Chapter 8: THE ROYAL PALACE
The royal palace was very huge, and well maintained that every surface was shining so bright that even diamonds would feel jealous. Picty and Slyzdger was waiting for the king in the throne room, where there were two seats in center and where the largest was coverd in unknown jewellery and a smaller one next to it covered of gold and diamonds. After some time had passed, an announcement was made. The great King of Alanis Amanté Gallontrice is entering the throne room. Just as the announcement was done a huge door opens and a person in his mid-fifty with a red robe walks to the throne and sits on the smaller throne with the gold and diamonds. As he took his seat he looks around and orders everyone to leave the room. Then he takes a deep breath and closes his eye and then look at his guest and speaks. The first lieutenant commander Slyzdger Kyptor of the first division, I am sorry to kidnap you, but my only goal was Picty but I was informed you were accidently brought here.
Slyzdger- if I may ask what it is you want with Picty? I am responsible for his safety, but I have a feeling that you don't want to harm him for time being at least.
The king replied laughing, you are right if I wanted him dead, I would never invite him here, I have many ways to get him killed. So Picty tell me how did you it?
Picty smiles and says, do what king, I do not understand.
King looks at Picty for a second and says, you don't look powerful or skilled enough to break the seal I placed on Theora.
Slyzdger was shocked in what he just heard. Picty looks around and says, I see that you don't intend to let me go without answering your question. But alas you will not get a word from my mouth and Picty closes his eyes and sits down.
The King was furious in what response Picty had given and controls his anger and says, I do not understand why an Alien like you will protect my daughter, but she will return and sit in this huge throne next to me and become queen. Just as the king finished his sentence, he hears a loud bang and the next second the huge door is busted down and, in the smoke, and dust the Great princess of Alanis Princess Theora Aniela cosmos walks in and says, Picty is D.A.B property, you will not use illegal methods to take him from our control. King angrily says, is this how you treat your father Theora. Theora smiles and says, i am the first lieutenant commander of the D.A.B Theora Aniela cosmos and I shall be taking Picty with me.
King- He shall leave when I command him to leave. You have no say until you become queen. If u want to protect him why don't you become queen?
Picty- blackmail won't work on her.
King- nobody gave you permission to speak.
Theora- he is right, blackmail don't work on me. But it might work this time.
King- so you will become queen?
Theora- yes, and I will marry picty and make him king.
King- I thought so, you always was like this, makes things complicated for everyone. Fine, take him with you now but don't even dream of making an excuse like this again.

In the secret headquarters of D.A.B, Head General Alannah Claudie was having her food when D.A.B lead scientist Nick enters. White is not Black, but Black is white, such interesting things don't you say head general. Head general nods her head in disbelief and says, have I not told you that you talk too much. Nick laughs and says, always but then again, I am here on something important. Nick it better not be something stupid, I was enjoying my meal and I don't know why but I have the urge to kill you now.
Nick in a serious voice says, I examined Picty cells and DNA and to my surprise it is identical to ours but there were two adjustments made. Adjustments, what do you mean Nick? First adjustment is the DNA for power absorption was deleted and a new variant placed in thant place, a serial number, marking the number of generation and second adjustment made was to send data back here when they die. What are you trying to say Nick, what does serial number and data be sent here? Head General as per me, Picty and his species is nothing, but an experiment conducted by the mad scientist, and I confirmed it as his signature was there in the DNA. Head general closes her eyes and says, don't tell Picty as we don't know how he will react to the news, and we need more information about this. Nicks with a smile says, he is the one who suggested the hypothesis of an experiment and as per him, due to the lack of Power his species developed far better technology in DNA science on molecular biology. Picty was a doctor back in his planet and even though he was not a molecular biologist, he was able to brief me on some of the techniques used in DNA technology and it helped me in getting the DNA sequence of his body and opened door to many other possibilities in the future. Alannah started staring at the wall in silence as if she was in deep thought, suddenly the place had become so silent it was like space and time froze and then suddenly someone comes forward from the shadows and says, Head General I have finished the investigation just like you asked and here is the report. Thank you, Q, I was waiting for your report. After reading the report, Head Generals eye started glaring like a predator closing in on its prey. Make the necessary preparations, this time the D.A.B shall take responsibility. Set up the court for Picty as soon as he returns, send him to the court. Don't hire any lawyers for him and prepare an execution ground. Nick replied, Head General I heard that Theora and Picty are on there way here and will be reaching the base in a few hours. Good then tomorrow shall be the court and make all the preparations in this list. As soon as Picty returns hold him in the isolated cell, this blunder of our parts shall not be tolerated and we shall rectify what we have caused by eliminating him once and for all.
