Sharjasanian Chronicles: Premium

IX: The Fight Against Seokga

I am Lord Shacc, the guardian of Sharjasania. Thanks to my work, a dozend of planets in the Sojuran Galactic System and beyond are connected. This also means that people from other planets visited and chose to live in Sharjasania. Recently, a strange woman in a metal suit entered Sharjasania. 

She was invited to talk to me and Administrator Weraya. 
"So this... this is Sharjasania? Is it true that this is the place where the last of Bulkkoch resides? Where are the other three Sovereigns?", the woman asked. 
"Let me get it clear first. Who exactly are you, and what do you search?", Administrator Weraya asked. 
"I? I am Luan. I heard from this planet's Daifuku Inc company that Seukaheu resides on this planet. I secretly took one of those spaceships and that's how I eventually ended up here", Luan said. 
"Who is Seukaheu?", Administrator Weraya asked. "Where are they from? What is your relation with them?"
"Seukaheu.. sukahu... Sukafu. Sukafu? Is it him that you are searching, miss Luan?", I asked. 
"S-Sukafu? Who is that? Did Seukaheu change his name?", Luan asked freightened. 
She was clearly in distress. Judging from her looks, this woman came from Bulkkoch. That is a similarity with Sukafu. It's very likely that it is him she is searching.
"Wait one moment please, miss Luan. I will get Sukafu here", I said. 
In about half an hour, I brought Sukafu to the interrogation room of the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven.
"Luan? How are you... still alive?!", Sukafu said surprised. 
"Seukaheu! Did you change your name?!", Luan said confused. 
"Let me get this straight real quick. Who are you exactly, both of you?", Administrator Weraya asked. 
"I am Sukafu, one of Bulkkoch's Eight Sovereigns. After Bulkkoch's collapse, I fleed from the snow planet in search for a new home. Luan is one of them as well. I ended up on another small snowy planet, called Horohoro. Well, it's technically a dwarf-planet. There were no real civilised humans there, only some snow-like creatures that mumbled some things. I tried telling them my name at least, but they only kept saying Sukafu. So I adapted my new name. I was repetedly fed snow radishes. Let me tell you one thing, it was a pain. Then a group of people that covered their eyes plundered the planet and destroyed it. Among them was the mecha that destroyed Bulkkoch. After thanking the small group of remaining snow creatures, I left Horohoro and followed the mech. That's how I came here. The people treat me nicely and there are Bulkkeans here. Though, they look a bit different", Sukafu said. 
"I am Luan, one of Bulkkoch's Eight Sovereigns. After Bulkkoch's collapse, I fleed from the snow planet in search for a new home. I didn't encounter a new home, so I had to keep raiding bypassing spaceships and find out where they'd end up. that is how I came here", Luan said.

"Bravo! Bravo!", Harmony Officer Talia, who was just walking by said. 
"Right... so, Luan, why are you here? You are reunited with one of your peers. I'll register your information in the database and you'll be granted a Sharjasanian citizenship", Administrator Weraya said. 
"Well... as I've mentioned earlier, there are still two other Sovereigns left. Do they live here?", Luan asked.
"Never seen them", Sukafu replied. 
"What exactly happened on Bulkkoch?", I asked. 
"First a tall mech crashed onto our planet. They electrocuted a lot of people and then destroyed the hearthfire. While a massive blizzard occurred on the planet, one of the citizens became part of the Phaser Flame legion", Luan said. 
"Wait, Luan. They probably don't understand anything about the hearthfire", Sukafu replied. "My friends, very long ago, Jowangshin, The Hearthfire Lord gifted the people a fire that kept the population alive. Bulkkoch is a cold snowy planet. Even after the Lord's passing, the hearthfire's warmth melted the snow from the planet and made sure that we wouldn't freeze to death. The fire was kept burning every month as we offered gifts to the fire, and in return the fire would keep burning. But the mech's interference destroyed the entire city and the hearthfire was part of it".
"Right, we have collected enough information", Administrator Weraya said. "My job is done here, goodbye".
Administrator Weraya left the interrogation room with a gloomy face. She still doesn't like her job. 

"Wait! Hm... Lord Shacc? Is that your name? From here to Bulkkoch, there are connections right?", Luan said. "If I beg really hard, will Sharjasania help us go back to Bulkkoch and revive it? I think that Sina and Eun have returned to the planet". 
"Sina? Eun? Who are they?", I asked. 
"The other two remaining sovereigns", Sukafu said. "There was me, Luan, Sina, Eun, Heijeu, Beojin, Hanabi and Geom. Heijeu, Beojin, Hanabi and Geom all died in battle against Sui Itoru while the other four of us escaped the planet. There's a good chance that Sina and Eun are still alive". 
"Right, and we all shared the molten forge of the Hearthfire Lord. These rings hold significant power. It surprises me Heijeu and Hanabi couldn't figh against Sui Itoru. They were the strongest of all", Luan said.  
"Right, I will communicate with Intelligence Officer Tyrkys and ask what'll be the next step", I said. 
I walked over to the communication device. I clicked on Intelligence Officer Tyrkys' profile and dialed his electronical device. 
"Hello? Intelligence Officer Tyrkys, Intelligence Officer, Owner of Hexcorp and Purpacola Incorporation. Oh, it's you Shacc", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said.
"Tyrkys, I have a potention Hexcorp client here. Well actually, these people require interastal help. Mind coming to the seat?", I asked. 
Using the god armour's surfboard, Intelligence Officer Tyrkys was here within a few minutes. 

"Mister Sukafu and...", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys said. 
"Luan", Luan replied. 
"Ah, Miss Luan. So I need to help here? What's the thing?", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys asked.
"These people are requesting a transport of Hexagon Armed Automatons. It'd be best to have you with me, because we are heading to Bulkkoch very soon. You probably know that they have a lot of robots there", I said. 
"That's great. Though, does anyone here have the ability to understand the past?", Sukafu asked. 
"Kemono, the soul literate!", Intelligence Officer Tyrkys and I said at the same time.
"Understood. This evening, we will be departing towards Bulkkoch. Intelligence Officer Tyrkys, prepare a spaceship that is large enough for automatons and five people", I said. "Luan, Sukafu, go and have a chat with eachother. I'm sure that there are many things you two want to talk about".
All three of them nodded as I left the seat. 

"Hello there, miss Kemono", I said upon going to the place where she usually is, the Piscatoria District. "I have a question..." 
"Huh?! Huh!? Lord... Shacc?! A-again? H-hello! What is it?", she said surprised. "Am I that special? Y-you can just call me Kemono!"
"Yes you are. Kemono, the Seat Of Crabskiff Heaven once again demands your aid", I said. "Outworlders from Bulkkoch require aid for the planet's revival, and your aid can help. This evening a spaceship will depart to Bulkkoch. Meet us at the space terminal if you'd like to travel with us".
Kemono nodded enthusiastly.
"Right!", she said.

That same evening, the spaceship departed from Sharjasania to Bulkkoch. Bulkkoch is around two days faring even with the most advanced technology. All interastral connections between Bulkkoch have been suspended long time ago, so I had to pilot the spaceship myself. It was most likely going to be a very boring two days. Luckily, Intelligence Officer Tyrkys, Sukafu, Kemono and Luan had a nice time talking to eachother about their background, cultures and hobbies. Who would know that a spaceship flight would help people bond?
It was a boring but flawless and safe journey to Bulkkoch.
Upon entering the snowy planet's atmostphere, all of us felt cold.
