BXBX NOVEL Chapter 97 - What Now?
Cutting of Rei, Yin says. "There is a second? *Sigh. Fine, let\'s just teleport to him, and we can fix this later.... Wait, why can I not teleport to him???"
"Hmm, ... Neither can I. This is weird, there are not many places that can block summoning." Rei says.
Yin ponders to himself and says. "With what I have learned and taught myself, I feel that there may be a way to bring him back. You said that you and the other workers on this project made the teleporter right?"
Rei replies before nearly dropping his jaw. "Yes, but wh... Wait, you do not mean to???"
"There should not be a problem right? You did say that it turned out perfect, unless that was an exaggeration?" Yin asks while glaring at Rei.
"*Sigh. You see, while everything is perfect, what you are talking about was not its\' designated purpose. Do you realize that if something goes wrong, the least we have to worry about is him losing a limb or being disfigured, at worst he may die." Rei explains, while trying to convince Yin otherwise.
Yin quickly questions. "While that may be the case, he could already be in a life threatening situation. For instance what if he teleported into a black hole. Anyways, we do not have time to argue, so let us make the choice now. In which way are we going to risk his life? Will we try bringing him back, or leaving him to fend for himself?"
A few moments later, Rei replies. "Alright, we will do it your way. Fortunately I have a spare key. Looks like we are going to have to risk our kings\' life in one way or another, so may as well put in some effort to try and save him."
"That\'s the spirit, now, how do we get in?" Yin asks.
"You stay here, I will be quick... Actually, I will teleport you in once I am inside." Rei seeing Yins\' worried face replies, before disappearing into thin air.
---- Inside The Space Ship ----
Rei reappears inside a room that appears to be the control room, not to be confused with the pilots chamber. Looking to his left, we starts walking over to a holographic panel, then selecting Yin from the panel, he scrolls down, until he sees Control room. Selecting this, he waits a second before saying with a serious tone, and laughing a little at the end. "Please do not touch anything, no matter how much fun it looks like."
Yin just sits in a chair next to where he teleported in, sitting still and watching Rei closely.
A moment later. *Beep *Error *Beep
Rei squeezing his hands into fists, takes some deep breaths and says. "It looks like where ever he is, not even the ship can retrieve him. Which really begs the question, how exactly could he get in there in the first place?"
Hearing this Yin says. "There is one last option, sadly it requires two of people to work together."
"Well, what is it?" Rei asks after a few moments of silence.
"No, nevermind. If we did this, it is not worth the cost." Yin says before continuing a moment later. "However, thinking more calmly about it now, I think I know where he is. Do you remember what was last on his mind before he disappeared? The only question at this point, is why he cannot return."
Rei continues, as he walks over and sits next to Yin. "Do you mean he teleported to one of the moons? ... But he has not been there before, so how? Regardless, now it seems all we can do is just and see if he makes it out of there alive, or dead. It is kind of a pity he is so caring, as that is what got him into this mess."
Hearing this, Yin says with a pitiful smile. "Yes, but as you know, that is what makes him such a great king and ruler. If he was cold hearted, which would make him a stronger ruler, would we really be as happy as we are now? No, for that matter, would any of us even be here?"
"That is true, maybe in the future he will change into a stronger ruler. However for now, all we can do is support, and guide him. Even if he does become cold hearted, I am sure he would probably still care about us." Rei says logically, until the last part, just being hopeful.
---- Meanwhile Elsewhere ----
On one of the two moons, Yueliang and a figure that seems to be made of moon dust held up by air could be seen conversing.
"Alright, so you are telling me, you came here by accident, yet were intending to come here to make amends? Well, out of the many reasonings that I have heard from people, this one is certainly the most entertaining, and interesting. Now come along and tell me what you want." The white dusty figure summarizes.
"If I may, before we begin, shall we exchange names? That way we do not have to say \'you\' all the time." Yueliang asks.
"Sure, however I do not have a name, so just call me Yueliang. It is the same with the other moon, how about yourself?" The white dusty figure asks in a feminine but kind voice.
Yueliangs\' eyes widen as he says. "Well this is different. My name is Yueliang as well, it is my pleasure to meet you. However to avoid confusion you can just call me Yue, if you like?"
The moon replies. "That is interesting, nice to meet you as well. Now may we get to the main point? I would like to hear how you try to reason your way through this."
Hearing that, Yue says. "I will not give any excuses. While I did kill those people, and they where murderers and thieves, it was me who killed them in the end. Also, while I know it is not my place to be judge, jury, and executioner, there has been two questions lingering in my mind..."
"...The first being, does killing me really restore the balance? Either way, feel free to kill me if that is your choice. The second question being. What will I have to do to restore balance myself. Because, honestly, all I want is to take care of my friends, and live a peaceful life with them, hopefully having a family in the future as well."
Listening intently the moon answers. "Your honesty is truly a breath of fresh air, not that it changes much. Either way, I am simply doing as I was instructed. If you really want to make amends, there is a lot you could do, but hmm."
"What is it?" Yue wonders after not hearing anything about what the moon wants him to do.
Waiting around, Yue looks around, and not seeing much turns his gaze back to the figure before him, that currently seems to be deciding his fate.
A stick of incense later, the moon answers. "Pay back your debt to society, you have 2 years, not that I imagine you will finish, unless that is all you focus on. While you have been helping the people advance, and it does not seem to be mainly for profit, you are doing it to suit yourself. You have taken in strays, but still, you have yet to do help these people without thinking about how it helps you?"
Yue looks at the figures before saying. "Wait, could you please explain how I do that? I understand helping others, but while I do think about how it helps me, my intent is still to help them. It is not as though I want them to pay me back, for instance the tigers."
"You should remember with your perfect memory that that was for them to become your pets/ mounts. However, I do admit that you did become friends with them after."
"So then, what do you want me to do? Get rid of all my contracts and just continue helping everyone in some way or another?"
"*Sigh. You really do not get it, I am not the one who came up with these rules, I just enforce it. Our creator, has come up with this, also, you are the one asking for clemency not me. If you want to fix things, this is it. If not, well either you die, or somehow flee, not that is seems all that possible in your current situation. Also, you do not have to get rid of your contracts, just contribute to the betterment of society."
Yue just nods and thinks to himself. \'She seems to be able to my abilities, she knows all that happens around this solar system. Oh well, I am sure this can be solved quickly. In the end, I just have to help people selflessly.\' Finishing his thoughts Yueliang looks around once more saying. "Alright, I will do it. However one quick question. How do I get back?"
