CHAPTER V: Slave hunting

The banging on the trapdoor continues and its annoying the crew, after some seconds the banging stops. "Nate, its me Gabe" said the-turned out to be a-person who was banging the door. They all look at Nate surprised by the situation that the person knows Nate. "That could be anything or anyone, do not fall into that trap" Craig warned him. "Gabe is my younger brother, I've got to see if its him" said Nate. "What do you mean you want to see him that would be absolutely stupid! He's dead remember?!" claimed Craig "I told you I wasn't sure if he was dead or not, and I have a feeling that's him" "don't do anything stupid Nate, this could rat us out!" the banging follows after Craig says this. ''If he entering, I'ma shoot that motherfucker'' Craig said shakingly. ''I'm checking him out'' Nate added while getting out of his hiding spot. He walks slowly to the trapdoor and starts climbing the ladder. ''Nate, he will shoot you in the head!'' said Yoshida and Nate raised his hand to silence him. He continues to climb and finally reaches the trapdoor and he slightly opens and then he fully opens it and points his gun towards the person ''Gabe?'' said Nate, ''help me I've been stabbed!'' claimed a wounded Gabe. ''Okay, come down here we will treat you'' said Nate trying to grab him and bring him down when he reaches in, he immediately sits and starts making small noises in pain. ''Fuck aaaa, I really need help, fast!'' he pleaded. The rest started to get out of their hiding spots after seeing that it was safe. Yoshida, was a paramedic and he grabbed the first-aid kit and started doing his thing. ''Craig, you a stupid idiot you know that'' said Nate ''do I have to apologize that I thought your sorry ass was turning to a stupid ass'' answered Craig furiously, ''can't you guys just shut up for like one minute'' shouted Yoshida and everyone fell silent.

Back to the rulers who are getting prepared to fly to their axes where their king had put them. Hemsin and Cephas were still nagging at each other. The king and queen on the other hand were speaking on how slaves are going to be hunted down. ''There must be thousands of survivors hiding out here'' said the queen to the king, ''well they must be enough to enable availability of a high number of them, we should really enforce the search. Any little mouse hole, there could be a human in there'' said the king ''that is a great idea. You know, you have the mentality to rule millions of organism and it is also backed by the ability'' they both laugh after the queen says this. ''Tell them how this is going to go on'' added the queen, ''what should we call it, I've got an idea, the Slave Hunt... haha!'' the king says this emphasizing and raising his hand and also the queen also nodding in agreement. ''Well Cephas, I hope you will enjoy that desert of yours, I really think you should be grateful because although its the dark continent, it is also the golden continent'' said the king to Cephas. ''What should I say my king, you really gave me what I deserve, Gold" answered Cephas while they were walking to the drone parking, ''but, Cephas, I absolutely do not want any kind of war between your territories, the only war we are going to fight, is the one if humans try to attack us, understood?'' clarified the king. ''Yes sir'' he answered gently. ''Good'' said the king as Cephas was going into his drone. After some seconds, it started and flew away to Africa.

Back to the bunker, Gabe was treated and was feeling somehow better, they also give him a can of food and water. ''Gabe, how do you know we were hiding here?'' asked Nate, ''because I was also hiding in a nearby bunker'' he answered ''then how did you get stabbed by an alien?'' asked Daniel ''I did not get stabbed by an alien, it was a person, see I had a disagreement with the guys there and I fought with one of them, he ended up stabbing me and they threw me out, they tried to kill me with a grenade but they missed, ha, and then I knew where to go. Now here I am'' Gabe said and he breathed out ''I really thought you were dead'' said Nate ''oh that, I didn't die in that ambush, I managed to survive, I knew I will never die from that day I survived that attack'' said Gabe. ''So... any news on the aliens?'' asked Yoshida. ''No, we are just going to sit back and watch shit happen'' said Craig, ''how are we even going to watch stuff happen when we are under the ground'' said Daniel. ''We should have thought of something'' said Nate, ''Craig is right, we just have to sit back and wait for anything to happen'' said Yoshida. ''Wait, Gabe are you the one that banged the door open?'' aske Nate ''yeah that was me'' he answered ''did you leave it open?'' Nate asked again ''I left two blocks holding it closed, don't worry, nothing will notice'' ''I hope so'' said Daniel. ''I wonder what they will do to us if they find us'' said Craig after some seconds of silence ''obviously kill us'' said Gabe looking at Craig ''nah, worse, they will torture us'' Craig said again. ''I can't think of anything much worse than torture that they can do to us'' said Daniel ''well I can, they can even eat us alive'' said Craig ''or burn us to death'' Gabe added ''or decapitate us and hang our heads in the king's castle'' Yoshida also added ''okay guys enough with the fantasies, we got to plan our line of defense'' said Nate, ''we already have one, we hear anything weird, we grab our riffles and prepare to shot the life out of it'' said Yoshida in a motivative voice. ''Let us just wait for our fate then'' said Daniel.

