Infinity (20 page)

   
Gynythian Zee received word of the Ikuptaxians’ failure from his top
officers. “What manner of spacecraft can defeat the undefeated? What manner of
being can destroy the indestructible? We must change plans. Earth and its solar
system is no longer our target. The Twelve Galaxies Cluster must be brought to
its knees or be destroyed.”

“You underestimated my step sons. I imagine they’re
now working together,” surmises Dvora.

   
Dvora knew her daughters were living somewhere within the Twelve
Galaxies Cluster now but she knew not where. She decided she could not let
Gynythian destroy her daughters along with the Twelve Galaxies Cluster.

   
Gynythian Zee had an even greater armada than the Ikuptaxians. At once
he contacted their leader Aza Caxatro, the ruler and second most powerful evil
warlock of their kingdom.

   
“You have failed, Aza Caxatro. I am forced to take things into my own
hands. You will send all of the rest of your warships to the Twelve Galaxies
Cluster. It is our last chance to destroy Daxu Korth and all that is his; his
sons and daughters, and all he holds dear; and then lastly him. I will enjoy
this immensely.”

   
Dvora cringed at the words when she overheard him mention “daughters”.
She would go with him and be by his side, but she would never have his babies.
She worked on his confidence and pride, knowing that he would never hurt her.
He valued her too much. She knew that, and so she had her little wedge stuck in
his heart. When the time was right, she would push it all the way in like the
long sharp dagger of Irra, forged in the Radioactive Mountains of Aullurror, on
The
Metallic Moon of Ragutis.

   
The Warlock R’Darik had
stopped in orbit around his home planet to gather reinforcements. It was there
he would keep Ibiza in his dungeon. Subjugator he would free from his spell. “I
could use his help now that he has the power of a wizard. This battle is going
to take a lot more than atomic torpedoes to win.”

   
Daxu Korth sent an encrypted
transmission to Cruise. This was a time of war and even closed circuit face-to-face
frequencies could be hacked. The message said to come back to Cassiopeia and
help defend it from Gynythian Zee.

   
The Ikuptaxians obeyed their
commander and sent every last warship they had, all one hundred thousand.
Gynythian Zee’s Armada commander Wawry Toz boasted of a hundred fleets of a
thousand warships each.

   
“With our superior numbers
alone we will command victory over all other opposing forces,” proclaimed
Gynythian Zee with gleeful confidence.

   
“Yes, my dear, your forces
are much too far superior,” says Dvora. “Daxu Korth will not let you destroy
his beloved kingdom. He will surrender to you.”

   
“Ah...you know him well. He
has a soft spot for his subjects. Well, we will capture him, and all of his
offspring, including your daughters too,” responded Gynythian Zee. “You will
have a first hand account of how we treat the enemies of our kingdom. You will
also be tested this way so I can see that you are truly loyal and devoted to me
now.”

   
“Oh?...How do you pan to
have me tested?” asks Dvora, biding her time.

   
“You will watch while your
daughters are tortured and ravished. They will be violated in ways you have
never imagined before your very eyes, and their blood will quench the thirst of
my beloved pets.” He claps his hands and a curtain opens revealing a large yard
just beyond his terrace.

   
There are large animals there.
“They look like the dogs of The Crystalline Desert of Muuhi II,” Dvora
shudders.

   
“Their eyes are white and
their teeth are sharp as razors,” explains Gynythian Zee. “Their fangs bite
deep and they slowly drink their victims to death by sipping their blood. They
only take enough to satisfy, and leave their prey until the next day. The
process takes two weeks and the pain is excruciating. But I will only give them
to the pets after they have been repeatedly violated by my insatiable guards.”

   
“You wouldn’t...” Dvora was
horrified and repulsed by such barbarism.

The ships
left Gynythian Zee’s complex and Dvora was forced to come being chained to a
stake in the middle of the control deck of Gynythian Zee’s ship, the leading
warship in his armada.

   
Travelling at Hyper Warp
speed, Gynythian Zee’s armada was able to pass through a wormhole their speed
would create, and pass from their galaxy across space to a galaxy cluster
nearby the Twelve Galaxies. This process took six of Earth’s months to pass
through the warp.

  
The Ikuptaxians also had devised
warp travel through their sorceries that took their one hundred
thousand-warship armada across space to the
Ambivium Galaxy to rendezvous with Gynythian Zee’s
million vessels.
  

   
The vessels of both armadas
stretched as far as the eye could see when they finally reached their
destination. They would travel together as one gigantic fleet taking their time
as they advanced towards the kingdom hoping to use this time to build fear into
The Twelve Galaxies and Daxu Korth. But Gynythian Zee did not know Daxu Korth
as well as he thought he did, and neither did Dvora.

   
Little did anyone know that
R’Darik was also on his way with his armada of warlocks and a total of seventy
thousand warships which he commanded. He left the wizard Ibiza in a magical
trance, which he fortified with shackles chained to his dungeon wall. Ibiza was
guarded by seven Lions of
Axan on planet Drudi, which was in the same solar system
as R’Darik’s home planet.

