THE PRIVATE CHAMBERS OF LORD-KING LUXOR PRONOS

  THE ROYAL HOUSE OF PRONOS

  THE ROYAL CITY

  PLANET GUARDINAS

  ZAGREUS GALACTIC SECTOR

  UPON CLOSING HIS ‘PERSONAL HOLO-LOG’ the Guardinian Lord-King Luxor Pronos pulled out the ‘mini-flash drive looking-device’ that was connected to his personal holo-log system.

  “Are you done yet, Your Grace,” asked a worrisome-looking Lieutenant Dexius Solas, who wore a ‘tattered, black-leather-like’ armored jumpsuit.

  With his Pulsar Auto-Rifle in hand, Dexius waited at his King’s side as the Vexans started to breach the Royal Palace.

  With the ‘Lady-Princess’ Ashanna away in her private chamber, packing her things for her journey to the not too distant planet of ‘Aeshlara’... EARTH, Luxor remained in his own chamber.

  SUDDENLY, Dexius’s sweaty and cut up face ‘flashed with fear’ as he snapped, “MY KING… I have just received word that the Vexans have BREACHED the Royal Palace! We must escape while we still can!!!”

  Luxor kept his eyes looking down at an old ‘holo’ of himself, his wife, the Lady-Queen Andridia (who had been away on diplomatic talks in the neighboring city of ‘Radandia’ when the Vexan Invasion first began), his eldest son, the Lord-Prince Lanteus (who he had just learned lost his life in combat against the Brothers Vexas in the Barren Outlands), his other son, the Lord-Prince Lerrick (who had been captured for ‘grand ransom’ by life-forceless crewmembers of the fearsome ‘marauder-captain’ Qullos Zsolaar when he a mere six-cycles-old only to be never returned), and his ‘still living’ daughter, the Lady-Princess Ashanna.

  “There is no ‘escape’ for me, boy,” King Luxor grimly replied whilst staring down at his family’s holo with a broken look in his weary, turquoise-colored eyes.

  “My King… WHAT IN THE STARBLAZES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT,” Dexius asked in ‘crazed-confusion’. “Of course there is!”

  “No… There isn’t. There is only enough room for two passengers aboard the Escape Shuttle Pod… And I intend for those two to be you and Ashanna.”

  “What are you saying???”

  “I am saying that I shall not be joining you two on your voyage. I shall remain here… And await my judgment… MY PUNISHMENT.”

  Thinking that the Lord-King was ‘thracking crazy’, Dexius recklessly grabbed hold of his arm with his free hand and started to drag him along.

  “No! I am not leaving you, Your Grace,” Dexius stated firmly as he tried and failed to pull King Luxor along with him.

  Gritting his teeth, the white-bearded and long-haired, ‘tunic-wearing’ guardinian ruler pulled Dexius back and threw him against a wall made of impenamite bricks.

  Pinning him up in the impenawall with his right forearm placed against his chest, King Luxor blared in the Blue Guardian’s bronze-skinned ‘war-weary’ face, “I said that I am not going with you, Dexius!!!”

  With fear now showing in his own turquoise eyes, the Lieutenant fumbled, “But… But if you stay here, Your Grace… You shall be killed.”

  “Yes, I shall,” King Luxor nodded. “AND I DESERVE IT.”

  “Whu-What do you mean?”

  “Long ago, towards the end of the first ‘Pyramid War’, I extinguished the Brothers Vexas’s father’s life-force, Validax. For some strange reason, I have always known that he would be avenged by his heirs one day-cycle… And that ‘cursed’ day-cycle has finally come, Dexius. I can no longer run from it.

  “I must stay here and await my punishment… And you and my daughter MUST go. Take the Pyramid of Power, the other Guardian Energy Shifters, and go to planet ‘Aeshlara’... Also known as ‘Earth’, which is approximately one sector over from ours in the ‘Saauda’ Galactic Sector.

  “Once there, you must find a man named ‘Castron Lakarias’. He shall aid you both in your ‘new’ life-cycles on the aeshlaran home world. Once you have found and have come in contact with ‘Lord Lakarias’, I order you to select ‘six champions’ who be worthy enough to wield the Energy Shifters’ godly might and powers so you ‘chosen seven’ can bring an end to the Vexan Empire’s ‘reign of tyranny and terror’ across the starways… ONCE AND FOR ALL. Tis too late for me and this world, boy… But it is not too late for you and Ashanna. Now go, Lord-Guardian… Dexius. RUN… While you still can.”

