Chapter 262 200,000,000 Lightyears away!

“Daniel!” Calishora known as into my thoughts, waking me from the mattress with Melody.

“What’s it?!” I requested as I pulled Melody’s arm off me to sit down up.

“It is my sister! They’re shut! We want you up right here!” Calishora stated, and I sunk into the mattress and grew up from the ground of Octavia’s tree.

“Wow! That was a lot quicker than I bought right here, Papi! When are you going to show me that little trick?” Sofia requested as she came to visit to provide me a kiss. Gaia, Daybreak, Omega, Octavia, and Calishora have been all standing across the now digital and holographic desk.

“You already know now,” I stated, as I gave all of my wives the power with out even touching any of them however Sofia. My connection to the world was so sturdy now that ask lengthy as I used to be related, I may attain something, wherever, that was additionally related to one thing on this world. “What do we all know to this point?”

“They’re method larger than we thought,” Omega stated, “They’ve over a thousand ships with them!”

“Ships? I assumed that they might be coming alone? What else do we all know? How far-off are they? How lengthy until they’re right here?” I requested as I seemed on the desk, however the targets weren’t on the map of the photo voltaic system.

“They simply jumped in across the 200,000,000 lightyear mark, however we solely discovered it as a result of Calishora was right here to assist us slim down the path. I used to be capable of place a pointer on her finger to mark on the map the precise path of them. Olivia despatched a tough beam of compressed gentle to that space, and we began marking them. They know have been know that they’re coming and are shut, however till they bounce once more, we can’t understand how lengthy it is going to take them. For now, the ships appear to be dormant, however they’re sitting near the solar. I believe it’s because they should recharge every time,” Sofia defined, and I nodded, however Omega spoke up.

“What do you intend on doing? We had nonetheless seen no indicators of the Gideons, so what do the remainder of us do?” Omega requested as he seemed across the room. “Could we may whip one thing up, however now we have deliberate to satisfy our foe on the bottom whilst you tackle the sisters, proper?”

“Issues keep the identical. I’ll nonetheless be coping with all of the Drakar and also you all with the Gideons. From what now we have realized, every power ought to keep in its personal zone and struggle considerably honorably. This would be the solely benefit now we have moreover Mox’s Andariel. It’s the lowest rank and a scouting unit, however it helped Sofia and Aiko get a greater thought of their weapons and armor methods,” I defined, after which seemed down at Sofia, who was leaning into me. “Gobbles has additionally helped you each with modification, proper?”

“That raccoon is cute, however I’ve by no means seen a extra loopy critter in terms of repairs and upgrading. Aiko pulled a gun on him when he began to dissemble certainly one of her mechs, however Gobbles pulled it aside earlier than she may increase it up! I simply stood there and laughed at them, however now they get alongside, and the white raccoon simply runs round tearing issues aside and placing them again collectively to make them higher,” Sofia defined, and I grinned, imagining Aiko and Gobbles preventing like with Mox.

“I’ve seen him in motion. He shall be an asset to you all for those who let him. Simply because Gobbles likes to tear issues aside doesn’t imply that he cannot put them BACK collectively once more,” I defined with a smile earlier than gesturing in the direction of the desk, “Can a projection of the enemy fleets be introduced up in entrance of right here to higher clarify our plan?”

“One second, Papi,” Sofia stated with a smile as she put her hand on the desk after which introduced up what seemed like a 3D animation of the enemy fleet. “That is from Augusta, our prime strategist. Her projection reveals that you must hit them right here,” she stated as she pointed to simply in entrance of our solar.

“Good. Calishora, What have you learnt in regards to the ships that every of the ladies is bringing?” I requested, turning to my Dragonic spouse, and briefly considered Lilith, who was now human or slowly reverting again to 1.

“Korrenka has heavy ships which are recognized for his or her shields. Every of her ships is extra sturdy than the primary ring of our solar, however they’re slow-moving because of the weight and propulsion points,” Calishora stated, making me nod as I reminded myself that we have been coping with tech that’s hundreds of thousands of years forward of us in some methods. “Lindemia brings middle-sized ships recognized for his or her pace. They’ve examined varied varieties out by having races inside giant areas like mountains and present deep trenches in an effort to battle one another throughout a distance.”

“How do they assault?” I requested, and he or she answered as quick as she may. “Galliadra ships are small however have highly effective engines permitting them to be actually fast. They’re additionally recognized for his or her maneuverability which makes them powerful to hit.”

