Dux walked around his bridge, the last 3 hours, he had been avoiding
the ERA. With Sir out of the way, ERA had been able to take over the
new universe, which was now in chaos due to the increasing amount
wars. The Raxian vs. Cetarian war was the worst of the galactic wars,
which forced Dux from his home world Cetus.
With nowhere to turn,
Dux joined the free captain's guild, the ones who fought against
the ruler, Antaneel, and his staff.
He glanced at the clock on
wrist, 8000.96 CE, it read.
At the current moment Dux was thinking
about The siege of the fallen planet Cetus, where his loyal friends
died fighting for an idea, an idea that every person, no matter who
they were, had a right to wealth and protection. He was thinking
about how at the beginning of the battle they were winning, When the
Raxian forces arrived at the battlefield and saluatered men like
cattle, And how he lost his closest friends to that traitor Art
Redclaw.
As he thought of that last memory he cursed Arts name.
That b took everything, He thought, when I catch him, I will
kill him. On the outbreak of the Raxian Certarian war, the Raxians
offered amenity to Art. Runt was the one who died defending Dux from
none other than, Art Redclaw, who fired the plasma cannons that would
have killed Dux. Art Redclaw, the man who killed Kendarn tarr, who
was on a diplomatic mission to see if peace was possible. Art
Redclaw, The man who's sole existence was the reason of the
Raxian-Cetarian war. Art REDCLAW, The man who killed a planet.
Dux,
after reviewing almost every point of his life, was trying to think
of a way to get the ERA off of his tail. When suddenly over the
intercom system can a message from the engine room, "Captain we
cant keep pushing the engines to there limits, there going to
explode!"
All of a sudden, the Bridge Emergency lights came
on, His engines were going to blow like a nuclear warhead. Dux looked
over to his bridge door, it was closing off, he only had one shot to
get off his ship alive, the one life pod. At least, Dux still had
friends who would loan him a new ship.
As Dux was heading for the
lone life pod, his ticket to life, a crew member ran up to him
"captain there only one life pod, who going to use it?" At
the moment Dux remembered an old saying from history before the
discovery of space travel " the captain goes down with his ship.
" James tell everyone to get into that life pod as fast as they
can", "what about you sir?"
Dux said to the crew
member, "Looks like I'll be going down with my ship"
As
the last crew member ran to the life pod, Dux thought of the last
ditch weapon he made incase his death was inevitable, a gamma ray
cannon.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to use this thing"
Dux said "Always thought I would die in my bed as a old man,
might as well drink that spiced ale I was saving"
As Dux
looked around for his bottle of ale, he found a spare Quadrium rod he
forgot about.
"Maybe" Dux said aloud, "maybe I can
jump to a planet." Then he addressed to his computer, "set
coordinates to planet Trellum."
Dux tried to remember, was
Trellum under ERA leadership? It was a gamble that he was willing to
try. He had a friend who worked at the Dry Docks that would help him
with repairs.
The Engines flared for one last time, And boosted
him to the Trellum dry docks. Then he remembered, Trellum is under
the control of ERA, Where does a convict go in a world of
Convicts?
The Era academy, which has become a large base of ERA
members, ERA recruits. He couldn't go there for help.
He started
to drift towards the planet; ERA caught him on one of the many scans
they used to find his cloaked starship. They started firing
projectiles.
As the ERA was firing on the Fatuman (his ship), Dux
was in the armament room standing next to the gamma ray cannon.
"well
it looks like im gonna die," he screamed aloud.
As the cannon
was firing up, Dux thought everything that ever happened in his 36
years of life, his first love, his first lose, his first ship, his
first kill. The gamma ray cannon fired its load of deadly ray,
several ERA ships exploded producing a White light that surround
everything, including the planet, but not the dry dock, which had
turned into a rebel base. The light was too powerful, It Shot through
the ships halls and into the armament room and burned all the skin
off his bones. Then it got very cold. His brain froze.
As Dux woke
up, he looked around. He was in a white room, from the looks of it a
sick bay.
At that moment a man walk into the room.
"Who
are you?" Dux asked the man.
"My name is Jacob, and you are
on board The Phantom"
" What year is it?" Dux
asked Jacob.
"Its 10000CE" Jacob replied.
