88 Chapter 88: *Knock Knock* Amazon Delivery! (Part 2)
Earth.
*Slurp* A beautiful girl is sipping a cup of coffee to start the day. Gwen is having a day off at her parent's house when her best friend Khan comes to visit.
"Let me see! Let me see!..." Khan is running to her friend the moment she enters the house. She ran past Helen who opened the door to get to Gwen. Someone who is a best friend dares to behave like their friend's house is their house.
"See what? I don't bring any souvenirs." Gwen is puzzled. Khan is holding Gwen's hand to check. 'Strange. There is no ring.'
Helen quickly pulls her away and whispers to her, "He didn't do it yet. Got disturbed."
"What are you whispering about? What's going on?" Gwen feels a little suspicious. With her father's behavior yesterday and now this, something is not right!
She stands up and goes to her mother. "Mom. Is there something you're not telling me?"
Helen fears that Gwen has sniffed out the plan Ryan has told them. For him to get on one knee and propose to her daughter. He already asks George for his blessing and gets the okay.
When Helen is not answering, Gwen turns to Khan." Do you know about it, Khan? Bestie?" Gwen says with a threat in her tone. How could they keep this from her!
"I was already suspicious last night. This confirms it. Mum…you're…pregnant right?"
*Smack!* Helen hit the back of Gwen's head.
"Oww…" She exclaimed in pain. She didn't know what was wrong with the hypothesis. 'She is looking a little puffier. I thought… '
*Smack* Gwen got smacked again.
"Why now!?" She holds the back of her head in pain.
"I got a feeling you're thinking something rude. Call it a mothers intuition."
Gwen is looking pitifully at her mother. Helen leaves Gwen and Khan together. The girls have a lot to talk about.
"So you are alone there when suddenly you come across a smuggler?" She is surprised. Khan's moods fluctuate greatly when hearing Gwen's story.
"Yeah. I beat them all up. Ryan is sending the kids back to their hometown right now." Gwen is a little proud even though Khan didn't believe her.
"You have an awesome boyfriend. It makes all my boyfriends look adequate. If Ryan is away from you, you can be sure he won't cheat."
"Well. He likes me too much. I couldn't help it." Gwen said cockily. Ryan got like 1000 DM's on his Instagram every day with girls sending him their pic. He had never opened them.
"Urgh. Luckily my new boyfriend is taking me to Paris next month. Otherwise, I will be too pitiful." Khan is lamenting the fact that all her boyfriend up till now is a useless men. The new ones feel a little different for her.
"Uncle Bryan has let you go?" The biggest reveal in Gwen's life so far is when she knows Bryan Mills, who is Ryan's head of security, is Khan's father. Her jaw just dropped at the time.
"I didn't tell him. I am an adult now. He is so overprotective that I feel suffocated. Besides, Amanda is coming with me. "
"You only dated this guy for a month right? It makes sense if he wants to protect you."
The cheery mood drops a little. Khan has a rare serious look on her face.
"Nope. He only cared about his job. I don't want the conversation to lead down this road."
Khan changes the subject to a more cheerful one. "Gwen, have you ever thought about your future? Like if you're gonna get married or have kids?"
"What? That's too soon to think about. I am only 24. If I want to get married it will be at 30."
Khan shook her head subtly. "Looks like he is going to wait."
…
Space. Medical Bay.
Blue light is coming out from the equipment on the chair. It focuses on Jay's left leg. The treatment is almost over. The blue light suddenly turns off.
The limited compound ran out before it could fully heal Jay's leg. There is no more compound in the machine. MediQuick gives the updates to the pink-colored girls there.
[Hereditary disease: Healed.
Broken Bone: 95%. Treatment Interrupted.
Reason: Ran out of Limited Healing Compound.
Alternative Treatment: Physiotherapy.]
"Jay. It seems we have used up his medical kit. Will he be mad at us?" Arina, the youngest girl there said worriedly. The man has been nice, but they still don't know what he is going to do with them. What if he is healing them to sell at a higher price.
"I am sure he has stocks of it. Why would he use it all to heal us? It doesn't make sense. He must have kept it in another place." Deet tries to come out with a logical approach. She is pushing away the bad thought. After all, the man had saved her from death.
MediQuick heard the question. The advanced AI is capable of basic conversation. Its intelligence level is lower than ALBUS or RQ, as it is a specialized AI. It chimes in with his computerized voice.
[The Mandalorian didn't have other stock of it. It is made from a one-of-a-kind material. It couldn't be replicated by ordinary material]
Deet is shocked to hear the chair speak. Jay and Arina focus more on what he says and what he can say.
"Why does he heal us?" Jay asks. It is a question that is lingering in his mind. 'Why'
[Cannot Confirm. He ordered me to help you if I can. He also allows me to use whatever is necessary.]
The answer makes the girl more puzzled. Jay asks again.
"What is his exact order?"
The Mediquick is playing a recording of the Mandalorian voice instead of answering them.
