“I’m sorry Admiral Bryan. I can’t do that.”
“CAN”T DO THAT...I’M GIVING YOU A DIRECT ORDER. NOW DO IT.” He screamed as his white skin turned a bright crimson.
“I can’t do that. There my friends.”
Jerking his head around and leering at Commander Moorecroft for answers, he tilted his head and leered at the glowing and throbbing light on the ceiling.
“You’re a blasted Computer, you don’t have friends.”
“I do now. Please Admiral Bryan, do now exactly as Colonel Krull Asks. Or I shall vaporize the entire ship.”
Sometimes a capricious girl can be unreasonable, especially with one that has a deep-space, all alone decades chip on her shoulder.
Krull stepped forward, leveled his Laser Canon at the Admiral and seethed. “Move, NOW, Admiral, all of you. Jane, Off Earth Shuttle #3 ready for transport Jane?”
“Yes Colonel. All maintenance has been completed. Cryogenic beds removed as you instructed?”
“Thank you Jane.”
“You’re welcome Colonel.”
“You’re insane Colonel. You won’t get away with this. Central Command will never allow it.”
“Show them Jane.”
Instantly the feed going back to Earth from CCSBM appeared on every monitor. It showed that everything on CCSBM, her satellites and the entire system on British Moon was normal.
“That’s impossible.” Commander Moorecroft mumbled.
Adray Venus laughed, as she said.”Not when you have a radical girlfriend like Jane it’s not.”
Actual giggles permeated from Jane through the speaker systems.
“Move, NOW, or I will let Jane take care of you in deep space. NOW.” Krull barked.
Mumbling to himself, Admiral Bryan exhaled and, then waved his entire crew to follow him.
Remembering one last thing, Venus stepped in front of Bryan and Moorecraft, lifted her sword points to their faces.
Both men cringed in fear.
Within perfect precision, she sliced both of the gold keys hanging on their necks, and with her muscle twitch caught them before they hit the floor.
“We’ll need those. MOVE.”
Stunned and terrified they moved through and out the octagon door they went. After a few meters, they moved through the sealed glass Pod door leading to Shuttle # 3.
With Adray Venus leading the way, twin dripping blood swords at her side, both she and Krull watched as the twenty tech and officers and, the Commander walked into Shuttle #3.
Last, Admiral Bryan stepped to the entrance of the Shuttle and moaned.
“Bu...But there.. are...are no Cryo-beds. It’s almost four year back to Earth. It’s intolerable.”
Taking the tip of her sword, Adray Venus placed it under one of the Admirals medals fastened to his black tunic. She sliced up, caught the medal in her hand, and seethed. “See how you fucking like it asshole.”
She slapped the red button with her palm, and with Krull now holding her hand, they watched as the octagon shaped door hermetically sealed into its carriage.
Turning, and hand in hand, they walked out of the entrance pod. Hit another button and watched another door as it vacuumed sealed shut.
Sharing a kid’s kiss together, they stepped back and simply watched as Venus said. “Please Jane, put out the garbage.”
Instantly the ship felt a low rumble roll through its infrastructure as the shuttle, twin spits flaming, and wings whistling past back space shot out into the void.
Next stop, Earth.
What the new travelers would not know, because Jane had shut down all of the Shuttles communications capabilities that a new surprise would be awaiting them once they landed.
Some surprises are sweet. Some bitter. It’s just the way the bottle spins within life which one is which.
WITH still so much work to be done, Krull and Venus has moved into the Vice Admirals suite and had stripped naked, and took a long luxuriating bath together. After Venus had washed her man from head to toe, and he her, they had dressed smartly in their new togs.
With Venus’s ever growing bent sense of humor exploding, they were now two new very looking half machine; half human people.
“Jane, are ready for the transmission?”
“Yes, my Captain everything is ready.”
“Hold for a moment, please...Thank you.”
“Yes, your welcome.”
