way. Today we hit back. No more cowering, no more running. Today will be the day that turns the tide. Let this day be known as the true Protectorate Independence Day."
Cheers exploded from every ship. He knew his words had resonated with their hearts.
Secretly he also believed that the words of his new friend Jaxx had softened them to a change in command once more. Of course he hoped that his significant input on military strategy regarding the Alliance’s response deployments to their impending attack and his vast experience as an Othmarvian general would have earned their respect. He hoped the information he shared regarding Novokin ship functions and tactics from the time he spent on their ships as a slave would help them survive.
Trex ordered the viewer closed, allowing each ship a moment to gather their thoughts and steel their courage before dropping out of hyperspace. In under five minutes the assault would begin.
Trex stepped away from the auxiliary console he had adopted during his time aboard the Razor, and smirked at the indentations his hands had left on the plastisteel mounting that surrounded it. He felt that familiar blood boil and the world began to hyper focus for him.
A mere month ago he would've been elated to be leading such a contingent of fine ships and crews against the Novokin Alliance. However, his mission now was more...complicated. First and foremost he had been charged with the honor of keeping her crew alive. His second objective, one that only Commander Jaxx and Chief Engineer Anya were privy to, was to get himself aboard Asmot's ship, find Caspia and if she was still alive – No! The plastisteel whined and cracked under his hands. He couldn't think like that! The last time they were together he was so near to confessing to her. To telling her the truth. His fist shook with rage. Maybe if he had just told her, she would not have left. Anyone on the ship catching a glimpse of his face would see the fierce scowl of a battle-hardened warrior. Only Trex knew the anger was aimed at himself.
He would find his little Captain, and bring her home, if it was the last thing he ever did.
Chapter 9
"Keep firing!"
Super heated plasma beams cut through the air where I stood seconds before. Finishing my roll across the corridor I ended up behind the protruding column of a bulkhead. Taking aim at the unguarded pelvic region of the Novokin guards that were firing upon us I let a volley of plasma fly from my twin pistols. You’d think that an all male army would have at some point, taken time out of conquering the universe to add protective gear to that overly sensitive area down below. Oh well, these two wouldn't be making any little Novokins anytime soon.
I chanced a glance over at Commander Marco and Julie. The two moved in perfect synchronicity, like a veteran, seasoned team. Her spotting the targets with him laying down nonstop fire from his plasma cannon. Funny, never in a million years did I think I'd be rooting for a Novokin. To my surprise a figure emerged not ten metlars in front of me from a small side corridor. Nearly as fast he disintegrated to little more than a bad memory.
I looked over at my partners in crime. Marco was grinning from ear to ear and Julie thrust both of her thumbs into the air. What a funny girl . She might have deluded herself into believing she was from another galaxy, and with that wild red hair I couldn't fault her for believing in her own fantasy, but she had more than proven her worth.
While moving down the corridor, she used those big knives of hers to destroy every door panel we came across depriving the Alliance of the chance to outflank us. Smart girl. Crazy, but smart. The two darted over to my position and we all ducked into a small corridor.
"How far?" I addressed Commander Marco.
"There are only three more cross ways before we reach cargo bay two." He pointed down the main hallway.
I gripped his arm before he took off. "How far to the
