It took a week for both Billy's and Lieutenant Rollins' photographs to be developed, Angel spent that week with Atlas and Bile, she teleported to Egypt and spent a very pleasurable week with Atlas being pampered and shown a lot of love. Due to her father's family not being in Egypt anymore Atlas was able to go out hunting each night and he was able to take his family and harem out to the Bahariya Oasis three times. He kept Angel and Bile in his sights at all times and he made sure that Angel, whenever she was given something to eat, it was something that wouldn't enter and cause harm to her unborn. Atlas had Angel checked twice during the week that she was back by a doctor, both she and her unborn were very good in health, the doctor even said that due to the baby being slightly bigger than a normal month and two week old she should expect to have a son. She snickered at that and said she'd see what the baby turned out to be in eight months. After a week of comfort Angel was plunged right back into hard thinking, Lieutenant Rollins, Captain O'Nell and the rangers all showed up, Lieutenant Rollins and Captain O'Nell had blindfolds over their faces when they showed up. All of the items that had been collected from DuruVile's mansion home were taken to a room and strewn about on a table, Atlas joined them soon after he discovered that Angel's friends were in his stronghold, he made quick to place himself between Angel and her male friends. Angel was wearing a sky blue wrap-around bra piece with tie-up lacing and a matching loincloth that went down to the ground in the front while it was shorter in the back that had gold tassels and coins hanging down from the beltline. She had aqua arm bands on that had gold designs on them and light brown sandals on her feet. A few strands of her hair had gold and aqua beads braided into it. Lieutenant Rollins felt nervous the second he saw her, she looked radiant.
"Jeez, and this is Duru's house?" Jason said after taking one look at the photo of DuruVile's mansion's front. "I thought Tazir's home was big, this is..."
"How can one live in a place like that without needing a map?" Kat asked, she was looking at the photos of the hallways. "Is this a full gold bathroom?!"
"Holy toledo, it is!" Aisha exclaimed.
They sifted through the photos, Atlas liked the ones of the lizard and the monkeys best, when he saw the frilled snake he shuddered. Angel was looking through the papers in the folders, she had seen DuruVile's house, she had been in it so she didn't really need to look at the photos. Billy and Lieutenant Rollins were also looking through the papers, Atlas was going back and forth from the photographs to Angel, he gave her a few kisses then ran his hand down to her stomach gently before moving back to the photographs. Lisa was called in when Angel's friends got to the photographs of DuruVile's wives and offspring, she shook her head when she started looking through the photos.
"KurukVile has two sister's, one older and one younger than himself." Lisa said when she got to the photos of KurukVile and his two surviving sister's. "AraimeVile and AzvraVile."
"And Tazir has a sister," Kat handed the photograph of Tazir's sister to Lisa. "Qeeta."
"We've been using the front part of the name now instead of the full." Aisha explained.
"The front part is the actual name, Vile is just the added on." Angel explained when Lisa looked at her confused. "You know, like the de Braose's."
"They still use it?" Lisa questioned Angel.
"I can say so," Angel replied. "EshalVile, for example and TaravVile and..."
"I have that photograph now, yes it's still being used." Lisa said as she looked at Tarav's baby photo. "Let's put all these in line. Angel, is there a list of children by... Duru in them papers?"
"Looking now, seems all his kids were born in the same house."
Angel had pulled all of the residential papers out and had put them in order from oldest to newest. She started sifting through them slowly, making sure that nothing missed her eyes. When she came to the first paper that had the first children of her great-grandfather on it she asked for a piece of paper and a pencil. Atlas brought the items over to her then sat down beside her, he watched as she started writing. There were three offspring born to DuruVile through his first wife, Dapira, and four through his second wife, Cyla. His third, fourth and fifth wives all gave him two children each, his first, fourth and fifth wives gave him only daughter's while his second and third wives gave him son's, two for Cyla and one for Ashaklar. When Angel was done writing she slid the paper over to Lisa who picked it up and read it.
