Chapter 4 -Pursued!
It would take several days for Krijys team to travel to Earth. They would pass several solar systems, and one deadly black hole.
Meanwhile, Krijy was making his plans. Once he gained control of the maian vessel, he would have access to the alien medias. He would make a thorough search of them, to see if the aliens had found the ship yet. After that he planned to find a military base and take over. He could then use the alien satellites to search the globe, for the ship.
They had all got to know each other. Bill held things pretty much to himself, but was a good friend. Death hated maians so much that he was all excited about the mission, and hoped to kill some maians. Sultry was looking forward to torturing the aliens, and was forever sharpening her torture equipment. Budge liked to keep them all happy, and was the loudest one in the crowd, boasting about all the accuracy medals he had. Syric, was very secretive. He made the excuse that he needed the silence to think about cracking maian codes, and used the saying:
"I team with the people I think will win"
Bill was steering the ship past a nearby star, when suddenly he noticed something on the radar. Syric took a closer look at it, and then roared out "We've been discovered!!" A maian squadron of five ships were speeding towards them.
"Raise the shields", cried Krijy! "Death, Budge, go to battle stations".
"What good will that do!", cried Death, "All we have is a simple machine gun, and the maians have lasers!".
"We can try our best", said Budge, "After all, they don't call me the best shooter in the fleet for nothing". They ran to the gun and started preparing it.
Suddenly the squadron was upon them. They swooped out of nowhere and caused the ship to shake tremendously. The shields were beginning to fail, and the controls weren't functioning properly. The squadron came back for another attack. This time though, Budge was ready. "DIE YOU STUPID MAIANS" Raaatttttaattttaat.
His shots had no effect. He kept on firing, but the maians seemed to have some sort of supersheild. Budge cursed, and suddenly flew across the room as the ship turned sharply.
"Captain", cried Bill, "I've worked out a way to destroy the squadron. I'll fly near to the nearby black hole, and lure them towards it!"
"Have you gone out of your mind!!" screamed Krijy, "The moment we go near that thing our ship will malfunction!"
"Not if we don't go close enough. The maian ships are lighter than ours and should malfunction further away from the hole. Then, if we time it right we can escape before our ship malfunctions, and the maians we get sucked in."
"What is the chance of you doing this?"
"Only about a 10% chance, but what other options do we have?"
General Ømå had detected the Skedar ship from afar. His squadron had attacked it once but where waiting for the chance of another attack. He decided to wait for the Skedar to stop firing their useless bullets at them. Suddenly the ship turned in another direction. They sped after it and by this time the Skedar had stopped firing.
"Cease fire. This ones mine!" said Ømå. Onboard his ship; he had the newest state of the art weapon, the Photon depression laser! Now was his chance to use it! He loaded it up and aimed at the Skedar. Three...Two...One...Suddenly the ship malfunctioned. Total control was lost, and Ømå look out of the window at the black hole that was slowly sucking them in. He screamed, but no one could hear him. After a long wait the five ships finally got sucked through the hole, and crushed to the size of an atom.
Aboard the Skedar ship, Krijy, Bill, Death, Sultry, Budge, and Syric rejoiced. They watched the maian's hopeless efforts to escape from the black hole, and laughed at them. Bill became cautious. "Um...Krijy, I think I might have miscalculated the flight a tiny bit" The lights flickered out and there was no more laughing. "You idiot", everyone screamed. "Don't worry, the lights will come back on in ten seconds." Ten seconds came and ten seconds went. Just when they thought they were doomed, the lights came back on.
"Continue the course to the planet. We should get there by tomorrow", said Krijy.
