Phoenix Saga Part 8

//

The explosion created a powerful wave of energy that affected the other nearby spaceships.

The captains of the spaceships were shocked and horrified.

The main spaceship where the admiral was had been destroyed and now, they did not know what to do.

And to top it off, they didn't know who was the culprit.

When the aftermath of the explosion was over, the Shi'ar spaceships detected signs of life from the destroyed spaceship.

Quickly the captains reviewed the place and the image of a girl who watched them indifferently appeared on their screens.

Seeing the girl, they quickly realized that she was the culprit.

But realizing that their admiral had been killed by a girl made them doubt their abilities, which made them a little depressed.

But still they gave the order to attack with everything they had.

Est was floating calmly in space and around her floated the remains of the spaceship she destroyed.

Frowning, she looked at the other spaceships.

She was confused. According to what Emma taught her, if she shows great power and overwhelms her enemies, they will run away from her.

But from what she saw in front of her, they seemed to have no reason to do so.

Est watched as a large amount of energy bolts headed towards her.

She calmly created a shield of cosmic energy in front of her, easily blocking the attacks.

A large number of spaceships headed for her and continued their attack.

Est got upset.

With a swing of her right arm, she unleashed a powerful amount of cosmic energy, decimating a large number of spaceships.

Looking at the other spaceships, she surrounded them with cosmic energy and crushed them with it.

Thus, she started a massacre.

The captains of the remaining spaceships realized that this girl was a terrifying enemy and decided to escape.

Est realized that they were finally retreating, so she stopped her attack and didn't stop them from escaping.

When she was finally alone, she decided that it was time to go back and tell Alex that she had perfectly fulfilled what he was asked to do.

Thus, she disappeared from the place.

Uatu, who had observed the situation, was lost in thought.

He had noticed that the girl had been holding back by using her powers.

Which meant he had been wrong in analyzing the girl's capabilities.

And it proved that the control of her powers was terrifying.

She has only been with Alex Wayne for a maximum of two weeks and in that short time she has improved a lot.

Lost in his thoughts, Uatu returned to his work, but not before looking at the place where Est had caused destruction.

Minutes Later

In the place where the battle of the Shi'ar fleet against Est occurred.

A small spaceship canceled its camouflage mode.

The crew member of this small ship was Davan Shakari.

The Shi'ar Empire spy.

And currently his face reflected fear and shock.

He had learned that a fleet from the Shi'ar Empire would support him once he captured Lilandra.

And in order to do so, he had decided to borrow some soldiers to help him on his mission.

But as soon as he got within a few miles, he saw a ghastly scene, the Shi'ar fleet being decimated.

And the culprit of all this, was a damn girl.

Acting quickly, he activated stealth mode and shut down his engines.

And for the first time he prayed to his gods that this demonic child would not find him.

What he didn't know was that Est was aware of his presence, she just didn't see him as a threat.

If he knew what the girl thought of him, he wouldn't know how to feel.

After seeing that the remaining troops escaped and the girl left, he was able to breathe easy.

He had to report the situation, since he thought this girl was Lilandra's helper.

Which would make his mission difficult.

He had investigated Lilandra's movements and knew that this morning she had arrived in Genosha.

Just thinking about that place made Davan Shakari's complexion worsen.

On this planet, he was very cautious towards that place.

Even with Shi'ar technology, he hadn't been able to hack into the system of that place.

The only information about that place was its governor and his closest associates.

Alex Wayne was the governor and a being of great power and influence.

Which is why Davan Shakari didn't want to face him.

After all, he had been watching when Galactus's attack occurred.

He had wanted to escape but was shocked when he learned that Galactus had been repelled.

Since that day, he had classified Alex Wayne as a major threat.

And not only him, within Genosha there are also powerful Mutants that have the ability to easily crush him.

Just thinking about it makes Davan Shakari's mood drop.

"Damn, if my bad luck continues, my emperor D'ken will end up executing me" a depressed Davan Shakari murmured.

After a few minutes of surveying the site, he quickly returned to Earth to devise a plan to capture Lilandra and get the location of the M'kraan Crystal.

Alex Wayne POV

It's been a few hours since the girl went into space.

And I'm beginning to worry about her safety.

As I head to the lab to see how Jean is doing, I'm wondering if I should go look for her.

At that moment when I was lost in thought, a small figure appears in front of me out of nowhere, taking me by surprise.

But seeing who it is, I smile and carry the small figure in my arms.

"Welcome back, Est" I said to the girl.

"I'm home, father" the girl replied as she snuggled into my arms.

The girl seems happy.

Smiling, I breathe a sigh of relief.
