"Oh no!!"
Dax turned and watched as the Ordons destroyed his village.
As if feeling Dax's gaze, one of the Ordons looked directly at Dax and gave a loud screech. The other Ordon raised their heads and saw Dax too.
Damn .... I should have run as mother told me to
The first Ordon raised it's wing almost the size of two airplanes and flapped up into the air.
It's companions followed suit and they flew directly at Dax.
He wasn't fazed that much, accelerating at almost Mach 2.5 in less than 2 seconds he was one of the fastest beings in the multiverse.
But the Ordons weren't slowpokes either, They gave Dax a hot pursuit chase.
The Ordons, one of the most powerful species, were similar to a dragon, both in looks and almost in size. But the problem was that they needed to always have a master, whose instruction they'll follow till death. And they did gave a master.
Ha had given them an instruction
"Wipe out the Xeran community..... Make sure no one survives"
And they've completed the mission -- the first part anyway
If only they'll catch this little Xeran brat
One Ordon swooped down like a bird of prey and crashed into..... the  ground
Dax risked a glance behind him and looked directly into the eyes of a leading Ordon. He stuck his tongue at it and ran even faster. Then he felt a gathering of energy behind him
Uh-Oh....BOOM
The rock on which Dax had been one - thirtieth of a second before blasted into cinders.
An Ordon had released kind of plasmic energy from its mouth.
Running in the dry plains like this one was fun for Dax because you could reach your maximum speed. But it gave nothing for cover.
Running. Dodging. Jumping. Swerving. Dax ran as if his life depended on it.... Well, his life did depend on it. If one of those plasmic bursts touched him... He'd die without even knowing what hit him.
One burst of energy shot far above and ahead of him, he turned back to see who was such a lousy aim. He shook his head at them and then boosted even faster.
They had no chance at catching him. Except.....
He had lost concentration and ran into a crater caused by the plasmic burst that went far ahead of him. He crashed. And tumbled. And rolled. Until he crashed into a large boulder.
He realized he had twisted his ankle and probably broken some bones... And the Ordons were still chasing him.
In about 30 seconds they surrounded him and looked at him with triumph written all over their faces
He looked at them, not wanting to show the fear he was feeling. Then he felt the gathering of energy. Only this was more than usual.
Then he knew. They were all going to combine their plasmic bursts together and disintegrate him. But he had a feeling they were going to do it slowly.
There was no hiding the fear this time. He started s shaking. Shaking at a cellular microscopic level.
Fear had clouded his mind that he didn't even know what he was doing. The boulder behind him had started glowing yellow.
The Ordons shot out the blasts. In that same moment the boulder swallowed Dax. The last thing he felt was Pain before he entered Darkness. Utmost, infinite darkness.
