To Admire

Ch7

"Come on Zander. You at least have to admit that escaping a battle cruiser is more fun than having people drone on about the importance of proper grammar at you." I say as we make our way through the tunnels.

"And about a hundred times more dangerous." He replies unhappily. We reach the end of the corridor.

"Get down!" I yell, and pull him down behind a crate. A man walks by, and uses the retina scanner on a door. I look past him and see the bridge. I think my eyes lit up because Zander was already on me.

"Your not thinking what I think your thinking are you?" He glares at me.

"I may not have enough focus to do this in open combat, but I can do it now." I smirk at him, and he looks worried. Hostile takeover commencing in five, I hold the door, four, I levitate their guns from their holsters, three, I knock all of them out with the butts of their rifles, two, I hop into the captains chair, one, Kiriah's spear is pointed at my chest....

"Nice try little demon. I know of your treachery now." She snarls at me.

"Think again, general. We are going to talk, and you are going to shut up and listen." Zander is flying behind her with his tail pointed at her neck. I'm not sure at what point in his life he decided to buck up, but I'll take it.

"I expected more from you," She looks at me. "letting someone fight for you instead of fighting yourself."

"Says the person that let their men blast me to oblivion." I smirk at her, and she snarls. "Just be glad that you're not dead. You know fair well how easy it would be for me to make you."

"I don't see what good talking will do you. Even if some how you convince me you're not demons, I would still be forced to kill you or take you prisoner again. Otherwise I would be betraying my people and my lord, so if you don't mind, would you just spare me the story and kill me now?" She gave me a serious look.

"So you think you have the choice of dying as a monster, or living as a traitor." I said. She looks down at the ground and grits here teeth. She must expect us to be stabbing her through the chest right now. It hits me, she knows exactly whats going on, shes going to sacrifice herself... No way in hell I'm going to let that happen. "Well I'm not giving you either choice. I'm taking you with me. Zander, tie everyone up, and do the same to anyone that comes in." He salutes, and proceeds to use their uniforms to bind the unconscious soldiers as well as Kiriah. He binds her by the hands and gags her with a piece of cloth. I look over at her and she nods her head towards the corner of the room. I look over, and there is a black surveillance camera. I walk over, and smash it to pieces. She spits the cloth out, and rips the cloth binding her wrists. I don't move.

"I truly hope you are proud of yourself. You made me question whether or not my entire life was justified. I want to gut you, but what if you're innocent? What if I singlehandedly caused the death of a number that isn't enumerable amounts of sapient species. I think I'm going to cry." She spoke softly. Zander gave me a worried look.
