she
was cutely freckled, but was less prominent. “Oh, wow. Let me
guess, the famous Netul?” his ridged forehead dipped forward
slightly. “Seems I need to chew my brother out for not informing me
we have such an important guest aboard.”
    “ Good, everyone’s all here.”
Renee jumped a little.
    “ Here for what? What is
going on? You weren’t to leave for Zerika for at least six more
hours.” Jessica tossed her curly hair back over slim shoulders and
clearly expressed confusion.
    “ Oh, well, I thought it
prudent you come to show off your Gravity Forge to Emperor Coleson
in person. What better person to show what it can do than the head
honcho we’ll meet in a few days.” The nonchalant way she spoke made
her aunt sputter before collapsing in faint. “Stars! I never get
tired of that.” Renee walked over, giggling, to gently slap her
loving aunt back to reality.
    Eventually Jessica promised “I’m going to
strangle the life out of you one of these days you whore.”
    “ Bite me bitch… Ow!
You bit me!” Renee
clutched the offended hand that just got assaulted by perfectly
straight teeth.
    “ You told me to. It’s your
own fault for putting your hand so close to my mouth.” Jessica
shook her head clear as she got up off the ground. “Are you
serious?”
    “ About what?” Renee
currently glared at the depressed tooth marks.
    “ Showing off Oliver, Stephs
and my invention to the Emperor personally? What else would I be asking about,
Nitwit!”
    “ Got a decent chance since
he wants to see my Idiot so badly though I can’t figure out why.
Besides, Stone has been itching to put the heavy ass fighter to the
test since Olly finished it two days ago. It’ll be a huge income
boost since the emperor will want a million Forges easily. And to
make a near indestructible ship from your Gravity Forge idea will
have him salivating. And when he go back to Earth… well you know
how it’ll effect the economy once Earth spreads the word. The
credits will never cease filling your account.”
    “ Money I can handle… the
Emperor… well, I may need a shot of adrenaline so I don’t faint in
front of the man.”
    “ Got you covered.” The
bracelet Valek was brandished. “Okay, Netul, send us
away.”
    “ Close your eyes
everyone.” He warned as he did the same and
looked up. Then came a brilliant bluish flash.
    Silence aboard the large interstellar
sailboat instantly changed to noisy insects that were an explosion
considering where they just left. Cool air altered into hot and
humid darkness.
    Sparky’s long neck snaked the head closer to
his rider and was literally glowing from snout to tail near
instantly when a screech came from above.
    Ligers reacted first and one of the smaller
females used another like a stepping stool to launch herself into
the air and snatched a large Beast that dive-bombed from the
forest’s canopy. The maw of the Liger clamped down on the prey and
between sharp fang and crushing jaws, its screech was silenced. A
head thrash doubly made sure it wouldn’t get up before she spat the
feathered prey to the ground for her cubs.
    Stone said “A Razor Beak. Nasty piece of
work. D-Rank, but their namesake is deadly. We must be near their
nesting grounds and the light must have startled it. Sparky, turn
your glow down.”
    “ Very well.” The ten meter long Drake replied, lowering scaled
lips revealing curved and sharp teeth.
    Utilizing his chip, Oliver activated a
function to look around and say “We’re about eight klicks from the
village. Netul, is there a reason we’re so far away?”
    The Creelin nodded. “The Archivers decided this was adequate based on
the fact the cubs will endanger the humans who are and will be too
curious for their own sake. From what your Match has told me there
will be likely many thousands unaware of the danger they do not
understand. The adults will be overprotective among so many
strangers.”
    “ Then why don’t we fly on
over to the Solarian city
