Princes of the universe. Fighting and free,
Got the world in my hands. I'm here for your love,
And I'll make my stand,
We were born to be princes of the universe.
And now on with chapter 2.
About 4 hours into the trip, Cephius is summoned to the bridge.
"It sounds urgent, captain. What is it?"
"Emergency call from Draconia."
"Put it through." Cephius commanded.
On the viewscreen, a man in armor was frantically hitting buttons. "This is General Nardral of the Draconian Kingdom army. We are under attack by an unknown force. We are taking serious damage here. Any ships in this sector, we require assistance immediately. I say again, we are under attack by an unknown force. We are taking serious............"
The communication link broke.
"Captain, full speed to planet Draconia." Order Cephius!
"Aye sir." The captain gave the order and the navigator increased speed to full power.
"What's going on," Vega asked as he arrived on the bridge.
"Draconia is under attack." cephius muttered almost to quietly for Vega to hear.
Vega looked shock.
"By whom?"
"Don't know. We'll find out when we get there." He hit a button on the comm unit.
"Engineering! Galas here. Transfer non-essential power to the engines. I want to go as fast has possible."
"We are already going at full speed…" came the engineers voice.
"I don't have time to argue. Don't question, just do it," he said angrily.
"Aye sir," the engineer replied.
Within a few seconds, the board read a ten percent increase in speed.
"ETA: 1 hour 59 minutes," the navigator replied". He hit another button on the comm unit.
30 minutes out of the Draconian Planet Orbit.
"Draconian Kingdom, this is the starship Venture. Come in." All he gets is static. "Draconian Kingdom, this is the starship Venture. Come in please." At first, he gets static, but something comes through in bursts.
"...can barely hear…do not appr….under attack…Dar....Emp..... is destr…cannot…" The link dies.
"NO," Cephius yells as he bangs the console.
"Cephius," Vega beckons.
"What!"
"Hey, don't snap at me. It's not me that's attacking your planet," he replies angrily.
Cephius looks at his friend and realizes what happened. "Sorry Vega.
Sorry everyone."
The crew nods in understanding. He hits the ship comm link.
"Engineering."
"I'm given her all she's got, your highness."
"I know. I'm sorry for snapping at you."
"It is understandable. I'll see what I can squeeze out of some of the systems I haven't used yet."
"Thank you." He closes the link. "Captain, I'll be in the meditation room. Please inform me when we arrive in orbit."
"Yes sir."
Cephius and Vega walk into the turbolift. "Deck six," Cephius tells the computer.
"What are we going to do," Vega asks as they make their way down.
"I don't know. I'm going to meditate on that one. Perhaps I might come up with an answer."
"Okay. I'll get the crew ready for battle."
"Thanks."
The lift stops and the doors open. "I'll see you in about twenty minutes."
"See ya." Vega says giving a half assed sulit.
Cephius walks out and heads to the meditation room.
About twenty minutes later, "Cephius, this is Vega. You'd better come up here," he said in a serious tone.
"It's bad," he thought to himself as he ran to the nearest turbolift. The doors open and he looks out towards the viewscreen…and is shocked at what he sees. "No," he says to himself as he enters the bridge. On the screen, a planet that was once teaming with life is nothing more that a planet battered and beaten. Instead of forests covering part of the planet, huge craters dominate the landscape. If there was anything left alive, it was surely dying. "No," Cephius whispers.
"Captain," Vega orders, "scan the planet for lifeforms."
"Scanning planet now, sir," the soldier at tactics replies.
"Sir, I can't get a reading. There is too much interference from the energy fluctuations from the planet's surface."
"I see. Then prepare the shuttle. We are going down there…wait up, Cephius." Vega Cries.
Cephius was already in the turbolift. Vega quickly gets in and they head to the docking bay. Cephius wastes no time getting the shuttle ready. Vega barely had enough time to get on the ramp before it closed.
"You could at least wait for me" Vega mutters.
