Part Ten:
Hell is Here
The Psiioniic, attached to tentacles, his powers is what keeps the warship in control. He glances at the Condense.
"Why don't we get to know each other, my Psiioniic?" She asks.
"Why would you like to get to know me?" He pauses, "I have nothing left, I can't feel anything; besides the pain you are causing me as you drain my powers."
"Haha, why do you think that this is all my fault?"
"You are the one leading the highbloods. You tore me away from my friends."
"You mean that mutant, that disciple of his, and his worthless mother."
"They are more than that to me!" He hisses, "What did you do to Meulin?!"
"Well, we were going to kill her," Condense pauses, "but it turns out that our dear Executioner let her go. I am starting to like that idea better. A life of solitude. Sounds fitting for that girl."
Thank god., Psiioniic says.
"And the mother, was bought for half a million boon dollars."
"What?!"
"It seems our own Marquise was there, out bid a indigo blood."
"Who?"
"Do you know who Marquise is?"
"No."
"Of course you don't." Condense pauses, "She is a pirate, always comes out this way when slaves are being auctioned out. She is pathetic really."
Porrim., He thought.
"Now, why don't you tell me your name?"
"You should know it." Psiioniic hisses.
"Not your title, Helmsman." Condense pauses, "Your name!"
"I still don't know what you mean."
"What was your name before you earned a title?" Condense pauses, "Mine is Meenah Piexes, but you can't call me that!"
Psiioniic sighs.
"Mituna Captor."
"Well, Mituna, that wasn't so hard." Condense laughs, "Perhaps you will become something more than just a helmsman."
Psiioniic turns his head away.
"Maybe I will come back another time," Condense pauses, "when you are not so stubborn."
The Condense gently kisses the Psiioniic's cheek, she leaves the room.
"Damn it!" Psiioniic screams in a whisper, "Kankri, I wish I knew what I had to do to not be like this. Wherever you are, please tell me."
