Chapter 2: Into The Cosmos
Starrk and Zetsu made it to Al Karid at the Monastery.
The Varrock Guard was not there.
"I bet he wasn't going to do it." The black half of Zetsu said.
"Damn it." Starrk said.
They both walked up and knocked.
One of the Nuns opened the door looking at them.
"You are here for Levi are you." She asked.
"You heard the news what's going on?" Starrk asked.
She nodded.
"Hellos Starrks!" Mr. Hoshigaki called out running up to both of them.
"Mr. Hoshigaki, what are you doing here?" The white half of Zetsu asked.
"I was tolds to come heres from ones of the guards. Tooks the only airship lefts to Al Karid. Everythings is goings crazy!" Mr. Hoshigaki said and caught his breath.
A Nun came out with baby Levi and handed her to Starrk who held her.
"Zetsu, head back to the others." Starrk said.
"Waits, take mes too." Mr. Hoshigaki said.
"Is that wise?" The black half of Zetsu asked.
"I needs to sees my sons!" Mr. Hoshigaki pleaded.
"Alright hang on to us." The black half of Zetsu said.
"Zetsu, Mr. Hoshigaki. Be safe please." Starrk said.
"You too." The white half of Zetsu said.
They waved to one another and Zetsu teleported into the ground.
Starrk wrapped up Levi's face and ran toward the east of the Desert to the nearby crowd seen off in the distance.
"That's where it is I bet." Starrk said to himself.
Baby Levi was crying.
"It's okay, I got you kid." Starrk told her.
Starrk approached the crowd and seen people were fighting to board the spacecraft which had three Chiss already in it and one of them having a crossbow aimed at the crowd and was waiting.
"People, we are only bringing in children and parents!" The Chiss female said.
"Take me!" A giant troll shouted.
"You are too big!" The Chiss female yelled at him.
Children and parents were being brought in after showing identification.
Starrk walked up and looked at the baby.
"Excuse me, help me and my daughter please!" Starrk shouted and lied that it was his daughter.
"Come on in." The Chiss female said helping him in.
"We are full." The Chiss female said.
Starrk noticed an Au Ra female in front of him which was Nanama who knows his leader but he doesn't know her nor her knowing him and she had three baby Au Ra's with her.
"How old?" Starrk asked to make conversation while they waited.
"Two months." Nanama said.
"The father?" Starrk asked.
"Deceased." Nanama told him with a sad look.
"I'm sorry to hear that." Starrk said.
"What about you?" Nanama asked.
"Single." Starrk said.
Nanama nodded to his baby.
"She's such an angel." Nanama said.
Levi was already asleep.
Starrk smiled and gently rocked her.
"Yeah, she is." Starrk said.
Suddenly they felt a quake and seen lava pouring out of the sand very close to them.
"Oh fuck we need to go now!" The Chiss female shouted to the Chiss pilot.
"We still have room for two other people!" Another Chiss called out.
The Chiss female brought in another Au Ra who was five months pregnant. The Au Ra was a red-haired white-scaled Au Ra that also knew Aizen named Tae and again Starrk didn't know who she was and she didn't know who Starrk was.
"Tae, you are safe." Nanama said and both hugged.
"Friend of yours?" Starrk asked.
Tae blushed.
"Almost lovers after her husband died." Tae softly said.
Starrk gave a smile and nod.
"We need to bring in some random person, the lava is getting closer." The pilot said.
"Excuse me, may I?" A man with green hair and glasses said while holding a fishing rod.
They suddenly felt another quake and more lava came up but this time under the crowd's feet and burned them alive.
"Yes yes come on in, hurry!" The female Chiss said pulling him in.
The green-haired man with glasses sat down beside Stork and gave a nod and then smiled looking at the baby.
"Your friend's journey is almost over." The man said to Starrk and laid back to relax.
Starrk was about to question what he meant until there was a rumble as the engines sparked to life.
"It's working!" The pilot shouted.
"Why aren't we lifting?" A Chiss male asked putting his weapon up.
"We need extra power of sorts! Is anyone here a wizard or mage!?" The pilot yelled out.
No one answered.
Starrk opened the pouch holding up the sunstone.
"Can this work?" Starrk asked.
"Yes!" The pilot shouted.
The male Chiss walked up taking it and placing it in the power-hold which really sparked the old vessel to life and lifting it off the ground and up into space.
"Yes!" The pilot shouted cheering.
Everyone else was cheering and clapping for Starrk.
"Thank you so much." Tae said to him.
Nanama gave him a nod.
Starrk just smirked and laid back to rest while baby Levi rested with him.
The green-haired man beside him smiled and spoke softly to himself.
"Their journey is almost over." The green-haired man said and laid back to rest as well.
The male and female Chiss walked around to make sure everyone was safe and needed water or food that was stored in the back of the ship.
The pilot noticed the moon cracking apart and lava pouring out of certain spots.
"What the hell is going on?" The pilot thought to himself.
The ship headed further out into space flying passed the moon and he looked at an old star chart that the astrologians made that described a few planets that might contain life that was nearby in their sector of space.
Meanwhile, at the Lost Grove, the group made it up to the front of Alexander and noticed the entrance opened.
"Karura must be here." Kisame said.
"Which means we all must prepare ourselves." Aizen said.
Zetsu teleported from the ground with Mr. Hoshigaki with him.
Mr. Hoshigaki looked up at the massive machine that reached passed the clouds.
"Holys Shits." Mr. Hoshigaki said.
"Holys Shits indeed." Deidara mimicked.
