**130. Fight in the Park.**

Mazoui walked slowly through the city park, trying to get his ideas in order. Maybe he wasn't good enough for Satory, and the worst thing was that a constant fear assaulted him. Could he always be in control? He didn't know if what happened to Sandy could be repeated. Satory was not like this, but she was a fragile and very impressionable girl, probably she would not bear it. He didn't want to terrorize her any day she couldn't master herself, no. That wouldn't be fair to her. He also remembered how distressing and painful it was for his own mother to tell him the truth. It was some years ago when that robber revealed his true origins to him. Fortunately, the intervention of his uncle Roy made him take a new perspective. However, that did not eliminate the bitterness he felt when he was able to chat alone with his mother. The two were in the hotel, having visited the family of Karaberasu sister. Mazoui, sitting on his bed, was abstracted in his thoughts. His mother sat next to him.

-Son. - She muttered looking at him with a dismayed expression but full of a great love at the same time. - I am very sorry, I never wanted you to know about this, let alone like this.

-You're not to blame, Mom. - He muttered, lowering his head, and looking at his intertwined hands. -

-No honey, I must be blamed partly - She sobbed trying to hold back her tears without succeeding. - You know? There is something that has always tormented me.

-I understand you have that feeling if that monster did something so terrible to you. - He responded to her. -  And that I would never have been born!

Hearing that, his mother burst into tears, embracing him with all the affection she was capable of, babbling full of regret.

-Not my child, don't think those things!

-But I know it must have been terrible for you. I see it in your eyes. - He said, to sob in turn. - I imagine that you wish you had been able to get rid of that burden. Right, Mom?

Her interlocutor was pale now, she was barely able to face her gaze to his, she covered her face with her hands and could only moan and cry while Mazoui, with tears too, guessed with terrible precision.

-You would try to abort me, what else could you have done?

And after a few moments of not being able to stop crying full of consternation, Kalie was nevertheless able to look at him at last and nod slowly, to mutter almost without being able to articulate a word.

-I can't lie to you, you see through me, honey... I beg you to try to understand. It was very traumatic for me, not only what that monster did to me, then, when I found out I was pregnant, I... I didn't know it was going to happen! Nor what kind of child could I conceive of such a being. But you should also know that I tell you the truth. From the very moment I held you in my arms I loved you more than anything in the world...

Now it was he who cried helplessly by hugging his mother who squeezed him in her arms as if afraid of losing him when she let him go. Through tears Mazoui was able to reply.

-I've always wanted you to be proud of me. And now, I want you to be with greater reason, I do not want to become a monster like the one who begot me. I will do anything to act well, to be the opposite of him... maybe then you can forgive me...

-My love, I have nothing to forgive you. Never think so! You are not guilty of anything.  And I'm already very proud of you! - Kalie groaned. - Together with your sister and your father, your real father, Mathew, the one who raised you, you are the best thing I have in my life!

The boy was able to squeeze out a faint smile to take his devastated mother's hands between his own and assure her with affectionate tone in his broken voice.

-I promise you, Mom. Wherever I go and whatever I do, I will dedicate myself to protecting and helping the innocent. I will make up for the sins of that monster that begot me... even if it takes my whole life.

-You are not responsible for them, honey. - She hurried to reply, with visible regret. - You have never been. You are just one more victim. But we must be strong, don't forget it.

But he continued, claiming with a mixture of resolve and sadness.

-And I will not make any woman miserable. I don't want anyone to be forced to have a child like me because of my biology...

Now his mother wiped away her tears and gaining strength she fought.

-Listen to my love, there is nothing wrong with your biology, evil can be the way you think and act. There are humans far worse than any demon I've ever seen; I can assure you. So, if one day you fall in love with a good girl, have the courage to make her part of who you are. If she really loves you, she will accept you, I'm sure.

The boy thoughtfully wished his mother was right. But that was easier said than achieved. That's why he was so hesitant. He didn't want Satory to suffer or look at him in terror when she knew what he was really like. Now, on his walk through that park, he was immersed in his thoughts when a voice called to his back. It was very late; the artificial night had fallen a while ago on the ship. Mazoui didn't see anyone and what's more, he didn't feel any presence. So, who was it? He wondered that when the voice he now identified as belonging to a woman, called him again.

-Who is it? -The boy inquired looking in all directions with visible bewilderment to demand. – Show yourself.

Soa had gone back down to the ship, saw one of those funny beings and decided to observe him more closely, she wanted to ask him a few things.

- Hey, you, creature... why are you here alone? – She inquired addressing that human who was walking around. – You are always together... have you get lost?

- What? - Mazoui responded loudly. He turned and saw a woman with oriental features, her skin was light brown and she had bright blue eyes. He inquired in turn with discomfort. -Who are you? Why are you spying on me?

-I asked before. - Soa said in a playful voice. - Tell me, - she insisted on standing next to the boy so quickly that he couldn't tell. -

-Sorry, - he said, amazed by the speed of that woman and responding calmer to see if he could get rid of her. - I like to walk only occasionally, so I concentrate on my thoughts. Now, you will tell me.

