Chapter 59

Giha in Sevaeric hands

"So, when is your next plan after we find this Giha Velur that Rasfa spoke of?" She asked me.

"Well, we retake, of course." I quickly said, while walking side to side of here, with Sernos looking straight at me. "Maybe this will end the Sevaeric empire once and for all."

The climb down the mountain was almost breathtaking, taken away by the gusts of wind blowing cold air everywhere. The thought that my mind was going through some blocks was terrifying, preventing me from doing what Rasfa demanded. Who knows? Crohnti might still be alive within Giha, and if this succeeds we can all live in harmony like now.

Somehow, Elise still stuck out in the night, shining like the sun itself and making so that I could not see her eyes when my eyes land upon hers. Sernos, who was riding on her back was shivering intensely, as he tried to wrap himself like a cover trying to get at least warm somewhere. His wings were almost the size of his body, except that it was very flat like usual. His breathing became abnormal, as he began waking up and tightly holding Elise's neck. She could feel it too, while she began speeding up because of the child.

Ever since Desto was dropped into the imminent volcano, it immediately let off some kind of effect, somehow making me go a bit slower, but still nothing to be worried about. The wind got a bit more intense with each passing hour, until it got to the point where icicles would hang down from the top of the caves. The night sky reminded me of the dimension that Equinox made, which was really just hated, almost everyone wanted to destroy it, or wage war on it. Although, either way, it was good to see Coby and Roast once again after that dream.

We still were walking on the moist ground after the snow melted on the surface. Without warning, a sound of a machine was coming towards us, and sirens sounded while in the west it looked like red, blue and white were flickering all in order. My ears could hear multiple, and the revving of engines, which meant something had to be going on. We began to pick up our pace, wanting to get out of the area as quickly as possible, but not run to avoid getting suspicion on our heads. Lights began searching around the land, as the tanks appeared first as they got into sight. Some trees were knocked over by the sheer force the tanks were putting into their movement, as the came from all directions.

Attack helicopters and many kinds of spacecraft came into the space as well, supporting the ground units. The centering of the ambush were all pointed towards me, assuming that I probably did not kill Desto and he is resistant to magma as well. Sernos was getting jumpy, as each beat of the helicopter's blades made him shake vigorously. Wind was blowing within every direction towards us, but then all of it suddenly changed from high to low, as the copters backed off of us, and hovered in a orderly fashion.

The spacecraft were a bit far behind from the helicopters, as the hovered in positions just in case I wanted to make a move that involves me getting right into the air to elude them. Soon another sound came from the sky, as a shattering crash was heard, almost like a nuke touched down and exploded. The engines were almost like earthquakes, rippling the ground and at the same time causing some ears to break.

"On the ground!" A speaker sounded out. "You are under arrest!"

I did not recall doing a crime to these people, because their vehicles were very different from the Sevaeric, almost from nowhere have I saw these machines before. Although, times do change. So these could be the Sevaeric, or just a certain group within the empire that has its own choices of design and weaponry. Lasers began pointing mainly at my head, as there were very heavily armored humans that climbed on the wing of the attack helicopters, and thought that they could shoot me and incapacitate. Never could they break any of my scales, not even huge bombs, so what makes them think they can now?

Then the cause of the constant earthquakes appeared, as a giant mothership came into the atmosphere, almost blocking out the whole sky. At least a two hundred thousand mile long ship, and seventy thousand mile width, with ten thousand more width with each wing, which would consider it a ninety thousand mile width in total. The height is still unknown, as it hovered over the space with a overwhelming dominance.

"We have the dragon responsible for his death, same one from last time." One of the communication devices said around one of the helicopters. "He can try, but he cannot break anything of this caliber."

"I like how you are getting so sure of yourselves, especially since I was the one who taken down the old capital of the Sevaeric a long time ago."

"We will take that as a confirm for our target." Another device sounded out. "Like we said, get. on. the ground."

"Alright.." I said while laying on the ground with my front legs wrapped around my back. Elise questioned about my sanity at that time, but I let her know that this was going to be quickly over. Soon, a box shaped looking frigate came from the ship, and attempted to pick me up, but then I set the plan into motion, as I shot a ton of lasers that aimed directly at the mother ship. When it hit however, I came to a surprise, as the ship did not take any damage, and was without a scratch or dent. I tried this with all the vehicles, and all of them were impervious to it. I had to be dreaming, this must be not true. Once the claws touched me, I knew that it was real.

"Elise, get out of here!" I yelled to her.

She took off, and I swiftly escaped the grasp of the claw that the frigate sent out from the bottom of the chassis. Everything shot from the directions of me and Elise, as I took off the ground and began flying as fast as I could. The spacecraft that came down, sped at me, with their missiles homing on me, and guns trying to hit my wings, hoping that they could disable my only way of escaping the Sevaeric. Finally, a challenge to overcome, as now the opponent just stepped up their game and got the head over me, as I tried to come up with the plan as the thundering engines and the sounds of guns and missiles exploding was still in action.

