This craft, was nothing like the one the ‘BEAST’ had landed in. About three times the size? IT was jaw dropping to see it even as they were approaching. Some burn marks, from where it had entered the atmosphere of Cflenia but otherwise there was nothing, to leave them in doubts, that it was their key to ‘salvation’.
If they had wondered, about HOW to enter the craft? A hatch opened in front of them. They entered, but not as hostiles. Their garments revealing the female form, with temptation of the flesh, more than apparent. In haste! Quickly! Eioni had trained them into the 'TIME is of the essence' and mindful of securing their prize!
They spread throughout the vessel. The crew, a large number of males, were soon enchanted and bewitched by these females. Their soft skin, their beautiful faces, sparkling eyes and.. and ample bodies! The Captain (Vrok) was identified and targeted. He too fell under their spell! As for the female crew members? Male Cflen, trained again by Eioni, soon took care of their aspirations!
Whilst the crew, were distracted, others boarded. They were Arvania's select ‘Supreme Cflen Gladiators’. Weapons and pure strength, as they secured control over protected and guarded positions, to now have the Armory and access to the Human(a) weapons.
Less, than an Earth hour, had passed and the vessel, was now, completely under the control of Eioni and her Cflen! SE Phri now made herself known to Eioni. She was ‘technically’of equal rank, respectful of Eioni and how she had trained, pushed, held firm to her beliefs for the freedom of and protection of the Cflen.
Her and her military, were like clockwork wound figures as some of them fell in behind her. They wore a uniform that was immaculate, Not a button or a crease out of place. VERY distinctive. The colours of it ? The Fodawke hated and would go absolutely crazy, at seeing it. The colour of BLOOD.
What sent shivers one might say, ‘down Eioni’s spine; was their EYES. EVERY single one of them. ALL deep penetrating RED. Not dyed, not wearing contact lenses as we might know them, PENETRATING RED, PIERCING EYES..
In truth Eioni, had not known of SE Phri or her military. They were secretly trained and were not only physically, but mentally AND intellectually superior, to any other Cflen. ‘pure bloods’. They ALL, had the tubes in their fingers that could kill within seconds, their targeted victims. They could also kill Cflen if they were forced to do. Again, something Eioni, was NOT knowing.
Esleha, when she had been at the Awesa, had received instructions from Tolgani. Now put into play as she carried out his orders. The acquisition of three of the so called BEASTS ‘Regen tubes’ modified to produce over the last ten years; the ‘pure bloods’; in their hundreds. The blood from Esleha had been in the mix of the first of the ‘pure bloods’.
What Eioni, did not know, NOR the Fodawke, was the sheer nunbers of these and how, had the battle taken place, they would have been caught off guard, with SE Phri’s forces mercilessly slaughtering them.
They also, unknown to Eioni; had one and only one purpose. The annihilation of the Human(a) in any shape or form. B’stards of the BEAST would be executed,. Any future contact, with the Human(a) would see them, butcher them, WITHOUT MERCY. They were without empathy in any way shape or form re the Human(a) OR its b’stard offspring.
If it had worried Eioni re the Human(a) on this vessel? Knowing what she now knew and was party to? What she had failed of course to take into focus, was the FACT that the ‘pure bloods’ were ALL highly intelligent. Much to her relief she was now reassured by SE Phri, that NO HARM, would come to any of the occupants, by them.
“I am not here to usurp your authority, simply for my ‘pure bloods’ to take control of the weapons systems, weapons and technology. YOU sister are respected by us for the way you have always sought to protect OUR people. BUT.
As of now, your ‘Gladiators’, will NOT interfere, in the military operations of my ‘pure bloods’ against the b’stard of the BEAST.” Eioni bowed and accepted that the Gladiators would stand down. They would be interrupted by the arrival of and under escort; Arvania.
To be greeted by Eioni. Arvania was taken by surprise as she was now introduced to, SE Phri, who bowed and acknowledged, who she was. So, Eioni realized, she too, had NOT known of the ‘pure bloods’?
