Chapter 17: Dora, The Bloody Princess of The Resistence

On another side of this planet, three small cruisers landed over a remote destroyed place which once was a very prosperous advanced mighty city. The three small cruisers weren't the only one present here, as there were also more than a dozen of them, all standing still on the ground with their engines running.

"What took you so long?" A strong male voice came from behind some ruins attracting the attention of the incoming group of rebels that James just met.

The leader of this small group was that ferocious girl, 18 years old, known by the name of Doratokal , shortened from her close circles to Dora, more famous with the nickname that stuck to her like a glue, the bloody princess of the rebels.

"It's just a few minutes Edwardo, why do you seem this nervous?"

Edwardo was in his thirtieth, but he looked so young under the effects of some technological drugs. He was very interested in his style, as he wore a very fancy cape covering every inch of his back, shoulders, and even his head.

"I'm not nervous, I'm only worried about you, you know how much I care about you."

"Lies, we don't have anything like this between us," Dora said as she stood against this man, who was surrounded by over 50 men of his own. Edwardo looked in a fake sad look while saying:

"Don't hurt my feelings like this, I like you."

"And I don't, so it's one sided shitty love or fantasy or a lie from you. Stop fooling around and let's start doing business," Dora said aggressively while she was also surrounded by 5 of her trusted aides.

"You only brought 5 of your men here? Aren't you afraid I hijacked you?"

"Who? You? You can't even hurt a butterfly. Stop fooling around or else you will see only my back leaving here," Dora said threatening. Edwardo kept the fooling playboy look till Dora was about to turn to leave, when he said:

"Wait, let's talk about business. I don't know why you are always this tense; you can just be as nice as any girl in this whole universe."

"If you want to still be able to play with girls after you leave here then stop irritating and wasting my time," Dora said while her eyes were locking somewhere in his body. Her vicious look made his body shiver involuntary, so he hurried to say:

"I brought what you asked for, have you brought the price we agreed upon?"

Dora didn't speak as she raised her right hand high in the air. Two of her followers moved forward carrying a heavy looking metal black box which they landed between Dora and Edwardo.

"Is this enough?" Dora said while she was playing with her small curved dagger. Edwardo's eyes got attached to that dagger as he felt another shiver in his body. The famous bloody dagger of this crazy princess was directly in front of him.

He knew he couldn't underestimate this small dagger, as it only needed a whim from Dora and he found himself dead. He looked at the box while motioned to some of his men who opened it.

Once his eyes sat on the contents of this box, he lost any feeling of fear from Dora, as he felt great happiness, the happiness of a greedy man when he got himself a fortune.

"Ahem, tell me, are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied?" Edwardo looked at her like crazy as he laughed in a weird way, "I'm more than satisfied, why don't you come to spend the night with me and this would turn to be my best night ever."

Dora ignored his comment as she asked seriously:

"Where is your share of the bargain?"

"Well…" He then straightened up as he looked as serious as her, "You know, I thought of something, as you brought only these men of yours with you, why should I stick to this deal?"

Dora's features didn't show fear or hesitation, but strangely it became more happy and relaxes as she said calmly:

"And what would this benefit any of us? You know who I am and who I work for, so if you touched a single hair of me, then it's your life that you are playing with here."

"But I will get a night with you, and you know what? This is really worth the risk, especially," Edwardo then moved to stand behind his men as he continued, "When you came here without notifying anyone of your people. A sweet princess like you has many enemies in the galaxy, and no one knew about our deal here, so what would you do if you were in my place?"

Edwardo was now standing tens of meters away from here, very close to his line of small cruisers which were ready to open fire with a flicker of his hands. In front of him, 50 armed well trained men stood between him and Dora with her little gang.

He waited to see the look of surprise from this bloody princess, he even imagined her trying to beg him to let her leave here with her life, instead, he was only met with a mocking look, a sneer, followed by a laugh, a laugh that made his body shiver for the third time without knowing why.

"I have to say I do totally agree with you, Edwardo."

These words were said from her when she suddenly vanished. Edwardo looked in confidence towards the place where she was just standing as he said:

"Do you think I came here unprepared? Unleash the electric shock wave cannons, let her weird skill of her be crippled and she would be like a lone frightened rat, hahahaha."

His laughs were very loud and wild, as he raised his both hands like he was in a playground, not a battlefield. He looked towards the front as he knew Dora was still there listening to his threat, which wasn't a threat as his cruisers opened their hatches and special types of cannons emerged from these openings.

These were special ordered cannons with one specific function of their missiles, they could generate a high voltage wave of an old lost form of energy called electricity.

This pulse wave was the only weapon he and the people he answered to found as a solution to deal with Dora. Dora wasn't just like any other enemy he had fought before, as her superiority didn't come from her training nor gear, not even from her huge organization that she worked for.

Her lethal card was a gifted ability she was born with, the ability to disappear and move in shadows unseen to kill her enemies. Edwardo didn't believe in fairy tales, but he knew Dora wasn't one of them, she was real. He glimpsed towards the openings of these cannons which he paid a fortune to get them, and he smiled.

He won, even if this arrogant girl thought she could take out all his small army, he wouldn't mind paying all of them as a price to get her head, a head that was worth times over the fortune that lay in front of him now.

"Attack that area and don't leave an inch."

He gave this order when he saw two of his men already drown on their blood on the ground. He didn't see the attack of Dora, but he knew she would be paralyzed once the cannons fired.

So, he stopped watching the battle as he watched the openings of these cannons get flashy with that silver white blue light of this rudimentary form of energy.

"What the hell?! Sto…"

He couldn't continue his words, as these cannons changed direction in a sharp move to be directed towards the place of his men. He didn't care about his men, he only cared about himself, as he was also targeted by the cannons he himself bought.

He couldn't finish his words when the cannons blasted their content all over him and his men, to scream in pain as he felt like a million needles puncturing every inch of his body.

The pain was really horrible, but the betrayal he got from his men in the cruisers was more painful. His last moments in his life passed by while screaming without knowing the truth… without knowing how he died.

He didn't die under the betrayal of his men, he died by the plot of Dora, as he wasn't the smartest one here… he was the foolest.
