Convergence: Rise of the Eternal Empire

Eleven

"Your Excellency, we are not far from planet Earth. Should I order to prepare for attack or...?'' Zinjai asked.

''No.'' Zinyak said in a low voice answered.

"But...''

"I said NO!'' the voice became annoyed.

Zinjai winced a bit but tried to figure this out.

"Your Excellency, why not, may I ask?''

"Because there is something that prevents me from doing this, so I don't want to risk my precious life once again, my dear Zinjai. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone with my thoughts...''

"Of course, Your Excellency.'' Zinjai bowed and left the room quickly.

"I never thought that humans were strong enough to fight against me or even win. Maybe I was too confident and arrogant? Now I can only curse myself for standstill... I had a perfect chance to kill them all, but I didn't. What kind of idiot I am!? Zinyak, the greatest emperor of universe and the leader of the Zin, falls against humans... But not against ordinary ones. He falls against... The Saints. How pathetic!." He reached for his neck and rubbed it. "When the leader of the Saints said that he's going to rip my neck off, he wasn't lying and I felt it for real. It still hurts inside. Not physical but emotional pain. And my pride. It's broken and devastated! However, I learned from this lesson a lot and won't do this ever again. I better live with this shadow rather than be killed again. This is the reason why I told Zinjai don't take any actions against this planet and it's inhabitants. I already know, what will happen if I attack Earth and what kind of price I will pay for it. No matter how strange this may sound but I have to say: I am really grateful that Saints TURNED THE TIME BACK. No matter how much I curse them I will be indebted to them. So, all I wanted to do is just leave them in peace... for a while... and see what happens next...'' Zinyak ended his thinking and closed his eyes listening to the silence of the room but a thought crossed my mind again. "What to do now? Where should I go? Or maybe... let's do something unexpected..." I pressed the button on my right wrist and contacted with Zinjai.

"Zinjai, you there?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. Is there something you need?"

"Actually, yes... I want you to do me a favour..."

''Anything..." Zinjai answered, hoping that his lord changed his mind about attack on Earth.

"I want you... Could you make me a cup of tea?'' Zinyak asked calmly as it was a simple order.

"..." there was a silence on the other side.

"Zinjai? Are you there?"

"Um.... Is this some kind of joke, Your Excellency?" Zinjai asked a bit unsure about this.

"WHAT?! HOW YOU DARE TO ASK NONSENSE SUCH AS THIS ONE!? OF COURSE IT'S NOT A JOKE! IT'S AN ORDER! SO DO IT OTHERWISE I WILL EXILE YOU FROM THIS SHIP! UNDERSTAND?!" Zinyak yelled more than he needed.

"Yes, right away, Your Excellency!" Zinjai responded with big feeling of fear and was about to turn off the connection when I asked him.

"Oh, and Zinjai..." this time he asked quite calm.

"Yes, Your Excellency...'' Zinjai responded again waiting for worse.

"For your punishment as you were that tactless I ORDER you... to bake me a hundred cupcakes! Don't forget to add chocolate and bananas."

Zinjai let out a deep sigh and finished the conversation.

"As you wish, Your Excellency."

Few minutes later, Zinyak was already eating his 78th cupcake while thinking invading Earth.

Zinyak: *[Looks at the holo of Anastasia and Amras still in their simulation]* I wonder what I can study from these two specimen.

Suddenly, Zinyak's ship rumbled and shaked a bit and the observation decks lights came off. "What is this?!" Zinyak demanded and when the lights came on, two individuals appeared before him. Angry.

*[Zinyak's eyes widened in shock. As of his eyes were tricking him]*
