score a lucky
hit.
Next thing they knew the ship had landed and
Marines posted to keep the peace opened fire, but Oliver jumped out
and moved too fast for them to keep track. Blaster fire could be
heard inside the expansive room filled with top scientists and
reporters. Oliver though didn’t draw his sword or shield. His speed
though let him knock out highly trained Marines before they could
blink.
On stage Jake Dorgen stood and his booming
voice didn’t require enhancement. “I’ll take care of this.” But as
the burly Scotsman took a single step the large double doors were
kicked in by the armored body of a Marine sailing through the air
by a kick to the chest from Oliver who came in covered in
reflective silver coloring his battle armor. “Lad, What…”
The crowd gasped as they had never seen a man
run so fast. He moved more like a blur. One moment he was on the
back end of the room and he next he was on stage. “She’s been
kidnapped. Deegen and Bell are dead.”
The rage from Oliver was equaled by her giant
of a father. “WHAT!”
Oliver noticed Stone instantly go livid along
with Satellite the falcon on his shoulder standing with Stephanie
and two other crew members. Behind was the fifty three canisters
found and being scanned by dozens of orbs. “We need to move. Time
is our enemy.”
Despite how Jake’s face went
red as his hair and the throbbing vein in his head to watch out for
pulsed he turned to the crowd still recording for the scientific
community as well as GNN and other news stations. “The interview is
over, Lads. Someone just stole me daughter from me. I’m coming for
blood. Whoever ye are, I hope ye be watching. Ye’ve just pissed off
the pirate king and I’ll have yer heads.” His eyes blazed green
with power unmatched in a millennia. “ Give her back and flee for yer
miserable lives. If I have to chase ye, ye will die fer this. To everyone else, I
leave these canisters as agreed by Andrea Loke to distribute for
further study. Now get yer arse moving, Lad. Stone, go with the lad
and get to the ship pronto.” Jake touched his ear. “First Mate
Krabble, we’re leaving soon. Get me ship ready.”
“ Already on it, Captain.
We’ll raise anchor in fifteen minutes max.”
“ Lad, use the com to tell me
the situation.” Jake ordered in Oliver’s ear as he ran out, Stone
following with Satellite flying overhead.
Marines were sill unconscious, but fighters
seemed to have been ordered to stand down as the ships we just
beginning to remove their pointed weapons off him and the Flare.
Oliver began recounting events as he jumped in the pilot’s seat
with Stone jumping in behind with the falcon already on the back
seat as the top lowered. He spoke of all he knew and it helped
distract his unbridled anger. The line to the Dorgenox was short
lived when Jake said “One moment, Lad. Steven is trying to speak.”
He went quiet for over a minute before being reconnected to the
captain. “Lad, alter course. Drop Stone to fly Deegen’s fighter. I
can’t leave it. Steven is with the wounded right now being patched
up. Ye need to do this and transfer data of the ship’s recording of
in which direction they jumped into FTL.”
Taking those orders weren’t easy, but it
would still be minutes before the ship could lift off. He pressed a
few buttons and flashed the Flare’s video recordings to the main
starship while going back to the Tower of Loke. For another three
minutes Oliver finished recent events. “Then ye need to dock in
space. I won’t wait planet-side. “Got it?”
“ Aye aye.” Oliver said and
the coms went down.
Behind Stone at last spoke “So our brother
had his throat slit by Phantoms? And more than the four you and Ms.
Void took care of?”
“ At least a dozen more. They
were highly skilled and well equipped. I didn’t know Deegen or Bell
as long as you, but I already miss them. I’m sad they didn’t die at
least in a good fight. They were murdered… but why
hit.
