Chapter 258: Step In If I Had To

Before we left, Shiva transformed her body into a floating platform and allowed everyone but Rai Cait on. He was forced to run behind; Shiva said it was good for him to stretch his legs after being cramped up for so long.

Rai Cait didn't complain, so I left it alone but vowed to get between the two if she started to go hard on him. While I was sure that he deserved it, the man was clearly making an effort and really didn't have to put up with her badgering but instead chose to.

For me, that was worth trying to look past the past indiscretions. Rai Cait was a god after all, and he submitted to me something he was clearly not used to doing, but he had made a choice.

There was also a question floating around my head about the Black Boxes and Gem Hearts that contained the personalities of the two feline races. The two weren't that different, and it was sad to see immortal creatures like this.

Creatures and people like this should be working together, but there was obviously so much more to this than just a misunderstanding. I really didn't think any of the hate was created by their own people. Instead, it would have had to have been a Fallen.

There was the talk of the fallen hero, and Tyler had interactions with him. So, it was questionable what actually happened, or if there was a Fallen still here or not.

The next problem was going to be how I was going to force the Sky Folk to give back to my people. 

I still had no idea what the ship was going to be like or what its capabilities were going to be, so it was hard to make estimations. I also had no idea what was going to be waiting for me.

Would I even be able to do what I wanted, or was I setting out on a mission that could just get everyone and myself killed? There was a lot that I still didn't know, but I also didn't really have the time to build an army.

If there was a giant weapon in space, and it was over where I was, then that could only mean one thing.

They were going to use it to take out the Tellarider, but the problem was that there were all the goblins, my people, and my wives. I had a hard time believing that they would do something like this, but I couldn't take chances with all the stories that I had heard about their arrogance.

"General, are you ready to get back to duty? Looks like we will be equals from now on," Davo said as we burst into the cave where the Ravager, and once General, was waiting.

"I have been waiting for your return, but where is our favorite person to hate?" Kiliada asked with a grin as we hopped off the platform, and Shiva transformed back into her humanoid form. 

"I am here, just had to catch up!" Rai Cait called as he ran into the room, and Killiada nodded with a smile.

His manner was far more relaxed now, and then Killiada turned his attention to me with a smile. The red glow started to fade as he did, and it turned into a soft light blue.

As he did, Shiva and Davo's red glow started to do the same, and then their metal bodies started to turn pure white. 

Shiva's blue sapphire dress stood out from her body, and she let off a strange whistling breath, and her complicated expression started to shift. 

While that was happening, The men both came over and kneeled before me and bowed their heads. 

"We are ready to serve you for the rest of our lives, or at least until we run out of juice!" Davo said with a chuckle after looking back up at me.

"Yes, we shall become the Weapon Creation Systems and Targeting Systems. Davo is an expert when it comes to making weapons, and you can get Rai to confirm!" Kiliada explained, and I nodded to them, and the two flashed with light as they became my subjects.

I turned to look at the other two; Rai Cait and Shiva were talking quietly, and she had her hand on his arm. I decided that I would let the two of them be for now, and I turned to Sakura and Helaina.

The two of them were waiting patiently, and seeing them gave me a bit of relief from everything that was bussing around inside of my head. At times like this, I severely missed Hilda and her constant vigilance to help me go through things. 

"Once they are done, we will all head back, and then pump the vampire bear man full of BeeBliss Serum, and then head to the surface. There is one thing that I want to talk to Helaina about, though," I said as I walked over to the pair who had stepped back from the group when we jumped off Shiva.

"Hmm?" Helaina hummed as I came up to her.

Sakura was holding her hand and tried to let go and walk away to give us privacy, but Helaina held her. She was starting to look worried, and I understood, but I was hoping that this would end up working.

"I would like to give you two sets of injections of the BeeBliss serum. First, a single microdose, and then I am going to try and scan you again, but this time I am going to use other scans as well. I have better control of my facilities now, and I should be able to get something with the boost you will get from the serum, but I am not sure," I explained, and Helaina relaxed.

I was curious to know what she was worried about, but I figured that I could save that for later. I was glad that she was feeling relaxed now, and Helaina smiled at me and nodded.

"That sounds good, but I don't really know too much about the serum you are talking about. If you think it will work, I trust you," Helaina said, and I pulled both girls into a hug.
