Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

Chapter 22: James' Decision

James and that humanoid kept watching the whole event that happened at Dora's location. After she disappeared with her crew, the humanoid said:

"I feel that immortal is someone we should stop."

James took a deep breath as his mind was processing what he just saw and heard. What happened to Eli wasn't a disease, but it seemed like a side effect from that weapon.

If so, he needed to take her and move as far away from here as possible. James believed if he went away from that weapon area of effect, Eli would get better soon.

'I didn't think we would find a tyrant so early, your vision supreme leader is always right. We have to stop that mad man, the one who calls himself the immortal."

James heard these strange words coming from that humanoid, so he regained his focus as he asked carefully:

"What do you mean by that? What's your name again?"

"My code name is Ri-2147-Go-3567."

"Don't you have a name?" James said.

"No, we all have codenames, not names."

James nodded his head as he declared:

"I don't like that long code of yours, so you will be called Rigo from now on."

"Rigo I like that name," The humanoid said.

"Then tell me Rigo, what did you mean by saying those words back then?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just following your teachings, supreme leader."

"What teaching?" James asked with doubt, while Rigo replied simply:

"Your speech was really inspiring, as you wanted to destroy all tyranny systems in this world. This immortal is a tyranny person, so we need to eliminate him."

James started to feel a headache already, as he interrupted Rigo's words:

"That's now what I meant back there."

"Then what did you mean by this: Let's stand together and bring down these tyranny systems and give the whole galaxy the chance to choose, the chance to live, and the chance for freedom?"

James opened his mouth and closed them as he didn't know what to say. Just as he was trying to find any suitable answer, Rigo shouted all of sudden:

"Look, that dead man is standing."

James turned immediately towards the screen, where he saw Charles was standing straight from the ground.

"That's impossible, that hit was enough to kill a giant, not just a human," James muttered with disbelief as he watched Charles standing there alive like never before.

"You are the foolish one here, Dora kid. Did you think you can kill me, the Immortal, with just this gun? Gagagaga, that's hilarious."

The sound of Charles appeared clearly in the archive room, where Charles was speaking to himself like a mad man. He then added:

"My preparations are complete. The imperial army will appear in less than one hour, where it will lay ambush to all the rebel forces. It's time for me to eliminate this continuous headache and kill the last descendants of those nasty guardians. That's a good reason for me to celebrate, and I intend to make the party unforgettable, gagagagaga."

James focused his gaze upon this crazy young man, as he didn't expect that Dora's fated enemy was this young kid.

"Rigo, can he find out your espionage devices?"

"No, don't worry supreme leader, these espionage portals are well hidden."

"Good," James said this with a deep breath out of relief.

"Now, I better move. I need to kill all those kids myself, although they are doomed once they get under the effect of this great creation of mine, but it always felt nice to taste their blood myself.

This foolish girl is trying to search for that device, but she didn't know it's installed inside her ship. She won't be able to find it, as the safest place is always the most exposed place, gagagagagaga."

James was more confident about his previous decision, he needed to leave here and move away, and he needed to do this fast. Just as he was about to order Rigo to bring all the droids and start abandoning this ship, the voice of Charles echoed with a devilish laugh:

"Even if this silly kid found it, she will destroy it. stupid foolish ignorant guardian, destroying this creation of mine won't stop the process, instead it will fasten it.

The only possible way to cure anyone infected by this device is to make the device work in the healing mode. Anything other than this is futile, even if some of these filthy seeds escaped, they will die eventually, gagagagaga."

James stood there stupefied like a statue while Charles headed towards somewhere in the distance. There, he entered a huge cave, a few moments later, a small cruiser emerged from this cave.

James' eyes narrowed as he recognized this model of the cruiser, it belonged to the empire he used to work for. The cruiser moved rapidly to disappear in the next second from the screen. Rigo turned to look towards James as he asked with concern:

"Why do you look so pale, supreme commander?"

James gritted his teeth as he muttered:

"Gather up everyone here, we have a war to attend."

Rigo looked in doubt towards James as he asked:

"Don't you need to know more knowledge about our empire?"

"I will, but not now. We have something more urgent to do. Besides, we can move all the data here into my cruiser."

"I mean no offense, supreme leader, but your cruiser is very tiny. I doubt its system will be able to hold even tiny part of the data here," Rigo said frankly, but James wasn't offended, as he knew he had a super advanced system in his little cruiser, so he said:

"Just bring up the boys and prepare to move every single bit of data from here."

Rigo seemed unconvinced as he suggested:

"We have some bigger cruisers in the warehouse; we can operate them and join this fight with it."

James looked at it with interest as he asked:

"Are they still functioning?"

"Yes, but I think the weapon system there is antique in comparison to nowadays technology."

James smiled as he had a solution for that, he also was excited about the presence of such cruisers.

"Leave the weapon problem for me, just try to operate everything you have. C'mon, move fast, we have no time to lose."

"Immediately, sir."

James watched the disappearing Rigo as his mind was thinking about another dilemma. He entered this struggle between good and evil sides without his choice, but now he decided to do that. He looked at the screen where that immortal was as he felt extreme hatred towards that immortal.

He didn't know why he held such hatred towards this man, but he thought it might be related to Eli's condition. That little pure girl that was trying to save her friends, she was about to die, her friends were about to die, Dora and her team were about to die.

James felt this all was wrong, a wrong he needed to fix. He closed his eyes as he tried to calm down his inner hatred that kept boiling in him, while muttering:

'What a strange hatred, I really hope it goes away after I save all those people.'