Cephius ignores him. He activates the engines and without waiting, sets the throttle to full power, launching out of the bay.
"Hey," Vega says as he catches himself of the co-pilot's chair.
Cephius quickly swings the shuttle and enters the atmosphere at high speeds.
"Slow us down. What do you want to do? Melt us." Vega says in a half paniced voice.
Cephius changes course so quickly, the shuttle groaned. He headed straight for the surface and pulled up with only a foot to spare between them and the ground.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!" Vega bellows.
Cephius answers by going to full thrust, pushing Vega back into the seat. It only took him twenty seconds to reach his destination. He landed a bit roughly right in front of his home, the Draconian Palace. Or, what was left of it. It had been demolished like the rest of the planet, but, somehow, part of it still remained. He flew into the palace and began searching.
"Hold up," Vega said as he joined him.
"What are we…" Cephius gasped and Vega knew what he was looking for. Near the throne lie the king and queen of the Draconian Kingdom. Both were wounded severely.
"Mother. Father," he whispered as he landed next to them. "Mother," he whispered again as he touched her.
The queen moaned and opened her eyes. "Cephius, my child," she said weakly.
"Shhh. You're hurt. I need to get you to the ship."
"No, we are too far gone to be helped." His father stirred.
"Cephius. It is good to see you."
"Father," he said as he clasped the king's hand.
"Prince Vega, I see you accompanied him. It's been a while."
"It has, your majesty," he said respectfully.
"Listen, you don't have much time. We overheard them talking about an attack on the Moon Kingdom. You must hurry."
"Easy, father," Cephius said with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, son. We are glad that you remain alive and will carry on our heritage."
"Don't speak like that. You two will be fine."
"I'm afraid your mother is right. We are too injured."
"But we have the tech…"
"Son, technology won't be able to save us. We put everything we had into protecting our world. It was not enough."
Cephius fought back his tears.
"But there is hope. You."
Cephius tears began to get the better of him and started to run a trail down his cheak.
"It is all right, my son. We have lived a good life."
A noise from another part of the room caught Cephius and Vega's attention.
"Diana." Cephius quickly flew over to his little sister. Her body was beaten and torn. She opened her eyes.
"It hurts Cephius."
"I know," he said through his tears. He gently picked her up and carried her over to their parents. He gently laid her down in-between the queen and king.
"It hurts, mommy."
"I know. Soon, the pain will stop."
"I'm so tired," the princess said.
"Then sleep, little sister. I'll see you when you wake up," Cephius said, barely in control.
"Sleep, little one," the queen said to her daughter.
"Good night, mommy."
The little girl closed her eyes…and died. Cephius broke down in tears.
"Good bye, little sister."
Vega couldn't help but let a tear run down his cheek.
The king knew he didnt have much time left, so he becond his son over to him.
"My son listen to me. It was the Dark Empire that destroyed our world. And it is its emporer Tempus that leads the rebelion against the Universe. You and Vega must stop him at all cost. Here take my sword Dragon Tear and protect the Universe...... from......... this....... e...v...i....l..........................................."
"Now go, my son. It is time we left this world. When the time is right, we will see you in the next world," the Queen said with tears in her eyes.
"I...I ..ca…n't…leave…you." Cephius muttered thru the tears.
"You must. The moon kingdom is in dire need of help." "Now go. We will see each other again, I promise."
"There is no pain, only peace," he said as he waved his hand over the both of them. Both the queen and king died with smiles on their faces.
Once the breathing stopped, Cephius completely broke down and wept over their bodies. Suddenly, out from his very soul, came a scream of rage that echoed though out the planet. Vega had never seen him like this. Cephius raised his arms into the air and launched all his energy into twin dragons. The dragons grew larger and larger and began to cover the palace. Within a few seconds, the palace was destroyed and Cephius was drained. Vega waited for a few minutes before getting close to him.
"We have to head back to the ship."
At first, Cephius didn't answer. Vega placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I know," Cephius said quietly.
