A Past new Beginning (The Mission 2)

A Past new Beginning (The Mission 2)
————————————————————————————–

Charles Ricksome jerked awake, the after effect of the time slip still had
him feeling groggy. Now THAT was a hell of a ride! Traveling through the waves of
time was an experience he had dreamed of years ago, when he had been working on his
own time slip device. Looking at the flame red haired, slender, emerald eyed beauty
lying in his arms, he knew the pain he had endured was well worth it.


Giggling, Ally, the ship’s AI spoke up, “We have departed the time slip Charles,
we should be arriving at the Mioan capital world of Aztre within an hour.”
“Thank you Ally, any news from the royal family chambers? You haven’t informed them
yet have you?” Charles asked a little worried about the reception he might recieve
when the emperor found out the princess was pregnant and HE was the father.
“No Charles, I haven’t, they have picked us up on long range though. In order to carry
out the plan, you will have to be in position when we land, so I can transfer you to
the desired place,” Ally replied.


A small door opened near by Charles, “you uploaded all of cici into this storage
unit, with all the specifications I added?”
“Yes, Charles cici is all there and I have to say you are a genius, to make the
modifications to him that you did in as little time as you have. It was breath taking,”
Ally stated.
“Yes Charles,” came from his wrist com, “I dare say that the amount of data you added
has made me much more efficient.”
“I’m sorry cici, I wasn’t able to attach more than 4 brain cells. There wasn’t enough
time,” Charles said wishing he’d could work on cici more, the way he was now he only
had maybe a fourth of what was needed for full emotions.
“It’s ok,” cici responded, “at present I am 25% faster than I was before, much better.”


“I concur,” Ally spoke up, “at present cici is at a level higher than almost all
AI’s in the empire, I think he’s sexy,” this last spoken almost in hushed tones.
Charles shook his head wow AI love, smiling he looked again at Princess Alatem, he
wondered just how long this sleep phase lasted, “Ally status!”
“We are recieving royal requests to answer as soon as the princess awakens,” Ally replied.
“Ally does the sleep always last this long? I have been up for half an hour,” charles
asked a little worried about the baby and Alatem.
“Yes Charles, this is very normal, you on the other hand are what I would say is a
special case. I have never seen any human recover as fast as you did. It may have
something to do with the amount of energy I had to use to remove you from time,” Ally
said as she started to scan Charles to make sure.


A moment later Alatem stirred opening her eyes she smiled up into the only
man she had ever loved or could stand to be near.
“Hello my love,” she sleepily said, “Again I see you are indeed as special as I knew you
were. Your recovery time could be handy for future missions.”
Charles smiled staring deeply into her eyes, damn if he didn’t see the future and the
past there in those emerald pools of love.
“We’ll be arriving in Aztre in half an hour Alatem,” Ally spoke up
Groaning the princess sat up looking at the readouts, “kill joy,” she said elicting a
giggle from the AI.


“Alright, we are arriving 2 hours after we left, with the information we
acquired from our trip you will be placed in the only spot to save father,” Alatem
said, Charles nodded as the princess explained who they were trying to stop.
A beam of light flashed and a man appeared on the roof opposite and in front of where
the emperor and his family would be. The proclamation of the new laws would bolster
the economy, strengthen the empire putting fear into it’s enemies and maybe give
the emperor more time to spend with his family. Sighing he reread the dispatch he
had just recieved, another death threat. Ever since he had started the empire back
to it’s more powerful standing he seemed to get a new one every day.


Where the hell was Alatem? Damn girl taking off again in the time raider, hell
he hadn’t had a chance to go onboard and she’d already had it out twice now! Sighing
again he knew she was going to raise holy hell when she found out about her betrothal.
Gods, she was a wild one, maybe he shouldn’t have appointed her to the time ship
council. Just yesterday she had been mumbling about an attempt on the entire family’s
life, what an imagination!
