Ardnix: Chapter 6
Far From Home
Far From Home
~As Thomas fights Kerobun hand to hand he can feel the punches from Kerobun effect him far more than his own punches effect his foe. "What the hell are you?" Thomas asked backing away a bit.
~Kerobun grabbed Thomas by the face and lifted him up, "I am a superior being. Don't dare cross me again if you value your life." He threw Thomas to the floor and walked away slowly. "Zifried," He said to his follower. "Hurry up and catch the princess. The other is still yet to be found."
~"Superior my a**. I'm not done yet." Thomas said standing up.
~Zifried was following close behind Kayla. "Sorry, but no time to be messing around." He said leaping of her head and grabbing her.
~Kayla screamed and yelled, "Let go of me freak. What are you doing?"
~"You have no right to ask questions. You are only to come silently and listen to what you are told, understand?"
~Thomas ran at Kerobun full speed. When far from Kerobun he jumped, Kerobun prepared to guard a high attack but, Thomas landed on the ground in front of him. Before Kerobun could react Thomas did a leg sweep knocking Kerobun on his back. Thomas quickly jumped on him and began to pummel his face and chest.
~"ZIFRIED!! Teleport her back to the ship with you. I'll be along in a minute." Kerobun yelled
~"Time to go now princess." Zifried said.
~"I am not going anywhere." Kayla replied.
~Jimmy was running as fast as he could. He just caught up to Kayla and Zifried. "I don't think so pal." He said tackling them. As he did the teleportation took effect. All three of them were teleported to Kerobun's ship. Zifried got up fast and called for soldiers. They rushed and and locked Jim and Kayla in the brig.
~Seeing the flash of light created by the teleportation, Thomas got distracted. Kerobun punched him in the face as hard as he could knocking him back. Kerobun got up. As Thomas was wiping his face Kerobun kicked him on his back and began to stomp oh him. "You inferior species infuriate me to no end. You will die now. I have no more mercy for you."
~Jennifer charged at him screaming and pushed him away. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" She kneeled down and raised Thomas' head. "Are you okay? Open your eyes." Thomas was bleeding a little from his mouth, but he opened his eyes and looked at her. "Are you okay?" He nodded. He was breathing pretty heavily from the stomping.
~Kerobun picked up the pole he used to shock Danny. He walked back towards Jennifer and Thomas. He lifted it high above his head like a spear. "Unlike with that sub-creature, this will be very painful." A spike extended from the tip of the pole. The buzzing electricity was moving so fast on it, it was hardly visible. "DIE!!!" He thrusted the spear at them. Before the spear could land a hit, Kerobun was hit back. He was tackled by a panther. It was Danny.
~Danny transformed back into his human form. Kerobun had dropped his pole. Danny picked it up and retracted the spike. "This is pay back you b*****d." He pushed the pole hard into Kerobun's chest lifting him in the air. The shock badly hurt Kerobun.
~Before he hit the ground he teleported back to his ship saying, "I'll kill you both."
~Danny tossed the spear away and walked closer to Jennifer and Thomas. He dropped to his knees and asked, "Are you okay?"
~Thomas only nodded. "He just got the wind knocked out of him. May have some bruises." Jennifer said.
~"s**t!" Danny yelled. "What the hell are Gellians doing here?" He pounded his fists into the ground.
~"I don't understand. What are Gellians?" Jennifer asked.
~"Those people you saw, they are Gellians."
~"But what are Gellians?"
~"They come from a large planet very far off."
~"Another planet?" Jennifer asked skeptical.
~"Help him up and lets go. I gotta help you get your friends back so Thomas and I can leave. I'll explain on the way." Jennifer nodded. She helped Thomas up and they followed Danny as he walked away. "You aren't going to believe a lot of what I tell you, but I assure you I won't lie."
~"I'll try and keep an open mind." Jennifer said.
~Danny took a deep breath. "I am Danny. I come from the planet Asagura. One of many animalian planets. Animalians can transform into animals at will."