Whosla - Dapira and DuruVile, firstborn daughter
Bekla - Dapira and DuruVile, secondborn daughter
Kulabai - Dapira and DuruVile, thirdborn daughter
Araime - Cyla and DuruVile, firstborn daughter
Unnamed son - Cyla and DuruVile, firstborn son
Kuruk - Cyla and DuruVile, secondborn who is claimed firstborn son
Azvra - Cyla and DuruVile, secondborn daughter
Tazir - Ashaklar and DuruVile, firstborn son
Qeeta - Ashaklar and DuruVile, firstborn daughter
Vaiba - Kovina and DuruVile, firstborn daughter
Zajra - Kovina and DuruVile, secondborn daughter
Bellatan - Cardalir and DuruVile, firstborn daughter
Daispa - Cardalir and DuruVile, secondborn daughter
"So in total he has had thirteen children." Lisa said after she had read what Angel had written. "What happened to the son before your grandfather?"
"As far as I know, he passed away in his sleep a month after birth." Angel replied. "Or, at least that's what the book said."
"So, he's had three total son's but only two survived infancy." Lisa nodded her head. "And he's had a lot of daughter's."
"He's got a lot of grandchildren!" Kat exclaimed, she slid a piece of paper over that she had been writing on. "I counted nineteen. And nine great-grandchildren."
"How many of them girls?" Adam asked.
"Twenty-seven are girls." Kat replied. "One is a boy."
Kat had done a lot of writing, she had flipped each photograph over and had written what had been written on the back of the photograph on her piece of paper. She had started off with a tally then had gone on to writing the name of the offspring along with the partner and the offspring born through that pairing. DuruVile had a lot of children, and he had a lot of grandchildren who had children of their own. After handing the piece of paper she had written on to Lisa, Kat leaned back, she shook her hand to rid it of its stiffness.
Bekla and Zebyr - Kashira, Nishona, Webala and Tula
- Kashira (D) and Rubacon - Salasari (D)
- Tula (D) and Bushon - Ladira (D)
Whosla and Keibo - Brala, Vrawie and Shenie
Vaiba and Majeer - Takke and Nekke (twins) and Aesa
- Takke (D) and Kokan - Tarav (S)
Kuruk and Irka - Master Vile, Dara Dara and Triskull
- Master Vile (S) and ? - Rita Repulsa (D) and Rito Revolto (S)
- Master Vile (S) and Helen of Earth - Angel Irene (D)
- Master Vile (S) and Angel Irene - Bile (S)
Tazir and Bespe - Eshal (D)
"So out of twelve living offspring only five have reproduced." Lisa said, she started looking at the photographs of DuruVile's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. "Huh, this is strange. Kat, can you hand me the photographs of Dapira, Ashaklar, Cyla and Kovina please."
Lisa's knowledge on hybridization was what everyone else knew, that when one animal mates with an animal of a different species there was a good chance that their offspring was infertile, it was rare for a hybrid animal to breed and produce offspring and always, it was the female offspring that did that and not the males because the males were fully sterile. What she was looking at confused her, both Kuruk and Tazir had mother's who were of different species from their partner. The notes on Angel's piece of paper had Cyla listed as of the Reshian species and Ashaklar was listed as a Zetakin while DuruVile was listed as a Vilian. KurukVile was a half-breed, as was TazirVile, neither men should have been able to reproduce. Master Vile was also a hybrid, he shouldn't have been able to reproduce either.
"Are you sure on the species?" Lisa asked Angel.
"On Cyla, no. On Ashaklar, yes." Angel replied.
"Neither your grandfather, great-uncle or father should be able to have children." Lisa said. "They're hybrids, they're male hybrids, they shouldn't be ab-..."
"Could it be something like us humans, we can breed amongst ourselves because we have the same chromosome numbers." Billy spoke up. "Could the same be true for them?"
"I can't check th-..." Lisa started to say then she silenced up, she remembered that she had some of KurukVile's blood and Master Vile's sperm still in her freezer. "Let me do a quick check, I will be right back."
