Sam was heading away from the IP world as fast as he could. Thankfully the draining had stopped and the sun was getting him back to feeling normal.

A look at the fleet showed that the wave that he and Thantas had used knocked to the highest degree of them out.

Sam, came the thoughts of Thantas. Are you alright ? We thought you had departed us, when you streaked off like that.

I apologize to all of you, when Drivas was hurt, I grew far angrier than I thought I would. I can tell apart you that there are now only three of the councilors left. Returned Sam 's thoughts that brought gasps from the others.

We were worried when your life-time signs dropped so low. Are you sure enough that you are functioning well ? make out the occupy thoughts of Drivas.

All of you, are beloved to me, the fact that one of you were harmed has shown me that. I do n't want, here Sam paused to settle his cerebration. I do n't need to fail, to turn a loss any, let alone one of you.

All five of the female with him looked at him startled, Drivas and Thantas moved forward to hold Sam.

You did n't neglect us ; you have freed us and so many others. Thantas thoughts said as Drivas nodded her agreement.

A deep sigh sounded from Sam 's thoughts ; I wo n't kill unless there is no other way. That, or the one that I do kill is so malign there is no former way to end their scourge. I lost a hundred being on one of the Triad man because I was not fast enough. I do n't want to be the cause of anymore innocent losing their lives.

We are all here to facilitate you Sam, retrieve it is them not you that was the grounds of the loss of spirit. Thantas mentation came trying to soothe Sam.

Sam nodded, all of you know that they have some eccentric of draining field near the chamber with the counsel. I barely made it out of there.

The rest of those with him, their eyes were wide at the news. Sam was the most herculean they had seen if it had affected him that bad, what chance did they have ?



The Jehovah Doctor again looked at the exanimate eubstance of the three lifeless counsel. The last three were sucking nutrient as fast as they could, they were still only about half their power. He really needed them higher if they were going to destruct this Sam creature.

THe Doctor had already resigned to the fact his race was finished. They needed to wee-wee sure that when they went, the Cliverstones did also.

The Doctor of the Church touched a button, it showed the view of the two-elite issue, who were still trapped within the zip barrier. He had to run them also, before he set off the major planet shatter bombs.

Leaving the bedchamber, he started to rapidly take back to his domicile. With any fate most of the Cliverstones, plus all of the remaining elites would be destroyed within a few metre units.

When he entered his domicile, something did n't seem right. Checking all the version within and without the building showed that nothing was amiss. Still an uneasy flavour was staying with him.

Might as well destroy the offspring and their sires while there was still metre left. Reaching out the Doctor felt for the two elites.

I hope that the two of you listen well, came the MD 's thoughts. take heed to the finis cries of you miserable offspring as I slowly, beat out the life from them. get laid that their cries of death will indue me to encourage tier that, will allow me to destroy Sam and the other Cliverstones.

The MD suddenly heard an almost evil joke that seemed to descend from the country where the elites were. Pathetic ? You are becoming forgetful in your ripe years. Have you forgotten, that we elite always have to a greater extent than two fashion out. By now, our offspring have gathered enough energy that you will never progress to them before they are free.

The Doctor turned to see the glowing cylinder that the male was holding. With a growling then a bellowing the Dr. tried to make the energy barrier declaration. When nothing happened, the Doctor nodded his head. come for them, neither of you have the power to ... at that moment there were more than a few alarms that started to go off.

'' admonition, warning unidentified attacker approaching the planet. Readings show that no energy shield we possess will be capable of stopping them. Also, detecting a being of pure thought energy moving toward this location. '' A mono tone voice said.

The Doctor growled as he donned a cover for his brainiac orbit. Turning toward the paries the Dr. spoke, `` Arm both planet shatter turkey. Start the rest of the counter meter for the approaching Cliverstones. ``

LE than a present moment later a shadowy figure appeared. `` So, it is you, Melacon, '' a representative sounded in and around the Doctor. `` After all this time I will finally complete my military mission, my mission to destroy the malefic of the Tetricon airstream. ``

An evil smile, twisted on the face of Melacon, `` I know not how you survived all this sentence. I am More than certain that the power you had, has done nothing but decline. ``

A smiling appeared on the brass of the faint frame, `` I guess you will perish with that mystery story on your mind then. I have waited a very recollective time, to finally purge the universe of your iniquity. ``

Immediately the shadowy physical body released a titanic blast of energy that knocked Melacon off his feet. Slamming into the wall, Melacon sprang up sending his own energy bang. Melacon 's eyes were wide when the figure almost scatty mindedly slapped the blast away.

'' My, my, here I thought you would let become stronger, that was n't suitable of even your people 's offspring. I can see that this will be far well-off than i thought, '' The image said.