“Please know my highness, I and my battalions, will shortly be deployed to take care of the b’stard of the BEAST, please excuse us. We have much to do.” She bowed and they were surprised to see the other ‘pure boods’ with her do the same before they left them.
They were now seeing a screen, light up and reveal? The numbers outside the craft of them, was now more than apparent and terrifying. THOUSANDS of them, lined up in, as they called it ‘batallions’ .
Identical, in every way, cept for mark of red below the eyes. SE Phri was unique. Her markings were NOT the same as those stood behind her. Each hundred had it’s own commander. Those ‘commanders’’ had similar but again, NOT identical markings to SE Phri.
Stood with them Gianne and Ariaki as Eioni now brought them up to date with what had transpired since their bording of the vessel. “ My Gladiator Cflen have stood down re the weapons, armory, technology. That is under the control of SE Phri and her forces.”
Several of her ‘pure bloods’ had now entered and were busy working on and with the craft main systems. It was astonishing how quick and no doubt attentive but clearly in control they were.
The appearance of more of them, this time armed with weapons. The TRICON so familiar with the Gladiator Cflen BUT these? They flashed with a blue surge. They approached them and bowed.
“We are sent by SE Phri, to act as protection for you our Queen..” He bowed to Arvania turning to do likewise to Eioni. “We do not, disrespect your own Gladiator Cflen. We carry out, the orders of SE Phri. We DO NOT disobey her.
Eioni nodded acceptance and understood, what he was saying. He bowed again and they took up places around them within sight of them. She had not encountered any threats of hostilities from the Human(a) crew.
"The crew can be found in the appointed holding area, this way my Queen." Captain Vrok, had been watching as Eioni had opened the hatch to step into the crew’s holding area as it had been now called. He was not surprised to see them BUT the strange figures the ‘pure bloods’? They were armed he noted wth some strange but he had no doubts at all, lethal weapons. Those piercing RED EYES? Sent shivers across him.
As Arvania was scanned on controlled entry, she flinched, realising what was happening? The object on her forehead illuminated. Light flared out from it, A screen lit up in front of them, A voice spoke. Unknown to any of them except Arvania. The voice of Tolgani!
“Welcome daughter of Elesha, Queen of the Cflen! If you are hearing my voice then you truly are in need of my help, and to this end, have I delivered the means of your salvation. On this vessel you will find ALL, that is necessary, to help you, whatever your task, ASK and it will be ANSWERED.
The ‘pure bloods’ are under the control of SE Phri, she is their absolute commander and the protector of the people. Answerable to no one, not even you! Please remmber that ! They are for the protection of the Cflen, the slaughter and destruction of the BEAST, the b’stard of the BEAST.
The screen, now showed, the ‘pure bloods’ about to be deployed, against the Fodawke. Panned, to show the ridge where the Fodawke were stood lined up in their THOUSANDS? Truly a terrifying sight to see.
Then she saw some craft? Transporters that had been stored in the armoury of this vessel? With weapons capable of firing rockets? They were taken forward of the ‘batallions’ and they now moved ahead with the ‘pure bloods’ following.
All those entering, were scanned by the systems and this, was part of an elaborate defence system. Set up to prevent unauthorized persons entering. If you were not so permitted, you would be given three warnings, ignoring them would mean the defence systems would activate. You could end up being stunned or dead!
She looked at Captain Vrok. He too had seen the images of those creatures. They reminded him of demons! Those Gargoyles he he had seen in films from Earth, centuries past! He moved towards Arvenia as two of Se Phri’s ‘pure bloods’ blocked him, she told them, to step aside, let him through.
He bowed and then looked at her. "We will assist you in any way we can. My crew and the craft with its weapons are at your disposal. NO one will disobey your orders Queen. All I ask is that no harm comes to the crew. “ He looked anxiously at the ‘pure bloods’.
“NO harm will come to them. We need you and your crew to help us. As you can now see we have an enemy that has only one objective. The extermination of my race. We are the Cflen. We will see the..” her voice tailed off about to say ‘destruction of the b’stard of the BEAST.
Maybe that, might not, for the moment, be a good sentiment, shared with them, since it was the Human(a) who had brought this evil to them.
