Dan Sherman Space Guardian All Worlds Book Seven Page 7

  Chapter 63-Gastreal Feriensa and Felthen

  We decided to go to the Planet Gastreal first to interrogate the dark agents. We were to contact special security staff who had the agents in custody. I knew now we didn’t need to transfer

  into cloned bodies; yes, I know I said before we would use cloned bodies, but now with Debra being Debra, we didn’t need to. We could materialize in any form we wanted. I decided to be myself while Debra came as a Tourgen-clone.

  ‘You don’t need to use that form, Debra.’ I said.

  ‘I know, but I think it will encourage them to cooperate.’ She said. We were greeted by security staff who were more than a little nervous at meeting Debra, especially when she transformed

  into a smaller version of the Tourgen to fit into the rooms and corridors we were to access. I myself turned into the original Debra a few times before we arrived at the room where the agents were held. The security staff were by now very confused.

  ‘Please leave us alone with the prisoners for a time,’ I said.

  After looking at each other several times the man in charge of security said, ‘You know these people will die before they give out any information?’

  ‘Yes,’ I said.

  ‘And you know they have been already been through several interrogations before.’

  ‘Yes,’ I said again, ‘we know.’

  ‘Do you know also that they have been especially selected and cloned into their bodies which feel no pain or fear when threatened?’

  ‘Yes,’ I said.

  ‘Well, good luck then; we couldn’t get a thing out of them.’

  When the security staff had gone, Debra turned back into her normal self. We knew

  the agents were not afraid of pain, and Deria who was invisible said she couldn’t

  access anything from the prisoners either. ‘OK, I said, time for some serious pain for you.’

  ‘Who do you think you’re kidding’ the obvious leader said, yes, he was a Kallo look-alike again.

  ‘We are the Elite-Selection! Do you think you can intimidate us by transforming into other life forms? Ha, Ha. Go back to your leaders, trainees!’

  I looked at Debra, she knew just what to do, one look from her and the agents were rolling on the floor in agony. After about a minute the agents were screaming out to talk, but I noticed that one was relatively quiet, I tried to access his mind but I noticed he had been brain changed; it is something that is common on numerous planets. After another few minutes of recuperation they said, ‘It is no good trying to get information from us about other agents as we have been processed to give any number of false answers, in fact, we don’t know any more than you.’ I knew he was right, but I still let Debra put them on the floor again. We were about to leave when Debra looked at me, I knew something was terribly wrong, the agent who said nothing while being tortured was now laughing. Debra suddenly transformed herself into the ship encompassing us all inside, in the next instance there was an almighty blast. All I was aware of was a light of the most intense kind. I didn’t know whether I was still in the room, on the ship, or back at base. Yes, I was part of Debra, but I was also myself, and that self was struggling to understand what had happened. It didn’t take long to find out that the agent who was laughing had triggered a massive photon-bomb. How come we didn’t detect it, you say? The answer is because it was embedded into his brain. Yes, his new brain! Debra is now her normal self, and the ship.

  ‘Are you OK, Dan?’

  ‘Yes, thank you, Debra. What happened?’

  ‘One of the agents triggered a photon-bomb. Everyone on board is dead, except Deria and you. I simply didn’t have the time to contain the suspect.’

  ‘The security people will wonder what happened.’ I said.

  ‘As far as they are concerned, we simply disappeared; In fact, we travelled at faster than light speed through the planet and out into deep space. I was now starting to get my bearings.

  ‘You will be alright in a moment, said Debra; it is the sudden increase in light.’ Debra had to jettison the blast out into space, with the bodies of the prisoners.

  ‘Do you want me to transfer to the astral plane to question the prisoners again, Dan?’

  For student information: we don’t need to go into sleep mode while we are with Debra, she can transfer us anywhere on any plane.

  ‘No thank you Debra, we won’t get much information from them. On second thoughts, yes, let us see their faces when they see we are OK. In the next instance we transferred to the sub base on the astral plane. The prisoners were standing before a Judge or Guardian.

  ‘How do you plead?’ The judge said.

  ‘We have been programmed to tell lies, so it is useless to ask us.’

  ‘Take them away,’ the judge said.

  ‘Please, your honor, can I question then,’ I said.

  ‘Of course.’

  Now, which of you remembers me and my companion? I said.

  All of them said they did.

  ‘OK, then, what did you achieve?

  ‘We managed to blow the hell out of you.’

  ‘No you didn’t, we were able to contain the blast and move it away from the planet.’

  ‘Never, they said.

  ‘Is it possible to let them see the truth through my friend Debra here? I said.

