Chapter 205: Sky Council

I gathered my will and pressed out, pushing the darkness back slowly; I had made my choice. As I did this, more of the warmth filled me with the strength to augment my own drive to keep fighting for myself and now for her.

I opened my eyes to a strange sight of the robotic face of a Bee, but somehow I knew who it was without a doubt. 

"I wish to follow you to that other place, and I want to stop the False Gods. I will do whatever it takes to get you to that woman; I give you my life in your service, B1," I said to the metal face that was smiling down at me, and then I passed out.

"I didn't see any of that coming," I said with shock after Pendra had gone limp in my arms, and then I looked at Serria, and her NekoBee looked just as surprised.

"Whatever happened inside of there seems to have changed her and strengthened her will. I also have not seen anyone become your subject from there will alone, right? Pendra is one of your subjects?" Serria asked as I signaled for the men to break the prison.

[Name: Pendra]

[Class: Royal Dragonite Guard]

[Gene: Seeker]

"Not only did she become my subject, but she also evolved. She must have had a run-in with A1, but I don't get why B2 never talked about me being B1 before this? This is starting to get more tangled, but I am starting to get a clearer picture. I think that I am the fulcrum, and if I can get to that tear in this reality out in space, I will be able to tip the scales. A1 must know this, and now is trying to get fallen to destroy the world like last time," I said as Tagsig broke the Wax-nade Prison.

"I was the one that Tyler made a deal with, and he was able to create Fallen then, but then Marcus, who was the actual reincarnated hero, stopped me. I still don't know what he did, but it stopped the Ender-Stone I had created. I made it by desecrating a quarter of the world after getting permission from Tyler, the ruler of that part of the world. There was even a fallen hero like Trent, so it was easy to get confused," Granthus explained.

"There is still a lot that we don't know about A1, but I will be dropping out of my QBee Drone. I want you all to make sure that my sister gets back to me safely, and I will send updated coordinates to my drone to rendezvous with the ship as we pass. Thank you all for your hard work, and Granthus for coming back to the light, but now I have other problems to deal with," I said, but then Gamble started talking in a rush, sounding panicked.

"Drop out now, and I will meet you at your chair. Lexia has called the Sky Council on us!" Gamble said, but I didn't know what that meant.

*Poof*

"This is not good; do as he says, you are done here. It means that Lexia has reported us to the Sky Council as an air threat in the lower lands, and they will take this very seriously!" Hilda said in just as much of a rush as Gamble.

I looked at Serria, and She nodded, and I dropped out of the QBee, setting it to autopilot. When I opened my eyes, Messia and Miasma were already offering me hands to get up.

"What happened? I am here now, can't I go talk to her?" I asked as I was helped up, but Gamble came through the Honey Gate at that moment. 

"No, it won't matter. We are unregistered with the Sky Realm, and if they catch us, we will be answering questions for days. Then we will have to go up and register at the Floating City of Eelessia. All will take over two weeks at the very least, and you know what will happen then!" Gamble said while waving his hands in the air.

I looked down at the map, and I could see that the ship was moving and fast. This would be a tremendous pain, but the point Gamble was getting at was that we wouldn't be able to stop the Tellarider or Trent, and that wouldn't do.

"What can we do?" I asked as I sent the ship's trajectory and speeds to my drone.

I had to hope that they would be able to catch up to rendezvous with us, but I had to put all of my concentration.

"This, we run as fast as we can. We aren't going to outrun those ships, and they are going to catch up to us. We can't stop, and I have Pixie out installing a bunch of massive oversized HexSuit models over the entire ship. We will be able to take damage, but this will put us in a bad place with the Sky Folk, but it will also take them to the problem and force them to help us," Gamble said as he tossed his hands around in frustration. 

"Then we will all be jailed, and Trent is still going to get away," I said, shaking my head, but that's when klaxon sirens started to go off, and red lights started blinking everywhere. "Oh great, that always means good news!"

I went and sat back down in my chair and then pulled up a complete map and sighed, wanting to scream instead. 

Five massive Sky Whales were descending down on us, and there were too many smaller ships to count. I moved my view to see the massive battle structures that were on top of each of the whales, but the biggest one had a palace on top of it.

"Please come to a full stop, and allow us to come aboard to take you all into custody. If you do as ordered, we will get this all sorted out, but if you don't, we will be forced to use… bzzzt."