Lisa had been told about TazirVile's scars, she had seen none on his hands and hadn't really been looking for scars when he had taken his jacket and shirt off, it was a complete miss on noticing them. She had been too busy wondering the entire time about his species, had been looking at his hands and then had glanced down between his legs, she had wondered how he was able to reproduce, whether he had the normal sex organs of a human or reproduced a different way. As she ran into her yellow mud bricked house she remembered him telling her that all bipeds, all beings that walked on two legs, were made of the same material but were made in different shapes and forms. She went into her kitchen and removed the blood and semen samples from the freezer. She ran into her laboratory area and set up her equipment, she placed the samples on the countertop to thaw out.
Angel had asked Atlas if he could go ask Selma to come into the room that she was in, the note saying what it did and her remembering what Goar had said on his communicator about a sector two F had her mind in a spin. She had not felt any of the dizzy spells in a while now, Atlas had taken good care of her, her morning sickness though had gotten worse. She had her great-grandfather's journal open in front of her and was amazed to see that there was an entrée for the week before in it. DuruVile had written about noticing several of his journals being missing, he claimed in his journal that he had done a special spell to make duplicates so that all of his entries were never lost or stolen but he didn't seem at all alarmed about the originals being gone. He continued making entries in his journal, she found that he had a way to write without use of a pen. He wrote with both a quill and with his mind, some of his entries were made up with him thinking his thoughts. She liked that and found that him not making any spells to destroy the journals that they had taken from his mansion home to be very useful. She could keep track of what was going on, he didn't write all the time, he wrote only when something in his life called for him to write about it. Usually he wrote in his journals only twice a month, very rare for a third entree to be written. There was no entree after the one that had been written the week before. When Selma walked into the room Angel looked up, she rubbed her eyes then stood up.
"You wanted to see me." Selma said.
"Yeees, I cannot remember when you, me and Lisa were caught by Goar and was wondering if you remembered what he said to Tazir." Angel said.
"That there were trespassers on his property." Selma chuckled.
"Into his communicator." Angel returned the chuckle. "Do you remember what he said into that?"
"Sector two F, thirty six, TazirVile Surfeit come in."
Angel went to the note and looked at it, the note had a long list of numbers on it but it also had a sector two F and a number behind it. Angel handed the note over to Billy and pointed out the long list of numbers, there were two lines of the long strand with the sector two F and the number following written underneath. Billy looked at the numbers for a long while before he handed the note back, he had no idea what they were. Kat walked up and looked at the note, she was about to say something when Lisa barged in with a paper in her hands.
"Well we have been completely wrong in this hybrid thing folks." Lisa said excitedly. "Animals, when they breed with a different species, their offspring can be sterile. Bipedal beings, though, can breed freely and their offspring can breed and produce offspring of their own. KurukVile and Master Vile's chromosome number is exactly the same as ours."
"What about Tazir's though?" Angel asked.
"Cannot answer that until we have a sample of him." Lisa replied. "Anyone have a sample of him? Blood, spit, anything?"
"Angel..." Lieutenant Rollins turned and looked at Angel.
"Sorry Charles but all his seeds have got shriveled." Angel replied.
"These are longitude and latitude numbers." Kat spoke up, she took the note from Angel. "The top set are the longitude numbers, the lower numbers and the latitude numbers."
"Alright so we can do a pinpoint exactly on where he was going through that." Angel said.
"And how, do please explain, do we do that?" Adam asked.
"A really big telescope and some computers and some luck." Angel replied.
"I have a friend who works in the states." Lisa spoke up. "He works in a lab that has the biggest telescope known to man."
"Don't you say a thing, Adam!" Angel snapped at Adam who had leaned forward. "Alright, tell me where this lab is and I'll head there."
"Best get ready to take a few extras with you." Lieutenant Rollins said. "I'm going with."
"Same here." Billy said.
"I's goin' too." Atlas spoke up, he hugged Angel tightly.
