Galaxy At War: World At Ransom, Chapter 14

  All the agents sat around the table listening to Eusebio's story of his real past. Using his powers, he conjured up a portal through which they could watch his life story unfold.

  They watched as he was born on his home planet of Argaski, which was very much like Earth. When Dorzen was born, people could feel power emanating from him. Birds and other animals would come near him and he had a special connection with them, almost as they could talk with each other with their minds. At the age of three, people knew that he was different. He had an adult's maturity and intelligence. However, he kept his powers hidden to himself and told no one else about it. Practicing them secretly in the dead of night. He developed vast knowledge which surpassed all of the wisest men in Argaski. (Although he did not show it.)

  One day, however, when he was attending speech class after school, an infamous bully, Argawa, punched Dorzen in the face and mocked him, saying, "Hey you! You are different from everybody else. I don't think you're human. You are an alien Mastuga in disguise, I suppose!"

  Argawa was the strongest boy in the city and being the son of a magician, he had some magical powers. Dorzen absolutely hated magic and anything to do with the occult, bringing him to criticize Argarwa's father and earn the hatred of Argarwa.

  Argarwa was surprised to see that Dorzen was not at all harmed by the blow. Dorzen replied calmly, "There is no need to continue. I am stronger than you. Please don't make me angry."

  "Oh really?! Stronger than me! I'm the strongest boy in the city! Now I'll show you a taste of my powers!" Argarwa snarled and cried, "Ohârslo!"

  Dorzen was slammed into the wall as the spell took effect. Grunting, he glared at Argarwa, "You know that magic is accursed and I hate it! How dare you use it on me. Magic draws upon your strength, but I have a different power altogether! It is unlimited!"

  Dorzen raised his hand and sent an energy blast directly at Argarwa. The people in the room screamed as Argarwa was hurled through the wall, creating a gaping hole...

  The "movie" continued to the time when Dorzen founded the Trayos Order to maintain peace in the galaxy. Throughout his entire life, Dorzen continued to hate magic and all those who practiced it, barring any of them from joining the Trayos Order.

  The story moved on to the Great War, where Worlock led a rebellion against the Republic. The Trayos Order together with the Republic defeated the rebellion and Dorzen was given the position of Supreme Commander of the Republic fleet. At that time, he was over 400 years old.

  As the events unfolded, the agents were amazed at the other galaxy and started discussions among themselves. Paul said," Wow! A good insight into another galaxy!"

  At the end of the movie, the agents asked Eusebio (Dorzen preferred to be called "Eusebio" on Earth), "Who is Korm? Why did he lead the Rebellion?"

  Sighing, Eusebio replied, "Korm is a Tarkosian, coming from the planet Tarko. If you recall, I slaughtered Korm's father because he killed many Trayos Knights in cold blood. Korm swore revenge against the Republic and me. The Republic devasted Tarko after the Tarkosian Uprising, so Korm hated the Republic for that. Korm has the same kind of powers like mine, although he's not as strong as me. He has a brother, Roshanojan. They lead the Rebellion. They have a cousin, Lemai, who is General of their army."

  "Do you have any siblings?" Shane queried.

  "Yes. I have two brothers, Zurok and Darks. They are very powerful and like me, are senior council members of the Trayos Order. They have taken charge of the order in my absence, while the war rages on." Eusebio looked out of the window to spy on the SAS soldiers who had taken the shelter outside to stay.

  The Payload glided silently through the clouds, headed for Korstovok. The agents and the SAS soldiers had already been briefed and were assembling their equipment. Eusebio was in the cockpit with Ingrid and Shane, lightsaber hooked to his belt.

  "When do we reach Korstovok?" Eusebio asked.

  Ingrid glanced at the coordinates and calculated, "We should reach in approximately 20 minutes."

5 Kilometers from Korstovok

  The ramp descended and the two Toyota SUVs roared out into the snowy night, headlights cutting through the darkness like a knife. Due to the fact that the SUVs were fitted with Russian license plates, anybody who saw the cars would not suspect anything.

  Before long, the missile facility was in sight. It was cleverly hidden in the thick brushes and trees of the forest.

...

 A steel door crashed inwards as two guards smashed into it. All the guards in the area immediately pointed their weapons towards the door, tense. Stepping through the door and over the unconscious guards, Eusebio reached for his lightsaber.

  "Drop your weapon and get down on the floor!" One of the guards shouted, finger on the trigger of his AK-47.

  Eusebio smiled and ignited his lightsaber.
