Safe

Eto's ship came out of the warp some few miles away from the NIC headquarters.

[Low power]

[Ship's power 3%]

[Shield integrity 6%]

[Left thruster damaged]

[Ship Repair required]

The ship's A.I outputted some warnings to them.

Eto sighed in relief and looked at Sam, Karl and Jake. They nodded at him after he looked at them.

"Thanks guys."

Ego thanked all of them.

"Sure man, we saved our asses too."

Karl replied while sucking in a deep breath.

Jake removed his glasses and cleaned the lenses with a handkerchief and out them back on.

"Well that was close."

Sam lied down with his belly facing up and cleaned his sweaty face.

"Let's never do that again."

Ego turned to Miss Gamila.

"Thank you."

She nodded back at him without saying anything then she walked away from the pilots seat and went to Hiro's side and pecked him on his forehead.

"Are you okay."

"Yes mum, that was exciting in a scary I might not survive this kinda way."

She smiled when she heard this, if he's in the mood to joke, then he should be okay.

"Take us to the HQ Stan."

Eto told the ship's A.I.

[Negative]

[Damage to Ship's navigation system has destroyed control over 99% of the ship]

[Manual drive enabled]

Eto's face blanked when he heard this, He looked at Jake.

"Come on man, you drive."

Eto smiled at Jake and shrugged, he walked to the pilots seat and took the control bars, he started flying the damaged ship to the NIC HQ.

The ship stopped after moving a few kilometres.

[Ship's power at 0%]

Eto tried to hit the holo dash and his hand passed through it. He brought out his holo communicator and contacted the control room in the NIC headquarters.

He requested for a transport ship to come and pick them up.

[Acknowledged Transport ship enroute]

He closed the holo communicator and turned to face the people in the ship.

"So what's up."

He asked the people who all turned to face him when he turned to them.

....

[Anna Grey]

[Report to the docking bay]

Anna heard her name when she was playing with Ayanelle, she told her to wait for her, Ayanelle nodded and slept on the bed, she turned invisible so that anyone who happened to come into the room wouldn't see her.

Anna arrived at the docking bay after changing into her suit, it was an amethyst colored body suit with shoulder and knee pads protecting her with a nano diamond body armor, she walked to the docking bay and found Alex waiting for her with another boy who she was seeing for the first time, He had blonde hair and a chiseled face, he had a beard and a circle beard.

"Hi Alex."

"Hey Anna."

The boy looked at Anna when she walked up to Alex, He just couldn't tear his eyes away from her with her body suit that hugged and accentuated her fit shape, She looked very very beautiful.

"Hi am brady."

"Anna."

She replied and moved closer to Alex.

"You may not have heard of me but am a third year."

"What."

"I said am a third year."

"Oh okay."

Anna turned away and moved away from him.

Anna spoke to Alex while waiting, The boy just stood there after listening to her say okay, she didn't, seem interested in him at all, he didn't know what to say again or what to do. so he just brought out his holo tab and started playing a videogame.

A man in a military uniform walked up to the three of them and spoke gaining their attention.

"We just received a transmission from Eto Grey, they need a pickup."

They listened to him speak, he paused while scanning them with his eyes and continued.

"Go pick them up, coordinates have already been sent to your ship."

"Yes sir." They echoed.

They walked up to the Ship which was twice as big as the ship Eto took when they went to rescue Miss Gamila, They climbed into the ship and the ship's A.I moved the ship out of the docking bay and flew in the direction that Eto's ship was in.

They flew towards Eto's space ship that was floating in space. They contacted them.

"Get ready for pickup."

Eto heard a girl's voice over the holo comm on the ship.

"Anna.

"What's up."

"Am good, Glad to be alive."

"You sound shaken."

"We all are."

Karl shouted at the holo comm.

Anna smiled when she heard that.

They shot a tractor beam at Eto's ship and pulled it into the lower deck of their ship, They Eto, Jake, Sam, Karl, Gamila and Hiro came out of the ship which was now inside a bigger ship, They saw Alex standing at the railing some meters above where they stood.

When Alex saw Eto and the others including Miss Gamila, she ran down to her and bowed her head in greeting.

"Princess Gamila."

Alex said with a stutter in her tone, she stopped for a moment after speaking while Eto and the others stood there in shock and in silence looking at the exchange that was going on.

"Maybe you don't remember me, but my mother was a member of your guard, Her name is Gaza Tet."

Gamila looked at the young girl who bowed her head low, this was the formal greeting given to members of the royal family on her planet before she left.

"Gaza Tet, A great woman and a greater warrior."

Gamila looked at Alex while speaking, she paused after Alex looked at her.

"How is your mother."

"She is missing, Princess."

"Oh, Am sorry."

"No don't apologize princess, I joined the NIC to search for my mother and am positive that I'll find her."

"Alright then."

Alex raised her head from the bow and looked at the princess, the mask she wore seemed to have an extra shine on it which made it seem like she was smiling.

Karl cleared his throat and Alex snapped out of it. she looked at the Gamila apologetically and gestured to her to follow.

Gamila nodded and followed after Alex.

"Did you know."

Jake and Karl asked Eto at the same time.

"No."

"How about you Sam."

"No."

Sam and Eto gave curt responses to the questions they been bombarded with by Jake and Karl.

They walked and followed after Alex also. Alex led Gamila and Hiro to one of the rooms on the Ship. This was the best room in the ship and was supposed to be used by the captain, but Gamila was the one that was going to stay in the room instead. She walked in with Hiro and was about to close the door when Alex spoke to her again.

"If you need anything, princess Gamila, Am here to fulfill all your requests."

Gamila nodded her head.

"Thank you."

Alex nodded back and left.

She took Eto, Jake, Karl and Sam to the bridge of the ship where they saw a blonde guy and a blue haired girl standing, waiting for them to arrive, well at least the girl was standing the guy was lounging on one of the seats looking bored like he'd rather be anywhere else but here.

"Eto."

Anna ran forward and gave her brother a hug then she took his face in her hands and asked.

"Are you alright."

"Yes I would be if you'd stop squeezing my face Ann."

She hurriedly let go of his face, she looked at him and questioned.

"What happened."

"I'll tell you when we get back to base."

"Computer take us back to HQ."

A haughty voice rang out from the lounge positioned near the bridge.

[Affirmative, command confirmed.]

The ship's A.I replied.

[Engaging warp]

The ship moved fast and entered warp after turning on the shields which would protect the it from the particles in space that could destroy their ship if too many hit their ship while they were passing through the warp.

They went to the infirmary after that to get checked up for internal injuries or the sort. They were still fuming after listening to what the guy named Brad said to them in his haughty tone while they were still on the bridge.

[Subject name: Eto Grey, Injuries:Mild concussion]

Subject name:Jake Grant, Injuries: None]

[Subject name:Sam Tamado, injuries:None]

[Subject name:Karl Minus, injuries:None]

Anna was standing outside the infirmary room waiting for her little brother to come out.

Miss Gamila and Hiro had already been to the infirmary for checkup after coming aboard the ship. They were checked for any Alien viruses or any Parasite and they were clean.
