《Burn Archer》Thirteen- Earth's Doom

'Look to your right. And you will see me.'
I gazed at the woman before me. The elegant lady had flawless features but if it wasn't for her eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell that she was probably very old. They seemed as if they had suffered the most painful memories and been through a lifetime worth of adventure.
I stared at her for a few seconds as I snatched my headphones out.
"Now, you must listen to me very carefully."
Her voice was sweet yet croaky. "I'm about to warn you about something very important."
"Planet Zeig has taken centuries to become what is has become now, and they won't be taking any actions on any of your problems, anytime soon."
"But-" I began. How the hell did she know of my problems?
"They're good people," she paused "but you're going to have to do something yourself, and fast before your home gets destroyed."
Curiosity and desperation took control of my words. "How do I do it?"
"I can't tell you that, but I will tell you a vital piece in your plan," she whispered as she leaned in, her tight bun starting to unfold.
My eagerness for her advice was taking over.
"There is a spaceship hidden near the east of the Strawberry River, and you'll know where it is when your facing straight towards it from the old palm tree. You can use the spaceship to get to the Oagle's mother planet."
"Why should I trust a word you say? You could be leading me into a trap," I asked. I had said this out of formality, but deep in my heart I knew she could be trusted. She reminded me of my mother. The way her eyes bags wrinkled kindly as her smile reached it.

"I think we both quite know how desperate you are."
"Who even are you? How do you everything about me? Why do you care?"
She smiled again. "That's all I can tell you, sweetie, now it's up to both of you."
I searched the dance floor to find the person that she was referring to, but when I couldn't find anyone, I turned to look at her.
"Who's is this second person that you-" I started but she was gone.
Doesn't that only happen in movies? I thought. But again, I was in a dance party with a bunch of aliens- on another planet.
I set the plate beside me, since I'd lost my appetite, and roughly sketched the things the lady had told me.
I glanced at my phone. 20:00. Time to go.
On the drive back, most people had fallen asleep but I was staring out the window. At the corner of my eye, I could feel Ash staring at me.
"S-so are you gonna actually go?" he whispered as we pulled up near the palace.
I stared at him closely for a few moments, trying to figure out how he knew about it. "Of course, not," I replied.
After getting back, I hurried into my room to change into a formal dress. I was already running late so I sprinted down the dark palace corridors but, me being my stupid self, I got lost.
My feet refused to move when I came across a glowing sign that said, 'DANGER ROOM'. I switched the lights on as I entered.
"Whoa," I exclaimed at the marvel of the room.
The shelves contained millions of weapons. It was filled with weaponry that I hadn't ever seen, nor even thought of in my wildest dreams.

Footsteps echoed into my ear so I slipped out into the corridor and pressed myself into the darkness.
The footsteps faded quickly, just as they had arrived.
"Oh my god."
I soon found the grand hall, but entering it made me sick to the stomach. Everyone glared at me in with ugly expressions except, of course, Ivory who was beaming brightly.
"I haven't seen you all day! Come sit-" Ivory exclaimed.
"But your human friend is late, if you hadn't noticed."
The voice had come from a large rabbit that scrunched her face at me. I heard Eleanor let out a giggle as I made my way over to an empty seat in a table of representatives from various alien groups. The Mayas were sitting across from me.
"This is my mother, Burn," Ivory said politely, staring at her feet.
"Alright, what are we gonna do for Earth? It's dying like all of your planets," I started confidently.
A slim lady with blue skin stood up. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Sasha, from Gale. And as for your question, we do nothing. Just like we've been doing for decades. This planet will attack when it's ready and if that takes centuries, then that's that. Meeting over."
"No! Meeting not over. You can't do that!" I shouted, pushing my seat back as I stood up. "Everyone on the planet will burn!There are people there who'll just burn! My parents might already be dead by now".
"We don't have more resources and space for a whole planet to migrate here," the woman said impatiently.
I hit the table angrily. "You're just gonna let me slowly rot on this planet while I watch humanity rub off from existence?" I leaned into her face like a snake. "Do you really think I'll stand for that?!"
"Don't need to get angry about it!" I heard an old man shout.
"Not get angry about it?! Are you crazy? My people are going to die because of those mental- power hungry- aliens and none of you will help!"
"We've all experienced it! You need to get over yourself," a felv hissed as she arose from her seat.
"Oh, so this is about revenge? Everybody must stay unhappy and people must die because the same happened to you!?"
Soon, everyone on the table was screaming at me. I threw harsh words back at every one of them at the top of my lungs.
"I don't even need any of your stupid help because all of you are just going to watch this universe wither away and do nothing about it as they get stronger!" I roared as I fought back tears. "All of you are murderers!"
As I ran out the door, I made eye contact with Ivory who gave me an apologetic smile, which I returned. I slammed the grand door behind me, storming out.
I wasn't angry or sad anymore. I was furious.
I snatched a backpack from my closet, throwing in things I would need on a trip.
I was going to need some weapons, and it so happens that I know exactly where to find it, I thought to myself.
As I strapped the backpack on, I slipped the tissue, that I had written the spaceship's address on, into my pocket.
I retraced my steps to the Danger Room. I entered, leaving my eyes stunned when I saw a surprise that I did not expect.
"What are you doing here-"
