A Pentagon-shaped spacecraft with the Tarks' emblem drifted across space with incredible speed.

The twinkling, icy glows in the distance, gave that part of space a surreal beauty. It was the only source of illumination around there as dark matter spread as far as the eyes could see.

A few space rocks were scattered about the place but the spacecraft streaked forward undisturbed.

The spacecraft cut a blazing white line through the space in front of it, obliterating the rocks in its path.

Within the spacecraft, the passengers remained strapped to their seats as they vibrated constantly, emitting a blinking yellow light in the control room.

"Okay, so where exactly are we going now?" Ria realized he had never asked until that moment.

"Well, did we tell you about the time we visited Xelios Tower?" Endric questioned from the side.

"You two visited Xelios Tower?" Aildris was in disbelief while Ria was completely clueless.

"That's how we got information about how to get to the other side," Endric answered while trying to sound spooky.

"I thought that place was just a legend... to think it truly exists," Aildris replied deep in thought.

"What is this Xelios Tower?" Ria questioned.

"It's a place that can get you the answers to any question... but usually the price is hefty. Most times, impossible to pay," Endric explained with a solemn tone.

"Isn't it just cash?" Ria voiced with a clueless look.

"No," Aildris and Endric stated at the same time.

"Chill," Ria moved his neck backward in startlement.

Aildris turned to face Endric once more, "So they told you how to get Falco and Angy back?"

"They told us where to head and what to do after we got there to gain access to bring them back. That is where we are headed now," Endric answered once more.

"Does that mean we will finally get to pay back those monsters for ruining IYSOP and destroying Planet Ozious?" Ria questioned with anticipation.

"No," Endric shook his head.

"Why? This is our chance for a payback," Ria voiced with confusion etched on his face.

"You don't know, do you?" Endric turned his seat around to face them.

"Know what?"

"The reason Gustav doesn't want any of you two there is that, the other side is a lot different from our plane. This means that the strength of creatures from there wouldn't be dampened. They will be able to use their full power," Endric explained in a grave tone.

Ria's eyes widened in realization, "That wasn't their full power?"

"Not even close," Endric answered.

Ria recalled the Death Angels corroding everything in existence with just their presence, being unkillable and incredibly powerful. There was an explosion at the back of his mind when he realized that they would be way more powerful on that plane.

"Not to mention that our strengths would have been dampened..." Endric's revelation caused Ria to gulp saliva.

"Thankfully, Big Brother knows how to counter that," He added. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

"So we're not going there to fight..."

"Not at all. We're only going to get our friends back. If we have any luck, we won't need to face any creature from there," Endric pointed out.

"How are we gonna do that?" Ria didn't see how it was possible to not encounter any being from there.

"Because the access point will be taking us directly to the people we're searching for. It's possible we could encounter beings from that plane, but if we act quickly, it's also possible that we won't...

 Within the vicissitudes of space, a platform shaped like a syringe, floated in place giving off an imposing aura.

From afar, it seemed very tiny, almost like it could be overlooked and missed. However, the moment one drew closer, the size underwent an unbelievable change, becoming incredibly massive and eye-catching.

Lines of white light surrounded it on all corners as it radiated in such an indescribable manner.

Spacecrafts flew into the perimeter and vanished as soon as they got bathed in the white lines of light it emitted.

Within the heart of this structure, was a sort of assembly point.

The interior looked so masterfully erected that one would think they had entered a higher dimension. The surroundings were bathed in inklings of starlights and the assembly point was structured in a circular format with smooth surfaces forming a spiral.

They were like stacks upon one another and they got smaller the higher one went.

In the middle of each circular stack, stations that looked like pulpits protruded from the bottom all the way to the top.

Thousands of those pulpits also represented thousands of extraterrestrial species who stood before them to represent their various planets.

Planet Phixiq, Planet Diaporonian, Planet Draconet, Planet Ozious, Planet Hixto, Planet Diov, Planet Tronvida, Planet Oxlrk, Planet Tribetes, Planet Ghundabault, Planet Xillion, Planet Klaxosape, Planet Torin, Planet Cirus, Planet Osiris, Planet Orion, Planet Ustanbid, Planet VA, Planet Roidinstack, Planet V#B, Planet Qivendale, Planet T429 and so many other that participated in IYSOP were all represented there by various extraterrestrial parties.

Every being there oozed indescribable power that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary folks. At the top of the circular structured stacks, nine out of ten pulpits were occupied, leaving the last one empty.

The beings at the top got to look down on the others that were spread across the ethereal-looking vicinity.

"We don't want him killed. The bounty on him should remain the same as before. Wanted alive," General Chell addressed the alliance from the top of the stack.

A few murmurs could be heard from the surroundings but they couldn't refute. It was Earth's decision and they had all decided to honor it.

They continued with the meeting after a few moments...

~"Ekurla are qun coq viws it..."~

One of the beings at the very top of the circular stacks spoke in a language that no human would be able to understand.

Fortunately, every being present within this structure had their translation devices equipped. So, despite the differences in languages between extraterrestrial species, they could hear one another.

"The universal fugitive was last spotted in the Xelios Tower. He was lost before the alliance could get to him," The extraterrestrial being who was among the council of the alliance leader, voiced loudly.

"We need as much information as we can get to understand his motives and movement to capture him. Our forces are spread too thin... you lots have to volunteer warriors from your planets to join the alliance corps," The extraterrestrial being who represented Planet Draconet chimed loudly.

A glowing light appeared above that read 'OZIOUS'. Everyone peered in the direction of the Planet Ozious representative who happened to be Vilax's father.

It was quite the fall from grace for them because usually, they'd be at the highest circular stack with the others.

"Planet Ozious?" One of the alliance leaders voiced.

The pulpit before Handler Three emitted a white glow which gave him the go-ahead to speak.

"The information on the universal fugitive is not up to date," He announced with a tone of certainty.

"What do you mean, not up to date?" General Chell questioned with a look of concern.

The other alliance leaders were just as curious after hearing that.

"The last time Gustav Crimson was spotted... not spotted..." Handler Three paused for a bit.

"Gustav Crimson didn't leave the Xelios Tower alone. He left with a group... a group that included my son..."

~Mummurs~ Mummurs~

Handler Three went on to narrate the turn of events dating back from when the Oxis group went with Gustav in search of Siefling to when they found him and all they had to do to save their lost people. He didn't leave out the part about Gustav being the major key to victory and how they saved many other species with his help.

A lot of the planetary representatives, especially the alliance leaders were getting restless as they listened to his narration. This was mostly because Gustav had just accomplished something that had taken them centuries of failures.

Siefiling who was practically impossible to locate, was found and dealt with by a child who was only a bit older than twenty years of age.

Not only that, he had saved the lives of many others in the process, making the whole saga about him being a planet destroyer seem ridiculous.

He was supposed to be evil but Handler Three's exposition was putting a dent in his evil reputation and it didn't help their objective to have him captured.

"Seifiling is dead?" Another alliance leader blurted out in disbelief.

"Yes. He is gone forever and we have Gustav Crimson to thank for that. He saved the lives of billions... Not to mention recovering my people," Handler Three answered.

"But he is responsible for the destruction of your planet in the first place... This must be his way of trying to make up for it. He is still guilty," Another alliance leader voiced.

"What if he isn't?" Handler Three didn't know when he blurted it out.
