Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

James didn't understand, he decided to keep up with these guys here as he had made many models of this creation. He then asked:

"Then what do you want?"

Forilak came closer to him while whispering:

"I want the blueprints of this device, my dear friend James. Give me the blueprints and we all go separate ways."

Forilak then patted James' cheeks strongly while laughing. He paid it hard enough to make him feel pain so he could uncover the secrets of James. Once he confirmed the intel of his follower, he then began to watch James closely day and night.

At first he was confused about James' behavior and thought James was obsessed with invention and reading, but soon he changed his mind. When he saw James flying a small cruiser sneakily from the big abandoned facility in the woods, he knew James was up to something.

Although it was a retarded obsolete version compared to nowadays versions of space cruisers, but what made a normal worker learn how to fly it? The answer was simple, he was trying to escape.

That was when Forilak decided to confront James with all what he knew, so he could pressure him to take out the blueprints of that device. In Forilak's opinion, James was a fool, as he could simply deliver this creation for the higher ups and then got the reward he deserved.

Instead, he was planning to escape here, throwing off all the potential that this device could bring to him. but Forilak didn't intend to be a fool, as he would do the step that James didn't take and acquire all the rewards that such a device would bring to him.

This wasn't just a normal robbery of his gang; this was a milestone moment for him, where he would take advantage of it and change his destiny forever.

All he needed was buried deeply inside James' brain, or maybe hidden well by James, as Forilak had searched meticulously for any clue that could lead him to these blueprints, but failed.

James, on the other hand, was shocked by the demand of Forilak. These blueprints meant nothing for him though, but he read what this Royan intended to do, and that what made him surprised. James didn't have any objection to that as he said calmly:

"I will hand them over to you, and you will let me go and don't ever harass me again?"

Forilak's eyes shone brightly as his guess was confirmed, so he said seriously:

"I swear on the great Royan's blood that I would never harass you after you leave here."

James was surprised again, as this oath was known as the highest oath for Royans. That little thief seemed to take this task very seriously, that's what James thought. He wasn't complaining though, as by this oath he knew this Royan here wouldn't bother him again.

"Here, these are the blueprints of the device."

James handed the papers to Forilak, who took them as he said with surprise:

"An old fashioned way of recording things, which is the reason neither I nor my men here could ever find these blueprints anywhere."

James looked speechlessly towards Forilak, as he knew now the strange accident that happened at his living block wasn't a mere accident after all.

"What? Don't look at me like this, that fire happened accidently, and I'm glad to know you didn't lose anything important in it."

James just sighed as he was about to move out of here, but just as he turned around towards his floater, he found himself being surrounded by those Royans. He looked in question and blame towards Forilak who said in an innocent tone:

"I just want you to wait until we finish assembling this device, after all you didn't think I took all this trouble for just a bunch of old papers, which might be worthless at the end."

James gritted his teeth as he told himself to be calm, he then said:

"I really wouldn't mind this, but the core of this device needs a minute hydrogilic core."

"That's not a problem, as the cargo you have right now has this core."

James looked in shock to Forilak as his men started to unseal the cargo from his floater. He then said angrily:

"How dare you?! This would put me in question and punishment."

"A little sacrifice from you is appreciated, James, and don't tell me you made up your device with a core you invented by yourself, right? Don't make a big fuss over it, losing one hyrogilic cannon won't be easily detected."

James opened his mouth a couple of times to close them without saying anything. He watched two Royans come back carrying a big hydrogilic cannon as they put it on the ground while another one of them started to use his magic and disassembled it.

This cannon was classified as a shoulder holder cannon which had the ability to blast a hole in the defenses of the small space fighters, but it was genuinely heavy.

The Royan who started to work on it knew his work, as he was one of the regular maintenance technicians that were responsible for checking various war machines. In minutes, the small silver white bead-like core appeared in his hand.

This core was so small that you could easily neglect it, but if you let it damage, then the aftermath would be huge. Filorak then gave the blueprints to Royans, who started to follow the steps in it to finally end in making one device similar to James bracelet.

That process didn't take half an hour, during which James was almost at his wits end. He had lost enough time to face punishment and detention due to his late arrival to the base.

"Are you satisfied now? Can I go?"

"It's really marvelous, this device has 2 meters of space that I can put anything in it."

James felt strange as he looked in doubt towards Filorak who was captivated with this device. That Royan wasn't lying, that's what James felt, but that also made him more confused, as his own device had a 100 meters storage area inside.

That difference was way bigger to be neglected or considered different in talent.

"Yes, sure, you can go now."