  The Guardinian King then released the shocked and confused Blue Guardian from his grip as he continued, “I shall buy you and Ashanna enough time for your escape for as long as I can. Now go… Begone with thyself!”

  Dexius did not run, as instructed… ORDERED. He just stood still whilst trying to assess the ‘current situation’ that was at hand.

  Lowering his brow, King Luxor screamed in a rage, “I SAID GO!!!”

  Filled with immediate fear, Dexius, without speaking, bolted away towards Lady-Princess Ashanna’s Personal Chamber whilst King Luxor stayed behind to contend with the dreaded ‘four-heads’ of the Vexan Empire.

  Whilst King Luxor had Dexius pinned up against the wall, he secretly placed the ‘mini-flash drive’ looking holo-recorder device, which contained his ‘final address to the six new champions of the currently ‘championless’ Guardian Energy Shifters’, on the young soldier’s uniform in hopes that he would discover it later on.

  _

  KA-KRAM!

  “AHHHH!!!!!” Princess Ashanna squealed in fright after Dexius had ‘blasted down’ the ‘formerly’ locked sliding doors to her Personal Chamber with his ‘Special Guardian Power’ of ‘Sonic Wave Emission’.

  “TIS ONLY I, YOUR MAJESTY! LIEUTENANT SOLAS,” Dexius revealed as he held up his free, ‘black-armored-gloved’ left hand towards the terrified Guardinian Royal, who was currently ‘cowering’ in her massive hovering bed.

  “DEXIUS?!” Princess Ashanna blurted out in ‘confused-shocked’ as the Blue Guardian Warrior stood strongly before her with a ‘grandly stirred’ expression on his chiseled, bronze-skinned, and slightly ‘cut-up’ face. “What are you doing here? Where are the others?? WHERE’S LANTEUS???”

  “There is no time to explain, Princess. We must leave… AT ONCE!!!”

  “Leave??? Whu-Where are we going, Dex?”

  “All shall be explained to you later,” Dexius replied whilst taking the Lady-Princess’s right wrist forcibly with his left hand. “WE MUST GO!!!”

  As Dexius proceeded to ‘drag’ the Princess of Guardinas out of her chamber, she angrily demanded, “Whu-Wait! STOP! What is happening, Dexius? DEXIUS?! DEXIUS, STOP! AS DAUGHTER OF THE ROYAL LORD-KING LUXOR PRONOS, I COMMAND THEE TO…”

  Having enough of the Lady-Princess’s words, Dexius jolted her with the ‘electronic amplifier’ that was implanted in his armored glove, rendering her harmlessly ‘unconscious’ for the time being.

  “Urgh… Thrack me,” Dexius cursed at himself after hoisting Princess Ashanna over his left shoulder.

  The Blue Guardian Warrior then carried the ‘shocked unconscious’ Guardinian Royal out of her Personal Chamber and headed for the ‘secret launch pad’ that was built beneath the Royal House of Pronos… WHERE THE ESCAPE SHUTTLE POD WAS LOCATED.

  _

  THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

  With his eyes directed towards the Royal Throne Room’s sliding door entryway, King Luxor sat atop of his Royal Throne as he heard the ‘stomping footsteps’ of the Vexan Empire’s ELITE foot soldiers… THE VEXAN WARTROOPERS, growing louder and fiercer with each passing milli-cycle.

  KA-BLAM!!!

  IMMEDIATELY AFTER BLASTING OPEN the entryway to the Royal Throne Room off its track, SEVERAL ‘hunchbacked’, five-foot-tall Vexan Wartroopers infested the room like a swarm of Pharkitt Stingers (which were a species of native, venomous insects of the planet Guardinas).

  Their ‘slimy, pale green-skinned’ heads were covered by their night-cycle black, fiery-red spiked battle helms as their four glowing, blood-red-eyes were protected by crimson protective lenses… Which were also glowing.

  With Pulsar Arm Cannons encasing their left hands all the way up their elbows, and ‘Anti-Grav Packs’ strapped their armored backsides, the multiple ‘kill-squads’ of Wartroopers aimed their incredibly deadly energy weapons at the brave Guardinian Lord-King whilst the four, ‘dark-hooded-cloaked’ sons and HEIRS of former ‘Vexan Lord-Emperor’ Validax Vexas entered the throne room soon after.

