Chapter 10 – Changes
"Sir, power has been restored to every part of the ship and we are ready to fire the Sismonic canon at any time." One of the black armored Neutrosians said on the bridge. "Are you sure you want to destroy the planet sir?" another one said. "The creatures that attacked us were the ones that had the Warriors Soul boded with hem, I'm sure of it." The captain said. "But destroy the planet?" asked one of the Neutrosians. "I was going to destroy that puny rock any way. The attack on our ship just gave me the excuse I needed. FIRE THE CANON!" Maxorus ordered. "YES SIR!" the entire crew yelled out. Smiling deviously, captain Maxorus whispered to himself, "This should teach those do-gooders to mess with me and my destiny." Suddenly an alarm sounded and the entire room went dark and began flashing red. Maxorus' face fell into the shock of a surprise defeat. "Sir, the Sismonic Canon is overloading itself. I can't shut it off. It's going to explode." One of the crew members shouted. "Thirty seconds till Canon destruction sir. Orders to evacuate?" the entire crew looked to Maxorus for the call; the captain however was frozen in fear and disappointment. Seeing their captain in such a state, it wasn't long until the entire room except Maxorus began to panic and flee. "This can't be happening to me." he whispered, and with that, the canon began sparking. Fires erupted in random parts until the strain was too much to contain, the canon began glowing a hot red from the heat and pressure. Then from the middle of the canon, came an explosion large enough to engulf the entire planet if it had been set off there.
Bolt looked up to the sky, and saw a brilliant flash in the night sky. 'That must have been the alien ship.' He thought to himself. Curling back up on Penny's bed, placed his head on top of Mittens' and fell asleep, exhausted. When morning arose, Penny was shaking Bolt awake. "Wake up Bolt, guess what?" she said excitedly. Mittens just kept her eyes shut, but Bolt just couldn't help it, he peeked an eye open and looked at Penny asking silently what she wanted. "We've got some people here you just have to meet. Get up Bolt, you to Mittens." With that, Penny nearly skipped out of her room she was so excited. Bolt decided that he wasn't going to get back to sleep after such a wake-up call, so he yawned, stretched his neck and attempted to get out of Mittens' grasp without waking her up. "Stay." She said groggily. Bolt just chuckled at the intended command. "I can't Mittens. If we don't go see what it is, Penny's going to keep bugging us until we get up whether we like it or not." Bolt informed her. "Fine." She said getting up and stretching out her stiff muscles. Hopping off of the bed the couple traversed to the living room where they became fully awake at what they saw. Penny and her mother were talking to the three Nutrosians that escaped the explosion. The two blonds were chatting up a storm with Penny and the white haired one was answering any questions that her mother asked. It wasn't until the blond with wings turns slightly and saw Bolt and said, "You have the talking dog as a pet? Cool." that the pets were even acknowledged. Rhino rolled his new ball off of the couch to meet up with the others, "Rhino what does she mean by talking dog exactly?" Bolt asked. "Well, it seems that our powers come standard with the ability to speak and understand over three hundred different languages." Rhino informed his friends with a knowing smile. Looking at the humans and aliens Bolt noticed Penny's mouth hanging open in shock. Pointing at him she said, "How'd you do that Bolt? You just spoke in perfect English." "Honey, it's a long story." Mittens told her not wanting to go through it at all. Suddenly a thought came to Penny, out loud she said, "Talking pets. No one at school is going to believe this." Getting excited, and ready to 'show and tell'. Until Mittens said, "You're right Penny, they won't." smirking at the human girl. Penny frowned a little in disappointment and said, "Rats." Everyone laughed. "My name is Bolt, this is Mittens and this is Rhino." Bolt said motioning to each in turn using his front right paw. "Pleasure to meet you all, My name is Angeliera." Said the blond, winged Nutrosian as she curtsied. The other blond stood up to introduce herself, "I'm Ferla." "And I'm Clera." said the white haired one. "Now you said there was a story behind you talking Bolt. I want to hear it, now." Penny said sternly. Lowering his ears Bolt just knew he was going to be in trouble for this, Mittens interrupted his little hesitation by saying, "You're not in this alone Bolt, I'll always be by your side." "Me to Bolt." He heard Rhino say from the other side of him. Perking up and smiling Bolt began to tell Penny and her mother the entire story.