Cephius slowly got up and walked away from his family. "Good bye, sister, mother and father."
Both slowly headed for the shuttle. The energies that Cephius released still covered the surface of the planet countining to grow. but stoped when Cephius and Vega neared the entrance to the shuttle. Both boarded the shuttle and took off back to the ship. Upon arriving at the bridge, Cephius walked over the tactical station. He punched a few buttons and had a lock on the planet.
"What are you doing," Vega asked. "Supplying the last bit of energy needed to complete the ceremony."
He hit the last button and fired a torpedo. It quickly made it's way to the planet and was absorbed by the dragons.
"Now what," Vega asked.
"Take us away from the planet captain, you have about 3 minutes." said Cephius countining to watch the view screen.
3 minutes later the answer came in a brilliant flash of light, radiating from the planet. The dragons appeared to circle one another, then slammed into each other head first, causing a brighter flash of light. Vega watched as the entire planet rocked from the explosion. After the explosion died down, there was nothing left of the planet, just chunks of rock in space.
"Why?"
"So thieves and pirates can't loot the planet, and its soul can be set free after I am gone."
Vega said nothing in response.
"Navigator, put everything you've got into the engines and set course for the moon kingdom. Comm, open a channel."
"Go ahead," the comm officer replied.
"This is Prince Cephius. To Admiral Vilos."
"I read you, your highness."
"Take the fleet and head to the dark side of pluto and wait for my orders. "There you will wiat until you have word from me or Prince Vega of the White Moon. Is that understood Admiral."
"As you wish, your highness." The link broke. "How did you know…"
"My mother told me before she died. I read her mind."
"Oh." Vega muttered looking sheepish.
"Course set." The navigations officer said.
"Engage the engines." The commander ordered.
The ship quickly changed course and engaged the pulse engine.
"Open a comm link with the Moon Kingdom." Cephius ordered
"Channel open." Comm said.
"Come in Moon Kingdom, this is the starship Venture. Please respond." No response.
"Replay that message until you get an answer," Cephius told the comm officer.
"Aye, sir."
"Vega, come with me." Cephius headed towards the turbolift.
"Excuse me. I am a…" A glare from Cephius silenced him.
"Okay. I'm coming."
Both exited the bridge and headed for the mediation chamber. Once there Cephius laid into Vega like a bullwhip on flesh.
"Let's get one thing straight. You do not order me around. Do you think I care about your pride right now," Cephius angrily snapped at him.
"Whoa. First, I'm not the one to get angry at. And second, you never order me around like that. Do you understand!" Vega replied back.
Cephius stared at him angrily, his fists shaking.
"Remember, I can knock you out before you could touch me."
Cephius looked as if he was about to take a swing at him, but suddenly calmed down.
"Sorry."
"That's better. And yes, I forgive you. Besides," he became more serious, "it's understandable under the circumstances. Are you gonna be okay?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine. I just…it's a reflex action I guess. When situations get out of hand, I shut down the emotions that are hindering me. I could become an emotionless robot, as you might put it."
"I wondered about that. Thank the heavens that it doesn't happen very often."
Cephius just shrugged. For the next fifty minutes, the two meditated, or, at least they tried. Cephius found it exceptionally hard to enter the mediation trance.
"Prince Cephius, Prince Vega, please report to the bridge."
Both snapped out of the trance and quickly headed for the bridge. "What is it," Cephius asked. "Sir…I don't know how to say this, but…the moon kingdom. Well sir. It has been destroyed."
"What," Vega bellowed.
"We don't have visual yet, but the sensors show that…"
Vega shoved him out of the way and checked the sensor readings.
"That can't be possible. The Moon Kingdom is heavily defended. There is no way…"
"When will we be within range for a visual," Cephius asked. "Two minutes," was the reply.
Well there is Chapter 2, Not a whole lot or revising done, but we think that it is cleaned up some. Like we said in chapter 1 feedback people feedback.