  Standing before King Luxor now were the Vexan Lord-Princes Axius, Drellix, the ‘eight-foot-tall BRUTE’ Titanus… AND ‘CURRENT’ LORD-EMPEROR VENTRIX VEXAS.

  Throwing back his cloak’s hood, Ventrix revealed his true face to King Luxor.

  The Lord-Emperor bore a thin mustache on his lip that was connected to a finely trimmed and pointed ‘goatee’ that covered his chin, long night-cycle black, ‘silk-like’ war-braided hair that ran down past his shoulders, and four, blood-red horns that protruded from the upper corners of his slightly protruding forehead.

  Ventrix also had a long, fresh slash that ran over his two right sets of eyes that he had gained with his most recent, final duel of the now deceased ‘Red Guardian Warrior’ Lanteus Pronos.

  The Lord-Emperor glared fiercely at King Luxor whilst his younger brothers proceeded to throw back their cloak hoods as well.

  Lord-Prince Axius had short-trimmed black hair in the style of a ‘Caesar Cut’ with just a black mustache.

  Lord-Prince Drellix had his hair cut into a ‘warhawk’ style with a finely-trimmed-beard that ran along his jawline.

  And last… But certainly ‘not least’ was the ‘giant-like’ Vexan Lord-Prince Titanus, who also bore a warhawk like his older brother Drellix, but with its longer ends being warbraided, like his eldest brother Ventrix’s. He also had a thick, mustache/beard combo facial hair style with ‘razor sharp, sharkish-teeth’ and one big ‘blood-red horn’ jutting out the middle of his forehead.

  “Grandest greetings… VENTRIX,” King Luxor bitterly said whilst the Lord-Emperor continued to glare at him wordlessly.

  “Well… What are you skoggers waiting for??? THRACKING KILL HIM,” Lord-Prince Drellix raged at the Wartrooper foot soldiers.

  Drellix had ‘bright green blood-soaked’ bandage wrapped over where his right hand used to be after losing it in a pulsar saber duel to the Lord-Prince Lanteus.

  “NO… Not yet,” Ventrix shockingly uttered whilst keeping his glowing eyes LOCKED on the still seated Guardinian Lord-King.

  “WHAT,” Drellix asked with a bewildered expression on his sweaty, cut-up face as he turned towards his eldest brother. “Why the thrack not, Ventrix?!”

  Lord-Prince Titanus then stepped in with his thunderous, ‘world-shaking’ footing to ask in a dumb, ‘childling-like tone’ (due to his brain nearly being the size of a peanut), “WHY CAN’T WE KILL THE ‘PUNY PRONOS’, VENNY???”

  Lowering his ‘dual-brow’, Lord-Emperor Vexas snapped, “I did not trek across TWO GALACTIC SECTORS just to ‘swiftly’ kill this piece of RAXX as if he were nothing! No… If we are to extinguish his absolutely WORTHLESS life-force then we are going to do it my way…. UNDERSTAND???”

  This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

  Drellix and Titanus both then looked at each other and backed down in grand fear of their elder brother’s wrath.

  “Tis what I thought,” the Vexan Lord-Emperor barbed as he still kept his BURNING gaze upon King Luxor.

  “You look like him… Like your father,” King Luxor remarked as he noted the strong resemblance Ventrix had to the ‘former’ Vexan Lord-Emperor. “VALIDAX…”

  “YOU DO NOT GET TO SPEAK HIS ‘HALLOWED’ NAME, YOU RAXX-EATING SKOGGER!!!” Ventrix ragefully ROARED in the Guardinian Lord-King’s wrinkled, bronze-skinned face.

  “Understood,” King Luxor replied in a ‘strangely calm’ tone. “Well… What are you all waiting for? Are you not going to ‘extinguish’ my… OOMPH!”

  In the blink of an eye, Lord-Emperor Vexas powerfully struck the right side of King Luxor’s cheek with the backside of his black gloved right palm, knocking the former ‘White Guardian Warrior’ clear off his throne.

  Once King Luxor had hit the floor… ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE THRONE ROOM, Ventrix bolted towards him in ANOTHER blink of an eye.

  Standing back over him like a ‘dark tower of terror’, Lord-Emperor Vexas mercilessly kicked King Luxor in his abdomen which then, in turn, sent him FLYING up into the air over his slimy head.

  King Luxor then CRASHED DOWN onto a nearby table, splitting it in two.