Soa laughed and danced around Mazoui, he did not know how to act. It could be the woman Leval saw in his home. Of course, she had an unprecedented speed, even for someone like him. Now he was convinced that his cousin had not imagined anything. So, it would be best to tread carefully, but at that instant he felt a familiar energy approaching, almost immediately he heard a familiar female voice calling to him.

- Oh no! it's Satory, what is she doing here? – He said with trepidation. -

The girl had left her home a few minutes after her partner had left her there. She noticed him absent and wanted to go in search of him to try to find out what was happening to him and try to clarify things between them once and for all. She suspected that a major concern was hanging over his head. Satory knew he liked to go for a walk in the woods and decided to go there. It was then that she heard a singing female voice and watched behind some bushes.  She saw her boyfriend, fluttering next to him was a woman. Satory came out of the bushes and walked over as she said.

-What's going on, Mazoui?...

-Get out of here, Satory. - He asked to her with concern. - You're not sure, I can't protect you.

-Is it because of her? - Satory asked recognizing that girl as the stranger in the store, perhaps she had seduced Mazoui, it would not be surprising, she was very attractive. - Is that why you were so distant with me? I understand, I won't bother you anymore. - She added between sorry and hurt, turning around to get away from there. -

- No, it's not what you think. - He hurriedly told her heading towards her. -

Soa listened to the conversation between those two beings. It was funny. She didn't understand what was going on, but she was very interested in listening to humans. She found them very funny when they put those expressions on their faces. Then Buruk appeared. He asked her something and he was annoying.

-Again, Soa? But why are you so insistent on contacting these beings?

-I want to see how they behave, it amuses me. - She replied, pointing to the two in question that she was observing. -

The boy approached Satory and hugged her to keep her away from those two strangers. His instinct told him that they could be very dangerous, even for him.

- I don't understand you. What are you doing? - The stunned girl could ask him. -

- Believe me. It's not what you believe. I can explain it, but not now, not here. We must leave, those individuals are not normal people. - He told the girl. – Satory was stunned, however, she had to agree with him when she remembered the incident of the store with that strange woman, while Mazoui added. – And as far as that girl, do not think about it. I assure you that I would never do that, for me it is only you. That's why I'm afraid...

And although she was surprised to hear the latter, the young woman was more relieved about Mazoui's fidelity, although she is now worried about the possible danger that these two individuals had, she asked her boyfriend.

-What do we do?

- The best will be...

But he couldn't finish the sentence as Soa approached both.

-Take off your clothes and make children. -She asked to them with interest. - That's what another human told us you were doing; I want to see how.

- What? – A visible red Satory exclaimed in shame and recognizing the great black man who had just appeared as he babbled. - But what are you saying? Are you crazy? How are we going to do that?

-Don't you know how to do it? - That girl asked her in turn in a voice of disappointment addressing her partner. - Hey Buruk, couldn't we cheer them up?

His companion nodded and without Mazoui being able to react he even snatched Satory and rose with her to a considerable height above him. The boy yelled at him between furious and alarmed.

-Leave her!  She can't be involved in something like this, she's weak, she wouldn't stand it.

- She is weak and so are you, it doesn´t matter? - Soa said without giving it any importance. - For us you are the same. Come Buruk, give her to him and let them make children. - She asked to his companion with visible impatience and interest. – But don't spoil she, huh? If you do, they won't be able to do it.

The great black man descended from the air, perching gently on the ground as he held between one of his colossal arms Satory who was paralyzed in equal parts by amazement and fear.

-Enough is enough! - Mazoui shouted quite irritated. - Are you idiots or what? That can't be done for good, and it takes a long time to get what you ask for. In addition, we must want to do so. Do you think we are your guinea pigs? - He reproached her by throwing himself at Soa and trying to grab her, but she pulled away so quickly that the boy hit a tree knocking him down. –

-How fun! – That woman so particular laughed avoiding each one of the attacks and attempts of Mazoui to catch her, while exclaiming with joy. - We play seek and hide!

Buruk watched the scene with more curiosity than he had shown so far and losing interest in his prey released her near the ground.  Satory landed smoothly staying on her knees while her captor, smiling amusedly, approached that other creature.

-Are you combative, eh? let's see if I can have some fun.

-If you want to fight, let's go somewhere else. - Mazoui replied, trying to get as far away from Satory as possible. –

-Ha, ha, ¡ha! - Buruk laughed, sentencing. But we'll see how you play against these.

He snapped his fingers and to Mazoui's amazement before him two beings of extraterrestrial appearance, with four arms and a large head, almost three times the normal in a human and with huge teeth, appeared. Buruk, with a gesture of rejoicing, explained.

- They are Ornomas fighters from the planet Gund, in addition to finishing off their opponent they like to devour him later....

-Damn it. - I notice that they are very strong, if I don't fight with all my power, they will beat me for sure, but Satory is in front. - Mazoui thought, although the quick attack of the monsters left him no alternative. – I can't do anything else...

