The solider ushered Rota from the building straight into the waiting truck. When Mia and Jay got in Rota had collapsed into the soldiers’ arms. Mia let her be. When they got back to the Military Base Jay asked the solider to take Rota back to the ship and ask for Shimel and Lacy, he left straight away, carefully supporting Rota. Jay took a moment to thank the unit and commander. There was a bit of laughter and everyone congratulated Mia her shot. “Just remember, Mia and me and Princess Rota weren’t there for now. I don’t care who takes credit for the shot but we weren’t there.” Jay said sternly. They all agreed.
As they headed back to the ship, they crossed paths with the solider who had taken Rota back.
“Is she ok?” Mia asked
“I think so, he said”
“Thank you for comforting her like that”
“That’s ok, it was the least I could do, after all it was her father.” H
Day 14The four Governors and Jay’s superior were welcomed onto “Mistress” and into the dining room. They were all served with a hot drink and a small array of food lined the table. Once everyone had been settled Rota started the meeting.“Thank you for meeting us here today, I am aware it is not where we normally meet and I am grateful that you could come to us. Thank you for the parts you played in organising my father’s funeral. It was truly beautiful.“You were there?” asked one of the Governors puzzled “I thought the Veiled princess was a decoy”“She was but I was also there”“How?” he said sceptically.“Never underestimate Captain Jays ability’s” was Rota only comment.“Who was the Solider who shot the guy in the middle of the service, how unthoughtful” asked another GovernorRota was
“Everything looks in order, he passed the documents on. I formally Move that Mia be recognised as a Princess of Ziion”The rest of the governors then inspected all the documentation and one by one confirmed the motion.The Governor who put the motion forth spoke up “Congratulations, Princess Mia we confirm your status as Princess Rota’s twin sister and the daughter of the recently passed King Levis.” He bowed his head in respect. He then took a deep breath and continued“Now we come to the matter of who will take the crown, and become the Queen of Ziion. Obviously Princess Mia being married to Captain Jay doesn’t discredit her from the crown because of his Pure Ziion Blood. Also Princess Mia being the oldest are we to assume you will take the position? Can you satisfy the Oath to the Ziion people?”“She can” said Rota “Princess Mia cares deeply for everyone in her sphere. She will always ca
The rest of them moved to the cockpit.“Captain Jay?” his superior asked “you do have a plan, don’t you?”Yes we are planning a d-day to flush out the enemy and take them out once and for all. I believe the palace guard is compromised so I will leak a location to you and then we will wait for them to show to eliminate both the princesses.”“Well you seem to know what you’re doing, how did you get Rota to the funeral?” The superior asked curious.“What you didn’t see us there,”“No, Should I have”“Well we were up the front, We even stopped the service so Mia could shoot a would be assassin”The Superior’s face was shocked “That was you?” He laughed “Princess Mia shot him,” He shook his head in amazement. “that’s the first thing that makes sense all day, you found a woman that could shoot and you mar
“Benny can you run a bug sweep, I want to know if our visitors were clean” Jay asked“on it” said benny and he pulled his comm from the pocked and started in the cockpit, it was clean. He headed to the dining room.Jay walked over to Mia and gave her a huge hug, “Looks like I might survive being with you after all”“You can thank me tonight,” she said back in a whisper.“I Promise to be impressive” Jay whispered, Mia flushed“Hey you too, your in a room full of people, keep it PG” Bunny exclaimedBut Jay took no noticed and kissed Mia anyway.Benny came back in “Hey Jay, we got a bug in the dining room”“Great, was it my superior or the Governors?” Jay asked“It was under the table, where one of the Governors were sitting. I’m leaning to the Governors but your superior would know to plant a bug away f
20mins later there was Jay, Mia, Rota, Ryder, Bunny and Kat in the Dining room with a plate of food.Kat started the conversation “So Captain Jay, what will we do this afternoon?”“We need to head off from here, we don’t want to overstay our welcome. I have a maintenance shed at Port Moss. We can land there for a day or two”“Captain Jay I have been meaning to ask, the ship needs a system update that will take 8 hours. Most of the system will be down during that time only auxiliary power will be available. Can we do that overnight, I want to get it completed before another threat comes our way.”“Yeah that should be fine, I purchased the shed through an alias, no one will know I own it or will be able to track us to it.”“Well, if the ship is out of action all night, we might as well hit the town” Bunny said excitedly “oh it has been a while, “Captain Jay can we?” s
