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 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 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
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
We finally to put our plan into motion after Maggie nearly had a nervous breakdown after realizing her people were only about three planets away.Talon was ready to do his computer things. And Twelve was also ready to go and get my ship wherever they put it. But that was for him to figure out. I was good with my part of the plan.Make sure Talon reaches the control room and then we can bust our asses out of this godforsaken place. Not to forget Maggie will keep the guards distracted by whatever she will come up with.All I was hoping for was for the plan to work. Or will die. Well, I needed to only make sure I survive what was coming our way. Look after me.But I also didn’t want them to die. I still have doubts about trusting them into helping me find the infinite stones. Not my idea, but it seemed pretty fear. Hence, I needed them all live because they all have their special skills.Mostly Talon. He is a cat and yet he can do wonders. What he did with the forks was impressive enough
We sat there all day. We even refused to go outside for some fresh air. But we had a visitor. But only to tell us that we will be locked until we are punished for causing the damage we did. And that they will get our money.We didn’t argue. We just allowed the man to tell us whatever he was sent to tell us. But they also seemed to not know that the father of the woman they were talking about was the most feared lord all over the planets.We allowed that to slide as well. We have other things we need to attend to. But I was relieved because he mentioned nothing about the infinite stone of mischief. Which means they touched nothing that belongs to us.The food they brought us just sat there ever since they brought it. We just carried on formulating a plan to leave the place because Maggie was able to sense her people. They were near, and we needed to hurry the hell up.But Talon was already working on something with the forks he got from our food. I wonder why they even thought it best
We sat there for a while, all in silence. Why would she allow her father to rule all the galax? I know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but this sounds wrong.I’m the least people to talk about wrong doing because I steal from people to make a leaving. That is my job. But going as far as having the all galaxy to yourself sounds just wrong. The circle of life should just go the way it’s supposed to go.We all leave in our respective planets and carry on just like that.I looked at her and found her looking at me as well. But she looked apologetic, or some expression that looked sad.Then, before I even asked, she spoke, “I know what this looks like, Trevor. I don’t like you and I don’t need to answer to you. But if we are working together to get out of here, you might as well know I don’t want father to get the infinite stones,” she spoke and walked to sit with me.And my little friend down twitched at her gesture. “You are a thief, but I know you have a good heart. Please, I
What was with the diamond? What was so important or scary about it? Dra refuses to buy it because there was something with it that he feared. That he was not supposed to be in possession of it if he was to live another day.Then this woman shows up and tries to beat the leaving hell out of me because it meant that much that she gets the stone.Was that why ugly was so determined to get it? What wealth did he mean it meant to the lord of their planet? Was it just because it was expensive or was it just priceless? Dear to the heart.Something was up with it and I might have just stepped into yet the worst thing to ever happen to me.“You just needed to act clever, didn’t you,” she whispered as she paced up and down in the cell they locked us up in.The place was dim, the only sources of light came outside the passageway. At the center of the cells was a vast hole down. Where it led, I do not know, and I didn’t want to find out.“Well, it’s pointless now. Because they will surely come an
