“But, we have to stop them too. We can’t hide and hope they will go away,” uttered Keiko.
“I know, I know… That’s not what I’m saying. I will stay here for a day or two. Akgon has a plan. He will contact a spy that knows the location of ShanRo’s base. We’ll go there and make sure they don’t develop another device. We will destroy the base if it’s necessary. You will go back with the DMN70 to our dimension, Terra 1, and find a way to contact the head of the Realm and tell them to prepare for war.”
“ Whaaaat?? Great plan: I’m supposed to walk up to the president of the Realm and tell him, without blinking, that they have to prepare for a war from a different dimension. HA! Are you insane? Do you want me to die before my time? Because that IS what will happen, dad…”
“I know it sounds crazy…”
“Oh yeah, it only SOUNDS crazy!”
“Listen to me: this is important! We have to prepare. At least we need to try to protect our dimension from this invasion that will destroy our world as we know it. But also will result in our extermination or us becoming slaves to these alien races! We are responsible, at least in part, for what your grandfather discovered…”
“Ok, ok! if you put it like that, I will find a way…”
“Contact this person and he will be able to help you.” And he swished his contact info to her pad. Tell him you are my daughter; he has connections in high circles of the Realm.”
“I will contact him and find a way… as crazy as I think this all is, it is very real too.”
“We have no time to lose. Take the device and go, Keiko. I love you! Together we will stop ShanRo.” He hugged her for a long time for the first time in many years. Her father never showed his emotions, let alone touched anybody! This was really bad, she thought, it was what you would call APOCALYPTIC!
He walked into a cloud and disappeared. Now it was up to her. She had to go back, explain all this craziness to the most important person in Terra 1 and get the Empire to prepare for an attack. Oh wait, an attack that might not even happen, if her father was successful at stopping ShanRo and the Elemka. Oh yeah, that only SOUNDED crazy!
