Chapter 1

Samuel Ray walked out of his house waving to his neighbors. Getting into his car he stretched his six foot frame out behind the wheel. Moving away from his house and neighborhood, little did he know it would be the last time he see either of them.

High in orbit above the earth, an unearthly craft was hiding among the satellites. It’s sleek black skin absorbing all light and energy that came near it.

A tall, blonde, human looking male nodded at the read out. “I think we’ve finally located the one on this planet that was giving off those energy readings.”

“It’s about time!” A smaller in height and frame female replied. “I want all bio-scanners on this one this time. No mistakes like last time.” The female hissed. “I’ll remove more than an ear this time!”

The male, a hand to the stub like projection from the side of his head, nodded. “All scans now active, directed at the subject.” The male said as clearly as he could.

The female stood, walking up behind the male. “Hmmm, this one has more markers than any we’ve seen before. I’m so glad I suggested we come to this primitive place.”

The male hid his face as he rolled his eyes. Her idea? Slightly shaking his head he wondered how she’d go on without him. Most of her ideas were actually his.

A slashing to his back let him know he’d not heard the last thing she’d said. “You worthless piece of scum! I told you to get him!” The female growled.

“I will mistress as soon as he stops moving! We don’t want a repeat of last time like on penal-one.” The male said as he wrenched at the pain across his back.

“Hmmm, you’re right that cost enough to fix, plus we only got half of him. There was barely enough left alive for me to consume. Alright then, as soon as possible,” the female said with a smirk.

Arriving downtown, Samuel had just parked his car and moving as quickly as he could away from his car. A sudden crunching sound behind him caused Samuel to stop, turning his mouth fell agape. The front half of the very car he’d been in was gone! Looking closer Samuel saw a blue glow coming from the rest of what was left of the vehicle.

Turning back toward the building, Samuel took a step to run; suddenly he was enveloped in a reddish light. Blinking his eyes hard he saw that he was somewhere else! Two tall, well muscled women in strange uniforms were pointing strange guns at him. Both had startled looks on their faces that quickly turned to anger.

“Inona! Iza io?” The tall, blonde haired woman of the pair said.

“Tsy azoko antoka.” The tall, Auburn woman next to the Blonde replied.

When Samuel only stood there with his mouth open, The Auburn woman touched a button on the console. Just as quickly a strange beam shot out of the bulkhead. “What the hell!?” Samuel almost shouted as he jumped back the beam following him.

“Ah! Much better!” The Auburn haired woman said. Pointing her gun straight at Samuel’s chest, unwavering, she started. “Now just who are you? Where is the criminal Mellos Thymp?!”

Shock registered on Samuel’s face as he swallowed hard. “Look lady I have no idea what you are talking about!”

A frown came over the Auburn woman’s face. “I am not one of these ladies that you speak of. I am Thellus Wron of the Intergalactic Patrol. This esteemed one,” Thellus said indicating the Blonde. “Is our sector Commander, Drivas Flot. You WILL refer to her as Commander!!” The Auburn woman pushed her gun barrel into Samuel’s ribs to emphasize her point.

“Sure! Whatever you say lady,” Samuel said as he raised his hands and arms.

With a low growl Thellus backed a foot from Samuel. “Lower your arms now! You will be destroyed if you make an attempt to take my weapon! Now then identify yourself,” this last coming out as a rigid command.

Swallowing hard again, Samuel replied, “I am Samuel Ray, I work at the World Bank downtown.”

Thellus’s face hardened as the grip on the weapon tightened, “I know not of this planet downtown, stop lying...”

“Enough Thellus! Tell me Samuel Ray, is the name of that planet downtown, or has it perchance another name?” The blonde Drivas asked indicating the blue and green planet on the other side of a huge window that dominated the wall.

“Oh my god!” Samuel said as he fell to his knees. “There’s no way!”

Drivas shook her head with a sigh. They’d have to wipe this one when they were done, a most unpleasant duty. “So you know the name of your home good. I’m sorry you’ve never seen it before. I apologize...”

“Huh? Of course I’ve seen it we all have. It’s just rare that anyone but military gets to see this much of it these days. An almost exasperated Samuel told Drivas.

“Ah! So your people are much further then. Perhaps a wipe is unnecessary. So, please what is the its name?” The Blonde smiled at him.

“We call it earth.” Samuel replied.

A shocked then worried look crossed the Blonde’s face. Stunned she turned toward Thellus yelling at her. “Send him back NOW!” Drivas’s voice getting louder with each word.

“But Commander shouldn’t we first...” a confused Thellus started.

“NO! NOW! Send him now before he emerges!” Drivas was now screaming.

Thellus nodded as she immediately pressed another button on the console. Another reddish beam enveloped the man who stood there a moment with nothing happening. Looking down at his body he noticed a golden glow coming from his body within the red beam. Then just as suddenly he was standing back in the parking garage.

Shrugging Samuel turned toward the elevator. Taking but a step he was again enveloped in a beam though this time it was blue. Again he shook his head then rolled his eyes as nothing happened this time! Waiting a moment more he again shrugged and stepped out of the beam! Then he just easily walked away from it.

Mellos Thymp cursed as she kicked the male off his feet, then hard into the bulkhead. Landing with a thud the male crumpled into a heap. “How dare you miss the target!” Mellos raged.

“Mistress Mellos I didn’t miss!” The Tall male protested. “My god! He’s reading almost the same make up as you!” The male said as soon as he limped back to the panel.

Quickly snapping her head around, Thymp looked at the reading on the panel. Her eyes flew wide as she whispered, “My god he’s reading more pure, if not more than myself! We must capture him at all costs!”

“Ma’am!” The tall man shouted looking at another reading. “I’m reading an Intergalactic Patrol command ship nearby!”

“Damn it!” Mellos said as she tracked the other ship. “So! It wasn’t your fault after all! Hmmm, I might have to reward your efforts after all. Don’t count on it,” here she sneered at the tall man. “Though we’ll see.”

The Tall man nodded shivering at the promise of a reward. If it was anything like the last time it would be well worth it!

Samuel looked at his watch, damn it! That little delay was going to make him late! Opening the stair well door when he saw that the elevator was at the top of the building, Damn! Twenty five floors!

Taking a step into the stair well, Samuel was suddenly staring at the twenty fifth floor’s door! What in the hell was going on?

Grabbing the door handle Samuel pulled it in a hurry seeing that he had a few more minutes before he was late. Suddenly gasping when not only the door but the frame also came away from the wall in his hand! Crap! This day was getting stranger and stranger! Putting them aside Samuel was glad he was at the back of the room where no one else was.