  ‘I’m afraid it won’t make any difference’ the judge said. ‘Their brains have been altered. ‘Take them away.’

  As they were leaving, the leader shouted, ‘We will get you yet, Sherman. You think you are safe, but there are many agents after you! Kallo maybe in captivity, but his agents are out there!’

  Deria was now in the room. ‘Even I couldn’t get through the consciousness of those agents’ she said.

  ‘What about their Karma? How does it work with their brains being altered?’ I said. Deria said. ‘They are still accountable for their actions. They might think they are getting away with something but in reality soul moves into the original mind to pay the debt.’

  ‘Kallo is racking up some serious Karma.’ I said.

  Why did he bother you ask? We were protected by Debra, Which is as good as light suit. All I can say is they will try every means to destroy me, yes; I am what they are after. Why bother again, as I can simply go back to base! At this stage, I don’t know, it is too soon after the blast to formulate any reasonable answers. Will students, give me a little time to recover my senses. Debra said, ‘Would you like me to access the leader, Dan, to see if I could make him into a better person?’

  ‘No,’ Debra, thank you. He will be processed.’

  We returned back to the ship and are on course for Feriensa the highly civilized planet where they had discovered one of our underground bases. It was time for the population to know about us, so I was to go with Deria and Debra to introduce ourselves.

  This, for once, seemed like an enjoyable mission. I just hope it would turn out to be so. I knew from Debra that three members of the public from Feriensa were potential Guardians, two of whom were the finders of the underground base! The news said that Aliens had founded a base there recently. The news had spread like wildfire, but in reality the base had been there for thousands of years. All I can say is they must be pretty smart to get by the security in a Guardian-base. Records show that they bypassed several anti-trespasser alarms which were supposed to trick them into believing that nothing was in the base but empty space, or just an empty cavern. The trip to Feriensa would take just five days traveling at what is now a record speed for any Guardian craft.

  Debra had upgraded to many times light speed. Don’t ask me how; I simply don’t know, yes, I know I am part of Debra but I am also Dan Sherman, and I am starting to realize that if I try to keep up with Debra I will be consumed by her! She also knows this, and so we are in a sort of partnership that lets the other person be separate, sort of, although I know I will have to struggle.

  The distance to Feriensa from Gasteal is 68 million light years, a trip w
hich is next to nothing for Debra with help from various worm holes.

  I was now starting to feel a lot easier with my new found job, I asked Deria if she wanted to dance and she said yes. As Students you will already know that I like to dance from my adventures when I first became a Guardian. Debra was also waiting to dance with me, as you already know. Can you imagine dancing with two of the most beautiful women in the multiverse and not getting tired in the bargain? Correction, three most beautiful women, as Reeas was now on the ship as a hologram. ‘Are you trying to get some dancing practice in without me?’

  I was now feeling pretty good, I can tell you. Suddenly, the alarm went off! Debra said that a ship had been scanned some hundreds of light years off our chosen direction.

  ‘What more info can you get? Debra.’

  ‘Just that it is a Poliderian Ore-Ship bound for Deriana one of their sister planets. It has been hijacked, and the crew has been taken away by the Felthen’s.’

  ‘Why hasn’t it been reported?’

  ‘The Felthen’s put a cloaking-device around the ship but I found it anyway.’

  ‘When did this happen?’

  ‘Several days ago, they intend to come back and take the ship to Hullza, one of the planets they took over after the war with the Relibarians.’

  ‘OK, report it to Guardian base, and we will pay the Felthen’s a little visit. They need to learn a little respect.’

  ‘How far away is the ship that took the hostages?’

  ‘Within easy catching distance’ Debra said.

  ‘Good, let us do a little hostage taking ourselves.’

  I was starting to tap into Debra’s super mind. I knew we didn’t need to get to Feriensa in any hurry, we had time to spare. The Felthen’s were a dominant race in the Temerarian-Galaxy, and they had taken over several planets and subsequent moons. I was now getting information from Debra about everything to do with them, as she was now accessing their ships database. I knew we would catch up with the ship in less than two hours. I sat down in the restroom, it didn’t matter where on board I was I could still access Debra. I began to think of all the adventures I have had since becoming a Guardian.

  Students will also be able to access them; for me, they are sometimes like dreams, yet I can access them from Debra and they are more than real! My consciousness has risen beyond all expectations as Sionn said, but I can still remember my past lives. I am still Dan Sherman in every sense of the word, yet, I am also part of this higher consciousness which is Debra, or God himself, or itself.’

