CHAPTER HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX
XAVIER'S POV
When I realized that the heart of the ship was missing was immediately it was taken but I couldn't believe it. It was such an important part of everything and I didn't expect that to happen.
Dumb of me because it was the most obvious thing for an enemy to take but I realized I'd been treating these Draks with some levity and not seeing them for what they were.
So by the time I confirmed it with my own two eyes, it was already too late to do anything.
I crumbled so fast and had to rely on Tessa to even sit. Funny how I wanted her to rely on me, yet it was the other way around and it hadn't even been a week since I made her that promise.
The pain wasn't even the most hurtful part, it was the emptiness and my absolute uselessness. I had to be moved into the human quarters and they watched me in my worst state, seeing the mighty king that they'd known be carried like a child.
My pride was hurt but I couldn't even focus on that. Tessa’s life was literally dependent on me holding my other version in a solid state. One mishap and she'll be shot down.
I focused all my energy on it, hoping this would actually work because it was one hell of a plan.
I watched from the window, thankfully, these weren't broken, and they couldn't see through it, and I watched their interactions.
When someone finally got out to talk to her, I started translating everything I could to the command room, hoping they'd be able to help if need be.
But it was draining and I was loosing strength fast.
“They're coming in to check out her story,” I whispered into the intercom and cut it off, unable to speak a word more.
Suddenly I hear Zyx’s pattern of running as he dove down to where I was hidden.
“We need Nexarion!” He yelled in panic.
“What?” I croaked in pain and confusion.
“I'll explain later, we don't have time, Nexarion, now!” He yelled and I couldn't even clock the disrespect, he was simply trying to keep us alive so I gave him the key.
“Be…careful,” I whispered but I doubt he heard it, he was in too much of a hurry.
A few minutes later, I realized why.
Everyone was falling under the influence, hard.
I'd spent the last six months of my reign before we left Earth, weaning them off it and now, Zyx had gone and unleashed that thing on them and in uncontrolled dosage.
I was immune to it but in my current state, my body was incapable of working properly so instead of making me weak or sleepy, it made me delirious.
But I held unto one purpose, keep that other version of me solid no matter what.
As disoriented as I was, I knew when they stepped into my ship and began ransacking through it, killing my people as they went.
I couldn't do anything, stuck in a state of confusion and weakness.
I stayed that way for a while, struggling to breathe and sweating profusely, something I'd never done before.
Suddenly, it was like I was a light bulb was flipped on inside me and I woke up. Thankfully I still had a hold on my other form, I guess that was on Xy'thern because deep in our core, we knew our Luminari's life depended on it.
I stood up and began walking out of the room I was in, still disoriented and confused but I let Xy lead us. We didn't have the strength to shift so it was the best I could do.
Like a child, I wobbled to the direction we were heading to, each step increasing my awareness inch by inch.
Then I walked into a room filled with chaos and violence. I was being shot at, that I was sure of but I was out of it for the most part, and everything sounded so far away.
I had the biggest urge to lie down and sleep but tiny pricks were hitting all over my body and I couldn't. It was annoying.
Suddenly, a hand stretched towards me and I looked at it curiously, stretching mine towards it.
He pulled me closer, making me stumble before he steadied me.
Another pair of arms, this one familiar took me in.
“Baby,” the sweet voice called me and I didn't understand why but she didn't let me say anything, only hugging me closer.
Gradually, everything began to make sense.
I couldn't help shedding a tear when I realized she'd made it back safely.
I called back my other body as it contained lots of my essence which I needed as I was still weak.
Immediately I got it back, I felt like myself again just as Zyx got hit.
I was happy that Tessa wouldn't be here to see me fight these assholes because it was going to be a mess.
Xy'thern already scared her before and I know what it took for them to form a bond afterwards. There's no need to spoil it all with the gruesome event that was about to happen.
The anger of everything overpowered us as we unleashed hell on them. I didn't even bother stopping them from coming, they were dying on impact.
“I can do this all day!” I yelled over the sound of dead bodies dropping.
I had to use my telekinetic powers to clear the room of dead bodies every five minutes, giving room for more to come and get killed.
“We need more bullets!” Lyra-en yelled into the intercom and I looked at it for a second.
Tessa was supposed to drop Zyx and get back to helping them produce bullets.
I quickly helped them reload before continuing with the Draks still popping in like snow flakes.
This held on for fifteen minutes until half of their ships were decimated and dead bodies surrounded us.
It was the type of massacre that they would spend a lot of time mourning if they had emotions.
But it seemed they had finally gotten tired of dying and they suddenly started retreating, teleporting back before I could kill them.
I wanted to go after them but I decided to let them go, two of their ships would be assembled from the wreckage so they could run with their tails behind their legs. The next time they attack, I won't be so merciful.
I put the generals in charge of the Command room and went in search of Tessa. It was not normal for her to be far from me in such circumstances.
