A Bond

Darma sat daydreaming in his new room. He thought of his mother. For some reason, it felt like he wanted to go home and hug his mother. He imagined that her mother would find out that he was missing. Surely his mother will cry and will never stop until he comes home.

After calming down, his thoughts turned to other problems. Namely the wand that he first held. At first glance, whoever saw it, it was just an ordinary wooden wand. But when he asked Wardan when he escorted him to this room, Wardan said that if the Zalf people were to hold it, the wand would release its power. Even though it's not too strong, at least it can be used as a powerful weapon. Because the wood was as sturdy as iron, it was widely used by the Freedom Alliance members as self-defense. But it looks like Yora is only used as a display on her plane.

The more he thought, the more curious Darma was. He then got up and took the wand that he had previously asked Wardan to bring one wand to his room. He sat cross-legged and watched the wooden wand. It may have been a meter more in length. Light brown color. About four centimeters in diameter. At both ends very even. Very neatly cut. Darma then groped every inch of the wand as he watched it every inch. It's subtle and beautiful. In his heart he muttered whoever made this staff, it must be someone with a high spirit. Because it is evident from this masterpiece.

Honestly, as a normal man, he was still curious about the figure of a beautiful woman who pushed him when he first held the wand. Her beauty was truly something that she had never seen at all. Even when compared to the most beautiful woman in Lura village, it was very far away. In addition, Captain Erdo cannot say much about this.

Darma tries a cliché ritual. Namely holding the wand, then closing your eyes and trying to concentrate. Take a breath and try to keep his mind as calm as possible. The deeper he closed his eyes, the more he seemed to want to sleep. But then, he heard something. The voice of a woman is singing in a very beautiful voice. Then he opened his eyes and, surprisingly, he saw a man holding the hand of a woman with long glossy black hair whose skin was pure white. They sat in a tree that knows what tree. What is clear is the tree is glowing. The leaves are falling. After a while, the woman started singing. And Darma knew that the singing voice earlier was that woman's voice. But unfortunately, Darma could not see the faces of the man and woman. Everything is vague and unclear. However, somehow he felt that he had a strong bond with that man and woman.

Darma then realized. Sweat ran all over his body. And the position has not changed. Still sitting cross-legged holding that level. Shortness of breath. He looked at the clock, apparently it was morning. Suddenly Wardan opened the door. Darma looked at Wardan. And Wardan was amazed by Darma who sat cross-legged holding the Zalf national level with breathless. Wardan ran and grabbed Darma's shoulder to revive him. But Darma's mind is empty and eyes are open. Then, Darma lay unconscious.

Captain Zassac made it to Captain Bron's coordinate position. Captain Bron's ship resembles a pirate ship at sea. It has four columns with a very large screen depicting a skull wearing round black glasses. Just like Captain Zassac, the sails and masts were mere decorations. At first, Captain Bron's crew was about to fire on Captain Zassac's ship. But they are stopped by Captain Bron. His chubby body, chubby cheeks, thick beard, cracked white skin like dry earth, quirky clothes with gold robes, cigars that always slip on his lips and of course round black glasses, ordered his men not to attack.

Captain Zassac's ship, which he named Smuty, was approaching Captain Bron's ship. After Smuty approached and the hull stuck together, Captain Zassac asked Captain Bron to come to see him. Captain Bron grants Captain Zassac's request.

"Open the door to the Garmin hull," Captain Bron ordered in his deep voice.

The hull doors of the two ships are open and interconnected. So that Captain Zassac could enter and meet Captain Bron in the company of his concubine. When he arrived, Captain Bron treated him with a drink. They both engage in conversation.

"What did you come here for?" asked Captain Bron.

"I want to offer you a deal," said Captain Zassac seriously.

"And what is it?"

"I want us to join the Space Pirate Alliance together."

Captain Bron stopped just as he was about to drink.

"And what is the purpose?" he asked later.

"We have to be stronger than the five strongest alliances."

Instantly Captain Bron burst out laughing. The concubine who had been standing beside Captain Zassac considered Captain Bron's behavior an insult, she took out a knife like a crescent moon from her thigh. However he was stopped by Captain Zassac.

"Arna, stop it," said Captain Zassac, shaking his head and holding Arna's right hand that was ready to stab Captain Bron.

Arna then returned to insert the knife.

"The two of us are not enemies. However, we always try to be the strongest. Likewise with Captain Argon. I don't know where he is now," Captain Zassac explained as casually as possible.

Captain Bron paused from laughing.

"He is in the star region of Cakra. Maybe now he has a large fleet," he said later.

"We'll take him too."

Captain Bron was silent for a moment. Then he smiled.

