Chapter 6 - Leaving Earth

My apologies for not writing sooner, a lot has happened since my last post, we are currently in the ship. But before I get to what's happening now, let me tell you guys what has happened.

I woke up to see Chloe sitting next to our bed smiling, she kissed me and offered me a cup of coffee. I have to admit, she's really kind.

So I sat up to drink my coffee, when I realized that I'm still undressed, she was wearing a beautiful short summer dress.

She gave me a kiss and told me that she's happy that we can be together now. But then her demeanor changed.

She told me that as soon as I finish my coffee I must take a shower and get dressed.

The urgency in her voice got me rushing. When I got out of the shower and back to our bedroom she had clothes ready for me, but not normal clothes, she also changed, it was a strange outfit, looked like armor, but had lights on it and she was wearing a device on her arm similar to what Azaria gave me, but more advanced.

Me. "What is going on? Why are you wearing that?"

Chloe. "Put this on and hurry up, we have to leave soon."

Me. "Why so soon? I thought you needed 2 days to prepare the ship?"

Chloe. "No, the ship is always ready, I just didn't trust Zoe, and I was right."

Me, "what do you mean?"

Chloe. "Zoe and John were gone when I woke up this morning."

Me. "Maybe they went to check on the resistance, let's not make assumptions."

Chloe. "No, her blue light device is here. She only took her phone."

Me. "Is that a bad thing?"

Chloe. "That means that we are in danger. Get suited up and put your blue light device on. Time is short and we need to go."

So I tried to put the suit on, but can't figure out how to put it on, so Chloe came and she was a bit annoyed, she took the suit out of my hands and pushed it against my body, and just like that it crawled over my body like nano technology covering my entire body within seconds. But as soon as it was on we heard a loud speaker outside speaking to us.

Voice. "This is general Smith, come outside with your hands in the air, you are surrounded."

Me to Chloe. "I'm ready, let's jump."

Chloe to me. "No, it's the Earth United Space Force. We need to go outside, I must talk to them. "

Me to Chloe. "United Space Force? They don't exist, we need to go."

Chloe to me. "Trust me, they exist, they are human allies."

Me to Chloe. "I trust you, I just hope you know what you are doing."

Voice. "Your time is running out, come out with your hands in the air."

So I followed Chloe out the door holding my hands behind my head the same as her.

As we got outside there were helicopters in the air, tanks, and more soldiers then I can count all pointing their weapons at us, but then the voice came over the speaker again.

"Stand down, it's princess Chloe."

Just like that all the soldiers stood down, then an old man with gray hair and a full gray beard came walking up to us smiling. "Princess" he bowed down. "The agency told us there was an off-worlder at this location that had a human hostage and was planning to leave earth. "

Chloe looking at me, "well I am an off-worlder, but he is neither a hostage nor human. He is my partner and the father of my baby."

Smith. "You are pregnant? I thought your people return to your core worlds when a woman falls pregnant."

Chloe. "I've been promoted to queen in this sector, but we need to get to my ship urgently, I need to meet with the Acturions."

Smith. "The Acturions? I thought they withdrew from the alliance?"

Chloe. "They have, but I need to meet with them, "I think it has begun."

Smith. "The merge? We are at your command princess, how can we assist?"

Seeing the change and fear in his face I realized this was much bigger then I could imagine, how much was there that I wasn't told.

Chloe. "My ship is kept safely in one of your black sites, we need safe access to my ship."

Smith. "We will assist you, your ship is still safe, our men has even kept it nice and clean for you." He had a huge smile on his face waiting for an answer.

Chloe. "I appreciate that, a girl loves a clean car. But we must go."

But then we got interrupted again.

Voice. "This is 03 from the agency, hand the prisoners over to us or you will all be killed."

Smith. "I hope you guys are ready for a fight. Chloe I know you lost your blue light when you fell pregnant. But I hope you are ready for a fight. " looking at me.

Chloe. "I've still got my blue light." Lighting up like a blue star."

Chloe looks at me. "Time you reach your potential, your wife and child are in danger."

We are not married yet, but that didn't matter, upon hearing her say that in such a girly voice, almost scared, yet innocent, enraged me. And suddenly I felt an energy surge run through my body like never before, I felt myself lift off the ground and suddenly I saw only blue and red figures all over, I knew instinctively that the red figures were our enemies.

Smith. "What the hell is going on? What is he, I thought you were the only one."

Chloe. "I thought so too, I suspected, but now I know he is just like me. "

But then I heard a gun shot, I saw the bullet, it was traveling in slow motion and it was heading for Chloe, but not just for her, it was heading for the baby. I snapped my fingers and the bullet vanished and then I heard a scream. I looked up and saw the sniper laying on the ground, the bullet that was meant for our child hit him in his mid section, my instinct of protecting her inadvertently threw the bullet back into him.