~"I got that when I saw you do it, but I still can't believe my eyes."
~"Believe what you want. Some people choose to be ignorant of the truth."
~"And the Gallians?"
~"They believe they are superior to everything. Animalians especially. They call us sub-creatures." Danny said angrily.
~"But why would they just come and take Kayla away? They called her princess."
~"Many years ago there were two kingdoms on the Gellian planet. To unite the two kingdoms, the prince of the northern kingdom was going to marry one of the princesses of the southern kingdom. At this time the three kids were only babies. Supposedly, the queen in the south died of some illness. She told her husband she wanted her daughters to have the luxury she had, being able to marry the men they love. Or so the story goes you see. Months after that the princesses disappeared. No one knew where they went. The king grew sick and had many arguments with the king of the north about his daughters whereabouts. When he finally passed away, the king of the north took control of everything."
~"That is such an intriguing story. What are the chances Kayla could be one of the princesses?"
~"If she is a Gellian than she probably is. The gellians only leave their planet to fight in wars. No gellians are known to live anywhere else."
~"So if they find gellians alive else where they would be the princesses. How could you tell ones race when they look similar? You and those gellains look just like us."
~"Many people have these." Danny said pulling out the electrical device Thomas saw at the hospital. He put it back in his pocket. "They can tell us who is what. Thomas is an animalian himself."
~Jennifer was shocked with all this new information. She partially believed it and partially didn't. She looked at Thomas. "Does that mean he can transform too?"
~"Not exactly." Danny said. "There is a part of becoming a man that gets you those abilities in our culture. He has never been on an animalian planet to take those rights of being a man."
~Kerobun got treated for minor injuries in the infirmary on his ship.He walked out to the main bridge and found Zifried. "Zifried," He yelled, "Where are the two we caught?"
~"In the brig sir." Zifried replied.
~A smile came to Kerobun's face. "Good. I think I'll go have a talk with them." Kerobun began to walk out of the room, but before he did he gave orders. "Scan the planet once more for the other princess. And we are sure she is one of them right?"
~"Yes prince Kerobun. It has been confirmed." Zifried said obediently. "We will commence scanning shortly.
~Kerobun smiled as he walked down to the brig. He first spoke to Jimmy. "You have no reason for being here."
~"No I don't." Jimmy said coldly. "And neither does she."
~"OH, but she does. She is one of the lost princesses from our planet."
~"I find this all awefully hard to believe."
~"Seeing is believing isn't it? Believe what you see in front of your eyes."
~"Believe this." Jimmy said trying to punch him from behind the bars.
~"I was going to let you go, but your friends didn't treat me so well. I guess we'll dispose of you eventually." Kerobun now turned to Kayla. "Do you know how happy I am to see you?" Kayla just stared at him. "Come on, speak." Kayla refused. She was feeling scared and angry. "You should know by now that you are going to places whether or not you want to."
~"I don't understand whats going on." Kayla finally said. "Why did you attack me ad my friends? "Why did you take me?"
~Kerobun shook his head. "It was your friends who attacked me. Quite foolishly I might add. This has nothing to do with them." Kerobun gave her a devious smile and pressed his face up against the bars.
~"They attacked you because you tried to take me away. So far you've succeeded, but why are you taking me?" Kayla asked him demandingly.
~"You should really use a different tone of voice when speaking to me." Kerobun threatened. "You have a role to play and you will fulfill it. You see you aren't like those other useless being on the planet you grew up on. You come from a superior species and you are royalty."
~"What are you talking about?" Kayla asked in disbelief.
~"I am the prince of the northern kingdom of Gellia. You are one of the two missing princesses of the southern kingdom which no longer exists." Kerobun said in a short explanation.
~"But how can you be sure I am? How do you know I'm not just some random girl from earth?" Kayla said thinking she had him with that comment.
~Kerobun laughed. "We have enough ways to know. Trust me, you are who I say you are." Kerobun began to walk away. He pulled something from his pocket.
