The killer stared at Cre with golden brown bright eyes and a handsome smile. The scent of death was in the tent. The body of the Krull’s crown prince lay on the carpeted floor. The eight tribes men stood frozen at the federation badge in the killer’s hand he held up as a sign of his diplomatic immunity even on the homeworld of the Krull. The Silver wings bird badge symbol was a sign of the empire that hired him. The Dar Empiral ebony knife was lodged in the center of the chest of Prince Crowley Krull’s dead body.

“Is there a reason a Federation assassin killed our tribes man prince? This looks like an act of war from the Federation on a small tribe of wanders.” Cre said calmly.

Max laughed pinning his badge to his clean grey suit. “His royal highness Crowley admitted to crimes against the Queen of the Dar and the Empire and Federation of worlds. He was sentenced to die on the spot. I being the witness and judge did so. It is in the agreement your people signed to become members of the federation. Any objections?” He said.

“What is this proof?” Cre asked calmly.

Max nodded his head. “Your a reasonable lad. You’re former leader was aiding the rebel pirates in resources that were exclusively for the Empiral agents and Federation alliances. He was given a choice. Cancel his upcoming marriage and allow Federation school to come onto your lands for education in Federation worlds laws. He chose to attempt running away from his crimes. I put judgement down on his alone.” He said.

Cre stared at the man. “Is your business concluded here?” He asked in a deathly cold voice.

Max smiled and nodded. “Almost son. Almost. I just need to talk to your elders about a few business and political matters sense your leader has passed on today.” He said.

Cre shook his head. “You will present your message to me and whatever orders you wish to convey and then you will be on your way. We have to bury our family.” He said.

“Listen-“

Cre held up a finger. “Wait. I forgot something.” He said took out a bag of federal coins and dropped them at Max’s feet. “There is your fee to say your peace and leave.”

Max laughed but bent down took the bag and pocketed it. “Alright. Federation wants to send in some people to culture your people up some. You will allow the people to come and live on your land. The Empire plans to deposit a hundred thousand in Empire coin for it. I would suggest you bring your people along to reason. You don’t have much choice in it.” He said.

Cre nodded. “You have made your point on it. The Empire will get the land and their people may arrive when they prefer. Is there anything else?” Cre said.

“Sure is. The Queen of Dar wants you to understand neither the Federation or Dar Empire wish you or yours any bad will. Her message is simple. We wish there to be a friendship and marriage between our people. Despite today’s events she does not see the Krull as enemies only family one day soon enough when your people have learned up on the culture and ways of the Dar and Federation of Worlds. I will be on my way.” Max said.

Cre nodded. “The Empire deplomate is leaving. No one will stop him, talk to him or do him any harm. Am I understood?” Cre said.

Max laughed as the others said nothing but they moved aside to give him room to leave. He nodded to Cre. “Good luck to you and yours. I might see you again some day. If I do-“

“-death will follow you. Thank you Mr. Maximum. You have given me a useful lesson on politics I will never forgot. Now that your job is concluded here I expect her Majesty has more cultures for you to visit and bring to heel. I have to tend to my burial of the last prince and heir to my tribe.” Cre said.

Max laughed. “You people are a very odd folk. Very stiff and uppity lot. You need to enjoy life more. It’ll work out lad. The queen does have a affection for your people inspite of this minor disappointment.” He said and walked out calmly with his hands in his pockets. He whistled a happy tone.

Cre stared after the assassin of the Empire. Woodrow opened his mouth but Cre looked at him. The other man froze. “You will allow that demon to leave here before he brings in the demons of the Empire on us. You will not endanger the tribe. We gave them our word that if one of us broke one of their rules then it was a death sentence. You will hold your frame or I will remove your tongue from your mouth. Tell the elders what happened.” He said but when Woodrow didn’t move fast enough Cre took out his Silver Fang knife. “I gave you an order. You’ll do as I say and nothing more or you’ll not leave this tent alive.” He said in heated whisper.