Several people stared then snickered when they saw him pass them on the way to his cubicle. Staring hard Samuel sat with a thud when he saw that almost the space on his desk was taken up with huge stacks of reports piled on it. Shaking his head Samuel thought there had to be a least a week’s worth of work here!

His boss walked up at that moment, “Samuel I need you to read, comment, then do a complete write up on each of these.” Samuel groaned as the man started to walk away, then the man stopped returning to Samuel’s desk. “Oh yeah, expect to stay after since you were the last in. You best have them all done when I come in tomorrow. I’m presenting them to the CEO.” With a snide laugh the man walked away without a thought to what he’d just done.

“What an ass!” Samuel whispered under his breath. Staring at his boss as the man walked away as if the man had lost his mind! With a sigh Samuel shook his head reaching for the first report and a pen.

Thirty minutes later Samuel put the last down then wrote a comment. Reaching for another Samuel was surprised when there weren’t any more! Blinking looking up Samuel saw that he was completely done with all but the last’s write up.

Again shaking his head, he thought about what he’d just read. Turning to his keyboard, he started to type at a furious pace. A mere two minutes later he blinked again when he saw that he had eight pages done! Saving everything he could only stare at all the work he’d finished. What in the hell was going on?

Thinking about the events of the day, he remembered the blonde Commander saying that he was emerging. Wonder what the hell that had been about? Too bad I can’t ask her Samuel thought.

[“Who the hell is this?”] Came the sound of Drivas thoughts in her voice.

‘What the hell?’ Samuel thought ‘just what was that?’

[“I will have you locked away! This is illegal telepathic communications to a commanding officer of the Intergalactic Patrol! Identify yourself or be prepared for immediate incarceration!”] Drivas’s thought said.

Shrugging Samuel thought might as well. [“This is Samuel Ray, I have a question for you.”]

[“Samuel Ray?”] Samuel swore he could almost feel Drivas swallow hard. [“I ... I will allow you one question.”]

[“You told Thellus that I was emerging ... What exactly did you mean?”] Samuel asked.

[“What!? You mean you don’t know? Then I am afraid that I am not allowed to tell you. The patrol has been trying to find others like you for almost four hundred years. At present there are only two left alive, yourself, and the criminal Mellos.”] Drivas explained.

[“Only two like me? What do you mean?”] Samuel asked.

[“I’m sorry, I’ve already told you far too much.”] Came Drivas’s panicking thoughts.

Sighing Samuel was starting to get more than a little pissed. [“What the hell! Just tell me!”] Samuel’s thoughts said somewhat forcefully.

[“You don’t understand I can’t ... I’m sorry I can’t it isn’t...”] Samuel could feel Drivas’s thoughts and mind struggling as she fought to keep her thoughts within. He could feel her trying to keep the information hidden but the reasons why also. [“NO! STOP! I can’t! I ... I ... Your readings indicate that you and she are the last two pure form Cliveastones”]

[“Cliveastones? Never heard of them I am afraid. What... ?”] Samuel started to ask.

[“They were once a race of super powerful beings that were thought to have been destroyed well over five centuries ago. All readings indicate that you are ten percent purer than Mellos. The purest in fact to be seen since the planet of Owt Los was destroyed. It was rumored that they seeded thousands of worlds in case such as this happened.”] Came Drivas’s struggling though somewhat numb sounding thoughts.

[“What were your orders concerning those that are supposed to be like me?”] Samuel asked.

[“We were only supposed to find and report any that we found. I’, ... I’m sorry we awakened you. It was never our intention to do so. May I ask what your intentions are?”] Came Drivas’s concerned thoughts.

[“As of right now...”] Samuel started.

Another set of thoughts broke in. [“Release the Commander this instant or...”]

Samuel turned toward the new thoughts, [“you weren’t asked into this conversation!”]

[“I have to protest...”] The others thoughts started.

[“SHUT UP!”] Samuel thought getting angry.

[“I am a thought warrior I will not ... Stop! NO!”] Came the other’s terrified thoughts.

Samuel felt the other back off so he eased the pressure. [“I told you to shut up. Try that again, I may not stop ‘til there isn’t much left.”]

[“Yes sir.”] Came the slowly relaxing thoughts.

Turning back to Drivas’s thoughts Samuel continued. [“Now as for my intentions. I mean no harm to any, though I will defend myself.”]

Thinking of the patrol ship Samuel appeared far above the outside of the building he’d been in. Looking up he then shot skyward at tremendous speed to where the patrol ship was in seconds.

Samuel’s eyes went wide when he found he really didn’t need to breathe stopping outside the patrol ship. Reaching for the ship Samuel vanished appearing before a shocked Drivas and panic stricken Thellus sitting on the floor her gun drawn.

“I will not allow you to harm the Commander!” Thellus said as she discharged her gun. The energy beam struck Samuel in the chest. Furrowing his eyebrows Samuel looked more annoyed than angry as his body absorbed the blast.

Sighing Samuel snapped his fingers making Thellus’s gun vanish. “There that’s better!” Samuel said which caused both Drivas and Thellus to stare at him in shock.

“You know nothing of your origin yet you can do this? Why ask if you have such command of your power?” Drivas asked.

“Apparently I learn them as I need them. Ok so, one last question.” Samuel stated.

“Please sir, I am already in enough trouble as it is. If we answer we answer any more we can most assuredly look forward to being executed.” Drivas pleaded.

Sighing Samuel thought a moment. Looking at both females Samuel wondered if it was really that easy. Thinking carefully Samuel carefully formulated his desire.

Finally Samuel decided he was ready as he thought. I wish to know of these people that I have the powers of. I want to know what powers I do actually have, if I will gain more. Why have I only now started to develop them?

Both of the women’s mouths dropped open as they watched Samuel grab his head. Sinking to his knees Samuel’s eyes were closed then suddenly flew wide as he started to scream!

“No! Too much!” Samuel screamed even louder. Then the tension and pain eased as the information started to flow slower.

Taking a deep breath, Samuel stared straight ahead as he started to go over everything that he was seeing. Most of it he knew from Drivas, though how they were wiped out caused Samuel to growl at the two women.

“So the patrol was formed because of my kind. It also appears that air like earth’s renders us powerless.” Drawing closer to the women Samuel whispered. “Too bad it appears that bringing me here? Activated my abilities. Also when you sent me back?” Drivas looked at Samuel and nodded. “I still had them!”

Both women’s eyes appeared wide in shock and surprise! He still had them!? They had to contact central as soon as they could. If he really still had them on earth then there wasn’t anything at present they could do to stop him!

