040. PRINCESS ATARA OF ALFHEIM, TRULY A MYSTERY

Chapter forty

"Princess Atara of Alfheim, truly a mystery." 

Atara and Rocket were standing in a hallway helping other children get to safety "domo. Domo. Domo. Domo." Rocket and Atara said, as the kids headed in the direction they motioned to, Atara noticed Rocket staring at the room in front of them and when she looked at it, she realized what this part of the ship was, where as he walked in she followed behind him, seeing a bunch of animals in cages but most importantly a bunch of baby Rockets.

Rocket then pulled a key card out of his pocket and move it down the key card slot unlocking the cage, he opened it and when he did, he saw what the words were for what kind of animals they were and seeing the word Raccoon, he then looked to them all "they're like you." Atara told him, and as she did, Rocket began grabbing them all, where as one of them fell, Atara caught it, as they looked at the other animals, knowing they couldn't leave them there.

"You!" the high evolutionary voiced, as Atara moved Rocket behind her, she watched as he walked in, all the other raccoons ran away "you thought you could escape me!" the high evolutionary voiced, pulling up a gun, he pulled the trigger, as it hit Atara, she fell to the ground, as Rocket looked down at her his eyes going wide, remembering how the same thing happened to Lylla, but before he could check on her, the high evolutionary held his arm out and used his powers sending Rocket into the ceiling, Rocket groaned "no!" the high evolutionary voiced, throwing Rocket to the right as he hit into the electric, he screamed.

Falling down to the ground, he looked down the hallway, he saw the high evolutionary coming toward's him "you think you have some worth in and of yourself, without me? No!" the high evolutionary voiced, using his powers and making Rocket fly into the wall above the doorway "your an abomination! Nothing more than step on my path, you freakish little monster!" he voiced, putting Rocket on top of the ceiling "how dare you think you are more, 89P13?" the high evolutionary asked.

As Rocket used his gravity boots, landing on the ground, he pulled out his gun "the names Rocket." he told him, as he saw Atara pushing herself up off the ground behind him "Rocket.." he said, as his gun cocked "Raccoon." he said, shooting him, the high evolutionary flew back, screaming, he got back up, but as he did, Atara notched an arrow and shot it at him, shocking him, she ran toward's him, she grabbed him by the arm and flipped him over, where as he got back up, she punched him in the face, and as he stumbled over.

He went to come at her again, but Atara had put her bow back around her and pulled her belt off, revealing her sword, she then stabbed him in the chest with it, as he cried out in pain, Atara remembered the story Rocket told her, as she brought her free hand up to his head, she began peeling off his face, and as she did, she brought her foot up and kicked him off of her sword as he fell down.

Rocket walked up to him, missing how Atara looked down to her chest, seeing the blood from the gunshot wound "look what you did to me. For what? All I wanted to do was to make things perfect." the high evolutionary shared "you didn't wanna make things perfect. You just hated things the way they are." Rocket shared, as Atara looked back up at him "Rocket we've gotta help the rest of them." she shared, looking at the high evolutionary "he'll die on his own." she said, as Rocket turned running off to the cages, Atara turned to follow him, the high evolutionary laughed "you'll die with me." he told her "he doesn't need to know that." Atara shared, putting her sword back around her like a belt, and walking off to help Rocket.

Where the two had helped all the animals escape as they were running down the hallways and headed toward's Knowhere "come on! Come on, keep it moving!" Atara voiced, but as all the animals kept running, Atara fell to her knees and as she did, Rocket stopped turning to her "what..what are you doing! Come on, we're almost there!" he voiced, motioning behind them, Atara shook her head "I can't.." she told him "what? What do you mean you.." Rocket was asking her, but as he did, he noticed Atara bring her hand up to her chest and when she brought it down, it was covered in blood, her blood.
