Chapter 1329: Lost In Deep Space

Authorʼs Note: Unedited Chapter

”Looks like weʼre good now,” Endric voiced.

”Not quite,” Grand Commander Shion shook his head as they exited the control room.

”What is it?” Endric inquired with a look of concern.

”I said there was a problem,” Grand Commander Shion reiterated.

At this same moment, he spotted Aildris, E.E, Matilda, Elevora and the others approaching from up ahead with dejected looks.

”What happened guys?” Endric realised that this so called problem wasnʼt related with the darkness following them into the spatial tunnel way... It was something different.

”We lost Angy and Falco,” Aildris announced.

Endricʼs face fell the instant he heard this news.

”What do you mean by Angy and Falco are lost?” A low grumbling voice rang out from behind.

Everyone turned around with guilt filled expressions as Gustav slowly sat up with a fatigued look.

”Big brother,” Endric exclaimed before stepping forward to help Gustav sit up.

”Iʼm fine...” Gustav muttered with a disgruntled tone.

”What did you say happened to Angy and Falco?” He questioned while glaring at everyone intensely.

”...We lost them...” Aildris responded with a low tone.

”How? What happened?” Gustav tried to stand to his feet at this moment but his trembling legs prevented this.

Endric tried to help him sit down but he grabbed his arm, preventing contact.

”I said tell me what happened!” Gustavʼs voice rose in anguish.

”She went after Falco... He got pulled out of the spacecraft the moment we flew into the spatial tunnel,” Elevora spoke.

”It happened when we heard that heartbeat sound twice... It was like Falcoʼs body got moved by an unknown force. Before any of us could react, his body had blasted a hole through the spacecraft and was getting sucked backwards, ” She stepped forward before proceeding to narrate the turn of events.

Elevora mentioned that Falcoʼs body was already heading back towards the entrance of the spatial tunnel when Angy sped out of the spacecraft, through the same hole created from Falcoʼs body.

Since Angy was extremely quick she had turned debris and solid matter from the ninth disk floating across space into a ladder. She reached Falco very swiftly but at the same moment, the ligjt barrier surrounding Planet Ozious shattered.

Angy and Falco were swallowed up by the darkness before they could retrieve either of them.

”We tried but... we couldnʼt get to them... theyʼre gone,” Elevora voice shook as she sofly spoke.

The vicinity turned silent for a few seconds as Gustavʼs face displayed a myriad of expressions.

”How did Falco get pulle...” Before Gustav could complete his question, his face lit up with an expression of realisation.

”The call?” Gustav turned to face Endric as he recalled what happened to his body after he merged with the death angels.

Endric nodded in response.

”Did you know it would happen to him too?” Gustav inquired while lowering his head.

”I was only capable of saving one of you... and I chose you Big Brother...” Endric stated without a shred of remorse.

”You saw it... you saw the premonitions... you could have at least informed someone!” Gustav yelled.

”There was no time. I had to act in the moment I knew what would happen. I had to pick between you or them...” Endric voiced once more but this time there was a subtle hint of regret.

If he was powerful enough he could have tried to save all three of them but he really wasnʼt. In that moment he only had two choices presented before him.

Save Gustav or save Angy and Falco.... He chose to the former.

”Shit! This is all my fault,” Gustav mumbled with a tone of guilt.

”I should have been more careful using the dimensional bracelet... the Death Angel wouldnʼt have gotten into this spacecraft in the first place if it wasnʼt for me...”

”No big brother... If anyone is to blame, its me. I didnʼt see this coming. The second Premonition was not supposed to go this way...” Endric shook his head.

”Second premonition?”

”What are you two talking about?”

E.E and Matilda questioned with conflicted expressions.

Everyone else looked confused as well except for Miss Aimee.

”Itʼs a long story kids...” Miss Aimee feet made low tapping noises as she moved towards Gustav.

She placed her hand on his head and carried his hair gently, ”Donʼt beat yourself up about this. This was the best possible conclusion. Things could have been way worse,”

”They are gone... things are already way worse...” Gustav spoke with an obvious guilt filled tone.

He couldnʼt believe he had once more failed to protect his loved ones and this time Angy was included. What would he tell her parents? Her brother?

He didnʼt know how he was going to look them in the face and say he lost their only daughter... his lover...

Pah!

A small slap reverberated across the place, pulling Gustav out of his reverie.

”Quit mopping,” She stated while slowly taking her hand off his head.

”Ouch...” Gustav winced in pain.

”Theyʼre not dead, are they?” She asked rhetorically.