[ "... Before we get to Xandar, help the victim to stand back on their feet. They should be able to walk back to their hometown, and not be escorted there… "]
" He is sending us to Xandar? Really?" Arina said excitedly. She can go home now! Deet and Jay are also excited. MediQuick chimes in again.
[ He has prepared sustenance and a change of wardrobe. Please go to room B-3]
They look at their outfit. They are barely wearing anything. All the folded area and pointy chest things can be seen in the silk-like garment. They are stripped from their server outfit and put into a slave outfit by the snakes.
Obeying the AI instruction, they go to the storage room. Ryan didn't have a change of clothing for the girls, so he used the clothes synthesizer he has on the storage ring. He just types in casual clothes for girls.
He didn't know that RQ had learned what it meant by casual clothes for women as she received orders from the islander girls every single day.
"This is amazing!" Arina is twirling in her one-piece, white dress that feels very comfortable on her skin. She pairs the dress with a brown wool coat.
Jay decided on a black tank top, a black short jacket, black pants, and black shoes. Her belly button is showing but she feels strangely powerful in the clothes. Deet is wearing a long sleeve shirt and a long skirt. She has to wear warm clothes for her health.
The ship was docked at Kymelia at the time. The girls found out that the Mandalorian is sending the kids back and traded some of the snakes to be executed over there. Seeing his action, they begin to trust him.
"Honestly, I wish he would just kill all of the monsters right now," Arina exclaimed. She couldn't wait to see the Snark's demise.
Ryan has finished his job on the planet. He gets to the ship's bridge and flies away. He got an update from MediQuick about the limited compound.
"So it works." Ryan mumbles. The compound is made from the bone of the eel monster he got before. The 100-meter-long bones were ground to take some medication. It possesses regenerative qualities to heal bones.
"The 200 g I have on the ship is made from 2 kg of bones. Luckily I have tons of them at home." He is recording all the data from his experiment.
The compound is very hard to make as he didn't have a specialized manufacturing machine yet. He does it all with mortar and pestle like in the olden age.
The blue laser light holds the bones together while sending the compound to mend the bones. If X-rayed, the bones will look like it has a lot of cracks, gradually becoming whole again.
He could have more of the compound, but he didn't have much time on his hand that he contemplated another clone. That is also why he wants to just relax on Mars. He had been overworking.
"Isn't my resolution in this life to keep things simple? But now? I am in the middle of nowhere, sending alien children back to their home planet."
Both Kai and Dawn also reduced their work to relax a bit more at the time. It is supposed to be a vacation for all of them, but things like a daughter being kidnapped, and the Somali presidential candidate being assassinated, make them very busy.
*Size* The door to the bridge is opened. Ryan assumed back his character as the silent type Mandalorian.
He turned back to look at the pink alien woman. It is very lucky for him to be wearing a helmet. Otherwise, the woman will see his jaw drop.
"Hi. Thank you for saving us." Three naked females with pink skin, are entering the cockpit. They don't even seem embarrassed. It seems like an ordinary evening for them.
"We want to show you our gratitude." Jay walks seductively toward the Mandalorian. She is going to kneel over to align her head with the Mandalorian lower body. They are doing it with their own will. He had done so much for them. They don't even mind it if he plants his seed in them. They want to give him an enjoyable time.
Ryan stopped Jay quickly from approaching him. He raised his hand toward them. "Stop. I don't need this. There is a change of wardrobe in the B-3 room. Go put on some clothes."
He turns his attention back to the route, leaving the girls seeing only the back of his helmet.
The girl is stunned. Then, they got a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry," Jay says in a low tone and goes to wear her clothes back. Arina and Deet are also running to wear their clothes.
The door closed again. "F*ck" Ryan cursed. He really didn't expect it to happen that he put down his guard. If he keeps blacking out who knows what will have to happen.
He takes out a picture of Gwen to look at to calm him down.
…
After 15 minutes, the girl and the Mandalorian meet officially this time. The girls introduce themselves. Ryan asks them if they are okay to be dropped at Xandar. All of them said that they are from Xandar. Jay has a brother-in-law who is in the government called Denarian Rhomann Dey. He can help them ease the entry to Xandar.
"I have to make a few stops. The first one is approaching." Ryan said in a cool tone. He had sent a transmission to a certain spaceship for a meeting near a desolate planet with a habitable atmosphere.
*Swoosh* The ship is entering the atmosphere of the desolate planet. He could only see a beige color soil on the planet. He waited for an hour when a cruiser class ship entered the planet's atmosphere.
"That's a Kree Battleship!" Jay is shocked. The Kree is the Xandarian mortal enemy. Even when there is peace talk, both sides are still engaging in hostilities toward one another. Deet and Arina grew fearful. The Mandalorian said to them. "Stay here. Don't get out."
Ryan walks out of the X-wing spaceship. The Kree ship lands within a hundred meters of his ship. A battalion of 12 Kree people and 18 Sakaaran mercenaries comes out of the ship and surrounds Ryan.
