Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - His Lucky Star

Olroy got home in a hurry and immediatelly rushed to his room and threw everything to the air as he searched for his old chess trophy

behind him, Gilbe had just arrived at the old shack due to his short legs and inability to use ABC in their current decaying state.

Gilbe heard the loud noises coming from inside the shack and sweat dropped.

In the next moment Olroy put his face out the door of the shack with the Silver trophy in hands waving at him.

"Come in!" and he got back inside.

Gilbe nodded and ran towards the entrance and climbed the steps of the door with a bit of struggle as he didn't want the ABCs to assist him while weakened, but they did anyway, as it was their program. By condensing in tinier steps of black metal to make way for him.

Olroy was sit in the middle of the room watching as the ABCs keept fusing and dissipating, making way for the tiny Gilbe toclimb the stairs.

Gilbe climbed the last step and sighed in exhaustion, but he quikly composed himself and ran towards Olroy.

"I am here!" he announced

Olroy nodded and showed him the trophy, placing it on the ground.

Gilbe's eyes went wide at the tropy and his eyes became wet with the relieve that his ABCs didn't had to die.

Gilbe turned to his ABCs and gave them some hand comands.

The ABCs took a moment to take in the orders and went immediatelly to work.

Condensating in dozens of odd shapped balls of black matter with a rougth surface they surrounded the tropy and slowly approached it, and when the first ball touched the tropy, it started to spin, and it's rought surface broke the tropy down, and so did the second, and the third, and so on and on and on, util the whole tropy was covered in black moving dots that broke it's structure apart, and in a way "consumed" it.

Olroy saw this and immediatelly recalled back at the florest when the sphere that had fallen from the skies broke apart and became a cloud of black matter, the ABCs.

"These things are really amazing!"

"Hmph, they are made to be as efficient and convinient as life could be, not only their raw abilities are astonishing, their secondary give them infinite potential. That's a Blue Blood for you!" Gilbe said proundly with arm crossed

Olroy looked at Gilbe in silence.

"Gilbe, i know it may appear annoying, but could you explain?"

"What do you mean annoying? You saved out mother's grand lineage from certain anihilation! I myself couldn't have saved the ABCs, the least i could do for you is sassiate your curiosity! So? What exactly you wanna know?" Gilbe sat a hand at his chin, already recalling a bunch on information he could use to answer Olroy.

"Everything."

Gilbe opened his eyes and looked at Olroy's eyes, they were calm, serious, and deep inside them there was an ardent flame that burned with curiosity and will to learn.

"Okay... I will start from the beggining. But listen closely, this all hurt too much to remember so i am just going to say it once".

.......

Hyasol. Although in recent years they have been known as the lords of the galaxy, they were just a normal species just 2 billion years ago.

But what changed the fate of this species was a little accident, a commet that fell on their mother planet, Nu'lart.

Since 500 years ago this commet's existence was known, but it was though that it would take more than 1 million years for it to reach the plannet, but unnexpectedly, due to the time distortion that happens in space, they didn't realise that 200 years prior, the commet collided with another one, and not only increased in size, but in speed by a thousand fold.

And by the point they did notice it comming, the commet was arriving at fulll speed, then *PUF*

In under 5 days the worry and fear of the collision ended, there was nothing left, as all of them, were completely obliterated by a single commet, no no, that was a whole fucking meteor that hit them. It's raw mass was enough to knock the planet back on their solar sistem, and summed with it's insane speed, there didn't remain a single organic cell that managed to hold together with another one.

Except, for a girl, that surprisingly survived the crash, although with a unstable body and a deformed form, she survived the obliteration of a fucking meteor landing on her planet.

The girl wandered the land of her dead planet, and on her adventure, she devoured the unstable remains of her dead species.

But they weren't alive like her. After the crash everyone was obliterated, that's true, but as time passed the cells of the Hyasols mutated, and, in a kind of way, tried to "force evolution to happen".

The cells by themselves tried to fuse with each other, and in the name of survival, fused together and tried to survive, trying their bests to form something like the multi-celular forms they once were, like they KNEW it was the best way to survive. And with enough time and effort, the cells forced their organisms into the enviroments they were on, instead of waiting for nature's slow and patient natural selection to happen.

The girl herself had noticed this, and hoping to restore her fallen civilization, helped the organisms to evolve the way she could, while consuming the failueres to mantain herself alive.

