To all,
Due to the interest in Parts 1and 2, I have continued this series. There is also a companion piece that was the first story that I submitted to Literotica. Completely trashed by the Editing staff, rightfully so. It's re-written to blend with this series and intermesh with this storyline. Again, this is still just your basic space story with some sex thrown in to make it real for me.
Any aliens, real or imagined in this story are purely a construct of my twisted and warped mind. My attempts to enter a realm (writing), that has always eluded me, have been exciting. I hope you enjoy my continued tale of Drew Jr.

Part Three of Drew's Troubles with Roaches and Cats.
Over the emergency system a second message from Terran space rang out, "Mayday, Mayday, Confirmed, we have Roaches in-system, they have control of two Elder destroyers. Mayday, Mayday". The mayday was repeating, when suddenly the broadcast was cut short. The silence was deafening.
The younglings were waiting for the pickup and they could feel the fear of their elders. They boarded in a hurry and before the hatch was closed, Tiffany had taken the shuttle to 1000 feet and was streaking towards the shuttles.
The shuttles were loaded and prepped and just waiting for the last of the Pride. "You two get off the ship and get the shuttles to our home ship and get out of system. I'll catch up later." He paused while Eddie headed to the hatch. "That means you too missy. It's an order from your Lord," waiting for Tiffany to move. What he got was a now understood aggravated flick of her ear causing the tinkle of 6 jewels on her circlet.
"I'm staying, I am a warrior now, plus a much better pilot than you are," it was said without arrogance, just honesty.
Eddie had stopped at the hatch and Drew noticed. "Get to the shuttle Eddie and lead the Pride to a safe node, Now!"
Eddie bowed and said, "Yes my Lord... and friend, I hope to see you later." And he ducked out the hatch and was gone.
Drew paused to look at Tiffany and see what she had become. She had evolved from the arrogant, self-important Queen to a warrior bereft of her formal ego. He made a quick but surprisingly easy choice.
"Before we take off, let us understand each other. I am taking this Corvette to find my father and go to war, probably not to return. You have earned your honor back. You do not need this to prove anything to anyone." Drew paused and looked at the profile of Tiffany.
Tiffany spun in her chair and rose in her old imperious way. She was tall for a Cat female and had a good 12 cm on Drew. She moved so they were nose to nose. "Good, let us understand each other. I was a Queen, A QUEEN! Hated by all around me. I was thrown aside by my Pride because of my vanity and my own stupidity. You gave me my life back. You gave me, ME! Mercy, when of all people, you should have cut my throat. This past time has been the most fulfilling of my life. I have 6, count 6 kittens by you." She paused and rattled her ear to make the point.
"I will follow you anywhere if you will allow me. Please order me to stay." She ended in tears with a softer voice.
Drew looked into her eyes, turned into his chair and ordered. "Take your seat and forward tactical to the command chair."
"Yes, my Lord," she relied with a smile, "And since we are understanding each other, you are the best fuck I have ever had, and want a second opportunity."
The armored Corvette raced into the indigo sky.
Silence fell over the small bridge.

As they cleared earth's atmosphere, Drew gave direction to Tiffany, "Hail my Dad's ship and see if he will respond."
"I took the liberty and have a repeating message in sequence broadcast. So far, no response," Tiffany responded.
"I hope they survived the G-forces from that last maneuver around the moon. I am not sure even our compensators could handle that tight of a slingshot move."
There continued to be silence on the bridge until there was a signal for an incoming message.
"Drew, Is that you?"
"Dad what the hell are you up to? My navigator plotted your trajectory, and I assume you swung around the moon at high V to ram the fucking Roach mother ship?" there was a pause in transmission, "Is that what you are up to?"
"Well, yes, it is. Just using the tools that I had on hand my son. Just like I taught you." Drew Sr. paused, "I am sorry I didn't have the ability to meet your new family, but this is literally, my chance to save the world."
"I understand Dad. Like I told you, my life has taken some odd turns. But there is always the greater good and I am honored to be your son. I love you Dad and I just want you to know I'll be flying your 6 trying to keep them off your tail as long as I can."
"Drew, get out and run for it. If this doesn't work, you will be sitting the middle of the Roach horde, you'll never make it out." cautioned Drew Sr.
"Dad, I have been killing Roaches longer than you have. We modified my little corvette with Bug weapons. We will be a nasty surprise for all that survive you. I'll keep our channel open in case we need to talk. Tell your tactical not to shoot at me please." Drew Sr. looked at Kay.
"Not shoot him, that be stupid, no shoot mates' son." Kay responded and shrugged through the pain. Drew Sr. just smiled.
"See you on the other side my son."
"The other side Dad, Love you."
On the other ship the navigator turned to her Lord Captain and asked a question, "The other side of what, Lord?"
"Heaven," Drew replied sadly.
Silence again took over the bridge

Drew was again studying the star maps and ship positions.
"Lord, may I ask another question regarding your strategic conversation with your father?"
"Sure'" Drew stated with a deep sigh and paused for a moment, "yes pilot, ask away"
Tiffany slowly questioned, "I do not want to seem ignorant, but I cannot find reference to the 'Cover your 6' reference. Can you please define?"
