I awoke with a start, there was something in my mind, something big! It did not feel close like the giant Kysharisk had been, but somehow it seemed bigger! I opened my eyes and was staring at those wonderful glowing green eyes of the love of my life, it had awakened her too. We both felt the same eerie thing, wherever it was. As we tried to contemplate this new adversary, my other brain share came in my mind.

Shanaeh was frightened, it was obvious that she felt the presence too, but it terrified her, "Brother, this is bad news, very bad news! This thing will destroy you as you are now. You must not go after it's call, it is hideous, it is gigantic, it is enormously powerful. Possibly the most powerful being in the entire Galaxy!" even in our minds her voice was shaking!

"Shanaeh, what are you talking about, why are you so afraid?" I tried to calm her with my mental touch, it worked, some.

"I have seen this,... Thing, this monstrosity, this abomination of anything ever created! I have felt him in my mind and his breath on my body!"

"Sis, why have you never told me about this, why have I never seen it in your mind before?"

"I just now, remembered it myself." as she remembered my mind was flooded with images, horrible images, images that cause nightmares in the strongest of beings!

"What in hell is that?" Lererial was also trembling

"I was being held in the base you rescued me from, actually it was only about a forte before you arrived. And this very large ship came to the base, on it was this, thing. It is as large as a small spaceship, like Ghost, only bigger! It looked absolutely hideous, it appeared to be a cross of Ovarunt, Kysharisk and Tarsonian genetics. I found out from one of the guards that it was an experiment of these people, some kind of endgame monster in their bid to dominate the Galaxy. It's body is mostly Ovarunt, hard, thick plating with what looked like permanent shielding shimmering all along the surface. It walked on both two legs or four as it chose. The hind legs were massive Tarsonian legs the size of the massive redwood trees of Earth. The front legs / arms were very large Kysharisk limbs complete with six fingers, a thumb and very large claws. The head, oh the head, what a nightmarish thing! It was shaped much like a super large Tarsonian head complete with real, not ceremonial, horns. That is where the resemblance stopped, the remainder of the head was Kysharisk, but the most vicious Kysharisk I have ever seen. The eyes glowed with an eerie glow, the mouth was extra long with double rows of teeth to match the size of the head. And those fangs must be at least 10 to 15 meters long.

It's mind was powerful, it picked me out right away and came to me. I had been good at not giving up any family information up until now, no one had broken the stops that Dad had help me build in my mind. In less than 5 seconds it knew everything I had ever done or ever knew, it stripped away my stops as though they were a babies. He saw you, I think that was his entire purpose for coming there. He then knew our family history and... and... Oh God No!! He tried to use me to trap you!?.... Benjy, I'm so sorry I never knew till right now!" Shanaeh was openly sobbing, I could feel Kerry trying to comfort her in their room.

"Kerry bring her to our room, quickly please" I said very sternly

"I know you didn't Shanaeh, I'm the one who just took down the partition in your mind that the thing had placed there. I saw all that was done, all that was planned and some things that you still don't have access to!"

"You must show me everything, I have to see what I have really done!"

Kerry brought her to our room, Shanaeh was sobbing so hard her whole body was shaking. Lererial knew what I was about to do and was really scared, she entered my mind and buffered me as much as she could.