Time passed, and as the girl helped the species evolve, she noticed something, no matter what path the organisms took to evolve, they would aways end up with looking Hyasol mixed with other creatures. Be a human face on a horse, a screaming rabbit or a clapping fish to a farting tree and a hairy apple.

Creatures like that would never survive in the long run, and the girl knew it, so she decided to intervene. With the Obliteration event, the girl's body wasn't like it was anymore, for the sake of survival, her cells also adapted, and instead of multiplying to fill in the missing parts on the explosion, some of them swolle for a while to buy time for the internal cells to reproduce and recover the body. Some time later the swollen cells cabe back to acting normal, but in that while that the cells were 1000 times bigger than their normal, her brain took control of her body in celular level, meaning that now she could control her, and other's body to celulat level.

And using that power, the girl removed the addicted cells(in the sense that they couldn't do anything new) of the creatures, and replaced them with her own cleanced, neutral cells.

This process was very good for both the girl and the creatures, as with enough time the creatures were able to evolve and stabilished themselves in Nu'lart's destroied enviroment, and the girl was able to reconstruct her old body, using the DNA in the cells she took from them, as a result, the girl became an astonishingle bealtiful woman, with the whole world under under her control, and the creatures became her offspring and slaves, and she comanded them manipulating their bodies that evolved form her cells.

Soon, the organisms developed self awareness, and developed civilisation, and from that point on, the story of the great Hyasols, and their creator and queen, The Grand Mother Ryuka, Started!

Not even a hundred years passed as the hyasols developed sentience and they already started their spacial journey, spreading their strength and influence through out the universe, soon all other creatures accepted the quikly developing Hyasols as absolute.

But who would have known, that the one responsible for their raise, would be the reason for their fall

Ryuka was very wise and smart woman, she was able to learn any subject, fool any person and resolve any puzzle, but that was exacly the problem, she was too confident on her capabilities and became narrow minded. In her head it was fact that her powers were the stronger and absolute form of domination, she was sure that she was the Creator of Universes, The Destroyer of Worlds, The Grand Mother! But, even sunflowers have to know when to look down.

At some point in her adventures through space, Ryuka ran indo another galaxy's empire, and for a unknown reason engaged in battle, battle that, Ryuka one siddedly lost.

The moment o her death, was a realisation, Ryuoka had found out about her abilities 2 billion years ago by accident, and just went with the flow, doing what seemed efficient, so in her years as the Grand Mother, she always aimed her evolutionary goals towards the development of technology, she never worked on organic basis, and just though of organic as the first step to metalic, but with the confront with that unknown enemy, she realised what taking the path of technology meant.

Technology is the path for domination, you search, you reach, you study, you domain. These 4 steps are extremely connected to each other, and must aways be followed in order to make full use of technologies potentiol, as technology's perks are too few, it can domain only the weak, study only the reacheded, and search only the known. In short, it's the path od domination; Of the weak, in front of something stronger, it's bound to lose. And the only reason she was ableto get so far with her impire with the path of technology was due to their fast development, and that left a bitter taste on her mouth.

So, in her last moments, Ryuka muttered her last words for her offspring and her successors. "Mistake.... THis path was a mistake, i have spent my whole life persuing strength, so i aimed for technological advancement, to domain the strong and subdue them, but my path limited me to only dominating the weak, and at most compete with the same level... I never wished for that. Go! Run away, they're gonna chase after you all! And if anyone ever succesfully inherits my will, i shaw give you a piece pof advice: "I grew a tree only thinking of the aple, but i let the trunk grow thin, and the branches weak, when my aple grew i couldn't have it, as a bird flew away with it." Now come! Zenith will be waiting fot yo-" and her comunications were severed as she sucumbed to injury or being finished off. Either way, she most definitelly died that day.

After the Grand Mothers death her offspring panicked, and tried to get back on their feet after their leader's death, but now not only they had this new enemy to deal with, all other civilisations that served under them turned their blades against the Hyasols, and their great kingdom eventually collapsed.

.......

'The Hyasol civilisation had tens of billions, if not Trillions of soldiers and citizens, all over the universe, they all had diferent apearances, names, cultures, and from one planet from another, they had completely diferent appearances, the only thing they had in common, that could clearly diferentiate them from other species, were their shining black metalized skins, so it was very easy to target them, and very quikly reduce their giant population of tens of even trillions, so just 33 individuals, and their most powerful underlings, the "Core Captains"'

Olroy looked over to Gilbe.

