Armageddon x (Book #1)

Chapter 20: Operation Beta

Seeing Touka unwillingness to move, Hollin throws in the towel. Lowering his gun, he sighs loudly afterward. "Let see how long you can protect it?" he said. Giving the other a finger signal, they all lower their weapon as well. 

Walking ahead in front of Shin, Touka and the little alien. He tells them to hurry up, the ship should be arriving soon. "Once it gets here, we are leaving this planet at once." Walking slowly but closely behind Hollin and the other. 

Shin carries the little alien in his arms like a father carrying his child after getting tired from playing. Touka walk right beside him. 

"Thank you," Shin in a very grateful tone said to Touka. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't help because I changed my mind about her. If I did nothing, Hollin would have killed you right there on the spot," she said. "But still you did help," Shin softly replied. 

Touka then tells him not to get too comfy yet. "All I did was just to buy you some time. Once we get back off the planet, Hollin will get back on your case." Her voice sounded a bit worrisome.  

"I am sorry, I keep causing you trouble," the little alien apologize. "We agree, If I get you off the planet you would tell me where planet Zoan," he replied. "You are still willing to help me even after knowing the truth about me?" she asks. "Then what the captain said about you is true?" Shin asks. "Yes, he is right, everything he said about me it all true," she mutters softly.

"I am not a good person."

"Everything else, the promise we made is that a lie too?" Shin asks. Escaping out of the tunnels the same way Hollin and the others got in the front place. They all retreated to the surface. Things seem like it has calm down a little up there. 

The city is still in an uprise but not has active as before. They use this chance to move around the city until the ship arrives. 

Over at the Armageddon X control tower. All the operators are in a frenzy asking for the general because something is happening. Walking down the hallway a man dress like a general with many medals all over the uniform enters the room.

"What seem to be the problem?" he asks. "General Wolford, we pick up on a recognizable ship heading toward Planet Enel." Recognizable ship?" he asks as he rub his giant white mustache. "Show me," he said.

The operators show the general the giant warship just right outside the planet. Worry he felt when taking a glance. "That ship... it belongs to that man right," he said looking concern. "That is right sir, but the problem is that princess Touka, Captain Hollin and his team all went to planet Enel for a mission, but they haven't return yet."

"We aren't able to get in contact with them either." 

"Wherever that ship goes destruction followed soon after," General Wolford whisper to himself. "How much energy does the ship have?" he asks. "The core energy is around 50%, enough to get use further away from this sector, but are we going to leave the princess on her team behind?" they ask. "Of course not, that warship maybe a walking calamity but we are not the kind to leave our rightful leader behind."

"Activate the ship defense system and stay on guard, if he tries anything we will blow them to pieces," said the general looking very serious. "What about the princess and the others?"

"Don't worry I will send in someone to go find them," the general replied.

Back over at Malieek place. He is extremely upset and franticly tapping his fingers on his wrist and stomping his foot on the ground. "Why haven't they found them?!" he yelled to his gang in the same room as him. He is so angry that the metal spikes on his head are heating up. Emitting a red glow like when a metal rob is left for too long in a blazing fire.