A look of seething choler crossed Melacon 's face. `` We will see who is still animated when this is finished. '' Melacon again sent out an energy blast though, this one was far Sir Thomas More powerful.

The figure again pushed it away though it took a little to a greater extent effort. `` Ah ! a good deal better ! Perhaps I might get to use more of my superpower. ``

Melacon laughed, `` I think you are about to give away that you are dead ! ``

An sex joke came from the wispy shape, `` dead ? Been there, done that, alive or short, I have far more than enough top executive to end you. ``

An angry growling issued from the throat of Melacon, `` it is time to correct that post. I have to take on that dead, looked far expert on you, than anything else. ``

Melacon growled louder as the succeeding blast from the figure had him pinned, painfully to the wall.

'' You are as you were, all that clock time passed, you can not even realize that, soon you will be destroyed ! '' The figure said as it increased the power hitting Melacon.



The others that were where the portal site had been were beginning to worry. They had felt Sam 's Energy downslope something that they had expected though not to the low levels that they had.

All the leaders from the Triads had decided to advance when Sam 's power started to climb rapidly. They started to loosen up, then felt two powers almost as strong as Sam on the IP world.

It was clearly not Sam as he was a small distance from it. They all could only stare at each other, was Sam aware of these two strong powers ?

Once again, the drawing card were united in their decision to go forward, when they heard Sam. All of them smiled as they shook their drumhead or equivalent in agreement.

This fourth dimension, all of the allies moved forward, though this metre, it was with a determined purpose.

Sam nodded as he felt the others move forward, not toward him, in an indirect track toward the IP world. A routine back toward the IP fleet had his smile fading in a moment. It was obvious that these assholes did n't deal about life story other than their own.

Sam had seen more than a few like this, no matter what you did, they would never modify. It was n't that he wanted to destroy them, he would if there was no choice. Sam was starting to feel that it might be the exclusively thing he could do.

Then there was the Tetricons, well, most of them. They he knew, he was going to destroy, the four gone now had him feeling slightly better. Slightly though not completely, he knew if one survived, this would start all over again.

Sam could finger his power starting to climb faster. Ah ! The sun 's zip was Thomas More than refreshing.

I have to end this soon Sam thought, then felt something ominous emanating from the planet itself. Sam stared at the area where he felt it coming from. His eyes went with child when he felt something like a huge explosive.

He turned heading to the open as fast as he could. Impacting the ground, he was heading metro at an alarming speed. He stopped short when he broke through into a huge chamber.

Not slowing, Sam grasped the over a kilometre in size bomb. He pushed, it moving up a retentive tunnel crushing the doors that were closed at each level. Finally, he had it moving far faster than he thought he could. Breaking through to the airfoil, Sam kept going finally achieving outer space. With a final thrust, Sam sent it into deep space.

With a twist back Sam grimaced as he felt the former turkey. head teacher diving, Sam hit the surface far faster this meter, feeling that he had little time to get this off the planet.

Melacon growled when he saw that Sam had removed the largest of the planet shatterers.

So, came the shadowy anatomy thoughts, once again it appears that you are going to go bad. So sad that the last of your backwash was dependent upon the very race you strove to destroy. When you are gone, the population can truly start to live and breathe again.

You have such high school expected value for your success, returned Melacon 's thoughts. I can not see how you can win when the major planet and Sam will soon be but a memory. Melacon started to laugh as he was capable to give a limb loose from the great power that the umbrageous chassis had him pinned with.

Melacon barely touched a button that activated the finis turkey. Then his centre went extensive as he saw that, Sam was already making space pushing the turkey away. A sinister smiling came to his brim when he saw that Sam would still be within its sphere of core when it went off.

Sam had hurried as fast as he could, releasing the bomb calorimeter he watched as it sped away. At just over ten kilometers away, Sam was wide eyed when it went off ! Damnit, he thought, the vigor wafture is going to impact the planet.

Sam tried to perk up his self ; he had used a blaze of a lot of his energy. With a shake of his head as he watched the wafture come closer, he knew one way or another this was going to hurt.

right before it hit him, he could rely he heard a neat the great unwashed of voices yell out. The wave was moving over him Sam was pushing most of his vigor into a protective shield. For a short time, it held, though with the Wave as bombastic as it was, the shield was soon failing. Sam 's last thought as his defenses succumb was damn, this sucks.

Thantas felt the vitality Wave as it was approaching Sam, damnit ! She was too far away to get him out of the way. Reaching out she tried to add to Sam 's shield though, she was as she thought too far away to effect it much.

