Chapter 38

"How was my interview?" Beth said

They were all now inside the space vehicle for VIPs on manila international airport, to fly towards the octoguy ships, which was parked at the storm range space station. John and the girls were now wearing tight suits for space, based on the design made for both octoguys and avians.

"Very nice." Silk said as john and the girls agree

"Well, I also think you should have kept the bullying issue, but its as you said really. Cant deny the fact that more children are being bullied or will be bullies cause of their powers or what their parents feed to their children." Aya said

And as the girls were chatting in the back seat, along with pixie, john was on the front with hormus.

"So, how is the quantum communications device coming along hormus?" John said

"I believe its almost ready. Its really a good thing that the human race was almost ready for space travel and communications, since we have a common theory on what you call quantum entanglement, work has been easier to build the device." Hormus said

"Thats good. Its also a good thing that the device was built on the moon right? Where there are no interference." John said

"Yes. Even though we have already started plans on colonizing mars, there are still no communications device available. So if the council will attack again, there wont be anyone coming to save them on mars." Hormus said

"True indeed. But with the quantum comm device, we can finally test and try to communicate towards your home planet." John said as hormus agreed

"Not just mine, but also the avians." Hormus said as john agrees. "But at this span of time, im afraid for the worst that had already happened."

"We may think for the worst to happen, but we must not lose hope just yet. After all, you will never know what the future holds, which is why im also here just in case." John said with a smile

"Yes, you have never failed to keep your promises after all." Hormus said

"We have arrived at storm range." The driver said

As they arrived at the space station, there were already some people, where all 3 races were present even though the humans there were all embassadors from each country.

"Greetings johnny storm and party, and welcome to the storm range." A female avian greeted them after they got off the ship

"We all have been waiting for you johnny storm! Please join us in toasting for the comp--" an embassador said with a glass of wine on his hand, before he was interrupted

"Its an honor and all, but we might have some pressing matters ahead. We have already made them wait, and now its time to call their home worlds." John said, gently passing through the ambassador

"Thank you johnny storm." Both octoguys and avians said as the humans were all confused

"Alright, now bring the quantum comm device to life!" John said

"Yes sir!" The octoguy in charge of the controls said before running towards the control panel

"Do you think there will be some left on our planet?" Hormus said as all people have eyes on him while there was background noise from the transmission

"Probably, just have faith for now. If this doesnt work this time, there is always next time. Until maybe some humans would decide to go to space themselves." John said, bringing only more worry to the 2 alien races

"Everyone, just hope the people of both races are still alright out there." Poxie said

"Surely guys, the council wouldnt just attack other species home planets for no reason at all right?" An ambassador said

"They will, knowing what the arachs are capable of." Hormus said

"Please stop measuring other alien species to your standards mr ambassador, thats what most humans would always do, and thats also entirely why aliens mostly wouldnt come to humans in the first place." John said as the ambassador was feeling pushed back

"What about you? You are still human!" The ambassador said

"Yes, I am, what of it? Also, humans always use conventional words when it suit us, when reality is actually otherwise." John said, as the ambassador was tongue tied

"Sir, we are not receiving anything from aria, the avians planet." The octoguy operator said as john diverts attention to the transmission

"Try urd, your planet." John said

"I believe aria is somewhere on the scorpius constellation, while urd is on the orion. Am I right?" Beth said as the girls also stood beside john

"Yes, thats right. I just hope planet urd is still fine." John said, a bit happy for the girls

"We got someone!" The octoguy operator said

"Put it on speaker, and you try to ask if they are all ok." John said as the operator agrees

After a minute of listening, there was no transmission yet again, which left the 2 alien races even more worried.

"The situation is indeed dire for them." An ambassador said, until..

"Hello! Can you read me?!" A voice spoke in octoguy language, which then sparked some hope

"Is everything there alright?" The operator said in their language

"Help.. troj.. leader.. tyrant.. help!.." the voice said in octoguy language as that was all that they could hear, before it went silent

"Did you catch that?!" Silk said, as everybody was silent

"Yes, and what should--" the operator said before being cut off

"Greetings inferiors, I did not think you would be capable of making a communications device that can reach here. You inferiors are really full of surprises, just like our defeat the last time." Widow said on the comms

"What should we do now leader?" The operator said

"Give me the mic for a sec." Hormus said before the mic was given to him. "What the hell did you do to my people widow?!"

"Oh, nothing really. I just copied what johnny storm did and selected a capable leader from your people." Widow said with a slight laugh

"Knowing you and your kind, you just wanted to make all species your slaves!" Hormus said out of anger

"Whatever the fact may be, your people has now a true leader, just be glad about it." Widow said

"What--" hormus said before john stopped him

"Whatever widow is planning, it will only backfire on her. Maybe not today, not soon, but one day. And knowing your species, you maybe able to see it happen." John said with a smile

"Ha! How would you know?" Widow said

"Cause I have the spirits, or energy beings, to tell me what might have happened there. Though not entirely, well, you get my point. These guys are cryptic sometimes." John said

"Huh? What do you mean by energy beings? Are you being dumb? Anyways, you better prepare there for your defeat, cause im coming for you all." Widow said before she was about to cut comms. "Oh yeah, thanks for the information avians, though I wont guarantee of your race will still live or not. If your race would only serve me that is." She said with an evil laugh

"What?! This isnt what you told me!" An avian guard suddenly said

"Arrest that avian!" Hormus said as the other guards captured the spy

"Ha! Already too late. I know everything in your planet now, including your defences." Widow said

"Im so sorry about this john, for my people. I know--" pixie said to john when he interrupted her

"I know hes only doing this to save your kind, so no worries. Though they now may have some kind of advantage, it wont change our stand against them." John said

"Yeah! There are a number of ways we can manage against them after all." An ambassador said as they all were united in thought, to defeat the council

"Enjoy everything while you can." Widow said as she ended the transmission
