" No" the queen declined, " You do not need to waste your powers for this pathetic human as the future king of Ectopia. I will handle it myself"
Lewis and his group were still laying before the queen groaning in pain from the fall.
The queen turned to Carisa, " grab the energy, we are paying earth a visit for having intruded on our planet and causing great trouble"
Carisa hesitated to grab the energy because she was afraid that the planet would crumble under her if she was to do so.
" Mom" Carisa called out after trying to grab the brightening energy core but was afraid to, " Won't the planet get destroyed if I pick this core?"
The queen smiled before she replied, " No. As long as it remains in the hands of royal blood"
The queen started circling the energy core which was shining brightly in a basin that was kept at the center of the hole.
The hole was a deep hole that was found when this world began and since then a lot of infrastructure has been built in it making it look like a room underground.
There were pillars at the side walls of the hole and what seemed like a mirror in a corner. Something like an altar was also kept here which of course the King uses to absorb energy from the core.
Lewis and his group started shifting away from the queen immediately after she started circling the energy core. Using their bottoms to shift far from the queen who was having this dangerous smirk on her face.
The core was round like a ball but bigger; shining brightly white where it was floating, on top of the basin.
The Queen continued with her statement, " if this core didn't recognize us do you think that it would still be here? No, it would have been stolen by now. That was the reason it hasn't been stolen from here. Only someone from the royal family can take it out from here"
Kein and Carisa's faces twitched a little at hearing that. They haven't heard of this before.
Even Lewis came here thinking that he would succeed in taking the energy core not knowing that it was going to be a futile effort.
" But mom, what will happen if someone else tries to steal the core?" Carisa asked intrigued by the conversation.
" The core will blast the person away from it. So now stop asking questions and grab the energy let's get out here"
Carisa did as she was told but instead of keeping it for herself, she handed it over to Kein. While their mother concentrated back on Lewis and his group.
" Waw, I didn't know humans have improved a lot since we first met. Well we will be going to visit your people but you guys won't be coming along, you want to know why?" She asked but Lewis and his group were looking at her with confusion written all over their faces.
They didn't understand a bit of what the alien woman was saying but they later understood what she was saying when she pulled someone among them with her powers towards her before using an energy bullet to blast his head.
Then she faced the second person who happened to be Russell. They are now the remaining five members of the spaceship who were still alive.
She was about to crush the head of Russell the same way she did with the other when she heard someone slow_clapped from behind pillars beside the walls of the underground.
Kein tried to go to the pillars to know who that slow_ clapped belonged to but before he could even move his legs, Diziriala came out of her hiding place gently.
" Queen Aisha! nice to see you again"
Carisa's mother widened her eyes in shock, " Diziriala you are already here? I knew it, I know you are all behind this "
" Oh really?" Diziriala smiled wryly before her tone changed into a soft and timid voice, " But Queen Aisha don't you think you are being a criminal here? I did all the hard work, don't you see?" She pointed at the two dead bodies of the guards of the energy core.
And queen Aisha remembered the dead bodies she met at the entrance before she came here.
" But I didn't know you have a kind of a barrier that prevents outsiders from getting to the core. But now you have helped me maybe I can take the energy from here"
Queen Aisha scoffed at that statement, " and you think we will give it to you that easily?"
" Of course" Diziriala rushed to answer with a mocking expression on her face, " You do not have any fighting power left in those weak bones of yours, do you? Your husband is dead after all"
" Then I will defect you!" Kein said determinedly to defend his mother.
Dizirala looked at him amusingly, " Oh I can see how powerful you are, like your father. I think I'm going to die"
She started making a fake shiver to mock Kein.
Lewis and his crew were still shocked at seeing Diziriela who led them to their untimely death, but it was as if she was pretending not to notice them there.
Aisha nodded her head with a painful smile on her face. Everything was becoming clear now.
" So you are the one behind all this judging by the way you came quietly here without any trance?" Aisha asked with that smile still on her face.
" Oh yes. I thought you were a fool but now I am convinced that you are not a great one. As for your question, yes I was the one behind all this. I killed the advisor of the Teratac kingdom and turned into him to convince their king to come here. I killed the king of the Mekaya by using the face of one of the members of your planet to make them wage a war on you guys''
" I was also the one that invited the other habitats of the other planets by involving your guys" Diziriala sighed with a smile, " all thanks to me everything worked out fine"
" What of the humans," Aisha asked again, pointing at Lewis and his group.
" Nah, " Diziriala waved her hand aside, " Why will I invite pathetic things to this important issue? They invited themselves"
" That is not true, you….." Lewis wanted to explain but was given a deadly glare from Dizirala that shut his mouth.
" Now, " Diziriala once again smiled, " shall you hand the Energy over to me?"
