Chapter 11
The evening rose faster than Marvin had imagined it would. He was having so much fun talking to Venna, he had lost track of time. Approaching a Venusian landmark, Venna and he sat down on a stone.
"It's the Venusian Drop Off", she introduced taking her crown off, "that feels better." Marvin laughed to himself as she rustled her hair down with a relaxed expression on her face.
"Why is it called the Venusian Drop Off?" Marvin couldn't help himself, he loved the way she explained things to him. Venna leaned back on the rock as she bit her lip.
"My mother took me here when I was little", she began, "she told me that the Light shines the brightest from this spot. I guess, it's supposed to be a perfect view, or something." Marvin starred out toward the emerald green atmosphere in pure delight. He wanted so bad to stay on this planet forever. It was everything that he had wished for as a child.
"I noticed it shined last night", he pointed out to her, "when does it usually show?"
"Sometimes the force of it may be happy, sad, and I've heard it can be a warning", she clarified smiling down toward her guest.
"I think it's wonderful", Marvin couldn't help but say; "I was always intrigued with your planet as a Marshling." Venna chuckled to herself.
"I'm glad you're having fun", she patted his shoulder.
The two took another long stare toward the sky before them. Marvin again spotted his planet within the green clouds above them. He gave a short sigh with a thought of Martin, as Venna rose up from her seat.
"Funny", she pointed out toward the horizon, "it's changing." Marvin gave a good look from the cliff as he witnessed the emerald green sky turn into a bright violet.
"You don't suppose it's happy, do you?" Marvin was growing concerned.
"I don't know", Venna swallowed hard, "we'd better get back to the palace."
"I'm with you on that one", Marvin spoke, as Venna hopped over the stone. Marvin still stood at his spot observing the weird behavior of the sky before him, when all at once he heard Venna scream.
"Venna?" Marvin crawled over the stone as he saw two Martian guards cuffing the woman's arms together.
"Wait!" Marvin yelled jumping on one of the guards. Before he could explain that Venna was not an enemy, he was lifted and squeezed.
"Bro!" Martin cut off his brother's explanation, "It's great to see you alive!"
"Let me go!" Marvin struggled to get free from his brother's grasp as Venna shouted in agony once more.
"I thought you were dead!" Martin cut off Marvin again as Venna was throne into the ship.
"Leave me alone!" the angered Martian kicked Martin against the rock.
"What's wrong?" Martin looked disappointed with open arms, "I thought you'd be happy to be rescued!"
"Just leave me alone!" Marvin bellowed in anger as Martin led him to the ship, "You have to let her go!"
"Um, no I can't!" Martin tried to explain, "I have orders from the Queen to have her in prison by nightfall."
Marvin grabbed his brother's neck in fury as he growled, "I said, let her go!"
"We'll have to clear this up when we get back to Mars", Martin sighed in exasperation, "maybe the queen will compromise. After all, she favors you."
Marvin let go of Martin's throat as he slumped into the passenger side of the space craft. He glared out toward the violet sky in fear; this may have made him un-worthy of the Light.
Immediately after they arrived on Mars, Martin escorted Marvin to a small dressing chamber, where he was stripped of his Venusian robes, and put into a gladiator skirt, helmet, and boots. The boots on his feet were painful, so he sneaked back on his tennis shoes for comfort.
"C'mon Marv!" Martin carried a huge smile on his face, "the Queen wants to see you!"
Marvin was led into the throne room by two Martian guards. Sitting upon her throne was the Queen, and she looked pleased to see him.
"Marvin Martian is it?" she asked in delight. Marvin lowered himself onto one knee as he nodded his head toward her request. "You've been called here to be honored for your hard work and effort to become my High Commander."
"HIGH COMMANDER!?" Marvin sprang up from his spot in exasperation, "how did this happen? I've never even stepped foot into the Army, let alone become worthy of High Commander!"
"You've given me the Venusian Queen", she gave an evil chuckle as she observed her nails, "You've given me the one key to winning this war."
"What war?" Marvin lowered his voice meekly, as she smiled down upon him.
"The war to protect us from their evil force." She announced, "We've been working on it for years." Marvin's stomach dropped as he felt a cold sweat come over him. The Martian collapsed himself against his brother, who was glowing with pride next to him.
"Your call name will be Commander X-23", the Queen declared, "and you will be my right hand Martian for the war ahead of us."
"But why?" Marvin tried to not sound ungrateful, "why me? Martin's done so much more than me."
"Lieutenant X-11 has indeed served me well", the Queen gave a slight smile toward Martin, "but you know everything about that planet. You are my only hope to winning this twenty-one year battle."
"Twenty-one?" Marvin and Martin exchanged confused glares as Marvin began to breathe heavily.
"I'm twenty-two", Marvin whispered to himself. He felt like crying. Everything that he learned from Venna was going to occur. He was the adversary in the prediction. Martin gave a confused glare toward his brother as did the queen.
"I thought you would be happy about this", she knocked him out of his trance.
"Oh I am", Marvin stood back up, "I'm just over whelmed."
The Queen gave a smile toward her new high commander as she snapped her fingers.
"Bring in the prisoner!" she ordered as two Martian guards burst through the door with Venna. She had been stripped of her royal attire, and placed in a prisoner's uniform.
"Queen Venna is it?" the Queen of Mars strolled down toward her level.
"Yes", Venna choked out through sobs, "I am her."
"Venna", the Queen smirked with delight, "I want to introduce you to the man responsible for you're capture. He went though great obstacles to get you here, and is without a doubt my most loyal servant." Marvin's stomach dropped again. He couldn't stand to look at her face to face.
"Commander X-23, my High Commander", the Queen moved aside to reveal Marvin standing before her. Venna's eyes grew wide as her mouth fell open. Marvin turned away in shame; he couldn't reveal anything in front of his queen.
"Marvin?" Venna squeaked out with tears streaking down her pale face. Marvin couldn't respond. He glared up toward the ceiling again trying not to cry. Venna couldn't choke out another word. Her lip quivered as the Mars Queen chuckled loudly.
"Marvin?" she mocked, "you both were actually on a first name basis? You must be gullible enough to take him in as a friend only on the second day." Marvin sat himself on the stairs, still avoiding Venna. He wanted so bad to rip her of those chains, and take her back home, but he would be killed.
Martin on the other hand was observing Marvin's behavior. He hung his head in disappointment of himself. If he had known that Marvin and the queen were friends, he never would have led his solders to their spot. In fact he would have changed the time and coordinates just to avoid the both of them.
Venna gave another weep, as the Queen demanded that she be placed in prison.
"Oh and by the way", she gave another laugh, "tomorrow you will be escorted to our arena, where you will be our guest of honor!" Venna gasped in horror, as the Queen sat back in her throne in victory. Marvin spun around toward the woman as she laughed to herself. Venna was just sentenced to death, and Marvin had no clue on how to save her.