  The Guardinian Royal now laid upon the table’s wreckage whilst Ventrix sped back over to him again, but this time he pulled King Luxor up in front of his own face.

  “I have been dreaming of this moment ever since the day-cycle that I first heard word of my father’s death,” Ventrix blared in King Luxor’s ‘withering’ face as he delivered a CRUSHING ‘knee strike’ to his gut, knocking the air out of his lungs and breaking ‘a few’ more of his ribs in the process.

  As King Luxor gasped for air, Ventrix sneered as he remorselessly THREW HIM into his throne as if he were a piece of garbage, tipping it over on its backside.

  With the Sole-Ruler of planet Guardinas now lying in a bloody and bruised mess atop his toppled over throne, Lord-Emperor Vexas threw down his hooded cloak to reveal his skin-tight, black and red armored ‘warriors uniform’, which had the Blood-Red ‘V’ crest of the Royal House of Vexas pressed in the center of his breastplate.

  With his eyes locked on King Luxor yet again, Ventrix pulled out an approximately ‘eight-inch-long, black baton-looking object’ from the side of his left hip.

  Pressing a red button in the center of the baton, two long, razor sharp zilitium metal ‘Pulsar Blades’ shot out of each end, making the object over EIGHT FEET LONG now.

  With what was known as his ‘Pulsar Lancer’ weapon now fully drawn out, Ventrix twirled it in his right hand as he started to approach the fallen king.

  JILT!

  “ARGH!!!” King Luxor cried out after Ventrix had PIERCED his right shoulder with the ‘bottom facing blade’ of his Pulsar Lancer.

  BRUTALLY RIPPING the blade out of the royal monarch’s shoulder, causing ‘blue-colored blood’ to shoot up and out from the non-fatal ‘stab wound’, Lord-Emperor Vexas shouted, “THIS IS FOR OUR FATHER, THRACKER! RAH!!!!!!!!”

  Before Ventrix could land his final, KILLING blow on King Luxor, the whole palace suddenly started to shake violently.

  “WHAT THE THRACK IS THIS?!?!” Lord-Emperor Vexas asked angrily whilst the Royal House of Pronos continued to ‘jostle’ and ‘rattle’.

  “A QUAKE!!! RUN!!!” Lord-Prince Titanus frightfully screamed whilst looking up at the throne room’s crumbling ceiling.

  The ‘thunderous clatter’ of the shaking was then broken up by Drellix’s wounded cries, which aggravated Ventrix more than the sudden ‘seismic quake’ did.

  “I have just received a ‘holo-port’ from Commander Thoran from aboard ‘the Decimator’ that an ‘unidentified shuttle’ is currently launching from behind the Royal Palace, Your Majesty,” Axius shouted over the quake’s rattles and Drellix’s screams to Ventrix.

  “A shuttle??? Piloted by whom?!” Ventrix demanded in a borderline ‘crazed’ tone.

  ALL FOUR of the Lord-Emperor’s eyes then widened as he looked down to see that a ‘slight grin’ had peeled open on King Luxor’s bloodied face.

  Lowering his dual-brow once more, Lord-Emperor Vexas demanded from the Guardinian Lord-King, “Who is on that thracking shuttle?!”

  King Luxor did not reply. He merely just kept on grinning.

  As the room continued to shake violently, causing pieces of the ceiling to break and fall down and the impenamite walls to crackle and split, Ventrix fiercely demanded, “WHO IS ON IT?!?!”

  _

  “RAXX!!! RAXX, RAXX, RAXX!!!” Dexius Solas, last of the legendary Guardian Warriors, frantically cursed as he solely piloted the escape shuttle pod out of the underground launch pad that was built beneath/behind the Royal House of Pronos.

  Sitting as his ‘co-pilot’ was the still unconscious Lady-Princess Ashanna.

  Flying up towards the light purple skyways that painted over the Royal City, Dexius came in contact with literal HUNDREDS of ‘Vexan Astro-Warships’ and ‘Vexan Ravager Astro-Fighters’.

  “RAXX!” Dexius cursed again as he narrowly maneuvered past multiple enemy astro-vessels.

  BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

  “Huh? URGH… THRACKING PERFECT,” the Blue Guardian Warrior shouted after being alerted by the escape shuttle pod that a ‘three-vessel unit’ of Ravagers was now tailing both him and the Princess from the rear.

  ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

  KA-BLAM!!!