“So don’t come after me and you’ve really got nothing to fear. Piss me off then well; might I suggest you don’t ok?” With that Samuel disappeared appearing outside the ship.

Now then Samuel thought, to do something about the other one. Looking around Samuel saw nothing out of the ordinary. Hmmm he thought I need vision that will allow me to find her.

Suddenly Samuel’s eyes could see a broad range of spectrums. On the edge of the curvature of the earth Samuel saw an odd energy pulse.

Heading toward it he was shocked when it opened fire on him! Hell he thought as the beams struck him, he was actually feeling these! Wow they were tickling him!

Mellos threw her armor on when the tall male that worked for her told her the other like her was heading their way. Sighing she began to shake her head when the big idiot started to fire on their target.

A moment later a man almost as tall as the male that served her appeared a huge smile on his face. ‘Yes!’ she thought! She could feel the raw power that he was exuding from him!

Samuel more as he looked around the ship. A tall blonde man with a shocked look on his face. Further behind him, a smaller well armored jet black haired female.

“Ah! You must be this Mellos Thymp that I have heard so much about!” Samuel said as his face went from a smile to dead serious.

Mellos eyes opened wide as she nodded. “I’m afraid that you have me at a disadvantage.” Mellos said as she ever so slowly inched closer awaiting a chance to touch the man. That’s all I need she thought. Just one touch I know that his power would heal me I just know it!

Samuel bowed a smile returning to his face, “I’m Samuel Ray from earth. I was told that you were a criminal, thought I’d hear your part of the story. I also know that you tried to bring me on board your ship. Uh ... I suggest you not try that again.”

Mellos’s eyes opened wider as she moved even a little closer to Samuel. Just a little more! Then she laid a hand on him. With a triumphant smile she felt the draw start then huh? Nothing? Concentrating even harder she pulled even harder still nothing!

“So, I see that you never heard of the saying that’s it’s really bad to take that which doesn’t belong to you. That plus trying to take from someone who’s not going to let you have it!” Samuel said a firm hard look on his face as he stared down at her a look of terror starting to form on her face.

“I don’t understand, it has never failed before! You are just like me how can I not consume?” A now even more shocked and terror stricken Mellos asked.

“All I know is that I don’t want you to so you can’t.” Samuel said even as Mellos was drawing her fist back driving it into Samuel’s face.

A quick look of anger crossed Samuel’s face as he grunted shaking her punch off as easy as a piece of cloth. Shaking his head Samuel drew his hand back slapping Mellos across the face. This in turn propelled her across the deck into the far bulkhead.

Mellos’s eyes blinked in surprise, “you are one of us! So damn strong! More than I thought!” Then she slumped down to the floor in a heap her eyes closing in unconsciousness.

Staring at where Mellos lay crumpled on the floor Samuel held his arm up. “Unless you want to be the same way.” Here he turned toward the male, “with a lot of, things broken, I suggest you stop.”

The tall blonde male skidded to a stop a foot from Samuel. “May I check on her sir?” The male asked.

Samuel stepped back to allow the male to pass to Mellos. Tenderly the tall male picked Mellos up. Mouthing a thank you to Samuel he then turned taking Mellos into another room.

Samuel was about to follow when he heard a scream. A scream? What the hell? Appearing outside the ship Samuel looked around then started back down toward earth.

Landing outside the same bank that he worked at. Looking around he was sure this was where he’d heard the scream from. Suddenly his eyes were drawn to the bank lobby itself. Inside he could see about twenty men half of them moving toward the back to start emptying what they could. The rest keeping weapons trained on the people in the lobby that were on the floor.

Growling Samuel took a step toward the bank. A moment later he was facing the street with ten men unconscious at his feet. Turning back Samuel took a step vanishing then reappearing with another nine more unconscious men. Shaking his head Samuel wondered how the hell he’d missed the last one.

Sighing Samuel stepped slowly back into the lobby looking for the last. Shaking his head again what was going on? Rushing around the room he was further confused when the last one was nowhere to be seen!

Samuel rushed back outside dropping all the weapons beside the unconscious men. Hearing approaching sirens, Samuel lifted off the ground accelerating faster and faster the higher he got.

Heading to where he’d left Mellos’s ship he was astounded when he arrived that the ship was gone! Looking all around he didn’t see any sign of the patrol ship either! Running through all the spectrums he could see in, Samuel looked hard for any sign of either ship.

A few minutes later Samuel came across a trail leading away from earth. Shaking his head he started to follow it. Mellos was the only one that obviously knew about him and his abilities. She was damn near as tough as he was, rubbing his chin he thought. He’d not let on but that punch she threw had actually bruised his chin.

Well Samuel thought as he passed Pluto a few minutes later, I just have to find her. She had to know more about this than what I do now. Yeah he thought, that is if I find her. It was a big universe after all.

Chapter 2

Samuel had been following the energy trail for over an hour now. He had already passed through several solar systems getting further and further from earth. Shit he thought, I just hope I can find my way back!

Pulling up short he saw that he’d arrived at a huge space like station. It appeared to bear the insignia of the Intergalactic Patrol that he’d seen both of those women wearing. Shaking his head he looked at all the ships that were there. Nodding he saw the one that the two women had been on. Good he thought at least one friendly face!

Going closer he suddenly ‘heard’ a voice in his head. [This is a restricted area, unless you have an appointment with Intergalactic Patrol personnel it is suggested that you depart this area. You are being bio-scanned now. Know that deadly force will be used if you persist in your actions!]

Concentrating Samuel thought back, [I suggest you speak to Drivas Flot before you do something you will regret. I doubt you have anything that can stop me, though you might piss me off!]

There was a moment of silence then many confused thoughts came back to him. Grabbing his head he concentrated as hard as he could. Finally the voices started to thin ‘til he heard Drivas and another male.

[Is this the one you saw?] Samuel heard the man say.

[Yes sir, he is even purer than the criminal Mellos Thymp. We were unsure of him so we came back to report. As of yet we are unsure of what abilities he has.] Drivas said.

[You know, it is rude to talk about someone when they can hear you.] Samuel broke into their conversation with his thoughts.

Samuel could feel the shock that both were feeling. [I apologize. It has been a long time since a humanoid with your abilities has been seen. Though as you can see all are trained to handle almost anything. Please come aboard so we can discuss this in a more relaxed setting.] Returned the man’s thoughts. Samuel was nodding though he was feeling a lot of deception from the man.

Samuel drew closer to the station then suddenly vanished appearing in the same room as the man and Drivas. Sitting when the man offered Samuel felt as if there were a thousand eyes on him.

