Trema\u2019s butler, Lorko, approached the landing pad as the ramp came down. He looked distressed. \u201cUn Rala!\u201d (My Lady!) he wailed. \u201cLe rodane, tami cori!\u201d (Is needed, your help!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am aware of my son\u2019s predicament,\u201d replied Trema. \u201cI came here as soon as I heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot your son,\u201d answered Lorko, \u201cyour other spouses! They disappeared! Lady Grax says she has business concerning them! She\u2019s here now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOf course, she is,\u201d snarled Trema. \u201cLet me see her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight here,\u201d called a voice. A female Nebulan came forward, dressed as lavishly as Llyra, but allowing her cybernetics to be shown. She was accompanied by a Nebulan man that Amy was familiar with. The man was also outfitted with the same cybernetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never pegged you to be binary-bonded with anyone,\u201d growled Trema to the woman, Grax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy partner, Skullcruncher,\u201d replied Grax, \u201cis quite the Rival Eliminator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd then there\u2019s you!\u201d hissed Amy as she pointed to the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDo I know you?\u201d asked the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe met on Mobius!\u201d answered Amy. \u201cYou were working with Aaron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, yes, the Scarlet Specter,\u201d replied the man, Krunk. \u201cTell me, what happened after the battle?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAaron\u2019s in prison! As you should be, from what Trema told me!\u201d snarled Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have Zarak to thank for that,\u201d answered Krunk. \u201cHe pardoned me on the condition that I would scout out your planet to see if any wizards or witches could easily be manipulated to serve us. Regrettably, I was unsuccessful and so left Mobius after that business with the Eggman Transformers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m always a fan of nostalgia,\u201d interjected Grax, \u201cbut we have some business to attend to.\u201d She started handing out data pads to Stylor and Trema. \u201cThe criminals\u2019 signatures for your records,\u201d she explained, \u201cfor the servants on your estate, and for our assurance that you have copies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut\u2026you haven\u2019t even told me what the charges are!\u201d snarled Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, I haven\u2019t,\u201d replied Grax. She stayed quiet for a while. Trema rolled her eyes before getting on one knee and bowing her head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou honor my house with your presence,\u201d she muttered before kissing the ring on Grax\u2019s finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour son is charged,\u201d revealed Grax as Trema stood up, \u201cwith violating Nebulan Civil Law, Subsection 1,008, Paragraph 45.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not sure as I\u2019m familiar with that particular part Civil Law,\u201d remarked Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen you need to obtain a copy of the Laws,\u201d chuckled Krunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhich YOU happen to have!\u201d hissed Trema as she knelt again. \u201cYou honor my house with your presence,\u201d she proclaimed before kissing his ring. He then handed Trema a pad containing every single law on Nebulos. \u201cLet\u2019s see,\u201d muttered Trema as she started searching. \u201cCivil Law\u2026Subsection 1,008\u2026Paragraph 45.\u201d She then read the appropriate law. \u201cFormation of counter-intuitive political movement?\u201d muttered Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour other spouses,\u201d explained Grax, \u201chave presented themselves to the Council of Peers this morning to explain the crimes of Galen, Son of Stylor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat is he charged with?\u201d asked Trema. Grax and Krunk said nothing. Trema sighed as she knelt again. \u201cYou\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGet up!\u201d growled Llyra. \u201cThese idiots do not deserve to be honored by you!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho are you to interrupt?\u201d called Krunk. \u201cYou are a High-class citizen like us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m not just any High-class citizen!\u201d snarled Llyra. \u201cI\u2019m Llyra, Daughter of Zarak, commander of the Black Battalion! You will tell us what Trema wants to know or I will have you idiots removed from your current positions and sent to the Swamp Mines!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot even you have the right to threaten us!\u201d roared Grax as she and Krunk pressed a button on their left wrists. Their clothes were teleported away as armor took their place, complete with helmets. On the back of the armor were upside-down faces. Llyra then pressed a button on her bracelet and summoned her armor, not as high-tech as Krunk and Grax\u2019s, but it gets the job done. Her opponents swung a punch at her head, but she ducked, grabbing their arms, then flinging them into a wall. She then strapped her Ban\u2019grazas onto her arms and held them to her opponents necks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow,\u201d she whispered, \u201cwhy is my betrothed, the head of the World Watchers, in prison?