_ Things seem to be beyond a labyrinth- said Tyndale
Michael finds the way to get to a sinister place that they would know as the hole of shadows, there were two aliens inside it, the spaceship seen by Yadir Patterson was a fact. So he entered where that hole was. Fiorella and Kesil were their names.
_ Daughter!
_ Mom!
_ You must go! - Fiorella had a strong wound penetrated almost to her heart, it was a matter of seconds to die- I... I... I love you daughter! And please... tell.....your-your-your-father and your sister Galaxy, that- Fiorella was dying to the point of death- that I love them too!- Fiorella dies, although seconds before, she activated an AI created in Warshap where the Warshapians (alien race, the most powerful in the universe) express grief, anger, pain in the face of tragedy and misfortune.
_ Mother! Noooooooooooooo! - a distressed Kesil activates another AI showing her grief at losing her mother, and records "all her crying" at having lost her mother.
A black-skinned boy, co-creator of FIREFLY, arrives and helps her.
_ Kesil, come, I'll help you! - he said, extending his hand
_ Get out! I don't need your help!
_ You need it! Otherwise you will die, and I don't think you want those you love to suffer for your death too! Especially your father!
The young woman accepts the help of that mysterious co-creator of FIREFLY, so she takes his hand and saves him, they go straight to where Tyndale is, who helps them out anyway.
_ It's a pleasure, Kesil Blake- said Tyndale
_ Do you think I'm up to this? My mother is dead! - Kesil couldn't stop sobbing.
_ If I didn't save you, not only would my planet be in grave danger from the pain and anger of your father, you would also be dead, and your aunt, Atziri, would be sad and desolate for not having saved her niece.
_ Who are you talking about? And how the hell do you know my aunt's name? She was banished! How the hell does this wretch know my name? Who are you?
_ I am Michael Tyndale, leader and creator of FIREFLY
_ And I am Ariché Noumair, I am co-leader and co-creator of FIREFLY, through the voice of our leader, Tyndale, I tell you that we saved your life, your aunt, Atziri Blake, is also with us, as well as her husband, also her son.
_ So what? Now they will tell me that this Allister is now an alien?
_ Of course! Although he does not show it here on earth - said Michael - we call them "Invisible Aliens". Now, his age became your age, and he will live thousands and thousands of years, as many and as many as the Warshapians live. Come! You were the victim of a strong tragedy, as well as a serious accident, we want to help you, in FIREFLY, we will continue talking.
They transport Kesil to where the FIREFLY base is, Kesil also has a great prejudice against humans, but it is easier to reason with her, she is more reasonable than her father, Armin Blake, she was still crying, grieving, sobbing for her mother, Ariche for his part, felt compassion for that girl, although she was an alien, she had the appearance of a 25-year-old woman.
_ How old are you? - Ariche asked him during the trip, Kesil did not answer him, his tears did not stop, now, his mother passed away, suspicions of the death of the wife of the leader and creator of Infinity are already throughout the universe, but Armin inside, already knew it, he only wanted to know where his wife had died, but he also thought something else: Kesil, his youngest daughter, they also knew that "had died", they believed, but Armin knew that she "had died", he did not know that Kesil was still alive, the powerful duel of losing the love of your life, the pain of the loss that has no name: the death of a child, they already had Armin drowned in pain, but he did not want to show his emotions to others, so he decided to live his grief alone, although his relatives wanted to be by his side. This came to Kesil's mind, and it hurt her greatly that her father might think that she had also died, but she was so in shock from losing her mother that she was unable to act accordingly. - I'm so sorry! I'm really sorry, it's not easy to assimilate a loss like that.
_ What do you know about losing a loved one?
_ More than you can imagine, how old are you?
_ Still that stupid question?
_ You look young, a young adult, I'm 26, of course! Not in Warshapian age.
_ I'm 5,000 years old! - Kesil said shouting - happy?
_ And I... I... I... What does it feel like to live so long?
_ The human race does not see time as we Warshapians see it. We are the most powerful alien race in the universe, my father is the most powerful of all.....
_ Don't keep talking, dear- said Michael- we know it and well
_ You don't know anything, even if you say you know us, what's more, how the hell do you know us? My aunt Atziri, right?
_ She is a key piece, she was and is to know your race, but you must know that she is only the piece of a powerful
puzzle. We're almost there, Noumair! Let FIREFLY know of our arrival and that we have a Warshapiana as a guest.
Upon arriving at FIREFLY, Kesil did not understand why she was received without hostile treatment, although what she did see was that it emanated a very powerful halo of mystery, but it was not a place where evil was felt, but rather like a light in the middle of an immense darkness, but very mysterious.
_ Sit down, before we can talk and you can ask us whatever you want, let us see your aunt - Tyndale lets Kesil's aunt in - talk for a moment, we will leave you alone.