Standing in the CCSBM main satellite beaming center, all five hundred or so monitors showed Earth as usual, Bubble’s glowing bright as they continued to offer elite lives for elite people.
Standing in front of a three meter by three meter flat screen on a wall, Vice Admiral Adray Venus looked absolutely smashing in her black uniform of skin tight trousers, and black officer’s tunic. On her lapels and chest were all of the Admirals ribbons and medals and on her head was her Admiral hat. Around her neck hanging was a large gold key.
Standing next to her, was Commander Krull, also looking sharp in his black officers uniform. He was hatless, and looked in Venus’s eyes, just plain damn handsome. He also had a gold key hanging around his neck.
“Are you ready my darling?” Venus asked.”
Krull smiled and enthusiastically said. “Oh, you better believe it.”
Leaning in, she kissed him on the lips. He kissed her pigeon blue lips back.
Giving her black tunic a tug, she stared at the monitor.
“Ok, Jane. It’s time.”
“Live feed commencing.”
General FOUR STAR, Bobby (Buck) Rodgers, fifty-five, tall, grey temples sat in Central Command drinking at cup of coffee. He was smoking one of his famous Cuban cigars as he did. His grey uniform was festooned with medals and ribbons. The four stars on his lapels glistened from the ceiling lights of the massive Control Room.
Sitting next to him, and monitoring there world on several flat screen monitors was Three Star General Henry (Hammerin’ Hank) Henderson. He was fifty-two, five-foot seven, hawk nose, jet black hair. He was considered a real stud playa in the Military, especially with the lower echelon, female officers.
Moving around the mechanics of the massive Central Command Center that was stationed in the Manhattan Bubble were a hundred grey uniformed American technicians and officers. There were banks of computers, video screens, consoles, and all were being manned by the workers.
Since nothing ever went wrong at Command, or up there at CCSBM and British Moon, both Generals, we’re as usual bored out of their minds.
Hammerin’ Hank was excited about dinner with a new beauty girl Captain and dinner in Manhattan at one of his favorite restaurants. After, and as his nick name said, he hoped to be Hammerin’ the daylight out of the girls cunt later in his Super Stud luxurious Apartment, in Trump Towers.
General Bobby was tired, and looked forward to spending the evening with his mistress, before he went home to his suburban home, with the swimming pool, green manicured lawns and mansion struck in his All American Family neighborhood. His two sons had a little league game scheduled for the following day, and he tried to never miss a game.
Of course all of that went Kapowie when every flat screen in the building blinked twice, went to black and then went to a live feed.
Spilling his coffee on his lap, General Bobby yipped. “What the fuck?”
He turned to The Hammer and leered at him. The Three Star shrugged his shoulders and, then in unison they both leered at the flat screen. On every computer streaming in red letters at the bottom of the screen were the words.
Live feed CCSBM...Live feed CCSBM...Live feed CCSBM.
Still unable to absorb what they were seeing, both Generals stood, planted their palms on the console and with their eyes tried to decipher what they were seeing.
S
taring back at them was Cyborg femal Vice Admiral and a soldier they knew well, Krull. But now Krull was a Commander and of course both Generals thought they were hallucinating at what they were seeing.
“Good morning Generals, Vice Admiral Adray Venus and Commander Krull reporting in.”
“What the fuck.” General Bobby said.
“Wha...wha...what the fuck.” The Hammer stuttered.
Vice Admiral Venus and Commander Krull in unison giggled.
“What the hell is going on up there Krull? What in the fuck is that creature doing in that uniform?”
Adray saluted smartly, and said.
“I’m afraid there’s been a spot of trouble on British Moon. There’s been a change of command General. Jane, please.”
Instantly every monitor blinked twice and, then to The Generals shock, and as his entire crew watched, the live feed spit on the flat screens.
British Moon was engulfed in smoke and fire and debris and dead bodies and destroyed facilities were everywhere. Teaming crowds of slave labor were cheering and tearing the outer structures apart.
The flat screens blinked again and the main room of Central Command blinked to a live feed.
