《Rise of the Forgotten》Ch. 24 Slaughter, Job Done, and Unexpected Encounter

Advertisement

I instantly appeared in front of one of them. They backed up quickly and tried to shoot me. I swiped the halberd with one hand and cut his head off. They would receive no mercy from me. The halberd was infused with fire energy and cauterized cut. I then turned to the next one that fired a couple of shots at me. They hit my armour and did nothing to it. I then lunged at them and cut them half before jumping to the next one. I killed four of them before encountering some resistance.

The last three were a cut above the rest as they put up differing amounts of resistance. The first one was able to block my first strike and was launched across the room. I then launched toward her and stabbed her in the heart, killing her. The next one attacked me as I finished off the first one. They attacked with a war axe and hacked at me. I blocked the attack easily. They then attacked again trying to not give me any time to attack back. While they did that the last one also attacked me from behind with a mace.

I noticed and quickly moved away. Now they both faced me. They attacked together one going for the front and the other going for my right. The halberd was in my left hand. I then pulled out my pistol and shot one as I split the other from their right shoulder to the left hip. Both lied dead at my feet. I then walked to the ship, the entire fight only took a couple of seconds. The guards were stunned seeing how ruthless I was taking them down. Most encounters were dealt with at range so there wasn't any chance to show how brutal I could be.

I quickly had them board the ship and alerted the guards on the station of the attack. I also provided video evidence about the attack. Granted it was only the beginning of the attack but was enough to prove our innocence and call it self-defense. Plus it was guard duty so we got more leeway than usual.

Once we boarded the ship we quickly left the station. Once we were a good distance away from the station we slipped into Sub-Space and warped away.

A week later we arrived at Gantaris. Once we arrived we contacted Nadira's father that we arrived in the system. He directed us to a private part of the spaceport that surrounded the planet. The system had a large fleet filled with ships both new and old. We arrived at the private dock quickly and landed.

Once landed Nadira and her staff left the ship with me and Arthur. Nadira's father met us outside the ship. Nadira rushed to her father and hugged him tightly. She had been through a lot with having multiple attempts at her life and seeing multiple people bisected, stabbed, and have holes blasted through their heads. She would need therapy. Maybe a little bit of medication.

Nadira's father, Daren, looked down at her and gave her a loving smile. He then raised his head and looked at me and Arthur. "Good job. I've received reports about the incidents that have occurred. You guys have done an excellent job of protecting my daughter. I hope that you may be available for more jobs in the future."

"If I'm free then I'm free. If not then I'm not." I said.

"You can rely on me and my men if you need it. Though I will need a new ship, my old blew up, and the remaining crew left. They are now a part of other ships and until I get a new ship I don't think they will come back." Arthur said. A very honorable person. He also looked very much like Arthur featured in the legends and media of the subsequent centuries. He had golden blonde hair, crystal blue eyes, and a handsome face. He is also 1.8 meters tall and muscular. He is also quite talented in combat and command. If trained properly he would make an excellent general, maybe even a king.

"Ah yes. That is an issue for you. Well, I will just compensate you for that then. Ships are expensive so that is all that will be given to you. You deserve it." Daren said.

We spoke a bit more and he delivered the materials I requested. He was a bit concerned about where I was going to put them as they took up a lot of space in the large hanger we were in. I told him not to worry about it. He then left with Nadira saying to use the hanger for as long as I liked. I had Nadira return the jewelry I gave her. It was very valuable and advanced. Arthur and his remaining crew also returned their gear to me, albeit very hesitantly. I gave them some different gear for their cooperation during the mission. It wasn't as advanced or good as the previous gear but still top of the line in the galaxy. They thanked me and left.

After we were alone I had Aldion take control of the surveillance systems for the hanger and play a loop of some fake footage. I then told him to make the ship bigger as I looked for some people that would become my crew. Aldion suggested a crew of 2 medical officers, a second in command, a pilot and co-pilot, a navigation specialist, a couple of security/combat officers, a research specialist, a chef, and a couple more to file out the roles so that people wouldn't be overloaded with work. We needed no engineers as Aldion would take care of it faster than any of them could, plus the technological gap between the galaxy and the Empire was just too vast. The other could be trained to use the systems and tools available since they didn't need to understand it.

Aldion got to work with his nanomachines and processed the materials so that they could be used. I left the hanger and searched for a place I could rest at. I found one promptly as the private hangar in the port was close to where some hotels and such were at. I entered one that had very good reviews while being affordable. I rented a room for a week and then left to go eat, I was quite famished at the moment.

Finding a nice restaurant I entered and sat down looking at the menu. I ordered my food and searched for the crewmates I was looking for as I waited. The food came quickly and I ate while searching.

I couldn't find anyone that could fit my requirements until I felt something. I felt a connection to some people that were somewhere in the port. I stopped eating and closed my eyes to hone in on this feeling. I concentrated on the feeling until I could feel where the people were at. They were currently walking in my general direction. As they got closer I knew who they were. They are Omegians. They are my people. I suddenly paid for my food and left the restaurant. I walked to a large group of people. I stopped in front of them and they stopped as well.

One approached me. They appeared to be an elderly man that had seen many things. He arrived in front of me. "Are you an Alpha?" He spoke in a weathered voice. He wasn't using the translator in the system and spoke in the native language. I knew that this wasn't being translated for other people. The system never translated our native language to other people. Never.

"I am The Alpha. I am The Sixth Alpha. You are my people." I spoke back also in the native language. There was silence when they heard me speak until one of the elderly started to cry. They cried tears of joy. I could feel it. Others started to tear up as well. I quickly motioned for them to follow me, I couldn't have them make a scene in the open. They nodded and I started to move as they followed.

I took them to the hangar where the ship was as my hotel room was too small. Once we arrived I saw the sight of my ship expanding itself with trillions of nanomachines taking materials apart and joining them together. The people behind me were also stunned as well but recovered quickly. They then immediately kneeled before me and cried out. "We greet Alpha, our leader."

"I greet you, my people. Now rise. I apologize for not looking for you any sooner, I got distracted." I said as I helped one of them rise. The rest raised soon after.

"You need not worry about that Alpha. We are glad that we found you. We can now serve you like our ancestors before us." One of them said.

"How many Omegians are there out in the universe that you know of. Now that you have found me I believe that it is time to reunite the rest of the people." I asked them. They looked at each other before one spoke out.

"Sir, we do not know. Over the years the Omegians have split off into multiple groups with different ideologies. We are only a part of one of these groups. We found you by accident on the search for you, others are also looking for you as we speak."

"That is good. But you mentioned something about multiple groups. Tell me about them." I said. They looked at each other before one came forward with an awkward look on their face. I had a bad feeling about this.