'Meaning that this little fella is one of the most wanted criminals in the galaxy...'

Gilbe was sat in seiza(How the japaneze sit) with trembling arms as he tried to hold in tears at the painful memory he just had to recall.

Olroy realised his behavior and quikly stoped staring at him like that "I am sorry for what happened to you." He apologized with a bow.

"Ah, don't worry about that, it's in the past, it's in the past." Gilbe waved his hand in front of his face trying to relieve the situation.

"Okay, now let's get down to bussiness. You just have told me, a complete stranger, the whole story of your life, and how you're not only the commander of maybe a dozen fleets of aliens, but also a intergalatic criminal. I wanted to belive that you did that just because you're a complete idiot, but as your position is of a comander, that has numerous soldiers under him, i can't bring myself to belive that" Olroy stated.

"Haha, very cleaver mister Olroy" Gilbe said with a wry smile.

"This information is valiable, so although i gave you a whole trophy made out of Silver, you're the one in advantage here in this room, so say it, what do you want from me? No, what i can even do for you" Olroy said while shrugging. He was a bit careless in asking the alien creature in front of him about his back ground, as if the story was too dramatic, knowing his personality, he would feel in the position to help the alien if he asked to, Olro didn't care about his life anyway, so even if the request was dangerous, he would probably do it.

"Just let me live here, your residence is very desolate from other people, and that would be advantagious to me, i don't need anything else, just act like i don't exist. But, it would be of great help if you could do a favor or two for me from time to time..."

"Haha, advantage for me, too bad gnome!" Olroy slaped his thigh to cheer that gilbe asked for an extra favor of him, so now, he could finally ask something he has been earing for.

'Gnome?' Gilbe questioned.

"That power, the one your queen had. I wanna learn it" olroy asked blantly.

Gilbe froze for a second, he then gave a little smile, speechless from how Olroy asked for something so powerful so casually.

"...Our Mother's abilities are very powerful, are you sure you wanna give the advantage to me?"

'This isn't a no!!' Olroy cheered internally "That's why i wanted to add something in. I bet your Queen abilities are something kind of lacking, since who creates is the same one who is created by it, so it's potential isn't goin to be so great and can fall in the same path as the Queen's failed one by accident, and since your lider herself told you not to follow that path, you're gonna try your chances and find something new, so, the most perspectives, the better. Also, you sure are tingling to get out of this planet and just beat the shit out of your those other guys, and 2 heads work better than one" Olroy tapped the side of his head once.

"...Your advantage" Gilbe gave a interested smile

Olroy gave a big smile and crossed his legs "I want you to be my first commander. The Queen had the ability to control all the organisms evolved from her cells with her will, be she still had 33 people just to control people? With her mental capabilities she alone counted as 100 of you guys herself! There sure is a reason for that. And, i can take advantage that you're here anyway, and ask guidance in how to create, like, i am sure you know a thing or two about how to create"

"Fu fu fu" Gilbe laughed in happiness 'Maybe... Juste maybe... My revenge may come far earlier than expected.... Maybe i have fallen into a lucky star!' he though "My advantage then? So let's go with that, don't interact, nor treat others of your species as equals, i know this may be hard, and may sound strange, but as you start creating, "normal" people start to fear you, their nature can feel the presence of a creator, and they fear that, they may try to kill you as self defense. And losing someone that's helping me achive my goal doesn't sit well with me"

"Hehe, what a turn of events, they used to not treat me as equals, and now i am the standing higher? Sure!!" Olroy rolled his eyes, recalling the moments he was dispised and hated on.

"but i have to ask..... What is it that you want by becoming a creator...? I mean, sure you can build an army, or even take over this planet to reing over it, and clearly, if my revenge is succesfull, i will reward you handsomely, but... isn't the risk too great...?"

"Hm? Oh, you noticed that? Yeah, i don't really have a reason to join you, it's just that....." Olroy looked out the window to the city that was in the distance as an airplane passed over it making a bit of noice, that in that moment, resonated with the birds and the leaves in the area. "I want to have an objective like before" Olroy smiled with innocensy.

Gilbe was speechless for a moment. 'Grand Mother... I am sorry... it seems i have found a new master.'
