Flaxia

Six days later we arrived in the system of Flaxia. We notice the imposing Imperial fleet guarding the planet right away when we arrive. While we all stare at the mass amount of ships ahead of us, ADP brings the ship closer to dock at the civilian docking station above the planet. We go through the same procedures as Evellia, only with more paperwork.

It only took a few hours for all the procedures to be completed before we took off in our Fighter ships to the planet below. Sarah rode with me while Jamie rode with Jax in his ship, this is also where we said goodbye. I didn't wish to meet with any councilmen, so I decided we can do some quick sightseeing while we are here. Maybe getting some interesting news where I can have my fun next.

The moment we land In the spaceport, me and Sarah immediately head towards the market where she hopes to get another souvenir and I some information.

We arrive shortly to the marketplace, and it is extremely busy with it being hard to even walk down the street. There are people everywhere, good thing technology has advanced to flying cars here as there is no driving room on the streets.

Sarah continuously peeks in and out of multiple store buying many small trinkets and even some of the clothing they sell here, which by the way is something you would never see on Earth. Talk about colorful!

We walk until we come across this store that has the current news playing on its holographic television. I decide to stop and listen to see if it has anything interesting to hear.

"Returning from our short break, we bring you news of the current frontline of the war between the Empire and the Dominion. The Dominion was able to successively destroy the Southern 12th fleet and the Eastern 23rd fleet this week. The sacrifices of our brave Imperial soldiers weren't for nothing as the Northern 35th fleet was able to capture the key Fortress planet of Nevinter. The real question is however, is how long can the Northern 35th Fleet hold the planet as they are surrounded by the enemy with no nearby reinforcements. That is all today folks, this is GEU signing off."

"Nevinter, huh. Been awhile since I've been on that side of the galaxy. Plus, that was GEU; they bring back bad memory's." I say to myself while thinking about the current situation of Nevinter.

"There they are, don't let them get away! His majesty said we are to bring them in as guests, no matter what!" A royal guardsmen yells as he spots Zen and Sarah.

"Shit how'd they know I was here! Sarah, lets go quickly." I immediately pull Sarah along as I run away from the guards.

"Zen, why are they after us?" Sarah askes as we run away, confused about the situation.

"It's complicated, but the Emperor want's to meet me so they are trying to bring me in no matter what." I hurriedly say to her question.

We run through the crowds of people trying to get back to the spaceport so we can quickly get off the planet and away from unnecessary trouble. We get to the spaceport only to see that it is already blocked off by the royal guard, at the same time they spot us and rush to our location to make sure we do not escape.

We are then cut off by our pursuers and have to give up trying to get away without a fight.

"Sir, we have been instructed to bring you to see his majesty, the Emperor. Please do not resist, and come along peacefully." The head guardsmen says while staring me down without any inclination of backing off.

"Come on, I want to see the Emperor so lets just go meet him." Sarah chimes in, giving her opinion on the matter.

"Fine, doesn't look like I have much of a choice in the matter anyway." I sadly give in to the matter.

The guards the get into a protective formation around us while leading us to the royal palace on Flaxia. They take us to a small flying armored van, that will fly us to the royal palace safely. It does not take long, only a couple of hours for the palace to come in sight.

What is before us is a massive three tipped pyramid structure. Instead of normal pyramids, this one has three peaks, and is also dark red in color with black banners hanging from the outside ledges of the palace. Even to me this place looks quite grand in comparison to many palaces in the galaxy.

The van shortly lands, and unloads us onto one of the balconies where I can only guess as a private meeting room to talk to the Emperor. Well, lets get this over with; I hope he is more reasonable than past Emperors.