Woodrow looked around at the others. No one moved or said a word. Cre grabbed the front of Woodrow’s shirt. “I said get going. Move.” Cre said and shoved Woodrow back toward the entrance.

Woodrow turned and ran away. Cre turned back to Crowley’s body on the carpet. He knelt down putting away his Silver Fang in his shieve. He stared at Crowley’s emotionless spiritless face. “No sons to carry on your name or carry on our tale. They have robbed us my Lord. They have stolen you away from us. One day we’ll make them pay. May you rest with your ancestors. Sleep well.” Cre said and he closed the eyelids of Crowley.

Cre looked up as he heard someone come into the tent. The old one Rolle stood in the entrance. He took two steps in and then he knelt down beside Cre. “Woodrew attempted to defy you.” He said.

Cre shook his head. “I will have to kill him. He cannot control himself. He will get us all killed with his wild emotions.” He said.

Rolle shook his head. “The others held him back. The elders will judge him. We most leave soon. The Empire and Federation are coming to enslave us. We must find a new home.” He said and reached inside Crowley’s shirt to remove his royal family symbol. It was the symbol of oddly shaped star medallion. “I remember the day I placed this around his neck. It was mark of hope and new life.”

Cre nodded. “Yes. I remember. We must also find some means to defend ourselves against the invaders now that we know their intentions for us.” He said.

Rolle nodded. “I know. Luckily we won’t have to go far to forge a new beginning or alliances. There is still a wedding to be finalized with the Breakers.” He said and then he put the medallion around Cre’s neck.

Cre stared at him. “Elder. You can’t think to trick the Breakers into accepting me as a false Prince of the Krull. I am not-” He began.

Rolle shook his head. “You took hold of the role and you acted accordingly. We must bury your cousin now and head out to the mountains first before we head to the Breakers to finalize the wedding.” He said.

Cre frowned. “Why the mountains first?” He asked.

Rolle smiled rising to his feet. “You must claim the Catalyst only then will you have the means to lead our people to freedom and wed the Breaker Princess.” He said.

Experiment: Logan Jones (A dance in the air) Ch8

Chapter 8

The grand dinner that had prepared was like Logan had remembered. A set of long tables were set single file one at a time lined up in a straight line down. Logan sat next to Darla with his hand in her lap and his hand closed around hers. They talked little Logan was busy practicing wind magic tricks at the table and his mind making schemes.

Sargent Jai called an end to the meeting and they were waved off to separate gender courtiers. A male and female slave lead the males off to their respective areas. Logan stopped the male slave Barko a tall man with a magical purple collar around his neck.

“Barko give me a bit of time here before you take me away. I want to try something for ten minutes.” He said.

Barko frowned at him looking toward Jai first. Jai nodded stiffly. Barko then turned back to Logan. “You may do what you desire but we must go soon Hero Logan Jones.” He said in a respectful voice but it was layered with annoyance and his regard for Logan.

Logan laughed in his face. “Thank you for the kindness. I’ll be sure to return it in the future to you.” He said with a grin.

Barko frowned at him in confusion while the others stared between them silently. There was something in Logan’s tone or wording that suggested he meant something else. Logan’s words sounded friendly enough to their ears but the Marksman was a strange one they were beginning to discover.

Logan waved away the female slave named Cin that was towering muscled barbarian. She tried to take Darla along with her to the female courtiers with the others. She frowned at him almost about to ignore him and took Darla’s arm but Darla calmly smacked Cin’s hand away.

Cin snarled but Logan lifted his hand at her pushing her away knocking her off her feet. The slave girl flew back and landed on her ass. She bounded to her feet but she stared as Logan smiled.

“Easy. Darla doesn’t like to be handle by anybody weaker then her. I just need ten minutes Miss Cin and then you can take her away. So relax beautiful.” Logan said in kind voice.

Cin bowed her head to him. “As you wish.” She said in submissive voice.

