Chapter 22
The repairing operation was underway to fix the major damages that Terra’s ship has received from Phoenix’s ship.
“Launch the unmanned fighters now” said Kaydos so the preparations of launching them has begun which was equal in size to a modern day earth fighter jets.
Kaydos tactic was simple; he wanted occupy their cannons of the Terra’s ship so they can fix the damages faster and also the fighters was smaller in size so they can make damage but also will be hard to hit.
Kaydos was busy like never before, he had to plan tactics with the general in the ongoing war against Manod and he had to examine the reports that he receives about the situation on earth which he was examine one of them during the battle. It showed mixed news, some was good and some was bad. It said that the resistance was getting the defeat of their lives on the hand of the monsters that was gathered from everywhere in the galaxy. And the reports also mentioned that the monsters and the zombies was having a bitter fights, this this piece of information caught Kaydos’s attention so he asked the observers through a device like a cell phone about the matter and explanation he got was predicted; the illness that turn humans to zombies that was carried with the monsters we sent was making them also be out of control.
Kaydos thanked the observer and he began to analyze the situation to take a proper decision; whether call back some sons of the kingdom from their duties to fight on earth and finish it quickly or destroy the whole planet after taking down Manod. But at the same time the war against Manod may last for a long time and the war with humans already cost so much that they need to cover the costs from the Earth’s resources. “I can’t call back the sons of the kingdom, our expansion is very important” Kaydos said to himself.
“Lord Rad…are you awake?” said Diana trying to communicate with Rad but he wasn’t free. Despite that matter she wanted to talk with Rad about was a priority but Rad was training his huge body. And he had a plan that he was thinking about it for days.
“What do you want, Diana?”
“I wanted to tell you that no one has respond until now”
“It’s alright…they started to fight each other anyway”
“Who?! Kaydos and Manod?”
“Yes, they weren’t friend after all”
“What you’ve been doing?”
“I was training my body”
“What?! How? You don’t have any equipment or a partner to train with”
“I training with my own energy blasts, firing them and trying to stopping them in this small space…I must be resilient enough for the time I get out of here”
There was silence for a moments before Diana said: and then you will bring back what belongs to you…your kingdom.
“No, I will rule over the both kingdoms…Terra kingdom and Phoenix kingdom will be mine”
“How? Manod is stronger than ever…it won’t be easy…how you will do that?”
Rad interrupted: it’s not your business…I will kill this bastard no matter what.
Diana freaked out and said: s-sorry, my lord.
Meanwhile on Phoenix’s ship…
“Why don’t use our gamma cannon to disable their ship?” said Raman, Manod’s supreme minister and his friend.
Manod was on his throne in his royal room eating from a bowl that full of different types of fruits when he said: no, they probably be able to avoid it and if we used teleportation to get closer the explosion of the impact will cause damage to us to so I want to wait until I see an opening to take them down with one blow.
“They chose this fate themselves” said Raman
“Especially that old man Kaydos…he would’ve never know that I developed my abilities so I can read the minds”
“Yes my lord, you will be a great king of the two kingdoms and every small galaxies in between”
“That’s right…you know Raman?”
“Yes my lord”
“But keep it a secret between you and me”
“Your secret is in a sea with no bottom, lord Manod”
“This powers I have…I stole it”
Raman was shocked and his eyes were wide open but he couldn’t believe what he heard in the beginning. “Excuse me my lord…I think that I didn’t hear you well…you said you stole them?”
“Yes that’s right…I wished something from the lady of miracles”
“Who is the lady of miracles, my lord?”
“It’s a powerful entity that can be summoned by saying certain words I learned it from an old man who was a leader of a small kingdom before I kill him, you can summon her one time in a year…just one time”
Raman was frozen in his place as he was listening to Manod before he said: any wish? Anything I wish?
“Anything”
“You mean you forced him to reveal his secret?”
“exactly…and I wished to have powers just what like Rad have…that was 5000 years ago and I haven’t wish anything but lately”
Raman was barely controlling himself to not reveal his fears as he was listening to him before he said: but why? Why you don’t use it so much?
Manod smiled before he said: it’s nothing but politics…politics…I want everyone to have expression about me that I can achieve anything with my own efforts…In other words I do whatever I want.
Raman was amazed at how Manod manage the situation and also at his way of thinking, Raman was thinking that if he were Manod he would wish to have the power to rule over the whole universe.
“Excuse me my lord…if you have this power why you don’t just kill Kaydos and every one of them in an instant?”
“I can’t…this entity don’t do evil…and my target is Rad not Kaydos”
Raman surprised by what he just heard: What?! But he is imprisoned.
“He will get out and I will fight him”
Raman’s mind was swimming. The way Manod was thinking is too dangerous, so he said trying to dig deeper: my lord, I don’t understand…if he is imprisoned…why you want so badly to fight him?
Manod silenced for a moment before he said in gloomy voice: he defeated me in the past…so easily...he beat me like I was nothing…it was a bitter defeat that I thought about it every day and I can’t forget the look on his face when he decided to keep me alive and he just…turned his back on me and left.
“That’s why you wished to have a powers like he have”
“Yes”
Manod is a warrior and he still have the mentality of a warrior despite he became a king, even if he was mercenary in the past but he will not use an external energy source to defeat his bitter enemy; Rad.
“Don’t you tell anyone about this, Raman…if your tongue slipped, this will cost you your life, you hear me?” said Manod with a terrifying tone.
“Of course…of course my lord”
