Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

Chapter 43: Running into A Heated Space War

James was in his dilemma when the cruiser got a violent sudden tremble that awoke him from his loss. He looked towards Rigo who said:

"I feel this isn't a normal thing, supreme leader."

"Me too, by the way we need to find some other name for me to be called, as I don't like this supreme leader thing," James said as he stood from his seat and moved straight towards the commanding deck.

He didn't cross a couple of meters for another, more violent tremble hit the cruiser again, to make him lose balance. He controlled himself with difficulty while Rigo ran to help him stand straight.

"This is no normal trembles Rigo, I think this is a shot effect hitting the deflective shields of this cruiser," James said as he again moved towards the commanding deck with wide strips and obvious hurry. Rigo followed him with the same pace, until they both reached the deck.

"When did the war start?" James exclaimed loudly when he reached there, as through the eye of the commanding deck he found many huge spaceships fighting each other.

"As I thought, we are under assault," James muttered while he moved towards the forefront, where the three girls were busy moving the small cruiser to a safe zone, but there was no safe zone at all.

"Why are you here? go back and buckle up to your seat back there until we escape here," Dora said as she was sitting on the main seat trying to evade as much fire as possible. Another strong tremble occurred again which nearly made James fall on the ground like before, while he was saying:

"I'm not going back and sitting there and my whole life is in the hands of someone like you."

"Like me? what's wrong with me? she said aggressively, but her voice was interrupted by another successful hit on the cruiser and the strong tremble that followed.

"You are a lousy pilot, move now and leave this thing to me," James said as he took a step forward towards her seat. Dizy, who was standing behind Dora and Anna moved spontaneously to stand between him and Dora.

"If you don't move now, we all are going to die. You know best you can't fly with this thing amidst this heated battle," James said, directing his speech towards Dora, as he clenched his fist and pointed it towards the outside of the ongoing battle. Dora kept her silence for a moment when Dizy said with disrespect:

"Move your little body away from here, or else"

"Or else what?" Rigo replied this time on behalf of James. The situation was getting more tense, as Dizy was about to act against James.

"Dizy stop, I will let him drive this cruiser," Dora firm voice came abruptly to put an end to this entire quarrel. Dizy turned sharply looking at her with doubt while Dora added:

"You all know we don't have our best pilot with us, so if he can really fly this thing better than I do, then it's not a bad idea to let him take the wheel."

Dizy sighed as Dora moved from her seat, but Anna didn't. Dizy glared at James as she said sarcastically:

"Show us your magic professional pilot."

"Oh, you watch and learn from me then."

Surprisingly, the one who moved wasn't James, but his man, Rigo, who said those words arrogantly and moved to sit on the seat replacing Dora, who looked at James with strange looks.

"Don't eye me like this, I didn't fly a cruiser in my life except for one time only," James said as he raised both hands in the air showing a helpless move.

"If so, then why did you ask me to stop flying this cruiser?" Dora asked with a serious tone, as her eyes shone with strange light, a light of anger.

"I can't do it, but my man here can do it better than you," James replied casually as he didn't care about her reaction.

"This droid can fly the cruiser better than me?" Dora exclaimed in doubt, "Are you out of your mind? He is a droid, a helper in battles maybe, but not a space flier!"

"Believe me, he will fly it better than you. Just watch and learn, as you might increase your abilities by a notch," James replied as he totally ignored her. He was concerning with the outside battle, so he asked motioning towards the outside:

"What happened here? When did this battle rage up?"

Dizy was about to reprimand him as usual, but she was stopped by a hand gesture from Dora, who explained:

"I don't know, I just came out from that fog and found this battle going on like this. Unfortunately, the place where we exited was in the heart of the rebel fleet, so we are in the heart of this battle."

James looked to the distant endless space that was filled now with different types and models of spaceships.

"That Immortal plot has started, we need to find our own ship fast and find that device before anything bad happens," James said, then he looked towards Rigo, "drive us away from here first, and start scanning the surroundings for Dora's ship."

"Affirmative, but what is the shape and model of that ship?" he asked.

James turned to Dora who replied:

"It's a large space cruiser, with a fiery logo on its main body, the drawing of a phoenix."

"Oh, that's catchy, search for it Rigo, I have a feeling we will find it rapidly," James said. Dora just sighed as she knew James was trying to make fun of her, but she didn't care. She stood on the side watching Rigo moving her little cruiser with great skill.

She realized that James wasn't overpraising him, Rigo was really an excellent flier. That wasn't her own feeling alone, but the other two girls here were astonished by Rigo's timely reactions and precise decisions.

Since Rigo took the lead, there was not a single hit on the ship, which was an obvious evidence of his abilities.

"How did you find that droid?" Dora couldn't take it anymore, as her curiosity was intense, so she broke the silence by whispering to James.

"Are you interested in him?" James asked with a sneer. Dora knew James was joking with her, but she replied nonetheless:

"Who isn't? Who wouldn't want someone like him, a loyal droid that can make wise calls and drive space cruisers this good?"

James' smile was so wide as it even masked his own face, as he said:

"Yes, and he is way better than that, but I can't tell you his origins, unless"