We again travel through space to Utopia, the new human planet specifically into Melanie's home, the-not mobile- phone rings, which is unusual and it means that one branch of the elites was contacting her, this was the community phone. It was used by elites of a certain community to reach out to any one. This meant that they either had a task for them or had some news for you. Melanie then picked up the call ''yes this is Melanie'', ''Melanie, you are needed at the Elite office in approximately thirty minutes. Do not be late even a second'' said the voice on the phone ''okay I will be there in an instant'' answered Melanie and the phone was hung up. ''Was that the Elites?'' asked the daughter who was at the door of the living room. ''Yes sweetie it was them, now I got to go, they need me at the office in thirty minutes'' she says this as she grabs her coat and starts walking out''. ''I really hope it is about dad'' said the daughter ''I hope so too sweetie, now stay safe and do not be disturb your sick brother okay?'' said the mom, ''okay'' answered the daughter as the mom started her car and left speedily. She continued driving and after like twenty five minutes, she finally arrived at the office. She got out of the car quick and she walked in the building, she went straight to the receptionist office and they led her to the main Elite office. She knocks and they allow her to get in, when she does, she finds five of the Elites waiting for her and looking serious. ''Take a sit'' one of them says pointing to the sofa-like chair and she does. ''You are Daniel Watson's wife is that correct?'' one of them asks, ''Yes, what happened? is he here?'' she asks, ''well, he is obviously not here but you do know that he was a very important element to the NASA board of directors don't you?'', ''yes, yes I do'' answered Melanie ''We need some information that will help in saving him, do you agree to give us the information that we need?'' asked one of them again. ''What kind of information do you need?'' asked Melanie, ''where exactly did you last see your husband?'' one of them asked, ''at the evacuation port in Australia after we lost the war'' said Melanie. ''He was in the army right?'' one of them asked, ''yes'' answered Melanie. ''So can we say he is hiding somewhere in Australia?'' ''yes but I do not know where he is hiding exactly'' said Melanie. ''Well miss, I can assure you and give you hope that if we get to Earth, he will be the saving priority, he can help us somethings that we cannot do ourselves without him. So ma'am, you can head home and do not worry, we will save him and he is still alive, we know that'' said the one that looked like he was the head of the Elites, ''thank you, this means so much to me, please bring him alive'' said Melanie thankfully as she walked out.

She walked out of the building with a smile of hope and she entered her car and started it she then rode to her home ready to tell her kids about the message that the Elites had given her. She could not believe the Elites were on the case of saving her husband, that fact made her even more hopeful that he was going to be saved in a short time, this means like in three months. She parked in the car space of her house and the kids walked out of the house and they could see that their mother was thrilled by whatever the Elites had done or had told to her. They looked at each other and both asked at the same time, ''what happened?'', she looked at them and smiled, ''let us go inside I will tell you there. They all went inside and sat in the living room, their mom looked at both of them with a smile as they had a very curious face, she started, ''so, I went there and reached there in twenty five minutes, I entered the building, went into their office and found five waiting for me. They had very serious faces and I sat down there and started to ask me questions...'', ''what questions?'' Hudson interrupted his mother, ''questions like, when was the last time I saw your father, I said it was the time when we were getting evacuated. And turns out, your father is was a really important element in the NASA board of directors, so they really needed him. They also asked me if he was in the army during the war, I said yes. They told me he was going to be their priority saving, and that I should have lots of hope they are going to do whatever they can to save him. That is why am so happy, your father is coming home!'' Melanie said with a smile, ''I knew dad was an important human being, but when do they plan to bring him back?'' asked the daughter, ''they said he is the main priority, I can approximate at about three months'' answered Melanie. ''Isn't that a little bit too long?'' Hudson asked, ''look honey, you know it is not possible to even get into the earth's atmosphere without alien satellites noticing. And the Elites have shown me that they are very serious about getting your father out of there alive though it will be very difficult. Let us have hope kids. Let us hope that our prayers are in God's hands and positive consideration'' Melanie said this looking at her kids with a look of hope. They all nodded and hoped this operation would be a success.

