Chapter 46

"Now we got the prideous arachs out of the way, can you guys now tell us what we need to know?" John said, after he asked the current council to go to the surface than in the elevated room

They were now at the ground, where the council was surrounded by john and the girls. Where the octoguy was a female, avian was a male, reptilian was a male, fishman was a male, and the frogger was a female.

"What do you need to know?" The octoguy said

"The current status of each of your planets." Beth said

"We would like to venture towards those planets and set things right, by bringing balance to the universe." Aya said

"And just exterminate some bugs if possible." Silk said with a fist bump

"W-we cant allow that! That goes against all ethics placed by the council!" The Avian said

"Maybe, but in order to set things right, we need to do this." Claire said

"Just think about all those other souls which were sacrificed just to satisfy their own pride." Alex said

"What do you mean about pride? What is pride?" The fishman said

"Pride is the state of emotion or personality, that enables you to be too confident about yourself when you have all that power with you. Which is what the arachs are all doing." Frey said

"I see. I get your point, but we have placed those laws--" the frogger said before being cut

"What is law without order? When no one actually dares to oppose their authority, even if they are on the wrong side of the law." John said

"Also when they attempted to destroy our planet many times now." Beth said as she clad flames around her

"Calm down beth, we are here to gather info remember?" John said as the girls agree, before beth calmed down

And due to her actions, the aliens were now afraid again.

"Anyways, a lot has happened between our race and the arachs, that they need to be extinguished once and for all." Aya said

"And when all we want is peace, while they want us enslaved or killed, like all other species they might have enslaved." Alex said

"I heard about the arachs always having slaves in their planet, so it might be possible." The reptilian said

"And they are always venturing through the stars, searching for any signs of life, but never imagined it would be like this." The octoguy said as the other council members agree

"Yes, true indeed. Which is why, after going towards each of your planets, we are gonna free your planets from the arachs." John said

"Alright, we will provide you with the information you need. But please do abide with our laws in dealing with our people." The octoguy said as the others agree

"Yes, we will. But depending on the situation, we might be forced to make the decision." John said as they all agree

"Thats fine with us. Well, our planets are all good--" the octoguy said before being cut off

"Planet urd is in trouble! A tyrant now rules there!" The fishman suddenly said

"What are you doing?!" The octoguy said as she chased the running fishman, as the fishman runs towards the back of john

"Stay back, as he is also saying important information. Or else I will have to kill you." John said, threatening the octoguy with his high voltage hand

"Dont just trust that traitor! Im definitely not guilty!" The octoguy said

"Well, you are one of wives of a traitor after all." The reptilian said

"You! shut it!" The octoguy said before she was shot by a low voltage stun at her leg by john

"Please, do continue." John said as the octoguy was struggling to get up

"Their planet, planet urd, is now currently under control by a tyrant named troj. Troj was appointed by the arachs, following what the humans did. Also, making all the males become soldiers, while he claims all the females as his own." The avian said

"It is said that the human named johnny storm appointed the leader of the octoguys that are residing on their planet." The fishman said

"I am johnny storm. You guys already heard me when I introduced myself right?" John said

"You are?! If so, that would be great! As you see, im currently an anti blub in secret, and hes currently the one who is ruling the planet right now." The frogger said

"Whose blub?" John and the girls said

"Blub is also a frogger, which is a genius at everything he does. He can do almost anything, that even I have to say he might be fit as ruler. If it were not his personality." The frogger said

"Hmm.. got it. We will also visit your planet, right after we visit urd, and set things straight." John said

"Thank you, o great johnny storm." The frogger said

"Ughh.. your army wont be able to win against our armada!" The octoguy struggles to say

"Keep down." John said before he fired another low voltage stun at her

"Anyways, now that we got all the info we need, shall we head back?" Beth said as john and the girls agree

"Please also note that we will be staying for a bit to resupply. And while that is happening, I leave the current leaders of your races with you, the council, to discuss further on what you will decide on the leadership of your own races." John said as the council agrees

After that, they strapped themselves into the platform once more, and flew back towards the hercules ship where they explained everything to the captain and the other alien leaders at the bridge.

