They all watched the battle cruiser pass by while it seemed to be looking for something, Phrae walked over to Tai slipping a brazer on Tai's wrist and kissed her passionately.
" we will follow you to ysoa e station but I won't be able to board with you all, we will wait nearby for your call and if ever you're in danger let me know " Phrae said as Tai walked them to the hatch, she kisses Phrae one last time before they started toward the space station.
" two more hours we will arrive " Taki said leaning back in her seat while scanning the area for any surprises when Phrae sent a message.
(" the battle cruiser is thirty miles away from that planet, it seems they released several ships to stealthily enter that planet so be careful when you go there plus they seem to have communicated with several people aboard the space station ") Phrae said then signed off while they stayed behind letting Tais ship go to the space station, Jessica was waiting at the docking Bay for her daughters arrival and she also had several surprises for her. One being Ari that she went ahead and sent for when Tai came across the ghost ship.
Jessica had Ari hide behind the dozen or so large crates that she had brought in to load on Tais ship that had new weapons and upgraded Exo suits that she had built for them, she has over sixteen suits made in case Tai had other allies to keep them well protected against any new weapons it enemies so the suits will protect them better then the others.
Tai ran out of the hatch doors when she saw her mother standing there with over a dozen of her own soldiers who were only loyal to Jessica.
" Tai you look good and more fit then when I last saw you" Jessica said as her daughter bear hugged her and spins her around causing Jessica to laugh while she peppered kisses on Tais cheek.
Amani, Taki, Olivia, Len and Lillian were watching the mother and daughter with a large mechanical Tiger that stood beside them surveying the area marking any body signatures that were around the area.
" ok let's go to my lab where the survivors are being held, of Course Tai I have another surprise for you...come on out " Jessica said when a girl with Auburn hair stepped out and Tai smiled widely seeing her childhood friend and sweetheart.
" Ari...you're here " Tai said running to her and picking her up with a breathless kiss while Ari wrapped her legs around Tai's waist, the other girls looked at them both with confusion and jealousy.
" oh don't be so bothered Tai marked her when they were kids, she knew right away that Ari was her mate " Jessica said as she wondered when making Tai if she should have gotten rid of that gene that was dominant in a lot of Tais genetics from those extinct races she used.
" well I sent my guard to retrieve Ari when you all ran across a new problem, she will leave with you all after you visit that planet finding that Alien queen " Jessica said to Amani who nodded her head watching Tai like a hawk.
They all followed Jessica inside her lab where she had cells lined up on both sides of the walls that held each survivor inside separate, they all noticed the girl with the midnight blue hair and red eyes standing up staring at them.r
" well the other three are innocent but I kept them here for their own safety...Her name is Josephine,but Joe for short " Jessica said as Tai walked closer to the cell giving the girl a small smile walking closer to the glass that separated them.
" she's not one of my kind Amina " Taki whispered to her, Tai opened the door and walked in keeping a couple feet from her.
" who sent you to that ship " Tai said handing her a snack that she quickly took them sat in the corner eating it, Tai smiled softly at her then slowly made her way to sit down beside her.
" Listen I'll be upfront with you, if you don't cooperate with us they'll put you and the other three down and I don't want that for you all....You will follow my company and listen to my commander, also be loyal to us " Tai said as the girl nervously looked at the other three in the cells.
" do they come with us " Joe asked looking back at Tai with a worried look.
" if you want or they can stay with my mother and she'll get them into school... she'll keep them safe for you and I promise you that" Tai said making the girl bite her lip while thinking.
" if I stay loyal will they be guaranteed a good home " Joe said scooting closer to Tai, she gently held Tais hand since she can usually feel what people are thinking but when she grabbed Tais hand she felt like her body started warming up and butterflies was in her stomach.
" I'll tell you what I know and I'll be loyal to you " Joe said still holding Tais hand as Jessica watched them carefully.
" She's a soother a very smart one at that...I bet she is a pure blood " Jessica said smiling back at Amani who rolled her eyes.
" you've got to be kidding me...don't tell me she's one of her mates too " Amani said clenching her fist, Jessica laughed at her only nodding her head yes.
" it seems that fate has brought you all together, let's hope that Tai will survive all of this " Jessica said opening all of the cells, the other children didn't move and Tai brought Joe outside the cell.
" Joe say goodbye to your friends they'll accompany me for now on " Jessica said walking over to where she had several vials sitting with a gun that Jessica loads.
" Tai come here " Jessica said putting it to her neck pulling the trigger making a loud hissing sound and loads another giving her four more in a row.
" you'll be fine for a while but your body is going to change and I won't lie it'll be painful to where you'll want to end your own life...your mates will help you especially Joe can share your pain with the others" Jessica said kissing her forehead.
" you need to mark them all tonight that way you will be connected to one another " Jessica whispered to her and pulled her into a hug and Tai hugged her back tightly.
" ok get yourselves ready and Ari will be with you so leave her on the ship with Joe also the elites will protect the ship. I'm also sending six to go with you to the planet to help hunt that thing " Jessica said pointing over to six muscular men who all bowed their heads.
Tai walked back to the hanger with her mother while the others walked ahead of them.
" now I've made you all some new Exo skeleton suits where even this creature won't be able to make a scratch plus new weapons for all of you...I've given you extra in case you meet more people who you want to protect." Jessica said pinching her daughters cheek while walking up to the ship where the elites werel loading all of the crates that Romm Romm was checking and monitoring.
" be careful my love, I'll be returning to my personal base if you need me " Jessica said looking over at Tais crew, She smiled at the girls who waved goodbye to her.
" oh mom I met a woman recently who said she's a Dragonox and also said I had their DNA as well... actually she's one of my mates that I already marked and she marked me as well " Tai said scratching around her mark making Jessica smile.
" I've heard rumors of her, I've always wanted to meet her and I guess now I will " Jessica said rubbing the gold Brazer on Tais wrist, she then took off a necklace and put it on Tais neck.
" go now set up camp for the night then hunt that creature down, it'll be too dangerous tonight since the area is like a swamp " Jessica said kissing Tais forehead then waved at the others while Joe hugged the others goodbye.
