Kingly Adventures

AN UNKNOWN PLANET, UNKNOWN REGIONS:

A starship exited hyperspace and entered the atmosphere. This ship was fastest vessel of The Fortis Empire, ' THE MONARCH ', it was designed by the SQC to act as a personal vessel for The Emperor. The ship was pitch black in colour and triangular in shape with extremely sharp edges. The ship was made completely of magically enhanced quantum metal and had four sister drives powering the four propulsion nodes at the end of the ship. The ship was capable of travelling 100 Million light years a day and possessed the most powerful weapons of the kingdom. The ship was manned by The Phrik Ballastians and each one of them was an extremely powerful force sėnsɨtɨvė. The ship entered the atmosphere and gently landed in front of a moss covered cave entrance.

The ship's side wall became transparent and a luxurious interior could be seen. The wall rippled and a human female followed by four, 8 foot tall purple coloured humanoid beings with red rubies on their foreheads stepped out of the ship. The woman was Anna and the purple coloured humanoid beings were the Phrik Ballastians. Anna said, " This vessel is amazing. So, this is the cave inside which His Majesty has gone into seclusion. Let's Move!! I am very eager to see The Emperor again."

Anna and her companions arrived before the cave entrance but didn't enter. Anna took out a datapad and said, " According to the instructions left behind by The Emperor. His power would have increased thousands of time by this time. According to the data provided by The Emperor, he would have awakened 100.325 trillion magic cells by now... UNBELIEVABLE!!!! THE EMPEROR WAS CAPABLE OF DESTROYING SUNS BEFORE HE WENT INTO SECLUSION. NOW, I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HIS LEVEL OF POWER." Anna had started speaking out aloud in normal tone but at the end, she was shouting at the top of her lungs, due to the shock she had received. Anna took a deep breath and turned towards The Ballastians who had similar expressions of shock on their faces.

Anna spoke up, " We will have to sound the alert ward and run as far as we could from this place. Ready 'The Monarch'!!!!"

A Ballastian wearing the Captain's uniform asked, " Why? Are we not going to pick up The Emperor?"

Anna took one look at the datapad she was holding and said with a sigh, " The Emperor had predicted that the magical aura released by him would be too much for us to handle and we would die as a result. We will retreat to a safe distance and wait for The Emperor to regain control over his magical power. The Emperor was advancing non-stop for two and a half centuries so he is rusty in his control."

The Ballastians present nodded and retreated back to THE MONARCH. When she was given Ok by the crew, Anna took a deep breadth and squared her shoulders and pressed her hand on the ground before the entrance of the cave and let out a pulse of magic. Anna felt her magic hiting extremely powerful wards and rebounding. Anna knew that The Emperor was alerted and quickly retreated inside THE MONARCH and exited the planet's surface. THE MONARCH was parked at a distance of 5 lightyears which was quite near in terms of the Galaxy. The crew and Anna watched as the planet started shining in a silver light and the sensors of the ship reported that some sort of massive power source has activated on the planet and the energy waves releasing from it are making the planet's core unstable.

Anna asked in a serious voice, " Adam, How much time before the planet gets destroyed due to the energy released by the power source?"

Adam, the Ballastian responsible for the scanning and communications system of THE MONARCH replied, " Madam Representative!!! According to the readings, the planet's core will explode in 15 minutes, if this continues. Madam!! We should return to the planet and rescue The Emperor."

Anna said in voice, full of admiration, " That massive power source that the ship's sensors are registering, is The Emperor. The energy waves detected by the sensors are his magic going out of control. The Emperor was capable of blowing up suns before his seclusion. Do you think that he fired that attack from the starship? He fired it from the space. The Emperor was able to survive in space then, so he could so now also. It's good to worry about him but The Emperor would not be harmed by this." The crew nodded and watched the planet with anticipation.

A FEW MINUTES BEFORE, INSIDE THE CAVE:

The cave, on going further inside, had a big hole in it's back wall, which was the one end of a slide which opened into a cavern. The cavern had black metal plates lining it's walls and had strange golden symbols drawn on the plates. On further inspection, the whole cavern was filled with these symbols and at the centre of these strange symbols was a human figure made of dirt. Suddenly, a coughing sound echoed in the cavern and the human figure at the centre moved. The dirt on the human figure vanished and revealed a man with a very long beard and very long hairs struggling to stand up properly. This man was Alexander Fortis, The Emperor of The Fortis Empire.

A rough voice echoed in the cavern, " F**K!! F**K!! F**K!! Those cultivators made it look so easy. Go in seclusion for few thousand years and come out in a pristine condition and majestic aura. How the hell they did not collect dirt and their hairs didn't grow? The muscles of my entire bodies have become stiff by sitting in one position for so many years. I have hairs growing out of every inch of my body. I am feeling extremely filthy even after using the cleaning charm. My voice box has become so parched that I have difficulty in speaking if I hadn't wanted to curse in a loud voice, I would not have spoken at all for a few minutes. I need a shower, ASAP!! But where will I find a shower on this planet? Looks like I will have to employ the old ways. "

Alexander conjured himself a bucket and soap, filled the bucket with water and closed the slide as he didn't want his curious subjects to see him in this state. Alexander had not bothered to contact them as he was feeling pretty bad at this time and was not in a mood to talk with anyone. Alexander vanished his clothes and started to clean his body thoroughly. Alexander was enjoying himself as the filth was being washed away and had in his state of enjoyment, let his magic loose. Alexander had the ability of Divine Adaption so he had no problem in adapting to so much magical power in his body, it was just that he didn't have fine control on his magic right now. A simple leviation charm of his right now would be enough to launch a stone out of the solar system.

As Alexander was enjoying himself, the local fauna were running for their lives as Alexander's unrestrained magic caused havoc on the planet. As the intensity of earthquakes increased, Alexander finally realised his mistake when his bucket fell on his toes, Alexander cursed and quickly restrained his magic to simply bar anyone from entering the planet. Alexander then continued cleaning himself and also gave himself a haircut and shave. It took Alexander 2 hours of continued bathing to, finally become completely clean. Alexander conjured himself a good and comfortable black coloured suit and shifted to the exit of the cave. Alexander took a long breath of fresh air and then, summoned all the quantum plates lining the walls of the cavern. Hundreds of metal plates came out in a shower of soil, stones and rocks and deposited themselves in stacks in front of Alexander. Alexander looked at the further devastation he had caused to the already now inhabitable planet as the earthquakes had created rivers of lava on the surface. Alexander thought, " Have I created under Mustafar? Well!! This planet had nothing of worth so it is going to be destroyed. First, I should summon my ride back home. Anna has proved herself to be quite patient. Look's like managing my kingdom for 275 years, has done her good. Let's meet my welcoming party."
