《Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness》Chapter 54: Ten Minutes Only, No Second More

She held the handles again, which activated the automatic shooting system of this cannon. At once, her screen flashed with surprisingly twelve dots representing twelve living targets. She didn't expect their number to be this high, she thought they were four up to five of them.
She felt more gratitude to whoever saved her life at this moment, and as she was feeling this positive, her cannon screamed with repetitive shots one after another targeting these enemies.
Not all of them were on the same line of sight or aim for her, so some pulses hit the racks inside this armor causing multiple explosions that caused the armory to tremble a little, yet she didn't let go of her handles.
She knew as long as she held the handles, the cannon wouldn't stop firing until all living targets were killed, so she didn't trust those explosions and trusted the system of this cannon.
She was lucky to judge right this time, as not all of them died under these pulses or explosions. Some were wearing guarding suits that absorbed much of the firepower of the cannon pulses. That was evident on her little screen, and before the cannon could rain fire again, she was heavily attacked as retaliation from those survivors.
The cannon activated the defense shield pulses, which had the ability to absorb nearly fifty percent of a full pulse cannon fire, so it had no issue at all withstanding all these small weak pulses and shots from their personal guns.
As she was secured, the cannon regained its offense and started to rain fire over their heads. This time, the number of them was shortened to less than one quarter, as there were only three of them still standing. Killing them was a breeze task for that cannon, which began to cool off after that.
Dora looked at it and sighed, if she had the ability to keep that thing, she would be happy as it felt more secure having it alongside her, but she couldn't. moving around with this big cannon was very tiring after all.

She sighed as the light miraculously returned again to shine the whole place like daylight. She left the cannon and moved with wide steps towards the bodies of these fallen soldiers. Once she reached there she froze, as those weren't the Immortal soldiers, they were part of her own force.
'What the hell?!!'
She moved towards one of them to have a clear view, he was really part of her private army. Her mind began to spin creating questions without any answers. She didn't believe it at first, so she began to roam the place checking the twelve bodies lying dead on the floor.
'They are all part of her squadron, what is going on here? is she..., oh no, that means everything is at risk now.'
Her face became ashen white as she began to picture all the possible scenarios to the effects of such treason, and each one of them was extremely bad. She felt shock, sadness, and anger towards such treason, especially because she was so kind to her. How could she do something this awful to her?
'I have to find a way to warn them, everyone there is at risk, also James' fleet is also at risk. I have to find a small controlling unit somewhere here and try to send a message out for them.'
Dora was nervous, and she began to panic. This treason came at a critical time, and she could do nothing to retaliate. All she could do was damage control only. although she had many questions and doubts, she didn't hesitate to exit the armory and head straight towards the nearest secondary control unit.
The unit was ten minutes away from the armory, and fifteen minutes away from the main deck, creating a triangle with both of them. Dora moved with haste as she wanted to alarm everyone, however just as she passed through the passage leading to the armory, a screen popped up in front of her. It wasn't a single screen, as all the monitoring screens here projected the same thing, the distasteful face of that Immortal.

"Dora, why are you so late? I'm getting bored with my child, and your mother is really tempting. Look at her body, what a figure!���
The screen then moved a little showing her mother, tied to a sofa with her body naked except from her thin slim underwear. Dora's mind froze as she didn't expect that Immortal to be this low.
"See? She is really good, and I believe you have other things in your little mind to do, so I will leave you to do whatever you want and I will do whatever I desire. By the way, do you want the feed to be on? if you want to listen to your mother moans, then I won't mind sharing the fun with you. What do you think?"
This time Dora couldn't control herself, she abandoned any prior plans of alarming anyone and moved straight forward towards the armory. She grabbed that big pulse cannon and moved carrying it with extreme anger and hatred towards the main deck.
The cannon was somehow heavy, but she didn't feel its weight amidst her stormy feelings. Every step she took was like a burning fire that ignited her more, as only one idea possessed her mind right now.
She would blast a hole in the main cruiser's body and let the space decide if this man was really Immortal or not.
"Well, I will be fair to you, I will give you ten minutes, ten minutes only. if you don't show your little self here by then, I will enjoy this feast and I will broadcast it to you so you can enjoy with me," his face then closed in to fill the whole screen with his vicious features as he threatened:
"Ten minutes only, no second more or you know the consequences."
The screen then shifted again towards her mother showing her alluring sexy body. Dora felt more fire inside her, as she tried to run faster. Her mind tried to warn her, this was obviously a trap, but her vengeance was stronger.
"I won't make you wait for long, bastard."
Dora screamed with extreme anger as she passed through a crossing between multiple paths. She had to take the north path, but as she was about to set foot there, the door suddenly closed in a move that she didn't expect, so she slammed the door heavily with her body to fall on the ground rolling a couple of times.
She stood up angrily looking towards that segmental door and her mind was out of work right now, her anger was controlling every reaction from her, so she took the pulse gun, activated it tripod and launched a strike blasting the door and part of the path into shreds.
"Nothing would stop me from getting there, do you hear me bastard? Nothing!"
She deactivated the cannon and resumed her run towards the commanding deck.
On the other side, James had also seen that broadcast and the threat coming from that Immortal. He gritted his teeth, as he knew that this was only a play between the traitor mother and that Immortal. He had heard every single word the two exchanged.

Return Of The Frozen Player
5 years after the world changed, the final boss appeared.
8 622Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!
8 190People. Harmony. Dysfunction
[Hiatus]People are extraordinary. They are glorious, chaotic, imaginative, grim, all kinds of smart and driven. They are capable of living in harmony or incredible destruction. They can be both caring and loyal but vicious and self-centred. However, Olivia wished that the first year of her PhD didn't have to showcase quite so much of the melting pot. People. Harmony. Dysfunction. is a story that follows a research group through the drama and challenges life throws at them. It has an (unspecified) modern setting and focuses on the characters. I've tried to rate this pre-emptively, but unfortunately it might change as the story evolves.