  “AGH! RAXX,” Dexius cried out after one of the several ‘red pulsar energy shots’ that the three-vessel unit squad of gaining Ravager Astro-Fighters had just fired upon his and Princess Ashanna’s pod struck it in its rear, rattling the whole astro-vessel and its protective ‘force-shield’.

  The Escape Shuttle Pod then shook violently as Dexius tried to dip and dodge the astro-fighters’ constant energy attacks.

  “Come on… COME ON,” Dexius gritted as he ‘climbed up’ towards Outer Space with the pod. “Almost there… Just hold on a bit longer, you thracker!”

  As the pod pierced through the multiple layers of Guardinas’s Atmosphere, it was hit by three more energy shots, with the second knocking out the astro-vessel's force-shield generator and the third striking its power core… CAUSING IT TO IMMEDIATELY START PLUMMETING!

  “NO!!!” Dexius cried out as he kept his hands on the pod’s Flight Control Wheel to desperately try and regain control of the astro-vessel whilst Ashanna’s limp body ‘jostled’ around in her Co-Pilot’s Chair under the ‘Safety Harness Restraints’ that the Blue Guardian had strapped her in before taking off.

  Just when all seemed at an end, the Escape Shuttle Pod’s ‘Backup Power Supply Core’ suddenly (and luckily) activated.

  “YES!!!” the Blue Guardian happily rejoiced once the power had returned to the pod as he then immediately pulled back on the Flight Control Wheel and flew up towards Outer Space again.

  The three Vexan Ravager Astro-Fighters continued to pursue him and the Princess from behind, but Dexius knew that it was almost time for the pod to go into a ‘Quantum Warp Jump’.

  As the Astro-Fighters primed their ‘dual, nose-based Pulsar Cannons’ again, Dexius yelled at the tops of his lungs, “SEE YOU LATER, THRACKERS! RAAAAAH!!!!!!!”

  Dexius then threw the pod’s silver ‘Quantum Warp Jump Control Lever’ forward, causing the pod to enter into a ‘self-created black hole’ (a Quantum Rift Portal), which was generated by its ‘CASTE-III’ Quantum Warp Jump Drive Core (or ‘Quantum Core’), en route to the ‘Saauda Galactic Sector’ (Milky Way).

  _

  “WHERE IS IT?!?!” Lord-Emperor Vexas ragefully demanded whilst he kept King Luxor under one of the ‘two’ blades to his Pulsar Lancer.

  “Huff… Huff… Where is what,” the fading Guardinian Royal panted.

  Growling ferally, Ventrix proceeded to stab King Luxor in his left shoulder now.

  King Luxor then screamed in pure agony as the enraged Vexan Royal dug the pulsar blade deeper into his previously ‘unharmed’ shoulder… Causing the blade’s tip to embed itself in the stone, throne-room floor.

  “WHERE IS THE PYRAMID OF POWER?!?!” the Lord-Emperor demanded in a fiery tone whilst twisting his pulsar blade around in King Luxor’s Shoulder, expanding the wound even more than it already was.

  “Ventrix!” Lord-Prince Axius called out, who was still in contact with Decimator ‘Annihilator-Class’ Astro-Battle Cruiser Commander Xaviux Thoran via his ‘comm-link’ (Communication Link) earpiece.

  “WHAT, AXIUS?!” Ventrix shouted back at his ‘first’ younger brother.

  “I have just received another holo-report from Commander Thoran that ‘the unidentified shuttle’ made a quantum jump mere MILLI-CYCLES ago.”

  “So… THEY HAVE ESCAPED US???”

  “Yes… Lord-Emperor. I ‘regret’ to inform you that ‘yes’, the ‘unknown occupants’ of the unidentified shuttle have successfully evaded our custody.”

  Looking back down at King Luxor, Ventrix narrowed his glowing eyes whilst he asked through his gritted, filed teeth, “I am going to ask you again one more time, Pronos… And you BETTER answer me. ‘WHO’ WAS IN THAT SHUTTLE???”

  Coughing up some blood, King Luxor replied, “I… I shall tell you nothing. Huff… Huff… You will just have to kill me…”

  “No,” the Lord-Emperor uttered as he kept his ‘burning gaze’ down on the Guardinian Royal’s withered, wrinkled, and BLOOD-SPLATTERED face. “Death would be a gift... AND I AM NOT ONE FOR GIVING ‘GIFTS’ TO MY ENEMIES!”