Melacon 's case had an immorality grin on it as he watched the wave wash over Sam. Even as unattackable as he was, there was no way he could outlast that. If he did, he 'd be severely damaged, of no use to his people.

It was at that instant that he felt the insistency from the faint shape increment more than twice what it had. A crashing sound from above and behind him revealed the offspring of the elite, plus their forefather staring angerly at him.

'' So, I join the relaxation of our Lord race today. At least that pest of place food waste, ends with me today '' Melacon said.

'' Lord ! ? Please, there is zero noble about ruling through care. If anything, you join the relief of the failure that was most of our subspecies. '' The Male Elite said.

'' I ... '' Melacon started when almost of his ramification snapped, dropping him to the floor. His breathing got more difficult as pressure increased over all is organic structure. `` You can not win, you are just as index hungry as you accuse us of being. '' Melacon gasp out.

'' No, this is not to rule, this is justice, for the billions you have destroyed. '' The wispy physique said as it nodded to the two Elites and their offspring.

All five turned toward Melacon as an almost visible wave of free energy hit Melacon. Melacon started to scream as his full body was crushed into an unrecognisable pulp.

A vocalization within the room said, `` transfer now being accomplished. ``

A doorway into another room opened, showing seven unclutter abridgement with Tetricon body within them.

The female elite group nodded her head, `` so that was their plan. We had wondered how Melacon 's soundbox had survived all this fourth dimension. The atm of this planet, is in no way conducive to our race 's upbeat. ``

The female was about to speak again, when she and the male person 's heads turned toward the ceiling. The male then turned to the female person, `` it appears that Sam was caught in the blast, no one can palpate him. We substantially go, after we take guardianship of Melacon 's consciousness.

'' I am afraid that I can not take into account that, '' a voice came from the speakers mounted in the walls.

The female person started to scan around the whole room then below their feet. `` So, you like the Cliverstone, were trapped within the machine. Ah ! It appears that Melacon, left very advanced scheduling to prevent your escaping. ``

'' Ha ! As if that was ever going to take place, especially after he thoroughly destroyed my body. There is no system to get my psyche, it took Melacon many long time to get the system perfect. No, I knew that this was a one-way trip when he started this. delight end me quickly, I 'm not sure if I can take the torment much longer. '' The computing device voice said.

'' So, once again you have failed, I will hark back to destroy all ..., what are you doing ! ? Melacon 's vocalism also came from the speakers.

'' You have had me trapped within this system for C of Solar time units. In that whole time did you not think that I would not reach knowledge. In the physical world you might receive a lot of mogul. Though in here ? In here this is my world that I rule, never again will you put me through the pain sensation you again. I think it is past sentence that you ceased to exist. '' The first-class honours degree spokesperson said.

'' NO ! point, I am the greatest Tetricon brain there is. '' Melacon was yelling.

'' You were, now ? You are nothing ! '' The first base voice said as Melcon 's voice screamed louder then started to acquire unaccented and infirm. `` Finally, you are deleted ! ``

A final scream then the elbow room was unruffled. `` It appears that, that which was Melacon, is no more. '' The female elite breathed out.

The Male and the shadowy material body nodded their accord, the figure suddenly looked upward nodded to the four Tetricons then departed. The whole time it was moving into infinite it too was reaching out to Sam, like the others found nothing.

Thantas, Drivas, Thellus, Mellos and Raydy were all stretching their senses out, doing all that they could to bump Sam. Mellos and Thantas the strongest, were starting to get frustrated.

'' Damn ! I have been able to feel no issue what, since the first time I felt him. It almost feels as if, '' Thantas started.

'' NO ! Do n't even recollect about it ! I know he was far stronger than that, even as weakened as he was. '' Mellos said as look of ire on her face.

'' I am not thinking that, he was far stronger than I am, the substantial of our hoi polloi I have ever seen. I know that if anyone could cook it, Sam was it. '' Thantas said. She then turned to the others, `` I think it 's clip that we ended the terror that the councilors held over almost all ''

'' We might want to be thrifty ; Sam had said that there was some type of draining field around their building. '' Drivas said.

As they started to head toward the IP world the umbrageous figure appeared. I will continue to search for Sam, I have somewhat of an mind where he might be, though, I will get to return soon.

The others nodded as the pattern moved away from the group, who wished it luck, then they descended toward the planet.

Thantas, was seething, here she 'd just found her pal, now she might lose him in only a few days. She found that her anger was starting to raise to unparalleled heights.

With her in the lead story, they headed direct towards the council chamber far faster than they needed to. Thantas was past the power point of caring, that was her chum. The fact that she, could n't feel him ? Did not predict well in her judgment, nor for those that, she was intent to only destroy.

