Chapter 13

I heard a number of screams coming from the ground as all the pieces started to die.

You still won’t defeat us as long as the leader lives, so will we! It screamed as it finally died. Shit I thought as I went airborne. I had to wipe all the minds here about what had happened. I then started to retrace all the way back to the ship, making sure it was all destroyed.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I felt nor detected any of it left. I checked all the females as I placed them all back in their campground. As far as I could see, they were clear, of both memories and the aliens.

I then felt a couple of my fighters going down. I was beside them instantly. Two I managed to save, though the last I was too late. I held the youth as tears started to fall from my eyes. Why? Why hadn’t I been able to stop this?

“I am so sorry that I wasn’t here. You shouldn’t have tried to do this yourself. I will do all that I can to make sure that this never happens again. I vanished, appearing in my house.

I collapsed with the youth in my arms, tears still flowing from my eyes like a river. I looked up and saw my daughters, my old crew and the other four reps of the four races.

“I will never allow this to happen again.” as I transmuted to energy and flew at accelerated speed. I appeared on the Xetron homeworld, grabbing the leader and destroying all the breeding vats. I then looked at the leader as he sneered at me, we will rebuild better.

I cuffed it, as I thought, not with you, I sent with heat.

You won’t destroy me, you are the new fifth race, you don’t, it thought.

Wrong! I thought as I broke it in half, shock on its face, as life left it’s body.

I was almost uncontrollable. I started to go through much of the facility. I destroyed all there that I met.

I swear I could hear my daughters calling out to me, though I chose to ignore them. I also thought that I felt the other four reps of the races trying to pull me back.

I don’t think that they took me slapping them back too well. Finally, there was nothing moving nor alive there. I felt the doors to the place open which felt miles away, I was there instantly destroying those also.

I stopped mid-strike with what appeared to be a child of the Xetrons. This, more than anything, actually stopped me. I reached out feeling no evil from it, nor its parent.

Huh, I thought, perhaps not all of them are like their leader. I immediately felt a hell of a lot calmer. I was back in my house in what felt like seconds.

Everyone there started to back away from me as I arose off the floor. Apparently, I was still glowing from the rage I had felt.

“Dad?” Bell asked with a shake to her voice. “Are you OK? What did you do?”

Trina knelt beside me as she tried to put her hands on me. “You have grown more powerful; I can’t get near you. Dad let us in, you are growing weaker, please.

I sighed as I tried to relax, feeling my daughters and Alice managing to touch me. Thing is, what they were all trying was a mere tickle. Not all that much, though it was better than nothing.

I closed my eyes as the trickle was helping, though I needed more. Almost immediately, the four races appeared around me.

We felt a great disturbance on the Xetron home world. What have you done? Xeinther said, a look of concern on his face.

I looked at the four races, anger starting to rise within me. I told all of you that I would not allow them to hurt any of us. I failed, so I went to their world. I destroyed all the vats and almost all that were there. Most especially the leader, as I broke him in half.

All of them looked at me with shock in their eyes. This is not the way that we, Dutenner the fish like being started.

I DO NOT CARE! I blasted my thoughts out to the four of them, knocking them off their balance. The acceptance of the loss of life is NOT how we do things here on our world. I stared at each one of them as my eyes started to glow. If it is? Then I will withdraw from being the fifth race, that is nothing but unacceptable.

I saw Dutenner the fish being, Skatnes the praying manthis behind it and Kanderith, the mostly water being staring at Xeinther.

This we do not wish to happen. You are the strongest ally that we have ever had. The last time a race left the great races we were unable to save them. They broke completely from us. We do not wish your people to suffer as they did.

This started to calm me a bit. I was about to think more thoughts when both my daughters appeared beside me. They both had a shocked look on their faces as their mouths hung open.

How in the hell did that happen? I heard Trina say, I didn’t feel you, and we were suddenly here.

Yeah, Dad bell thought. I was as worried about you as Trina was and, poof, we were suddenly here. Bell looked at my face then started to growl as her power spiked.