"Your invitation is interesting. However, I don't want to share with you or Captain Argon. If we manage to hijack the big plane, it belongs to each of us."

"Of course," Captain Zassac nodded.

Captain Bron then put two large pistols on the table. Captain Zassac put down his double edged sword.

"I didn't accept your offer because I wanted to be the strongest," said Captain Bron. He then drank another drink.

"Then?" asked Captain Zassac.

"I want to take revenge on the Captain of the Blue Alliance's First Division. He has killed my men," replied Captain Bron with hatred.

"The reason I want to form this alliance is also the arena Captain Raden met me to join the Blue Alliance."

"Don't mention his name again!" snapped Captain Bron.

"Very well," Captain Zassac raised his hands.

Captain Bron stopped drinking. He then lit the cigar and began to smoke slowly then took it out again. Smoke rose. Even Arna made a little cough.

"When I heard his name, my desire to cut off his head grew bigger."

"Looks like the name of the Captain of the Blue Alliance's First Division is prohibited from being mentioned in Garmin."

"That name is forbidden to mention on this ship."

After that they took their weapons.

"You meet Captain Argon. If he's willing to join, we'll meet at the meeting point. "

"Where is it?"

"On a planet that I managed to conquer in the Star Surja region. There we plan the assault and assassination of the Blue Alliance Division One Captain. For his position I will inform you after you succeed in meeting Captain Argon."

"Good."

Captain Zassac and Arna returned to Smuty. Just one more step then the Space Pirate Alliance will be formed. And when they manage to kill Captain Raden, they will have succeeded in bringing the Blue Alliance upside down. Thus, they would not be underestimated by any of the strongest alliances.

Darma realized. When his eyes opened, he was in a cold room. He then got up. Ramna who is waiting for him comes closer and asks what happened. Darma tells what he saw last night. After hearing Darma's story, Ramna reported it to Captain Erdo. The captain was silent and warned Darma not to hold the wand anymore. Because the Captain doesn't even know what happened.

"It is better to immediately take you to see Queen Ermana," said Ramna.

"I don't think I know who I am even more," Darma tried to wake up.

"Don't get up yet. Rest again." Ramna laid down Darma again.

"Where's Yora?" asked Darma then.

"He's outside. Usually he goes around town. "

"Can we make a call to Queen Ermana?"

"Impossible. He's not just anyone. Moreover, your case is serious. So this information shouldn't be leaked. The only one who knows is Division Twenty. "

"Then, how do we meet the Queen?"

"Captain Erdo is going to meet the Captain of the First Division. He will speak privately."

"Captain of the First Division?"

"His name is Captain Ozaf. I've met him. He has a great sense of humor. I think he would be suitable as a comedian."

"Which planet is he from?"

"She is a Zalf nation just like the Queen."

"How do they look?"

"Just like Earth creatures. It's just that, his skin is white and very clean. In the Freedom Alliance, too, many are from Earth. When I asked what they thought about the inhabitants of the planet Manda, they answered perfectly."

"Could it be that the beautiful woman who pushed me and the woman who sang in my hallucinations was a Zalf nation?"

"Can be. Maybe you have ties to the Zalf people."

"I must immediately meet the Queen."

Captain Marlon arrives at the Red Alliance headquarters. A large planet whose entire land is filled with magnificent buildings dominated by red. All inhabitants of this planet are members of the Red Alliance. It is still in the star region of Qufta. After the aircraft carrier landed, Captain Marlon met the Commander of the Red Alliance in a large luxurious room with a large rectangular table.

He was scolded a little. Captain Marlon apologizes. Then the big door opened and appeared the figure of a tall, muscular man, pure white skin, neat hair with bangs covering his slightly slanted left eye, tight black shirt and pants, black shoes, tattered red robe, his hand holding a sword with a colored handle, black with a red sheath and a white scarf that covers her mouth.

He approached and stood next to the Commander in Chief.

"I want to report, Commander Zarman," he said in a soft voice but when he heard it, anyone would know that this man was very strong.

"Go ahead," replied Commander Zarman.

"I, Adam Baskara of the Captain of the Red Alliance's First Division, would like to report that we have succeeded in subduing a small alliance of three planets."

"Very nice. I will report it to the Commissioners of the Red Alliance."

"For the data from them, the next one will be given by my adjutant later."

Then, Captain Adam withdrew and walked out of the room.

"As usual. He's very formal," grumbled Captain Marlon.

"Do not be like that. If he hears, he can slash his sword and make this base shatter in an instant."

Captain Marlon is silent.

"I always pay attention to you. If you do something strange again, I will not hesitate to punish you. "

"Yes, Commander."
