Chapter Five-

Solis and B'arzz watched as Emiaj's ship flew toward space when an alarm sounded, and a missile flew toward it.

"NO!" the two screamed when the projectile hit the ship, causing it to explode.

"You didn't think we wouldn't notice your plan, did you?" the foreboding voice of the leader of the planet demanded.

The two brothers left turned and Solis got protectively in front of B'arzz.

"Killorar" Solis snarled, his voice laced with venom and hate.

"Don't give me that tone boy" Killorar snapped, "you know what happens to those who try to leave, his death is your fault. As punishment the two of you will take his place as the item traded."

"YOU CAN'T DO THAT! WE'RE LIVING CREATURES! YOU CAN'T SELLS US FOR YOUR OWN GAIN!" Solis yelled as he and B'arzz were dragged off by soldiers.

...

Solis and B'arzz were forced to kneel in front of the green Reach Ambassador. Solis growled and went to stand when one of the soldiers slammed the electrical staff under his ribs. The renegade Reach cried out and crashed to his knees.

"I like your spirit" the Ambassador grinned and stalked around the older of the two brothers until he was once again in front of him, "Take him to the Scarab Administering Lab"

"NO!" the Martian yelled and stood, he used his powers and levitated the soldiers before throwing them into a wall.

Solis's eyes widened and he quickly stood with his brother and the two fought the best they could. They were almost out the door when electricity ran through both of the them and they collapsed, unconscious.

Solis screamed as he awoke.

Pain like no other filled him as cold metal of the Scarabs exoskeleton dug into his back and spine. Freezing metal covered him and his mind went dark.

...

A familiar scream forced Solis back into the light.

His eyes widened when he saw a green Scarab attaching itself to B'arzz.

"NOO!" Solis screamed and broke the chains bounding him before running to the Scarab and B'arzz.

"Stop" Ambassador walked in, "if you remove it, you kill him"

Solis froze.

B'arzz was put On Mode.


Solis snapped awake with a gasp before calming his fast heart.

He sat up and wiped away the stray tears that were falling, but more took their place. He looked down.

"I'm sorry"