  King Luxor’s eyes then widened as a now smirking Ventrix continued, “What I am going to do to you is FAR WORSE, Pronos… And when you tell me what I want to know it shall be THEN when I ‘kill’ you. Until then though… YOU ARE COMING WITH US!”

  King Luxor’s formerly ‘calm expression’ briefly flashed with grand fear as Lord-Emperor Vexas harshly ripped his pulsar blade out of the Guardinian’s shoulder.

  ‘Retracting’ his Pulsar Lancer’s ‘dual blades’, Ventrix picked up and pulled his cloak back on whilst Lord-Prince Axius asked, “Your Highness… VENTRIX… What are we going to do now?”

  “DRELLIX… Have a medic tend to your wound once we are back aboard the Decimator,” Ventrix ordered the now ‘one-handed’ Vexan Lord-Prince whilst Axius stood idly by in a confused state.

  Looking at his towering, ‘lone horn-headed’ youngest brother now, the Lord-Emperor continued, “TITANUS… Retrieve this piece of Guardinian FILTH from up off the ground and lock him away in THE BRIG LEVEL aboard the ship.”

  Nodding, Lord-Prince Titanus went to pick up King Luxor as Ventrix then, finally, drew his eyes upon Axius.

  “AND BROTHER AX,” Ventrix huffed as he now faced his brother fully. “Tell Commander Thoran to set a ‘trazer-pinpoint’ on the location of the ‘Quantum Rift Portal’ that the shuttle traveled through…”

  Glancing back at King Luxor, who was now hoisted over Titanus’s boulder-sized right shoulder, the Vexan Lord-Emperor sneered devilishly, “BECAUSE WE’RE GOING HUNTING.”

  Planet (Aeshlara’s) Earth’s Orbit

  The (Saauda) Milky Way Galactic Sector

  SHOOM…

  BOOP!

  “THRACK!!!” Dexius cried out after the Escape Shuttle Pod steady after making the successful quantum jump into the Saauda Galactic Sector from the Guardinian ‘home-sector’ of Zagreus.

  The pod’s armored, ‘outer-shell’ was quickly being consumed by a fire that had been started by one of the Vexan Ravager Astro-Fighters’ energy shot attacks (this was due to its Force Shield Generator having been blasted into oblivion.)

  As the Blue Guardian desperately tried to keep the pod level, the Lady-Princess Ashanna had recently been awakened from her ‘forced unconscious state’ by the overwhelming noise of the astro-vessel’s ‘Exterior Danger Alarm System’.

  “Ugh… Fuh-Father,” Princess Ashanna muttered in a ‘dazed’ tone as the Last Guardian Warrior looked over at her.

  The Lieutenant’s attention soon turned away from the Princess once he had realized that he was quickly losing his struggle to keep the escape shuttle pod flying… WITH IT NOW ‘NOSE-DIVING’ TOWARDS PLANET EARTH!!!

  Entering the ‘unventured’ planet’s orbit and ‘piercing through’ its own multiple layers of atmosphere, Dexius kept his hands pulling back on the Flight Control Wheel in a last-ditch effort to keep the astro-vessel steady.

  With this having no use, the Blue Guardian calmly began to consider the Lady-Princess and his own options for a possible escape plan.

  Princess Ashanna then let out a terrified scream, causing her ‘Guardian Protector’ to temporarily lose his ‘tight grip’ on the Flight Control Wheel.

  “URGH… SILENCE!” Dexius angrily shouted at the frantic Guardinian Royal. “Your cries are not helping anything, Ashanna!”

  Princess Ashanna started to scream again, to which Dexius just rolled his eyes and shook his head in annoyance.

  While Dexius still kept trying to hold back on the flight controls, the pod started to ‘pierce through’ a mass of darkened clouds.

  Virtually rendered ‘blind’ by the murky cloud coverage, Dexius stressed, “Come on, come on! Stay level! STAY THRACKING LEVEL, YOU PIECE OF RAXX!!!”

  “This is all your fault, Dexius!” Princess Ashanna speared at the Intergalactic Warrior from his right. “How are you not able to pilot a ‘simple’ astro-vessel such as this one?!”

  Having had enough of the Royal Princess of Guardinas’s mouth, Dexius intensely snapped, “With all due respect, Your Majesty… YOU CAN GO THRACK YOURSELF!!! I am trying to save our…”

  SPLASH!!!