Faced with the relentless attacks of both, the boy had no choice but to dispense with any kind of fear for his secret and had to resort to his demonic appearance to fight and thus release all his energy. A very close fight began under Buruk's watchful eye. Satory got up and was able to witness the fighting. She did not leave her amazement to see the terrible appearance that her boyfriend looked, but this, despite fighting with all his strength lost ground. He was cornered and the two aliens were licking each other thinking about their victory when a beam of energy threw one against a nearby grove, another ray wounded the second. The exhausted Mazoui looked up and could see two silhouettes, one shining with a great golden flash, they were Giaal and Leval. Both had felt the energy of their friend and those of their two monstrous opponents. They left without explanation to their respective partners and appeared in the park in a matter of seconds, just in time.

-Take a break, my friend. - Giaal offered. - We will take care of them.

-Thank you, guys. - Mazoui told them with his now guttural voice choked with gasps of tiredness to warn you. - Be careful, they are very strong.

-Don't worry. - Leval replied, watching his enemies focused on sentencing. - We've already noticed that. -

And without losing a second more both attacked the aliens that had recovered quite quickly. By engaging in a very tied struggle, they managed to make them lose ground. They were about to beat them when Buruk interrupted the match.

- This has been fun, it was about time something was, but I also want to participate in the fun. - He snapped his fingers again and those strange beings disappeared as if they had never been there, while the colossus affirmed with delight. - Now it's up to me to play for a while.

Leval and Giaal landed next to Mazoui. The alien gave him a bean and his friend took it regaining his strength. Standing up the three and emitting their powerful energies that created a groove in the ground, they faced that gigantic type.

- Good. I don't know who you are or what you intend. - Leval said in a defiant tone. - But let's see that you can do against all three at the same time.

For every answer Buruk smiled from ear to ear, disappeared from the sight of the boys and before anyone warned him, he had already beaten Giaal and Leval throwing them to the ground. Mazoui counterattacked by beating his enemy with all his strength but to his amazement, he pierced him as if he were a ghost.

-That's playing dirty! - he shouted at him as he recovered from the impression, to protest indignantly. - If I could give you a single blow you would see.

-Would it be more fun? - His intrigued adversary asked to him -

- I think so. - His opponent replied smiling sarcastically. -

That huge guy walked up to him walking slowly, even Mazoui was impressed by the tremendous height he had. He, who was one point ninety-four meters tall, barely reached his shoulder. For his part, offering him his chin, the muscular being reluctantly and even seemed to rejoice.

- Let's see if you have a little fun with me.

In that his companions had recovered and attacked as well. Mazoui took advantage and gave a hook to Buruk's chin with all his strength. That blow would have destroyed a block of houses, but his adversary did not move a millimeter. Leval and Giaal unleashed on him a rain of blows that did not make him flinch either. Soa, to all this, looked at the struggle with reprobation and Satory was with her mouth open.

- I don't know how you like something so little evolved, it's boring. - She commented by crossing her arms without showing too much interest. -

Buruk replied ignoring the rain of blows he was receiving, as if they were not to him, to the amazement of his opponents.

- Everyone has their tastes, I do not understand that you and Zoen see in these creatures, nor does Dialen understand it either. You are the rarest.

-Boys, - Leval warned his friends. - Get away! - they did it quickly, Mazoui took Satory in his arms away from there, before the girl could even realize it.

-Be careful, don't forget that we are on the ship. - Giaal reminded him. -

-He knows what he's doing. - Mazoui replied. -

That's the way it was. His friend while concentrating his energies as a super Saiyan making the ground tremble and then launched a powerful burst of energy that devastated half a park, although concentrating the energy to avoid further damage. During that time, the security operatives, and the people of the city, alerted by the struggle, had approached there. Although, they remained away from the conflict zone by a military cordon. Alarms sounded throughout the ship and military crews immediately departed for there. However, after observing the magnitude of the fighting and the forces of the contenders, they chose to remain retreating beyond the security zone.

-Attention, attention! Red alert in the alpha quadrant three, the civilian population must evacuate immediately, we repeat, immediately. - The public address notice sounded, while military patrols took positions on the perimeter of that area with all kinds of weapons, including armored vehicles. - Evacuate all non-essential personnel within a radius of two kilometers, this is not a drill ...

However, Leval's attack proved as futile as everything else. The super warrior did not come out of his amazement. That would have devastated an entire region of any planet! In fact, as his companions had anticipated, he had to be very careful concentrating his power to avoid blowing up the entire asteroid. But his enemy didn't even seem to have noticed it. It was then when Buruk reacted suddenly by grabbing him and Giaal by the neck and stamping them against a wall of a nearby building that collapsed on them leaving them out of combat. Mazoui, worried about his friends but furious at the same time, left the shocked Satory in a safe place and attacked the giant with his fangs and his intense red eyes, but that colossus limited himself to stop his blows and grab him by hugging him with a powerful prey.

-Bah! - That being despised looking at the demonic aspect of his adversary undeterred. - I also know how to do that, it fits me better than you, look.

And to prove it, he opened his big mouth unfolding huge teeth that seemed to be made of steel, he smiled animatedly making a gesture of nailing them to the neck of Mazoui who tried to get away in horror.

