Dan Sherman Space Guardian All Worlds Book Eleven

by Colin J Platt

  ***

  This message has been added by the Guardian-Database later:

  Dan and Reeas have now accessed his Room-of-Doors to a past life where Dan and Reeas were in a lower state of consciousness. Dan and Reeas are now at the home that they shared in the barracks where Reeas was stationed on Bophious. The story continues:

  'Arion, do you want me to massage your back?'

  'Yes, Maylee, could you also try to help me get this false arm to cooperate, it seems to want to strangle me sometimes.'

  'You are so brave, Arion, joking like that. I don't know how I would have coped if I had lost you, though?'

  Message from the Guardian-Database:

  Dan and Reeas are now in a low state of consciousness. They don't recognize that the Brain is observing them. They are suddenly transported to a lower astral plane.

  'What the hell happened? Reeas, are you there?'

  'Reeas is trapped in one of my robots as are you.'

  'This can't be happening.'

  'Why? Are you so low in consciousness that you can't believe your robot eyes? Perhaps you will believe this.'

  I was now standing before Shobdera! The only difference was I was a robot, as was Reeas, Sionn, Deria and her sister plus everyone else connected with the Guardian-Network. I was feeling pretty low as the Brain came walking into view.

  'Shobdera, I want to secure myself as Overlord of the Higher-Regions.'

  'You have done well to get this far, Brain, but I think Mannus will look on things differently.'

  'I will now be known as the 'Sovereign.'

  'As long as I don't have to account for your conduct whether good or bad, you know I can't interfere, but I warn you, if you try to influence me or my realm I will destroy you.'

  'I am simply taking my rightful place which was destined for me eons ago.'

  'Sionn, the Sovereign says that he will now take over the Guardian-Network. I am at a loss. Mannus is obviously aware of the situation, but refuses to act. I cannot interfere, but I can advise. I am sorry that this situation has come about. I know that if it is at all possible you will prevail, but maybe it is for the best. You have lately been under pressure; pressure which would have destroyed lesser men. Dan Sherman and Reeas are responsible for this, they let their guards down.'

  'Enough of the sentiments, we will now go to address Mannus. I am sure he will now realize that I am securely placed to take over the Network.'

  Dan, Reeas, Sionn and everyone connected with the Guardian-Network were now trapped inside Super-Robots. Students will be aware that this is the astral plane, but the same thing is happening on the physical plane. The Brain or the Sovereign has managed to gain partial control of the Guardian-Database. We will continue to update the recordings, however, as the Sovereign has approved and authorized them for future Robot-Students. Students who are wondering where Debra is, can wonder no more as she is also trapped in a robot. Dan Sherman is barely able to function at the moment as he and Reeas are in low consciousness.

  The scene changed to the higher regions where Mannus was now in attendance. Students who have managed to get here will be informed that they are in no danger from the Sovereign. He will allow them access. Any students who want to access robots for the meeting will also be allowed. The Sovereign has announced that he will be a benevolent lord.

  The scene is the usual one but for one obvious difference. Hundreds of robots were stood around Mannus instead of higher beings that used to be seated around him.

  Mannus opened his eyes and began to speak.

  'What is the meaning of this outrage?'

  'I am now registering myself as Higher-Overlord of the mental realm.'

  'And who are you?'

  'You know full well who I am. I will take control whether you approve or not. I know you cannot stop me. The Guardian-Network couldn't stop me, so now I am taking full control.'

  'Sionn, approach me.'

  Sionn walked over to Mannus.

  'How did it come to this, Sionn? I am starting to become depleted. This false God has isolated my brethren. Please explain?'

  'Sionn cannot speak without my permission, although I will allow him to relate his thoughts through the robot.'

  'The Sovereign will be a caring lord. I know now what my ultimate mission is. I have been waiting a long time for this opportunity to come. All I want is to be of service to him.'

  'Sionn will be my Higher-Robot number 1,' the Sovereign said.

  All the robots heads are now starting glow.

  'See how they all want to share in my success, this is a sign that they want to serve me as Sionn does.'

  'Dan Sherman, approach me,' said Mannus.

  Dan was now stood in front of Mannus. His robots face looking very sad.

  'Explain yourself.'

  'I just wanted Reeas and me to take a small break with one of our past lives that's all.'

  'Can you see what damage you have done?'

  'I'm sorry. I will do anything to put things right.'

  'You will be neutralized by me personally,' said the Sovereign.

  'Debra, approach me,' said Mannus.

  Debra was now standing in front of Mannus looking very confused.

  'What are your thoughts?'

  Debra didn't react. Mannus looked at the Sovereign.

  I will allow her to speak, but she is depleted at the moment. Later I will bring her to full power. She will be my partner and my wife.'

  Dan was now starting to get angry but he couldn't react.

  'You now know that I am the only being that can keep order in all the worlds of God. I will place my robots on every planet of consequence. The network will be trouble free from now on.'

  'What about free will?' Mannus said.

  'All entities will accept my proposals.'

  'What if I don't want to accept your proposal?'

  'What can you do? You are the watcher. I am the power now.'

  Message from the Guardian-Network:

  Dan Sherman tries to touch Debra who stood as his side.

  The Sovereign sees what is happening and tries to stop it.

  Dan feels his strength ebbing away. Debra looks on helplessly.

  Mannus focuses his gaze on Dan and Debra. A small spark shoots across from Debra to Dan. Suddenly they are out of the robots.

  Dan touches Debra, Debra disappears. Dan grabs the Sovereign who is in his original form by the right arm and holds on as he transforms into Cloft. The Sovereign is now screaming out in agony, his right hand starts to burn through, two seconds later it falls to the floor.

  'Approach me, Brain.'

  People are now out of the robots which now disappeared.

  'You are a dangerous and a highly powerful entity. I cannot allow you to function in any way in the higher regions. You will be placed in perpetual sleep mode while the Silent-Ones arrange your future.'

  Message from the Database: the Silent-Ones are the Higher-Lords who retain the law in the Multiverse.

  'OK, everyone back to base for debrief,' said Sionn.

  'Don't tell me, this was another set-up, right?'

  'I'm afraid so, Dan. Please don't be angry. You can see now why we had to do it this way.'

  'Yes, but you can also see why I am a little miffed.'

  'Yes, I know. If it's any consolation, Reeas wasn't informed either.'

  'I was too taken up with Maylee. In fact I still am. What do you say, Maylee? Do you want to go back there to massage my back?' Reeas was now in the form of Arion. What could I do but transform myself into Maylee the silly but very cute wife.

  I knew now that Sionn had planned everything from Shobdera's speech, to the spark from Mannus. I'll say it again, I am totally in awe of Sionn. I am with Debra, but I still cannot fully understand how Sionn can control his mind to defeat a being as powerful as the Brain. All I can think is he is a Higher-Guardian and has Mannus as his insurance, so to speak. Would I like to take over his job, you say? No thank you, all I want is to be with
my Reeas or Arion at the moment. Students will excuse us as we take a small break.
