Helena cleaned her apartment after I'Sons visit. He was so good for her. They shared simmilar taste in movies, food even music. Wich was a good thing. She had an extra ticket for a show a few months into the future. The Trio was an all girl group, but their music was so uplifting and positive. Just what I'Son needed. He was clearly a very goal focused man, eager to stay on top of the game. She had asked around,and I'Son was clearly one of the rising stars within Technoid. All she had heard, spoke of a man with high work ethics, and whom was well liked by his co workers. She could not stop smiling as she thought of him. When she made her bed, pleasant memories came to mind. As she cleaned the living room, putting away their wine glasses, she noticed that I'Son had forgotten a book. It was a book that was about fluxes. Interesting. She never thought he was into that. But it was surely not something he was done with. A lot of small sticky notes in his handwriting was seen everywhere. She wondered if he had a lecture today, and wheter she should go deliver it to him before classes. Him living with Bleylock had him live off campus, and it was a far way to his house. Should she take the tube out there to deliver it? On second thought, maybe that was not a good idea. She had heard of General Bleylock before. She recalled him entering the room, a very cold personality, to think I'Son shared a house with him..it was insane. She decided to head to campus and if need be, ask her employeer, Duke Maddox on advice on the matter. As she exited her apartment, her neighbour joined her. They had the first class of the day together. She noticed the book and recognized who it belonged to.

"You know, the mens dorm is nearby. I heard he still has his own dorm room here on campus. Just in case things did not work out as it should"

Helena made a quick decision.

"Lets head over there and put it in his mailbox. I can tell him at class that the book is here" she said.

Her neighbour smiled.

"I think you are in love with him. Cant say I blame you. He is really hot" she commented with a smile.

Helena laughed.

"He is actually my boyfriend, we decided on it last night" she said.

"Lucky you, it is a real prince charming you got there, from what I have heard. I hope you will stay together, most beautiful couple on campus for sure" she smiled.

Helena smiled.

"And caring too. He said he was going to move out of General Bleylocks home. He just was not all sure how to do this, as General Bleylock supposedly recently received some bad news from his home planet, and I'Son stayed to help him through the worst. Duke Maddox sent him off to Ascaron, to take his mind of things with that, I understood it was family related" Helena told her neighbour.

She smiled as she shook her head.

"Like I said, a real prince charming. Lets drop the book of at his place, at least you will know where to find him when he is not working" she laughed.

Both girls laughed as they made their way over to the mens dorm...


There was plenty of dorms, so it took a while to find where I'Son had his place. Finally, a helpful friend, one of the footballers who knew him, pointed them in the right direction. Helena and her neighbour hurried over, so they would not be late for class. But outside the door, they were met with a harrowing sight. I'Son was on the ground, his clothes partially torn, revealing several open wounds. There was no telling how long he had been there, but Helena rushed to his side, and checked his pulse. He was still breathing, but it was clear, from the pale skin, he had suffered a blood loss, and was in need of medical help, and right now.

Helena quickly snapped into a professional mode.

"Can you drive?" she asked her neighbour,as she knelt next to I'Son, whom winched as she touched him. This was hurting him, and a lot. What in the galaxy could have possibly happened? She quickly pulled out a set of clean latex gloves from her purse, and put them on. Then, she found some iodine, thank heavens she kept a small medical kit in her purse at all times, and tried to clean up his wounds before carefully bandaging him up. I'Son made a hissing sound as the cotton ball with the iodine touched his skin, it was clearly hurting. And the cuts seemed deep. There was also dried blood all over, he really lookd a lot worse than what could be the case. But rigt now, he needed to be checked by a doctor She checked his pulse. A bit faint,but still there, he also felt cold.

"We need to get him to the emergency room, he needs medical attention, screw the lecture, this is more important"...


Duke Maddox was angry. He knew Bleylock had been home last night, to get some paper work from home. And now, his personal nurse had called, and informed him, they found I'Son outside his dorm, badly beaten, and with a blood loss. They had treated him on site, and was now driving him to the emergency room for a check up. Duke Maddox has a strong suspicion as to what had taken place. But before he contacted Bleylock, he needed to speak to I'Son, find out what had happened. Bleylock would lie to get out of trouble, that was nothing new. If he was behind what had happened to I'Son, he would have his hide for it. Duke Maddox got up, for now, he did not care about Bleylock, the most important thing was the injured scientist. He called the emergency room where he had sent them.