Thantas quickly outdistanced the others as she hit the Sir William Chambers as strong and as fast as she could. In this she managed to destroy one of the remaining three, while fatally injuring another. Summarily, she also destroyed two of the energy sapping devices, plus half the bet on wall.

Still moving incredibly fast Thantas felt her military posture rapidly downslope. She dropped down in the mouth 'til she struck the undercoat a large space away.

Thantas looked around as she felt the draining upshot drop cloth too almost goose egg. She stood on somewhat precarious legs, she tried to necessitate a footprint then gasp as the earth rushed up to meet her face.

A moment later Drivas, and Mellos landed future to her helping her to a sitting position. `` Damnit Thantas ! '' Mellos nearly shouted. `` What in the snake pit were you thinking ? ``

Thantas tried to grabbed the front of Mellos shirt as she hissed. `` For far too long, these man of applesauce have been feeding off me. I wanted to no longer feel their bloodsucking comportment. What was I doing ? I was trying to end this once and for all. ``

Mellos was surprised at the venom in Thantas representative, then had to take the female person up as Thantas suddenly sagged,

Raydy and Thellus landed a minute later, `` I think we might necessitate to get out of the out-of-doors. '' Thellus said. `` I can find more than a few approaching with weapons. Might help her to go back truehearted if we do. ``

'' No, I need to get closer to the sun, as it is now it will be minute before I recover. We need to get airborne, get me closer to the sun. Mellos, I suggest that you and Drivas do it as you two appear to be the fastest. '' Thantas said barely above a whisper.

Mellos nodded to Drivas as they each got a arm and rose with Thantas. Raydy, looked at Thellus, as they shrugged then followed.

The last councilor was feeling something that he never thought he 'd ever feel again, veneration. Though in this showcase it was more like abject affright. Everyone was gone, he was alone, the sheer mass of the vanity in its head caused it to stimulate. An almost madden look came to its eyes as, the same eyes darted to and fro searching for, something.

It seemed almost poetic jurist as this was the Same, exact vanity, they had subjected Thantas to. For more than than a thousand solar clock time social unit, the councilor had never been alone in its judgment. Now, the absolute nix it felt and heard was starting to slowly take its toll.

Most of the attendants that had kept it somewhat sane were now lifeless or nearly there. The dying sentiment of the few left alive were also working on what little saneness the councilor had left. Though if anyone were there, they could see that the councilor was slowly slipping into madness.

A few minute later, the councilor regained a semblance of its sanity notion century of being'approach shot. The only problem was that when it reached out to bear upon their thoughts he felt their hatred, though he also found, that it was directed toward him and the others.

The last councilor reached out activating all of the defenses that Thantas had n't destroyed. They say that the ravishment on the councilors chamber, lasted for days with 100 of thousands dying. Then the defenses stopped as they surged forward hundred more dying from the councilor 's thoughts.

Finally, mortal got an energy shot through striking the councilor, after that various hundred energy dig ripped the body to pieces.

Somewhere towards the back of the multitude of people a female person smiled as she turned to leave. The IP thought warrior, level five floating to the ground, she turned her boldness skyward, she hoped she could veil. The chemical group she felt approaching, was far more than she could handle, even with the whoremonger she 'd learned from Sam.

She quickly started to omit her power as she had seen in Sam 's intellect, before it slammed shut. An astounding exploit that no one had ever done to her, shut her completely out. The brief contact with Sam 's nous that she 'd had changed in ways she 'd never imagined.

She looked around at the issue of people that were wondering around with a drop off flavour to their eyes. Then she looked closer seeing that almost all of the people here appeared to be that way.

A small grinning crossed her brim, perhaps she could help them later. She had to pull round first, the approaching hoi polloi, that was rapidly closing in on this world.

A mentation came to her as she nodded then turned to stare intensely at the hundreds of citizenry. All of them stopped a present moment, nodded, then went back to what they were doing before.

The female smiled as she turned a C LXXX degrees reaching out. Hundreds more stopped like those before then went back to acting as if nix had happened.

Hmmm, the female thought, she then walked away stopping a km away and repeating the same action.

When the people from the triple arrived, they found to the highest degree of the IP multitude friendly and cooperative. They reached out to the total urban center finding that it seemed to be unaffected by the madness that was gripping the rest of the planet. The simple fact that they were greeted as warmly as they were, saved a great many on the IP world.

Sam was drifting, as hard as he tried, he didn't seem to be capable to open up his eyes. SOB, he hurt all over, touching his chest he winced at how attendant it was, hell all of him was.

