Chapter 12 - Chapter 12

"Your majesty, an excellent speech," Ballari said while entering through the sliding metal doors "however you have a meeting with Head Phitnac".

"The megascale engineering science head?".

"Yes your majesty" Ballari bowed "and what is the meeting about?".

"You scheduled for a few projects of which you didn't say".

"Ohh yeah, I remember now!" Aleister exclaimed 'I need a break, I've been working harder for the past two months, than in my entire career in remodeling'.

"Alright, you may leave" Aleister sighed.

'A Jupiter brain, multiple Ecumenopolises, a shipyard consisting of 6 rings around a whole planet, and a giant 'forge' that can take a star and turn it into whatever is desired, they are going to have a lot of work to do'.

walking down the hall from the room Aleister was previously in while reading a few manuscripts from the shipyards, he had made a left into a longer hallway and from there he turned into a small hanger holding only one small ship. With two Fighters that detached from the side of the ship, the single transport flew from space into the atmosphere of Dochion.

A whole 100 miles from the main capital on the planet, they were flying above multiple giant complexes of buildings at least five stories tall, with many trees, walkways, and open parks strung through all around them. Landing on a side terrace on the biggest visible building, Aleister made his way into the building, meeting him was a person of the same race as Ballari.

With black crackling skin, completely hairless, and in a sleek dark grey uniform, the man deeply bowed to the king. "Mr. Wregtzal, we have much to discuss therefore we should get started immediately, and Where is Head Phitnac".

"He is on his way, and If expediency is what you desire then expediency is it. This way your majesty" Wregtzal said while extending his hand to the side before walking to one of the sliding doors to the left of the hallway, Aleister was a bit confused by the almost disrespectful attitude and tone however this man was extremely smart in the field of megastructure engineering, therefore, he let it go on the account of stress or nervousness.

Following behind Aleister were a dozen black-armored guards, of which only two entered into the room with him, they fanned out upon entering the room. But before they could move even a few steps they were hit by the electrified staffs of two white science district guards at the door. It was of no surprise that they all were of the same race.

"Don't worry they aren't dead, a weakness in the so-called best armor in the kingdom is electricity, too bad you won't be leaving this room alive" Wregtzal sneered while drawing a long thin dagger from his sleeve, queuing over a dozen similarly white armored guards holding electro staffs.

"It looks like you all have forgotten in a mere few decades that one Sanguisuge is worth a lot more than a mere dozen of you".

"Maybe, but we are armed and you are not!" He replied while thrusting forward.

"It's treason then!".

Jumping back in a dodge Aleister grabbed the two heads of the very caught-off guards and banged them together popping their heads like cherries, quickly Aleister caught each of the guards by the shoulder and threw them into the groups of people on the left and right.

Jumping back towards Wregtzal he quickly punched him in the face sending him tumbling into the desk behind him, deciding to go towards the right group of people getting up after the body was thrown at them, Aleister drew a hidden dagger from his right thigh and stabbed it through the eye of the closest one.

Quickly he dislodged the knife and slashed at one of the guard's thighs and then at the neck after the man started to fall down, dodging to the left an electro staff wissed by his body, grabbing the arm of the guard he stabbed him in the back of the head, ending all of the people on that side of the room.

Seeing the quick and utter destruction of the guards on the other side of the room, almost everyone was frozen in fear, everyone except Wregtzal who was once again running at Aleister in a rage with a broken nose and jaw. In that rage, he ultimately didn't notice the giant group of black-armored royal guardsmen running in.

Quickly slicing the arm off of the grossly undertrained scientist, he moved to slice the other arm off but failed to make a precise cut or hit a bone; it didn't matter as the arm was hanging on to the torso by mere strings of tendon and clothing meaning for a criminal it would be removed anyway. Looking up Aleister found that all of the whtie armored guards were dead with some of them having their heads or arms or legs completely chopped off.

"Looks like I'm armed, and you are not" Aleister giggled in his face rubbing the salt in the wounds before yelling at a few guards "Take this man to the medic bay, make sure he lives to see the insides of a cell in Shádsals", the guards could tell that Aleister was furious so a lucky two ran to take the rapidly bleeding out man to the nearest medic bay.

"Ballari!" Aleister barked to the man standing at the door in shock "Tell the head of royal intelligence and the quartermaster of the royal guard to get to the palace NOW!".

"Your grace!" He bleated while shaking a little.

"And you let's go to another room," he said to the other man standing right next to Ballari in shock while walking to the door, stopping while looking at the two unconscious guards "and take these two to the medic bay, tell the nurses to tell these two that they will do four thousand push-ups, four thousand Squats, four hours of planks, four hundred laps in the pool, and four hundred laps around the palace, you two will watch them for. every two hundred exercises and twenty laps they don't complete in 48 hours after discharge they get lashed in the back".
