The Bloodline System

Chapter 1509  Trial Anticipation

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

--------------

Axarof suddenly turned to them with a look of distaste. "Gustav Crimson has been captured."

The other two Alliance leaders, Xythor and Kafuka, were just as shocked since they had just received the news as well. Their faces displayed a mix of surprise and confusion.

"What good will having Gustav's friends be?" Xythor asked while twitching in agitation.

Axarof's sinister smile widened. "They can still be useful. They all have their roles to play. Earth shouldn't be the only ones that get to take a bite out of the pie."

E.E. suddenly felt his restraints malfunction. His sharp sense caught the subtle dysfunction which gave him an avenue to channel his bloodline energy secretly.

He gave Endric and Aildris a signal which they managed to catch onto. Falco on the other end was still unconscious as they were being dragged away.

E.E. made a silent bet with himself, hoping the disruption of spatial energy in the Alliance wouldn't be an hindrance.

He pretended not to be planning anything, engaging the Alliance leaders in conversation as they were taken to their holding cells.

"Is this really necessary?" E.E. asked with a calm and measured voice. "We've already been beaten. There's no need for this level of restraint."

Kafuka sneered at him. "Your cooperation would have spared you this indignity. Now you'll see how the Alliance deals with those who defy it."

When they finally arrived at a particular secluded location with translucent energy barriers, E.E. decided to act.

He suddenly released himself from the restraints and opened red vortexes behind all four of them.

Thrrhuummmm~

The red vortexes dragged them into it and closed up instantly.

A look of shock immediately appeared on the faces of everyone present. Only Axarof was quick enough to jump into Falco's vortex in that split millisecond, despite not having fully healed from his injuries.

They reappeared outside of the Alliance in an unknown location in space. The surroundings were a spectacular sight... a swirling nebula of vibrant colors with distant stars casting a magical glow around them.

Axarof's eyes gleamed with fury as he spotted all four of them floating in place.

"You think you can escape me that easily?"

'Shit! He followed us,' E.E had opened a vortex that took them over twenty million feet away from their initial position.

When it came to people who were at the Apex of power across galaxies, it wasn't much but E.E had expected it to give them a little headstart.

Unfortunately, Axarof was incredibly persistent with no intentions of letting them escape.

"Man you're like a toxic ex girlfriend who can't seem to let a nigga go," E.E spat with a look of indignation.

"Whatever that means, is your problem, not mine..."

Axarof wasted no time. He lunged at E.E. with blinding speed, his multiple limbs poised to strike.

E.E. created a vortex just in time, redirecting Axarof's attack into the void.

"Just give it up man. I'm not into you... I don't swing that way," E.E shook his head while backing away.

"I will bash that large head of yours in if you don't stop talking!" Axarof roared before charging forward once more.

Now that there was no longer spatial disruption, E.E repeatedly opened vortexes and evaded his attacks while Aildris assisted.

They were both weakened but Aildris barely bad energy.

'Stop trying to provoke him, we should be conserving energy. We can't breathe out here remember?' Aildris said to E.E through their mind comms.

'I know but it wasn't a coincidence that we got out of there... Something or someone interfered... If I'm right, then that someone won't let us die here, right?' E.E responded while evading another of Axarof's attacks.

"You've become quite the nuisance," Axarof growled, his voice dripping with malice.

'E.E is right... Let him keep up what he is doing,' Endric used his telekinesis to hurl a barrage of space debris at Axarof while speaking through the comms.

The Alliance leader effortlessly swatted it away. "Is that the best you can do?"

"You shouldn't be talking to him... He is a minor you know? Although I am not interested in you as well..." E.E chipped in from the side.

"Shut up!" Axarof charged at him but ended up attacking a vortex.

"Kinky...  But you're really not my type, I'd rather do the whole roleplay thing with a girl," E.E voiced with a slight hint of disgust.

"I'll kill you!" Axarof energy rose as light gathered around him and he swung his straightened fingers at E.E, causing a powerful beam of light to shoot forth.

