"Captain, everything is ready. The ship of the diplomat should be falling out of hyperspace any minute now. When our sensors pick up the fluctuations of an incoming hyperspace window. We will activate the distorters." Our pilot informs me.
A nervous shiver runs down my neck to my feet. In the last five days, I pushed my men hard. We tried to go through all possibilities this could go wrong. Now we are in a waiting position. I hate sitting and waiting. Trying to calm me, I think about all the people that depend on this mission's success.
"Captain! Incoming." Our pilot shouts,
"Sending countdown to Levia. Activating distorters. Our sensors and theirs are blind, no communication possible."
And then we see it, the beginnings of the expanse of the hyperspace window.
"Men get ready and shift. May Shayla be with all of us."
Focusing on my inner Xerxerus. We are in harmony with our animal parts. If I would describe the process, it feels like my animal comes to me, and we merge into a greater version of ourselves. When it starts, I feel my body grow as soon as I let go.
My skin grows scales, nothing short of laser weapons will be able to penetrate without great force. We get to be immune to the elements. Behind my two curved horns, spikes appear to the end of my tail, that grows. My teeth getting longer, sharper, I grow claws on my feet. I'm holding back the growth of my leathery wings and claws on my hands.
This battle will be in limited space and hands without claws, can better hold weapons. We are a terrifying sight, most that fight us for the first-time freeze in fear. Our bodysuits are designing to expand and let our claws and spikes penetrate the membrane without destroying the material. It's one of our greatest inventions if you ask me. I don't like being naked in battle even when my cock is not hanging between my legs. Our cocks are safe behind a scaly sheath.
I can see the ship before us. It's a small one designed for speed, not battles. It still can hold its own when necessary. But it wouldn't stand a chance against my beautiful ship Levia. In our shuttle, we would be sitting ducks if we were to be discovered. I check the time 19 minutes left. Our pilot navigates us adjusting our speed to the target, we fly under the belly of the ship to an airlock.
Krelak and his second are going in position. They will enter first and secure the deck. Then we move on and search for this diplomat. Gently our pilot docks to the airlock. Krelak uses his scanner to open the airlock. He nods to Halam, who climbs the ladder and opens the lock. Krelak right behind him. Guns at ready they lookout. I can hear one of our laser guns shoot a shocking beam at someone.
"All clear captain. Let's go."
We climb the ladder. I turn to Halam.
"You will stay here and secure our escape route."
He nods.
"Captain, I hacked into their ship's system. The diplomat is on deck four. We are currently on deck eight. How should we proceed?" Krelak ask.
"Hmm, on which deck are engineers, bridge, security?"
"Deck one, three, four."
"Deck four should be heavily armed then. Can you get any data from here?"
"I could hack into the system throughout the server room. Which is located on deck six."
"Ok, we will go to deck six. We still can get the diplomat if necessary."
Walking swiftly in the corridor to the lift. A door opens at my right, a crewman walks out. Before he can register us, I shot him. Shocked by my laser gun, he drops to the floor. He will be out for an hour and wake up with a massive headache. We arrive at the lift.
All three of us inside are a tight fit. We select deck six and wait for the lift to move us there. But nothing happens.
"Krelak!"
He starts using his scanner.
"It seems they discovered our breach."
"Okay, Krelak comes with me, you go back to Halam and help secure our escape. This gets interesting, at least."
Davac exit the lift while Krelak hacks into the lift's system.
"Captain, I got control of the lifts. I blocked them. The only one that's moveable is ours."
We ascend to deck six. When the lift opens, three security guards greet us with weapons drawn. Their eyes upon seeing us widen in fear, their body freeze.
This gives us enough reaction time to neutralize our targets. Krelak taps something on his scanner and then turns back to me.
"I got this lift blocked too. It will only open for us again to get back to our shuttle. Let's move on, Captain."
We walk throughout the corridor encountering a few more armed crewmen. But they are no match for us. Our appearance alone seems to instill fear in them. Unfortunately, this will only work once. Reaching the server room, Krelak takes a few minutes to hack into the system.
"I got the diplomat personal data. It's encoded, but with Orin's help, we can break the code later."
We walk out of the room.
"Do you hear that?"
"It sounds like somebody is struggling against someone else," Krelak says.
Slowly we look around the corner. Before an open door, two bulky men try to drag a smaller man outside.
He is short and lithe. But he fights them, even when he doesn't stand a chance. Shouting and kicking around. Red Hair extends to his shoulders and skin so white it looks like the snow on Xerun. Who is that beautiful human omega? And then they turn and discover us. I get a full-frontal view, he got green eyes that expand in fear. He starts to shake. Now he tries to get behind the men that began to drag him who knows where to.
Both men draw their weapons and open fire. Krelak and I immediately return fire, ducking behind the corner. When one of them throws some sort of grenade. It explodes, I register heat. The explosion isn't too hot for our shifted forms. Deciding we played long enough, I charge them with Krelak besides me. We make short work of them. The boy falls to the floor in fear. He is shaking like a leaf, a silent scream leaving his lungs.
"This is an omega. They are on the way to the Xertian King. Look, he even has a slave collar. Let's take him with us. Can you check if they have more slaves on board?"
"Hmm, according to their cargo lists. There should be no slaves. Maybe he is the diplomat's body slave?"
"No, that can't be it. The federation condemns slavery. Let's hope there are no more and rescue this one. We both know what will happen if he reaches Xertia."