“I’m sure that Drivas has already made a full report to you. I also know that you are broadcasting this meeting to talk that you can. I’ll tell you as I told Drivas and Thellus. Don’t come after me, you really got nothing to fear. Piss me off? Well I don’t think you want to see what I can really do.” Samuel calmly told them.

“Sir we don’t...” The man started then was quiet when Samuel held up his hand.

“Please, don’t insult my intelligence. I am former military, I recognize a military installation. An independent civilian operation? I think not. So, would you like to talk to me straight forward? Or would you prefer for me to just leave?” Here Samuel spread his hands in a gesture of unconcern. Samuel’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly heard more thoughts. “Unless you want people to be hurt I suggest you tell them to stand down, NOW!”

The other man nodded as he spoke into a communicator. Turning back to Samuel he asked, “If you aren’t here to conquer then why?”

“I want to find Mellos also. She has a hell of a lot more information on me than I can get from asking.” Turning to Drivas he stated. “When I asked for the information on your ship, I gleaned quite a bit; problem is hardly any of it makes sense. It’s in another language one that your beam has had no success in deciphering. I know that the patrol is after her also, that’s fine. She tried I believe, to kill me, unsuccessfully as you can see. I’ll go now I just thought I’d tell you what I was going to do.” Samuel stood to go then turned back to the two there. “Remember Drivas,” Samuel tapped his head. “I still had them when I was back on earth.” Drivas’ eyes went large as she slowly nodded to a smiling Samuel. With that he vanished, appearing outside the station then speeding away.

Drivas sat with a thud, as did the sub-commander of the Intergalactic Patrol. “You believe him?” He asked of her.

Swallowing hard she looked at the male. “A lot of what he said I do. As of yet he has made no aggressive moves against the Patrol. Even when Thellus discharged her weapon at point blank range.”

The Sub-commander was nodding this was good if they could use him in their quest then this would be worth it. Touching a panel he asked, “Did you get enough of a scan to confirm?”

“Almost a complete scan sir. We are comparing the data to that of the first scans. So far they are showing no deviation from the pattern of those that were recorded over five centuries ago. All readings indicate that he is FROM Owt Los! Sir I thought that was impossible! They were all destroyed in...” Came the voice.

“Enough! This is not a secure channel. You will store all you have gotten under the self destroying section. You and all that are there are to report to the expungement center immediately!” The male said then he turned to Drivas as he clicked off. “I know that the both of you are class elite thought warriors. Though as I saw he was through her defenses in no time. We need to up the status of the both of you. It appears he has somewhat attached himself to the both of you. Pray that doesn’t change.”

Drivas again swallowed as she thought of the ease that Samuel had entered her ship. They’d had the shields at full when he teleported in. Shaking her head she thought that he’d done this as easily as walking into a room. Here he was just starting to emerge. The sub-commander was right they had to turn him to their side.

“Sir,” Drivas said coming out of her musings. “Do you require Thellus and I to continue to monitor him and any interaction he has with Mellos?” The male was quiet a minute as he thought about it. “I think that would be a good idea. I also think that the both of you should be promoted to special field agents for the duration of this mission. I have already sent the request to central.”

The door on the far side opened as Thellus walked in nodding to Drivas. Drivas had thought they might be given this assignment. She’d already got her requests in a head of time. It was after all what had gotten her the Sector Commander position, the youngest to date. Smiling she had to say a thanks to Samuel the next time they were face to face.

“Alright special agent Thellus and special agent Commander Drivas. As soon as you both have been escalated to the next level of thought warrior follow him. As little contact as possible. Also stay as hidden from him as you can.” The sub-commander told both the females. “You should know the next level is painful. Not much but painful. As of right now there aren’t many thought warriors at the level two. Far less at three, and four. Level five well, there is only one Thantas is a force to be reckoned with.”

“Thank you sir.” They both said as they started to exit the room. “Oh! Commander all your requests have been filled including a few others that Thantas thought you might need. Good luck, good hunting.”

Both females left heading to a little used section of the station. Entering a door both females watched as several guards took up positions on either side of the door. Five minutes later the guards cringed as the screams of the females started.

Samuel had turned back toward what he hoped was earth. Problem was nothing looked familiar. Damn, he wished he’d paid closer attention in science class. Stopping a moment he thought a moment then shrugged. Where is earth? He thought then waited. Ah come on! This had worked last time. Waiting a moment later he felt his eyes start to shift then he was seeing a path through space beside him. Shrugging again he turned heading that way. I really need to get back faster he thought. Suddenly his speed began to pick up then a tunnel opened it front of him. What the hell?

Flying in it he was only in it for what felt like a few seconds then he was coming out not far from earth. Ok now that was a neat trick and I have absolutely no idea how I did it. Shaking his head he decided to not dwell on it. Looking around again where Mellos’s ship had been he began to again run through the spectrums. Growling he started a second time this time slower, he had to be missing something.

Frustrated he was about to go through them a third time when he notice an extremely faint energy trail. It was so faint that it was almost blending into the darkness of space. Smiling he started to follow it then he thought again I need to go faster. Again his speed picked up then another tunnel opened as he flew into it. This time it seemed more like a few minutes rather than a few seconds.

Emerging this time into the darkness of space Samuel began to look around. The trail was just as weak here though it seemed to be going slower. It was thicker meaning they weren’t in the tunnel? Whatever, he thought as he started to follow the trail. A few minutes later he arrived in front of a solid blue colored world. Funny he thought what was that grey patch that seemed to be growing on the surface. Looking closer he had to do a double take. There was no surface? Descending he found that what he thought was water was actually gas.

Sighing, he headed toward the grey area that seemed to be growing larger. He was almost to it when a huge multitude of large gaseous bladder creatures flew past him. Samuel shook his head as he tried to ask what was going on. Finally he stopped one of the larger creatures. “What is going on?” Samuel asked.

“I know not who you are strange creature, we must flee. The air it is being destroyed. We are all doomed! Release me so I can die with my family.” The large creature said then broke free flying away to join the others, its fins flapping as fast as they could.

Turning Samuel saw what appeared to be a cloud approaching him. Suddenly it was upon him then moving around him. Shaking his head several small machines smashed into his chest. Each, as they collided with him, exploded releasing a huge amount of the blue gas. Problem was it was just as quickly taken in by those around the destroyed machine.

Nodding he was beginning to understand what was going on. Flying through the cloud he collided with thousands of the small machines. It actually appeared that he was starting to beat them when they started to avoid him. The few that smashed into him fell then divided creating two! Damn it! Ok he thought, calm down I know there’s something I can do.