-Ha, ha, ha, ha, this is funny. - That colossus exclaimed as he released his prey by kicking him to the ground. This could hardly be sustained after such a blow and collapsed senselessly while its victor declared with carelessness. - Well, I think it is over.

The giant approached ready to finish it off when Satory knelt before Soa and pleaded with her in terror.

-Please don't let him do it, don't let him kill him!

- Kill? Buruk only plays. What does that matter? - Soa smiled. - There are many more humans. And what is killing? Is it fun?

- No, it's not. – Satory could oppose, trembling. She could hardly believe what she heard. – Where did those strange individuals come from? How could they ask that? - I beg you. -  Satory insisted, crying desperately as she retorted. - No... there is no more like him, he is unique. At least he is for me. Please, if you have feelings prevent me from doing so.

-Huh? -Soa looks at her without understanding to interrogate her. - Feelings... what are feelings?

Satory was mute terrified. What could she say? But seeing Mazoui badly injured she managed to react. And seeing that it was useless to appeal with her heart, she used her intelligence.

- If your partner kills him, he won't be able to have so much fun with anyone else. The other humans are much weaker. - Satory commented now pretending to have a more analytical tone. – He couldn't play the same.

In fact, the giant was attracted to those other beings who, climbing on bizarre machines, went to him. Soa also looked over there curiously.

-You, stop immediately. Surrender or we will open fire. – He was told by the voice of a commander who led the squadron that was most in the vanguard. -

Although the giant stopped paying attention to them and turned to return to the object of his entertainment. However, the soldiers pointed their weapons and their officer's voice was heard again.

-It is the last warning. Put down your attitude or we will be forced to shoot.

The colossus turned to the group again and somewhat intrigued asked them.

-Is shooting fun?

And without waiting for a replica, he exhibited his jaws accompanied by a scream that threw several soldiers several meters back...

-Fire! - The commander's voice thundered, causing as many tanks as machine guns to fire, concentrating their bursts on that guy... Fire at will!

However, when the smoke and flashes of detonations ceased Buruk was still there, watching them unperturbed. Frightened, Satory had just enough time to throw herself on the floor covering her ears before Soa's stunned gaze that she deduced enthusiastically at the end of all the discharges.

-Ah, it's a game... they make noises and put lights... but I liked more those of those creatures so cute that they got colored ...

Satory had time to recover just enough to continue with her previous argument.

-That, you have already seen that they are not as beautiful as the others. And if you finish with this creature, they will not be able to do more. - She said pointing to the lying and unconscious Mazoui.

- Wow, Buruk is not going to like that. - Soa reflexively stated that disappearing instantly reappeared standing between her partner and that little creature, jovially asking the colossus. - Hey, do you want to kill that human?

- Well. - The giant replied nonchalantly as he shrugged his shoulders. - It hadn't occurred to me, why? What is the point of killing? Is it interesting?

-He is very fragile. - Soa explained. - If you hit him more it seems that he will die or something, then you will not be able to play with that human anymore and that other human says that you will not be able to have fun that way with the others, who are even weaker.

- Weaker still? - That guy was surprised. – Yes, it's true. With their toys that make noises I have not had the same good time as with those silly creatures that shone. Then I leave him, because I was having a little bit of me. - Buruk declared without giving it more importance. - Let's go, for now I've had fun. We will have to wait for them to be well again.

-Could we put them well? - An enthusiastic Soa exclaimed. -

-No! - That doesn't seem interesting to me. Let's go. - His partner denied. - I hope there is something more fun out there.

Soa thought it was a good idea. Although she commented addressing the frightened and stunned Satory, winking at her.

-When your human is well, you must make some of those children. I want to know what they are. Ok?

And without giving the stunned girl time to reply, she and her partner disappeared instantly.

-But who are they? - The girl who did not come out of her stupefaction and fear, asked to herself -What are they?... is it terrible! We are totally helpless before them.

Although now there was no time to worry about it anymore. She was to help the boys. After the disappearance of these beings, a lot of curious people surrounded the park area. A few hundred meters away the troops advanced now safer as the echoes of the fray had died out. The commanding officer and his subordinates were stunned. They had emptied the weapons and bombed that guy or whatever and all that combined firepower didn't scratch him! Fortunately for them, and in view of how he had left his other opponents, that creature decided not to fight back.

-What do we do, sir? - An astonished lieutenant asked to his superior. -

-Just cordon off this area and call asking for new instructions. - It was the reply from his no less stunned boss. - And then, pray to thank God that we are still whole.

Meanwhile, Satory ran alongside her boyfriend and tried to help him get in. Returning to himself laboriously, he, with a weak and choppy voice, barely pointed to her.

- In my belt, look for a bean. - The young woman searched hard and fortunately found it, she gave it to Mazoui who chewed it barely managing to recover for the most part. Even so, he got up laboriously and looked looking for Leval and Giaal. – Wait for me, don't move. - He asked her and went out to find his friends towards the ruins of the building. - Come on guys, hold on! I'm here.- He shouted at them with trepidation.-

He began digging with his bare hands until he found both. He searched a bag Giaal was carrying and pulled out two beans. Breathing a sigh of relief because his friends were only unconscious, he revived them enough to put them in their mouths and chew. Luckily, after a while they had both recovered.