"So the froggers also have their own problems." Troy said

"Yes. According to frogger history, they govern through a monarchial system." Hormus said

"I have also heard rumors before, that there is a frogger that even the last king was afraid of." Pixie said

"Now that that king is gone, because of the last war with the council, there may be a battle in that planet for who will take place as the next king." Ikit, the reptilian leader said

"Yes, it may probably be best to leave that planet alone." Anut, the fishman leader said

"I get your points, but its an official request from the current frogger representative. So in order to know whats really happening in that planet, we may have to go there too." John said

"Hahh.. im afraid to go there." Ikit said

"Oh? The great ikit said that hes afraid of them?" Troy said teasingly

"Its not just him, all of us are." Anut said as hormus and pixie agrees

"Why is that?" Frey said

"Let me give you a rundown on the summary of each species culture. Octoguys are from planet urd, which is a big planet with mostly water, thus they live mainly on water even though they can breathe air. So their culture is mainly based, in human terms, simple living and survival. Cause based on the data the previous octoguy leader gave to us, there are also big sea creatures in your planet." John said

"Yes, thats correct. Though we have built our cities on land, we also have floating cities as well." Hormus said

"Then there are the avians, living in the planet aria, where there is more wind in the planet as there are both land and water. Its a medium sized planet, just like earth, which has lots of winged creatures than there are fish. Thus avians mainly eat the meat they hunt, so they still have simple living and survival. Their technology is based on a fusion of what we call, primal and over technology." John said

"Yup, though we also eat a bit if fish too." Pixie said

"Then there are the reptilians, living in planet kagid, which is a big planet with equal amounts of air, land, and water. Based on the data, their animals are like dinasaurs to us, which is why they are mainly a race filled with the best hunters in the universe maybe. But cause of their way of life and the creatures living in it, even if they populate very fast, there isnt also that many reptilians that can survive in that planet. In short, its a very difficult planet to live in." John said

"You got that right. After living on earth, I even thought that humans all have it easy." Ikit said

"Then there are the fishmen, living in a big planet named akoa, which has some amount of shallow waters and mostly deep waters. Due to shallow waters, they were able to breathe air and walk, thus there is land buried at the bottom of those oceans. And they have both underwater cities and above surface cities as well. Though that may be the case, they also have some big and nasty underwater creatures, which makes living there a bit difficult." John said

"Correct. Though we may also be a weak species like humans, even though we breed faster, living on that planet proves to be very difficult for us." Anut said

"Then there are the arachs, living in the planet swol, which is a group of 9 planets which are all mostly land. Even though there is limited water and enough air for everyone. What makes this race a menace is their pride, as they have both a monarchial and a slave system. So every race aside from them are seen as inferior to them, and thus making them slaves due to their nature and mindset. And I bet living there is like a living hell, rather than having a good life." John said

"Yes, correct again. And they are also the first ones to ever find us other races. Just like humans, most were not ready to leave the planet, and even have some wars with them. So which is why each of our races banded up and formed the council, which also consisted of them." Hormus said

"If they are a menace, why didnt you guys just eliminate them?" Silk said

"Cause even though the arachs have the same production rate as octoguys, they also have slaves to do their work. Which is why they are also feared, aside from the froggers." Ikit said

"And the froggers are a bit of a mystery, even though they just eat everything they could find. Cause in their planet, planet thotski, cannibalism is also allowed as long as its for the survival of the fittest." Pixie said

"Its only not that long that they also had a monarchial system, which unifies all of them in their big planet." Anut said

"From what I recall, they also have massive creatures in their planet right?" Beth said

"Yes. Creatures massive enough that even they cant eat them, unless if someone else hunted those creatures for them." Hormus said

"Plus the arachs hate them, since they basically eat almost everything." Pixie said

"In any case, we must report all this back at earth." Troy said, dismissing the meeting

"Alright guys, its time for us to do our jobs now. So after we make repairs to the hercules fleet, we first go to urd to set things right." John said

"If there would be a fight?" Aya said

"Then we fight. If not, then its even more alright." Ikit said as john agrees

"Anyways, this meeting is dismissed for now. Lets meet up again once the repairs are over, to know what you guys have discussed over there." John said as the alien leaders agree

After that, the alien leaders go towards the council building to discuss on things, while john and the girls remain in the hercules ship for repairs, resupply, and more.