Samuel started to rack his brain when an idea hit him, thing is would it work? Flying to the middle of the cloud of machines Samuel began to spin as fast as he could. Glad I’m not getting dizzy he thought or this would be over quick. Spinning faster he felt many of the machines struggling to escape. Still spinning he was starting to get higher bringing almost all of them with him.

Smiling to himself this is going to work he thought ‘til he ran out of air. Realizing his mistake he began to fly around them as fast as he could keeping them together with the G’s he was creating. Looking down he saw that a few had fallen out, falling back toward the blue gas. Then to his astonishment almost all of them exploded as they began to pick up speed. I thought this was a complete ball of gas.

Drifting lower Samuel kept up his speed as he felt he was back in the atmosphere. Clapping his hands together as hard as he could he watched as the force of the waves he’d created crushed the rest. Looking at his hands he nodded ok sonic waves good.

Flying back into the gas he saw a few hundred that he’d missed. Clapping in front of the advancing machines he saw then crumble then fall. Finally finished he felt a presence. Turning he saw what he thought was the same creature he’d stopped before. “I know not what you are strange creature, we all wish to thank you.”

“Do you know where those machines came from?” Samuel asked.

“Machines?” The creature asked. “I’m sorry I do not know of this word.”

Samuel thought for a moment as he thought of how to word his question. “The strange things that were destroying your air. Do you know where they came from?”

“Oh yes! Though we do not go there as it is a dead forbidden place.” The creature said.

“If you can take me to it I will not ask you to go in. Will that be alright with you?” Samuel asked.

The creature was hesitant and quiet for a few moments then it spoke. “I am allowed to take you to the edge my poddles said I could help you. Though I have to go straight back.”

“I understand; I don’t want you to get in trouble.” Samuel said a slow smile appearing on his face.

“Oh thank you strange creature. May I asked what you are labeled? I am Atata.” Atata said.

Samuel nodded, “I am called Samuel though I rather prefer Sam, Atata.”

Atata shook a little from side to side it was really hard to tell the head end from the tail. “You are labeled Sam Atata? Interesting.”

“No I am just labeled Sam.” Samuel said.

“Oh! Ok that will make it easier Sam I mean the both of us being called Atata would be confusing.” Atata told Samuel with what sounded like a small laugh.

“Please show me where this dead forbidden place is. Then you may go back to your ... it was poddles correct?” Samuel asked of Atata.

“Oh yes Sam. They are very concerned that I am helping you. Though since you have helped all of us then they are allowing me to help you. Though as they said I cannot do much.” Getting closer Atata said very low. “They say I am far too young to do much else. I desire to do more, though I will obey my poddles.”

Samuel nodded as Atata took off with him right behind it. Suddenly they were diving deeper into the blue gas, going quite a ways ‘til they reached a dead looking area of the air.

“Is this the place your people don’t go to?” Samuel asked.

Atata started to tremble as it whispered, “Yes! This place is terrifying.” Suddenly turning Atata took off at high speed. “Be careful Sam.” Atata said as it quickly vanished.

Sighing, then shrugging Sam could understand as just a week ago he was nearly as timid. Turning toward the dark place Sam was sure he felt almost as if something was trying to make him as afraid as he could get.

Shaking his head he pushed what he was feeling away as he started into the dead area. ‘Strange,’ Samuel thought, ‘not really that much here. I’m beginning to think that someone wants everything to keep away.’ Smiling Samuel pushed on, ‘Yeah,’ he thought, ‘I think I am starting to smell a rat.’

Going slowly for what felt like miles, Samuel eventually came upon a small habitation area. Nodding, Samuel thought it was as he thought before. Going right to the side of the place Samuel decided to try and make nice. Then if that didn’t work well, they really didn’t want to piss him off did they?

[I don’t know just who you are though I suggest you stop trying to take the atmosphere from this planet. Don’t pretend that you can’t hear me. I know for a fact that ALL can now understand me.] Samuel thought toward the habitation. [Come on I know you can hear me, unless you want me to come in there. as mad as I am right now I don’t think you want that. So start talking.]

Suddenly very gruff thoughts started to assail Samuel. [Who are you? Are you from the Intergalactic Patrol? I was told that we were protected. This world was declared a non-sentient therefore I was able to purchase the rights to all elements here. I... ]

[NON-SENTIENT, ] came Samuel’s harsh thoughts. [I am only a basic thought talker even I can hear the thoughts of those here. Therefore your rights to this place are no good. Of course I could just destroy this place with you in it if you prefer. I suggest you be gone as fast as possible. If not I will throw you into space ready or not!]

[Just who do you think you are? I have all rights... ] the other’s thoughts started.

[Wrong! You had them under false facts. Leave as fast as you can before you can never again!] Samuel’s thoughts growled.

[I will... ] Started the other’s thoughts then were quiet a moment. [I am corrected sir. We are departing in a minute.]

Samuel watched as there was a furious amount of activity then the whole structure started to rise at an accelerated rate. Mere minutes later, it was free of the planet opening a portal then was gone.

Shaking his head Samuel sought out the one called Atata. A few moments later Samuel heard the creature. [Sam! Did you find anything there in the dead place?]

[Yes I did they appear to be the one that was trying to destroy your air. They are gone I am hoping they don’t come back.] Samuel replied.

Suddenly another set of thoughts broke into the conversation. [We wish to thank you for the consideration you showed Atata. Being the last of our poddle mating it is important that Atata survive. If you have need of us call out we will do all we can to help. We will also keep in touch with you if the grumel returns.]

[I will welcome any help that you can provide when the time comes. I must go I am following another of my kind. Be safe friends.] Samuel said as he rocketed out of the atmosphere following the even fainter energy trail of Mellos.

Back on the blue gas world two smaller forms of the air bladder creatures were in discussion. [Did you recognize the energy of the strange being?] The first asked of the second.

[Partially, it was a form I have not felt in a very long time. Tell me Mite, did you know what it was?] The second asked.

The first shook a part of its bladder body. [Yes I did. Do you remember long ago when the seer fore saw the return of our old ally?]

The second creature also shook though it was the entire body. [Mite! do you think this is what the seer saw?]

[It is hard to say one way or the other. I know this if they are finally starting to return to the star cluster, there will finally be justice for the millions of races that have been enslaved. They won’t allow it especially if they find out the truth.] The first replied.

Samuel had been following the trail as fast as he could as it appeared to be dissipating at a faster rate. Damn it Samuel thought if I get close to her again I need to mark her ship somehow. I might lose her for a while if not.

Chapter 3

Samuel was flying as fast as he could. Cursing himself for stopping to help Atata and its people.

Sighing Samuel shook his head as he flew into another worm hole. ‘Hmmm,’ he thought, ‘as many as Mello’s ship had taken you’d think that she was trying to lose him.’