Once they were all aboard, “Mistress” departed. It took them 20 minutes to get to Port Moss.Jay had asked Alex if he could get Jackson in a position to accept the mission and a team under him with some resources. Alex didn’t think it would be too hard but might take a day or so. The team also put up all their information onto Jacksons separate Network. By the time they were landing, Jackson had started asking questions. The team also noted that some of the gps trackers weren’t being moved to “clients” but were being kept in the four biggest “houses” “Do you think that’s because they are coming after us instead” Mia asked“Maybe” Jay said with a tense expression “If we assume each girl has a guard and girls are being kept in so their guards can come after us. How many guards should we expect?”“There are about twenty eight girls being kept in, but I assu
Jay had just arrived back in the kitchen, when the video feeds showed two black cars driving towards the port. They stopped, just out of sight of the security building and eight men got out and headed on foot towards the building. When they got in position in front or it they opened fire on the building, destroying everything.“I’m glad the Port Security took my advice and went home early” Jay said.The cars drove forward and the men got back in, then they accelerated and at high speed through the boom gates snapping it in half and bending the metal support where it pivoted, it made a screeching sound as it scraped down the side of the first car. Both cars were about 50m in when they both hit one of Tilly’s explosives. The cars were tossed into the air and landed six meters away one on its side the other on it roof.“Two down,” said BennyAnother five cars were then seen coming up the main road. “That’s at l
They got out in an orderly fashion, and started checking all the cars as they headed towards the ship. They stopped to check the men for signs or life, they kicked a weapon away and handcuffed one man.When they got to the bigger car, they opened its back doors with their guns raised and pulled two men out and cuffed them on the ground. The driver was pulled out too.They left them and went on to the other vehicle left.There was a loud crack sound “That ought to teach them for touching “Mistress,” said Ryder“approaching “Mistress” can you make her friendly,” said KatRyder hit a couple of buttons “Mistress it friendly”“There is someone running for the ship,” said Emily“Jay we have an incoming” said Ryder“I’m going out,” said Jay and there was a green light lit up on the ships display showing a man hole towards the back of the sh
Mia had a weird dream that night, Mia was being led by someone who was familiar but she didn’t know who. It was a young woman dressed all in white, the white woman lead her into a dome and on every surface they were moving images or footage playing. Each scene contained a certain woman as the focal point. All the different scenes all starring the same woman. Mia gasp as she took in each new scene. The woman picked up and tightly hugged a young girl who had just fallen and hurt herself, the woman solving a dispute between two boys, the woman running with all her might towards a fight, the woman laughing with a friend, the woman standing strong while under attack from an unknown threat, the woman rushing to the rescue of a teenage girl, the woman taking a shot at her enemy. There were so many to see. And each footage or scene seamed to loop. Playing over and over again. It was strange Mia couldn’t place any of these scenes but each one felt like dejvu, like she h
Once they were back in their apartments, Jay stood Mia beside their bed and he removed her dress and took her hair out. Mia could feel the anticipation coursing through her heating her core. Jay then knelt before her and removed her ankle boots and holster. He then peeled her tight black pants down so she was just in her underwear. He ran his hand up the inside of her leg. He then removed his weapons belt and suit. “Have I fully disarmed you” he asked as he kissed across her collar bone. “Almost” she said as she felt her body stirring from his touch. “You were so good tonight” he claimed her lips stealing her breath and igniting the fire she felt in her core. He broke away, running his fingers down her back kissing down her neck, she didn’t even realise that her Bra was no longer there, he took her first nipple into his mouth and a sigh escaped her lips. His hands wondered lower pulling her undies down. Once they were out of the way he picke
The Elites began the Banquet and after they were announced Mia and Rota held hands while they walked out to take their seats, Jay was announced next and he followed. There were a few whispers as people took in Mia’s dress. They all stood before their seats until Rota had declared the Banquet to begin. Jay then helped Queen Rota into her seat and then Mia, taking his seat next to Mia.The food was delicious and between courses Rota took Mia around the tables to officially introduce her to the people of Ziion. She got a lot of comments about her dress. She just smiled politely and thanked them. As the dessert was brought out, they wondered back to their table. After Rota announced Jay in his new position as Ziion’s Royal Ambassador. Everyone cheered. Rota also explained that Mia would be going on a trip with General Jay to meet all the Planets leaders and to extend our continued friendship to our allies since the crowning. With the official part of the night over, M
