Ace Of Terrans

Jenkins controlled the ship impeccably maintaining the course told by the Neomons. He said, "I did not even feel so stressed during my first flight, the air is so heavy here."

Quinn was reading the atmospheric data and said, "Indeed the concentration of elements is rich on this planet. Darcx, what do you have for me?"

Darcx was monitoring the ship's defense system and said, "They have almost all the defense satellites in this region locked on to us, at the same time, the ground is crawling with celestial ballistics. If they are attempting to intimidate us, then they have succeeded."

Amelia chuckled and said, "That is not all, look at the place of landing, in front of the royal palace of Nestia. Looks like our status has been promoted, from exchange students to royal captives."

The other three shook their heads at this. They had not expected the Neomons to come at them so strongly. Regardless of that, Jenkins controlled the ship and after the clouds were clear, they got the proper picture of their destination.

While the boys let out a low whistle, the girls were watching the screen with their mouths half-open. Amelia said, "This is not a fantasy right? We have not by mistake died already and having this dream."

Quinn walked to stand beside Darcx and slapped him hard, the man yell in pain, and Quinn said, "We are alive, that much is confirmed."

Jenkins said, "Amelia what is it that made you say such a thing?"

Darcx said, "Yes, slap yourself if you have to confirm if it is true." with an aggrieved expression.

Amelia replied with a sigh, "That palace in front of us, according to the sensors is made up of Mythril. Completely."

The control room rang out with a collective curse, "WHAT THE FUCK."

Jenkins asked with an agitated expression, "Are you fucking serious? That much Mythril, I can buy half of our moon with that."

Darcx nodded and said, "Damn, how are they so rich?"

Quinn was doing something on her computer and said, "Turns out, this palace is not made up of Mythril tiles but it is a structure, carved out of a mountain. This is a monolith architecture."

Amelia gulped and asked, "How will they be able to carve something like this?"

They all looked at each other and had no answers. Jenkins said, "Wake up the two of them, we are here."

Amelia pressed a button on her console and the rejuvenation pod inside the med bay stopped keeping Shi Lang into induced sleep. The liquid inside the pod was flushed out and the boy got out. Soon after him Rosa Blues. The two people stretched out as they came out of the pods, and made their way back to the deck.

Once in his command chair, Shi Lang asked the crew to report what happened in the past two hours, when they told him where they were headed and what the place was like Shi Lang yawned and said, "Land and dock."

Jenkins replied, "Docking permissions acquired, initiating sequence." that said, the ship docked to the space drop, and their communications were hailed. Quinn patched up and the person in the video said, "Hello friends from afar, I am Melody, I serve as the handmaid of The Queen, Her Majesty Nexalia Neytiri. On behalf of her majesty, I extend our warm welcome to you. Please wait till an officer comes over to escort you all to meet her majesty. I advise that you all change into your formal attires. Thank you."

The communication was disconnected after the lady stopped speaking. Rosa said, "Did she look down on us?"

Shi Lang replied, "Yes, she did, after all, we are ants here, even ants have a better status in this place." in a calm voice.

They were all geniuses, and they all had unlimited potential, given the status they enjoyed back in The Federation, here they will be nothing like that, on the contrary, worse than their lowest is possible. With a sigh, the people got up and went to their rooms. They were asked to dress up, then dress up they shall.

Shi Lang put on a royal blue three-piece tuxedo with black shoes and waxed up his hair. His cufflinks were models of planet earth. Amelia wore a gone matching royal blue ball gown, her hair was styled in a half up and half down style. A hairpin with an earth model as the exposed clip held them together. A decently diamond necklace was adoring her neck.

Jenkins wore a steel gray tuxedo, while Darcx had his black tuxedo on. Quinn donned a cherry-pink ball gown and Rosa took up a silver mermaid gown for her. The man had cufflinks with the earth logo while the ladies had similar pins. Zysha had been placed inside a rejuvenation pod, she did not feel too good from the space jumps, at this moment she stood behind beside Shi Lang, with her glowy blue fur and silver ornaments on her neck and ear.

They waited inside the holding bay for five minutes after getting dressed when Jenkins said, "They are asking us to unlock the door. Shi Lang nodded and Jenkins tapped on his communicator, the ship entrance opened.

Shi Lang raised his hand and Amelia gently took it. At this moment the team noticed them wearing rings on their ring finger. Jenkins said, "You bloody couple came here for a honeymoon."

The other three chuckled. Shi Lang said, "I would to have you two men, act like men and not horny dogs outside this ship. If I found you tarnishing the Terran name, I will break you, repair you and then break you again. Do you understand?"

"Sir, Yes, Sir." replied the two men. Rosa said, "Be disciplined, but not too uptight. Shi Lang nodded, by now the hatch door was completely opened.

A figure dressed in armor walked over with ten others following them. The person placed a hand over his heart and said, "I am the leader of the palace guard, Helix Aremis. You may address me as, Captian Aremis. I am here to welcome you to the palace."

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "I am the leading representative of the delegation, Ace, pleased to meet you Captain Aremis." Then he turned slightly and gestured to everyone to make introductions. His conduct was akin to a noble civilian, elegant and eloquent.

Ameris nodded and gestured for them to follow her. After they came down the ship, Ameris took them to an open head carriage that was floating in the void, with four white horses tied ahead of it. Ameris said, "This is the royal guest carriage, please."

Shi Lang held the door with his free hand and said, "After you." to Amelia.

Amelia smiled at him and then she got onto the carriage. Followed by her, Rosa, and Quinn. Shi Lang and the boys were last. Three people sat on both sides of the seat while Zysha sat between them.

The palace guard leader was surprised by their etiquettes and could not help but ask, "Do men in your world, have no sense of pride? Why did you allow the women to go up first?" as she sat down in the coachman's seat.

Shi Lang replied, "All men have pride, however, ones who understand that just because we allow a woman, who holds the power of creation ahead of us to be seated, are real men. Are they not?"

Ameris nodded and said, "Interesting point of view. I see that only you were holding hands with this lady, why are the others not doing so?"

This lady was very curious about the guests from afar. Shi Lang again replied, "Because the lady beside me is my wife. We are companions, while the others are not."

Ameris was shocked and said, "You people sure have a unique culture, Neomons do not allow their men to hold them like this. Men are not actually worthy of women, that is what we believe in."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "I understand and somewhat agree as well, however, without coming together, none of them can exist. Just like without earth to walk on, the sky is just void."

The two people conversed a lot. Shi Lang was an intellectual person and he did not mind talking about such things, however, he was unaware that every action there was being watched by a pair of glowing eyes. The observer was none other than the Queen of this planet, Nexalia Neytiri.

She mumbled, "They are interesting. Finally, the boredom will end."

As the carriage was moving forward to the Mythril palace, whole Nestia was getting eager to find what these new visitors held for them. Shi Lang and the others were not only talking and observing the scenery, but they were also taking into account the soldiers and their weapons.

The nanobots inside the ship had all begun to move out undetected, following a command code. Soon, the group will be meeting the Queen of the world that awaits them.