Flying onward, he suddenly dropped into normal space. Looking around he blinked his eyes at what appeared to be earth, though shaking his head her knew better. Rubbing them he looked closer as his mouth dropped open.

On the planet he could see very thin though extremely tall human like creatures. Their eyes were huge, and they also appeared to have nothing that looked like a nose. Shaking his head again Samuel was about to leave the strange world when he heard a scream. Trying to refuse to look again Samuel again tried to leave when he heard the scream again.

Sighing Samuel said, “Damn it, why now? I was just starting to get close to finding her again.”

Looking at the energy trail he saw it wasn’t as faint. A third scream finally had him flying planet ward. Cursing under his breath he saw what appeared to be a female trying to hold off a huge crowd of ... were those beetle-like insects?

Landing with a ground shaking thud behind the female, Samuel ducked when the female swung a long, very sharp looking blade at him. “What the hell,” Samuel shouted as she swung again at him even faster.

Growling loudly at him, she swung back toward the insects; in the process decapitating ten or twenty of those that had tried to advance in the front row. “Unless you want to join your headless, dead friends, I suggest you get away from that which is mine!” The female growled louder.

“Yours!?” Samuel asked as he started to look around him. He saw what appeared to be about twenty smaller versions of the female. ‘Why,’ Samuel thought, ‘were they all buried up to their necks in the ground?’

“Yes, my frinklings.” This prompted the forward row of insects to move. The female again swung her blade taking the heads off of about ten more. “Neither you nor who they work for can have them!” The female growled fiercely.

Swinging toward Samuel again the blade actually hit Samuel’s neck his attention momentarily drawn to the smaller versions. There was a clang, and then a gasp from the female as her eyes went wide. “What are you?” The female asked as at first her arms, then the rest of her body started to shake from the vibrations.

There was a loud chirping, clicking issuing from the beetle insects as they started to surge forward. The females eyes got larger (imagine that) as she turned swinging the blade furiously.

Samuel could quickly see that the female was going to be overrun in a matter of no time at all, at this rate. Growling Samuel took to the air meeting the front of the insects pushing back as hard as he could. Catching them off guard he started to move a vast majority of them backwards. The whole time he could hear all of them shouting kill, kill!

Growling loudly Samuel stated, “Unless all of you want to be seriously hurt, I suggest you, BACK OFF!” This last shouted at them the force of Samuel’s voice pushing the multitude of them back even further.

“Who are you to even try to order us?” Several of those on the front hissed at Samuel. “Now you will die with all of these here!” With that a huge wave of a greenish liquid flew from many of the insects covering Samuel. This burned what little was left of his clothes from his body. Looking down his body, his face momentarily twisted into anger.

Shaking what he assumed was a type of acid off himself, he turned to the insects. Growling, Samuel brought his hand down flat on the one in front of him. Smashing it easily to a pulp then turned to the rest. Taking to the air again faster than any could follow Samuel crushed a three foot path in front of him all the way to the back of the mass of insects.

“Were you actual beings, not obviously mindless killers, I might feel remorse for a moment.” Setting in the front again looking hard at the front row he continued. “Though in your case, I’ll make an exception.” This last was issued in a low growl.

“Ha! We are many there is but one of you. Even with the amount that you have destroyed you stand no chance at all of victory.” Several of those in front hissed at Samuel.

Samuel’s eyes narrowed as he whispered, “Wanna bet?” Again Samuel moved far faster than anyone could follow, then even faster. Appearing this time he crushed an even wider swath and then double that as he reversed his path back on the opposite side.

The screams of the dying was almost overwhelming. With only about a hundred left alive the insect beetles slowly started to withdraw then more rapidly. “You will pay dearly for this!” They threw back at Samuel in their retreat.

“As you saw nothing you did affected me at all. Don’t return or the rest of you will perish!” Samuel growled at their retreating forms.

A movement past him caught Samuel completely off guard. The same female with the long blade was giving chase after the rapidly retreating insects; slaughtering all of them as she glided through them with ease.

Returning to stand in front of Samuel after the last fell, she gave Samuel an odd look. Then bowing low she stated, “I wish to thank you for saving my frinklings.” Still bowing she continued on, “I do not know you though your actions seem vaguely familiar. Tell me, just who are you? Exactly where are you from?”

Samuel returned the low bow of the female causing a soft gasp from her. “I am Samuel, though you may call me Sam. I am from a planet called earth, though Mellos Thymp told me that I was not.”

Again the female gasp, “You talked to Mellos and survived?” This time the female looked closer, then even extremely closer to all of Sam. “Yes, I can see that you are exceedingly strong. I am Queen Triada. As I said I do not know you, though for some reason I do feel that I can trust you.”

Shaking his head a thought came to Sam. The Queen was royalty she therefore had access to far more information. “If I may ask Queen, have you ever heard of the Cliveastones?”

The Queen’s mouth dropped open, her eyes wide as realization struck home. Nodding the Queen stated, “At one time long ago they were a most noble race. A few of their kind rebelled against what almost all of those in power believed in; although they were also quickly put down by their own people. The Intergalactic Patrol was formed over a three decade period, quiet ‘til they had a chance to strike. Then they began a massive bombardment of the Cliveastone planet.”

“Wait! You’re telling me that the Patrol destroyed them when there was no reason for it?!” Sam cried out in disgust.

The Queen sadly nodded her head. “It wasn’t long after that many worlds were suddenly falling under the protection of the Patrol. It was also about this time that that a great many massive executions took place. All of this was under their protective rules that they quickly installed.”

Samuel’s face quickly twisted into a mask of massive rage, but calming only when the Queen gently touched his arm. “I should crush all of them!” Sam shouted startling the Queen.

“No, not yet. What you did today has possibly saved our planet from them and their agents. Also what you did for the Prodons.” The Queen replied.

This time it was Sam’s turn for his mouth to hang open. That had only been what? A few hours ago at the most? “I knew that they had powerful minds, though not by far this powerful!”

The Queen gave Sam what he guessed was a smile. “All free planets are linked now, it is the only thing that stops them.” Here the Queen sighed, “though we may lose that soon I am afraid.”

“Though I am after Mellos first and foremost, I will do what I can to help.” Sam told the still smiling Queen.

“Thank you Sam of the Cliveastones. It brings me great joy to know that a few of your noble race still exist.” The Queen stated as she bowed again. “You now have all of our loyalty.”

Sam also bowed to the Queen, “I was glad that I could help. If you ever have need of me again, just call I’ll return as fast as I can.”

A third gasp arose from the Queen’s throat. “We are equals noble sir. You’ve no need to bow to me.” The Queen said with a large smile.

