The Interplanetary Visit

SEB

In a last bid to turn the tables, the SEB director cried through the intercom. "We have to make a last attempt to destroy the warships. Engage Bermuda technology!"

A voice blared back to the SEB director pod filled with static, "But it is only in development! We do not have the power to maintain it!"

The SEB director sighed and said through the intercom, "We have no choice, engage it NOW!"

Three SEB pods formed a triangle, enclosing the battlefield. The SEB director who was one of them pressed the audio intercom and commanded, "NOW!"

Immediately, rays of light linked the SEB pods up. It was the Bermuda Triangle technology. The SEB pods began to generate powerful magnetic waves that disrupted the IDS warships. The PEIDB pods were magnetically shielded with mechanisms that all the secret government vehicles must install to assign immunity against one another's offensive weaponry. Its effect could now be seen clearly. The IDS warships began to wobble. They shot tracking missiles, but the magnetic fields messed up the targeting systems.

Quickly, the IDS warships switched to laser attack; however, the SEB pods dodged the lasers easily without breaking the Bermuda Triangle technology. This was one last SEB technology that IDS had failed to steal or discover.

The tables were once again turning.

A coat of dust and pebbles fell and covered the weakly shielded pod. The structure continued to fall under the great weight of the entire Andes. The mind battle raged on between the two superior aliens. Their eyes interlocked. The area before them remained void of all dust. Though unseen to the human eye, both the aliens could sense their psychic energy pushing against each other. It was a test of psychical stamina.

"You're good... to... be able to... hold out... so long! It... is... a pleasure... to meet a worthy... foe now." Saterina said.

"Time... is... relative... You're... not... bad your... self." Ken said, fighting to keep his psychic powers going.

"Looks... like... we'll be... buried... together." Saterina said.

"Mind you don't... lose your voice... or... mind with all that... mental screaming. For... people who don... t... know... you... they... might think... you are... mentally... unsound... You know... with... your voice... at the... background... screaming while... you physically... aren't...," Ken replied.

"Oh... don't bee... worried about me... mind you... don't get... a headache." Saterina replied sarcastically.

At this moment, the terminal was very close to the pod dragon. The problem here was how it was going to make the ninety degrees turn up without coming in contact with the sequence that was just right at its back. With its neck craned downwards its scaly chest, the pod made a last bit and blew red fire at the sequence, destroying part of it and delaying it as it quickly swerved into the terminal.

As it did so, its tail uncoiled over its back.

The sequence swept through, eating away a small part of the tail.

However, the danger was not yet over. The sequence was still behind it, though much slower as it squeezed through the narrower exit terminal. The pod dashed for the input hole before it. It must close and seal the input hole before the sequence reaches it or the sequence will override its circuits in the physical world.

Slowly, the supplementary Earth IDS warships were wiped out.

Many Martian IDS warships were destroyed as they gave away their own locations, as they did not have projective invisibility for their weapons. It took a while for the IDS Martian Commander to realize that they were being tricked. And a cease-fire was quickly ordered.

The Jupitian warships moved slowly. During the time when they were stalemated, the Jupitian pilots had their rest. The warships themselves had obtained enough energy now for a full-scale attack.

Now, the Jupitian warships were simply hanging around, waiting for the IDS warships' power to be drained. It would not be long till the Martian IDS warships were forced to come out of the stealth and the cloaking. Their technology had not reached the level of being able to recycle their energy or utilize surrounding energies. The fleet from Earth had mostly been crippled, only a handful of them were present, but they kept their distance and stayed in Earth's interplanetary space.

The remaining handful of the SEB pods joined in, forming triangle after triangle till it was now more of a Bermuda Polygon. A few more triangles and it would jolly well be a Bermuda circle. The IDS warships continued firing lasers. Occasionally, one or two SEB pods got knocked off the Bermuda polygon but they still had the gaining edge. The IDS warships' aiming systems and the other targeting devices were badly affected. They now made incredibly easy targets for the PEIDB pods. One by one the IDS warships were destroyed.

The Bermuda Polygon had successfully disrupted their communication systems as well as their attempt to radio their allies on the space battlefield. PEIDB director was having a good time taking revenge for his dead agents.

"For Jack and Jeremy and many others!" Ethan shouted as he sent lasers towards the IDS warships that spun around like a top, obviously out of control under the magnetic influence. A wild missile headed for his way. Quickly, he sent the pod roaring up above the missile and watched it as it crashed into another IDS warship disintegrating it.

"Don't... be... too... smug... Jupitian boy," Saterina said to the Jupitian Prince, both still engaged in the psychic battle. "Even if... you defeat me... the replicated sequence... can always... destroy Jupiter!"

"Jupiter already... had the... shield up... did... you think... Jupiter... would... be... easily... destroyed?" Ken struggled to speak.

Both were about to be on their knees with exhaustion.

Saterina scowled. She took a deep breath and her annoying psychic screaming intensified. Ken skidded on the floor backwards as he struggled to push back. It was now hard to match Saterina's power. Not only was Saterina older and more powerful, she was also backed up by her anger and desperation. The only chance he had, was to divert her mental attention.

A small fireball began to form above Ken's head as he diverted some psychic energy. His pyro blasts were beginning to fall back along with his silent sound waves as he diverted his energy. Saterina laughed, stopped her psychic screaming and leapt aside as the Jupitian Prince's telekinetic waves and pyro streams hit the computer behind. Turning to reface each other, they resumed their psychic battle.

A whole chunk of the roof came down behind Saterina.

In a pretentious hoarser voice, Saterina said, "That was too noisy."

"Yes... you... seem... to... have... lost... your... voice with all that mental... screaming." Ken struggled to smile.
