153 153 Unexpected Surprised II
Arc saw the determination in Arielle's eyes and smiles.
"Sorry about this show of force, I just wanted to be sure if you are sure of your decision after all it is not a small thing to offer your service and becomes a subordinate race." Arc smiles at Arielle "but I can see this is not a decision you take on a whim. So I accept this offer and as long as you remain loyal so am I."
Arielle smiles brightly when she heard it even Gideon has a smile on his face.
Over the next few hours, Arc began to reorganize the Celeste with the help of Eve and Arielle, after a small ceremony of pledging their fealty to Arc, Arielle and the rest of Celeste have now become an official Vassal race of Arc. But when Arc ask them to go to Liberty they insisted that some of them stay to help Arc to whatever quest he was going to do. At first, Arc was against it but with Eve's suggestion Arc relented and so 500 or so of the top warrior of Celeste would go with Arc along with Arielle and Gideon the rest would go to Liberty to help Dianna.
Arc also repairs the Celeste damage ships. It was an easy thing to do anyway he even upgraded some of them.
And so Arc was already sailing again to complete his Urgent Quest or mission, and the Specter has now been very lively inside the bridge there are now new personnel to help with navigating. Although Specter didn't really need it, it helps to have a person guiding and helping it and besides Arc enjoys the atmosphere inside the bridge as there are personnel in charge of every function. Making the bridge very lively and looks more like a real ship bridge should have.
Arc was sitting in the captain's seat with a grin on his face watching the Celeste familiarizing with every function of the ship. And just below him the seat of Jem and the rest Arielle was with them. Gideon, on the other hand, was in the hanger preparing the group of Celeste mech pilots for any situation.
Originally there is no hanger as all combat was replaced with drones but to accommodate the Celeste a new hanger was created inside the specter just enough to house the Celeste mecha, which is now being upgraded by many builder droids. Celeste mech looks like an armored angel which Arc likes a lot, so he added the wing features to his personal mech Diablo but instead of angel wings, he added a devil wing to match the appearance of Diablo...
"My Lord we are now entering sector xxx this sector is under Grombos Race, so we should be careful."
"Call me Captain or Boss, anyways I am not familiar with this race give me Breakdown on this race."
"Um, yes My… No. Ah, Boss Captain,"
"Call me Boss," Arc laughs at his behavior.
Arielle facepalm when he saw how her elite men act. Jem was giggling while ruby has a smile on his face while Biggs, Wedge, and Jarvis have a Stoic face.
"Yes, Boss," looking embarrassed at how he acts, the man can only scratch his head.
Suddenly a humanoid alien with a face that looks like a cow with a very slim but tall body and has six arms was displayed on the main screen, then the man began to explain the Grombos features.
Arc, smiles having the database of Celeste incorporated into the Specter helps him big time he no longer needs to move in the dark, now that he has the Celeste database he also now has a record of Celeste star maps and with it, its knowledge on many unknown races in the galaxy, it is a big gain for him as star maps are one of the most heavily guarded secret on space.
"They are very aggressive and often resort into pirating like antics that is one of the reasons Grombos is not welcome into many space colonies, where many races are welcome. The man continues to explain. We are now entering their territory but to get to sector 578-AXV we have to pass through here, or we have to go a long way around and have to pass many dangerous places."
"No worry just go through, if they are foolish enough to block us then…"
Arc stop talking but with an evil glint in his eyes, everyone knows what would happen if the Grombos tried to block them.
Jem just laughs, as they pass through the Grombos territory the Grombos are nowhere to be found.
"Captain, high concentration of xxxxx materials are found in the planet in xxx.xxx" the voice of the girl who was responsible for radar rang in the bridge.
"Mark it"
"Done, Captain..." said the girl who was a little flustered as she was still getting used to reporting to Arc.
"Next time no need to tell me just mark it." said Arc smiling. While he secretly ordered Specter to send those coordinates to Legion.
After all, Legion can still be considered a top-secret existence.
"Yes Boss, Alert! Alert! Enemy detected..."
"Boss we have found a group of enemy 100,000 miles to the east their coordinates is Xxx xxxXx,"
"Ignore them," said Arc with a mischievous smile on his face.
"Yes... Boss, they are hailing us."
"About time, fine patch it through." Said Arc smiling.
Suddenly an ugly-looking cow face appeared on the screen it has many scars on its face.
"My name Kalooza, identify your self what are you doing into my territory?"
"No need to tell you that we're just passing through." Said Arc looking bored.
"Insolent, identify yourself, or you will regret it!" Said Kalooza shouting in anger.
Arc look at him but didn't reply, he just looks at Kalooza straight into his eyes making Kalooza felt dread. But feeling like he was insulted he ordered, "Destroy them." Shouted Kalooza.
In fact, Kalooza himself didn't know why he suddenly orders it, the moment he felt dread his mind blackout, but as soon as he ordered it he woke up, and feeling uneasy he immediately orders for his ship to move into the back of the fleet making his subordinates look at him in confusion.
Arc grinned, and shakes his head, he then looks at Arielle and said "this is a good opportunity to get used to fighting with my drones," Arielle nodded.
Arc didn't care they are pirates anyways, So he has no problem destroying them.
Unfortunately, not all mech of Celeste's was upgraded yet but nonetheless they all move out to join the fight, Arc then ordered Specter to support the Celeste.
And as soon as Arc ordered it countless drones detach themselves from specter and immediately form a formation with Celeste mech as the Center.
The Celeste mech pilot has constantly doing fight simulation training ever since they become part of the Specter crew and even though it's only been a few days, being elite warriors of the Celeste race they learned fast.
Kalooza seeing the enemy immediately blames himself for being too rush and an idiot for being affected by his emotion.
He was about to order a retreat, but suddenly the Specter releases a sort of energy that blocks all warp. Kalooza was shocked to learn that they can't input warp coordinates,
And he wasn't the only one that is shocked even Arc was shocked and surprised by what Specter did...
But the specter explanation is very simple, according to specter he didn't disable the warp engine or lock the space he just jams the enemy capability to input coordinates, and without coordinate warping is suicide.
As to how specter able to do that Arc didn't ask, as he was not interested in any technical explanation.
But as soon as Arc heard it he grins and looks at the Grombos fleet, who already stop advancing while his forces the Celeste, and the drones continue to advance.
The result, well total beet down, in just a few minutes since the forces clash, Grombos or Kalooza lost more than half of his fleet, the Celeste Elite force is not just for show, they show why they are called elite...
Soon Kalooza surrendered before him and his fleet was almost annihilated...
But here come the dilemma, Arc doesn't have space for the prisoner, and he couldn't just release them...
So he has no choice but to ask Legion to send a mother drone to this place, he then summons all officers of Kalooza into the specter where they will be implanted with a control chip. Kalooza and his men, of course, didn't resist.
And so Arc gains another subordinate...
Arc. Smiles while having a wicked thought... "what if?" he looks at Kalooza and Arielle and just smiles. Only he knows what he is thinking...