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI see no reason to\u2026!\u201d snarled Grax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe\u2019s charged with forming the Autobot sympathetic Nebulan Destiny Movement!\u201d yelped Krunk. \u201cA dissident movement demanding a restructuring of the government!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFORAMI!\u201d (COWARD!) bellowed Grax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA dissident movement?\u201d cried Llyra. \u201cMy Galen?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTypical Galen,\u201d muttered Stylor. \u201cHe can be so hot-headed sometimes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLeave this estate now,\u201d warned Llyra to Krunk and Grax, \u201cbefore I risk dishonor by staining Nebulos\u2019 soil with blood.\u201d Krunk and Grax tool the hint and fled in Krunk\u2019s jet, or should I say, his partner, the Decepticon triple-changer, Snapdragon. As Snapdragon took off, Llyra considered the next move. \u201cI need the history of the Nebulan Destiny Movement,\u201d she declared. \u201cSee if they vandalized public property, assaulted officials, anything of that nature.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSee if they actually harmed your father\u2019s administration or if they just voiced their opinions,\u201d guessed Trema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMost likely the latter,\u201d mused Stylor, \u201cif I know Galen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLet\u2019s start researching,\u201d proclaimed Llyra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zarak, an elderly Nebulan, was finishing up some paperwork. His cybernetic hand wrote his signature onto the screen built into his desk when his intercom beeped. He pressed a button to accept the call. \u201cSpeak,\u201d he demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSnapdragon has arrived with Krunk and Grax,\u201d replied his secretary. \u201cThey wish to speak with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, I just finished my paperwork,\u201d mused Zarak. \u201cI have some free time. Send them in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt once, My Lord,\u201d replied the secretary. The call ended and Krunk and Grax were permitted entry. Zarak saw them massaging their bruises. They were back in their normal clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat happened?!\u201d called Zarak. \u201cDid Trema do this?! Because, if she did,\u201d a wicked grin crossed his face, \u201cthat\u2019s enough to keep her precious Galen in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt wasn\u2019t Trema!\u201d hissed Grax. \u201cIt was your headstrong daughter!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLlyra?!\u201d growled Zarak. \u201cWhat did you say around her?! I told you idiots to be tactful in her presence!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy are you blaming us?!\u201d protested Grax. \u201cWe\u2019re the victims here!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll we did,\u201d replied Krunk, \u201cwas get my sister to show us respect whenever she needed an answer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBALUKA!\u201d (IDIOTS!) roared Zarak. \u201cYou were lording your position onto a citizen in Llyra\u2019s presence! Do you know how much she values our planet\u2019s ideals of honor and respect?! She would fight you if you lorded your position onto a Low-class citizen!\u201d He sighed. \u201cDid you at least keep your mouths shut on the charges?\u201d The two shuffled their feet. \u201c\u2026I don\u2019t like your silence!\u201d snarled Zarak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKrunk blabbed about it when she threatened him!\u201d explained Grax. \u201cIt was a minor threat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou call a Ban\u2019graza to the throat a minor threat?!\u201d yelped Krunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cA Ban\u2019graza to the throat?\u201d repeated Zarak, his tone indicating he regained control of his temper. He then chuckled quietly. \u201cI think we can use THAT to our advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve lost me, My Lord,\u201d replied Grax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe dissident movement has distressed my daughter so much,\u201d began Zarak, \u201cthat she is trying to gain answers as to why Galen would suddenly turn power-hungry. Thus, she will attack ally and enemy alike to get answers.\u201d Krunk and Grax then got the hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going into tomorrow\u2019s speech,\u201d guessed Krunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExactly,\u201d replied Zarak. \u201cNow, if you\u2019ll excuse me, I must draft said speech up. Despite the hiccup at Trema\u2019s estate, you have performed your duties to the Imperial Republic with distinction. Keep this up, and you two will be Traboons in no time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you, Oh Gracious Zarak,\u201d praised Grax. She and Krunk knelt down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou honor us with your words,\u201d they bid. They then kissed his ring and departed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLlyra, Llyra, Llyra,\u201d chuckled Zarak. \u201cYou should know better than that. A politician can use any event to their advantage. This will make the Imperial Summit in a week\u2019s time easier.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
