Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

Chapter 60: The Tough Situation Turned into A Desperate One

Rigo then moved to secure the scepter. The scepter was lying on the navigation unit calmly like a piece of dead wood, however Rigo felt some weird surge of energy once he held it.

That meant there was a hidden source of power that was way greater than his own. Rigo was a humanoid, a war made droid specific for killing and excellent at warfare.

His energy core was something that couldn't be taken lightly, and as far as he knew there were rare sources of energy out there in the universe that could rival his.

His energy source could provide energy to a whole world for a century, that made him more wary of this scepter. Thinking there was another one on the other cruiser made him feel astonished.

To make him, his Rojedia empire had spent great effort just to make him. The other droids had unique sources of energy too, however none was even half like him.

Rigo took the scepter and put it inside the bracelet he took once before from James, then he returned to his seat as he began to continue his complicated tasks.

At the other cruiser, the situation was now somehow stabilized. The hole that James did had sucked all the non-fixed things no matter how large they were.

So after a few minutes, the whole commanding deck became deadly silent. Darkness invaded the deck as the lights were shocked after the explosion and went off. The main units commanding this cruiser were still functioning, or else this cruiser might have stopped moving long ago.

James depended on this movement to add more to the chaos for his enemies. He needed to buy himself and Dora as much time as possible.

The only problem now was about that scepter. Even with the irresistible physical suction force created by the whole and the difference in pressure between the two spaces, the scepter didn't even budge a millimeter from its place.

That made James more wary about it, how could he move that scepter and take it away?

He had only one move to pull, which was to try and store that scepter inside his bracelet. Otherwise he doubted his ability to move this scepter from its place no matter what he did.

The situation wasn't still stable, yet he had no time to waste. James moved very carefully towards the deck, while he didn't let loose of his cannon. He must ensure his and Dora's safety.

After all he was still inside the heart of the enemy's fort.

The more he neared the blasted door of the deck, the stronger the attracting force he was subjected to.

His eyes were only fixated upon Dora and the scepter above her. The problem he had now was the way to her, as once he reached the blasted door he knew it.

If he stepped one foot inside like this, he would immediately be absorbed by that opened mouth without mercy. He depended on that force to escape here, however that was his obstacle now.

James began to scan the deck for anything that might help him. sadly, the place was nearly clear of anything that he might grab. He only had that fixed seat in the middle of the room, and the cannon he was dragging behind.

"Rigo, can you see me?"

Before he could do anything rash, he tried to seek any help or guidance from his man.

"Yes, I can see you clearly supreme leader," Rigo replied as he was watching every move of James.

"How are things in your cruiser?" James asked as he knew there was another problematic scepter out there.

"I have secured the scepter for now. The deck is now under my control, however there are some traitors in the crew here. I can't guarantee this situation to last," Rigo explained vaguely without getting into any details.

"That's expected of poisonous people like them. where are our boys?" James sighed as he didn't stop looking for anything that might help him inside the room.

"They are trying to exit the outer layer. I believe they might need fifteen minutes to exit and five more to reach us," Rigo replied.

"Good, how far are you from here?" James asked.

"Not far, a couple of minutes and I will be in front of you," Rigo replied.

"Good, I want to ask you, is there any brilliant idea I could use to get to that seat without being flooded in the space?" James finally asked his most concerned question.

As for Rigo, he too noticed this dilemma and his mind began to analyze things. However he couldn't find any possible solution to James except for one.

"You can wait for me to reach the opening and then I will try to seal it with the body of the cruiser."

James thought of the suggestion Rigo just offered. For James, this was an acceptable solution, on one condition.

"Can you see where those traitor men are?"

This was the determining factor here, if the place was safe and secure then James would prefer to follow the safer plan of Rigo. If time wasn't in his favor then he had to improvise, and he already had a crazy plan that he didn't want to use if possible.

After few long moments of wait, Rigo returned to James as he said:

"Their men are a couple of minutes away from your place, and they are heavily armed."

Jams thought for brief moments before saying:

"That would be a close call then."

"That's not all," Rigo suddenly said, interrupting James' words, "there is another person on your ship, and he is planting bombs everywhere."

James exclaimed in surprise as he totally forgot that man. He muttered softly:

"Charles tell me where is he now?"

"He is a couple of minutes away from the escaping pods department."

James didn't know all the details about this large cruiser layout, however he perfectly knew what the escaping pods meant.

"He is trying to abandon ship, and he wouldn't do that except if he finished planting all the bombs he had everywhere. This ship is doomed, can you hinder him?"

James made up his mind, and the initial crazy plan became his only plan right now. He then began to implement all the ideas that might help him in pulling out this trick successfully.

He was about to gamble, and he had everything to lose here. The stakes were very high, however he had nothing else to do.

If he waited for Rigo to come, then he would die and would also lose his escaping vehicle in the process. Charles wouldn't leave the ship if he wasn't sure he would bring it down to shreds.

So, the possible way now was to delay Charles as long as possible to give him time to save Dora, seize the scepter, and escape from here safely before everything blew up.

That was the only way out of here, and it was full of many variables that he had no control over.
