Somewhere in Nak Space…

In a highly developed Planet that belonged to the Nak Government, inside a huge floating metal building, numerous high officials were gathered.

There was a lot of noise as they expressed their anger at the news.

"Those filthy beasts have attacked again!"

"How dare they project the murder of Nak Civilians in a public projection?!"

"Cowards! If they really want war, why can't they face us head on?"

"They're a shameless bunch, satisfied with causing so much disruption and only attacking civilian vessels, my company lost 8 billion Galactic Credits in 2 weeks!" This Nak official looked agitated as he spoke. "I will kill them…!"

"Those bastardly beasts!"

"But what is their intention really for causing so much disruption?"

"Can't you tell? They're obviously terrorists! Do terrorists need a justifiable reason to lay waste to your planet? They terrorize, that's why they're terrorists!"

"I don't think so, these beasts are not like other terrorists. They clearly have a large and organized framework despite their fanatical approach to it, they have numerous powerful Priests and even their unknown leader called the Beast King".

"And unlike others, they're advocating a clear message, the freedom of beasts that are being enslaved and brutalized".

"Hehe…" A lot of the high officials sneered at him. "You truly believe those random justifications that they are spouting? A terrorist will always have justification even if it's just a façade to cause violence".

"Even if they're right, so what? We should stop eating meat because you say so, is that what you're saying?"

Majority of them laughed at that.

"Go make your family stop eating meat first before spouting nonsense".

"I actually don't eat meat; I and my family are vegetarians".

"Then get lost filthy herbivores! We have a concrete security problem before us and we are not ready to entertain your family ways and stories!"

"Who did you call filthy?" This high official was angered.

Both high officials became agitated, it almost escalated into a full-blown fight until a single voice brought back order.

"Silence!"

All attention went back to the individual that sat at the head of this gathering. He was hunchbacked, his face had a lot of wrinkles, evident of his age even as the glow of his bald head overshadowed his long white beard.

He seemed to struggle to raise his head to look at everyone present.

"We are the protectors of the Ring Belt of Nak State". His voice was old and archaic. "It is our duty to protect the lives of those civilians out there".

"We can't entertain such provocative violence in our territory".

He staggered while standing up. "These are my orders".

"We will do everything to rescue them, send long-range signals to contact any mercenary group in the vicinity, let them help, we will pay handsomely".

"At the same time, prepare the 14th Legion, they will be going for an interception mission, the Space Pirates can't escape this time".

"I want the head of their leader". He looked at the virtual screen.

"May God help those poor souls". He finally got ready to leave but he paused.

"Another thing". He looked at them. "Any other time that you turn into children and make so much noise in my gathering, I will kill all of you".

With his walking stick, he finally staggered away.

The Crimson Ring Planet woke up to life after the orders of its Army Commander, the Nak State was responding with force this time.

For 15 minutes, Champion Onana was restless as the Golden Cicada moved through space at a fairly fast speed, looking for his allies.

At the 21st minute, his eyes finally lit up in relief.

[Signal Detected!]

[Source- The Amplitude!]

"It's the Amplitude!" This Champion was excited.

"Champion, it's not just 1 warship, it's 4". One of the Nak warriors was able to point it out as Champion Onana looked back at the screen.

His subordinate was right, all 4 signals came in quick succession.

From their rapidity, it was clearly a distress signal, his eyes narrowed.

The last of the signals flashed in the screen.

[Signal Detected!]

[Source- The Legolas Baron!]

"Ahh…, finally, Legolas is safe". This Champion was relieved.

"Sir, they're hailing us".

"Answer it". Champion Onana instructed.

Bzzz!

The next moment, a virtual screen appeared showing a distressed Christensen. "Hurry, the Army Commander is in danger".

That was all that Champion Onana needed to hear.

He looked at his crew. "Did you hear that? What are you f*cking waiting for?"

"Get there, now!"

"Yes, Champion!"

The Golden Cicada's power reactor was pushed to an extreme in one go as it supplied energy abundantly, enabling this warship to blast into the distance with speed as it seemed to become a meteorite in space.

Boom!

-----

You have activated Special Ability: Metamorphosis- Reverse

----

As soon as Legolas activated this ability, becoming the size of a mere pen and jumping out of the Legolas Baron, he was not detected by the pirate ships.

Masking his body with void energy, they could not detect him.

With the Void Master passive ability active, he was able to float in space towards the 4 pirate advancing ships. Like a parasite, he lashed to one of them.

When they finally saw that the Heavy Cruiser was retreating for real, the 4 Frigates turned back. Unknowing to them, they were carrying a passenger this time.

-----

You have activated active ability: Scent Tracking

You have activated active ability: Auditory Tracking

----

The disadvantages of making himself that small were that his sight was no longer as expansive since he couldn't use his energy check due to fear of being discovered, it was these 2 tracking skills that helped him.

Despite how frustrated he felt, he was patient and calm.

Legolas spent minutes infiltrating till he finally made his way into the biggest of the 3 transport spaceships. Once he entered inside, he discovered that apart from killing civilians, the pirate Plecostomus were busy raiding the ships.

They literally stripped the Spaceships naked from inside as they took anything valuable away. While they did this, the intruder infiltrated deeper.

'I have to plan my sequence of actions well'.

'I just have to place myself in an appropriate position that will enable me to rescue the captain on time if he is about to be killed and wait'.

His real faith for this crazy mission was on Christensen.

He looked at the time. 'It's over 20 minutes already since I started infiltrating, if the others are really around here, Christensen should have found enough allies to decide to launch an attack already'.

'When they attack is when I make my move'. He persevered.

5 minutes of this later, he snuck into the chamber of the gigantic Spaceship where the broadcast was being recorded. There, he saw all the crew of the warship shaking in fear as they were killed one after the other on the live broadcast.

With the Grade B Plecostomus's left hand on his head, the captain kept on shivering like he was frozen in an ice glacier as Legolas silently blend in.

Once he did, he looked at his time, then he waited.

It lasted only 2 minutes.

BOOM!

The loud sound of a warship canon reverberated!

The rescue mission officially started!