Cephas' drone is flying at high speed from the NWO(New World Organization) headquarters to Africa with his other commander, Nova. ''Our castle should be ready now, and our queens are already there. We are going to have a blast at our palace'' said Cephas, ''the only problem is going to be locating human survivors and rebuilding that place'' said Nova, ''ha, we are actually building that place, the place was trash before we even got here!'' claimed Cephas. ''I would rather be in golden trash than in cities that have nothing'' said Nova, ''good point Nova, me too. Oh, we are in the axis and we are about to land '' said Cephas. After some seconds, the drone lands in what used to be known as Rwanda. ''We just landed exactly in the heart of Africa, this will help our administration be centralized and well organized. And it will be easy to link the chiefs we will put in charge to conduct these areas. But first thing we are going to do is slave hunting, that is our main priority, others will come after'' said Cephas and the drone opened and the got out. Another drone was also flying from the NWO headquarters and was containing both the commanders of the North-American axis which were commander Tlurk and commander Nevaya. ''Well my fellow commander, it will be nice knowing you in our forever reign don't you think'' said Tlurk, ''Yes, absolutely, we are going to have a great time, and we should make sure our axis will be the most developed and the most influential in all of them. This means we have to fasten the rebuild and the slave hunt, and I know we are the ones who have the most beautiful queens. We already have a head start Tlurk and that is very great!'' exclaimed Nevaya. After some minutes of talking, they finally land in the axis and in the center of what used to be known as the United States of America. ''We are here, very fancy huh? This castle looks fancier than my home back at Utapo ha!'' said Nevaya, ''it is a castle for fuck's sake Nevaya, it should look fancier!'' said Tlurk. ''Whatever Tlurk!'' Nevaya says this as he starts walking to the castle.

The European axis is not far from the NWO headquarters, so this made it easier for both commander Hemsin and commander Brakul to reach their axis. Their drone had flew after the king and Hemsin having a brief talk with the king warning him to prevent any sort of disagreement with him and Cephas that may lead to a war breakout. Hemsin had accepted it and was leaving with Brakul to their axis. ''The king looked very serious commander Hemsin'' said Brakul. ''Well he thinks the little talk with me and Cephas will create a really big argument and lead to a war, which does not make any sense because Cephas and I are really good friends!'' said Hemsin angrily. ''You can get all that anger into killing any human you find in the axis, that will help you release it'' said commander Brakul. ''We have to make them slaves remember? We cannot just start killing them!'' said Hemsin. ''Then you can participate in the large scale slave hunt. It will pleasure you hunting down these animals'' said commander Brakul, ''you are right, I will participate in the slave hunt, that is a good option of anger relief!'' exclaimed Hemsin. The drone reaches the axis and lands in what used to be known as Germany. It is also somewhere in the center of Europe. They get out and start going to the castle. Another drone that had flew off was the one departing from the headquarters to the South-American axis. Both commander Alanis and commander Zemlaya are on the drone. ''South America was known for having any black people as a result of long ago slavery, and also known for its contribution to the sport of football'' said commander Zemlaya. ''How do you even know that?'' asked Alanis, ''I told before we got on this drone, I read documents of this race during the war, I got to know them better'' said Zemlaya, ''well, since you got to know these humans better, do you think if we could have negotiated with them it would work?'' asked Alanis, ''absolutely not, they can't have peace with themselves either. There isn't a decade that passed in human history without any sort of conflict, it would be impossible for us to bargain living here. And we can't negotiate with the race that will destroy us in the future! That would be a loser move. They must pay for our sufferings!'' claimed Zemlaya. ''You are very right my fellow commander, that is why we are enslaving all the survivors'' said Alanis as they reached their axis and landed in what was known as Argentina, which is also somehow in the center of south America and a good area for administration.

Another drone that flew from the headquarters was the one going to the Caribbean axis which contained commander Kruul and commander Kingston. ''You know, we are the ones going to the most boring place on earth right?'' said Kruul, ''no, actually, its the most interesting, we can see more of what is called the Bermuda triangle. The Caribbean is really interesting, don't worry, and I know that we will have many slaves because there are may survived humans, we have to put our heads straight and rebuild our axis. We must have a goal to be dominant'' said Kingston. The drone finally reached the axis and landed in what was known as El-Salvador. The commanders walked out of the drone and headed to their castle. Another drone that was on its way to its axis was the one which was going to Asia and contained both commander Kraken and commander Lynx. ''We must be dominant'' said Lynx, ''that will take a lot of work but I assure you, it must work'' said Kraken, ''I find that intriguing'' said Lynx as the drone landed in what was known as China and the drone landed in its center, the commanders got out and headed to their castle.

Meanwhile, the commanders of the Australian axis had already arrived and were settling in Sydney but not in the town where Daniel was hiding. But to their horror, the slave hunt had started from their town but they didn't know what was going on. The crew was hearing sounds of the alien soldiers. After some seconds, the metal door was BANGED open and they knew it wasn't a someone, it was a something.
