Chereads / The Beyonders / Chapter 33 - Chapter 31

Chapter 33 - Chapter 31

Captain Ivan, donning his elegant white uniform adorned with golden lines, stepped onto the pirate ship, the stage set for a long-awaited confrontation with the notorious pirate captain – Maverick.

A smirk played on Maverick's face as he greeted Ivan, adopting a friendly demeanor as if they were old acquaintances. "Ivan, my old friend, been a while. Did you miss me?" he taunted, trying to provoke his adversary. Unfazed, Ivan's response was decisive. "Take them down. Show no mercy to those who resist," he commanded his loyal crew, determination burning in his eyes.

Amidst the tension, Gabriel stood bewildered, a mere observer in this interstellar drama. Unaware of the past animosity between the two captains, he raised his hands in surrender – a practical decision in the face of overwhelming odds.

The crew scorned Gabriel's perceived cowardice, but he remained unfazed. "A live coward is always better than a dead brave man," he retorted, emphasizing the importance of survival and planning for the future. Uninterested in taking sides in the brewing conflict, Gabriel chose pragmatism over bravado.

The duel between the captains erupted, their powerful aspects clashing in a display of cosmic might. Maverick, wielding control over glass with his unique aspect, formed a protective dome around himself. However, Ivan, hailing from the frozen human race of Glaciara, unleashed his chilling authority over ice, turning the dome into an icy prison before shattering it with a single gesture.

As cold flames burned in Ivan's eyes, his lethal abilities intensified. The temperature plummeted, freezing Maverick from the inside out. The pirate captain's bravado wavered as he felt the icy grip of doom closing in around him. Despite his best efforts, he succumbed to Ivan's fearsome reputation, falling lifeless to the ground.

Enthralled by the breathtaking spectacle, Gabriel bore witness to a battle of cosmic proportions, each Beyonder showcasing their extraordinary powers. Amidst the mayhem, the pirate crew fought valiantly but ultimately succumbed to the relentless force of the Galactic Federation soldiers.

As the dust settled, Gabriel found himself the last one standing among the wreckage of combat. The pirate crew, once defiant and fierce, now lay defeated. Ivan, unfazed by the victory, turned away from Maverick's lifeless body, a testament to his prowess.

"What about him?" one of the soldiers inquired, referring to Gabriel, the surrendered outsider. Ivan paused, studying Gabriel's countenance, before making a decision. "He's coming with us," he declared, and with that, the victorious captain returned to his ship.

Gabriel, now part of this enigmatic crew, pondered his role in the unfolding cosmic drama. A new chapter of cosmic intrigue awaited him, and with each step, he would journey further into the uncharted territories of the universe, bound by destiny and cosmic forces beyond his wildest imagination. As the Galactic Federation ship departed, propelling them into the unexplored realms of space, Gabriel embraced the unknown, ready to carve his own fate amidst the stars.