It took a long time for Angel to see Lisa's friend, two weeks of long waiting. Lisa's friend, a male technician who worked at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Maryland, was thrilled to have her, Lieutenant Rollins, Billy and Atlas arrive at his place of work. He showed them around at first then he took them to the tower where they could get the answers to what they wanted to know. Atlas took a seat at a long steel table, he knew not a thing about technology and was right uncomfortable in the building, his only reason for being in the building was to watch Lieutenant Rollins, he didn't trust the man and didn't like him being around Angel. Billy pulled up to a computer and started pressing buttons, Angel went to a different computer and started tapping in the universal codes. She got a large map of the universe's planets and galaxies up fast, Lisa and her friend gawked at the largeness of the universe, Angel was understanding to this, even she had no idea it was that big.
"Some of the sectors were shut down after a few thousand years of operating." Angel said. "While I was in Pronghorn my teacher said that some of the sectors were shut down due to inactivity."
"Sectors are what again?" Billy asked.
"Bouy's, in other words." Angel replied.
"Dem flohwtin' water tings?" Atlas asked.
"Yes, almost like them only they are placed on a strong steel pipe connected to a station. They float in space, collecting data of all ships and vessels that go through." Angel replied.
"What sectors where shut down?" Billy asked.
"Hold on."
Angel saw that each sector had a letter and a number on them, the active sectors were lit up bright yellow while the ones that had been shut down were grayed out. A-E and H were lit up, I-P were also lit up as were T-W, the only sectors that were completely grayed out where F, G, Q, R and T, then she had to add in the numbers to bring in the full tally. All of sector F was down, had been shut down a very long time ago, twenty sectors in G were up and operational, only ten sectors were up in Q and R and T was down fully. On a whim she typed in Sector Two F and then she typed in thirty-six into the computer. A window popped up immediately.
Sector Two F, Thirty-Six Unavailable, Sector F Shut Down
She typed in Sector M and then fifty-one and the screen suddenly changed, the M-51 Galaxy popped up on the screen. All fifty-one planets appeared along with their moons, Angel pointed out Gamma-Vile, Moas and Mooshang when the map came up then she exited out and tried again to bring up Sector F, when it still wouldn't come up she typed for information on why that sector was down. A long strand of letters and numbers came up on the screen then the screen went black for a few seconds. Angel thought that she had done something wrong and was about to try to head back to where she was before she had tried to get information on the sector when Billy stood up and pointed.
Sector F Shut Down, 10a9bera5
Reason: No life forms present, no reason for exploration
Last Known Traveler: Gam_Veh_1200, owner ShaamVile Surfeit
"Alright, we have the reason why it was shut down and that Shaam was the last traveler in the sector." Angel said. "Don't ask about the number, I have no idea on that."
"Can yeh mahk dat oporahtional now?" Atlas asked, he walked up behind Angel and leaned down. He snuggled up against her.
"I can yes," Angel said. "I can try the codes and see what I get."
She tried adding in codes, she went through twelve then stopped. The sector could only be turned back on by a specific keyword, that she didn't know. She took a short break then started entering a series of letters and numbers, both in upper and lower case. She was about to press enter when she got the idea to put SEC and F in her thought to be keyboard. She pressed enter and closed her eyes, after a few seconds she opened then and saw that Sector F was lit up and was asking her for a command. She bounced twice in her chair then entered Sector Fifty-Seven. At first, nothing happened, then the screen changed and started showing planets.
"Jupiter?" Angel blinked her eyes once then looked again at the screen. "Billy, Atlas, is that what I think it says?"
"Dat do say Joopitor." Atlas nodded his head. "Why he go dare?"
"How old was ShaamVile?" Lisa asked.
"Good question, one I cannot answer." Angel replied. "My grandfather is a hundred and sixty thousand three hundred and twenty-two years. I'm guessing when I say this, but my great-grandfather might be in his two hundred thousands."
"And how old is your father?" Lisa asked.
"Uuuuuh, a hundred thousand six hundred and fifty." Angel had to think hard to remember that, her father had told her that a few times when he had been lecturing her on how to respect him.