-What has happened? - Leval asked, still surprised. - I haven't even seen it coming.

Mazoui told them what had happened after they both lost consciousness, his friends listened to him barely without being able to give credit to what they heard.

-That guy is something of a different nature. - Giaal declared without leaving his amazement. - We cannot face him!

- The woman who attacked me was the same. - Leval recalled adding with stupor and indignant helplessness. - They have incredible strength and speed! Who the \*\*\*\* are those guys?

-I'm afraid that even the demons themselves would be helpless before them. - Mazoui said with some recovered irony. - If you don't believe it, look at me.

- Speaking of which. I guess you will believe me now, won't you? - His cousin asked him almost with an accusatory tone.

To which his interlocutor had no choice but to nod, admitting.

- Never in my life have I been given such a beating. Not even when we trained with your father. I just don't know where they may have come from, but I'm afraid they're really very dangerous. There is nothing we can do about them.

While he declared that, the boy watched as Satory looked at him handy, it was clear that she had seen him transform and now, after the danger, a curtain of sorrow invaded him. How would she react? Although for the moment the girl came running towards Mazoui and her friends, as well as some representatives of the city authorities and the army who, after the fight, had come there and first asked the military authority of the area.

-We unloaded several bursts of artillery and shots from tanks and machine guns of all calibers and that guy was as if we had brushed him with a feather. - it was what the astonished commander told them. -

-If you can't do anything, then I don't know what we can do. -One of the city's leaders, now turning to the boys, before everyone's worried eyes, said. -

-Yes, they must come and explain to us what has happened. -Another of those municipal councilors insisted. -

Reluctantly they accepted and were escorted to the town hall.

-Go home, please. - Mazoui asked Satory softly. -

She nodded slowly, so there they left the still shocked Satory and then went to the base of Mazoui and Leval to inform their superiors.  After finalizing the report, which reached the ears of the newly promoted Vice Admiral Spar himself, he decreed the state of alert, adding with horror.

-Order to apply martial law. Let no one leave or enter the ship. Twenty-four-hour patrols in all quadrants.

-That won't do us any good against that kind of beings. - Giaal sighed. -

-At least it will serve to make people see that we take measures, doctor. - Spar replied with a tone between serene and of a certain reproach, more when asking rhetorically. - What do you want me to say to the inhabitants of this ship? There is nothing we can do about those individuals whatever they are?

-Yes, Vice Admiral, I'm sorry. We must avoid panic among the population. - The boy nodded understanding that. - I don't even want to imagine what would happen if they decided to attack us.

-We better not think about it. -  Mazoui said shrewdly. -

-Well, for now I will keep all the forces of the ship in a state of orange alert. - Spar told them, ordering the two boys. - Remain alert.

-Yes, sir. Although, if I may, I think it will be better to avoid confrontation, if those beings reappear. It is not convenient for us to provoke them. -  Mazoui advised him. -

-Very good. Given what happened I could not agree more. -The vice admiral agreed, adding. - We will isolated the damaged area to begin repairs and I will make some fighters go outside, in case they were in a nearby ship. Perhaps they have teleported from there. They could be enemies like the ones we had to fight during the trip.

Those alluded to did not respond to that conjecture, however, they doubted very much that this was the case. Those guys didn't give the impression of needing any ship to travel. On the way back to their homes the three of them asked themselves many questions: Who were these strangers? What did they intend? Would there be anything they could do against them?

-In none of my travels through the Cosmos had I seen anything like them. - Giaal had to admit. -

-We are in trouble then. - Leval signed. -

-Perhaps, we should call your father and the others. - The alien proposed. -

-I don't think they could face them either. - Mazoui intervened. -

-But my father trained with nothing less than the mythical Son Goku. - Leval reminded him.- Perhaps he has met beings like these. I will try to contact him as soon as possible.

His companions nodded, Mazoui also added another terrible doubt to those. What was going to happen between him and Satory now that the girl knew his secret?

-Now I don't even know where to start. - The boy sighed with resigned trepidation. -

At last, the three of them separated on their way to their residences. For her part, Susan had been very intrigued. In the restaurant, his partner, having put himself on guard as if he had heard or felt something dangerous, told her that he should leave urgently.

- I'm sorry. I must leave. You stay if you want and finish dinner. - Those were his words. -

Susan was stunned. Evidently something was happening, Giaal would not have behaved that way if there was no serious cause. The girl sat for a few minutes quite bewildered but then imposed her military training, so, she paid the bill and left determined to find out what was happening.

- If it is a ploy to invite you, it has certainly gone well. – She smiled thinking about it with humor. –

Although along the way she could hear echoes of explosions and unmistakable noises of struggle. Despite wearing a low-lying red dress and high-heeled shoes, she decided to approach in case she could be useful. By the time she got dressed as an ordinary woman maybe she had to start fighting. But she had no need to do it, when she arrived everything was over, although large areas of the park were razed. What could have happened? As soon as she could, she wanted to get closer, but some soldiers prevented her from passing.