Infinity had teleported to
the Ikuptaxians’ h
ome planet. Their world was almost
the size of Jupiter in the Earth’s solar system. Their physiology had the make
up and stamina to withstand the heavy gravity. Their bones were very dense, and
their legs muscular and nimble. Having four lungs, they could handle the
physical exertion of the extra gravity easily. This would give them
extraordinary abilities on Earth and its sister planets. However, the
atmosphere would be too thin for their lungs, which were accustomed to a much
heavier and dense atmosphere.

   
Their plan over the eons was
to replace Earth’s solar system with their own, seeing as how they were located
in a galaxy that was still forming and was unstable. Their own solar system was
travelling at a tremendous speed towards its destruction by a black hole at its
center. They planned to transport their whole solar system to its new location
in the Milky Way Galaxy by the combined magical powers of their population’s
telekinetic energy and sorcery powers.

   
Infinity’s presence was
known even though it was still several planets away. Out of the thirteen
planets in the solar system of three purple suns Ikuptaxians inhabited five.
All of the habitable planets were in turmoil when the presence of the “aliens”
was announced. Defensive measures were taken and dialogue was impossible. This
unique race was an exclusive blood thirsty, venomous race that did not care to socialize.
They were only driven to exterminate any other race that they deemed inferior
to theirs.
 

   
All five planets
simultaneously used their death ray weapons to try and shoot Infinity out of
existence. Of course Infinity’s shields protected her from the blasts as she
came closer and closer to the five planets revolving around their suns in odd
sequence to each other. All of the planets were as large as Jupiter, Uranus and
Saturn in that order, and two had rings.

   
“Activate the cloak device,”
commanded Cruise. “We finish here and then we fly to Cassiopeia.”

   
“In the name of Daxu Korth
of the Kingdom of the Twelve Galaxies Cluster, I, Prince Cruise Daxu do hereby
charge the planets of the Ikuptaxians on multiple accounts of murder, attempted
genocide of the human race and other races. Your dreadful crimes of great
magnitude against other races intending to live peaceably must not go
unpunished.” The message to all five planets was broadcast on all channels and
frequencies on all five planets. Billions of Ikuptaxians were watching the face
of Cruise and listening to the simultaneous translation by the Universal
Translator.

   
The assault of the death
rays continued to no avail. Infinity was cloaked now and its location
untraceable. The Ikuptaxians had been left unprotected and vulnerable to
attack, which they never imagined would ever come. Infinity realized in her
data banks when she scanned and recorded every bit of data on all five planets
that these beings had no idea what their leaders were doing to them.

Men,
women and children, babies and pregnant mothers, billions of them totally
ignorant of what their leaders and armies had been doing for eons. Before final
judgment was pronounced and carried out, Infinity projected audial visuals of
the destruction of Earth many times over, the horrible deaths suffered, the
eons of ice ages caused by the Ikuptaxians, and each time Earthlings came back
stronger than before. For the first time they understood what their leaders had
done.

   
Infinity could feel their
remorse, their regret, their fear and panic as the crimes of their leaders from
eons ago until now were going to be taken out on them. One last chance they had
to save their race from being blown out of existence forever by Infinity’s newly
developed Neutron Smasher. The civilian leaders were attempting communication. Infinity
would translate using the Universal translator.

   
“I am Ogox, speaking for our
leader’s council. We implore you not to destroy our worlds. What we have seen
here, what you have shown us today, the visuals of what our destroyers have
done and have been doing for ages, and what they intend to do to your solar
system, is quite shocking to all the peoples of our worlds.

   
“We had no knowledge of
these atrocities. Our military leaders told us they were preparing a new galaxy
where we would be transported to before ours is pulled into the vortex
threatening our survival. There was no knowledge of these killings and the destruction
of another race in order for ours to survive.

   
“The perpetrators of these
massacres are gone, they said, to defend us from invaders. We assumed you were
the invaders they spoke about, and so we fired upon you. We apologize for that,
even though our inferior weapons did not even scratch your vessel.

   
There was a long pause, as
if waiting for a response from Cruise. “In that case,” replies Cruise, “The
Kingdom of the Twelve Galaxies Cluster will spare your planets only if you
renounce all aggressiveness and war, except for your own defense if attacked or
invaded.”

  
The leader spokesperson Ogox
replied with emotion. “We are grateful and regret that the aggressive faction
of our race has seen fit to commit genocide of other races so we could live. We
find this unacceptable and would rather die here where we were born than to
take away the homes of other races only in order to preserve ours.”

   
“You have no objections
then,” replies Cruise, “if we pursue and annihilate these Ikuptaxian
aggressors? It is only then will you be able to live in peace.”

   
“Your one vessel can stand
up against one hundred thousand of the Ikuptaxian aggressors’ warships?”

   
“Again I ask, do you have
any objections?” Cruise asks again.

   
“Of course we do not object.
We only cannot see how you could risk battling so many ships with just your
one,” replies Ogox.

   
“Infinity is a very special
spacecraft, in fact, more than very special. She is magical and divine.” he
replies.

   
“In that case, good luck in
your battle against the ones who almost brought destruction to us.” The leader
stops his communication.

   
“You are a wise leader, Cruise,”
says Infinity.

   
“Why, this is the first time
you’ve called me by my name,” He replies. “I kept having this sick feeling
inside about having to kill all of those defenseless people...the women and
children, babies and pregnant mothers, everything living on these planets.”