Logan came to his feet holding out his hand to Darla. She took his hand and then she gasped as she floated up on the air. Logan guided her up into the air.

They started to guide up into the sky hovering over the training area. Darla was wide as Logan stared at her.

Darla’s clothing glowed jade green as they enbraced and then a glow of magical wind shield surrounded them. They became hidden in the shield.

A few seconds later strange sounds and heat emitted from the magic shield. The sound of a female’s heavy breathing followed before a shout of pleasure came from inside the shield.

The minutes ticked by slowly. Until both Darla and Logan finally appeared. Darla’s cheeks were flush and her eyes half closed as a smile was on her lips. They floated down to the ground finally until they stood back on the ground.

Darla breathed a soft sigh of displeasure as Logan moved out of her reach. He smiled at her. “That was fun. Hopefully we can do that again some other time. I’ll see you later.” He said and headed toward the male sleeping courtiers.

Vince stared at Logan in shocked surprise along with everyone else. Logan took hold of his shoulder and guided him along as well to the sleeping courtiers. “Vince. Tell me my friend what was your life back where you came from?” He asked.

Chapter 25

“Where the fuck is that legless old asshole.” Ryu snarled as he entered the lab.

Beau had a young woman on his lap while he was taking down her measurements for a suit. He held a finger up.

“Give me a minute Dragon.” Beau said.

Ryu snapped his fingers at the girl telling him to go with a head motion. She grimaced but nodded and gave Beau a kiss on the cheek.

“I want my suit in hot pink Honey.” The girl said as she got up.

Beau grinned at her. “I can’t wait to see you put it on and take it off when we go to bed when it’s done. Sugar.”

Sugar giggled. “You make it good enough. I’ll call you up on that Honey.” She blew him a kiss before hurrying out the doors.

Beau looked at Ryu. “I am not making you a suit.”

Ryu flushed. “You old fucking pervert. You got my….Jessica walking around in that skin tight. Lingerie. What the fuck is your problem Yo. You want to die?” He said.

“Hey” Jessica said a distance away as she came into the room.

Jessica had blue vail over half her face in place. Today, she was dressed in a dark blue skin tight uniform with a deer skin Homeworld jacket on. Beau waved her over toward them. “Your boyfriend has a problem with your uniform? Your looking by the way. Isn’t she guys?” He said calling everyone’s attention to Jessica.

Jessica walked over with a sway to her hips as lab members whistled at her in admiration. She blushed and came to stand between them and faced off against Ryu. “You need to stop. It’s just body armor. Beau designed it to curve to my body. It’s meant for protection.” She said.

Ryu stared at her. “The fuck?! I can see your fucking hard nipples and your fat ass jiggling.”

“I-I do not have a fat ass and I am not your girlfriend. What fuck are you harping on Beau for? I chose to wear his suit.” Jessica said crossing her arms across her chest to hide her breasts from his view.

“Hey now.” Beau said pulling them apart. He shook his finger at Ryu. “Jessica does not have a fat ass. Your being mean. She has a wonderful round delightful ass and a pair of crafted tities and a nice pair of legs.”

“You mother-” Ryu said as his eyes glowed. Fire came out of his mouth in gusts.

Jessica blocked his view of Beau and stood looking up at his face while her breast poked up against his chest. “Don’t attack my family.” She said.

“He ain’t no blood to you.” Ryu said looking past her to Beau.

Beau flipped him off. Ryu snarled out flames. Jessica grabbed his chin turning his head to her.

His flames breathed the flames on her face. Jessica stared back without fear. “My father calls him brother and he saved my family. He is Homeworld. He is my family. Family doesn’t hurt family. Ever! So stop being a jealous asshole. We aren’t a couple.”

“I can have you any time I want. Chicka.” He said wrapping his arm around her. Blue and pink flames wrapped around them.