_ Kesil.....you were a teenager, a teenager when I no longer saw you.........how?...H-how is he.....
_ My father?.... Full of anger.... You know why! And I don't have to say it because you know it better than anyone, but you ran off and married that unhappy human, he loved you so much!
_ And I loved him too! But there's much more, much more that even Earth and our people don't know, humanity is not the enemy, Kesil.
_ I don't understand how you can lecture me when I'm so devastated by my mother's death!
_ Even when we're facing pain and adversity, we must remain calm, serene, that's the Warshapian culture, but you know that apart from reasoning, logic, strategy, analysis and similar virtues, we are also powerful warriors, the strongest of all alien races, neither humanity could defeat us nor any other race.
_ Where does your reasoning come from now that humanity is not the enemy? That there's much more that neither Earth nor Warshap know? Regardless of your stupid reasonings contaminated with the selfishness of this planet, you know that humanity is dangerous... and that it is...
_ Kesil! I love you as much as your father loves you, you know that he and I are the closest of our brothers, and it breaks my heart to know the immense suffering of my brother now that he knows that the love of his life is dead, and that he thinks that you are too. Your mother was my sister-in-law! And now I suffer for her death as well!
_ She is my mother! Besides, what do you know... about... my father's suffering?
Aunt and niece stare at each other for several minutes, Tyndale enters.
_ Time out, come with me!
As they walked towards "The Light of the Firefly" (LUCERNAGA's command and control center) Atziri talks to Michael.
_ Tyndale! You know that I have collaborated a lot with you so that there is peace and that there can be peace in the entire universe, but I know very well that your purpose is not directly linked to the Peace of the universe and...,
_ You know very well my dear Atziri, that our purpose is to be a key piece in achieving it, you know very well who will achieve much more than FIREFLY has achieved.
_ What is this lunatic human talking about? - asked Kesil bewildered.
_ In due time you will know, come in!
"The light of the firefly" welcomes Kesil.
_ A pleasure to meet you! - said Margaret - you don't know how much we regret! Individually, how much I regret the loss of your mother! Believe us! We want you to live your grief, but now before the end of the world, we can't let ourselves live the grief in peace, it's for the greater good.
_ You? Lunatic human? Do you really know what is needed for there to be permanent peace? You are selfish, you don't help each other, there is no love, you only pursue goals to be able to be powerful, you eat each other, you harm each other. You can now give me the face that you are kind, but I am very sure that sooner or later in some way you will hurt me, and you will release all your cursed nature that describes you as a human race.
_ We are not all like that! - said Margaret - it is true that selfishness and evil, injustice predominate in the world, but there are people who truly want to do good to others. We are in the middle of a labyrinth, as much as we search for peace, non-violence, we cannot find it, because we know that as long as there is selfishness, we will not be at peace, but we do not know how we can find it.
_ Dear Kesil! - said Ariche- there is something that does not fit us: you accuse us of being selfish and bad people, but, do your strategies that you do in Infinity... Or in the universe, really... bring true peace and security to your environment?
_ I have nothing to say to you, lunatic human, well, Ariché, your name is Ariche, I have nothing to say to you.
_ I am here now making an act of presence to be able to answer your questions - said Britney- when we saw your ship fall, my AI was able to detect the alien presence, advanced technology, technology that would take humanity more than three million years to at least have the basics of all its infinite technology in regards to its ship, But you must know this, Kesil: although your aunt Atziri has been a key piece here in LUCIÉRNAGA, she does not reveal everything about you and everything that is happening in the universe, we, the
We investigate you thanks to our human intelligence, beyond AI, because the human is the creator of AI. We study alien behavior, both at the cultural level, as we call it here, at the sociological level, we are Alien-sociologists. And we have not depended on your technology or the intellect and power of Atziri, although she is a brave, strategist, sequential alien and powerful warrior beyond the power of the soldiers of all the different parts of our world, she has revealed to us less than 1% of what you are, the rest of the percentage is made by us. FIREFLY, knows better than humanity, the alien existence. And we know very well that if your father, Armin Blake wanted to destroy us.... it would not be directly because of the great pain he will feel for losing his wife and leaving you for dead.
_ You do not know the reasons why you are a real threat, because we want you dead or at least that you do not know of our existence! The law of Infinity says that humans should not know of our existence, so as an organization, I ask you to please stop questioning me and let me go, if you do, we will not do anything against you, but you must also stop investigating us. Because now you are in serious trouble now that I know that you study us, that you know of our existence! Humanity should never know, stop doing it and keep quiet about what you already know, or else, the probability of it being considered permanent destruction of your planet rises to 99%.
_ At no time did we tell you that we were going to let you go, yes Miss Kesil? - said Michael- even your aunt Atziri knows that you should not leave for now.