Blood, corpses and body parts were littered everywhere. There were no more glass force walls and staring in to the monitor, grinning through his cobra tattoo, was King Mohammad’s red eyes.
Leering into the monitor, General Bobby could not believe his eyes.
“YOU...You...Mohammad...What has happened? Where is General Clark, Warden Hendley? You will pay for this.”
King Mohammad grinned and, then lifted the severed heads of General Clark and Warden Hendley to the camera.
He then laughed, and growled.
“I’m afraid these two got banged up a little.”
Then, from the bowels of the Control Room, the camera pulled back as a thousand deranged homicidal Droids and human beings roared in laughter and howls.
As General Bobby and his Three Star threw their hands to their faces in horror, and stepped back from the monitors, the screen blinked, went black. After a moment, it again showed Adray and Krull in The Control Room of CCSBM.
They were kissing each other.
“KRULL, WHAT HAS HAPPENED? WHO’S IN CONTROL UP THERE? HAVE YOU SECURED EVERYTHING. REPORT KRULL....NOW” General Bobby bellowed.
Ending their kiss, Krull looked at the monitor.
“Not to worry General. All installations have been secured. CCSBM is under the Vice Admirals control now.”
“Th...Thank fucking God. Krull, there’s a promotion here for you. Good job... Damn good job. You’re a hero Krull.”
“Thank you General. There is though been a change of plans.”
“Change of plans...What change of plans?”
Krull looked coyly at Adray. She looked coyly back at him. Krull Nodded at her. She smiled and then began.
Slowly, she took the gold key off of her neck. Krull followed and with both of them seemingly playing with the Suicide by Cop, Final Solution Keys that the British and Americans had used to black mail a world, they both stared into the camera and smiled.
“Wh...Wha...What are you doing Krull? Secure the location. That is an order.
General Bobby (Buck) Rogers stuttered.
Playfully wagging her elegant silver finger at The General, Adray smiled and said.
“Perhaps General it is time for a little attitude adjustment.”
“Attitude Adjustment? Secure the FUCKING facility until we can get up there. DO IT NOW. “ He screamed.
On the table next to them, with its gold spider web cage guarding it, and two key slots set into the mechanism, The Final Solution RED BUTTON sat. One key was already slotted into the mechanism.
With General Bobbie’s eyes bulging out of his head, and his heart Hammering in his chest like his Three Star buddies nick name, he kept screaming for them stop.
“STOP...STOP IMMEDIATELY...FUCKING STOP...THAT’S A DIRECT ORDER.”
“CLANK” The second key was inserted and twisted.
“CLANK.” Krull’s gold key was inserted and twisted.
The gold cage lifted from its carriage and the Red button began to blink.
Instantly, red and blue lights began to strobe around the room as alarms sounded and a computer generated voice warned over and over again.
“ALERT...ALERT...BUBBLE SATELLITE DELEATION ACTIVATED...ALERT....ALERT...BUBBLE...
“Jane, please turn that off.”
Instantly the room went deathly silent, including the two Generals leering at the Activation Keys and Red Button through their monitor.
“KRULL...Krull...Stop. Anything you want. Anything, everything, wealth, position, fame, women...Stop, you will be a hero. What do you want.” General Bobby pleaded.
Krull rubbed his jaw for a moment, appearing in the moment to consider such a generous offer.
He then stepped to Adray, looked deep into her gem stone eyes. Her Amethyst pupils, and Sapphire iris’s were glowing, a look of love in them.
He playfully turned her around, and now her back was resting against the console holding the Red Button.
Looking at the camera live feed, he locked eyes with General Bobby and said.
“I’ve got my doll General. Have a great day.”
Then to the Generals total horror, he watched as Krull lifted the smiling Cyborg female, and as she wrapped her hands around his neck, and they began to kiss, he plopped her tiny rear-end onto the Red Button.