"Okay, so two possible generations a bunch of thousand of years apart so..." Lisa started thinking. "ShaamVile might have been in his upper two hundred thousands, we have no idea what Jupiter was like back then. Might have been populated or had a monetary gain on it. Oil or something."
"Jupiter is one of our gas giants, so it might have been the oil or gas Shaam was looking for." Billy spoke up.
"For all we know the planet might have also had life forms on it that Shaam was looking into. A possible next target for conquering." Lieutenant Rollins said.
Jupiter was known as the largest of the Milky Way Galaxy's currently known planets, it was also known as one of the gas giants. Angel typed in the longitude and latitude numbers that were on the note and she found that ShaamVile went straight through from Gamma-Vile into the Milky Way Galaxy past a bunch of currently unknown planets, what she found though was that he wasn't heading to Jupiter, he was on his way to a planet outside of Jupiter, about a million miles away from the planet to be exact. Sector F stood for the Milky Way Galaxy's official barcode, it was the official coded name for the galaxy. Angel pulled up the command for past logs and images then typed in two hundred and sixty thousand years ago. To her surprise the planet that was a million miles away from the planet which they had thought was Jupiter wasn't Jupiter. It was an Earth-size planet that was all shades of green with a very light green and white striped north and south pole. The planet behind was Jupiter. When Angel showed a timeline she saw that Jupiter was on a crash course with the other planet, it took less than fifty thousand years for that planet and the green, Earth-like planet to collide and when they did the green, Earth-like planet was destroyed while Jupiter took it's place.
"Ow, Jupiter really did a number on that planet!" Lieutenant Rollins exclaimed. "Wiped it completely out."
"That's how a lot of planets came into being," Lisa spoke up. "there's a theory that Earth and Mars were once one planet but that they were struck by either another planet or an asteroid and that separated them. Also, that's how we think the moon was made."
"Galactic birth sounds painful." Lieutenant Rollins shuddered.
"What yeh doin' now, Angel?" Atlas asked.
Angel had gone back in to the past log and images portion of the screen and was typing in a number, Billy left his computer and stood over her shoulder, Atlas looked back at him once then turned back around and nuzzled up against Angel. Lieutenant Rollins had just stood up when the screen showed Jupiter in the location that the green, Earth-like planet had been. Off to the side of the screen they saw a light, Angel tried to zoom in but found she couldn't, they were forced to watch as the light got brighter and brighter slowly. When it was at its brightest they saw that it was a shiny black ship which looked to be engulfed in flames or exploding in the back. The ship started heading past Jupiter then turned and went straight into the planet right behind where the red spot was. Angel zoomed into the planet and gasped out, the planet in that location was a bleak, red sanded area but many miles away she saw a multi-brown and red colored forest and tall pyramid-like structures. The ship looked as if it had skidded along, there was a groove where it had landed to where it had stopped. The ship's tail was on fire and it was traveling fast, before it reached the head of the ship a hatch was opened.
"I will be damned!" Lieutenant Rollins exclaimed, he pointed at the being running from the ship. "It's ShaamVile Surfeit!"
"And staff." Angel said when she saw the lizard-like men running out from the ship behind him.
"What happen to deh ship?" Atlas asked, he was now looking at the ship which had completely exploded in flames. "Why it like dat?"
"Possibly attacked or hit by space rocks." Lisa said. "Scientists have always said that meteorites and asteroids came from the belt behind Pluto, they're flung out as if on a slingshot and whatever it in their path..."
"Needs to get the hell out of the way otherwise its in big trouble." Lieutenant Rollins finished for her. "Did he cross any belts though?"
"I can find out in just a second."
