Divine Emperor Chapter 2 - Kharaa's PoV
The gigantic shadow of the human vessel loomed over the ocean, as two ships deployed floatation devices and aimed landing towards the Dead Zone.
'What? HOW AND WHY?' Algelina shouted in sound waves recognized as telepathy to the emperors.
'Why do you return?' Kharaa reached out to the humans on the ship.
No answer. Humans must not be telepathetic.
The ships land in the Dead Zone with a splash that sent water up at near escape velocity.
'Does Kheron affect humans?' Risor asked.
'A hundred times more potent' Kharaa replied. 'But humans can't harm us anyways.'
Kharaa launched over the Safe Shallows into the Kelp Zone, still going at a fast speed to the Dead Zone. A small ship that looked like one that layed on the ocean floor near the human base ruins was nearing.
The moment the occupants saw Kharaa, they activated some kind of shield.
'I mean no harm,' Kharaa said to the humans. Then, a human exited the small ship and approached her.
A sensation of familiarity shot through Kharaa. No way. This was the human who got stranded here a year ago according to a few of mothers last words.
Kharaa trilled in greeting to the human. The human then got out some kind of device. The device suddenly shot a beam of light at Kharaa. She immediately lifted her mantis like arms and reared her head in surprise. Lowering her head, she blew water at high pressure, launching the human back.
That was when the small ship launched a projectile that stung. Kharaa launches forward, spreading her arms. When she was within reach, she slammed the tips of her arms into the small ship, and ripping it apart. It exploded in a blue flame and the human bodies drifted down. The only survivor was the familiar one.
He ran in fear.
'They provoked me,' Kharaa told him. But that did not suffice.
