Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.
The Rescue of Vaoja
As Jack entered the bridge of the Galra ship he saw Vaoja, comely Vaoja, in chains. The new Galra Commander, a large fellow who brought the giant Antaeus to mind, was standing nearby with a club in hand.
"So… The strange creature that no one has ever seen before has come to the rescue of the natives." Mused the Galra Antaeus. "I noticed how you and this damsel spoke… You admire this one don't you, alien?"
Jack drew his sword and held it aloft. "She is worth dying for."
"Worth dying a third time?" asked the Galra Antaeus. "Worth dying a final time?"
"What makes you think you can kill me permanently?" returned Jack, gripping his sword tightly.
"Nothing more than the fact that I have never failed to kill an opponent." Stated the Galra Antaeus.
"Have you ever been defeated?"
"Never."
"First time for everything." Jack gestured for his adversary to come at me and sure enough the Galra Antaeus charged. Jack charged as well then slid down between the legs of the Galra Antaeus and he brought up his sword. So died the Galra Antaeus anti-climatically.
The Galra officers on the bridge all gave a salute to Jack as he unchained Vaoja. Once she was unchained, one of them said: "You are strong and brave, sir… Though I'd wager the bravery may have come from not knowing how many times you can die."
"Aye, you'd be winning that one." Agreed Jack. He then turned his attention to Vaoja. "Are you alright, Vaoja?"
"I'm fine, Jack." She said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Smiling, Jack then looked to the Galra officer. "You will free the other captives."
"We will although we fear what our emperor will do when he learns of this. We may suffer just as you might."