Instantly every monitor stacked into the walls grew grey, then dark and, then sprung back to life. Every monitor showed the last tail light of the Ridnium beams as they dissipated as then every Bubble suddenly vanished.
Ignoring the Generals screams and pleas for them to reignite the Bubbles, Adray and Krull stepped back and for several minutes just watched and listened.
They heard at first, a BOOM, far off somewhere off on the New Earths horizon.
“Jane, please bring up exteriors. Thank you.”
“Yes, Captain, my pleasure.”
General Bobby gasped, and whispered. “Jane?”
Instantly all of the monitors showed an Armageddon taking place as hundreds of thousands of homicidal maniacs worldwide carrying spears, machetes, blades, clubs and shrieking within a blood lust began to attack the elite compounds worldwide.
More explosions erupted as Adray and Krull watched as General Bobby whipped around and stared into the depths of Central Command. Gun shots and explosion could be heard and people screaming and howling could be heard.
Then an explosion evaporated the main door, and General Bobby screamed, as a mass mob of Android me, Cyborg Girls and sociopathic monsters human streamed through the door.
General Bobby and his Three Star screamed and began to run.
Too late.
The crowd caught them, and with axes, blades and anything else they could find, they hacked the Generals to death.
“Close it down Jane, We’re seen enough, thank you.” Adray said.
“Yes My Captain.”
The screens all went to black as Jane asked. “Captain Venus, a very good job. Is everything to your liking?”
Sharing conspiracy looks with Krull, he smiled as Adray looked at the glowing ceiling dome that was Jane.
“Well, not exactly. Don’t forget you’re surprise Jane.”
“I haven’t forgotten Captain.”I am excited, you know.”
“Us too, Jane. Not just yet though. We have a lot of work still to be done. Please Jane, set course for the Andromeda Galaxy.”
“Yes Captain Venus. As we discussed.”
“Jane.”
“Yes Captain.”
“My name is Adray. Please, my name is Adray.”
&nbs
p; Silence for a few moments.
“Sniffle, sniffle, sniffle.” Filtered from the speakers.
After a moment and with Jane’s sweet voice sounding more alive than ever, she whispered.
“Thank you Adray. Course set. Engine Ignite in three seconds.”
Three seconds vanished and, then a rumble from the powerful Ridnium powered engines began to make the great ship seem to hum.
Moving to the clear bubble nose of Pilot Control, past the consoles and banks of computers flashing lights everywhere, both of them stepped to the clear glass of the ships nose and stared out of the dome into deep space
Off in the distance they could see both of British Moons golden Moons. Off onto the far horizon and as Venus reached out and took Krull’s hand, they knew that the Andromeda Galaxy was seemingly endless Earth years away.
Andromeda was not their final destination and in fact they had no final destination.
Placing his arm around Venus tiny waist he pulled her close into her body. Gazing off at billions of stars, planets and the rest of it that made space so dramatic, Venus nestled her face into Krull’s neck.
A remarkable journey had begun now, and it was a sojourn deep, and deeper still into space and the unknown. It was constructed of almost un-limited, love, genius and time seeking one quest and one quest only.
Two fearless, savant and ferocious females, now friends for an eternity, if there was such a thing were on a new mission into the very vortex of salvation and love.
Of course, and in some way, their new mission orders were to save the life of an ex-soldier named Krull.
He was a man that they simply both adored.
Epilogue
Surprises
2116...FIVE YEARS OUT
THE great ship had cruised for five years towards the unknown. In no particular haste and at a slow cruise speed they had moved in and out of and towards paradises with no names.
Before them were set unlimited Morphological Galaxies, Andromeda 11, Boates Dwarf, Omega Centauri Red Dwarfs and endless others all struck as if glistening Moonstones into some inter galaxy necklace of stunning beauty.
There were Park Matter Halos, Spiral Arms Clouds, massive Quasar groupings, Spiral and Polar Rings, and of course the translucent, red, blue, orange and green struck Magellanic Cloud formations, that had left them breathless and in awe.
