That's Impossible, isn't it?
Chapter 19
"Collel this is my Father Major Barnes, and this is Levert, he is head of scientific studies, and Kolmar he is the leader of our city, and only answers to one other" I introduced,
"Thank you, may I present our leader, Lord Lakkin-Do, and his emissary Jakka-Ti, and I am as your young ones have named me as Collel, I am Lord Lakkin-Do's advisor, when he requires one" she responded.
"Please, Lord Lakkin-Do, we need your assistance, not as an ally but as an intermediary," Levert added. "The Earth ships have been captured and at this time we fear for the people aboard those ships, we have had no contact with them," Levert continued.
The leader whispered to Collel and replied for him. "Levert, we cannot interfere with the way of your destiny, the path you follow is the path you are traveling, we are gods and gods do not interfere" she responded.
"What kind of gods allow the slaughter of an entire species...twice?" Craig spat out, "You had the power to save the Bokite, and chose to ignore their plight, what kind of immortal gods chose to watch as their people suffer?" Craig continued.
Lord Lakkin-Do whispered to his emissary and then to Collel, and she responded. "Lord Lakkin-Do will leave and contemplate what you have said. He is disheartened by the lack of respect being shown to him, but understands how you see life, as you are born you live and then you die, existence is so much more than that," she replied and all three turned and walked back into a cloud of ground mist and vanished.
"How can anyone be so lack lustre when so many lives are at stake?" moaned Judak, "Not so long ago, in Rome, so many people believed the pope was a direct link to god, and not just an ordinary man," My dad responded.
"God's are fallible just as man is," added Levert,
We sat for a while and when it began to get dark we decided to leave and return the following day, but as we began to get further away, we were surrounded by brilliant light, and when the light faded, we were aboard the lead ship within the Earth's fleet.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" the alarm was sounded as we appeared aboard the ship. "Stand still, don't move a muscle or I will shoot," a soldier demanded.
"Hold your fire!" demanded my father, "Soldier, I am Major Barnes. I don't know how the hell we got here," my dad went on.
"Teleport, must be teleport," I insisted, and the gun was then pointed at me. "Lower that weapon, soldier," my dad insisted, but the soldier just stood his ground.
"You do know who I am, don't you soldier?" my dad asked.
"Sorry, Sir, you have just appeared and as we are being held here, sorry sir, we cannot take any chances," the soldier replied, keeping his weapon aimed at both myself and my father.
"Dad, I don't understand any of this, I mean where are Levert and Craig, Judak, Kolmar, why have they sent us here?" I asked, knowing my dad was as much lost as I was.
Meanwhile on the lead Krile ship...
"Father, are you okay" Craig asked standing next to his father, and Levert, weapons pointing directly at them. "Who are you, and how did you get aboard our ship?" an officer yelled. "Answer me, or suffer the consequences," he added.
"I am Levert, and this is my Son Craiglessty and this is Kolmar, we are Lokite" my father replied. "Intruders on board...Intruders on board," he yelled over the intercom. "Fire at anything not of this ship" he added.
"Take them," he added.
A soldier of sorts approached us and tried to grab hold of us, but he was repelled by a force field surrounding us, we looked stunned. The soldier drew his weapon and fired at my father, the energy beam being absorbed by the barrier protecting us.
"Why are you here, what do you want?" the officer demanded.
"Peace, that is what we desire, we have not been in conflict with anyone for over 100 years, you attacked our planet over several generations after we invaded Bokite, we learned from our mistakes, but you, however, have not," Levert replied.
"You wiped out the settlers, they were of no threat to you," the officer added, obviously brought up on stories of the evil planet Lokite, and perhaps once that may have been true, but common sense prevailed and the faction that ruled Lokite had been all but wiped out, due to the virus introduced to the woman of Lokite, by the Krile.
"Those were true once," Judak replied walking into the control room. "Who are you?" the officer asked and Judak being flanked by a man in white robes. "I am Judak, of Bokite," Judak replied, "And I am Boral," the white robed man answered but not elaborating.
"What's going on here?" the commander of the ship stormed onto the bridge control room flanked by several soldiers, weapons drawn. "Who are these people on my ship and how did they get on board?" he yelled at the officer who was now lowering his head in respect of his superior.
"I am trying to find out, your lordship," he replied, this got Boral's attention, "Lordship?" he said looking at the man standing before him. "Lord Del-Bo-Ray" he responded. "And who gave you that pompous title" he laughed out.
"I am the lord of Krile, I am the supreme leader, and who, sir, are you to challenge my authority?" his lordship demanded, Levert, Kolmar and Craig looked on, stunned at this confrontation, Judak stood silent and with less concern on his face than the rest of them.
"I am Boral; that is all you need to know," he responded. "Yow will tell me who you are, I demand this or you shall pay the consequences," his lordship demanded further.
"You are in no position to demand anything," Boral replied.
He signalled his officer to aim his forward weapons at the Earth armada "Fire all weapons on the two lead ships if he refuses to answer my question," his lordship threatened.
"Sir, who are you, and what are you doing on my ship, and how did you get on this ship?" he demanded, and he gave the order to fire.
Several blasts left the three lead ships and headed for the Earth main ships, they looked to be head on.
Back on the Earth lead ship.
"Sir, they have fired, sir, our shields are down," the young ensign informed him, "Brace Brace Brace" came the command, I reached out and held my Dad, and he held me. "Be strong, Bobby" he whispered,
"I love you, Dad," I replied, "As I do you, Son," he responded.
