Winds Of The West

Frantic Search

"Madam,galaxy €31 is under attack!"A crew member came running into the main office. "Teleport there immediately!" Captain Mia commanded. "Yes,my lady." The man bowed and left.

The captain sat on her desk,hand clenching her forehead. Two search teams in three days. Destroyed. She hadn't expected any less from him. He was strong and everyone knew that. That's why they had to do this. They had to locate "the heir",before the psyched man could. Just how much longer would it take?!

They had been searching for years and years without a trace of him. Battling The Order was no joke. It took a great deal of power, a large army and a shit ton of ammunition to do so. But in the past few months,they had noticed the calmness in Avatos's behavior. And it was what led them to believe that he had found the location.  That is why they had to find him. Quick.

Just then,there was a knock on the door. She got up and sat on her chair,with her hands on her desk,resuming her original position. " Come in." She said,hoping for the best. "Captain, The Oracle demands your presence right away." Said the woman,dressed in saffron robes. She was a companion to The Oracle.The captain nodded,and followed the woman to The Oracle's chamber.

The Oracle was a beautiful woman,her long flowing hair as white as snow. Her eyesight was taken as a sacrifice for her all seeing power. She had outlived the normal life expectancy of any creature.

She was the one who declared that the Alliance must find the heir without delay,otherwise there would be a total collapse of all the systems. As a result,the captain had sent search teams to almost every galaxy to locate him.

Mia walked into the room. It always had an aura of it's own,calling on a person's inner spirit. Mia couldn't deny that she felt at peace in there,momentarily forgetting all the tasks at hand.

"He has located the heir." She said,feeling the captain's presence in the room." You must stop him before it is too late. It is far too dangerous to let Avatos take control. " she half whispered,looking out of the little window,her face full of pain. "Yes,my lady,we are working on it. We are making progress." Mia said,feeling hopeless. She knew she had lied,but what else could she say?

"Do not lose hope,Captain." Mia heard her say. "You cannot lose hope. Millions of lives depend on this mission. You mustn't give up." .

"Yes,my Lady. Forgive me. " Mia said,turning around to leave. She didn't want to worry the lovely woman.

In the silence of the room,as she was about to leave, she heard the Oracle whisper under her breath,"He's here."
Right on cue,all the alarms began to ring. "Security protocol has been breached! This ship is under attack!"
By now all the blood had drained off Mia's face. She ran out of the room and into the commanding centre. "What is going on here?!" She yelled,trying to clear her mind.

"Captain,the first level of security has come down! We are under attack by the Order!" said commander Ross,adjusting the knobs to get the camera to focus on the area where the disturbance was coming from. Mia watched on as the camera came into focus, revealing a figure. A figure with a terrifying face. She watched as he looked right at the camera and it turned off automatically. The whole command room that was panicking suddenly went quiet. Not one sound was heard,except ragged breathing. Commander Ross sat there,petrified. All blood drained from everyone's faces. No movement.

"Everyone! Listen,we know who the enemy is now! We have to work fast!" Mia yelled,regaining her senses. Everything was still for a moment,after which everyone started running around setting the traps up. All the soldiers were being summoned. The enemy was The Order. And leading it was Avatos himself.

"Security level 2 is down! Enemy is approaching at very high speeds!" Commander Ross exclaimed. "Soldiers! Are you ready?!" Mia commanded. They all saluted,knowing they would never come back. She saluted back,pain filling her soul. They marched off and Mia ran to her room to pick up her Sonic Blaster.