"It concerns I'Son Danvers. I want a full medical check up done on him when he comes in. Put him in a private room, and make sure it is the best you got available, taking care of him. I also want X rays. If this is what I think it is, I am going to have to put extreme measures into place, to prevent a crazed Abaxian from killing an innocent Akillian"...


I'Son opened his eyes slowly, only to find himself stretched out on his stomach at an examination bench. There was sharp lights around him, and many that were dressed in white coats. Since he was dazed still, he thought for a second it was his co workers, that something had happened at work, that he had passed out or something. But as he came to, he realised, he was in the emergency room. And Helena sat next to his examination bench, holding his hand, with a worried expression on her face, while Duke Maddox stood behind her. Great, this was not what he felt he needed now, he only wanted to go back to sleep. The pain would subside, if he only got to rest for a while.

"He is waking up" said Helena, who noticed his eyes flutter. Duke Maddox turned towards the injured professor on the examination bench, whom clearly was still in pain. As he tried to roll over on his back, Helena quickly put her hands behind him as a barrier, to stop him from whatever he intented to do. I'Son let out a small yelp of pain as she touched a particularly sore spot.

"Easy there I'Son, You're really badly injured. Dont try to turn over. It will hurt even more if you do. At least wait untill you get something for the pain first" Helena said, clutching his hand encouragingly.

Duke Maddox talked to a doctor who showed him a few x rays. This was surely not a good thing. Duke Maddox approached I'Son. His face was a mask of worry. Next to him, was a doctor, clearly the one in charge of his case.

"How are you feeling I'Son? Do you feel like you can tell us who did this to you, and why? Your injuries are pretty serious I am afraid. We will recommend that we put a back board on your back before you turn. We did some x rays. You have some serious fractures to your spine, and we believe the best thing now, to prevent things from getting worse, is a back board, and painkillers. You will remain admitted to medical care for some time this was that led to this injury, you are lucky the one that did this did not down right kill you. There are several fractures to your spine that has us worried" he explained.

I'Son sighed. The cat was out of the bag now. There was no need trying to hide what had happened. Bleylock had to be held responsible for his actions.

Duke Maddox took seat next to him.

"I need you to be honest with me I'Son. If Bleylock did this, and I know he has done simmilar to prisoners, you need to tell me. I also need you to press charges against him"Duke Maddox said, looking at him. I'Son turned his head. He had no choice in the matter, he had to tell what had happened. But he also was in part to blame for this, so he would not press charges. Bleylock needed someone to be there in this time, that was supposed to be him, and he was not there. He had driven Bleylock to this, by not telling him.

"I would prefer not to talk about it, but I know I got no choice. But I wont press charges" he mumbled.

"It is too late for that I'Son. I will not have you cover for Bleylock. If he is the one that did this to you, I am pulling the plug on his mentorship for you. You are one of the most promising and gifted young scientists we have, my youngest fully trained professor. I wont have Bleylock put your life in danger like this. So, tell me honestly I'Son, is it Bleylock or someone else that did this to you? At any rate, your belongings at his house will be removed by my men. And I spoke a lot with your beautiful girlfriend here where you were unconscious. This is getting far too dangerous for your safety. First off now, I will make sure you are relocated to a private hospital to receive medical treatment for your is something I will pay for personally. Second, I will have you speak with a psychiatrist, to make sure your mental state is fully operational. You will be taking some time off to recover. I suggest that you inform your family on Akillian as to the incidents that took place here, and as soon as you are well enough to do so, take a trip to visit them. You have stayed away for some time now, and I am sure they would want to meet your girlfriend too. You made a good choice there I'Son, you will be fine with her by your side. But tell me the truth" he said.

I'Son sighed. There was no way this could be turned around. Slowly, he told them what had happened...


