Hallway, Planet; Iota
Zane stood frozen to the spot she would have to fight Sola, if Sola won then Irk would win. She heard muttered voices down the hall ahead of her.
"Once Irk gets the abyss serum we'll start the attack."
"Sir, this soon?"
"Yes, they're traitors, Akia sent in a spy and we don't know what he really looks like."
"But Ember, must we attack Furon as well?"
"They have always been a pain in outside, the sooner we get rid of them the better." Zane held in a gasp, they were going to attack everyone once they won and who knows what they would do to the Phunk. The announcer called her to the arena, she couldn't warn anybody at the moment, only win and pray that she didn't have to.
Arena, Planet; Iota
Zane gripped her laser tightly, she couldn't get their hands on the Abyss serum or Furon and Akia would be doomed! The gate opened and Zane entered the arena , she stared down at her enemy who was equipped with her metallic arms. Sola grinned, oblivious of her opponent's intent.
"We did it Zahara!" She grinned.
"We didn't do anything; I was supposed to fight Demeter!"
"I know you had a score to settle with him, but that can't that wait?"
"You don't understand everything's ruined now!"
"What are you talking about?"
"But I'll fix it, I'll fix everything! Then, then he won't win." The two advisors were taken aback, who on Iota was she talking about? Zane sped forward shooting her gun at Sola.
"Zahara, what are you doing? We're allies!" Zane pinned her down and aimed.
"No, we have always been enemies. When the clock stops I will prevail." And just as she said, Phunk lost.
"You did it Zahara, you won." Sola whispered, Zane came to her senses as the abyss serum lowered into her hands.
"No, I couldn't I-"
"Irk has won." The announcer drawled.
"I won!" Zane sobbed, she ran off in despair. She had to warn Zod. "Zod!" She called,
"Zahara what are you-"
"You have to get out of here! Irk plans to take control, Akia's in danger too, warn everyone and save as many people as you can. Here take this," Zane said and closed his hand around the glass. "Irk can never get their hands on this." Zod nodded and ran. Zane turned to see two guards standing in front of her.
"Zahara-" the guards started
"We're heading back to Irk now."
"Actually we've been instructed to take you to Tallest Ember. It concerns the abyss serum."
The Massive, Planet; Iota
Zane was escorted to the ship's deck where Ember was sitting in a large comfortable chair.
"Hello Zahara, I must congratulate you on a job well done. Now that Irk has won it will be a synch to be the only Empire. All I need you to do is hand it over and your duties as Zahara will be over." Ember extended a clawed hand.
"I can't." Zane said sharply.
"What do you mean you can't?"
"I don't have it, the rules said that I could do what I wished with it. Seeing as it's gone I will step down as promised."
"What did you do with it!" Ember snarled.
"I sent it away."
"Why! You were there to serve your Empire!"
"No, I was there to serve me, not the Empire and definitely not you. You are an idiot and a monster, while you run the Empire into the ground I will be happily protected by the law."
"Which planet is it headed to!" Ember growled.
"HA! Like I'd tell you! You will never get your hands on it, even if you search the entire universe. Good day ember, I don't expect to see you again anytime soon." Zane bowed and left the main deck. Her revenge was complete, Ember was furious while she was unscathed. Yet it wasn't satisfying, the whole time she was worried about Zod and how he was.