I smiled as I felt Trina also spike as they climbed higher. What has happened, that you are so pissed off, so bad, Bell thought.

Welcome the daughters of the earth, Xeinther started, then was quiet as both my daughters glared at him.

We weren’t talking or thinking to you! They both almost screamed, which shocked me. It also shocked the four before us.

We meant no disrespect. Xeinther tried again, only to be glared at again with more intensity.

I was still quiet as I was deciding just what to tell them. I sighed, then interrupted. I am upset about their views about the enemy. I destroyed almost all that were in the building I was in, including the leader. I broke him in half.

Both Trina and Bell’s mouths were hanging open after I revealed this. I looked at all four of the reps, as I glared. One as young as the one they killed should not have to have been in combat. As I said before, if none of you like it, then we will continue on without you.

As we all said and agreed this, we do not want to, with you and your people, the universe might calm. Though, as you know, that is not a certain thing nowadays.

Yeah, I know, but to attempt to stop a lot of this I feel is more than worth it. Now, I am going. I’ll let the four of you decide if we are in or out.

With that, my daughters and I vanished from the think space as I called it. I breathed a tired sigh as my eyes opened. I wasn’t really giving a shit whether they kicked us out or not.

I had just about had it being told that I could do this or that. I had damn near killed the man that had been my handler, especially what he did to my nephew.

I was still keeping tabs on him as yet he was still in hospital with multiple fractures. I knew that he wasn’t going to heal all too soon either. I made sure of that.

I had also tried to purge all the nightmares that the assholes had planted in his mind. I was still looking for those idiots who didn’t know that they were almost dead when I found them. They thought that they were so strong no one could hurt them, they were wrong!

As I was sitting there, I actually detected one. I entered his mind as he was laughing at me, at first. That’s when I started to pull on all his pain centers at the same time. I knew he was at his end when his screaming reached a fever pitch, then I planted the nightmares.

As I left, I saw that he was in another center that the government had. I grabbed the director of this one as I broke his arms and legs in multiple areas. I then severed his spine enough to paralyze him for a long time.

I had managed to get where the second ass was before his mind started to shut down. Damn, I had been so close when I got the second asshole.

I immediately left and attacked the second male. This one was a little stronger though, really nothing compared to me. This time I saw that there was a general there. I might get more answers, I thought, as the man donned a helmet.

I tried to get what I could from the second mind warrior, as they were calling them. Unfortunately, the ass didn’t know much. I stripped his mind as I reached out for the General. I laughed at the helmet.

I got quite a lot from the man, though only one location of a mind warrior. I sighed, there were at least this one and five more. Plus, there were a great many in the government that needed to go.

I mean, there was protecting the country and the world, though not like these asses went about it. There was far too much pain and suffering that they were and had inflicted.

I sighed. I thought that I’d be better at finding them than this. I was reaching out again when I felt a warning from the four races. A warning that I shouldn’t kill my own people. I’m not, I snarled back.

I felt shock at my reaction to them. These people had the power to hurt a lot of people and needed to be stopped as they thought they were untouchable.

If you wish to dessert my people, then just do it. I am tired of arguing with you. I then broke the connection, which shocked them even more.

I was hoping that that alone would convince them how serious I was. I was starting to get pissed at how much no one was taking me seriously.

I guess I thought that they thought if they needed help I would just bow. I hoped that they were ready for me to refuse. I was not a puppet to use. I realized that I was being a dick, but I couldn’t help it.

I again reached out to the Xetron home world. I had to make sure I got all of them. That’s when I found one that was worse than the leader, how had I missed it?

I started to attack it when I felt it start to laugh. You really think that your weak mind can defeat me?

This got me mad again as I hit the shield it had around it’s head as hard as I could. I bounced off pretty hard, though, I felt it crack and what I assumed was blood ooze out.

That’s when I heard the screams start. I hit it again, though this time it hurt like hell. The resounding crack I heard caused even louder screaming, then silence.
