“You.“ The King had made it clear to Gharow. “If anything happens to me, must take Prince Iophan and hide him somewhere safe away from here, far away until such time, he is old enough to stand in my place. You, will assume the title of Lord Regent, in my place and rule with my Queen, until that day when Iophan can take his rightful place, upon the throne.“ Iophan always listened to Gharow. He had no reason NOT to trust someone who had been a part of his life for so long and who he had the greates of respect for. Loyal and faithful.
Helping to contrive the story, that his father wanted him, to attend, be a part of, the prestigious Kets Akademy. Gharow had shown Iophan, the Globesat and Akademy newsreels on WHY it was THE place for Kets to be. Iophan was completely taken in by the story. "We need you to lie in the capsule and ensure that it is ready should we need it, for your use." The capsule may have seemed a little odd. Still he was convinced enough to allow them to seal him into the gel like interior and trigger his life support systems.
He was now asleep totally oblivious to what was happening in space with his father and the fleet. Or the enemy. As for the enemy. They were not seeing the craft that had left the planet and vanished into the deep darkness of space, headed towards the Kets Akademy planet of Onica.
The Mirago were too busy celebrating. “NOW the planet is OURS and the people are our slaves and everything on this miserable world belongs to US! Take the fleet into orbit around the planet. Deploy the communication black out satellites into their planets atmosphere. Initiate the EM pulse to wipe out all of their technology."
Total and absolute subjugation was to be their intent. Cajera their leader, could not understand WHY there was NO panic on the planet below. Imaging from probes sent in showed the planet’s race going about their daily life as if they, the invaders didn’t exist!. “Have they no fear. What race can there be that is so stupid as not to fear us?
He peered at the screen in front of him as he saw the orb leave the planet. Drift into the middle of their huge battle fleet. He had no concerns, it resembled a coms droid. So, at last this pathetic race wanted to communicate with them. Surrender? He watched as the orb picked up speed, Spinning and spinning. Weird sounds coming from it?
They thought it was some kind of coms language that they did not understand and were busy trying to decipher or interpret what was being said? Suddenly across the screens on all of the vessels, a message flashed up. Clear and in THEIR language? The message simply read... ‘A gift from the Queen of the Arahi and the Arahi people'.
Metallic in form, a distinctive blue color, with a shiny almost what we would call highly polished chrome outer shielding? It started to illuminate? Bright intense light? Sections of the device move out liken to segments of an orange. (Hmm Terrys chocolate orange!) But still retaining that round shape with a clearly defined central core in the shape of a ball?
A soft cloud like mass, blue in color drifted from it? The segments move back to join up, seal and the thing began to spin, picking up speed. No longer stationery. It is now moving across the fleet. Spikes of different colors, dance across their craft in what we might have called, a lazer light show spectacular. Eyes on it, mesmerized by its hypnotic display.
To the eye of the savage, it was that stupid races attempt to sumon some empathy from them for their plight? To have mercy on them? After this was over the full on invasion was to begin with the launch of the EM Pulse emitters. Followed by the invasion force. No mercy was to be shown to any of them. This? This, was to be taken as a trinket, to give to his daughter, as a toy.
Picking up speed the orb spun to those watching on almost a blur. A SURPRISE? Another device that had been launched without them knowing it. Their eyes had been focused on the orb and what it had been delivering with its light show fantastic? From this device, burst of energy. A weapon of sorts? That blue mist that had spread across their craft?
When the weapons full force was felt by the craft, that blue mist, appeared to amplify the energy weapons effect? Their ships began to rattle. Shake. With a massive explosion it cracked and disintegrated into pieces. The targeting array on this weapon was beyond anything they had ever seen. One by one, they started to disintegrate.
ONLY one of the Mirago vessels had survived.. Cajero stunned to see the fleet, destroyed with such ease. The device he now recognized all too clearly. Knew from history the warning about a planet with such a device and NEVER to pick a fight with them! The Omnicrom. Too late as he felt the force of the weapons energy wash across his craft. Pieces of debris. Nothing else remained. Minutes later the Orb returned to the planet, the Omnicrom device securely tucked within it. Gharow assured his Queen. “He is safely enroute to the Akademy. We shall know shortly of his arrival.“
Serenia, had been working with Corky, to locate the trapped Kets. She was called to one side and handed a coms device. Gharow! She moved to a part of the chamber for privacy, Secrecy! He had nothing to worry about. Iophan would soon be under her wing. Protected. Unknown to anyone other than herself and Gharow. Serenia had more than her missing Kets to worry about, something else, was about to happen, that would have the security forces on the alert.
Back at the Akademy?
