I don't know for how long we have been in space. There is no away to calculate the time here. I don't even know how fast this ship is going. We can be two galaxies far away from Earth from what I know. We are on the verge of a serious mental break but are trying to hold our s**t together and wait for the right moment to attack. We came up with a plan to attack the guards and then take over the Nevars. We were still not sure how that is going to work because the alien pirates are big but we outnumbered them. Plus the guards have arms and we plan to get our hands on them. But it seems that the right moment never comes.
Some days later, or weeks but I don't really know for how long we have been in here red lights start flashing. This only means trouble. It is always the same. And we hear the metallic voice.
-System has been breached. I repeat system has been breached. Preparing the dock for pots. Pots will dock in there, two, one. Pots safely docked.
I look at my fellow mysticals and I see they are all shocked. I am too. What the hell is going on out there? Who is stupid enough to attack the pirate ship? Because I am positive someone is attacking this ship. Other pirates? With what purpose, us? Are we this valuable to aliens that others will kill to get us?
In the beginning, everything is quiet.
-What do you think is going on? Ava asks.
Ava is a sweet little fox. She has beautiful silver hair and I am sure her fox has the same color. She was from New Canada Prefecture and she was shy. All her being shouted " I am small, shy, and afraid. Protect me." Me and Savannah, a panther, made sure to keep Ava hidden from the guards because she would start crying the moment we smelled them. And they took great pleasure in tormenting poor Ava. I mean the poor thing wasn't bigger than 1.50m.
-I am not sure, sweety, but we will be safe, I say to her.
-Safe? How the f**k are going to be safe? We haven't been safe since the day f*****g UGE came to power, Arry says.
How do I describe Arry? The girl had an attitude, I give her that. And she was afraid to talk. And she swore, a lot when she was angry. From what I heard she was with the UGE for six months before they sold her. They treated her badly. Well, they treated everyone bad not only Arry.
And like on a synchronized movie scene we start hearing shouting and something that sounds like firearms. I can't understand anything from what they are shouting because it a: too far away for my translator or b: it's language or languages that haven't been uploaded into the translators. Which sucks.
-I am scared, Ava says. What if they kill us? I don't want to die, she whimpers.
-I am here honey, I say, I won't let anything happen to you.
And I let her hide behind me and Savannah. I look straight at the door anxiety building up. More shouts followed by a large boom.
- I think our aliens are losing the fight, Mike says.
Mike was one of the guys. I sense he is Delta but I might be wrong. Artemisia has a better nose for these things than I do but she is quiet. I sense she is watching and listen to everything that's going on but she is quiet.
After a few more shouts and fires, one of the guards comes in. He looks scared, and I have never seen any of the Purple aliens scared, never. He shut the door, making sure twice that it is secured. I can tell he is hurt, because blood is coming out, and it is green.
Green blood. Oh.My. Goddess.
-What's going on? Caleb asks.
But the guard ignores him completely. He is looking at the door, arm ready to shot whoever dears to come in.
-Who is attacking us? Mike demands.
The way he demanded to know what going on emanated lots of power. Maybe not a Delta. Definitely a Beta or an Alpha.
The guard is quiet for some time that I think he will never answer.
-The ones that are attacking us are here to after you, but you will be sssafe. I am here to guard you until it is sssafe until we kill the otherss.
We hear something or someone hitting the door, more shots, more noise. Seconds pass then the door is kicked open, hitting the wall. A huge golden alien comes in. I am 1,70m but this big boy is easy 2.5m tall. Someone screams but the new aliens ignore us, his gaze fixed on Purple. He flashes a pair of big teeth and big fangs and he shot his gun. The next second Purple falls down, killed.
-Who are you? I manage to ask.
It is only then when the golden alien look at us.
-I am from the Galactic Imperial Army, here on a mission to rescue any human that was sold or kidnapped. Don't worry, you will be safe with the Galactic Imperium.
I don't point out that we are not humans. Who knows what they do to mysticals.
-Galactic Imperium? I ask.
-I heard about the Galactic Imperium. It is a coalition to protect the planets that are part of the Imperium, Arry says. I didn't know Earth was part of the Galactic Imperium.
-Earth is not part of the Galactic Imperium since it doesn't meet up all the requirements. But Earth was under our protection, but since Earth rulers started selling slaves we no longer protect Earth. But it is our priority to save slaves from other pirates species. You will be taken to a refugee camp, on a safe planet.
He must have an inter communicator or something because all of a sudden, he touches one of his ears, his eyes going wide.
-Understood sir, I will be there in a few, he says to someone.
-I will answer all of your questions later, now I have to go.
-Is something bad happening? I ask.
He ignores my question and looks for something in the guard's pockets. He smiles content when he manages to fish out a card.
-This will get your cells open and gives the card to Mike.
He then leaves living us alone with the dead alien.
We manage to get both cages open when we hear a voice speaking.
-Humans, this is General Sade speaking. We have some technical difficulties right now but we will detach the cargo bay and send it to a safe location for later extract. Please, don't worry, we will come after you. This solar system is safe.
And then another voice.
-Prepare for cargo bay's detachment in three, two, one. Detachment completed. You will now be sent to a safe location.
After this, we felt a strong movement and everything starts to spin. People start to scream. I fly across the cell and hit the wall, hard. My back hurts like hell but then I find myself flying again. I hit again and this time I blackout.
