chapter 4

The place Derek found us is amazing. It's a palace. He got us a suite in the royal queen hotel. Along the floor was a soft red velvet like carpet. The walls where maple wood glossed over to shine and there was a freaking king sized bed in the room. My jaw dropped when I saw it. Derek chuckled "you aren't the only one with deep pockets" he said. I shook my head "it's moments like this I wish I could still feel" max said. "this place is amazing" I said "I've never spent the night in something this fancy" "well I figured my mate would want something special" he said wrapping his arms around me. I laughed "yeah I love it" I said and kissed him. I pulled out of his grasp and flopped on the bed "ahhhhh i need a bed like this every night" I said. I felt the bed move beside me as Derek laid down next to me. I saw his face relax for the first time since I'd known him. "it's funny" I said. he looked over at me "just a few weeks ago we were mortal enemies. Trying to kill the other. Well more you than me, but still. We were enemies and now" he kissed me passionately. I cupped his face with my left hand. "ugh get a room you two....... never mind" max said. I felt my suite ooze off my body and saw it store it's self in the closet. I pulled away and saw Derek blush and look away. I looked and saw I was naked. I smirked. He's so cute when he's being bashful about what he wants. I got on top of him and brought my face down to his "like what you see" I said seductively in his ear. He gulped and nodded. I kissed him deep. "good let's have some fun" I whispered and smiled.

I came to with the room pitch-black. "still night" I looked over at the virtual clock on the wall. While time moved differently amongst different planets it didn't matter. The galactic council created a universal time table for off worlders. Course I didn't need to worry about that. My neural implant auto translated time as well. While I gazed at the clock the time changed to eight in the morning. Strange. I know ventres has no strong natural sunlight it does have a wide range lighting for the planet. Why was it so dark? I got out of bed and walked over to the closet. I opened the closet to find a pile of goo. My suite normally reshapes itself to whatever would offer the best storage. I walked over the bed and pulled off the sheets. Just as I thought. Derek's black and red armor oozed off his body leaving most of his body naked as it pooled "ugh what's with the rude wakeup call....huh" Derek said as he woke up and saw the goo "what happened to my suite" he said "my suite's the same way" I sat down beside him lost in thought "emp's wouldn't affect our suite no matter how strong their oozoni tech" I said "the only thing that would do this to our suites is a massive energy drain" Derek said sitting up as more goo slid off him revealing his bare fur, I blushed and turned away. Not because I was embarrassed, but I needed to focus. "so the question is what could cause both the crossroad and out suites to suffer a massive energy drain" I said. We thought for a while and couldn't think of anything "I've never heard of anything like this" Derek said. I nodded. Then a thought occurred to me "if the crossroad is powerless then not only are we not getting a new ship, where not even leaving the planet" I said. Derek's eyes widened. He sighed "of course this would have to happen" he said "I wonder if it has anything to do with your evil twin?" he said. I hadn't considered that. Still what would he gain by causing a blackout "well where not going to find the answers here that's for sure" I said. I walked over to my suite and placed my hand on the goo "activate emergency protocol alpha 37" I said. The suit glowed and slid onto my body like normal "whew thanks for that. I hate going dark, it's like waking up in a strange place" max said. Derek stared wide eyed "what how is it getting power" I smiled "in the event of an emergency I can use myself as a power source. However, it only works for two hours fifty-three minutes before it starts damaging my body. I couldn't extend the time noir correct the problem" I said. Derek nodded "alright now I just need clothes" he said. I smiled "crimson suit activate simple cloth terminate system's" I said "Derek's suite began to mold to his body like normal "wow cool. Wait it still responds to your voice. I thought I fixed that" I rolled my eyes "you really think I wouldn't have a backup plan" I said "now the suite is just like clothes now. If you need to take if off for any reason just do it normally. Though not to often. The residual charge in the goo won't last but a day" I said. He nodded an hopped out of bed we walked out the door.
