Sorry it took me so long to write this chapter. I was a busy with my other books.
*****
I saw blaster fire shot over the barricade from both sides. I had only been here a week and now I was part of some futuristic uprising.
"Give me back my daughter." Hellena said from the other side of the barricade.
"Not until you give us our freedom." Rex shouted back before shooting a blast directly into a guard's leg.
I also hit a few guards who were out of cover to try and get an accurate shot at us. Rex instructed us to injure them instead of kill them.
Rex instructed us to hold fire for a second. I didn't hear any fire come over the barricade nor did I see a blast. Rex peeked over and saw them all on the ground, experiencing a serious amount of pain.
"Alright boys, rush over and tie them up. They will be our entertainment on the way to the Matriarch's Tower."
Once all the girls were tied up we loaded them onto some sort of hovercraft, that Rex assured me he knew how to fly. However, before we all got into the hovercraft, a new hovercraft parked.
"STOP WHERE YOU ARE OR WE WILL SHOOT!" Rex shouted and pointed his pistol at the hovercraft. Then five or six people stepped out, except they weren't people. They had computer parts as if they were some kind of robot.
"Put down your weapons. We only have a few questions." The man that seemed to be in charge said. We all lowered our weapons. "Good, you'll co-operate." He touched his forehead and the people following him lowered their guns. "First question, what is the AAC doing on Raxus?" I gave him a puzzled look, as did all the other men.
"What is the AAC?" Rex asked. The man shook his head.
"I thought you said you were going to co-operate." The man said and walked over to Rex. "The AAC is the Anti-Alien Coalition. A group of non-technology enhanced humans that has destroyed several planets containing lifeforms other than humans. A group you must be a part of since I can't interface with you."
"We are humans from before this time. We were sent ahead by a young woman that is apparently one of the leaders of this planet." The man relaxed.
"As crazy as that sounds I believe you. The AAC is too proud to have spies, or members who hide their membership. So, new question. What are you doing here?"
"We are liberating ourselves from this planet. The women have absolute control over the native males, and have forced us to work on buildings for years. We are not the only group of human's captive on this planet."
"Well as a sergeant in the Galactic Order Military. I am obligated to help you. The Galactic Order being the ruling body of the Milky Way Galaxy."
"How did that happen? When we were on Earth there were still separate countries." I asked, finally recovering from this shocking news.
"Our first High Chancellor, Kylan, took over the planet 20 years ago. Since then we have discovered space travel and cybernetics. We quickly found out that we were the first beings to enter high speed space travel, nicknamed warping, and used it as a stepping stone to establish galactic dominance."
