《Gumtree Loneliness》★ Lan Aikman intervenes ★

Corba
Corba is a large planet, with a civilization that probably has the most advanced technology in the entire universe. This is one thing that the Redellas are envious about. The planet Redel is incredibly small compared to Corba and another thing is that the planet Redel is on the verge of exploding. The planet is dying. Ten years ago the Corban and Redella government made a deal - once Redel is approximately 6 months from exploding, all Redellas are apparently welcome to move to Corba and live on Corba. The plan was something that all Redellas were happy about. But when Lan Aikman became the master of the Redella nation the intention of happiness faded away as he believed that the Corbans were not willing to allow every single Redella to live on Corba. According to the Corbans: Lan Aikman is a terrible man. All he strives for is power and wealth. He was one of the Redellas that was extremely jealous of the Corbans. Some say that Lan Aikman dreamt of actually being a Corban as a young boy. The Redellas do not have any type of magical power that the Corbans have. All that the Redellas can do is fly, as they are born with a set of wings. The power of flight must have been not enough for Lan Aikman. He is certainly a greedy man.
Jaffa's mother named Mayrose tries to escape the hold of one of the Redella soldiers.
"Let me go!" Screams Mayrose.
"Master Aikman will talk to you!" The solider shouts in Mayrose's ear.
"Talk to me!?" Mayrose shouts back as she further tries to escape the soldier's grip.
"You escaped to call your son, but how can you possibly call your son when all of the Corban citizens are locked up!? Is he not on Corba?"

Mayrose's heart immediately pounds fast against her chest. What is she going to say to the powerful master of the Redellas?
Earth
Felicia watches Jaffa panicky throw his clothes and other items in his suitcase.
"Jaffa, uh Jaffa I have to come with you." Felicia announces with severe concern in her tone.
"You can't Felicia. You are human and I wouldn't want the Redellas or even the Corbans finding out that you are human."
"I can blend in. I will dye my hair or something-"
"Felicia, no-no you have been through too much emotional burden from the humans. I can't let you face an even more emotional burden from the Redellas and the Corbans."
Felicia suddenly walks over to Jaffa and takes both of Jaffa's hands. "Jaffa, I don't care about humans, Corbans, Redellas and their painful ways. I just want to be with you. I want to help you, like you are helping me. You accept me Jaffa, and if I let you go to Corba with just your brother - I will be extremely worried about you both. Leaving me on earth will cause me more pain than I ever had."
Jaffa stares at Felicia for a few seconds. "If they hurt you...I don't know what I'll do. Felicia you don't know me well. You don't know how powerful I can get. I don't just mind-read. I have a hidden power that shows when I am angry!"
"You will protect me and I will protect you." Felicia sternly says.
Marcus suddenly bursts in the room with his two suitcases.
"Ready to see the nonsense that Lan Aikman has caused, brother?"
"I am."
"And so am I." Felicia says.
"No Jaffa you can't let a poor innocent girl like Felicia come. She doesn't know anything about the power of the Corbans and she doesn't know how evil Lan Aikman is."

Jaffa looks at Felicia. He sees determination in her eyes. "She will come. I will protect her."
"Brother-"
"Not another word Marcus, we got to go damn soon!" Jaffa shouts.
Jaffa opens his suitcase and hands Felicia a packet of blue hair dye.
"You have blue hair dye?"
"Yes, I was going to ask you to dye your hair blue. I think you would look beautiful with blue hair." Jaffa admits.
Marcus rolls his eyes.
Corba
"My son had his phone with him Master."
"Lies, lies, lies. Tell me where your two sons are - otherwise I will whip you so hard that you will be in agony."
Mayrose cries with fear and the chained up Corban next to her says, "Just tell - I can't see someone like you be in agony. I just can't."
"Well?" Master Aikman asks.
Earth
Marcus, Jaffa and Felicia walk together though the Gumtree forest. Suddenly Felicia spots the vintage house she was locked up in a while back. I need to be stronger than I was in that house...I need to be there for Jaffa and Marcus, Felicia thinks.
"We are nearly to the Galaxy 202." Marcus says.
"The what?"
"The spaceship that will take us to the wormhole." Jaffa states.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