“Okay. That is good to know. For now, I want everybody prepping the mechs and getting everybody to security. Octavia, you and Omega can monitor them and let me know as quickly as they make that subsequent bounce. That can begin the clock on how lengthy now we have earlier than Tiamat’s daughters arrive at what I needed to assume to be the solar,” I stated, and I seemed across the desk. “That is it, however we’re prepared. Everybody has been working exhausting, so I need to guarantee that all of us make it out of this alive. Nobody takes possibilities, and everybody works as a workforce. Gaia, I would love you to stick with Sofia and Daybreak, you’ll stick with me, and Omega, you might be with Octavia always, and you allow to the underground instantly if the Crystal domes Diamos is creating round Central and South forests is penetrated. There may be additionally a large halfpipe hall between them.” n-/OvelbIn

I seemed round at everybody, and there have been much more anxious faces than hopeful smiles, however nothing about this was going to be straightforward. It was higher for everybody to have a little bit of doubt proper now, however not all was dangerous. Due to the Gideons wanting like they might come second, I had an opportunity to tackle not less than the primary sister earlier than they bought right here. And whereas I did not assume that it might be straightforward, the management I had now was a lot higher than ever. If there was something I may do to tip the struggle, it might come from me.

“Everybody, that is our likelihood to go away an impression on them. You all have finished a lot for people, and now it is time that I return the favor,” I stated as I seemed round on the severe faces once more. “When that is throughout, we’re going to want to sit down down and determine how we are able to work collectively higher in an effort to defend what’s ours.”

“Daniel?” Sofia stated as she tugged on my arm calmly, “Include me? We will speak extra about this later.”

I nodded earlier than kissing her brow gently and getting up from the desk. Daybreak grabbed my hand earlier than rapidly kissing me as properly. She needed to say one thing however simply could not discover the phrases, so she simply hugged me tightly as a substitute whereas everybody watched us silently till Gaia lastly broke it by hugging each of us without delay with a whisper of ‘I really like you.’

“We should always get going,” I stated softly earlier than wanting in the direction of Omega, who simply nodded. He understood that issues have been about to get very harmful, and all of us had our personal roles to play on this. There was no time for goodbyes, however everybody gave me a hug as I made my method out of the tree.

I finished on the Guardian base first, the place Gobbles was now busy tinkering with some extra machines whereas Mox and Aiko watched him work with extensive eyes from throughout the room. I chuckled softly earlier than making my method over and ruffling his fur calmly with a smile. The raccoon seemed up at me for a second earlier than going again to work with out even lacking a beat in what he was doing.

“What’s he doing?” I requested as I seemed between Mox and Aiko, who simply shrugged in response. “He’s upgrading our weapons methods by including vitality weapons to them.” Mox lastly answered after an extended second of silence, “Gobbles right here has been working continuous since we bought right here on ensuring that we’re ready for what’s to return.”

I nodded earlier than patting Gobbles on the top calmly yet another time earlier than transferring away and in the direction of the place Eddie stood, evident up at this menacing mech. I needed to admit that it was somewhat intimidating, however I knew that it might be definitely worth the wait.

“Eddie, you prepared for this?” I requested as I got here to a cease in entrance of him with my arms crossed over my chest. My conceited and bad-mouthed clone simply nodded earlier than strolling over and hopping into the cockpit with a smile on his face. I chuckled softly earlier than slapping the facet of the machine calmly and watched because it got here to life effortlessly.

“The brand new work the Area Raccoon did actually offers me extra on-ground motion and suppleness like I by no means thought doable! I’m simply scowling on the fucking factor as a result of It’s exhausting to imagine that it will probably work so good. I’d present you, however you do not have time for that bullshit !” Eddie stated with a smirk because the machine shifted and moved round barely as if it was getting adjusted to its new pilot.

“I am going to take your phrase for it. Simply ensure that to remain near me and out of bother,” I stated with a smirk of my very own earlier than making my method again in the direction of the place the remainder of the Guardians have been ready outdoors with mechs able to go. Gobbles had really outdone himself this time, not solely in repairing their broken machines but additionally in making them higher than they have been earlier than. He added vitality weapons that did not want ammunition however recharged utilizing gentle from the solar or some other star in area which meant that they might by no means run out of energy as long as there was a star close by. It was a formidable feat, however we might see how properly it labored as soon as we have been within the thick of issues.

The Guardians all nodded at me as I approached, with Eddie following shut behind me. I may really feel his pleasure emanating from him even by means of our hyperlink, however I pushed it down for now and centered on what wanted to be finished. We had an extended day forward of us, and I needed to be ready for no matter got here our method.