E.E turned into a vortex since it was too quick for him to open one and the beam appeared directly behind Axarof.

Once again his left leg was blasted off but at this same moment an attack came from his blind spot.

This was from someone who had just suddenly appeared in place.

Bang!

A fist to the head, sent Axarof spinning across space along with a strong shockwave that swept through the surroundings.

Axarof had not only been knocked flying but also knocked out.

None of them here were capable of such a feat so their eyes widened the instant they spotted who was responsible.

...

Across the universe, the news of Gustav's capture spread like wildfire. Planets that had once been indifferent to the events on Earth were now buzzing with discussions about the upcoming trial.

---

On Planet Orion, the leaders gathered in a grand hall, their faces grave.

"We owe our very existence to Gustav," Achon the leader of the council  declared. "Without his intervention, we would have perished. We must testify on his behalf."

An Ozi who seemed to have visited for this same reason,stepped forward. "Gustav saved a lot of our people from certain extinction. We cannot allow him to face this alone. We will also be there."

---

In the capital city of Gohatark, Commander Ergril addressed his elite Tark Force. The assembly hall was filled with Tarks, their hulking forms exuding strength and resolve.

"Gustav has been captured by Earth," Ergril announced with his voice echoing through the hall. "They intend to put him on trial, but we cannot let them condemn our Lord without a fight."

The Tarks raised their weapons in agreement. Ergril continued, "We will prepare an army and travel to Earth. We must ensure his freedom."

One of the Tark warriors, a towering figure with battle scars crisscrossing his face, stepped forward. "Commander, we stand ready. When do we leave?"

Ergril's eyes burned with determination. "Immediately. Prepare for departure."

---

In the hidden base of the Gustavo Alliance, leaders convened in a dimly lit room. The room was filled with a sense of urgency and secrecy. Shadows flickered on the walls as the discussions grew heated.

"We cannot let this trial happen," one of the leaders, cloaked in darkness, said. "Gustav's capture threatens our plans."

Another leader, their face obscured by a hood, nodded. "We must act swiftly. Our forces will be ready."

The leader at the head of the table, a figure known for their strategic brilliance, spoke up. "We will coordinate with our allies across the galaxies. This trial cannot proceed without our interference."

---

Back on Earth, news networks buzzed with excitement and speculation about the upcoming trial.

Holographic screens displayed images of Gustav still unconscious and surrounded by scientists as well as MBO officers.

Commentators debated his fate. Many condemned while few supported.

"This man is responsible for the destruction of Planet Ozious," one commentator declared. "He must be held accountable."

Another countered, "But he has also saved countless lives. Shouldn't that be taken into account?"

As the trial date approached, more and more planets prepared to send representatives.

Those who had witnessed Gustav's heroics were also preparing to partake.

---

On Planet Vardos, a council of elders convened to discuss their participation in the trial. The chamber was filled with loud conversations.

"We owe Gustav a debt of gratitude," Elder Zorin said. "We must stand by him."

Elder Lyria agreed. "We will travel to Earth and ensure that his deeds are recognized."

One would expect the entire universe to be against Gustav and yet there were still a couple who seemed to be on his side.

---

At the same time, preparations were underway on Earth for the arrival of these intergalactic visitors. The MBO was in overdrive, setting up security measures and logistical arrangements.

Commander Xanatus stood in the command center, overseeing the preparations.

"We need to ensure that everything is in place for the trial," he instructed a team. "This is going to be a highly charged event."

One of his officers approached. "Sir, we've received word that multiple planets are sending representatives to testify for and against Gustav."

Xanatus seemed surprised upon hearing that; "For?"

"Yes, it would seem he has quite the number of supporters," the officer responded.

Commander Xanatus's face beamed up upon hearing this.

"That is good. This needs to be a fair trial."

As the days passed, the anticipation grew. Planets from across the universe mobilized their representatives, each with their own agenda and perspective on Gustav's fate.