Angel was busy watching ShaamVile and his men, they had stopped and turned around to look at the ship then had turned and gone off towards the forest and the pyramid-like structures. She pressed for the time to accelerate a year and found that her great-great grandfather was still alive on the planet, but he was lacking twenty of his lizard-like men now, he had started off for the forest with approximately sixty lizard-like men following him. Angel pressed for the time to accelerate for a year and a half and found that her great-great grandfather was now with two lizard-like men and all three looked sickly. She pressed for the month following and it was now just ShaamVile Surfeit who was leaning up against a crater, his clothing very tattered up and looking very sick. Before her eyes she saw him struggle to reach into his tattered jacket pocket. He pulled out a vial that had a red liquid in it, unscrewed the top then downed it before convulsing. ShaamVile Surfeit, a few minutes later, lay still in the crater.
"Did he commit suicide?" Lieutenant Rollins asked.
"No, I don't think so. Remember that potion you saw in the book in his potions room?" Angel replied.
"Yes, but I don't remember its name though." Lieutenant Rollins said.
"Herleven potion, it caused the being to instantly go into a temporary death." Angel explained. "He took it to save himself."
"He no be dead?" Atlas turned and looked at Angel.
Angel explained that the Herleven potion was a security potion on one's life, if one thought that his or her life was in danger he or she would take the potion and would be instantly sent into a sleep which looked life death. ShaamVile Surfeit, she said, had obviously thought that during his travel he might encounter such a fate and had made the potion and possibly his son knew of his father having the potion. Lieutenant Rollins and Billy went to the computer Billy had been at and quickly shut it down, Angel exited out of the universal network after she had written the precise location of ShaamVile's passing. They exited the lab and walked down the hall slowly, no one spoke. When they left the building Angel thanked Lisa's friend then teleported all of them back to Atlas' stronghold, she went to the room that all of the photographs, journals and paperwork was in then stopped dead in her tracks.
"Hey!" she yelled out. "Where are the journals?"
She and Lieutenant Rollins had come back with a total of six journals, they had all been piled up on the table in order when she had left Atlas' stronghold to go see Lisa's friend, all were now gone, the space that they had been placed in was empty. She ran around asking if anyone had them and found that no one had taken them. When she got back to the room she saw that Lisa had a note in her hand, she was pale and looked scared. Angel walked over and took the note, when she read what was on it her blood ran cold. The note was quickly passed around, going from Angel to Lieutenant Rollins then to Billy and lastly, to Atlas before he was given back to Angel, Atlas looked pissed. Everything else was intact on the table, the photographs, notes and printed documents in the folders were all still there.
"I no like dat guy!" Atlas exclaimed, he finally found his tongue. "He be threatin' Angel, sayin' he be hutin' heh good!"
"DuruVile is a mean bastard." Angel nodded her head. "We know where they are now, though. Charles,"
"Yes,"
"Find Captain O'Nell," Angel walked out of the room. "we're heading to Jupiter."
Captain O'Nell was drenched in sweat and it wasn't because of the suit he was wearing, he was plain nervous and the reason for it was because he was on a planet he had no knowledge of. Beside him in a bulgey space suit was Lieutenant Rollins and in front of both men was Angel Irene. He had been aroused from a sound sleep by Lieutenant Rollins and then had been whisked away with barely any details on where he was going to a space station. He was thrown a bulgey white space suit and helmet then he was given the details of what was going on. He, Angel and Lieutenant Rollins were headed to Jupiter, to find any remains of ShaamVile Surfeit. Angel had a space box with her, a special box that whatever they found would be kept safe in, the box would make sure that nothing fell apart inside it. Jupiter's surface was full of multi-brown and red sand, very fine, he sunk into it with each step. When he checked his arm computer he saw that the atmosphere was thick with hydrogen and helium, there were other trace elements mixed in but a majority of the atmosphere around him was hydrogen. If he took off his helmet he'd suffocate in less than a minute. Angel had teleported them to a flat space of multi-brown and red sand then had led them forward, she had a computer on her arm and had punched in the coordinates of where she wanted to go. Captain O'Nell had wondered why it had taken so long for ShaamVile Surfeit to perish, Angel had told him that it had taken the alien-man two years and seven months to succomb to his illness and had taken a potion to make him become suspended in reality. He was just waiting now, a soul, a spirit, for someone to find and bring him back. Lieutenant Rollins didn't think it was a good idea to go get his remains, he wanted to just leave the man lie where he was, Angel though was persisant.
