Author's note: In this Chapter I have included my invented language called Analong which is spoken on Mondernor in my story. If you want to see the translations look at the bottom.

Battle in the Orodon Nebula

"Balendwe twethno entorél gathdin gwafthé1," said an Adamast spacer in the Mondernorian language to his captain that stood on the stern staring into his kaleidoscope. The Captain saw on his kaleidoscope the other Battle ships surrounding his ship. It was the Adamast armada which he was to command. He and his fleet were going to retake the Orodon Nebula from Montressor with a fleet of six hundred battle ships. Captain was searching for any ships in the vicinity that he might attack to provoke a battle. The purple haze of the Nebula made all the other ships fuzzy,

"Agothés2" answered the captain. He gazed into the piece when suddenly an outline of a ship began to appear from the haze. The captain focused the kaleidoscope to the object. The captain saw a large Clipper ship headed his way. He saw the Montressor flag waving on top of the main mass,

"RLS Endeavor,"

A wide grin began to appear on the captain's face as he turned his attention away from the kaleidoscope towards his first captain,

"Dorogento!3"

Jim lay on his bed sleeping after two hours of work. The room began to darken and turn purples as the ship flew through the Orodon Nebula. Abruptly a loud thud came from the outside shaking the ship which made Jim wake up with a start. Then another thud came making the whole ship rocked forward. Jim jumped out of bed putting his Jacket on and race towards the door. When he opened it he saw B.E.N. Rushing into the room screaming,

"B.E.N. what's happening?" asked Jim,

"Ships...lots of ships... attacking the Endeavor," B.E.N answered nervously,

"Who, what ships?" asked Jim panic stricken. Suddenly the walls of his quarters exploded creating an ugly hole that revealed the purple haze of the Nebula. Jim ran out the hallway when several crewmen ran out of their rooms towards the deck. Jim followed them. When he reached the deck it was all in a chaos. The masses were all inflame and the floor was littered with cadavers and debris. Jim suddenly several ships out in front of the stern, on their masses waved the flag of Mondernor,

"The Adamast spacers!" said Jim to himself. The Adamast spacers were the most feared and powerful elite force in the Etherium.

"All hands to the long boats," screamed Amelia as she disappeared through a hatch. Adamast ships began closing in as Jim raced towards the hatch when all of a sudden Henry Aggoferd appeared right in front of Jim. He was holding a pistol aimed directly at Jim's head.

Jim stood their dumbfounded as he stared at Henry, "Henry what in the stars are you doing?!"

"James Pleiades Hawkins," said Henry in a slow tone as his gazed fixed upon Jim, "how do I break this to you, I work for Captain Athinel," Jim shook at the sound of the name, "What?!"

"Jim, the old days has long passed away, the power of the Etherium Worlds is failing. It is time for a new power to rise and conquer the Etherium," said Henry with his gazed still fixed upon Jim, "the power of the Omniscient one has come, join with us James alongside Athinel and our Master who we call the Omniscient one, we shall rule the Galaxy," the heat suddenly intensified as Henry's eyes began to light up with fire.

Jim's adrenaline began to rise as he shot forward grapping the gun from Henry before Henry could shot, Jim fell to the ground with the pistol in his hand as the aimed upward,

"I will never join the Omniscient one," the bullet hit a burning wooden plank that hung above Henry. The plank dropped down squashing Henry as the last of his scream reverberated over the sounds of gunfire and burning flame. Jim and B.E.N. ran towards the hatched to the long boats. Balls of fire soared through the air as the long boats raced away from the battle scene.

Jim and B.E.N reached the place where the long boats were. There was only one left. Jim Jumped into the boat and pulled the trigger that released it. Several thuds shook the ship causing one of the lines that held the boat to break. Jim's boat fell only a half a meter down. It hung on its last three ropes. Jim was knocked down on his back grasping the sides of the boat.

B.E.N. peered over head screaming, "Jimmy, are you all right?" Jim sat upright and shouted back at B.E.N, "Get down here now!" B.E.N immediately jumped down to the boat as Jim worked at the controls. The boat was released from the ropes and it began to speed through the air as laser beams began to drum the boat's sides. B.E.N. looked back at the burning Endeavor that floated dead in space surrounded by Mondernor battleships. B.E.N looked back at Jim with a nervous tone, "Jim, are we going to go back to Montressor?"

Jim's attention was focused on driving the ship. Jim answered B.E.N. with a tone of gravity, "No B.E.N. were are continuing on to Aprixae IV,"

"You are not serious Jim, Athinel will be there,"

"I know B.E.N. I have to finish something he has just started," said Jim immediately thinking about what Henry had said. The power of the Omniscient one has come. The question was who was the omniscient one? Jim thought as the silhouette of Aprixae IV appeared in the distance.
