Chapter 17
Venna made sure that Marvin's ship was stocked for the journey ahead of him. Before the small Martian left the planet, Venna brought him aside.
"I want to thank you again", she smiled.
"It was nothing", Marvin returned the grin, "I knew you were innocent." He turned to leave for his ship as Venna grasped his arm.
"Don't take off that glove for anyone", she requested, "I just can't bare to loose you."
Marvin stood perplexed toward Venna's statement. She did too, as she covered her mouth in amazement. Marvin glared around the area for people watching. Quickly he leaned toward Venna as he gave her a small peck on the cheek.
"I'll be back as soon as I can" he assured her, "if I don't return back home, Martin's going to get in trouble, and I don't want anything to happen to him."
"I understand", she smiled amazed by the gesture; "I'll see you then!" Marvin gave a small smile as he raced back to his ship.
As Marvin was flying home, he caught sight of Mars.
"What the?" he gasped in fright as he beheld a fearful sight.
Mars was glowing both red and purple. It appeared to be covered only two thirds red. Marvin's stomach turned. The Light was already beginning to set is toll on the planet.
Marvin soon arrived back home to be welcomed by the Queen and Martin.
"The Queen's been worried sick", Martin gave his brother a hug as he whispered to him, "I suggest you fake a headache."
"Oh my head", Marvin gave a groan as he stumbled over toward the Queen of Mars.
"What did she do to you?" the Queen was in a frenzy to get Marvin medical attention, "did they hurt you at all?"
"I d-don't remem-ember a-anything", Marvin was beginning to stutter from his fib. Martin's eyes widened in fear toward Marvin's lack of lying skills. However, the Queen shrugged it off as a side affect from the mind control and had Marvin escorted to a guest room in the palace.
Later that day Marvin and Martin were called to the throne room. Sitting upon her throne was the Queen, as usual. She was surrounded by two Martian Guards, and two Centurian robots. However, what was different was the visitor at the bottom of the throne stairs. Marvin joined his queen next to the throne, as did Martin.
"Now that everyone is here, we shall begin", the Queen announced. She looked down toward her company as she began.
"You have served me well stranger. You're quadrants on the whereabouts of Queen Venna were precise. Yet, why do you return. More news perhaps?"
Marvin starred wide eyed toward the being. This was the person that gave away Venna's whereabouts. The being wore a dark blue hooded cape, with gold trim. He was stout, and held a crooked smile underneath the garment. There was a darkened presents about him. Marvin got cold chills from even thinking about him.
"There's a traitor within your council", the being spoke in a grungy voice, "I just wanted you to know that before it was too late."
"A traitor?" the Queen's eyes widened in disbelief. Marvin began to breathe heavily as he exchanged fearful glances with his brother.
"This traitor has been a beloved friend toward the Queen of Venus ever since he stepped foot on her planet!"
"Out with it!" she demanded, "Who is the traitor."
"Why, you're majesty?" the being smiled, "you must be blind! The person stands before you in a cold sweat!" She gave a confused face.
"You're Commander", the being smiled devilishly as the Queen straightened her self up, and giving a piercing glance toward Marvin.
"He lies!" Marvin defended himself, sweating hard and pointing, "he has no proof!"
"How am I to know this is true?" the Queen turned toward the strange being, "do you have proof that my Commander is in league with the Venusian Empire?"
"I'm an eye witness", the man spoke loudly, "I have been watching the two closely, and if I may add? They are VERY close indeed."
Anger was swelling up in Marvin. Martin gave a worried look to his brother. He needed an answer from Marvin quick. What was he supposed to do now? Marvin starred toward the being as he clenched his marked fist in fury. He wanted so bad to pounce onto the stranger. Yet, he also wanted to leave the room before the Queen would find out anything else about him.
"That's not enough proof, sir", the Queen announced, "I never go by hearsay."
"If you are so sure Commander", the person smiled toward Marvin, "then show her your hand." Immediately the Queen spun around toward Marvin in interest.
Thought after thought was racing though Marvin's mind. How was he going to get out of this mess? Still Martin gave his brother a searching glare as Marvin returned the same. He was stuck. Marvin didn't know what to do now. Panting very hard and sweating, the Martian took off one of his cuffs, and the glove after.
"What's supposed to be on his hand?" The Queen eagerly questioned, "I see nothing!"
"It's not on that hand, that's why", the smile disappeared from the strangers face as he returned a piercing scowl toward the Martian before him.
Marvin closed his eyes searching for a solution. Not even a bolt of Light could help him now. Reluctantly the Martian took off his last cuff, and took off the last of his gloves. The Queen and Martin gasped to see the purple marking upon Marvin's hand.
"Traitor!" she accused through clenched teeth, "and how long has this been happening!?"
Marvin couldn't lie anymore. He starred daggers toward the stranger as he moved the glance toward the Queen.
"For five days now", he confessed in a low voice, "but if you would let me explain?"
"You've explained enough", the Queen spoke calm in anger, "Commander, I am stripping you of your rank, and am placing you under arrest." She turned toward Martin.
"And you, for being an accomplice in this serious offence, I am stripping you too of your rank and am placing you under arrest as well." She turned toward her guards.
"Get them out of my face!"
The guards snatched up the brothers as they escorted them out of the throne room. Before Marvin left, he glanced back toward the stranger, who was cackling wildly under his blue and gold hooded cape.
