Chapter 14
The next morning the reeking sounds of the Martian Rallying siren screamed out amongst the Martian public. Every Martian in the Capital City was required to attend the large gathering in the Martian Arena. The arena was enormous. Monuments of past emperors and heroes surrounded the borders and walls of the outdoor building as if they were there for protection.
Marvin had just arrived at the royal balcony to see Martin twiddling his thumbs in a corner.
"Come here", Marvin hissed from behind the curtain door way, "I need to speak with you." Martin gave a perplexed stare at his brother. He shrugged his shoulders and proceeded behind the curtain.
"V-venusians have m-mind cont-trol", Marvin exclaimed to his tall associate in exasperation.
"You're lying", Martin folded his arms across his chest, "you're stuttering."
"I know", he admitted, "I thought maybe if you would think that, then it would be more convincing."
"Convincing to what?" Martin was growing concerned. Marvin took off his helmet as he wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.
"You're going to convince the Queen that Venna has me under control." Martin's eyes grew large, as he backed up against the stone wall.
"No", he demanded to his brother, "I am not gonna lie for you!"
"It's the only way", Marvin explained, "She'll charge me for treason if they catch me." Martin still shook his head in rejection.
"And if I get caught?"
"You won't!" Marvin smiled, "You're a excellent lire! You've been lying to me for a week on the whereabouts of Dad!"
"No!" Martin turned around, "and that's final." The lieutenant marched back through the curtain as Marvin shook his head. Before he could think anything else, the trumpets sounded off the Mars Anthem as everyone rose in the arena to greet their queen.
"My people", she announced in the utmost of happiness, "you have been summoned here to witness the victory of the Martian Empire on the war with Venus." The crowd chatted with each other in interest as they silenced once more.
"Bring out the prisoner!" the Queen demanded with a clenched fist. The crowd gasped in amazement as two Martian guards dragged in a worn Venusian Queen. They threw her on the ground as Marvin winced toward her cry.
"Queen Venna, you have been a threat of many planets, and the factor that you have been a threat to this planet doesn't place you in our great book as well", the Queen began as the crowd began cheering.
"That's not true", Venna choked out as she lifted her face from the sand, "we have done nothing wrong."
"Tell that to the Leptons, the Gildoos, and the Zephonies", the Queen began listing races that had been destroyed previously, "oh wait, YOU CAN'T CAN YOU!?" The crowd let out another cheer as Venna gazed from the Queen to Marvin.
"Help Me", was all that Marvin could read from her expression. Venna wasn't a murderer to Marvin. She was a beloved friend. Quickly the Martian gazed around the balcony for an idea. Bingo, sitting in Martin's left holster was a Nuronvexor 3000 Plasma Gun. It was the most powerful gun in the Martian handheld artillery.
"Okay, Okay", the Queen chuckled in glee toward the tears racing down Venna's face, "I will make you a deal." Venna and Marvin immediately glared toward the Queen as she began once more.
"You stop your planet's force from wiping out any other planets, and I may let you go."
Marvin's heart sank; he knew that Venna wouldn't be able to do this in a hundred years. He also knew that even though she would lie to be free, he probably wouldn't make it back to Venus. Mars would be destroyed anyway. Either way, both of them were doomed.
"So, do we have a deal?" Venna sighed heavily as she watched her tears fall in the dirt below her.
"I-I can't", she stammered, "I have no control over it."
"Very well", the Queen sat down as she propped her feet on the banister, "then you will face your penalty!" The crowd gave a huge cheer as the guards left the arena quickly.
"As I said you're majesty", she began as she was filing her nails, "you are our official guest of honor. As our guest of honor you are strictly", she added emphasis on the strict part, "required to test out a new Martian Empire project that is in the works."
"You see my father had this plan of invading Venus with REAL solders. If we did that, then we would loose half our population. Do you understand where I'm going?" Venna shook her head as Marvin glared over toward Martin.
"What is she talking about?" he asked as Martin glanced back.
"It's a project I've been helping on. It's a really good one, trust me!"
"When he died I promised him that I would take on the task of ridding the universe of your rotten race. However I did not want to loose population, so I came up with this." She gave a demanding glace over toward Martin.
"Lieutenant, when you are ready?"
Martin grasped a switch from his pocket as he pressed a large red button. Marvin peered over the banister as he beheld a fearful sight.
A four foot robot hovering two feet off the ground emerged into the arena. It was designed to look like a Martian guard, except for the two plasma blasters attached as arms, and a power core underneath it. The robot was painted the Martian United colors of Red, Orange and Green. Venna rose her head up from the dirt once more as she gasped in fright.
"May I present the future in armored technology for the planet Mars", the Queen announced, "the Centurian Project." The crowd screamed in amusement as the Queen gave a victorious stared down toward Venna. Marvin backed away from the banister as he grasped his brother's neck from behind with force.
"Hey watch it!" Martin shouted as he was pulled from the balcony. The Queen was having a blast, and didn't notice anything.
"How does that thing work?" the small Martian demanded out of Martin. Martin starred into the eyes of his brother. He didn't recognize him. This was indeed a different person from what he had grown up with. Cowering before his younger brother of four years, Martin hit his knees.
"The energy core is in the chest, if you blast it then the robot dies."
"Wonderful!" Marvin dragged him back onto the balcony as Martin gave a confident smile toward the queen below him.
