigid against the wall, her hands clasped in he
Chapter 219
The DragonGP surged deeper into the crystalline veins of the Martian tunnels, its repulsors humming low like a beast breathing in the dark. The lights on the ceiling cut through the endless glow of blue and amber, their beams stretching ahead like spears of hope. Every mile they traveled, the air shifted—the dust grew thinner, replaced with a strange sharpness, like breathing through frozen glass.The dashboard flickered. Numbers scrolled across the display, oxygen steady, shields holding.Jack kept his hands firm on the controls, his gaze locked ahead. His children were quiet, pressed close to Sarah and Emily, their earlier relief fading into restless curiosity.It was Jackson who finally broke the silence. His voice cracked the way it always did when he was fighting between awe and fear.“Dad… those things you fought back there. They weren’t like the others. Not like the silver-skinned ones that helped us at the hangar, or the scouts we met in orbit.” He swallowed hard, eyes wide as
Chapter 218
The DragonGP glided deeper into the Martian underworld, its repulsors humming in a steady rhythm that almost felt like a heartbeat. The dust storm outside was finally thinning, replaced by crystalline tunnels glowing faintly with veins of blue and amber light. It was alien, yet strangely beautiful—like the planet itself was alive, breathing around them.Inside, the cabin was thick with silence. Ryan’s shallow breaths hissed through the cracked mask, Sarah’s hands never leaving his chest as she checked the seals again and again. Lena held the medical scanner over him, biting her lip, waiting for numbers that didn’t improve.Matilda sat curled on Emily’s lap, her wide eyes fixed on her father at the controls. She hadn’t let go of his arm since he’d returned with Ryan on his shoulders. Jackson had set his camera aside, but his gaze never left Jack either.It was Jackson who finally broke the silence.“Half an hour ago…” He shook his head, voice hushed, awed. “Half an hour ago there were
Chapter 217
The red dust storm boiled around them, the cavern vibrating with the last echoes of war. Jack Parker stood tall, the dragon dagger glowing in his grip, his visor gleaming like molten steel. The swarm had come with fury, but it was meeting something greater—something ancient.One stroke. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty.Each slash cut through alien flesh and obsidian armor, the dagger humming louder, brighter, its energy spiraling into the dust-filled air like lightning chains from another world. The shrieks of the creatures rattled through the cavern, but their numbers dwindled.And then, suddenly, something shifted.The aliens stopped pressing. Their red eyes, once a wall of fire, flickered uncertainly. Their clawed feet scraped back across the stone, their bodies quivering like predators scenting their own death. Thousands remained, but none dared step forward.One by one, they stepped back.And then—as if answering some silent command—they melted into the storm itself. Their forms dissolved
