Chapter 218 Danger Incoming
"So what is this thing supposed to do?" Pyke asked as he looked over the strange pistol in his hand.
"From what I understand, when you fire the gun, it will create tunnels that will make everything inside of it become chaotic. From this, you will be able to use that chaos to your advantage. I really don't understand it much past that, but I am sure that you will figure it out," I said with a grin.
"Daniel!" Melody called from behind me, and I turned around to see her and the other girls coming back from their meeting. I was curious to know what it was that they talked about during the meetings.
"Yes?" I asked, turning around as the group came up to me.
"We just learned something that I think you are going to want to know right now!" Melody said, and Sofia came up beside her.
"Yes, Papi. This is pretty big," Sofia said with a worried look on her face that all the other girls seemed to share.
It was not a look that I liked, and I was starting to get a pit in my stomach.
"Well, spit it out," I said, and they stepped back to let Calishora through.
"I am almost certain that it will take no more than a week for my three sisters to get here. From their last known locations, Galliadra will be the first one to arrive, but the other two will be no more than a day behind. Regardless of when they show up, you can count on them not working together," Calishora explained.
I nodded my head, trying to take it all in. Even with them working together out of the picture, I was more worried about what they could do on their own.
"I see. Well, that changes things a bit," I said, and they all nodded their heads in agreement.
"It most certainly does," Melody said. "You are going to have to deal with whatever is stopping the power ASAP. Calishora was telling us about some of the things that they are capable of on the way over. We need to get the people off the surface of the planet and get them into safe places as soon as possible. The creatures sound really scary, Daniel."
The look Melody gave me told me that she wasn't playing around. She was a pretty brave person, but she actually looked worried.
I nodded my head, understanding what she was saying.
"Yes, I will get on it as soon as possible," I said, and she nodded her head.
"Good. We will do what we can to help, but our main priority is keeping the people safe," she said, and I nodded my head in agreement.
"Of course. I will keep you updated on what is going on," I said, and she nodded her head.
"Thank you, Daniel," she said, and they all turned and walked over to some open sofas to sit down.
I watched them all sit down for a moment before shaking my head and turning back to Pyke. This was a shit storm and a half.
"It seems like we have our work cut out for us," I said, and he nodded his head.
"That is an understatement," he said, and I could see the worry in his eyes.
"Well, we will just have to deal with it the best we can," I said, and he nodded his head slowly.
"Do you know what these things are capable of? I know that you are strong, but the things that you fought before are nothing. I heard about the Shalgoth that you faced. That thing is worse than them, and I am surprised to see one here. That thing was worse than them, but they had a Silence to control it. That won't work on them. You should go talk to Calishora. She will explain to you what is coming. Their scale is hard to comprehend, and their abilities are even more destructive. Your wife was right when she said we need to clear the planet," Pyke explained as Beltzer and Timala walked over.
"Pyke is right. Those creatures are something that you can't imagine. They have the ability to fold two points of space together and smash everything between. They can pull things from hundreds of miles around into a single point and breathe cosmic radiation while being able to chew and claw through anything. That is only what they all can do. As far as we know, each of them has special abilities beyond that," Timala explained, and I sighed but offered them both a hand.
"Thank you for the information. It is good to know what we are up against," I said, and they both nodded their heads, taking my hands. Both of them flashed with light and then smiled.
"That feels much better!" Timala said as she let go of my hand and leaned into Beltzer, who also let go of my hand.
"I think we are going to have to put the training on hold for now, don't you think?" Beltzer asked, but I shook my head.
"No, this is the time when I need you all to give it your very best. I will be doing the fighting, but we still have no clue about what Alpha's plan is. If Tiamat is sending her daughters here sooner, there is a good chance that Alpha will do something similar. It would be smart for him to attack while I was distracted by the sisters. This is why I need you all to get strong enough to be able to defeat or safely hold off the Gideons if they do attack. We have to be ready for everything," I said, and Beltzer nodded.
I turned back to Pyke, who was looking at me with worried eyes.
"So, what do we do now?" Pyke asked, and I sighed.
"I am not sure. I need to talk to Calishora and get more information from her. After that, we need to start making plans. We need to get the people to safety, and we need to find a way to stop those things. I am not sure how we are going to do that, but we will figure it out. For now, we need to focus on the people. We need to get them to safety," I explained, and Pyke nodded his head in agreement.
