1. Falling Star
A metal meteor shots across the void, in it....
"Mahlia, give me a status report."
Mika said to his companion AI as he tries to keep the mecha which was almost destroyed from getting worse.
Mahlia runed a system check, calculated and knew the situation was not going to get better.
"Master, Starfall has taken too much damage. It's not going to hold for much longer. All systems are 95% down and.."
"Enough!" Mika cuts in.
He knows this can't possibly end well at this rate but at least he has to get the motherbox far enough before it explodes.
Sighing deeply and wiping his forehead, he turns his attention back to Mahlia..
"Divert all remaining power to the thrusters and change corse, new path " The convergence point. "
Mahlia was aware now of her master's plan.
It was suicidal but just something he would choose.
" Command acknowledged, diverting remaining power, changing corse."
....------------.....
Sina walked down the corridor in a brisk fashion, constantly turning to make sure he was not being followed.
A hand comes out of a room and pulls him in.
" Aaaah. Sh*t... "
A hand goes to his mouth to keep him from speaking or possible yelling again.
Sina looks up in panic, sees the one holding him down and claims down immediately.
The owner of the hand sees this and steps back.
"Stephen you idot, are you trying to kill me?" Sina says angrily to the man across from him.
The man looks at the fuming ger amusingly and shrugged, not bothered by the other's tantrum.
Sina is not happy about his reaction but can do nothing about it. This is the male he loves after all, it's not like he can stay angry at him.
The two look at each other for a while and the male Stephen speaks first.
" How did it go?"
Sina lowers his head and answers with a little guilt in his tone.
"The mission went as planned, the motherbox was retrieved and...."
"Stop!... you know that's not what I was talking about."
The man walked towards the ger and lifted his lowered head, forcing him to look into his eyes.
"Stephen, Mika got the box but due to what we did Starfall was damaged heavily and...".
Stephen tighted his hold on the ger's chin, causing him to feel pain.
"We?" he asked in a low tone.
Sina eyes widened at his word and it's intended meaning.
He heart suddenly chilled a little.
"I... I.. I mean what I did. It had nothing to do with you."
Stephen smiled at the meek and obedient ger before him.
'This is how a ger should behave, knowing his place and being meek. Not like that rebalious would have been wife of his'
"Good boy. You will go back to the
command center and wait for my call, go."
Sina looked at the male he has always wanted and even killed his best friend for, he did not see love for him in the eyes of this man or gratitude for what he had done.
But he still loved the man, knew he could change his mind to love him one day and make his wait worth it.
So turned and left.
'beep, beeeep, beep.'
The light brain on his hand sounded.
"what?", he asked a little annoyed.
"Young master Vinna, there is a communication request for you on the main line."
Stephen brows wrinkled slightly, why would anyone contact him on the main line when they could just call him straight.
"Who is it?"
"Young Master the ID says Mahlia. Should I put them through?"
Stephen stayed quite for a moment, Mahlia is the name of his soon to dead wife's companion mecha. With a sinister look in his eyes he replied.
"No. Also block that frequency the call is on, don't let them bother others."
'' Yes, young master. "
'My good wife, why don't you go die quietly'.
... - - - - - - - - - - - -....
Mahlia looked at the now blocked frequency and realized what had been done.
It seems her suspension was correct. The master's husband was truly a villain.
"Mahlia, did you get through to him? I want to talk to him before I..... before I...."
Mahlia looked at his always strong master on the verge of collapse because of a male that valued him not and made a decision.
"Master, there is not enough power to make the call. I am sorry."
Mikael's face fell. He trusted his companion and knew she wouldn't and couldn't lie. So he took a deep breath and looked at path before him.
"Mahlia, put on some soft music and full speed ahead."
Mikael De Montague, only surviving member of the Montague family, with a determination like that of his ancestors readys himself to sacrifice for the empire.
