Well here it is chapter 13! Sorry for the delay but with the reviews I got I was a little unsure of how to proceed however here we go. Again it is a little short but I believe it will open up a few more cans of worms.

Enjoy

Chapter 13: True colors

By the time they made it to the control room Serenity needed to sit down. "Well, we're here if you want to contact your ship we can start making arrangements for the treaty."

Kristiano smirked, "Of course," he bowed and turned to the control panel and began speaking in his native tongue, I have her teleport us to the ship, We can deal with her there.

Congratulations , private. I must ask though how you got her so easily?

She is as forgiving and trusting as the legends say. She believes I am opening communications to form a treaty. Serenity says she has a new home for us even after we have been attacking them for months. Hahahaha

I will tell her that you want to do the negotiations on the ship and that we will be teleported there shortly.

We will start getting the locks, good work. Over and out.

Over and out, captain. Kristiano turned back to Serenity, "The Captain would rather do it in person and so will be shortly teleporting us back to the ship."

"I don't think that would be wise, Kristiano. We don't know what that would do to me in my condition, the doctors say that because it is an interplanetary pregnancy that there is currently no way to properly figure a date. I could go into labour today." Serenity said getting nervous over this change in events. "Couldn't he come here?"

"We couldn't leave the ship without leadership that leads to mutiny." Kristiano said shocked at the suggestion. Just as he finished his reply both were in cased in pillars of water and disappeared from the control room.

When Serenity next opened her eyes she was in a cave like cell with only one other Naga who was offering a hand to help her off the floor. "Stay away from me!"

"Majesty, I am meaning no harm I only mean to help you up. Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Kristiano."

At the name she backed up further in her current state added to her condition she could do no more than crawl into close to the wall and shiver in fear. "That is who got me put in this predicament. AHHHH!" Serenity called out as she grabbed her stomach. "No, not here, not now! Please baby wait till we are safe and your father can be there."

"My Lord, did they know you were with child?" Kristiano gasped in shock.

"Anyone with eyes would know I was with child." Serenity said rubbing her stomach and trying to calm her breathing.

"I will kill my brother for his arrogance…"

"Your brother?"

"Yes, forgive me your majesty. See I was supposed to be the one sent to get you, but I am more honourable then my superiors. I came up with an idea to explain what happened and ask you to help us if you could, form a treaty. My superiors thought that was great; they could capture you willingly. I told them that that was not my intentions and I refused to go through with it so they sent my brother, Kilowave, instead and so I couldn't interfere put me in this cell."

"I don't care who you are or what your motives. Right now, all I care about are my people, my husband, and delivering my child into freedom. The Crystal can teleport me home but I don't know if I will be able to find help if I can even get there."

"You haven't got the Crystal with you they searched you four times just to be sure."

Serenity smirked, "Then they know nothing of the Crystal or my lineage." With that she carefully got to her feet. "Oh, and tell your superiors that they had their chance. If I must I will banish you all out of my solar system for what you have put my family and friends through."

"Majesty, please I beg of you at least allow me to come with you to ensure that you can get to the healers to safely deliver you child. If after that you still wish to punish me with the rest of my race then so be it. But enable me to at least right the wrong of my brethren, as much as you will allow."

Serenity almost collapsed the process of the coming delivery was weakening her and she wasn't sure she could even make it back to the sun. Accepting help, even that of a potential enemy was better than none. Either way death was knocking at her door. Finally she resigned to accept his aid and nodded.

"I will need assistance from you." He nodded. "You will die just as I if we don't make it to a planet or moon. So you must focus on lending me your energy, because my energy levels are dropping the further along I get."

Kristiano nodded, "I understand." Even as he said the words she felt his energy joining with her own and so she turned her attention to the task at hand. Summoning the crystal and focusing on teleporting the two of them back to the sun.