Beau watched as Jessica’s eyes changed to lIght up with wild peach glow. She snarled like a cat and attacked Ryu. Jessica started kissing his face and lips. Ryu laughed as grabbed her ass. Beau started to form a 1911 pistol in his hand.

Suddenly, Ryu was pulled away from Jessica. He turned breathing out fire only to have his head snapping back from a uppercut to his chin. Ryu snarls as he swings his fist at his attacker only to hit air. His arm is twisted back as his head is driven down into Beau’s desk.

Ethan then let’s him up suddenly. Ryu looks at Ethan. “Stand do-ahh!”

Ethan kicks Ryu between the legs and downs him with a punch to the throat. Ryu is holding his throat choking and coughing. Ethan stares at him.

Ethan swings his leg and kicks Ryu in the stomach hard. Ryu gasps and cries out in pain. Beau held out his pistol to Ethan. “You need this? He may doesn’t understand the situation.”

Ethan shook his head. He looked down at Ryu. “You understand the situation, Ryu. Right? I can kill you at any time and any place if you step over the line again. Keep your fucking hands off my sister unless she is fine with you touching her. I’ll see you coming Ryu. I’ll kill you before you even act on it. Your not the Boss here. Your not the King. Your just another soldier here. You get out of line. I will end your ass at any time. You fire tricks don’t mean shit to me. I will end you.” He said softly. “You have two weeks in lock up for in subordination. Take your sorry ass to lock up and don’t say a word to anyone.”

“You piece of shit.” Jessica said before kicking Ryu in the testicles and walking out.

Ethan stared at Ryu as moaned. “Get your ass up and walk to lock up. I’m not saying it again.”

Ryu worked himself up with using the desk. Ethan moved forward. Ryu backs up and walks away carefully staring at Ethan and watchful of him as he exited the lab.

Music played softly a few feet away on my work station as I read from Garret Wild’s Dreamer’s sailing adventure in the Outlands. It was a charming story about the first Nomad’s attempts and success story of sailing the desert sand dunes of the Outlands.

Cooper had been born in the Outlands and had traveled out there every year with my sons teaching them the ways of his ancestors and taking them on the Rite of Passage in a more controlled environment and with his guidance and protection. I wondered what it was like.

The music stopped. I felt the presence of one of sons and looked up in the direction of my son to frowned at Kai and another young man with him. The other man was a corpo dressed in a black suit and with silver blue eyes. I put my book down setting it on the couch and facing them. “Kai. Who is this you’ve brought to your father’s house?”

The man did a mocking bow to me and smiled looking around the room. “It is a pleasure to finally meet you. G. E. H. model 0042M. Your son was gracious to allow me this audience with you.”

“Your an Executive or security Chief from the company then. I can’t go back with you. Cooper bought my contract.” I said frowning at him and keeping Kai in my side vision as he edged around me. “Why are you here?”

“Terry Serio. Do you know that name?” He asked.

I shook my head edging around the couch and putting distance between me and the both of them. “No. No. I’ve never heard of him. Who is he? Another G.E.H. or rival corpo?” I asked.

The man shook his head. “No one important at this stage. Just a solo hired to retrieve something taken from the company. He supposedly failed in his job but that was a lie. He found the item. He just decided to pocket the item to sell for later and put it somewhere safe until he could retrieve it again. Silverback. You must be knowledgeable about of it.”

I frowned at him. “Yes. I am. I don’t have it and whoever this Terry Serio is didn’t give it to me. I’m not lying.”

He smiled and I saw strange white glow come from his eyes that radiated a heat in them. “Oh I know your telling the truth the problem is you Silverback is inside you. It wouldn’t be wise to fight us. Your son has no choice in the matter. He owes us big and we have agreed to compensate him for his betrayal by funding his rise in Cooper’s pack.” He said calmly.

I felt a punch of invisible hit my chest and then the feeling of ice started creeping from my chest and spread all over my body. I fell to my knees as fought hard to breath.