  I want to stay as Dan Sherman; after all, it is the culmination of all my past lives, but I know I will have to move on sometime. Don’t forget, students, there is nothing more sure than change itself.’ OK, we were now in contact distance with the Felthen ship, contact meaning they could now message us if we wanted them to. We were under cloak at the moment and shadowing them. Debra said, ‘Do you want me to neutralize their weapons, Dan?’

  ‘Not just yet, Debra.’

  I was starting to realize that this little incident might also be a plot to get me.

  ‘Can you read anything out of the ordinary about the mental condition of the crew? Deria’

  ‘I will go over and check, Dan,’

  ‘Everything checks out here Dan, said Debra, all they seem to want is the Ore-Ship.’

  ‘Thank you Debra, can you message Feriensa, tell them who we are, and what has happened, also tell them we won’t be able to come as scheduled, but we can arrange to interview the potential Guardians later. Tell them we know that Feriensa is ready to receive knowledge about the Guardian-Network, and anything else that is relevant. Oh, and secure the Guardian base from anymore interference.’

  ‘OK, Dan.’

  Reeas was again on view as a hologram. She said, ‘I am starting to feel something of what you are going through, Dan, in the short time I have been in training I have gained some of Deria’s powers. The mental side of things has increased in me.’

  ‘Yes, I said, I feel somewhat hesitant to board their ship. You know the Felthen’s are highly advanced in mental control.

  ‘Yes, that is why I came to warn you!’

  ‘Thank you, Reeas.’

  As you students know, I have had a few dealings with certain beings that also had high mental control. Why is it that some people who get highly evolved want to rule the Universe or anywhere else? I suppose it is after centuries of religion and spirituality they find that they don’t need it; they can produce anything with their fabrication machines and go anywhere with their starships. I know one thing we won’t find any potential Guardians on the Felthen’s ship!

  After some more time trying to access Debra and also tune myself into the Felthen network, I decided to stop their ship and just leave them with life support while we accessed their database in inaccessible mode. We simply transported ourselves over as easy as walking from our ship to theirs. I now call it Debra-mode; the difference is that before I had to use a light suit which could still touched by anyone, but now we are totally protected, invisible, and untouchable! Deria was now back, she said that the Felthen crew checked out, but their seemed to be a presence on board that she could not find!

  ‘OK, I said, everyone please be aware that there may be a spy on board! I feel a bad vibes coming from the ship.’

  Debra said, ‘The ship is totally safe, Dan.’

  ‘I know Debra, but I feel a trap is waiting for us.’

  ‘Dan,’ Debra said, ‘do you know what my name means?’

  ‘Please, Debra, not now.’

  ‘I’m just trying to lighten the tension, as you call it.’

  ‘Yes, Debra, I know you are, and yes, I know what your name means, as I am now a part of you.’

  ‘What does it mean? Dan.’

  It means ‘the Bee,’ or an ‘Industrious Woman.’ I said.

  ‘Very good, Dan, you know I want to be recognized as a separate part of you. I also want to protect you and I want you to feel that you can rely on me for anything. OK team, let’s go.’

  She was now dressed in a combat uniform with all the stuff that goes with it!

  ‘Debra, there is no need to wear that gear! They won’t be able to see us anyway.’

  ‘I know, she said, but you can see me, and I want to look professional!’

  I must try harder to keep myself in check I thought! Once on board their ship we soon found the hostages, I was appalled to find they had been tortured not with the usual physical stuff, but with mental-probes; these were devices that had been banned for millennia in any civilized star system.

  ‘Can you help them, Debra?’ I said.

  ‘I’m afraid not, Dan, they are as good as dead.’ I was feeling pretty angry, I can tell you, students! OK, time for action. I noticed a sort of misty dark shape hovering to my left.

  ‘Do you see it, Debra, Deria?’

  ‘Yes, Dan.’ said Deria.

  ‘I can feel it more than see it.’ said Debra.

  ‘OK, please form a triangle around it, I said; now, concentrate on it.’ Within a short time it became visible. I knew it to be a Shadow-Person; they are entities which have been seen since time immemorial. Of course, it couldn’t see us or hear us, as we were in high-cloaking mode, but it knew something was wrong.

  ‘Do the Felthen’s know about this, Debra?’

  ‘There is nothing on the databank, but maybe it was brought on board with no info about it being given to the crew.’

  ‘That’s exactly right,’ said Deria, this creature is a clone of one of the astral entities which used to be used to bring victims untold agony. The poor souls who are lying here are testament to this; whatever you do don’t let it touch you.’

  ‘Why? I thought we were protected by Debra?