Day 21The next day Mia was introduced to all the Palace advisors and important people at a variety of events and functions all organised by Rota and Aunt Alice. Mia was also given two senior attendants that could help her with everything from hair and make up to who she might meet at the next event and the traditions behind the events. She found it exhausting, but it fascinated her too.Dora had prepared Mia as much as she could for her meeting with the Mercern Ring. Jay had also spent some time with Dora, talking over plans about Mercer and questioning Octave. It turned out that the girls on the other planets were on loan to other smuggling rings and that the problem was a lot bigger that they had first thought. For every one of the GPS trackers, they could see, there might be more girls that they couldn’t see.Octave was stripped of all his wealth and it was directed straight into Ziion’s Royal Ambassador’s account. That Jay
Jay and Mia had arrived back to their apartments ten minutes before the dress makers Evie and Skyla arrived with a heavy suite case between them.“Hi, come in” greeted Mia “How did you go?”“Oh, we came up with some really good ideas but I need to see how they feel on you, and if you can move in them”“Ok sure,”The girls set up, they pulled out three dresses that were partially finished. One was a deep maroon, another a deep blue and the last was black.“Wow those colours are really dark,” said MiaYes, they are suitable for a queen and they reflect your true warrior abilities. I wanted your dresses to give you a edge of danger but if they are too dark we can lighten them with chiffon layers, beading and embroidery.”“They are perfect,” said Jay “these are exactly what you need to wear before the Mercern Ring, they convey power and an edge of danger.
Hunter took a big breath, “Yeah. There was another guy that started in the same class as me but his Father was 2nd in command of the Viv military, as you can imagine he couldn’t fail, instructors spent twice as much time getting him through than anyone else. I seen him take the place of other brilliant soldiers when he was incapable. No one in the class could pass or rank up until he had. It was a complete Joke. He lorded it over everyone because of his success, he didn’t even see that he was holding us back. The brass finally got sick of pandering to him and finally let me rank up before him but they got raked over the coals and he was made commander too. We were both sent out on a mission together.” Hunter stopped to rub his hand over his face “He led his team straight into a trap, they were captured and tortured while he bargained for his freedom with classified information. It was two days before my team could get into a position to rescu
“Well Mia, this looks like this is on you” said Bunny “we all know how bad ass you are, you just need to NOT piss them off while demanding they listen to you”Mia laughed “I’m not bad ass”“Hell yes, you are,” said Bunny “we can vote on it if you don’t believe me”Mia laughed again “Your kidding me right”“Actually Mia, how you see yourself is very important, if you don’t see yourself as a queen and their equal they will strip you down with the truth you believe.” Dora said“So who says Mia is a bad ass” Bunny saidYeah they all yelled“Bad ass is carrying a solider twice your weight to safety when he told you to stay in a safe place” said Ryder”“Bad ass is taking out an assassin in the middle of the Kings funeral,” said Kat.“The way you held yourself when I grabbed your
Day 20It was just before 9am the next day and everyone had gathered for the first meeting in what used to be the Kings Apartments.“Alright,” Jay began “thank you everyone for being here. Today we need to figure out, how this team will operate and how we can get into Mercer to rescue the girls.”“I’ve given the new team, some thought. We will have people who operate in a combative role . . . trained soldiers and a non-combative role, this will cover things like advisors, the gifted and administration. I suppose we will figure out most of this on the way and a lot of you already know the tactics that I use but please look out for the people who don’t. Is there anyone else you can think of that we need on this team?”We will need a good cook, if we don’t have your Mum, Shimel and Lacy abord,” offered Bunny“Maybe someone to clean and tidy?” Suggest
“They looked shocked before one of the girls shyly took a sketch pad and started drawing, the other girl while looking over she shoulder made a couple of suggestions. They both look at each other before hesitantly turning the sketch around.The dress had the same corset type top of an evening dress but the skirt was just one layer of shear fabric over the top of pants that and an A-line skirt like a traditional dress.Jay smiled, “Hey Mia, Come have a look at this.” She handed Jay a cup of coffee while examining the dress. “Yes, Said Mia “that’s what I’m after, what other ideas can you think up?”“Um . . . can I see the weapons you normally carry and how you would normally use them, so I can design the dress around them.”“What is your name?” Jay asked“I’m Evie, and this is Skyler. I prefer to sketch and Skyler is the most amazing at making any creation come
