‘So what is the plan?’ Hawk asked seriously, knowing this was the best option they had at the moment. The blue alien laughed.
‘Hold on. Who are you guys? I can help you of course but don’t think I would jump the moment someone accepts the offer. Well, technically I do but that’s not the point now,’ he said with a laugh.
Hawk swallowed slowly, thinking what would be the best play.
‘My name is Professor Zipp, and we are,’ but the alien interrupted him.
‘Save it professor Hawk. I know who you are but I would have liked to hear it from you. The truth. Professor, why don’t you introduce me to your lady friend?’ he said as he looked at Veronica
Hawk looked at Veronica and when she looked at him, she slowly nodded.
‘This is Veronica. We are traveling along with another friend of ours who is in the city right now.’ The moment he said it, he wondered where Eto was.
‘Veronica,’ the alien said and he stood up. His lower two arms rested beside its body but the other two made gestures that he wanted her hand.
Slowly she gave it and he grabbed it firmly, pulling it to kiss it.
‘Djon Barlow, at your service,’ he said with a grin.
‘Barlow?’ Hawk asked. ‘That’s a very human name, is it?’ and Djon started laughing.
‘Named by my human mother but you can keep it with Djon.’
Even though Veronica still did not trust him, knowing his name made him more tolerable.
‘So again, what’s the plan?’ Hawk asked and Jon sat down again.
‘Aye. My ship was taken into custody and I would like to take it back.’
‘We have a ship,’ Hawk said but Djon waved his hands.
‘I’m not leaving without my ship,’ he said. He put his hands together and looked at Hawk. ‘What kind of ship?’ he asked with interest.
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
‘A 12216625-EO’ he answered and Djon started laughing harder than he already did.
‘It’s a nice ship but not built for long distances. It will fit in the hangar of my ship,’ he said.
‘So what do we need to do?’ Veronica asked him. Djon’s laughter went silent but he still showed a little grin.
‘We’re gonna break into the shipyard basement and we will be taking my ship back.’
People on the street started to run away the moment a hole in the wall of the temple appeared. One of the pillars broke and something came out of it, taking dirt and stones with him.
The body of a young boy came down on the ground with a huge hit. Nobody walked to him as they all were watching the hole and were wondering what had happened.
Finally, one man started walking to the boy and wanted to ask if he was alright. Before he could ask it, someone yelled at him.
‘Don’t go near him. He is mine,’ a heavy voice said and a large man in black armor came through the wall.
The boy opened his eyes and tried to stand up.
‘Get back’! he yelled to the people behind him and they didn’t stay to be told again.
The crowd started to run and scream while the knight still approached Eto.
‘You better give up, unless you want to be beaten up some more?’ the knight asked and Eto could hear a flingering of laughter behind the words.
‘You talking about yourself?’ Eto said and he gave a little grin.
Suddenly, Eto started to run to the knight but he was prepared.
Eto jumped and the Vulture knight grabbed his sword, ready to strike again but the moment he did, Eto dodged it by sliding over the ground on his knees.
When he was right under the knight, Eto's legs started to glow and he prepared himself to jump.
‘Take this!’ Eto yelled and with full force he jumped, hitting the knight with his back and sending the knight with him into the air.
The knight didn’t expect it and he flew through the air with Eto behind him.
‘Brat’ the knight mumbled angrily and quickly grabbed his sword.
He hit Eto with the back of his blade, sending him back into the ground and the knight slowly started falling.
Eto hit the floor, sending pieces of it flying around. More screams could be heard from the crowd running around.
The knight put his blade towards the ground, pointing at Eto who just got up. He looked up to the knight and he saw the blade coming near him.
Eto quickly jumped back but the knight quickly followed him when his feet touched the ground.
The arm of Eto started to glow and in his jump, he hit the knight who approached him. Unfortunately, he grabbed Eto’s fist and stopped him.
‘That won't work anymore,’ the knight said and he grabbed Eto’s fist firmly.
He pulled him and hit him on his chest with a huge kick, hitting the star shard under Eto’s shirt with his armor.
A flash of pain rushed through Eto before he could realize that he was falling.
The knight had kicked him over the railing of the level they were standing on and Eto was falling down deeper into the city.