-I'm sorry, Miss. You cannot continue, this area is not safe.

He immediately took out her accreditation from her bag and the soldiers squared up.

-At your command, ensign. – He replied the one in command, who was a sergeant. –

-What has happened here? - She questioned him with an inquisitive gaze. –

-Apparently some strangers have penetrated our defenses and the elite forces of the ship have proceeded to expel them. Madam – He replied. –

Susan nodded, that terminology of elite forces was applied to Major O'Brian and Lieutenant Malden when they used their powers. By now almost every military man knew that both boys were something out of the ordinary. What Hunter didn't expect is for the sergeant to comment on her, now almost with a whisper and worried tone.

-I arrived shortly after the end of the fight, and our officers were in rather bad shape. They were barely standing. And from what they say, even our heavy weaponry was totally ineffective. Whoever their enemies were, they must have been very hard, my ensign.

That impressed her, she had seen with her own eyes what her superiors were capable of. They single-hand destroyed entire squadrons of enemy ships and their wet nurse in that epic battle they fought shortly before finding Bios. In case any alleged enemy was even more powerful, what could she and the others do? Better not to discuss that with her subordinates, she asked instead.

-Do you know where they are now?

-I think they went to report to the high command. Madam. – The sergeant replied. –

-Very well, thank you. – She answered by walking away from there, while the soldiers saluted her. -

The girl wasted no time and headed towards the headquarters. She hoped to solve her doubts there...

-I don't like this at all. - She thought on her way. - If it's another new offensive of the enemy and if its strength has increased so much, I don't know what we are going to do to repel it.

Hours before that happened, Amethyst had also been surprised when her husband got up from the sofa they were on. That placid night of romanticism after the candlelit dinner was abruptly interrupted when her husband, with a worried gesture, commented on her.

-I perceive Mazoui's energy, and it is very high. I have never noticed that he displays such an amount of power except when he fights.

-He may be training. – She ventured without taking it very seriously. –

-I don't think so. - He refuted to affirm. – It's too much power for a mere workout. And I detect two other forces as powerful as his that I don't recognize. They could be invaders and he could be in trouble. I must go and help him. – He sentenced while concentrating on the energy of his friend. –

-Please honey, have a lot...- Amethyst could not even conclude the sentence, her husband had already disappeared using his instant translation – beware ... – she ended with a soft voice and looking at the void that until just a moment ago Leval had occupied, with a very worried expression, muttering. – I understand better and better the fears of my parents. And what they so wished to avoid us. Every time something like this happens...

Sandy detected something too, getting out of bed immediately.

-They are very strong energies. -She said with stupor and restlessness. She felt that of Mazoui and others that were unknown to her. - This is not normal. Something is happening.

There was certainly something that was not right. She had been perceiving it since she returned from Bios, it was a strange feeling of discomfort for nothing. Apart from that strange sighting on the planet. Her sixth sense tried to warn her of something, but of what?

-Will those guys be again?  -She said to herself with increasing anxiety. -

But no. At least her sixth sense didn't seem to point her toward that. In fact, she had no idea, nor was she able to feel now more than the weakened auras of her friends. At least they seemed to be safe. Sandy sighed; she could do nothing for now. So, she tried to rest, she would contact them later.

-Hopefully they are fine. As soon as I will ask them...-She promised herself, trying to sleep again. -

On Earth things were not much better. Usagi had seen her friend's video. Setsuna was really disengaged by worry and fear. The image of the queen of the Saiyan even frightened the future queen of Neo Crystal Tokyo, especially when she begged her almost between sobs.

-My friend, please!... we need you. Maybe with the Silver Crystal you can do something... otherwise, I'm afraid we'll have to fight. And I couldn't stand it. Not against him! You understand me well, you went through the same thing once... I also beg you not to let Seren come. She is not dumb. She knows perfectly well that something was wrong the last time she was here. Don't let her go back, I implore you as a mother! She will be safer by your side... I hope I can count on you, as always... remember our covenant, Serenity... Usagi-chan. My friend...

The message ended like this, leaving the receiver silent and not knowing how to react for several minutes. She was almost in shock. What could she do?... She was not unaware that this matter was of the greatest gravity. However, she could not go to New Vegeta.

-How sorry I am, Setsuna... but I am not the one who will have to help you. That task must be carried out by another one that is to come.

The sound of her mobile phone pulled her out of those sad thoughts. She could barely hear her husband's voice.

-Moshi, Moshi?... Hello Mamo-chan... What? Are you already here?... Well, no... then I'll tell you. Give me just a few minutes and I will meet with you. Goodbye...

She hung up and let out a long sigh. That wasn´t precisely what she needed now! Her parents and brother had come with Mamoru, just as they had been left to do. And she, as usual, completely forgot about it, more with the very complicated situation she had.

-I need a little peace of mind. - She said moving her head and reviewing her face in front of a mirror. - Step by step... calm down Usagi, now you are not Serenity...

