Chapter.X – Remember The Forgotten
Story By: Andrew Vargas

“Can you hear me?! CAN YOUHEAR ME!?” Hexental shouted as loud as he could, but Galatica gave no response. “This isn’t good; you both have to make this, especially you Opaque.” Hexental was worried. He had to aid the two injured Irkens and he had not much medical care in his database. He couldn’t go to the Resisty mother ship since he would be attacked on sight, and he didn’t know where the mother ship was.

-Enemies sighted, 600,000 meters away, moving at a 100 meters per second.-

“No! This isn’t good. Galatica, Opaque; hang in there.” Hexental left the two Irkens alone in the back of the room, which wasn’t really too far since the ship Hexental used to get away was a very small space craft. The cockpit was only a few feet away from the two benches where Galatica and Opaque lied on. Galatica was the less injured since she was only in battle for a small moment, but in there to save Opaque from certain death. Opaque on the other hand was in more critical condition than the injuries he had obtained from his battle with Drax. Hexental knew Opaque would probably die, but he tried his best to ignore those possibilities.

-Enemies now in attacking range-

Hexental had no choice but to try and evade all the attacks. He did not know how to pilot an Irken vessel; he had not been adjusted to his new body and did not know how to fully operate it. Only Opaque knew how Hexental’s body would work to its fullest extent.

“This can’t be the end!” Hexental exclaimed in failure. Just then, the ships were obliterated from the sky. Hexental was confused, no other Resisty space ships were even there to help, his only common sense was that their engines were faulty and that is what caused them to explode.

“What luck, their engines must have been damaged during other battles.”

“No. Our engines are the best of the best, but their dodging abilities were no match for my aim."

Hexental quickly turned around to see it was Galatica. She was holding her sides with one arm (where a human’s rib cage would be located at) and another arm on a small electronic pad that had a small wire connected onto the ship. Galatica gave a smile that showed happiness and pain. She had used her pad obtained from her pack to hack into the ships offensive systems and used them to destroy the enemy ships.

“GALATICA! YOU’RE ALIVE!” Hexental exclaimed in shock as if he had seen a ghost.

“I know; I’m surprised too. I thought you would have killed me like I did to you.” Galatica replied still in pain.

“I would have, but you saved Opaque, so I figure that makes us even.” Hexental gave a smart remark.

“Heh, you two are the same.” Galatica then fell onto the floor. Hexental quickly aided her and urged her to stay and rest in the small bench.

“I’m fine Hexental, but what I’m worried about is if Opaque is.”

“To be honest, I’m not so sure myself. He’s been like that since I got you two into this Irken ship.”

“This isn’t an Irken ship Hexental.”

“It isn’t?”

“No. This is a disguised Resisty ship. I can tell the difference. A brilliant strategy, I’m sure it was one of Opaque’s ideas.”

“Does sound like something he would do.”

-More enemies closing in. 700,000 meters away.-

“How many enemies computer?” Asked Galatica

-A small militia of Irken space crafts. Now 600,000 meters away-

“This is no good. This ship has enough energy to fly, but if I use that energy to battle them, we won’t be able to move; leaving us drifting in space. We have no choice to run. Also more bad news, there are no planets near us.”

“There is Earth.”

“You think we’ll be able to make it?”

“I can lend some of my energy to get us there, but my energy could destroy the engine.”

“We have no choice. If we fight, we’ll be sitting ducks if there was another attack. And if we run, we’ll just end up drifting in space and die from the jaws of time. Hexental; do what you have to do.”

“I’ll be in the engine room. I’ll let you know when I’m connected. Ok, hurry.”

“Connected; Galatica, the rest is up to you.”

“Right. Engaging external power mode, using external power mode, engines are go.”

“Are we there yet?” Hexental stammered trying to keep the power stable.

“Almost Hexental; How are you holding out?” Galatica replied in hope.

“I’ve had worse.” Hexental replied with his hopes up.

-DANGER! ENGINES HEATING UP!-

“Arahhhhhhhhhh!” Hexental shouted in pain. The heat was too much.

“Almost there Hexental, almost…”

-DANGER! ENGINES UNSTABLE!-

“Argh!” Hexental shouted again, this time in even more pain, his arm blew off from the engine and so did part of the engine causing a shake in the ship.

“Are you all right Hexental!?” Galatica turned her head back to look at him regenerating his new body.

“Keep….going…” Hexental replied.

“We’re in the Milky Way!” Galatica said in higher hopes.

Boom! ZzzZzt! The ship again gave small explosions, this time it was a big one. The explosion freed Opaque from his resting area into an escape pod that had no power at all. His tall body hit the eject button closing the door of the escape pod and launching him into space with the ships last ounce of energy.

“NO!!!! OPAQUE!” Hexental and Galatica both shouted in fear.

“GO BACK, WE HAVE TO SAVE HIM!” Hexental ordered Galatica.

“We can’t. The launch of that escape pod used the ships last power. We have no control of the ship.” Galatica replied with sorrow.

“You mean...there’s nothing we can do!” Hexental shouted again at Galatica.

“Nothing but prepare for a crash landing. If we’re lucky, we’ll….crash….on….Ear…” Galatica fainted. Her wound got worse and she could not stay conscious anymore. She fell onto Hexental’s arms instead of the fiery floor.

“Dammit! Opaque, I’m sorry. Please, forgive us.”

The ship Hexental and Galatica were aboard crash landed about 80 miles from Opaque’s base on Earth. Hexental remembered where their base was and decided to take care of Galatica until she recovered. Galatica had been knocked out for 3 weeks since their crash. She had been slightly injured from the crash since Hexental shielded her upon impact. Hexental always wondered if Opaque was alive, if he himself had regained consciousness when Galatica awoke. When Galatica awoke, she had lost her will to speak. She would only reply to Hexental with facial expressions and whimpers. Hexental knew what was on Galatica’s mind, and that was Opaque. Month’s passed. They had been deserted on Earth due to lack of technology. One day Galatica spoke, she told Hexental that she’ll find Opaque if it takes her all eternity. The next day she was missing. She had devised a space craft using stolen technology from all over the world. It was broadcasted all over the world. Hexental was puzzled why she left him there on Earth, that is, until she found her note. In the note were an apology, a thanks, and an explanation of why she had left him there. Hexental understood, but was still furious. Sadly enough, she was right, someone had to stay behind just in case Opaque were to return.

Opaque’s escape pod crash lands on a planet named Teynkah; light-years away from Earth. There are many species that live on that planet. The pod he was in crashed in one of the planet’s festival. No one was killed, only slightly injured. They rushed him into their medical facility. It was no use, Opaque had died 3 weeks ago, 10 minutes after the battle with the two tallest and the supreme Irken ruler. The people had heard of an Irken who had rebelled against the Irken Empire. They knew that it was him. Also his description matched him. They decided to give Opaque a funeral and bury him into their heroes section. After his burial, they had made a special tombstone for him which inscribed, “An inspiration to rights of the living, Here lies the savior Irken”.

Six years have passed, and during that time, a new evil had risen. The last Irken tallest formally known as Kat was the ruler of the universe. She had complete power over everyone thanks to the Irken Imperial Gem. The Resisty had succeeded to end the Irken Empire, but not Kat. They still exist now opposing a new enemy.

It was a very stormy night on Teynkah. There, something had risen from Opaque’s grave. An Irken with one black colored eye lens and a Red eye lens. He had no emotion. His red clothing dirty from the dirt and dust he had risen from. He looked to his hands and spoke.

“I’m……Alive?”
