“Commander Jackson, you remember Mia”
“Yes the second Princess and your wife”
“That’s me” Mia said with a smile “So how’d you guys go out here?”
“We got seven prisoners and we took out 38 others.” Said Jay
“There are two more dead in the ship and one that has flipped, Dora got the truth out of him, he was a guard for a healer and had already tried to escape from the smuggling ring, but was found out and it didn’t go well, Serene, his healer, healed him and made him promise to always protect her. He was a couple of days away from putting his second escape plan into action for them both. He is very worried, Serene is being guarded by guards he doesn’t trust to keep their hands to themselves and wants to go get her now. He is writing up a report with all the details we will need to carry out the rescue. I was hoping if we could form a team tonight, we could rescue them soon.”
Jay nodded taking in all this information. “Jackson can your men take t
Mia made it back into the cockpit. Jay, Hunter, Jackson, Benny & Ryder. Were all standing around a map on one of the tables arms folded across their chests talking the plan over. Mia noticed that the men were all as tall as each other, just as muscled, all soldiers, all alike. Ryder moved away to check over Mistress after the battle, making sure nothing was damaged. Beeves, Boris, Tilly and Bunny were on their comms reading through Hunters report. Shimel and lacy had prepared drinks and some food everyone still up. Rota, Rose and Dora and gone to bed. Mia nudged in beside Jay to listen in, he instantly pulled her in front of him, wrapping his arms around her. They had circled the four houses where the GPS trackers were clumped together. They had numbered them.“Ryder how long till lift off” Jay asked“3 minutes” Replied Ryder“Ok, take her up when she is ready, we need to get to Ziion”“Alright a
As soon as “Mistress” landed at the Military Port, Jackson met his team with the trucks and made sure everything was ready. Hunter, Jay, Benny, Bunny and Tilly headed straight for his vehicle and took off towards the city.They approached the house where Serene was being held. “Benny, Bunny secure the permitter” Jay ordered.Hunter was about to knock on the door when they heard a scream, Hunter went white, “that’s Serene.”“We kick the door in three,” said Jay “One, Two, Three” They both kicked the door with all their might and it busts from it’s hinges. Hunter charged in first, he shot the man that was holding what Jay assumed was serene. She was being held up by her hair with her feet unable to touch the ground. Jay was shocked she was very young maybe fifteen or sixteen and so small. Hunter caught her before she fell to the ground. Jay shot the other guard in the room and kept his gun tra
The truck with the girls was sent back to base where the girls would be checked over, showered, supplied clean clothes and put to bed in a dorm with female soldiers to watch over them.Ryder and Emily were waiting when they got back to the ship. Ryder had a pack on his back and they jumped into the back seat. Hunter was still cradling Serene so there was plenty of room.“Hi Serene,” said Ryder “I have some food and water for you to help with your recovery. My name is Ryder and this is Emily, she is gifted like you.”Serene took the food and Hunter opened the bottle so she could drink. “Hi” she said shyly“Thanks Ryder” said Hunter for both them both.Jay gunned the engine and headed to the second house. By the time they got there Jackson’s team had cleared the house and the girls were waiting in a room.“They all have the numbing cream on,” said Tilly, “Should I start?&r
Day 15The next morning everyone on “Mistress” met in the kitchen for breakfast at 8.30. Jackson was there too. He and the rest of Jays team that was at the last house hadn’t got any sleep yet but they were thankful for food.It was organised that Dora would interview all the girls starting after lunch and to find out their details. The girls would be given a choice but it was preferable the gifted ones would be taken to Planet S610 for training and Jackson would keep the others on Ziion. They would all have access to counsellors and if they wanted self-defence training and then if they had homes to go back to their family would be called. If they didn’t Jay would open up his investment houses that he had purchased for them to be looked after in, until they found jobs and fit back into society.There was also the other matter of the other girls spread across planet Ziion that still needed to be rescued. Jackson was confid
Jay and Mia were some of those people.They were wrapped in each other arms, enjoying each other’s company.“I’m so glad we could rescue all those girls” Mia said “I’m so proud of you.” She planted a soft kiss on his lips, “do you think you got everyone or do you still think the Palace guard is still compromised?”Well we don’t need D-day but yes, I think there are still some in the palace guard but I’ll get Dora to figure out who.“Were the houses really bad”Jay shook his head, “yeah they were really bad. When I found the girls most of them were totally traumatised. One for the girls had been knocked unconscious by one of the guards. I can’t believe people think that it’s fine to treat others like that.” Jay shook his head“What do you think of Hunter?”“Yeah he’s alright, I think he just got caught up in the
Day 16Everyone on Mistress met for breakfast at 8.30 as per usual, they wouldn’t reach Planet S610 until mid morning. There were so many people on Mistress that they had to use the dinning room and Kitchen for people to eat. It was loud chaotic and fun. Mia had just got her breakfast from Rota and had started to walk to Jay when one of the gifted girls dropped a cup in front of her. The Girl Gasped. The kitchen went completely silent, she had a faraway look on her face. “You too, I see you both, you share one crown, your arms match and you speak the same words in the same voice.” Her focus then returned to the room.She looked confused. “show me your arms,” she said to Rota and Mia, She took Mia’s breakfast and passed it to someone standing near. She then took hold of Rota and pulled her to stand in front of Mia. Your arms with your birth marks, hold them up. Both Mia and Rota lifted their left a
Rota had requested that they leave Planet S610 for Ziion that night so they could meet with the elite tomorrow afternoon and discuss the changes to the “funeral” in person. The funeral was already scheduled for the day after. Rota also had to explain the joint crowning and her theory on the Ziion Blood restoring itself.Rota had a lot to plan but thankfully not the venue or the people invited. She had finished compiling a list of everything that needed to be done and organised. She and Mia also had to practice the Blood Oath, she wasn’t sure if it made a difference but Tia had said it sounded like they had one voice. She gave some of the jobs to Shimel and Lacy to organise and she sent a message to her Aunt for her help, explaining everything. It all hinged on the Elites and what they thought of the idea. They would have to be on board 100% or it wouldn’t work.She was lost in thought for how she would introduce Mia, it had to be done just right
Day 17It was mid-afternoon the next day and the catch-up conversation in the kitchen between the team and Jays family had just started to peter out. They had landed at the Elites personal port and Rota had gone to organise tomorrow. That was four hours ago.Mia didn’t know if that was a good thing or Bad, but she was starting to get a little restless not knowing. Marie had already claimed the kitchen and Mia was already stuffed full with the most delicious cakes and snacks. Emily and Serene were also enjoying helping in the kitchen. It looked like neither had baked sweet food just because it was nice to eat.“I’ve done it” Rota announced to everyone triumphally “Everything is organised and ready”“I’m worried” said Jay “and this time, I know she is organising something” everyone laughed“Do you trust me?” asked Rota“The last time I heard th