But she had tears after hearing and seeing her friend in that video message. She struggled to wash her face and put on makeup again to make herself presentable. After also reviewing her blazer, she decided that she was perfect.

-Well, and now let´s greet the family as if nothing happened ... and for them, it really is so!  It's the bad thing about living a double life. They don't know what my identity is. But it's getting harder and harder for me to have to divide myself in this way. -She reflected as she was about to leave her office to greet her own, but just then she received a call directly from the Moon through the emergency channel. - Oh, no!  What can be happening now? - She said with annoyance when she attended that communication.

Sometime before, on the Moon despite everything, things seemed calm. At least Nehie had been able to leave the Saiyan ambassador somewhat calmer. Now she was sitting on her bed, next to her big mirror and sighing in front of it.

-Garnet, honey... I wish you were here! There are times when all this surpasses me. However, you always found a way to make me smile.

She remembered with nostalgia and affection those few days when they both fell in love and toured that huge asteroid. The boy took her everywhere and after singing karaoke and walking through that beautiful park they went for a drink. The young man led her to a hot dog stand, as he called them.

-Give me two, please. - He asked the seller while asking the girl. - How do you want yours?

-Mine? I don't know, how can they be ordered? - The bewildered young woman inquired. -

-With ketchup, with onion, with mustard, with everything at once! - Garnet laughed adding. - That's my favorite combination.

-Well, let it be the same as yours. - She smiled. -

That's how they prepared it. Soon the two were eating that, although the sovereign was not quite good and, when squeezing the muffin, some sauce shot in her face.

-Ha, ha! - Garnet laughed, commenting jokingly. -  I spent this joke to my brother Cory. I put a lot of sauce so when he squeezed it, everything drained ...

-Oh, wow! - She lamented in a hurry. Don't look at me now. What a shame! I must be horrible...

Although Garnet immediately stopped laughing and approached her holding the girl's face with both hands to whisper affectionately.

-Horrible? you?... Those two words could never go together. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met, in every way.

Neherenia blushed now, and no longer precisely because of the ketchup stain. Very solicitously the young man took out a handkerchief and wiped her right cheek. Garnet did give his interlocutor time to speak so he added with a whisper.

-I think you still have something on your lips.

She wanted to run her tongue to clean that but instead received a kiss from him taking advantage of that circumstance. At first, she felt stunned, then hugged she him prolonging it. As they both separated, he smiled once again and whispered to her.

-My beautiful queen of the New Moon... with ketchup you still taste better...

And after looking back at her between stunned and bewildered, she laughed... Garnet accompanied her with his own laughter. They even had to sit on a nearby bench.

-This brings back good memories of the Golden. With Idina, Heather and the others... I'm really looking forward to seeing them again. But at the same time, I don't want to be separated from you...

-We will never separate. - Garnet said so he declared. - At least I have a very big hole here. - And he pointed to his chest to sentence. - Where I always take you anywhere. You can do the same. Although I bulge a little more.

The girl nodded hugging him while Garnet added funny.

-And when you come back there, please give some kisses to my little cousin Idina for me. Even if you don't overdo it either, don't go around thinking weird things. You know how shy she is.

Neherenia laughed once again. So, it was in the case of her dear friend.

-She warned me, you're a prankster. She told me that you had your cousin Amethyst desperate.

-Yes, thank goodness she didn't put her hand on me. - Garnet laughed, commenting with complicity. - Once, in the pool of Leval and Kerria's parents...

He told her something that made her laugh non-stop. Neherenia had to lean on a tree. Trying to imagine the scene.

-What did you do to her, what? -She tried to ask with laughter, tears flowing out.

-Well, I offered to put cream on her, but it was syrup. - The boy repeated, putting on an innocent face. - I already told her that it was a confusion, but of course, all the bugs were going for her so, she had to jump headlong into the pool. And then she wanted to throw me in. But taking the water out of the pool sooner! On another occasion, as we did with Cousin Ky's boyfriend. Poor Brian! He rejoiced excessively during a naval battle. really, that naval could be applied to the boy! He had a good time in the water, soaking, to lower his spirits! You already understand me.

Hearing that Neherenia could not stop laughing, even holding her abdomen. At last, she was able to control herself. She looked at her boyfriend full of love and closed her eyes feeling lucky to be so happy. Now, when she opened them, her own reflection in her great mirror was who looked back at her when she came out of that reverie.

-I still miss you, my love. - She muttered even with a slight smile after remembering that.- And I continue to carry you inside me... There will always be a place in my heart for you.

Although she did not have more time to devote it to nostalgia. The phone in their rooms rang. And it was the line of government affairs. That didn't usually mean anything good. She immediately remade herself in her tone and tone of voice when she connected the video screen.

-What's going on? -She wanted to know. -

One of her ministers appeared on the monitor, with a worried gesture she said.

-Your Majesty. We have received reports from the asteroid orbiting Bios. Apparently, they have suffered an attack from unknown enemies.

-What kind of attack? Have they suffered casualties? - The sovereign was immediately interested. -

-We do not have that kind of information yet. – That guy told her with an obviously restless gesture.

