Unaware of what her husband had set in motion, Scarlet had already started her own counterattack. She sent footage of the incident to director Rodney and was preparing for a live interview during which she would defend her son. When the interview was done, she would pay a personal visit to the Cocker family and personally throw them off her planet after so good whipping. She would not touch Koko, despite the fact that Winy, Koko’s mother had made it a point to ruin Justin’s good na. It was not her style to lay hands on children.
Even while she was preparing for that interview, none of the family mbers had ended their calls. Apparently everyone wanted to show their support in the background as much as possible. They were still making suggestions on how Scarlet should handle the matter.
While waiting, she was on star net reading comnts and opinions of the citizens from different planets. So far, it seed like people were divided. Most, as expected did not believe what Winy was saying.
It was to be expected of course because her claims were ridiculous, starting with the fact that the age for noble boys and girls to keep a respectful distance from each other was eight not five.
Scarlet couldn’t help posting sothing on her official personal page.
I am the cha King’s sugar daddy: #Fake news and crocodile tears. I am about to bring out my evidence, where is yours? #Get off my planet you liar.
As soon as she posted that, almost everyone on their end of the call was notified and they all looked at whatever they were using to read the latest post from Scarlet.
The fourth prince was the first to react, stunned by Scarlet’s last post. "Wait, you are throwing her off the Blue star?"
"That’s good. We don’t need people like her walking around and infecting others with lying sickness." Fey jumping up and down as she was fired up, said.
Adler on the other hand frowned and asked, "Is it legal? I am all for it but we need it to be airtight and legitimate."
"It’s my planet. If I don’t want her there, she needs to go. I don’t need her anywhere near my sun." Scarlet replied.
"Well, you can’t throw her back to the capital, we don’t want her here either." The empress declared. Then, a cheeky look appeared on her face and she said, "Wait, if she is here I can make her life a living hell. She will rue the day she ever pointed fingers at soone from the house of Wu..."
She was distracted montarily and she muted her end of the call.
The sound returned in less than ten seconds and she turned her head to face Scarlet. "Scarlet, what have you been up to lately? Not that I am criticizing your vigilance skills but how could you allow Justin to be friends with soone from the DWN?"
A collective gasp went around the room, followed by a mixture of different voices all raising the sa question, "What?"
"Who is DWN?" Scarlet asked them.
"Down with nobility, an extremist group ford by so commoners who hate nobles. Wait, Justin is a child he wouldn’t have a friend in DWN." Beord explained.
The empress made her voice louder to drown out the ramblings of other people. "I an his friend’s parents, that Koko’s mother recently joined DWN or she was being courted by them. Oh Gods!! they probably wanted to use her to get to Justin. It’s Serina dina all over again!!"
Scarlet wanted to ask who Serina dina was and her relation to the issues at hand but she was distracted because a new ergency alert was beeping both on her phone and terminal.
"What is happening?" she asked herself.
She was the only one who was lost, because the others who had remained active on the call shared the sa confusion and question.
"Where did everyone go?" Carolyn asked.
Her connection to BSTV was cut off and at the sa ti, she lost contact with everyone of her siblings on the planet. Their holograms just disappeared abruptly.
"Alex?" she said.
She and the AI had developed a sort of precognition in their communication. She didn’t need to explain what she wanted when it could detect it from her tone.
Alex was quick with an explanation. "The Blue star has been cut off from all communications internally and externally. I have switched you to the ergency channels of the cha warriors. Patching you into their headquarters now mistress."
The empress ended her call too and she disappeared.
"Guys I will talk to you later. I gotta go."
Alex ended the call for her and connected her to the headquarters of the cha warriors association on the Blue star.
"This is governor Scarlet Su requesting an imdiate response and explanation for the sudden black out on my planet."
An imdiate response ca in. "This is desk commander Straw replying to governor Scarlet. There is an ongoing operation on the planet to capture a few extremists from the DWN. The black out has been authorized by governor Esong Wu. All communications will be reconnected after the operation. May I ask how it’s possible that you are communicating with us?"
She stuck her tongue out, then puffed her cheeks with air, looking like a child that had been caught doing sothing they should not be doing and ended the call imdiately.
"Oh-Oh." she whispered. Even though she had hung up, the association would find a way to try and make her cough up what alternative ans of communication she had used to contact them. She would not be telling them a single thing however.
"Patch into Esong’s helt." she told Alex.
Alex had long adjusted the settings of his self helt and she could pop in whenever she wanted and speak directly to him.
"Connected." Alex said.
She put on her own shield, and suddenly she could see what he was seeing. He was in his cha, chasing after soone in an exoskeleton.
"Hello my boo, I hate to be a distraction but if you could just shoot that idiot in the legs and talk to for a minute I would be grateful." There was no ti to waste, she had other things to get to so she spoke to him almost imdiately.
"Wrong timing Scar." was his response.
He didn’t ask how or why she had access to his shield.
"But I am glad you are here." He fired a few shots and the person in the exo skeleton cried out and fell to the ground. "Take him." Esong barked.
Other cha warriors stuffed the individual into a storage pod. "Let’s go, there is another rabbit on the run." He said.
The cha warriors flew off, going ahead of him who slowed down a bit to talk to her.
"Hello beautiful bedazzling one." he said in a deep voice.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, she could hear the humor in his voice.
"You are unbelievable." she replied. "Who or what are you hunting?"
"mbers of the DWN group that snuck onto our planet. I have been keeping an eye on the family of Justin’s little friend. Their associates, their businesses and everything they do, from when they wake up to when they close their eyes.
A few weeks ago, the mother, she started acting suspicious and it turned out that a few mbers of DWN were courting her.
They have been feeding her money for a while, lots of shopping sprees, a new apartnt under her daughter’s na. She even signed a lease for a new whole sale food business.
She has been selling information on us for money. How dare a crooked woman like that go on air to lie on our son? I am going to arrest her personally and I will make sure to make it hurt."
She couldn’t stop him and she supported hum wholeheartedly,so she told him, "Don’t do any permanent damage. She needs to be alive in order to regret her actions. People need to know that she has been lying."