Then war planes appeared out of nowhere, soldiers came out of the Forrest all firing at full force at Smith and his forces.

But before I knew what was happening Chloe was next to me floating in my the air, she took my hand and looked me in the eyes, "you are not ready yet, we need to do this together. I can end this, but you need to channel your blue light into me."

I knew I had to trust her, I'm new to this, she's got experience in battle.

I just nodded, I looked her in the eyes and I replied, "I trust you and I love you."

Chloe. Froze for a second, "you do? "

Me. "I love you and our child, I loved you when I first saw you."

Chloe smiles. "We are going to win."

The next moment I fell to the ground and I saw a flash of blue light before I blacked out.

When I came to we were in a helicopter flying, I saw Chloe sitting next to Zoe, and general Smith on the opposite side.

Smith. "Hey kid, I'm sorry I sent agents to capture you, I thought you were with the enemy."

Me, "what are you talking about? And what the hell is she doing here?"

Zoe. "John was a moll, he betrayed us, I woke up and realized that he was gone, that's when I realized he went to the agency, so I had to contact the space force. "

Me. "You are lying."

Chloe. "She is telling the truth, she allowed me to see all of her memories."

Smith. "She's telling the truth, but I need you to accept my apologies for sending agents after you."

Me. "Which agents? "

Chloe. "The 2 you blasted out of existence."

Me. "No, I apologize, I didn't know what was going on."

Smith. "Let's just agree to let this go, I really don't want to have the Seleons as enemies."

Chloe. "Agreed."

Me. Getting up and taking a seat next to Chloe who immediately takes my hand. "Where are we going?"

Chloe. "We are going to my ship."

Me. "What happened to the agents?"

Smith. "Chloe knocked them out, they should be out for another day or so."

Me. "You didn't kill them?"

Chloe. "I don't kill unless if there is no other way."

Pilot. "ETA 5 minutes"

I look out the window and see just desert around us. "Where are we?"

Smith. "Sorry kid, it's classified. But you are safe."

Chloe. "We need to activate our suits."

Me. "How? "

Chloe grabs my arm and touches my arm device and the next moment my whole suit tightens and starts to glow a light blue, she does the same with hers.

Smith. "I wish I could come with."

We landed and then we walked through a long hall and then went down an elevator and down another long passage, through a few security doors, and then we entered a huge room and that is when I saw the ship, it was bigger then I imagined, a triangular shape, hovering in the air with a ramp to the floor on the one side and there was human crews all around checking it. Then one scientist came to smith.

Scientist. "Sir, what's going on? The ship activated and started warming up its hyper-drive. " Then he saw us and fell almost on his face bowing down. "Princess."

Chloe. "Can you please stand up, you know I hate that, it's not our culture."

Smith. "They are in a hurry, open the space port doors so they can leave and activate the air defense systems. Inform space command to clear a path for them."

Scientist. "But sir, I thought humans are not allowed onboard Seleon ships."

Smith. "He is her husband."

Then suddenly everyone starts leaving, Smith turns to give us a salute then turns to me. "Kid, I hope you know how lucky you are, I've begged her for a ride on this ship for years and she wouldn't. Let me know what it's like."

Then Zoe comes up to us with a bag, handing it to me, "she likes her wine, so here you go. But please take care of my girl."

Close taking her hands, "I'm sorry about John, come with us, there is more suits on the ship."

Zoe. "I will get over it, after all, he lived up to his human nature, but I will stay with the general to make sure earth doesn't fall apart till you guys return. "

Chloe. "I understand. I will see you in less then a week."

Zoe. "Just go before I cry, and avoid the patrols."

Chloe. "They can't stop me. And I think my mother wants me to do this."

Then she gave Zoe a hug and took my hand as we entered the ship. Once we got in the ramp closed behind us and we walked down the hall towards the bridge, but then I got the shock of my life. "Where is the controls?"

Chloe. "Right here."

Me. "Where?"

Chloe. "Right here, I am the controls."

Me. "Excuse me."

But she didn't talk any further. She walked to the center of the empty white room and took a seat in a empty space which suddenly formed a chair.

We are about to leave. I will update you guys soon. Well as soon as we return to earth.

What's to come?

Chloe "take the weapons"

Me. "What weapons? How? "

That is when my suit formed a helmet over my head and I could suddenly see all around the ship, I could feel everything around the ship, I immediately knew which weapon systems we had, how they worked, why each weapon does.