  ‘We don’t know for sure how much mental ability it has. You could be trapped it a lower region.’

  ‘Yes, but I have been trapped before.’

  ‘Don’t forget, this entity has been manufacture
d by the Felthen’s who are highly advanced in mind control, anything could happen. I believe it is waiting for you! In fact, I believe the whole thing is a set-up just to get you, Dan.’

  ‘Surely not,’ I said.

  ‘Dan, this creature is a physical manifestation of an astral entity of great power; that is why the Felthen’s kept it such a secret! No one on the ship knows about it! They don’t even know these poor people here!’

  ‘OK, we will have to put this creature in isolation. Deria, is there any safe way to get it back to base?’

  ‘No Dan, we will have to kill it.’

  I will notify base that it is on the way Dan, said Debra, I will also kill it we don’t want you racking up any more Karma, do we?’

  I knew this last comment wasn’t like Debra. I was now getting worried again. Suddenly, Debra’s face changed into a dark ugly shape then it became normal again! I then noticed a small dark shape on her leg! I could now see the dark matter starting to spread up Debra’s body!

  ‘What the hell am I supposed to do?’ I shouted.

  Deria pointed her hand at the entity and a light of the highest intensity came forth. The entity then disappeared, but Debra was still half covered with the dark matter! She was also pointing her arm at me in the same way as Deria did. I thought I was going to be absorbed with her power. Time seemed to stand still. I could now see Deria looking around as though she had lost something! What the hell am I doing here? I thought.

  I am the most hated man in the Multiverse thanks to Kallo, who is now in a security cell on the astral sub base, and he has been sent to Mannus himself to be treated, and is now no threat! In fact, we worked together some time back and he even likes me! I am now pursued all over the Multiverse by his agents who he himself trained! Suddenly there was an almighty blast! I was taken aback again, just like when we were on Gastreal. All I could do was sit down in the lotus position as Sionn came into view!

  ‘What happened?’ I said.

  ‘Sorry, Dan, we had to keep things incognito.’

  ‘Who are we?’ I said.

  ‘Deria, Debra and Reeas, he said.’

  ‘Reeas?’ I said.

  ‘Yes, she kept us informed about the ongoing situation.’

  ‘What about Debra?’ I said.

  ‘She is OK.'

  'But, I saw her change into a dark shape.’

  ‘Yes, she was doing as ordered.’

  ‘What?’

  ‘We needed to get information about agents also we have now many times more info about their network.’

  ‘Wait a minute.’ I said, can anyone tell me why I can’t be consulted about these things?’

  ‘Sorry, Dan, it was the only way to get Debra close to the agents. We knew she wouldn’t have harmed you, plus she has now located twenty five more agents in the last few seconds!’

  ‘Yes, I know.’ I said, ‘I am part of her.’

  ‘Yes, but you are still Dan Sherman: and as such you are susceptible.’

  I thought I was untouchable, but all I seem good for is to be kept in the dark!’

  ‘Dan, listen, I am sorry I have to keep you in the dark on certain things, but believe me, it is for the best. Debra is now the most powerful force in the Multiverse; can you begin to understand that!’

  Yes.’ I said.

  ‘Can you understand also, why we didn’t tell you about Debra seemingly being taken over by the agent?’

  ‘I think so. I said.’

  ‘Why then?’ Sionn asked.’

  ‘It is because you wanted time to locate and destroy the entity and locate the agents.’

  No!’ he said. ‘We wanted it to believe that Debra has now been infected by it. The entity has been destroyed, but it has now gone to one of the astral lower regions where it is still in existence.’

  ‘So, you’re saying the word will get around that I am destroyed, or the network is affected!’

  ‘Exactly, agents will believe that we are vulnerable.’

  ‘I wanted to tell you Dan.’ said Debra!

  ‘Thank you, Debra.’

  Reeas said, ‘Don’t be annoyed, Dan, it was for the best.’

  ‘OK,’ I said, ‘but you can understand why I feel a little aggravated.’

  ‘Yes,’ Sionn said, ‘but we are now getting word that the Shadow-Person was more than an agent, it was a Master in its own right! You did extremely well in finding it Dan, and Deria.’

  ‘I could feel it also.’ said Debra!’

  ‘Yes, thank you Debra.’ Sionn said. ‘Now, all that needs to be done is for your students to upload a report on the mission, Dan.’

  ‘Yes, I’m sure they already know that.’ I said.

  ‘Sorry, students, Sionn does seem to take control when he is in the room, or anywhere else for that matter, onwards my friends.