-Find out what you can and let me know as soon as there is any new news. - Nehie ordered him. -

-Yes, Your Majesty. - The minister agreed, dismissing the communication. -

The queen sighed by putting one hand to her forehead. She lay on her bed and tried to think. It seemed that everything was being thrown at them at the same time. First, the troubling news from New Vegeta, now this. It was doubtful that Endymion and Serenity could take care of so many things at once. So, she would try to help them. Maybe she had to postpone her return to the Golden. Despite how she missed Idina, Heather and the rest of her friends and companions there!

-I have no choice but to inform Serenity. Then let's see what I do. - She said with resignation. - Although before that, she thinks she will have a drink and some brunch, because she was already hungry. -

And indeed, the first thing was to call her personal maiden. She immediately appeared, after knocking on the door, Nehie authorized her to enter.

-Did you want to see me, Majesty? - A beautiful young woman with shoulder-deep blonde hair and blue eyes asked her. -

-Yes Anaris. Please, ask for lunch to be brought to my private rooms. I have many things to do. - The sovereign told her. -

-As you wish, your Majesty. - This one agreed, going out the chamber. -

And so, she did, after twenty minutes that girl reappeared with a silver tray where she carried a consommé, boiled fish, and some fruit. Seeing that, Neherenia frowned sighing.

-Fish again?  She asked her waitress with tired voice. -

-Yes, Your Majesty. The Knight De La Lune gave the menu of the week to the Royal cook this morning. - The hurried young woman told her. -

-Do you know? - The sovereign smiled commenting to the girl with a tone of complicity. - Today I do not feel like fish. I already ate it yesterday, and three days ago.

-And what do you want, Majesty? - the blonde maiden asked her. -

That made her smile, for a few moments she remembered that mischievous Garnet expression when the boy was plotting one of his own mischiefs and whispered in the ear of the perplexed waitress.

-Do you know that dome near the palace where meals are prepared in the terrestrial style?

-Yes, Your Majesty. - She dared to answer timidly the questioned girl. -

- Well. Come there and bring me a couple of hot dogs with some potatoes. - Nehie asked her. -

The perplexed maiden watched her with wide eyes, barely able to babble.

-But, Madam, the Knight of the Lune told me...

-Anaris. - She was jovially interrupted by Neherenia, to add. - I don't give a damn about what the Knight of the Lune told you. If he has any complaints, he is welcome to come and discuss them with me. What's more, I'll tell you what we're going to do. You call those in the stall of that dome and order them to bring us four hot dogs, a large portion of potatoes and two soft drinks, then you come to have lunch with me.

-Me? -The perplexed young woman exclaimed, pointing to herself in the chest. -

-Yes, you, hurry up. - Her sovereign smiled. - I begin to be very hungry.

-And what do I do with this? - The hurried girl asked her, looking at the tray she had deposited on a nearby wooden table. -

-Well, we share them as an appetizer. It would be to make a very big ugly to the Royal cook to have to return it. - The sovereign replied, with a mischievous expression. -

Her perplexed maid nodded out to fulfill the assignment. Neherenia smiled, at least for a few moments all that tension had been removed. Of course, she missed Garnet and her friends from the Golden very much. At least she will be able to see them again soon.

-Yes, Heather already says it. Before a difficult exam, eating something rich helps a lot. I suppose that can also be applied to high politics and other problems on a cosmic scale.

And after about twenty minutes or so, Anaris returned with that unusual request. Carrying a couple of packages in which she brought everything. After depositing them on a nearby desk, the girls divided the fish and the consommé.

-Thank you for inviting me, Madam. -The girl could say. -

-You're welcome. These are the best lunches, funnier than the working lunches with the Council of Ministers.

Her interlocutor nodded slightly, although as refreshing as that was, the problems were still there. So, while eating, Neherenia was trying to think of a course of action.

-Is there anything that worries you, majesty?

-There are a few things, Anaris. - Her interlocutor admitted, adding however jovially. - Therefore, it is better not to have an empty stomach.

-The truth, ma'am. In that dome they make delicious hot dogs and very tasty burgers.

-really? -The sovereign exclaimed, deciding immediately. - Well, tomorrow you will bring some for dinner.

-Don't you think the knight of the Lune will be angry? - The maiden inquired with prevention. -

-I don't think so. - Neherenia said nonchalantly, claiming to be funny. Anyway, we can always invite him. It would be interesting to see him eat a hamburger or a hot dog without staining himself with ketchup.

That made Anaris laugh singingly and Neherenia was infected as well. At least that moment relaxed her from her government concerns. Although after the dinner her maid said goodbye taking the tray and promising to throw away the wrappers with a lot of stealth, so that the ineffable Chamberlain Major would not discover them.

-This girl is so nice. I wish my biggest problem was De la Lune caught me eating hot dogs, or sneaky treats like when I was a child!

And leaving aside that playful moment she refocused on what she had in mind. The first thing was to contact Serenity. She had to wait for something to achieve it but, finally, after marking the key and using the emergency channel, she contacted her friend and mentor to inform her of what happened on the asteroid...
