Sam 7

Drivas had almost withdrawn feeling the strength of Sam. She was at the highest level that could be obtained and he was still far ahead of her. Best not anger him she thought.

[Anger?] She heard Sam’s thought interject. [No it’s more like piss me off to the extreme. You really don’t want to do that, not now.]

[All I want is to end hostilities with you Sam. I…] Drivas started.

[You, I have no qualms with Drivas. Neither do I, with you Thellus, though I will defend myself. As I am sure the both of you have felt I am far beyond the both of you. Though I have to admit you are closer to talking with your minds as I do. So they want me to stop? Not going to happen]

[What do we have to do? What can Thellus and I do to stop this,] Drivas asked.

[As I said, have them back off THAT is the only thing that is going to save lives this day.] Sam replied to Drivas.

Behind her Drivas heard Sub-Commander Triot scoff. “Tell him that up to now he hasn’t broken the law. Though if any die there he will be held accountable!”

[I was just told…] Drivas started.

[Yeah, I heard him. know this Triot if I move forward and they attack me then it is on your head not mine. As before I will not start this but I will damn sure finish it. The sad thing? I actually offered to help. The commanding officer that met with an accident decided that I was a threat. Not a wise decision.] Sam told all three of them.

Thantas had to smile as she ‘heard’ everything that was being thought. There was something about this Cliveastone she couldn’t put a finger on. The immunity, the rapid growing abilities. Then there was the fact that he’d only been emerged what two, three weeks? No, there was something definitely different about him, something warmly familiar.

Suddenly Thantas was ‘hearing’ the thoughts of the Cliveastone man Sam. [I don’t know who you are, I know that you are much like I and Raydy. Though she needs to learn more I feel she will grow strong enough soon.]

[I…] Thantas started.

[No, don’t I know that anything you think they will ‘hear’ just listen. I’m not sure if you know but there is a triad once again.] Thantas gasp again as Sam continued. [I am in the midst of building another though I am missing the last planet. I do not wish to though I will destroy the fleet before me. I know they are using you as I feel that what they made you do freed you a bit.]

Again Thantas gasped, this Cliveastone man had already passed much of where she’d been at the start of this centuries ago. Was it possible? He was a full blooded Cliveastone as she’d felt before. It was impossible after all this time yet there he was, plus the fact that he was half again more powerful than she was. Though powering her body up for those few seconds had slightly upped her power. Then there was the fact that he felt like family.

[I would tell you to let them know I am coming though I feel it would fall on deaf ears. I am letting YOU know I am coming to free you soon. I still have to find Mellos Thymp. She holds a few answers I need. Don’t worry I hope to free you soon.] Sam told Thantas.

A sigh went through her thoughts as she felt the energy from this male. As powerful as she was he was more. The gas was the only weapon they had against him, that as she had seen was of no consequence. For the first time in almost five centuries she felt that there was hope. Just the fact that there was a triad again would seriously hamper the IP now. She was sure it set them back at least fifty years!

Sam broke contact with the powerful mind concentrating on Triot, Drivas, and Thellus. [Well Triot? I am waiting, though I am about to move forward. Know this if you declare war on me? I guarantee it will be a conflict that even if you defeat me? I will win in the long run.]

Sighing Sub-Commander Triot nodded as he started to issue orders. Sam was about to start moving forward when the entire fleet turned each ship slipping into hyper-space.

[Perhaps you aren’t as stupid as I first thought you were.] Sam said as he accelerated toward the last of the worlds before the triad corner world.

Landing lightly he saw that the IP had been here also. Looking around he could see that all the grey people here were absolutely terrified. Sighing Sam tried to keep his anger under control. It wouldn’t do to kill a few thousand when he had just arrived.

Might as well as get started he thought. Moving toward the largest city that he’d seen from orbit he was soon met by a huge contingent of gray people.

The throng stopped before Sam with an older looking gray stepping forward. “We were told that a Cliveastone was coming to our world.