_ Do you trust these lunatic humans more than your niece? That is treason! - Kesil expressed.
_ It's not a betrayal! - exclaimed Atziri- I love you, Kesil, and what they told you is true: I have not revealed everything about us, what they have discovered about the universe and our race, it is the truth, I do not always agree with their strategies, but they are good people.
_ Kesil let me tell you something - said Ariche- I know that the most logical thing is that you want to go through your mourning for having lost your mother, and I am willing to be by your side so that you can move forward, besides, your aunt is here, who most likely loves you and loves you as if you were her own daughter. LUCIÉRNAGA is mysterious, but there is much behind this mystery, one day they will understand it. There are good people, good people in this world, the name of one of them is Jawara Malenfant, although he is a very intelligent person and possessor of many triumphs, he loves people and of course he has his bad life history...
_ Stop talking lunatic human! - Kesil said furiously - You want to manipulate me and I will not allow that! - Kesil gets so angry that he lets out his natural warshapian side: his arms become powerful swords and he begins to act violently, Tyndale tries to calm her down and makes movements in the evacuation routes to protect the members of FIREFLY, Kesil feels hurt and her emotions are uncontrollable for having lost her mother, what she does not know is that this news has already reached her planet and her father, Armin, is heartbroken, so heartbroken that he does not even allow those closest to him to approach him, so much pain, so much suffering, so many tears shed for losing who he loved and believing wrongly the death of his daughter. But Tyndale acts accordingly.
_ I have told your aunt over and over again and now I tell you!: you had time to plan our possible extinction, but we, although we do not have your advanced technology, the basic and superficial knowledge of your aunt has helped us prepare, to be able to create our defense, in short: If you plan our extinction, extinction will come upon you. - Tyndale takes out a very strange and advanced weapon and points it at Kesil, Kesil lunges at Tyndale but with the weapon he manages to stun Kesil in an impressive way, since no human has strength over a Warshapian, the Warshapians are so powerful that they are no match for humans, but if Kesil is the daughter of the most powerful Warshapian that exists and the most powerful of all alien races, how could Tyndale subdue her? FIREFLY would transform into a labyrinth.
Kesil attacks again and again while Tyndale stuns her defending his people, but Atziri decides to take her, so, she flies away taking her niece very high and then they land in a part of the Earth where there is no danger of harming a human being.
_ Kesil! Please! These people are not your enemies, there is something more sinister, something more sinister than we could imagine.
_ And what is that? Why didn't you let him fight those lunatics?
_ In due time you will know,
_ There is no time! The end of this world is coming! My father did not plan
I agreed with Infinity to never interfere with the human race, not help it! But neither destroy it, we want Peace! Now! When he knows that mom is dead and if he doesn't know anything about me, how do you think he can feel? Do you think he will tolerate seeing how so much selfishness made my mother die and believe that I am too?
_ You are devastated by the death of your mother! Let me help you! You know that in our culture there is no room to let ourselves be dominated by emotions, we can live the grief together! Let me help you!
_ I will not let you help me! You are treacherous!
_ Kesil! This is not you, your pain blocks you so much that you cannot see reality, let me help you. And yes, my brother, your father, will suffer too much or else he is already suffering too much, shedding tears, crying uncontrollably knowing of the death of the woman he loves and thinking that your death is a fact, but if we let things happen as you think or he thinks they should happen, suffering will not only happen to humanity more than it already suffers, the Warshapians, our family, all alien races will have indescribable suffering.
Kesil could not contain himself any longer and again transformed his arms into very sharp swords and more powerful than those that humans have created in history.
_ Kesil! Niece!
_ Now you will pay dearly for your betrayal!
Atziri releases her alien side and also transforms like Kesil did, aunt and niece fight very hard, Atziri, being a brave, powerful and strategic warrior, could easily dominate her niece, but she doesn't because what stops her is her unconditional love she has for her, Kesil, although she hadn't been trained to be a powerful warrior in the Warshapian culture, she trusted in her natural abilities of a Warshapian and that drove her to keep fighting, Atziri used a single sword, Kesil used two, both fought very hard, until Atziri creates a powerful protective bubble that serves as a shield in combat, it is so unstoppable that Kesil can't beat her aunt, Atziri is 70% powerful of what Armin Blake is, which makes her the most powerful female Warshapian and the most powerful alien in the universe, but she doesn't want to use that power to subdue her niece.
_ You are my niece and I love you, so we will do as FIREFLY says, we will take you captive and you will not come out until Tyndale decides.
Zoe knocks out her niece and takes her back to FIREFLY's base, while they struggle to survive the coming cataclysm, FIREFLY had already planned how to survive, but did FIREFLY have the ability to protect more people from the coming catastrophe? And if yes, would she do it? And if not, why not?
