Jas elft a stinging pain in his neck that drove him awake from his deep sleep and peaceful dreams. His body jolted awake as he stood up upright in a sharp move looking with hatred around him.
It took him soti to realize where he was and what just happened. Rigo, who held a dical fiber syringe, stood beside him waiting for the side effects of the forced sleep drug to go away.
"How long did I sleep? I feel like I slept for centuries already," Jas said while he was sensing the place of the syringe in his neck, he still felt an irritating sting in it.
"Only ten minutes, sir."
Jas looked in doubt towards Rigo, who went away to put this syringe into the dump zone. Just as Jas was lost in his thoughts, his eyes saw sothing strange, a youngster was lying beside Eli like a sleepy baby.
"Who the hell is that? Where did he co from? How did he co here on board the ship?" Jas threw all these questions on Rigo's face while pointing out towards the youngster.
"I don't know, he just appeared strangely in the commanding deck, '' Rigo answered as he went back to his seat.
"He just appeared here? how is this even possible?"
Rigo pressed so buttons before replying to Jas, who followed him and sat on his seat while his eyes were looking towards this strange youngster:
"There is an old tech in our empire that could move people between far places."
"Are you saying he was sent by one of your tech?" Jas asked in doubt and disbelief, as this was the first ti he heard about the existence of such ability, ability that seed more magical to be true.
"I don't know, I searched him and didn't find anything with him at all. When he woke up, we could ask him."
Jas didn't let this matter down as he asked:
"Have you checked his state? I an if there is a way to make him wake up now we should use it. I hate dealing with unknown people, they always bring disaster with them."
"The dical examination that I ran with the help of the system in this cruiser diagnosed his status as in deep coma, a status similar to miss Eli's condition," Rigo replied while he drove the cruiser passing through so clouds of bluish gas.
"Are you saying he had the sa condition as Eli? And since when has my cruiser can run dical diagnostics?"
"He is in the sa coma condition as miss Eli, which is weird in my opinion. The system in this ship is miraculous, it can do many things, but your small cruiser is holding him back."
Jas kept looking towards this youngster as he snorted, he didn't believe he had gotten himself a new one to rescue. He looked towards the front where the scene changed drastically.
"We have arrived inside the zone safely, thanks for complinting my ship, I really appreciate reminding of its potential."
Rigo didn't get the sarcastic tone in Jas' words. As the cruiser appeared in the faint green sky, Jas noticed the presence of a large number of cruisers coming in or leaving this zone. Everything seed sohow chaotic, yet it was following a hidden system.
"Run a full scan of this zone, we need to locate the place of those kids fast."
"affirmative."
Rigo then started to use the scanners in the small cruiser to scan every inch at this place. The zone was ford of a flat piece of land that stretched for millions of miles like a huge island.
Jas didn't know how this place was ford or what kept this land there without falling apart, but he had all the info he needed about this land from Eli's description. He waited patiently for Rigo to end his scan, as he needed to figure out where exactly they were right now.
"There is sothing here in this place that's jamming our scan," Rigo said.
"Do you know at least where we are?"
Rigo pressed so buttons as a hologramic view of the whole zone appeared, it then pointed towards a place that began to flash with red light as he said:
"We are here right now."
Jad observed the map again, then he said after a couple of minutes:
"So we are basically in the outer borders of this zone. We need to cross a huge distance buddie."
Jas then looked towards the front to feel stupid, as in front of him appeared a large fleet of fighters. They were much smaller than his cruiser, but he knew he couldn't underestimate these nasty little things. Their ability to do rapid maneuvers were unparalleled in the whole galaxy.
"We have company," Rigo said.
"I noticed, can you try to reach them out and understand why they are blocking our way?"
Just as rigo was about to turn the transmission on and send this ssage to them, he found a ssage sent from these fighters.
"They sent us a ssage first," Rigo said.
"Decent folks, let's hear what they wanted to say."
Rigo activated the ssage to be heard loudly in the commanding deck. A strange language appeared which Jas didn't understand.
"Use the automatic translator in the system and play it back."
"Affirmative."
In a few monts, the ssage was broadcasted with human language that Jas could understand easily.
"This leader Rot, the leader of the rebels fighters. This zone is now closed under our jurisdiction, no cruiser is allowed to enter or leave here without our permission.
Violate this lock down and we won't hesitate to shoot you down. Please cooperate and don't be foolish. All cruisers have to follow us towards a place where you will all land and stay there safely until everything is over. I repeat, don't test our patience and be wise."
Jad looked in disbelief towards Rigo as he asked:
"How the hell did they enter here?"
Rigo replied simply:
"It seems you aren't the only one who had a back door into this zone."
It hit him to make Jas realise his mistake. He was foolish to think Dora would take the sa route as him. She must have found a secret way to enter here, and it seed she did so long ti ago.
"We are delayed, way delayed, than I expected," Jas said while gritting his teeth out of anger. He didn't only lose valuable ti, he also missed the chance to et Dora, and now he didn't know where she was.
His eyes got stuck over these small fighters as he decided to take the risk. He pressed the transmission button as he said loud and clear:
"Hi, this is Jas, princess Dora's friend. Can you please deliver the news of my arrival to her? Tell her I must see her imdiately, as the secret mission she sent for had gone south and now there is a huge threat approaching us."
Jas released the button to let the ssage pass through. He waited for long seconds while Rigo next to him muttered:
"As if your words will be heard by them."
Just as Rigo finished his cold words, another ssage arrived at the cruiser. Jas pressed the button to play it rapidly as the previous voice of leader Rot appeared saying:
"Can you please identify yourself formally? Tell your code, the mission codena, and state the brief details of the intel you have."
Rigo looked at Jas who went silent for a mont as he knew if he did wrong, these fighters wouldn't hesitate to shoot him down. After so thinking, he found a suitable answer as he rushed to record it and send it to that leader.
"My code is the guardian of Phoenix, the mission codena is Edwardo, and the brief detail of my intel is the approach of the Rontag Empire fleet from here."