"So why are we heading in to get ShaamVile's remains again?" Captain O'Nell asked. "I mean, if he was so mean to his son why..."
"He wasn't really mean to my great-grandfather." Angel cut him off. "He was in training and in discipline but outside of that he was right nurturing. A good father."
"Okay, so why are we heading in to get his remains again?" Captain O'Nell asked again.
"Angel has this crazy idea that DuruVile's mind was messed up when he "died" and that with him back his mind will go back to normal and he'd stop beating and insulting his kids." Lieutenant Rollins answered. "I don't think it'll happen, I think DuruVile has been the way he is for his whole life."
"I'm sort of hoping he'll tip the scales some." Angel said. "Distract his son, and maybe even get my father's side of the family in such a confused funk they'll forget about Earth for a short while."
"You are thinking about using the man, in other words." Captain O'Nell laughed lightly.
"It might give us humans a chance to regroup and get an army ready for fighting." Lieutenant Rollins said. "The drawback though is he'll join Master Vile's family and give us grief."
They reached the crater and started digging, interestingly enough there was a slight breeze on the planet which did make the sand cover items. Angel had teleported them in after the red spot had passed over the location, it was known that the red spot generated four hundred mile an hour winds and from the look of the crater, it looked like a hurricane had blown through. Angel ran off to the far side of the crater and started digging, looking for anything she could put in the box she had placed in the center of the crater. Lieutenant Rollins went to the front side of the crater and started digging, Captain O'Nell went to the other side of the crater and started digging. They dug for a long time, going in a complete circle, before something was found.
"Hey Angel!" Lieutenant Rollins yelled. "This looks like a bone and fabric here."
Angel ran over, as did Captain O'Nell, they had to work quickly, the red spot was coming around and would be at them in less than two hours. When Angel got over to her friend she saw that he had a leg bone in his hand. It was brittle but was in fine shape. Angel ran over and got the box, Lieutenant Rollins put the leg bone and fabric piece inside then went back to digging. ShaamVile Surfeit's bones had slid down after his flesh and musculature structure had broken down, each bone was brittle but all were found and each bone was intact. It was just the skull that was missing, they had less than thirty minutes to find it, the wind had picked up. Angel, on a whim, leaped over the craters side and started digging. She found the skull and lower jawbone just behind the craters side, she quickly put them in the box then stood up. When she turned to her friends she saw that Lieutenant Rollins had a sword in his hand, it was very brittle. Angel nodded her head then grabbed her friends and teleported them back to Earth. The sword's brittle blade become dust as soon as they appeared back in Atlas' stronghold, Atlas jumped when they appeared then he sat back in his chair, he had Bile in his arms.
"Okay, now what?" Lieutenant Rollins said.
"Now Lisa and the kids will arrange the skeleton while we three fight." Angel replied, she placed the box on the table.
"While we three fight?" Captain O'Nell repeated her words. "Fight what?"
"Stone Canyon was evacuated last night fully," Lieutenant Rollins spoke up, he was slipping out of his space suit. "last month Goblins were seen cavorting near the front of the town, they pulled back after Tazir came to Gamma-Vile to retrieve Angel. I shot him and obviously, injured him pretty bad as he hasn't been back on Earth since." Captain O'Nell and Angel had fully slipped out of their space suits, Angel tossed and waved her hair back, the gold beaded and coined braided parts shone brightly and made Lieutenant Rollins blink his eyes in shock.
"Let me guess, Tazir returned sometime in the week and has been readying his troops for battle." Captain O'Nell sighed.
"He returned last night." Angel said. "I checked before we left for Jupiter, the Goblins have their camp down fully, weapons are being handed out as we speak probably."
"Any troops in the area?" Captain O'Nell asked, he got serious.
"Yes, sent in for five thousand." Lieutenant Rollins replied. "Got double that, so we're ready to rumble. Just need the leaders."
