Moonhawk 2 - The Blackcrow

Chapter 57 - Forces Of Darkness

It looked like that brief time went by pretty quickly once the demonic warship that belonged to Lord Mobulous himself finally entered the mysterious and unknown solar system, where Grimm's roost planet was.

Seven more planets did their rounds circling a star that was unusual than any other in existence; it was a dark star. A star that was darker and was surrounded with the same dark dust particles that Grimm created on his body. This didn't impress Tricon much who was now manning the wheel to navigate Mobulous' warship through space.

But his mind got distracted by someone.

"And you expect me to watch this spaceship travel across this galaxy without being able to help Lord Mobulous!?" Dr. Magnus meant, who was nervously circling in the middle of the bridge's room. Distracting and annoying Tricon with his, whatever this was. "I'm the one who's responsible for his health!"

One of the demonic navigators had enough of him and growled to herself. "Would you shut up over there already? We've arrived at our destination by now."

Tricon, who had also had enough of Magnus' loud and whiny thoughts, stormed over to him to grab him with his claws so suddenly, Magnus did not have time to even react. "Focus. We've more important things to do now and all you're doing is annoy us with your bullshit."

This made Magnus angry. Not because Tricon insulted him but because he didn't seem like to actually see how much they needed Lord Mobulous for this mission. Angered, Dr. Magnus removed himself forcefully and aggressively from Tricon's grasp and brushed the dust free from off his outfit.

Now glaring at the cyborg, Magnus countered back: "Lord Mobulous is just as important, Tricon."

"For you, maybe..." Another navigator whispered and mumbled as quietly as she could, to not throw attention at her rather rebellious thought.

"What? Are you too scared to talk with Grimm alone without Mobulous' help, Magnus?" This was Yessa commenting now on this situation sardonically. "Aww, isn't that cute?"

"Argh! And you have, of course, to say something, Commander." Magnus growled and stormed out of the bridge before he felt a sense of bashfulness rising up.

Tricon saw how Dr. Magnus stormed out but he was powerless to do anything but call out in response. "And where do you think you are going now?"

"Somewhere else!" He yelled back in anger and fury before the mechanical door behind him closed.

"Jeez, what a simp." Yessa mumbled again, ending up with Tricon not reacting to this any further and did a sigh of annoyance before he walked closer to the window to observe the view outside.

During that time, Dr. Magnus was walking with focused fury down the warship corridors, growling in embarrassment and insecurity. His own thoughts spiraled around but this wasn't stopping him to look after Lord Mobulous instead. This was more important for him now than the arrival at planet Priscous. After all, Dr. Magnus always took care of Lord Mobulous weIl-being before so why wasn't he allowed to do the same again?

By that time, Mobulous was highly escorted to their medical station on this ship but when he checked up on the lord's location on the pager, his concerns increased. They were still in the same room where he left him. Didn't their healer do anything to help him? This thought alone created mistrust towards Dulgor the demonic healer and Dr. Magnus stormed even faster down the halls to that room.

Once the demonic scientist reached the door to the room where Lord Mobulous was, he was greeted with an even darker room than it was after they left. Dr. Magnus could barely see anything in here. The stars from outside were the only light source, besides some shining buttons on the walls.
