Just as he finished, some of those droids came. James didn't take much time to unseal them, but when he finished he found only 50 droids standing around him. He looked in question towards Rigo who said briefly:
"They will be enough. c'mon, move all the weapons to the warehouse and start installing them."
In front of James, 50 droids worked in harmony to move the huge pile of weapons on the ground onto multiple floating metal plates that they took out. It was the first time for James, whose entire life was fixed on moving things in the base, to see such a thing.
"These are the movable plates, do you think we kept ourselves here doing nothing? We searched for new tech and managed to make great breakthroughs as things that don't even exist yet in the universe.
Our only problem was the weapon research, as we had no ability or resources to do so," Rigo volunteered to explain about the presence of such strange things for James.
"These movable plates are fantastic," James commented when he saw how these thin looking metal plates could withhold the weight of all these weapons.
"They are sturdy, and can take more weight. It's made of Rigolenium metal."
James looked at Rigo with impressed looks as he said:
"Never heard of it."
"It's a local metal that's only found here on the planet. I believe the previous supreme leader knew about the rarity and quality of this metal, so he sent us here to wait for you."
The words of Rigo captured James attention, as any information about the previous supreme leader was a hot topic for him, so he asked:
"Had the previous supreme leader mentioned this metal?"
"No, we just found it while we were discovering this planet. Even here, it was scarcely found, so we only managed to acquire small quantities of it. this metal has unique characteristics that made us call it: The magical metal."

"Why is that?" James asked.
"Because it can transmit, store, and even generate energy on its own. It can be shaped as very thin structures and could still keep its integrity and features.
If we can find more mines, we could have used it to form advanced weapon systems of our own, but we searched every place on this planet all these years and only found less than a ton of it."
"Only a ton?" James exclaimed with surprise as he added, "A ton isn't enough to even arm a single small cruiser."
"That's right, so we decided to store most of it and used only a tiny amount to build flexible devices that you are seeing right now."
"Flexible devices? What do you mean by that?" James asked while pointing towards these thin things. Rigo replied vaguely:
"You will see for yourself later at battle, and you will get really impressed, I can promise you that."
James kept his silence while watching these droids acting efficiently as they didn't take long to pack all the weapons over these strange metals. They moved without stopping to disappear in the dark path of this ship.
"Now they will install the weapons on the ships, what should we do next?"
"Have you gotten all the data?"
Rigo took out a small object that looked like a small stick as he said:
"This holds all the data here, we only need to plug it into your cruiser and the system there will upload them. The size of this data is huge, I doubt your small cruiser system will be enough."
James smiled as he received this stick as he said:
"Let's go to my ship. Tell the others to be ready to fly out once they finished installing the weapons. Bring 20 droids that can use the fighting simulator well."
James then moved towards the exit, while Rigo followed him while asking:

"What is this fighting simulator?"
James sighed, it seemed these droids were really outdated with everything regarding weapon systems, so he explained:
"It's the tools to control and direct the canons."
"Ah, I understand. In my days they were called the gun controllers," Rigo said.
"Well, time changes, hurry and tell them," James said.
"I already did," Rigo said.
"Oh, this fast?" James said.
"We have created an inner closed circuit for our communication," Rigo explained.
"That seems nice, does this circuit have a range limit?"
"No, it can work even between galaxies."
James looked in doubt towards Rigo then he decided not to ask about details, as he had a hunch he wouldn't understand a word out of it.
"Can you install this communication circuit in my ship?"
"You mean that little cruiser? I don't know from where you have this confidence in it. If it was an intermediate cruiser, then I might believe you, but this?
C'mon, this is just a tiny ship that could be blasted by the engine waves of the large cruisers," Rigo said while pointing out towards the distance where the small cruiser laid silently. James laughed as he replied:
"Don't underestimate her, this baby can really give you some surprises."
"I will see," Rigo said laughing with him. The two marched towards the small cruiser at the same time a group of 20 droids of different races appeared way behind them from the shadows of the destroyed warship.
James entered the cruiser first after waiting for those 20 droids to come here. Each droid was distinctive from the race it was from by two long shiny lines extending from the top of their heads, passing through their arms and legs.
Each race had a different color code that held a meaning, but James didn't know what these meanings were, and he didn't care to ask. Once everyone followed him inside, he turned to look at them at the wide hall as he said:
"Distribute yourselves in the cruiser, and get familiar with the canons here and engines. This cruiser had many canons, which are controlled by my cruiser system. I will release the system control over these canons, so feel free to test them here, Rigo you come with me."
Everyone looked at each other while their minds were thinking the same idea, this was their first time to hear about a small cruiser system that could control the canons.
Rigo just gave them a silent meaningful glance before following James towards the commanding deck, where it was surprised to see Eli, and James was right next to her. He was checking her vitals and made sure she was still alive.
"Is she with you, supreme leader?"
"Yes," James replied briefly while he moved towards the front commanding unit. He sat on his seat while taking out the data storage stick while saying:
"How can I plug this stick to the system?"
Rigo understood James' confusion, as the tech of their old times was already forgotten. It then moved to help James linking this stick to the main system, which acknowledged the data in a short time and uploaded it with unparalleled speed.
"What is wrong with this system? Is this a small cruiser system?"
James enjoyed the shock lock over Rigo's face while saying with pride:
"Are you convinced now? Sit and let's run the diagnostic check before we set off."
"Affirmative."
Rigo then sat on the second chair beside James as he started to act as a co-pilot to him. James first lifted the system control over the weapon systems then he started to run a diagnostic test over the whole ship.
As he waited for the test to finish, his eyes were focused over the sleeping Eli, he now knew what happened to her. He sighed as he muttered very softly:
"Don't worry, Eli dawn, I will save you for sure."

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