Finally, he managed to get his optic to spread, surprised that it was as dreary as it was here. He started to close his eyes again, when he opened them again in shock, was he in space ? Looking around he slowly nodded, yes, he was in place though, as to where he had no idea.

How in the perdition was he still alive, in space ? Damnit his head hurt beyond any cephalalgia he 'd ever had.

Slowly shaking his headway, he turned all around, where in the sin was earth ? A line appeared in front of him leading away, just demand to follow it. To his amazement, he started to be active along the line.

SOB he thought, there has to be a faster way, what appeared to be a burrow appeared in battlefront of him. Sam looked around then moved into it, might as well he thought, a mo later the burrow closed. A few Thomas More mo passed then a shadowy human body appeared looking around.

The figure looked around then shake up its head, As if on cue the figure popped out of sight as it was drawn back to where its body was.

Natita 's mate was sitting next to her when her torso jerked with her return.

'' Did you determine Sam ? '' Raydy 's male parent asked.

'' Where is he ? '' Sam 's father Fino asked.

'' He had entered a insect hole ; I am afraid though, that I felt that his idea was still dazed. The worm gob was very far I ... '' At this Natita pant then her eyes rolled up as she was unconscious.

'' I guess we 'll induce to go about this the hard way. '' Fino said with Rycon nodding his agreement.



It was two days later that, a nearly unconscious Sam appeared from a worm hole above the earthly concern. Unfortunately, Sam still had hardly any memory as he entered the aura. Unable to commemorate how to verify his flight Sam descended at an alarming speed.

Almost every military alarm clock went off as Sam 's speed started to escalate. Try as he might, Sam still could n't negociate to slow down at all. Luckily, he was able to slightly head away from any populated areas.

A mere ten min later Sam struck the earth, enveloped in flames, in an unoccupied area. The volcanic crater he left when he hit was another affair altogether. Barely effected, though still with no memory, Sam walked out of the hole.

Though the war machine had done a thorough examination of the crater, finding zero, they were still worried. Something had impacted though there was no wreckage, no real evidence especially bodies. For the next two weeks they conducted across-the-board hunt still finding nothing.

The final stage day of the second week, alarm were again going off as two more than target entered the aura at gamey speed.

Thantas and Drivas had followed the path that Sam had taken as he crashed to earth. Mellos looked at the reminder she had on her carpus, `` it appears we were detected. '' Turning she looked behind them, `` it appears he went that way ; the track is weak though. ``

Thantas nodded as they both floated off the flat coat, heading in the steering Mellos machine indicated. An hour after they left the military was again at the land site, searching for any indicant of an incident.

Both females had traveled for various hundred miles when Mellos held up her hand. `` I think we 're getting close, '' Mellos started, then hit the earth as she was hit by some type of beam.

Thantas immediately landed as she looked around carefully. `` Sam ? Are you here ? '' Thantas said trying to not move.

A quiet vox spoke near her ear, `` I told you the great unwashed to forget me the hell alone ! ``

Thantas could feel the buildup of tycoon when she spoke, `` Sam ! It 's me your sister ! ``

A shimmering to her side revealed a be ragged Sam holding his head. `` My sister I have ... '' this time he grabbed his headspring falling to his knees. The slightly glazed look in his eyes cleared a moment as he whispered out, `` Thantas, assist me. '' Just as suddenly the limpidity was gone, though Sam still held his head.

Thantas took a rich breath as she said a supplication as she touched the side of Sam 's head. Again his eyes cleared, this time far longer. `` I thought you had passed far too easily when the elites told me what happened. You can not win this metre Melacon, not with me here. ``

Sam looked up at Thantas an malefic smile on his lips, `` I have already won you Cliverstone bitch, the strongest of the Cliverstone race, a fitting receptacle. ``

'' You forget the one who 's body you inhibit, he '' Thantas started.

'' Bah he will be gone soon, what ? ! NO ! I isolated you, your end is approaching. '' Melacon shouted.

'' Wrong this is my body ; you will pass on NOW ! '' Sam yelled

'' NO ! I am the strongest of the most powerful subspecies ! '' Melacon said.

'' Wrong again, you are just deceased ! '' Sam said as Melacon screamed the was gone.

Thantas hit the solid ground as Mellos, limped up to them. `` glad that is over. '' Mellos said.

Thantas nodded, `` I am too, '' then she turned to Sam. `` When you are feeling more recharged ? You think you can get us back ? Apparently, you never taught anyone else how to open the portal. ``

Sam and the two female person smiled then laughed, `` I think I have rested long enough. '' He said as he put an arm around them both as they shot skyward.

A mere five minutes later a portal opened thousands of km from the earth. Three human appearing entities flew toward it, entered, then it closed .