”Yeah... but...”

Pah!

Miss Aimee gave him another slap on his head.

”Ouch Miss Aimee stop,” Gustav held his head while drawing back.

”Since theyʼre not dead, it means you can get them back. Quit feeling sorry for yourself and start making plans on how to get them back,” Miss Aimee stated once more.

”But theyʼre literally in another dimension now... its not going to be that simple,” Gustav voiced in response.

Pah!

Miss Aimee landed yet another slap on his head.

”Stopppp,” Gustav held his head and shifted away.

”Have you forgotten who you are? Did losing one battle turn you into a coward that is unwilling to do everything it takes to turn an impossible tide around?” Miss Aimee pointed at Gustav while speaking.

Gustavʼs eyes shimmered after hearing this...

”Youʼre right... Theyʼre not dead... so long as theyʼre alive, I can save them,” His confidence visibly returned as his face beamed up.

”Theyʼre still alive...” He muttered once more while standing to his feet.

He could feel his strength slowly returning as his injuries began to regenerate.

Gustavʼs eyes turned focus as he stared at the rest of his teammates.

”We will get them back,” Gustav stated with a tone of determination.

The rest of the group nodded in affirmation. Matilda who had been bawling her eyes out this whole time, cleaned her face as she regained hope.

”But how are we going to get them back?” She questioned.

ʼHow long has it been... it feels like Iʼve been in here forever,ʼ

Within an unknown dark space, a floating humanoid figure drifted forward endlessly. This humanoid figure seemed to be unconscious yet conscious at the same time.

ʼI hear voices... maybe Iʼll wake up soon...ʼ

-”YOUR DEATH ANGELS BROUGHT MY SON BACK TO ME BUT TELL ME... WHERE IS THE LAST ONE?”

ʼHmm... that voice sounds familiar...ʼ The unconscious figure floating tried to listen more keenly to the voices.

-”My Lord... One of them got trapped in the Outworldly Dimension,”

-”SUCH INCOMPETENCE. I EXPECTED BETTER FROM YOU AMIR. NOT ONLY DID YOUR DEATH ANGELS FAIL TO EXTERMINATE THE OUTWORLDLY... YOU ALSO MANAGED TO LOST ONE OF THEM. WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?”

-”My Lord I apologise... We were unaware that the Outworldly had grown to such a level of strength. The Death Angels also lost a lot of their power in the other dimension making it difficult for them to successfully carry out the mission completely,”

-”EXCUSES,”

-”...I apologise my Lord... I can gather a few Vessels to retrieve the lost death angel,”

-”NO. YOU WILL FAIL AGAIN. I HAVE SEEN IT.

-”...”

”WE WILL USE THE EARTHLING,”

-”The one that arrived with My Lordʼs offspring?”

-”WHAT OTHER EARTHLING IS IN OUR REALM FOOL?”

-”...”

ʼEarthling? Who are they talking about? What do they mean by the Outworldly and who is the offspring theyʼre referring to?ʼ The floating unconscious figure had so many questions but in the meantime there was nothing he could do about it.

”We have another problem,” Grand Commander Shion approached the group from the control room.

”Not again,” Endric exclaimed with a tired expression.

”With the damages the spacecraft has taken... the gps and wormhole tracker have both gone offline,” Grand Commander Shion revealed.

”What does that mean?” E.E inquired with a confounded look.

”It means weʼre lost in space,” Aildris responded.

”First we lost Angy and Falco and now weʼre lost in space... this day couldnʼt just get any better,” Matilda said with a tone of self ridicule and dejection.

”It may be night time. We wouldnʼt know since weʼre in space,” Fildhor voiced from the side.

”Youʼre not helping,” Matilda threw a glare in his direction.

”What do we do now?” Sheila questioned.

”We need to get back to earth or weʼll run out of food and die here,” Endric answered.

”Letʼs start with what we can do to get the GPS and wormhole tracker back online,” Gustav stated while getting to his feet.

”Grand Commander, tell the space captains to go into Cnito mode. We need to save fuel instead of travelling aimlessly across space,” Gustav instructed.

”Do you think thatʼs a good idea? Wouldnʼt it be better if we found a conducive planet to land and stay there till we manage to fix everything up?” Aildris suggested.

”Thereʼs no planet for the next two hundred and eighty nine million light years... Weʼll run out of fuel before we could even try locating one,” Gustav shook his head.

”How do you... know that?” Grand Commander Shion asked with a look of bewilderedment.

”Donʼt ask... I just do,” Gustav answered before trotting forward.
