《Emperor's Journey》16.Conspiracy I
Advertisement
In the unknown galaxy, two groups of people were having a meeting in a isolated dessert. Both groups were heavily armed based on the weaponry that both teams displayed.
Both sides were holding the same briefcase but the content might be different because their bodies movement.
"You got the item?"
"You know me."
"You never cease to amuse me, Ford."
"If I fail to get the item, then my name should change from Ford the Jack of All Trade to Ford the Liar."
The huge humanoid beast said as he posed himself like a model displaying his large muscles. His bulky body made some people to think twice before picking a fight with him.
"At least, you still have your humors."
The triceratop who address himself as "Jack of All Trade" was wondering why did this customer of his was buying some odd yet rare items.
"So what's the goods is for?"
"Ford oh Ford. There are things which we should avoid especially things that doesn't concern us."
The figure replied with a glare filled with hostility to which nearly lead the meeting toward a bloodbath scene. Both sides had their arsenals aiming at each other.
"Alright, I was just curious. No need for such to stare at me like that."
"My business motto is "you bring me the money, I bring you the goods"."
"And that's it. My customers privacy, I will not pry upon."
Said the triceratop with his hands raised in "surrendered". When the hostile atmosphere was dissolved, both sides lowered their weapons simultaneously.

At the outskirt of the meeting, a medium size crater just emerged. Thick black smoke was released from it where the visibility of the smoke could be caught on sight.
Busters were hovering in the air searching for the survivors. The infrantry units were patrolling the perimeter. The battalion did not know that a secret meeting as being held near them.

[Ground unit, anything?]
[Negative.]
[Buster?]
[Negative.]
A humanoid salmon like entity was overseeing the operation from a cruiser class warship just above the planet's atmosphere.
'Where?! Where is that bastard had gone?!'
'I need to find him as soon as possible.'
This entity was known as Captain Quan, one of the successful people within the EF military. He was promoted to Captain after his several achievement within the war with the United Cosmos Alliance(UCA).
He was a person with calculative mindset. He would plan first before executing it because one must be cautious in his conduct or else something bad would happen.
The current situation was presumely not in his favor as his soldiers did not find any corpse or remnant which belong to Jabbra.
"What should I do?"
The captain was murmuring in distress. Their nation had only a few hours left or else the ICE will mobilise their troops.
Currently, some battalions had been stationed in several sectors near the EF border. When the time is up, these soldiers will strike with the heaviest strike one could get.
If other say that they will destroy a large organisation, people would think that he is insane. But this perspective did not applied to the Imperial Chrome Empire.
If they say it, then they will execute it because they never bluff when it comes to war. If anyone dares to disturb the interest of the Chromian, then be prepare for the worst retaliation one could ever imagine.

In the Zestra nebula, a human was chasing after a lizardman who was crawling in despair, trying to escape from his pursuer who was walking toward him in a calm manner.
"Lord Cavity, where are going?"
"Are you trying to avoid me, old friend?"

The movement of the human was so natural that one could mistake him as a person meeting an old friend. Each steps resonated like a rhythm to the extend that the thought of the human murdering his comrade would never come across one's thought.
"Rex. Can…we sort…this out?"
"I would love to help you…"
"Then, can you really tell them to withdraw their accusition?"
"But…"
The word "but" said by the human known as Rex sent a chilling sensation to Cavity, the lizardman. He had a bad premonition since he had been cornered by a single person.
The person chasing him now may looked innocent but he had the authority to execute any escaping criminals, fugitives or even traitors depending on the severity of the crime they commited.
If a person committed had a grave crime, death sentence will be in order. Only a few knew about this organisation which lurking in the shadow maintaining the public safety while reducing the corruption rate in a certain superpower.
The members were least in quantity but each of their quality was a top notch, one man army if one might describe them. They occupied all the classes of the citizen but they answered only the Overseer of the organisation or the founder and leader.
"You have comitted a grave mistake, milord."
"I'm afraid that you're too dangerous to be keep alive."
Rex who was resting both hands behind his back the entire time pull something out from it. A blue glowing gun was visible on sight.
'Where were those idiots?!'
'They should be here by now.'
The sight of his anxious target was spotted by the "hunter". He knew that something was odd but he decided to test his theory.
"There's no need to wait for back up."
Rex calmly "reassure" the lizardman as he tossed a badge which had a symbol of a lion on a shield with a sword facing down behind the former.
The lizardman looked at the badge and knew that something went wrong as the human remained calm in any tense situation such as facing an army of mercenaries.
'He's good-'
'No. Each one of them is an excellent assassin.'
Cavity was shivering sensed knowing death was just around the corner. The blue gun had its barrel aiming at the center of between the eyebrows.

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
