Hydrian Galaxy

Chapter 4: Destiny

Ally awakens to discover that the Hydra Government has lost possession of Jackal's body. She is beyond furious and decides to confront Eclipse Knight Soldierson. It is there where she hears a story which ultimately makes her decide on her path.

"Ladies and Gentleman of the Hydra Public Assembly, it is with great sadness that I must divulge that there was an attack on Cookie's estate. Our agents have discovered that Jackal's body has been taken from its casket. It is now in possession of enemy terrorists who plan to burn his body in defiance of our government. We are demanding that these terrorists return the body or they shall be found and executed for treason on behalf of the Hydra Government."

Ally shuts off the television.

She sits silently, pondering if it was her fault that Jackal's body was robbed. She did make the decision to leave it at Cookie's estate but, Cookie should've protected Jackal's body with bodyguards or security...

It just didn't make sense to her. She stepped outside of her quarters. It was quiet.
"The guards must be preparing breakfast or something." Ally thought to herself

She walked towards the kitchen as she looked inside, there were new guards. She felt confused, as she knew that the Royalty District Personnel was highly trained and their jobs were stable.

"Do you know where I can find Vice Admiral Cookie?" she asked a nearby guard

"He just left the estate and is headed the the Hydra Palace." the guard explained, "Something about a stolen corpse."

Ally gripped the soldier's neck and tightened it, "It's not just a stolen corpse, it's my mentor's body."
As the soldier gasped for air, Ally decided to let go as she realized that she was about to kill him.

She let go of the soldier as he fell to the floor.
"Take me to the Hydra Palace." Ally barked at the sacred guard

"Understood ma'am." the guard squeaked

As the carriage began moving towards the Hydra Palace, Ally looked outside at the buildings that towered over Hydropolis. She saw the H.A.T.F Building and remembered about her graduation ball.
She was wearing a sparkly navy dress with a beautiful pearl necklace. As she walked down the hallway, she saw her peers dressed up eloquently and she talked with her old friends from the H.A.T.F. She suddenly noticed a beautiful young man, with silky blond hair and a black suit. She felt her body heating up and her cheeks getting red as she approached him. He turned around and looked at Ally. Ally's eyes were fixated on his, and she turned around in embarrassment.

Suddenly, she felt a soft hand tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around and faced the young man: It was Jackal.
"Hey, it's been a while." He smirked
"Yeah, it sure has been..." She remarked, "I couldn't recognize you with the suit on."
"Yeah, a lot of people are saying that." Jackal smiled as he extended his hand, "Would you like to dance with me?"

"It'd be an honor." Ally grinned as she held Jackal's hand as they moved towards the dance floor.

They began to dance slowly, tracing their steps while looking at each other. The music of the band and its soft sound made the other people disappear for Ally. Right now, she was a princess and he was her prince. She wished this would last forever, however selfish that made her, she wanted for the feeling in her heart to stay forever. When the song concluded, Jackal thanked Ally for dancing with him and replied, "That was magical."

Ally smiled, her heart burning like an eruption of magma. She wondered if someday, when they had served their time in the Hydra Army, they would be able to be together. Once Jackal had separated himself from her as he danced with other girls.
