Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
--------------------
Gustav walked through the midst of towering structures that housed things that were difficult for the human mind to comprehend.
It seemed like he already knew where to look.
He soon arrived a couple of feet from a massive medical table that looked like multiple silver plaques stacked atop one another.
A figure sat before its edge and leaned against it with its back. They seemed like they were currently asleep while clad in a patient robe.
Gustav arrived before them and squatted.
Pat! Pat!
Gustav gently tapped their face twice before speaking, "Sersi are you okay?"
Squish~ Flicker~
Sersi's cute eyes slowly flickered open and Gustav was taken aback the moment he noticed the greyness in her eyes.
"Father, is that you?" She questioned cutely.
"...Yes it's me Gustav... can you see me?" Gustav questioned as he waved his hand before her face.
"I can hear you," Sersi answered while a smile appeared on her face.
This response instantly gave Gustav his answer. Sersi had gone blind.
"What happened? How did this..." Gustav's raised his voice in anguish.
"It's okay Father. I am fine," Sersi held his hand and smiled heartily.
"Especially now that you are here," She added.
While Sersi's hand was resting on his, Gustav decided to pry into her memories.
[Memory Siphoning Has Been Activated]
A stream of memories flowed in Gustav's mind which further incensed him as he witnessed everything the T-vods did to her while they were trying to take care of Seifiling.
The space vessel began to quake as Gustav's anger rose and he suddenly felt the urge to rip Seifiling into a million pieces.
The girl had gone through a whole lot in the past week yet she told Gustav she was perfectly okay.
'Good thing I can do that with my VI realm... I will make Seifiling suffer more,' Gustav swore internally.
"I can only hope that recovery pills work," Gustav muttered as he realized that Sersi had been blind for four days already.
Gustav proceeded to take a pill out of his storage space and placed it in between Sersi's lips.
After Sersi swallowed, Gustav waited to see if there would be any changes.
While he was waiting, he noticed something.
Adjacent to the medical stacks of plaques, floating crystalline structures suspended within force fields defied the laws of conventional physics, casting prismatic reflections across the experiment space.
It wasn't that Gustav didn't notice this area initially, he just hadn't paid it any attention but now that he did, his face lit up with suspicion.
An ashy ethereal substance could be seen almost flickering in and out of existence as it swum within one of the floating crystalline structures.
At that point, Gustav's perception was no longer hindered within the vessel so he could sense the approaching fleet in outer space.
The moment they stepped into the throne room, multiple holographic visuals appeared in their line of sight, showing the war fleet of battle spacecraft.
"Who are they and why are they suddenly attacking us?" Endric questioned.
Vilax who was standing before a bunch of control panels had a look of distress on his face.
Gustav knew what his look meant... Vilax knew exactly who was attacking them.
"Who are they?" Gustav asked while approaching.
"It's our people. They must have arrived thinking we still need help dealing with Seifiling," Vilax spilled the tea.
"Your people?" Gustav's face turned dark.
"How did they find us?" Endric questioned from behind.
"Well, that's because..." Osiark paused for a bit as she began to realize the severity of the situation.
"When we sent Volpork back, we left him with a tracking signal he could use to get back to us," Vilax tried to explain.
"You allowed us to be tracked?" Endric questioned with a look of betrayal.
"So this was a setup then?" Gustav questioned as a fierce energy began to radiate from his figure.
"No no, it wasn't a setup," Osiark quickly discarded.
"We were afraid of not being able to deal with Seifiling all by ourselves and let them track us just in case we get into a precarious situation. They would have saved us," Vilax explained.
"You did that while knowing your people would be out to get me. Makes me truly question your intentions," Gustav stated with a strong tone of mistrust.
"Believe me Gustav, Vilax has no bad intentions towards you," Milox suddenly walked into the throne room.
"At first, I wanted nothing more than to capture you but Vilax was always against it. Even back at the ring, he was one of the very few that claimed you were not to blame," Milox arrived before Gustav while explaining.
"Even I don't believe you have a hand in the destruction of our planet anymore after everything you have done for us. I have no intention of trying to capture you as well. The only reason Vilax allowed the tracking signal was because he was worried. If we had truly been in a precarious situation, their arrival would have helped," Milox explained further.
"It doesn't change the fact that he has led them right to me," Gustav stated.
"We will explain the situation to them. You don't have to worry about anything," Osiark responded with an enthusiastic look.
"They will be grateful when they hear of everything that happened," Vilax added.
"Nah, I think I have lived long enough to know how these types of situations will end up," Gustav shook his head lightly.
"Just because you won't try to harm me, doesn't mean the rest of your people will share such sentimentality."