“Just come along with Mr. Ice and me, Momma. They’ll fix you right back up with no memory about what happened and I’ll get you back to the pack safe and sound. You ain’t human so they’ll fix you up nice right and you’ll be seeing me better then all my brothers soon enough.” Kai said coming up behind me and started putting electric hand cuffs on my wrists behind my back.

I stared at Mr. Ice. I could feel my breath being stolen from my body. “Lying to my son about the Silverback isn’t going to get you-” I paused Mr. Ice brought out a laser knife. “I see. So you’ll be doing the operation here then?”

“What?! Yo. That’s not what-“

“Be silent.” Mr. Ice said calmly and Kai closed his mouth. “There is no need to worry. First I get what was promised to me and then I put your mother asleep, reprogram her and the next morning she will have no idea what is missing from her body. Easy!”

I shook my head slowly. “Lies. This will not go as easy you would like.” I said drawing power from Silverback and drawing it up to the surface around my body.

Mr. Ice nodded. “Yes. I will. It saves time. All I need is the Silverback in your chest and yes it is inside you. It was put inside you before you came out of the deep sleep before birth. He kept your secret to the end but your explosive show at the park finally revealed what was inside you from the beginning. Now this won’t take long though it will hurt a bit.” He said and proceeded to drive the knife down toward my chest.

I lit my cig and took a drag blowing out smoke up at Cy’s face. I walked around him and then came to face him. “What the fuck are you doing getting in the way of my business, kid? Shouldn’t you be running a package or something?”

Cy grimaced shaking his head. “I gave my word to my big brother Ice and that fucker that owns the realm behind me. You daughter killed one his archetypes. The Fucker asked for the Jackal be let go and given to them as payment to keep the peace between our realm and his.”

I looked him up and down. “You think your god or something now? Is that it?!” I asked him.

Cy shook his head. “No. I’m just trying to keep the peace and avoid starting up the Frost war again.”

I rolled my eyes and looked at the portal. I pointed a finger at it. “That fucker is going to come back around here. You think you can keep him safe from me burning his ass when I see him on sight?”

Cy glared at my profile. “I’m not protecting that asshole. But, you can’t burn him. He and the others from the other invaders are off-limits. It’s a peace agreement.”

I smiled. “Hmm. Okay. I get you little brother. I get you. Invader Jackals can go run wild in my backyard because you say so?” I said and started chuckling at him as he stared down at me. I stared at him. “Are you done?”

Cy nodded. “I’m done.”

I pointed at the portal. “Destroy that portal along with every other portal in this realm. I’m done dealing negotiating with these invading assholes.”

Cy stared at me. “Sergio! I can’t do that man.”

I smiled. “Oh yeah. You can’t do that can you. Looks like you tied yourself up pretty good and now your no damn use to anybody. Alright. Listen up, kid. You ain’t my Daddy. You ain’t running shit in this realm. This is my realm. The Elders run this shit little brother. We just allow you to live here. You ain’t even old enough to talk back to your own kind yet. So don’t go wagging your dick around me when your balls haven’t dropped just yet. Give me your damn sword.”

“Ah! Man. This shit sucks!” Cy sighed but he held out his sword.

The sword changed as I took it in my hand to my liking. I nodded. “You better get going back to city. Your warrior days are over. Leave your elders to protect our own backyard. Don’t worry. You won’t have to break your word but I ain’t having no shit head Jackal or invader piece of shit fucking around in my backyard. I’m fixing to clear up all this misunderstanding right now and you can believe that shit. Now get!”

Cy put his hands in his pockets and turned and started walking back toward the city. He disappeared as the other Blood Hounds got on their bikes. “Head to the other portals and destroy every single one of them.”

The Blood Hounds slapped their fists to their chests and then started up their bikes and headed off. I turned toward the portal holding the sword end toward the portal and fire and lightning launched out of the blade hitting the portal and it was destroyed on contact. I smiled. It took a bit of time. But, somehow. I got almost everything I wanted.
