Chapter 3
As i ran thtough the Gistiah ship, i could hear the alien like alarm begin to echo throughout its corridors. I came across two guards and as they pounced at me i dodged the heavy blows and quickly grabbed one's wrist, twisted it and stole the shifty blade. I stabbed him in the gut and began to parry with the other. My arm tiring from the constant battering of the swords. I dropped back, he pushed forward with his long talons swiping in the air, he sliced into my chest, almost immediately a thick stream of blood began to rush out. I fell to the ground, the massive alien walking towards me slowly, I rolled to my right to grab my sword. I picked it up and as he came down to finish me off I pulled up and stabbed him right in the chest. I laid there for a little while until i finally noticed the siren was still going and I needed to get out of there so I made my escape and attempted to cover my tracks.
"Gaxonan, get the commander!" the Gistiah crewman shouted.
"Commander, we have two dead and blood everywhere, the prisoner must've killed him."
"What are you doing standing here, find him now!"
"Yes sir!"
"I don't need your reply I need you to find him, the intelligence he has is valuable to Overlord Veritoba, and if you need more motivation than that I will have your head if I dont get his. I'll be there in a minute to scope out the scene but for now you need to start a widespread search for him."
"Sir i won't let you down!" I said as I turned around and ran down the long glistening hallways. Knowing i can't let him down or i would die i had to get on this, he wasn't going to do any investigating he never has. It was up to me to "scope" it out as the commander had said.
Blood everywhere, I scrounged through the crime scene nothing is here. Then I noticed something a blood trail leading into the vents, but there was more, there were footsteps leading towards the entertainment area of the ship. There, alcohol was served and songs sung. As i opened the creeky vent another body wrapped in orange suspenders jumped at out at me. The suspenders were that of a prisoner on the Gistiah ship would wear. Was this the criminal that escaped our clutches?
I was unsure of what to think, someone made it out of this conflict alive and didn't step forward but why? As i came out of the vent a gigantic figure stood over me. "Gaxonan, what are you doing down there." the commander said in an unpleased tone.
"Sir there's a body," I managed to spit out.
"Well, speak up boy! Is it the prisoner or not?"
"He's wearing his rags but something doesn't feel right."
