Chapter 10
Kaydos was sitting on the throne in the royal command center showing off the power he just took over after years of planning. He managed by lying and mean ways to create enemies out of Rad’s men and soldiers, and who was confirmed to be still loyal to Rad whether got killed or locked up.
A soldier came to Kaydos with word of the arrival of phoenix kingdom king.
“Let him in” said Kaydos.
Phoenix king walked in and his soldiers with him pulling trollies full of presents of thanks and grateful to Kaydos.
“Welcome aboard Manod” Kaydos stood on his feet especially to greet him.
“Well done Kaydos…well done.” said Manod with a smile he tried to hide it.
Phoenix kingdom had no any competitors in the galaxy where it came from which is known to people on earth by the name of Andromeda, the biggest competitor to them was Terra kingdom in the galaxy which known by the name of Milky Way which controls the half of the galaxy in direct way and the other half works for them without even know.
Manod was nearly two meters tall with muscular yet lean body and with white long hair that crowned an old king with vast experience and long fighting history.
“It’s time now for the both kingdoms to become one” said Kaydos with a big smile on face.
“I want to see Rad” said Manod.
Kaydos and Manod went accompanied by the guards to the cell where Rad was locked up.
When they arrived to the long white corridor, Manod remembered the day he was in this place.
“This damn place has never changed, huh?” Manod thought as he was examining the white soft walls of the prison, Soft as a snake skin.
Manod remembered the day he came here for not giving the half of their profits to Rad’s father; king Choddok, which caused a war between the civilizations led by the prince Rad who was not as powerful as he is now. Despite that Rad eventually managed to defeat Manod and his men after 5 years of bitter battles. Manod and his men received 500 years sentence in this very prison that he looks at right now.
“I haven’t done anything wrong, I only wanted to help my people” Manod felt injustice, as he was repeating this words all the time in the prison willing to get his revenge by any means.
The civilization Manod belonged to was like locusts, they invade a planet and use up all the resources of the invaded planet until they consume all the resources of this planet and so on until Terra kingdom finally putted an end to this.
When Manod was finally released from the prison then he ran away to Andromeda with a fake ID to set off a fresh start. Andromeda unlike the Milky Way had no a strong superpower like Terra who was controlling the Milky Way galaxy and most of their inhabitants are weak and too peaceful. And there in Andromeda he invaded a whole planet with the help of some mercenaries who he promised them to give them money and power before he killed them all and took the inhabitants as slaves to him and gain total control over the resources of the planet.
After that, his invasions continued and his fighting abilities increased also during the battles and he learned how to sucking the stars energy to gain power that rivaled Rad’s power. Therefore he became a power that is respected and freighted by everyone in the galaxy and his allies.
Rad felt an energy flow. “Is that Manod?” Rad thought before he saw the answer by himself, Kaydos and Manod are standing before the cell with a smile on their faces. They exchanged looks before Kaydos broke the silence: hello Rad.
Rad didn’t answer Kaydos’s greet, he attacked him instead with a solar bullet but the cell’s window which was made of energy protected Kaydos from bieng turned to dust.
“You will never change Rad, huh? You never give up…but I think this time you should do” said Manod.
Rad looked at Manod with a dead eyes before he said: listen senseless…I will get out of here and when I do I will not kill you but I will make you suffer…slowly.
Manod’s legs were shaking in fear despite he tried to hide it but it was obvious to Rad that Manod has some fears.
Manod pulled himself together and said: listen Rad, every person is loyal to you is now either got killed or thrown in this place, so you don’t have any allies here. Because of that we need you to tell your people that you will give up power to Kaydos.
Rad just snapped and fired hundreds of solar balls with his hands at the window but it was useless, the window was designed to take such strikes.
“Don’t tire yourself Rad, you don’t have but one option and I think you know what that option is” said Kaydos before he and Manod left, leaving Rad desperate.
