him.
    “You’re not dead!” Taylor sounded relieved.
    “You can't get rid me that easily,” Carlos smiled.
    Kai saluted. “High-Commander sir!” he said.
    “Take me into sector Alpha. There’s a place I know,” Carlos said.
    BOOM! They heard a loud explosion.
    Everyone fell flat on the floor. The ship swayed about violently.
    “What was that?” Q asked nervously.
    “Pilot, sequence gamma-niner-niner,” Carlos said.
    Kai immediately ran to the pit. Taylor stayed in the passengers’ area to help calm the cadets down.
    “Q, you’re with me,” Carlos said and ran towards the back end of the ship.
    Kai entered the pit. The most high tech part of the ship. It was quite small. Five people could probably stand in it at the same time. There was a tall seat in front of a huge panel. A thousand buttons glowed on the panel. Each one told the pilot something about the ship. Kai walked past the two additional seats in the pit and strapped himself to the main one. He looked at the enemy. It was the giants!
    Not the Larger-than-Godzilla ones. It was Nigel and his gang.
    They had taken control of the academy’s ships and were right on their tail.
    “They don’t know who they’re dealing with.” Kai had a smirk on his face. He put the ship into a nosedive.
    He could hear the cadets screaming at the sudden drop.
    The battle had begun.
     

Predator
    Q and Carlos strapped themselves to the chairs at the back just as the ship became completely vertical. Q looked in front of him. There was a huge gun there with rolls of ammo next to it.
    “What kind of sci-fi gun uses rolls?” Q asked Carlos.
    “Take a closer look.”
    Q reached out and lifted them up. A label on it said ‘Nuke’. He dropped them back immediately.
    “No way,” Q said.
    “We just decided they were much cooler than round metal bullets,” Carlos laughed madly.
    All of a sudden there seemed to be more danger inside the ship than outside. Q loaded the rolls carefully into the gun. Carlos just shot at the enemy. He hit every single one of those ships and roasted them; without wasting a bullet.
    Kai waited till the point of no return and pulled the Atlas up from a nosedive. Any further and the ship would’ve crashed into the surface of the planet. The ships that didn’t get mauled by Carlos’ freak fireworks act went on straight and crashed into the ground below.
    Carlos walked into the cockpit followed by Q.
    “That was some awesome shooting!” Q was amazed at Carlos’ potential.
    “I’m not a High-Commander for nothing you know,” he grinned.
    “Well done, pilot,” Carlos congratulated Kai.
    “Thank you, sir” Kai trembled. Q wondered if Carlos was the sort of High-Commander who was feared by everyone.
    Suddenly the ship went into yet another nosedive.
    “Stop that, Kai. We’ve had enough.”
    “I’m not doing anything,” Kai said. His face tensed up.
    “The engine is malfunctioning!” Taylor said in alarm.
    “We’re going to crash!” Kai yelled.
    Then all hell broke loose among the cadets. Remember the classic problem of having three people on a broken plane with only one parachute? Well this was the same situation here, only that there were ten times as many people and no parachutes at all.
    Kai pulled hard at the wheel. Nothing happened.
    “Okay. I think we’ve had enough fun.” Carlos seemed perfectly calm.
    He closed his eyes and chanted an incantation of some sort. His body started glowing. He raised both his hands to his chest. He stretched them out in one fluid motion.
    “Adoris!” he said in a raised voice.
    The ship slowly came to a halt. They were still quite high up but with the speed they had been falling at, they would’ve crashed in seconds.
    Taylor stared at Carlos. She didn’t know that Carlos could do that!
    “Why didn’t you do this before?” she asked him.
    “Well, it isn’t easy to use. It’s quite complicated actually. I can use this kind of power only when I have a certain level of emotional