There were at least thousands of bullets shooting at me at once, and more than a hundred coming my way right now, as the mothership sent out a sheer amount of reinforcements, all with impenetrable armor. This was a raining disaster, much more like a Apocalypse. At this point, with this they could actually take over the universe, unless they can be mind controlled. I could feel missiles pummeling me from left to right, exploding shrapnel and ash from its casket, and obstructing my sight. I could see ground troops, walking towards the forest where the survivors of the old Sevaeric empire resided in. I am sure it must me a welcoming party, and recovering Desto and them as well. The sheer thrill of me trying to dodge each and every bullet was insane, as almost everything hit me, either slightly knocking me off of my path, or distracting me from getting a whole plan across. I tried to ward them off, as my Oculus appeared beside me, and grew a bit while shining like a sun, as it was supposed to wipe them from existence, but then, all of them just gone low, and did not die from it, as the fighters instantly began to get back onto my tail.

The fighters kept on coming from hatches within the mothership, with at least a ton of armor and weaponry with each second that passed within that moment. My mind kept on calling out, where is the help that you need right now? The machine guns from the ship began popping out, appearing with over twenty different silver barrels, all with bullets that had my name on it, as if I was the thing that they wanted. To be honest, all of this was hugely unnecessary, sending a whole armada with a almost indestructible ship right at me and my family? That is just not right. Although Desto might of put on a distress signal, but there was no way of telling. Smoke was already falling down, and covering the surface with ash and dust, accompanied by craters and fire. This was probably one of the hardest things that I ever tried to avoid.

The heavy firepower began getting much more intense after the first container of gas dropped down from the ship. I could already see why, because they did not intend to kill me. They either had someone place a price on my head, and they must be trying to claim the reward. Regardless, I had to get out of there and hide. There is nothing to it. Either my wings don't give up, or my chances of surviving are slim, even with this near indestructible armor. The strange thing that was noticed by me, was that my body felt it could voyage and fly straight through the planets if I wanted to. I cheered in excitement, wanting to believe that I could escape them, but I stayed vigilant. The fighters began to change course slightly, but continued pressing a unholy amount of gunfire, and a terrifying quantity of missiles with each one chasing me. If it was not for Elise, there would be close to a whole squadron which was at this point, a billion at most. It was like they were on the run, or more preferably, only a part of the population. They already got the edge over us, and now there is nothing I could do but fly, and hope for the best.

The container that was dropped a few seconds ago was about to get opened by the foot soldiers, so my wings beaten harder than before, as the fighters matched my speed with ease. I felt the amount of projectiles decreasing with each second, giving me a sense of relief and some time to try and lose them. They had to reload or run out, right? Two of the flying machines were now speeding at me, trying to get me into a tight spot so that I could not get out of flying straight ahead. Then, they accidentally hit my wing, and they were plummeting towards the ground without a sign of damage. I looked back while flying faster than lightning, as the sight shown the two fighters down on the ground, but then getting right back up, as that was not enough to take them down. This was outrageous, either this is the only squadron of the Sevaeric that had this overwhelming power, or this was just relocating and I happened to be in their way, as me being identified as the assassin of the prime minister.

"Suspect is going faster, he'll probably try to lose us or least likely lead us to death." One of the comms devices sounded out as I began getting closer to the low ground. "Fear not, my brethren, he'll soon know when to quit, so let's keep him at critical conditions and not letting go of his position."

Some of the fighters diverged, going back to the container to find another way to get me in a impossible situation. For now, my wings were still flapping like crazy, as I tried to dodge each missile with a few barrel rolls and sharp turns. When they were pursuing me while I made those sharp turns, they immediately found themselves weak in the topic of maneuvers and turns. Suddenly, what it led to, was a excellent idea, if my guess towards their engine strength is lucky. I looked back, seeing that the gas has already began fogging the area heavily. The grey gas was literally almost covering the helicopters after five seconds, and now the gas was now travelling at a very high rate, causing anything left behind to be lost forever in the smoke. I could not lay a claw on what the gas actually did, but I knew that it had to do with either weakening or getting me to a very bad position. Most of the squadron of fighters that looked like jets diverged from the chase, and began setting checkpoints. After that, I heard a very distant noise, that sounded like a charge was powering up from something.

After the noise, when I looked in front of me, a huge barrier surrounded the area, causing all of us to get trapped inside a very dense force field as the sun then began rising on the horizon. Darkness however, was still under the ship, but the light from the sun made it so that it was not so dark anymore. The thought of Elise was bothering me so much, that my body plummeted into a huge crater of smoke as it trailed the surface. The crash caused me to almost slow down, but I was still alright, as my wings flapped once again to escape the pursuers. There was a way now, for me to test out my theory, about its engines, so I fired a very destructive beam right at the engines, as it hit the turbine straight on, but then nothing happened, as it still chased me, and the pilot warned everyone that I began showing a resistance and calling it futile.