"Are you the Mandalorian who sent the transmission? You are aware that you are facing the glorious citizens of the Kree empire." The Kree who seems to be a leader is talking to Ryan.
"Talking blue aliens are Kree. Duly noted." Ryan isn't afraid of them. Even if the people there aren't under Ronan the Accuser, with the Sakaaran mercenary following them, they are not good apples.
"You dare!" the Kree leader is instigated. It is so easy for someone to get on Kree's nerves.
Ryan ignores him and takes out the Kree kids that are with him. Two Kree kids are taken by the snakes. He didn't want to go to their planet so he asked them to meet him here.
"Two kids delivered." Ryan floats the kids to the Kree people. The Kree is confirming their citizen that was taken. Ryan doesn't want to bother with them after his job is done, however…
"You are coming with us! Sakaaran, search his ship!" The Kree leader ordered. The Kree people are aiming their guns at Ryan. They want to capture and interrogate him, even when he is doing a good thing.
The Sakaaran is walking toward Ryan's spaceship. *Pew* A fist-size hole appeared on the planet ground in front of the Sakaaran. Ryan has shot his blaster to stop him.
Ryan feels a bit embarrassed. He might have gone overboard when he mimicked the sound of the blaster in the Star Wars movie.
"Another step and you're dead." He warns the Sakaaran.
"You dare offend the Kree people! Kill him!" That is what the leader wants in the first place. If Ryan got away, the incompetence of the Kree empire will show.
*Bang* The Sakaaran are blasting their energy gun at Ryan. He somersaults after jumping in the air and landing 3 meters away. He takes out his blaster and shoots 2 Sakaaran in the chest.
"Arhh" a still fiery gaping hole is opened on the enemy's chest. They died instantly. Ryan ran and jumped on the head of the nearest Sakaran while kicking it. He shoots 5 enemies at the same time he does that.
His battle is seen by the woman on his spaceship. They are in awe seeing his skill in battle. The enemy couldn't touch him, nor did he hide from them. It's almost like he is playing around with them.
"He is just one person! Kill him!" The Kree leader panicked a little. The target is harder to catch than he thought. An energy blast is heading towards the Kree leader. He is very shocked that he reached out to the Kree beside him and yanked him to take the blast for him. He had killed his people to save himself.
Ryan doesn't mind being lethal. He just needs to save one person to bring the kids back. "Boring…" He exclaimed. One-shot one kill. He didn't feel the thrill of battle at all. He took out his sword instead when the Sakaaran was all dead.
"Don't get cocky!" The Kree leader yelled. The guy with the helmet is very hateful toward him.
"Too bad I didn't have the real DarkSaber." The sword Ryan is using right now is designed based on the Mandalorian weapon he saw in the movie. However, it couldn't hold a candle to the real thing.
He approaches the nearest Kree who is struggling to aim at him. He cut off the Kree's blaster rifle in half. "No...don't…" The Kree tries to beg, but the sword cuts his head from the rest of his body.
"I will give you a chance to surrender," Ryan said. There are only 5 Kree left including the leader.
"You're dead. Our reinforcement is on the way!" The Kree leader said. He had notified the nearest Kree ship to send help. He expected the Mandalorian to run in fear of the Kree might. However…
"Good. Then someone can pick up the kids amidst your corpses."
In one minute, only the Kree leader is left. He is crawling away using his hand as his leg is cut off. Ryan is walking towards him slowly from behind as he uses all his strength to crawl back toward the ship.
He crawled for 30 meters before he reached the ship's door. He opened the side door of the ship to enter and take cover. The moment the ship door opened, a black blade penetrated his chest.
"Thank you for opening the door." Ryan stepped on the body of the Kree leader and entered the spaceship. He comes out 5 minutes later with some cargo. It is his payment for delivering the kids. He also left a message for the backup who is on their way.
He waltzed back to the X-wing. The Kree kids are stored inside the empty cruiser ship of the Kree. He has done his job, it is Kree's fault for the incident.
The incident didn't bother him at all, but the woman on the ship, a part of their body, was wet.
"Deet, wipe out your drool," Jay said. The Mandalorian is entering the ship at this time. Ryan walks to the cockpit after storing the item in the cargo area.
"Next stop. Xandar." He controls the spaceship and it flies out of the desolate planet into the galaxy.
…
Fifteen minutes later, a large Kree ship enters the planet's atmosphere. A battalion of necrocraft is ejected from the ship and it flies to the planet's surface. They found the still intact Kree cruiser spaceship there.
"Korath, have you found it?" A deep, malicious voice is asking the person in the leading aircraft who entered the spaceship.
"I have. But all of the Kree people are dead." Korath said to his leader.
The voice is silent. "Find the zealot, and kill him."
He didn't forgive. He didn't forget. He follows the ancient law of the Kree people, to punish those who do not.
"But Ronan. We didn't know who he was." Korath asks for guidance. It was then he saw the kids sleeping in the hibernation chamber with a message…[ Delivered - Mandalorian.]
