On board the Ceres Magmus, Prakas said, "Ceres Magmus is not an area on Ceres. Ceres Magmus is the name of the ship that we're on. It's a ship that we found on Ceres when we did an operation there."

Julia heard that and said to herself, "Wait, he sounds like my dead brother. What is going on here?"

Prakas said, "I used to be a Human, Julia. You are slowly turning into a Fallen. You can feel it tearing you apart. Well, I was dead when they turned me into one."

Her Ghost heard that and Prakas said, "That's all that I remember actually. But I don't mind not remembering."

Julia heard that and then the pilot said, "We'll be arriving soon."

Prakas said, "Understood."

While they were flying to Ceres, Mara's group finished burying the deceased. Mara asked, "Where do we find her friend?"

The Traveler answered, "2 miles to the East. Take the East Gate."

Mara said, "Get everyone. Make sure we don't leave anyone behind. We're moving out."

Variks started howling and then everyone started to fall in line at the Tower and Vevkiks said, "We're going to need to find out what happened to Julia."

Obalziks said, "We might not want to make him remember the past."

Nikyr said, "I don't think he'll mind."

Variks said, "It doesn't matter, we need to know what happened to them."

Wavkeks said, "Well, she's definitely not normal. He must not be normal, either."

Mara said, "Well, it's time to move out."

Variks started speaking in the Fallen language and then everyone started cheering. Variks said, "They are ready."

Mara said, "Follow me."

Everyone nodded and then they took off to Julia's friends location. While they were running to her friends location, Julia's friend looked at the security footage and said, "The End of Days just left the planet. Meaning that they got what they wanted and dipped. I doubt that there are any survivors from the City. I feel bad for all of the people that Julia knew in the City."

He was eating some deer meat that he hunted earlier. He said, "It doesn't taste as good as when Julia cooks it. When are you coming back, Julia. Or are you already dead?"

20 minutes later, the alarm went off and then he looked at the monitor and saw people running toward his camp and grabbed his sniper rifle and aimed it at the entrance to his camp and then Mara said, "We are a friend of Julia Law. Do not shoot us."

Her friend heard that and then said, "She doesn't know anyone that looks like Fallen other than the people that abducted her a couple weeks ago."

Mara said, "We found her in Old Michigan. She was with us till she was summoned to Ceres."

He heard that and then said, "Ceres? Did you just say Ceres?"

Mara answered, "Yes."

He sighed and said, "Well, I guess that you guys aren't threats. Come on in."

They walked into his camp and then he said, "Sorry about that. I can't trust anyone these days. I'm just trying to survive. I've been outside of the city walls my entire life. Julia saved my life 5 years ago, when she was exiled from the City. How is the City anyway? You just came from there."

Variks answered, "Wiped out completely."

He said, "I see. As I thought. The End of Days never leave any survivors. They only take or kill. Never leave anyone alive. One might live till someone appears, but dies afterwards. Julia and I saw that happen. We tried to escape, but they were too fast. Like they were injected with some type of serum to make them stronger."

Variks said, "They use people's DNA to enhance their physical prowess."

He heard that and said, "That actually makes sense. You shouldn't go to Ceres. It's too heavily guarded."

Vevkiks asked, "What do you think that we should do?"

He answered, "Find a way to take out their leader, Ykralzaks."

Mara said, "Julia found a way to weaken him. He has holograms on every planet that he's raided. And we plan on shooting at the holograms till they stop the operation."

He heard that and said, "A Human link to a holographic form is quite rare to see these days. The last time that happened was 700+ years ago when the Fallen first came to the Sol System."

Obalziks asked, "Will you help us?"

He answered, "Yes. But there isn't a hologram on Ceres. Ykralzaks was never there. Only his mad scientist, Awigyk, the Forsaken. And Awigyk's second-in-command, Ritkor, Ravaging Shocker."

Variks asked, "Who is Ritkor?"

He answered, "He's a very strong Fallen known as a Jackal. He wields a sword that is always electrified. Electricity is always flickering around it. That is what stopped Julia on our way to the ship."

Vevkiks asked, "What are we going to do about that?"

He asked, "Were you not listening to me? We need to take out the small ones first. We must head to Pallas. A hologram will definitely be there."

Mara heard that and asked, "What else is in Pallas?"

He answered, "Phylan, Great Spirit. He's a former Psion known as Dhomoc, the Mechanic. Now he's a Dreg Commander. He must be eliminated."

Mara said, "I see. We defeat him, we get to the hologram."

He said, "Exactly. Oh yeah, I'm Uxoon Xohn. An Awoken like yourself, your majesty. It really has been a long time."

Mara heard that and said, "Your majesty."

Uxoon said, "Don't call me that. I haven't been a King in years. I wish that Julia was here. Her cooking is amazing. Mine sucks."

Mara laughed and then Uxoon said, "I have a big enough ship for all of your men. Follow me. We have a job to do. Something that Julia would love to accomplish. But she's not with us at the moment."

Julia used telepathy from her abilities as a Guardian saying, "Uxoon, it seems that you met the people that saved me. Take them wherever they need to go."

Uxoon heard that and then said, "With pleasure. What about you?"

Julia answered, "Well, I no longer have a voice. They took that away from me. They injected some type of serum inside of me to turn me into a Fallen, but I haven't yet. I need to do this. You kill Ykralzaks while I go out on my own journey."

Uxoon said, "Understood. Wait, you are using your Telepathy ability aren't you?"

Julia answered, "Yep. Good luck. We're the entire universe is counting on you guys. And I hope that my plan works."

Uxoon said, "So it was your idea this entire time."

Julia answered, "Yes. It's time for me to go. We just arrived. Peace out."

She ended the Telepathy with him and Uxoon smiled saying, "Julia will be staying in Ceres for awhile. So she's leaving us in charge of the assault on Ykralzaks."

Variks said, "Guardians."

Mara said, "They never change."

Wavkeks said, "Your majesty, one more question before we head out."

He asked, "What is it?"

Wavkeks asked, "Who is that?"

Everyone turned their heads toward the Fallen Dreg and Uxoon answered, "Oh, he's a Space Pirate from the End of Days. I captured him when he was trying to escape from the City. He won't speak, so I tortured him to near death."

Mara asked, "Did he speak?"

Uxoon answered, "Nope. They really are very loyal to their leader."

The Dreg opened his eyes and said, "You can't save her. Awigyk will be waiting for her as soon as she lands on Ceres."

Variks grunted and then Uxoon said, "A trap, huh? Sounds like her. Always not caring about anything. Walking into a battlefield like it was nothing."

The Dreg looked at him and then broke free and went to stab Mara, but Uxoon tossed a shocking knife right into his head and he collapsed. Everyone saw that and then Uxoon said, "We should get going. The ship is this way."

Mara said, "Let's go men."

Variks howled and then everyone charged forward and they all entered the ship one after the other and Uxoon closed the hatch and said, "Here we go. Pallas we go."

They started to fly toward Pallas to kill Phylan and hurt Ykralzaks even more.
