Chapter 3

Up, meanwhile, was in a strange situation… When he went to go check on Specs and Krayonder he found another person in their place. It was a man who looked to be a year or two older than Taz. He had dark curly black hair, bright emerald green eyes, and golden tan skin.

" Umm.. Excuse me, who are you?" Up asked as the man turned towards him.

"Lieutenant Derek Valdez."

"Well Lt. Valdez, why are you teaching my class instead of my privates?"

"Well Commander,they never showed up." Derek said sarcastically while raising his eyebrows.

"Don't you dare speak to me in that tone! Who is your Commander?"

"Commander Price."

"Who?"

"Commander John Price." Where did all these people come from?

"We just got in from earth yesterday," Derek said with a smirk. "You spoke out loud." he said answering Up's confused expression.

"Why were you and whoever was with you on earth, and why are you here now?" Up asked getting annoyed.

" Well all famous Commander Up, We were on earth going through all the runes of destroyed villages in Mexico. We finally finished after eight years of it. So the G.L.E.E. wanted us on this starship to help out. Did that answer enough questions or do you have more?" Derek said in a mocking sweet tone, his eyes daring Up to do something.

Up stood there for a few seconds and then took one big step forward. He was standing so close to Derek that he could see the freckles on his nose. "You make one more remark like that and I will rip you apart limb by limb." Up whispered in a deadly tone.

"You don't scare me Up, your not the man you once were. Now why don't you run away and cry in a dark corner."

And with that Up punched him. Derek fell to the ground clutching his nose and blood was pouring through his hands. Up was standing there visibly shaking with anger and yelled "Someone get him out of here!" But no one moved, all of the students were frozen with shock. Up pointed at a tall red headed boy to his right. "Take him out or you fail your training." The boy quickly ran to Derek, helped him up, and left. "Everyone can leave early." Up said taking a seat on a bench and dropping his head into his hands.

What just happened? I just punched a Lieutenant and lost control. You are not weak. You are Up, the toughest Commander known in the galaxy. You went soft once but swore never to again.

"Up? Hey Up? Are you okay?" It was Taz.

Up picked up his head and smiled slightly, "Yeah, I'm fine."

Taz sat next to him, "Liar, on my way here some students told me what happened and I saw the guys nose, well the blood from it. So do you wanna tell me the truth?"

"He basically called me weak. It pissed me off so I punched him… I thought I had put that all behind me but I guess not."

Taz didn't say anything but just took his hand and held it. To Up it helped more than words ever could. It meant so many things but it mainly meant I am here and we will get through this together. Up turned and pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks Taz. I honestly don't know what I would do with out you. You know I lo-."

Someone cleared their throat, "Commander your wanted in Captain Johnson's office.", it was the ensign who helped Derek. "Okay, I am on my way."

The ensign left and he turned to Taz. "I'll see you at dinner okay?" Taz nodded and he left without another word. She sat there for a minute going over what just happened. Was he going to say he loved me? No. Even if it was it would be friendship love. Taz shook her head to clear it, Now lets go find out who this cabron is.
