Chapter 5

Tak's Dream

Tak was slipping into her subconscious (for Irkens it's know as the Memory storage bank) She looked about her newest memories and thought about the new Irken enemy that she had encountered. "Who is this guy?" she asked herself, "how does he know me...Hell how did he know Black and me were dating?"

Black

She sighed as she began to think about him. She met him during the Bloodsports, he was a resident on planet Dirt on the other side of it, on the freezing quadrant, the Bloodsports was an official game for low-esteem Irkens who wanted a chance to murder each other and be something, truth is it was only for the Tallest's pleasure. Each team represented one planet, Raymond, Tak, and Black were all on the same team, but they always scattered them to make them more vulnerable in the start. It was after the first living thing that Tak killed that she found Black. She was starving, and bleeding severely and needed his assistance. He was more then happy to give it.

Together planet Dirt won the Bloodsports, and got to automatically be Invaders, but no instead of choosing to separate Black decided to stay with Tak who both of the, became a squad leader to train other Irkens. Don't get her wrong, Squad leader is really fun and exciting, but being an Invader tested your skills or science, acting, culture, as well as stealth, she guesses its more hardcore to sneak up to the heart of a civilization, and stick the dagger right into it.

But with Black...she felt serenity...peace in the violence she surrounded herself in, but all at that she woke up but knew instantly she wasn't really awake.

Tak sat up drenched in sweat from her nightmare, looking out the window at the giant Irken city she felt a little at ease. Then the knocking at her door caught her attention. "Hey Tak," she smiled happily opening the door for Black who had a big box on his hands. "Sorry I came home late," he shut the door, "I had a fight with some Irken rebel wannabes, wrote graffiti on the Tallest's building." Tak giggled, "Oh Black...the hero!" They both then laughed as he sat down on the bed with the box, he handed her a fork and got one for himself, opening the box inside there was a pink cake with 3 yellow candles, 1 red candle, and 7 blue candles. "I've coded the candles to match planet Dirt's Irken number:317.

Tak smiled as she was about to take a slice, "Um not yet Tak...not until we make a wish." She grinned wider, "WE make a wish?" he nodded grinning back, "Its our cake." She then thought a bit and nodded, "I can see that.

They both kneeled on each side.

"Ready?"

"Never better,"

They then both blew the candles out and met for a kiss above them, smoke wafted around their faces as the flames died out. Then Black separated, "So...what did you wish for?" Tak shook her finger, "I can't tell, it would ruin it." Black's shoulders slumped, "Please? I promise ill tell you mine, again its our cake." Tak grinned, "OK...deal," she leaned back, "I wished that one day...we would be free." Black's eyes widened with interest, "What do you mean?"

Tak sighed once more laying on her side, "Well...its just that we are you know badass Irken squad leaders...its just when I'm around you I don't completely feel the need to move forward, so finding a place to settle down and relax," she grinned leaning back up, "Your turn now, pay up!"

Black leaned back, "Your not gonna like it to much..well I wished that we were on separate planets in the Bloodsports," Tak's smile dropped, "W-What?" Black looked at her concerned, "Don't take it the way Tak...it's just I want to have a professional relationship now you know? But I do love you but at times I feel you might slow me down...its just that-" Tak was choking back tears, "P-Please d-don't leave me...I-I have skill just like you!" Black shook his head, "Look I know you trained yourself to the bone on Dirt, but I was actually learning from a real teacher, you made your moves up." Tak's face was flooded with tears, "Please! I beg you! Teach me! I'll learn whatever you throw at me. Just don't leave me!"

Blacked looked at the sobbing Tak, "Are you alright?" she looked up and nodded yeah...its just...its just I had a nightmare before you came in, you were shot dead by a Meekrob and you fell in such a way...please just don't."

Tak hugged Black closely and Black hugged back, "I promise I won't leave you...even if I die I'll find a way back to you...I promise." Tak moved back and smiled, some tears were still her her eye as she took out some drinks she had under her bed, some Irken wine. "Cheers," she said as they clanged their cups together, "To surviving the Bloodsports," Black finished.
