Enemy On Board

Angela slowly turned her head around and saw that King Goobot had stopped working. She began thinking about the feeling she had just had. The feeling of impending doom. The feeling that something was coming. King Goobot floated over to her and without a word spoken slowly gave her an iron pole. Angela took it and poised herself. She knew what was coming. Her crystals were blood red and she could see that King Goobot was very worried about something. And that something was coming to the left of them.

Meldar moved with the stealth of Pigmy Mgym. His eyes narrowed onto the back of the female that was facing him. In his hands was an iron pole that had a spike on one side. His mouth wore the crimson red of the ruby red rosie and he felt his neckhair prickle and stand up on end. He carefully crept up and with a wild yell, sent the pole into the soft flesh of Angela's back.

Angela fell onto the floor and King Goobot twirled around. Meldar raised the pole up again and tried, once again, to hit the girl on the floor. King Goobot flattened Meldar to the wall and with a scream he sent Meldar reeling in pain to the next room. Angela regained conciousness and without a moment to spare, she ran towards the fighting pair. With a quick movement of her shoulder, she sent a red light across the room. The light hit Meldar; squarely, and sent him to the wall were a bloody spot of red liquid left a spot on his head. He slumped to the floor and with a sputtered word, disappeared.

"You okay?" King Goobot asked.
"Yeah, you?" Angela said.
"I'm fine." King Goobot said. "Your bleeding."
"Where?" Angela whispered.
"On the back of your head." King Goobot said.

Meldar appeared suddenly, beside Vandanna. Vandanna screamed and with a hard, left handed punch, sent Meldar way across the floor. Meldar spat out blood and with a whispered word, fell in a heap onto the floor. Vandanna, ran over and scooped him up. She then placed him in his bed were he slept for three hours. She couldn't understand how such a strong fellow, such as he, could be harmed in such a way.

King Goobot leaned over Angela and examined her wound. She had just collapsed onto the ground saying that she would return soon. King Goobot feared that the blow that Meldar had strucken her with might have destroyed the only hope that he, and the entire universe had. He quickly soothed her brow and splashed some water on her face. She coughed up and shivered. That was all King Goobot needed. Angela was alive, but she was hurt badly. He knew he shouldn't of done it, but he did. He moved her slowly to the vacated bed that was on the far corner of the ship. After he set her down and making sure she was going to be fine, he left to go back to the controls.

"Where's Angela?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah, were is she?" Cindy repeated.
"She is sleeping." King Goobot said.
"That's good." Sheen said.
"Yes very." Carl agreed.

King Goobot really didn't like lying, but in this case he had no choice. He knew that Angela was the most famous person in the galaxy; and that if anything would have happened to her, he'd of been blamed. He knew what the world wanted, he knew the universe was counting on them. He knew that the whole solar system was waiting for a victory or a defeat. The universe was a waiting bomb. A bomb so precious that nothing could save them in the feat of fear, death and happiness. A bomb that could kill them all.

"What was all that banging down there anyways?" Sheen asked.
"Us two trying to fix the engine." King Goobot lied.
"I'm glad Angela had time to sleep." Nancella said.
"Yeah, with all this stuff going on, she couldn't get a wink of it." Boclar sighed.
"She has troubles sleeping?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, especially if she's nervous or excited." Nancella said.
"You forgot anxious." Boclar added.

Meldar woke up three hours later with a splitting headache. He felt that his head was swabbed in bandages. Vandanna saw him rise and went to him. Meldar swiftly swept her away, bu not before setting out an order to watch out for that ship. He closed his eyes so that only a small slit of blue could be seen and with a huge breath, raised from the bed. He was ready for battle. Even if the on he was about to fight, had the same thing he used.

Angela woke up four hours later knowing that her head, arms, legs and spine hurt like the devil. She wanted to scream, but she knew that screaming would only add to her pain. So she kept her mouth shut and slowly pushed herself up. She felt all of her muscles pop inside and she felt her head ache. She saw stars and without a word, drifted back into that endless sleep that endowed her for another four hours.

"Do you think she'll even wake up?" Sheen asked.
"She's been asleep for five hours." Nancella said.
"Five hours too long." Sheen said.
"Sheen." Cindy said. "Shut up."
"What did I do?" Sheen exclaimed.

Angela woke up to the sound of the bell ticking in her head. The pain was so gruesome, she had no chance but to let out the biggest moan she could muster. Her head screamed and she felt her legs buckle. She slowly rolled her hands about her temples to dull the pain. The only thought that occured in her head was that Meldar was alot stronger than she had anticipated. He seemed to of doubled his power. And that double power could really cause alot of trouble. Especially for her, since she was the one that was to fight him in the first place.

"Meldar, what now?" Vandanna asked.
"Anything on the radar?" Meldar hissed.
"Nothing of great importance." Vandanna
"Yet." Meldar sighed.
"What next?" Vandanna asked.
"Full throttle north." Meldar said.

Angela walked into the control room and sat down on one of the stools. Her head screamed and she felt like she was going to die. King Goobot and the others remained quiet. They all knew of the pain she was going through. It was all there, written plain as day, on her face. Angela nodded to King Goobot and she steered the ship to the northeast. Away and towards, at the same time, Meldar's signal.

"Keep a steady course." Angela said.
"Rodger." King Goobot replied.
"And will you stop saying that?" Angela exclaimed.
"Rodg...I mean okay." King Goobot said.

Angela looked at the screen. The signal was low and very steady. She feared, that they had missed their chance to catch up. The fear was beginning to set itself in her heart. Her eyes clouded with hate and fear. She felt her hair stand up. She felt her palms itch and she knew, that her rage was going to control her once again. And she knew, that this rage would save one day of troubles. And it would probably save her son, Meldar's life too.

How will her rage help her? Will she rescue the day or will she fail? That you all for your wonderful reviews. Their much loved and very much welcomed. I love you guys. Smiles
