Chapter 35:
The Quantum Reactor
"Good work john! Now whats left is to make peace with the council if possible." Hillary said
They were now at a meeting again, and this time, hormus and pixie are sitting beside john with their own cam and monitor. It was now the second day since the coup, where dueta was able to call for an emergency meeting within the day.
"But what are the new alien leaders doing in the meeting?" N korea leader said
"We want to be here, beside johnny storm." Pixie said
"And we must hear what his leaders must decide, or else it will be the end for all of our 3 races." Hormus said as it put pressure in all the world leaders
"I say we must fight, as I also trust what john said. Besides being one of my people, he has never failed to save this world, and maybe never will." Dueta said as both aliens agree
"If they are supporting him like that, and with the present situation, just how could we ever say no? But how do you propose we attack?" Chinese president said
"Yeah, when they dont even make us finish with our own technological development." UK PM said
"And you cant make mutants out of the aliens too right? So in the end, its all still humanity that will fight this war mostly." German president said
"No matter how hard the war is, both our species will help." Hormus said as pixie agrees
"How truly cute." The arach said as the new council hijacks johns phone
"What do you want widow?" Hormus said after john got his phone out
"So a new leader for the octoguys and avians has been chosen, but that wont change anything at all." Widow said
"Just tell us what you want widow." John said
"Your kind dont have enough authority to call my name! You inferiors!--" Widow said before pixie interrupts
"Just get on with it widow." Pixie said
"As you can see, the new council have already taken over command of all the armies here, and ready to attack at any time. At my command. Just what do you intend to do now? Grouping yourselves with those inferiors." Widow said
"Dont just underestimate us widow, we wont go down that easy." Pixie said
"Oh? Im excited to know how. Since we will be there when it becomes a failure." Widow said with an evil laugh, as both hormus and pixie contains their anger
"Lets all give up this meeting now, and fight normally the way humans really fight wars for generations." John said, where it surprised everyone
"Hah! Just how do you intend to win against the council, you inferiors." Widow said, mockingly
"We use our brains and our wits to defeat the enemy, but first things first." John said before he faced hormus. "Can you take me to them for now?" He said as he stood and turned his phone off
"What?!" The world leaders said as they now try to convince him from going, while hormus agrees and also stood
"Why the sudden change in tactics john?" Dueta said as john and both aliens were gonna go outside
"You guys have less than a month maybe, to prepare. While we take the battle to them, thats the only way for now." John said before he stopped at the door
"Alright, do what you must. I will help convince everyone to be ready by then, or else our country will be the only ones who will go to you." Dueta said
As john agrees, he finally stepped out with both aliens, and towards the ship that was waiting outside.
"President dueta, are you mad? If he goes, we will lose our number 1 defense against them!" Hillary said as the world leaders agree
"Lets all just believe in john, and ready ourselves for battle against them." Dueta said with confidence, as the other world leaders were in distress
Meanwhile, back to john, where hes also getting ready for his part of the battle. Where hes currently at the facility. And as john and the girls are now in their new space suit, courtesy of the octoguys. A tight suit which fits the body of the wearer, a helmet for 30 minutes of air, and a small jetpack for maneuver.
"Bro, you cant just leave!" Jasmin said
"Yeah, not without bringing us along with you!" Beth said as the girls agree
"Hahh.. I mean, who will run the facility instead? And your the first and last line of earths defense now right? Mom and dad doesnt also want you to go too." Jasmin said
"This time, I have no other choice. I must take the girls now and make way for the future of humanity." John said
"But is humanity even worth saving?! Dont go bro.." jasmin said in sadness
"Humanity might not be worth saving a bit, but the possibilities of mankind is almost endless. Which is why I can bet what I have for the future. Not just my future, but everyones futures." John said while assuring jasmin
"Dont worry jasmin, us girls will be with him all the way!" Silk said with a thumbs up
"Hahh.. fine. Go, but make sure you can get back here alright." Jasmin said, almost crying
"I wont say im afraid, and I wont say goodbye either, but I will just say.. I will be back." John said with a smile. "Lets go girls, I will leave the facility in your and our familys hands for now jasmin." He said as he stepped back to walk towards the octoguy ship
With that all done, the ship then flies towards space, where they warped after getting outside the earths exosphere. Where they all were now strapped on their seats when the warp began.
"How is warping done again hormus?" John said
"Warping is done by bending space around the ship. This way, the ship can go faster than light, and without breaking any of your laws of physics and without meeting any resistance when travel." Hormus said
"So you have done your research." John said with a smile
"Yes, most of us already know about your laws of physics, and it coincides with the basics of what we already know so far. Humans have already advanced so far, yet they still stay at the planet and not move to other planets in the system." Hormus
"Thats good to hear. And yes, thats true. One reason for that is religion. Im not saying religion is actually the one at fault, but some of its teachings are just misrepresented by the priests and some people, based on their belief on what those teachings may mean." John said
"So why are you not like the rest of your people?" Hormus said
"Thats cause I have already seen an energy being, or the spirits, and came to a different conclusion than others of my kind that have the same experience." John said
"I see. No wonder your leaders also trust you in your judgement." Hormus said
"Not all though--" john said before the pilot notifies them
"We have arrived!" The pilot said
"How many are the enemy monitoring team?" John said
"Roughly around a hundred thousand battleships! And cant count the rest!"
"And we are how many?" Hormus said
"Only 10 battleships sir."
"The situation is indeed not in our favor. I will leave this one to you for now sir johnny storm." Hormus said
"Got it." John said as he got out of his seatbelt. "Girls, its time."
