While Null was trying to get used to the noise inside his head. Outside the ship, two large portals had formed one white the other blue. The Watcher ship arrived from the white portal threw up a large interference and stealth field. To the Martians, it was a flash of bright light and then nothing.
Out of the blue portal came a reflective metallic ship that looked like a high tech version of an Ironclad naval ship.
Null fighting his headache started to channel some energy from the suit into Infy to wake him up.
"Infy, I think we did bad, I need your help"
"ahhh, what that noise and what going on?" Infy was taking a bit of time to become climatised to current situations.
"Null and Infinity, Do not say a word and do not fight back. I will handle this" The Watcher had contacted them via the mental link instead of the communication device. That meant that he had to be close to them.
"we're so very sorry Zero, we don't know what happened, one minute we were escaping and the next an incredible rage took over and then we just acted" explained Infy.
"We will talk about this later, but right now we will have to deal current situation"
The boys were teleported to another room and when they looked around they saw they were surrounded by non-humans but also in the room was Zero, Lisa and the two rescued students. Lisa ran up to her son.
"Sorry Lisa, it seems we didn't plan for everything, we hope he is ok" Infy struggled to get the sentence out over the mental link as he was struggling to concentrate due to the voice of the universe being so loud out of harmony.
Meanwhile, The Watcher was trying to sort out the mess.
"Welcome, let me introduce myself Tier 3, The Watcher, Order of Angels, First Sphere" The Watcher offered up the typical galactic introduction. Race ranking, name, race name, position. This welcome was designed so those of the higher tiers received the respect they believed they deserved.
"Welcome, Tier 5, Varr Anrak, Dwarven Kingdom, Ranger Clan". Varr never expected to run into a being from a higher race here. He had been sent here to investigate the detected use of fields to see if humans were ready to be integrated into galactic society.
"So am I to assume it was you that was using field magic?" He knew it wasn't, as they had sensed the residual energy on the child from the small ship.
"No, as I'm sure you were already aware of, but before continuing I think we should move away from the prying eyes. Please let us head to these coordinates and I will set our ships to follow" The Watcher knew his request couldn't be denied as he was of a higher rank but he was being polite.
A new gateway opened up and the three ships were now outside the solar system on the extreme edge of the Kuiper belt. On board the dwarven ship a smaller portal also opened and a small metal ball flew out of it. The ball rapidly started to change shape and took the shape of a small humanoid. The visitor quickly introduced themselves.
"Tier 2, unit7321, Valtaui Collective, Enforcer" they were able to transmit the message into everyone mind without speaking. Unit7321 continued. "I received a request from the council about a code 0 breach and have come to investigate."
Varr had no idea what a code 0 breach was, but for them to send an enforcer was a worrying sign. The Watcher knew that a code 0 breach was considered a galaxy disturbing event, and he could not figure out what that could be.
Let see what do we have." The Valtaui pointed his hand at each person to scan them. He stopped when he reached Null and started to walk forward. 'these scans don't make sense. He was the one who used to the fields but there is no Zallium on him, and there seems to be two life forms in the body. I will have to get a better scan' he thought to himself.
Each step he took towards Null the more pain Null started to feel, by the time the Valtaui was within 3 metres he was prone on the ground. As unit7321 kept approaching Null swung out his arm.
"MAKE IT STOP!" Null was mentally shouting hoping the strange alien could hear him. As the alien approached him the noise in his head was getting louder and louder. In a last-ditch attempt, he swung his arm out hoping the alien would get the message but instead the alien just fell to pieces.
Multiple actions happened at that moment, Null Jump backward, The Watcher floated in front of Null and all the dwarves pointed their weapons at Null. Events had taken a drastic turn. Then the Valtaui suddenly rebuilt himself. "It seems we have an anomaly here. He somehow cancelled all my field technology. Go get the Field damping restraints" said unit7321 while pointing at one of the dwarfs.
The Watcher now knew why they sent an enforcer. The field sensors must have been able to detect the unique methods of field manipulation that Infinity and Null can use. They knew that there was going to be a sacrifice required if the humans were going to escape this situation with their lives.
The Valtaui is an AI collective that shares a hive mind. Their body is made up of nanites that are connected to the unit core via advanced field manipulation. Null and Infy had somehow cancelled that link with a wave of a hand.
This should not have been possible normally the higher races field technology was more immune to interference and would normally require a great deal of power to disperse.
The dwarf returned with a small belt that had 10 crystals welded to it.
"Let me talk to him, I will make sure he wears it without causing problems. He is very young and this must be overwhelming" asked The Watcher. The Watcher approached the boys and could sense that Null was crying but he wasn't making a noise. The mental link was different, Null was sobbing and just repeating "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it".
The Watcher decided to try his luck with infinity. "Infinity we have to let them place that belt on you. It won't hurt but it will restrict both of you from using the fields." Infy was not listening. His sensors were being attacked from multiple fronts. There was too much energy in the room everywhere was bright and the sounds were too loud. Seeing this The watcher didn't know what to do.
Lisa was extremely confused, she was on a strange spaceship, surrounded by weird aliens and other than that one sentence from the small shapeshifting alien she couldn't understand anything. When she saw Null next to the wall crying she left her son and ran over to him.
"It going to be ok, come here Null" as she reached for Null he slowly looked at her with his wide-open eyes full of tears. She instantly pulled him in for a hug. 'we do forget how young he is.'
"Lisa, we need to get that band the dwarf is holding onto Null. Do you think you can help us"
Lisa took the band off of the dwarf and wrapped it around one of Nulls wrists where it quickly fused together. Null quickly calmed down and fell asleep.
"Is it supposed to do that?" Lisa asked The Watcher.
"No, it is supposed to stop him from using some of his powers. I think he was just overwhelmed" replied The Watcher.
"Angel I believe you and I have to talk. I am assuming you had a hand in creating that dangerous anomaly." The Valtaui then turned to Varr "Take the humans to be checked out. You might need to get a runemagi to look at the young female as there is something wrong with her"
Unit7321 and The Watcher had a long discussion, The Watcher had to answer his questions as he was from a higher tier race. It was decided that The Watcher and Valtaui would return to the council to explain the situation. The current Dwarf ship was ordered to replace The Watcher in monitoring the humans. While all those humans currently on board were not to leave until the council had decided on its action.