“Perhaps, though this is your world. I therefore am only paying you the respect that you deserve in your realm.” Sam said in all honesty, causing the Queen to nod at the wisdom that Sam was showing.

“Ah! I was correct, you are of that most noble race. I am also surprised that you have still have your abilities here.” The Queen asked full of curiosity. “Our atmosphere was one of many that was said to weaken your kind greatly.”

Here Sam smiled, “I lived, well, grew up on a world with an atmosphere not unlike this one. It would appear that I grew an immunity to it so that it no longer affects me.”

This made the Queen smile even larger. Immune? Nodding her head, perhaps this time they’d all have a chance for things to be put right. Not like what had happened with Mellos. The female sighed as she hoped that this one was as strong as she felt he was.

Telling the Queen good-bye Sam was about to leave when half of the smaller versions of the Queen popped out of the ground. Nodding with a shocked smile Sam nodded then took off into space.

The Queen felt bad for deceiving Sam. She just hoped the path she sent him on would truly help their cause.

According to the Queen, Sam should follow the path that she had sent him on. Sighing he opened a worm hole slipping in. He was only there maybe ten minutes when he appeared not far from an orange, gaseous giant.

Trying to fly past following Mellos energy trail, he almost made it when he saw a titanic battle below. Shaking his head, then sighing, Sam took a last long look at the energy trail then turned heading planet ward.

Far, very far below, a tech ran to his commander. “Sir! I’m picking up the energy signature of the being that command sub-commander advised all posts of.”

“WHAT!? It’s here already? Pull out all the anti-cliver gas guns. I want all troops armed. Call the garrison, command and the General’s home.” The commander yelled issuing orders.

“Sir! What of what command said of him being immune to the effects of the gas guns?” The tech asked.

The Commander was deep in thought a moment before he answered. “Good point, advise the General and all his men to leave planet side. Have all ships ready to depart as fast as possible. If as Command says he is immune then we need to be ready to leave.”

The tech rapidly nodded as he ran off to convey the orders. After a mere twenty minutes all was ready.

Slowing, still surveying the scene below, Sam was surprised to see several I.P. ships leaving the planet in a hurry. Well that’s a few less to not have to deal with he thought.

Again as before landing with a thud, Sam soon saw that the indigenous race was in a losing battle at the moment. Walking toward them, he saw several bristle then relax as he walked through not making a threatening move. A central group a ways off drew his attention to them.

Stopping before the group Sam quietly waited for them to make the first move. “From the bravery you just showed, you are either the biggest fool I have ever seen or this Sam, Queen Triada told us of.” The obvious leader said.

Quickly bowing to all of them he heard many gasps. “Are you not a Cliveastone? Why are you bowing to us? your people were one of the most noble of all the races.” Said another that Sam could only assume was the second in command.

“As I told the Queen, this is your planet not mine. I am only here to help. I therefore give you respect in your home.” Sam told all that were there.

The leader stepped forward on its strong spider-like legs. “You realize that if you help us you will make an enemy of the patrol.”

Sam turned to look back at the army of I.P. people. “They I think,” Sam said with a growl. “Already believe I am their enemy. They may be right as I get further into this.”

The leader’s eyes opened wide then it nodded as he took Sam showing him all that they knew. Pulling the leader aside, Sam looked for ears on the scarecrow thin head. Shrugging Sam whispered a few moments then lifted off flying toward the I.P. men.

A quick shout from the commander had all the I.P. troops firing their gas guns at Sam. Shocked a moment Sam flew a cloud of air almost identical to that of Earth’s. Stopping a moment Sam sucked all of it in then turned blowing it straight up at an accelerated speed. No sense poisoning the air of those that actually live here he thought.

“Retreat! Now!” The Commander of the I.P. troops shouted as all of them rapidly pulled back to the field of ships. Smiling with a nod Sam flew toward the I.P. troops grabbing the Commander at blinding speed. Then just as rapidly returned to the leader of the people of the planet. “Release me! I shall make sure that you die!” The commander railed and spit at Sam.

Slapping the Commander across the face, Sam growled back in the man’s face. “I know that you were told I was immune. Yet like the good little soldier, you only thought of nothing but glory. What a fool! I saved the I.P. the trouble of killing you. Besides I think that they would relish the pleasure of killing you for disobeying orders. So for me it’s a win all around.”

With that Sam threw the I.P. Commander on the ground at the foot-like protrusions of the leader of the planet’s troops.

Nodding the leader bowed to Sam. “We should take the planet back in no time now with all of them gone now.”

Sam nodded as he looked up watching well over a hundred ships rapidly leaving the planet. “If you have need of further help you have but to ask. I’m happy to help.”

The leader shook its head. “You made them leave, once we are back in our strongholds they held, we will be able to hold. Leaving them in the first place is what gave the I.P. the advantage they needed over us. Never again!” The leader shouted as did the rest of those that were there.

“Go our friend,” the leader said as he clapped Sam on the shoulder. “Queen Triada has given you a clear path. Be well friend.” With that all of those that were there bowed low to Sam. Blushing Sam nodded then bowed to them, lifting off into space.

[Queen Triada, Sam just left. We will start re-establishment as soon as we are back in the strongholds.] The leader thought.

[Good that will recreate the triad in this sector again. If you have need of him again, call us and the Prodons, ] came the Queen’s thoughts. [He has freed both yours and their worlds? Perhaps as you said there is hope again. I take it you are sending him to the next sector, ] the leader asked.

[Yes, after what he did here, they might react far quicker than you think they will. Please hurry, re-establish so we are all ready for them this time, ] the Queen replied. The leader smiling, lead all of those with him forward dragging the cursing. spitting Commander of the I.P. troops.

Only about five minutes from the orange gas planet Sam sighed. Another worm hole? Creating another he slipped in, this time traveling for half an hour. Finally dropping out he emerged near a grayish world.

Looking hard at the energy trail Sam was startled when he saw Mellos’s ship. Flying full speed toward it, he stopped vanishing at the hull.

Appearing inside Sam saw another female strapped to what appeared to be a table by several restraints. “Are you ok?” Sam asked the obviously scared female.

Her lips quivering she barely whispered, “No please help me!” Reaching out Sam easily snapped the restraints on her arms. That’s when Sam heard someone rapidly approaching.

Sam swung his arm back catching the same blonde man from before sending him crashing into the bulkhead unconscious. Turning back Sam snapped one of the restraints off the female’s legs. Then he was hit flying away from the female hit from the side by a great force.

“What in the hell do you think you are doing? I need her to finishing healing where you stopped!” Mellos almost screamed sitting on Sam’s chest her legs on either side of him.