"Proceeding with caution, cover me." I heard a communication device speak again. "He is not going to stay in the air for long."

There was no point in calling for help, as the reinforcements will surely come, and take them out instantly. How many of them were in there, a million? infinity? Did they recruit that many, or did they begin cloning like the grineer? Within seconds, I felt something come around my wings, and tied them together, causing me to fall from the air. My nose was now bleeding, as a huge rail hit me straight in the nose, as the projectile bounced off. Few moments later, I found myself surrounded by the ground units, having high powered flashlights trying to blind me, but that was not going to work. Once the transportation vehicles unloaded at least three soldiers off of the load, they continued trying to get me to the position where they would complete the capture, but then my aura began to weaken the bonds from my wings, and then I broke free, flying away from the fog in a different direction.

Soon, a huge laser hit me dead center, and blown me all the way from there to about the edge of the forest, which was very far away. This was a advantage to my cause, as the sounds became a bit quieter, and I could think again. All of the soldiers were equipped with this very strong armor, that could withstand any of my attacks, including what I can do to them without touching or breathing. I could hear a multitude of footsteps, as I turned invisible, and got back into the quicksand pit that I encountered earlier. I found this as a way to make the heat die down.

"We are not leaving until we find him, Check around!" The comms device sounded out.

"Understood, we will leave three soldiers right here to search while we get the survivors to safety." One of them said.

"I found him! Heat signature is down below, lets find the entrance to his stakeout!" One of the three said.

I could not figure out how they could find me so quickly, last time I checked, thermal could not go through walls because of the barriers that outline the walls. Heck, even the ground that has not been developed did get a barrier that blocked it, so did they find a way to bypass since the return of Equinox? I tried to stay invisible, as I could hear the rustling of the leaves, and the soldiers dropping. All three of them jumped in, and all landed in quicksand. They all seemed hopeless now, until they jumped out without a single complication. I was now at bay, with them all gesturing; "Checkmate". They had all their flashlights gleaming right towards, me, as one walked up and aimed for my head. I tried to drive them back, firing the lasers out of the void, breathing fire, and making them die from the inside, but none of them worked, as the soldiers came up, and forced me on my back and one carried me.

"Got him. What is the status of his mate?"

"Already at rendezvous, Both Suspects are not damaged, and now subject to bending at our will." The device sounded out. "If you are thinking to ask the question I think you are going to say, the search party already found them all, including Desto. Let us give them another chance to be with their own."

They have already gotten Elise. They were quick, and that would confirm that Desto and the soldiers are magma resistant. It looks like it is the end, The Sevaeric have gotten to the point of where they could overpower Equinox, although it will be a tough fight. I was hauled over the shoulder, while I could see Elise, immobilized with lightning chains, with a rush of anxiety. I could see the village members already standing in a group, and they were all protected by the newfound Sevaeric. Then, we were pulled up from the ground, and then onto the floor of the mothership, being incredibly weak.

"Nice. You got Akaz, and his partner too. Maybe I should reward you guys, since the deal is for the son of Equinox to be contained, and you are nearing that objective." The Acron Cyborg said with a grin.

"Well, maybe the Melequain Anophyst that you were constantly talking about?" One of the commanders with his hands tied behind his back said."We could sure use the extra firepower for the mothership."

"Consider it done." The Acron said while handing out the purple orb.

"Hold on. Didn't you say that you had a Basalisk in your control?" He asked.

"Of course, whats wrong?"

"Well, lets just say he might be our next target for a reason..." The commander said while denying the Anophyst. "Keep him under control, and use that to help you in doing so."

"Understood. Thank you." The Cyborg said while walking away.

"No, we should actually thank you, as your beast told us where the target of interest was." The Commander reminded. "Now he is here, along with some others that we could hold for ransom."

"Let me guess, you are going to kill me, and hold my partner hostage?" I assumed.

"No, please dont jump to conclusions." The Commander replied. "In fact, we never planned for your execution."

"What? So this whole armada thing..." I quietly said.

"Was all because you killed the one who was defying our orders. Still, he was a leader of that sector, so something has to be done.." He explained. "I could poison you."

"But that is basically execution." I complained.

"You can handle it. Dont make me change my mind to make you one of the dead to throw into a grave, you overgrown salamander." He threatened. "You are going to regret ever messing with any of us, even the rejects."

(Sorry, I wanted to write this since I have been playing too much GTA V, I am getting addicted to it, I will add more action if you guys need it. Anyways hope you have a nice day. And I added some more length in the scene, so enjoy, because I am going for those 200 chapters, and I am about to get my 60th one. )