SE Phri and the ‘pure bloods’ were now entering the valley below the ridge where the Fodaweke were. The Fodawke were getting impatient, where were the Cflen? Surely it was time for them to submit and either die or get eaten.
Lunch was late! Their eyes scanned the horizon, fidgeting as some argued about going to find the Cflen, never mind about rules and the deal that had been made? Lined up, they did not see the craft approaching from behind them, just what now was being revealed albeit rather indistinctly, in front of them.
The ever growing, row after row of figures? Now stood approaching them from the front in the valley below them? The Fodawke leaders were shaking at the sheer numbers. These were all identical. With them packed close to each other? The COLOUR RED at their centre was so prominent, it was like a ‘red flag’ to the Fowdawke.
They broke rank, to move towards them. Chaos? No control just that primal rage released, triggered by that dammed mass of RED! A hunger that had to be sated. FOOD, glorious FOOD, lined up in their... it had NOT seen the rocket launchers until it was too late.
The burst of them, breaking into the air ,above them and now heading towards their own, on the ridge, well the ones that had held their ground? The destruction was so potent as to wipe out half of them in one go. In the chaos, they were stumbling around avoiding the bits and pieces of their ?
The rocket attacks, were short. Suddenly they stopped? If the Fodawke on the ridge could breathe a sigh of relief? From behind them, two battalions of SE Phri’s ‘pure bloods’ who earlier had been landed behind them,, now attacked them.
They were, just as was now known, without mercy to the b’stard of the BEAST. This was a moment, in time they had been trained for, tried and tested to the extremes. Now they took their newly designed Tricon weapons and slaughtered, lets make it clear SLAUGHTERED the Fodawke. Few escaped their rage.
Confusion chaos and bloody murder, until finally the remaining Fodawke surrendered. Eioni had asked SE Phri if she would gift her some of the Fowdawke? SE Phri had not been too pleased to grant her request BUT, after she had given good reasons for why? She conceded and instructed accordingly her ‘pure bloods’ NOT to entirely slaughter the whole of them.
Some of the Fodawke leaders who had survived? Now in front of the Cflen whore the so called Queen? The one they wanted to kill and eat.. NOW feeling the inner rage of knowing they were powerless,
Fear within them, not because of Arvania or her Cflen Gladiators. NO. The ones with blood on them, the red eyed ones, stood behind them, who had slaughtered their kith and kin in their thousands. The ‘pure bloods’.
Captain Vrok had never seen such creatures. The thing of nightmares! Then the ‘Queen’ whispered to Arvania. It made her smile. She gave orders, to her chosen ones, of the Gladiator Cflen.
Smiling they beheaded them, threw their bodies to the capitulated Fodawke, ordering them to feast! THEY, wasted no time, in eating their own, down to the remaining bones and some hair from the wings?
SE Phri had made it clear, to her ‘pure bloods’ to grant the Gladiator Cflen some rewards in the form of a gift, from them, of their enemy. She had known how much fear, terror they had forced upon the Cflen. They knew the Gladiators had accepted they would give their lives for their people. THAT she recognized as commanding some respect. From thereon they would have charge, of the capitulated Fodawke, to do with as they pleased.
Arvania had been surprised, by what transpired. SE Phri had good reason to rid her and her ‘pure bloods’ of the responsibilities re the Fowdawke. They, were in training, building new equipment to the specifications they had taken from the craft archives. Space craft, transport and weapons equipped to allow them to attack the Human(a) colonies, WORLDS.
The remaining b’stard of the BEAST was put work to make sure all of the necessary materials, fuels, necessaries were at the hands of SE Phri’s ‘pure bloods’ engineers and technicians. The work that followed; the results, had Captain Vrok and the rest of the Human(a) astonished.
They were kept fed on the ones that fell and were too weak to work. SE Phri had had her Scieste working on several essential projects. One of them was from a suggestion that had been put forward by Gianne.
Modify the b’stard of the BEAST genetically engineer new ones that were strong, powerful, brain stupid BUT ! With a pre programmed hatred; a HATRED, OF THE BEAST.
Just the sniff of one near them and they would go crazy!