Flipping up surprising Mellos, Sam threw her across the room. To his surprise Mellos flipped bouncing off the bulkhead with her legs, heading back toward him. Smiling she thought she had him, ‘til he caught her slamming her to the floor.

Landing with a loud crunching, thud, Mellos tried to remain conscious to no avail. Damn it she thought. almost had him! Then her eyes closed into unconsciousness.

Sam rushed to the female still on the table struggling to break the last restraint. Snapping it easily, Sam could see that she had greatly weakened it. Smiling Sam stepped back as the female tentatively got off the table. Looking over at Sam, she seemed afraid to move.

“Would you like help getting home?” Sam asked. When she only nodded Sam smiled larger. “Can you show me where exactly you live on the planet?”

When she only stared at Sam with a look that said she thought he was crazy, Sam slowly moved closer. Flinching away from him, “what are you doing?” She cried trying to get further from Sam.

“I just need to touch your head. Think of where you live, before I touch you. You say when, ok?” Sam told the female.

Looking hard at Sam a few minutes, the female very slowly started to nod, yes. Then as Sam reached over she quickly grabbed his arm with a speed and strength he hadn’t expected. “Nothing but a touch!” She whispered.

Sam nodded, then she released his arm, he then gently touched her head. Seeing her home, he then also felt her abilities start to open. Good he thought she appears that she’d going to be alright after all.

“Alright, take my hand. We’ll appear outside the ship then I’ll fly us down.” Sam told her as she slowly nodded taking Sam’s hand.

Appearing outside the ship with the female, Sam started down toward her home. When she pulled away from him, Sam smiled as he flew next to her ‘til they touched down. Nodding at her Sam suddenly turned at a shout. Turning he saw the approach of several I.P. troops making their way toward the both of them.

Sighing Sam shook his head then he felt the female back away trembling. Damn it! Sam thought she’s still scared because of Mellos. Oh well, he thought. Then he heard the female scream as she went down. Growling fiercely Sam knocked the men around her out, picking her up Sam took her out of sight. Feeling his rage grow Sam took to the air a murderous look in his eyes as he headed back to where the I.P. troops were searching.

Chapter 4

Landing with a thud Sam looked at the I.P. troops that were moving his way with an almost murderous rage. “There it is!” He heard one of the troops yell. Several pointed there gas weapons at him as they started to advance.

They were only twenty yards away when Sam held up his hand. “Unless you wish to seriously piss me off? I advise against you using those weapons. You see I am immune to them.

Several of the men started to laugh as they advance further, a look of supreme confidence on their faces. “You’re nothing but a savage that we will expunge from the universe!” Laughing at least twenty started to fire at Sam.

Standing for a few moments Sam wondered just how long these idiots would stand there when they saw that their toys weren’t working on him. A few moments later there were several loud shouts as more men started to enter the area where Sam and the others were.

“Trooper report,” a man obviously in command said a moment later as he entered the clearing.

“That, thing, told us he was immune, at least twenty of us used the gas guns. As it stands right now it appears that he IS immune to them. I believe sir,” here the trooper gulped, “that we are in a lot of deep shit!”

The commander pushed the man out of the way as he advanced to where Sam was still patiently standing. The IP commander was about to speak when Sam held up a hand. “I have a suggestion.” Sam said between angry, clenched teeth. “As of yet I haven’t tried to make an enemy of the Intergalactic Patrol, though if things continue as they are, I damn sure will.”

The commander gulped hard at the renewed murderous look that crossed Sam’s face. The man started to speak then snapped his mouth shut. Again he tried then again thought better of it. Sam was about to move off when he heard a familiar voice.

“Samuel Ray?” The female voice said. Snapping his head back toward the commander; Sam’s eyes narrowed.

“Hello Drivas. I take it you are nearby? Good I think you should get here real damn quick. I’m very close to harming every trooper here for what they have done. Especially calling me a thing. I don’t think the galaxy would miss this foul bunch!” Sam shouted.

“We are almost there Samuel; I ask that you spare them for now. I’m sure that an apology would placate you?” Drivas asked.

“Don’t think so Drivas, though most of them dead would work!” Sam said seething.

Sam heard a sigh, “If you could hold off for a few time frames we will be there.”

Sam thought about it a few moments still not sure he wanted to wait as pissed off as he was. Finally nodding his head he replied. “Alright I’ll wait, though if I don’t like what you have to say then there are going to be a lot of hurt people.”

“Good, be right there,” Drivas told Sam.

A moment later a ship touched down then Drivas and Thellus came out approaching Sam. As of yet Sam still hadn’t moved from the spot he’d stopped at. Though holding his temper Sam felt it start to slip as the waiting was irritating him to no end. “Alright I waited. What could you say to possibly deter me from hurting all of them?

Smiling Drivas stopped in front of Sam... “As I remember you saying you really had no desire to make an enemy of the I.P. I just figured that you were still in that frame of mind.”

Shocked a moment, Sam’s face twisted to a grimace as he replied. “That WAS the way I was feeling. Although to be treated as something that is not considered to be alive has turned that desire to nothing.” Looking straight at Drivas Sam growled. Then his head snapped toward Thellus who suddenly screamed holding her head.

“NO!” She was shouting as her eyes went wide. “How? You have no training.” With that Thellus gasp then promptly passed out.

Turning back toward Drivas Sam’s eyes narrowed, “I suggest you not try either. I can feel that your mind has been greatly boosted. Though I don’t think you would succeed, you can try if you want. After you wake up you can tend those that are left alive!”

Sighing Drivas placed a hand on Sam to halt him a moment. “If you do this then we all of the I.P. will be your enemy, that includes the both of us. I do not wish this Samuel. How can we mend this situation? I for one do not wish to fight you.”

Calming a moment Sam thought. “One chance, they ALL leave NOW! They don’t come back or I’ll know. I have powerful thought friends out there, I’ll know.”

Drivas nodded as she looked at the shaking commander, “I suggest,” She started to the male. “That all troops and officers are evacuated from this planet as soon as possible. The sooner the better. I also suggest that if you ever encounter the individual in front of you again you’re more respectful. Now GO!”

The Commander was about to open his mouth when Drivas stared at him making him shake uncontrollably. “Yes special agent! Right away!” The male said falling over himself as he started to bark orders.

Turning back to Sam Drivas nodded, “Will that do Samuel?” She asked.

Sam was deep in thought for a few moments. “For now Drivas for now. I’ll remove all the rest of the I.P. monitors as soon as they are gone. So are you following me?” Sam asked.

That was a preview of Sam. To read the rest purchase the book.