Bleylock was cleaning up after the nights fight with I' Son. He had managed to slip away, he did not know how, but he was not in the house. Bleylock had checked all incident reports from the emergency room. There was no sign of him. He even had someone check his dorm. There had been found traces of blood smear outside his dorm door, but no I'Son. Someone informed him that Helena Ortiz and her neighbour had taken him to see a doctor for the injuries. But as he checked, he found no logs on him. It was as if I'Son had vanished into thin air. As he continued his clean up, the door was buzzed. As he opened, he found a cross and seething Duke Maddox, flanked by his robots and police.

"Your Highness, what brings you to my humble home?" he tried.

Duke Maddox was seething.

"I should lock you up right now Bleylock.I got a severely injured scientist in a now guarded location, after you nearly killed him last night. I should not have to tell you, this ends your mentor ship of him. I am here to gather his belongings from the apartment, I understood that he had already packed them. There are times in life when it is better to cut your losses than try to hold on to what is not yours. I'Son is no longer under your mentorship.

I have had him taken somewhere safe to are lucky he refused to press charges, lord knows I would. You promised me to behave, to prove yourself worthy of my trust with him. And you failed. I got the proof of that. He has been thoroughly examined. There is several cracks to his spine, he came within inches of being crippled by what you did. All I can do, is to make sure he is provided proper care and treatment. And you, will not get close to him ever again. As soon as he is well enough, I will have him relocated somewhere he is safe from you. He is no longer your responsibility. Do You hear me Bleylock?" he asked.

Bleylock bowed his head in shame this time. This was his own fault. And now, I'Son was placed somewhere he could not find him. Bleylock felt like his heart broke in two. Was this really what I'Son wanted ? For things to end like this? Bleylock watched bewildered as The policemen brought I'Sons things out of his apartment, and drove off with it, to a destination unknown.

He avoided arrest, simply because I'Son, against Duke Maddox advice, did not press charges. If he had, Bleylock would have been jailed by now, and he knew it. As much as it angered him, It drove Bleylock crazy. He returned to Ascaron, dark in his soul. If he could not have I'Son, no one else was going to have him either. The dark anger led Bleylock to try out new mixes. All of I'Sons research had been deleted from his data base there. That infuriated him even more. It was the entire galaxy conspiring against him, keeping I'Son hidden.

And he needed him, more than ever. He had to find him, talk to him, one on one, make this right. But how? He had no idea where to even start looking. But he was not going to fail. But first, to deal with the pesky Chissian Military group. They were led by a sergeant Corso Takashi. His file was fun reading, this man could have been his brother when it came to rotten luck. And he seemed stone cold too. Too bad he had to end them all, but that was how this was going to be played out.


It had been weeks, weeks in this private hospital, with therapy sessions, regular examinations, and rigorous training to get his strength back. I'Son carefully put his feets on the floor. He still had to wear a back board, as the doctors still worried about his spine. But overall, he felt better, more rested. Helena entered the room with a smile.

"There is my wounded warrior. How are you feeling today?" she asked as she helped him put his t shirt on.

"Better, and I think even more now that you are here" he smiled, and kissed her.

Helena leaned in to the kiss.

"Today, you will be released after the examination if all is well, hopefully they will remove the backboard too. But you are still on sick leave. Duke Maddox has arranged for us to fly off to Akillian, to visit your parents, and also, if you want, a new housing for us, off the Akillian plant. I heard it is beautiful there, in the old city of Arcadia. A small town house, perfect for the two of us. You also get to meet your new mentor. He was supposedly on Ascaron recently, now Duke Maddox has reassigned him to Akillian. His name is professor Monteague. He will mentor you when you are ready. But first off, you need to recover more, Your family will be so happy to see you. Duke Maddox already informed them. They are expecting us both" she smiled.

I'Son smiled as he heard that.

"lets go get the medical examination done. I feel ready to leave this place. I have stayed in bed for long enough" he said.

Helena laid her hands around his neck.

"Ready to start over now? To put all the bad things behind and look at life from a fresh new starting point?" she asked.

I'Son smiled.

"I am Ready, to start my life with you"...
