Chapter 16
Ahead in their distance, Marvin and Venna could see the bright purple planet gleaming as though it were welcoming its queen home with open arms.
"You know if the queen finds out what I did, I may be banned from coming back", Marvin thought out loud. Venna's heart sank with anxiety. She blinked a few times surprised by her reaction toward Marvin's statement, and starred out toward the atmosphear. She couldn't understand why she was going though such an emotion over the statement that was just made. Her thoughts led her to believe she wanted to return to Venus, but her heart was leading her in another direction. She felt like taking the controls of the ship from Marvin and running far away so no one could find them.
"You've been quiet the entire time", Marvin broke her of her trance, "are you still shaken up?"
"No", she sighed, "I'm just thinking that's all."
"Don't worry", Marvin reassured her, "we're almost there."
Expecting a welcoming party, Marvin would soon be proven wrong when they would arrive.
"Guards" Dewin came charging onto the landing strip, "Seize him!" Before Venna could counteract against the order, Marvin was tackled by three Venusian guards. They cuffed him as they pressed his face against the pavement.
"Leave him alone!" Venna demanded as they let him go, "he's the one who rescued me!"
"But he's the cause of your kidnapping you're majesty", Dewin defended his orders, "we should reinstate the arena penalty JUST FOR HIM!"
"This is none of your concern Senator!" she shouted back.
"You're safety IS my concern!" Dewin screamed louder in anger, "He's not to be trusted!"
"He's a hero!" Venna got two inches in front of his face screaming like a banshee, "he saved my life! The ones responsible for my capture was a rescue party SEARCHING for him!"
There was a dead silence. Marvin lifted his head from the pavement as the guards followed Venna's orders.
"Escort the Commander to the palace to be cleaned up", Venna lowered her voice calmly, "he is to be rewarded for his heroic efforts." The guards took Marvin away as Venna spun back around toward Dewin.
"As for you", she was huffing in anger, "one more insult toward Marvin or one more insolent remark toward me, and I'll have you placed in custody. Is that clear Dewin!?" The short man didn't answer. Although he gave Venna a piercing stare.
"I said is that clear Dewin!?" she repeated in frustration.
"Yes!" the Senator answered between clenched teeth as he spun around, walking away.
About an hour later Marvin was escorted into the throne room by two guards. The room was decked out in purple as an audience of Venusians clapped toward his appearance. He made his way down a blue carpet as a glowing sight came before him. The Venusian anthem, a melody of the Forbidden Cave lyric, sounded off by trumpets. Marvin's eyes widened as Venna made her appearance in a white, lavender diamond studded gown. Her cape was of lavender chiffon as it treaded ten feet behind her. She wore her hair down in a large braid weaved with white ribbon, as a white gold crown with three large lavender diamonds laid upon her head. Marvin was speechless. He didn't know why, but he could feel his heart rate accelerate, as his hands begin sweating. He gave a large breath of air as he approached Venna, kneeling down on one knee.
"My people", Venna began announcing, "The past two days I was held captive on the planet Mars. I was kidnapped by a search party searching for the Martian that you see before you." Marvin gave a small shutter toward the memory of Venna being held captive. "However in my darkest hour, and in the face of death itself, this brave soul came to my aid. He has come many miles to attempt the rescue of his planet. According to the prophecy made by the Venusian Tablet, 'If he is worthy, he will live. If his sacrifice is in vain, all is lost.' Commander X-23 has indeed proven worthy of the Light." Marvin glared up to see Venna beaming down upon him. She looked like an angel.
"You may rise Commander."
Marvin stood up from his spot as Venna began speaking once more.
"As a token of my appreciation, you shall receive an award for your bravery. I would give you a metal, but I'm afraid that it would be found by your people. I don't want you in trouble for what you have done for me." She glared down toward his hand.
"If you would remove your cuff and glove?" she requested with a smile.
Marvin took off the piece of armor, as he did the glove.
"Hold out your hand?"
Marvin held out his palm as she began once more.
"I am bestowing upon you the Venusian Mark"
The crowd gasped. Dewin, who was in a corner observing, glared in disbelief.
"No outsider has ever received the Venusian Mark. It's a mark given to a person of worth. A person who has done something phenomenal. Saving my life is just that", Venna was still beaming.
Venna held her hand straight up as though she was about to high five Marvin. Marvin followed the move, as she placed her palm against his. Immediately Marvin could feel a cold sensation caressing his hand. The feeling soon moved into his arm, and further in his body. He looked to see his hand was a glowing purple, as was Venna's. She gave a smile as Marvin laced his fingers with hers. The crowd glared at each other in surprise toward the gesture, as Venna gave a blushing grin toward her friend. Even Dewin was starring at the gesture Marvin had made. He crossed his arms as he gave an agitated growl toward the two, leaning up against a pillar. Venna let go, as the sensation moved back into Marvin's hand. The glow left as Marvin turned his hand over. Imprinted upon his palm was a purple symbol of a moon and planet. The moon was crescent, and the plant stood upon the top point of the moon.
"This will be your ticket into the light", Venna whispered, "You're ready."