The blast came toward the ships and stopped; it froze.
"Report, Ensign," the commander of the Earth ship yelled, "Sir, I don't know, it just stopped," the ensign replied.
Back aboard the Krile ship...
"In the name of Lakkin-Do, what is going on? First, I have invaders aboard my ship, now my weapons do not work," he bemoaned his luck, and repeated "In the name of Lord Lakkin-Do explain it to me."
"Your Lordship, please do not use Lord Lakkin-Do in the manner in which you use it" Snarled an angry Boral, and the look of concern now appearing on Judak's face, "Sir, you are not in any way in control, you have no authority over this ship or me," his Lordship responded.
"You say you act in the name of Lord Lakkin-Do" Boral replied. "Who gave you the authority to act on his Lordships behalf?" Boral asked, and now looking intently.
"I am the supreme leader, I usurp authority, I act solely on behalf of his lordship in his absence, I act on behalf of all Krile, and retribution will be had, for all who died on Bokite" he demanded, and a loud cheer came through the whole ship.
The energy from the weapon that was still frozen in space dissipated,
Boral and Judak left the bridge. "Stop them," Yelled his lordship. Boral just waved his hand and all were frozen in time, he walked along the corridor and in an instant all, Levert, Craig, Bobby and his father stood in the same passage.
"Bobby," Craig shouted in some relief as he ran the few yards to grab me, he wrapped his arms tight, "I had no idea where you were!" he cried out. "I was on the ship these bastards fired on," I bemoaned, but was happy to see my Ro-Lok.
"Sir, what is your decision?" Judak spoke, looking at Boral; I was at a loss at this point as I had not seen this robed man before.
"I have learned much, young Judak, my people have become lost, they seek revenge on something, and, yes, I should have stopped that years earlier, but it is not too late to prevent history repeating, my people still need guidance,
A second later we were right back on the bridge with Craig and Levert, Kolmar and my Dad, with Judak, standing beside Boral, he waved his hand and all commotion erupted.
"SILENCE" Boral yelled, and the room quietened.
"Good, it is nice to see you listen," Boral laughed, I did not know they were capable of laughter.
"Now, listen here, your lordship," he started and his lordship's face was growing redder by the second, "You will not inhibit the journey of the Earthlings; in fact, you will escort them safely to Lokite, and offer assistance if needed," Boral began.
"And under who's authority do you demand such a request?" He smirked out, signalling his security force to take Boral into custody," Boral waved his hand and they froze, turning them to crystal.
"Do not test my patience, your lordship!" he shouted angrily.
"Tricks, magic, sorcery!" His lordship yelled trying to show some authority, but somewhat failing, I pulled Craig to me, as this looked like it would not end well.
"I asked you, sir, under who's authority do you act?" he demanded.
A cloud of mist surrounded Boral and he transformed into Lord Lakkin-Do, the crew looked in awe, his lordship dropped to his knees, he began to cry and beg for forgiveness,
"Please, your Lordship, forgive an old fool," he begged,
"You gave yourself a holy title, and further more my Fathers Title. Do you know how insulted I am, sir?" Lord Lakkin-Do yelled out, I feared for the supreme commander, the anger on his lordships face was both scary and impressive.
"Stand!" he demanded. His lordship stood and faced Lord Lakkin-Do, head bowed showing respect. "You no longer hold the rank of supreme commander; I will choose a new representative of the Krile, and someone who will act in the best interest of me," he continued. "You use my name to better yourself, try and wipe out a civilisation I had watched mature, yes, I have also watched them make mistakes, and that is partially my fault, but I will not stand by and watch you commit genocide in my name, and using my father's title," he concluded, he turned and looked over at Judak.
"Young Judak, would you honour me and take up this roll?" he asked,
Judak looked stunned; a smile came over his face. "Your lordship, if that is you wish?" he asked.
"Judak, it is my wish," he replied.
"Stand, all, please stand and hear my words, and set in stone, I, Lord Lakkin-Do, hereby proclaim Judak of Bokite as the Successor appointed by me, all Hail your new leader... and I will be watching, Lord Lakkin-Do said, and then vanished in a flash of brilliant light.
Everyone stood and looked stunned, to them they had just been visited by god, they looked on in reverence at Judak, the former supreme commander looked beaten and worn, the fight removed from him. Craig walked over to Judak, but was stopped by the Security detail, "Let my friend pass," demanded Judak, and Craig approached and hugged him tight. "It's over, my friend, it's over," Judak said, holding Craig tight.
"Release the Earth Ships," he commanded, and his order was obeyed, he had a friend in their god, they would not dare defy him.
I walked over to Craig and the smile on his face was evident that all now should be well; we would go back to Lokite and begin our life together. "What a month," I said, kissing his lips, my dad was watching as I did this and smiled,
"Judak, take us home," asked Craig.
"Yes my friend," he replied. "Escort the Earth ships back to Lokite" Judak's order again was obeyed by all.
"Yes, supreme commander," was the response. And they headed towards Lokite, still not aware who had survived the evacuation of Earth.
Thank you for reading book 1 of Bobby and Craig's adventures.
I will, at some point, begin book 2, when Craiglessty and Bobby visit the Krile home world.

Editor's Notes:
It seems as if Lord Lakkin-Do is displeased with his so called followers.
I don't think he was paying all that much attention to what his people were up to.
I think most of you already know that I like this story. I can hardly wait for book two.
I am looking forward to finding out what will happen next. I hope it won't be too long before we read the first chapter of Book Two.
