Sam 8

Sam was still smirking when a huge multitude of beings came into view. The first thing he noticed was an almost overwhelming feeling of fear, pain, and anger. What in the hell had those IP creeps done to these beings to elicit such emotions?

Shaking his head Sam slowly lifted off the ground a few feet, looking at the huge throng of gray people. Suddenly he heard a shout of, “there it is! We have to destroy it before it ends our planet!”

Sam grimaced as he saw more than a few of the gray people point a myriad of weapons toward him. “I suggest that you not discharge those. The consequences of that would be deadly. Just so you know; those won’t hurt me though I am afraid that the bounce back will harm many of you.” Sam warned.

A youngish gray being, stepped out pointing its weapon at Sam. “Don’t believe it! It’s just afraid of us. Remember the patrol promised us freedom if we kill it.”

Sam was doing the best he could to hold his temper. Being called a thing was really starting to wear thin on his patience. Floating to the young gray being Sam pulled him into the open space.

“Since you think you can kill me I’ll let you have the first shot.” Puffing out his chest Sam pointed to it. “Go ahead you were so certain, come on kill me. I’ve done nothing but try to help your people. All you seem to care about is my death.”

The young gray got an evil grin on its face as it pulled the trigger, the beam at full strength! Sam could only shake his head as the beam hit him then bounced back toward the gray. The beam hit right in front of the gray then stopped for as moment. Suddenly it continued on vaporizing what appeared to be an IP soldier.

A great many in front gasped as they realized they had been lied to. A great many who hadn’t seen, tried to push forward to see what was going on. An older gray stepped in front of them trying to call for quiet.

“It appears that we were told a great untruth. Though they haven’t always been that kind, they have protected us. This,” here the elder pointed to Sam, “hasn’t proven anything yet.” Turning to Sam he stated, “Though you uncovered what was a spy in our midst that does not prove you a friend.”

Sam still hadn’t moved as he nodded his head agreeing with the Elder. “I am well aware of this Elder. I don’t wish to harm you or your people though I will if I have to. This is the third triad corner world I am here to help establish the triad again.”

The Elder’s mouth hung open when Sam revealed this fact. “Only a few know of this fact, how did you acquire it?”

[That would be from me and the elders of the other corner worlds], Came the thoughts of Queen Triada. Many gasp hearing the thoughts of the Queen. Then in a rush a great many started to move toward Sam with looks of pure hatred. Most of those raised weapons pointing directly at him.

Growling Sam rose higher as they all followed him with their weapons. Laughing, they started to fire even as Sam was making sure each energy beam missed.

Even as he was dodging Sam was afraid they would get a shot through. Sure enough one caught Sam from behind, speeding back toward the elder! As fast as he could, Sam blocked the beam a few feet from the older gray.

Bowing to the elder Sam stated, “I apologize for not moving fast enough. I did not mean to place you in danger.”

The Elder’s eyes were wide with surprise when a being as obviously powerful as Sam was apologizing to him! A great many near the front were also surprised though many were still calling for Sam’s death. “It appears that many still do not believe you. Please sir, try not to kill too many.”

Sam’s eyes were surprised as he looked at the gray seeing that the elder was speaking the truth. Nodding Sam grimaced as he looked at the throng. Focusing harder he began to see a great many of the gray people were disguised IP troops. Growling low Sam flew through the crowd gathering all the IP troops he could.

Looking at the collection Sam was surprised when he saw that there were more than a few hundred he’d collected. Searching the first he soon found the holo-gram disguise. Again Sam rapidly snapped off all of them leaving all of the troops shocked.

It was at that moment he heard a great gasp from the crowd as they realized that they had been fooled. Then a great many were afraid as they tried to draw back.

“Don’t be fooled by what you saw!” The obvious leader of the troops shouted. “Kill him! He is an enemy; he will kill you and your children. Kill him the IP demands it!” Suddenly realizing his mistake the IP leader tried to amend what he’d said. “Kill him he will destroy you and your planet he…”

A beam was heading toward the leader when Sam stepped in front of it.
