The Leviathans atempt of escape was in vein. She was no where near ready to StarBurst as the command carriers surrounded her, out in these vast depths of space so far from anywhere she felt cold.... alone. The Peacekeepers  broadcasted threats to her unless she surrendered . They had Ha'kankul and they said he would be exacuted if she did not surrender. She refused . If they caught her ...she had heard rumours of the terrible things that the PeaceKeepers could do to a Leviathan. And would certainly happen to her. The captain broadcasted again , one last chance or they would kill her mate, fear started consuming her. What if they did kill him? It would be all her fault. Caught up in her thoughts, the captain told her she had no chioce. He had been killed. Grief hit her like an exploding star , no,no. It couldn't be true; she had lost him , and it was her fault . Guilt panged inside her , and at the same time her pilot tryed to tell her she wasn't to blame; the Leviathan refused to listen. Peacekeeper ships swarmed in on her like draks to a star as she let them dock her. There was nothing left she really cared about, there would be no piont of putting up a fight now. Unles......fear suddenly welled up inside her. If all those rumours were true, she would be loosing someone else she cared about ; if her pilot put up a fight she surely would be exacuted. The leviathan's senses blurred as she slipped into a deep sleep as anesetic flowed through her. Again she would go through hell , the Peacekeepers would hurt her . Just like the first moments of her life when the ruthless Leviathan hunters had killed her perants........Darkness poured  in from every corner and she slipped into the unconsious world.

 

 

 

The pilot waited in her chamber for the peacekeepers to come. For them to deside her fate. They had slaughtered her ship's mate in way's she didn't want to imagin. The peacekeepers must be pure evil. to not even care who they hurt , as long as they got their way. Moya was slipping away so fast her pilot feared that she'd never wake up. The door swang open making her jump and the peacekeepers surrounded her, they had guns. The captian threatened her. He said he would kill her if she didn't co-operate. How could he ask her to help them hurt Moya? The thought that they expected her to hurt Moya , who she cared about so much angered her.

 

"How could you ask me to hurt her!?" The pilot spat "don't you understand what it is to love someone!?" If they didn't even know what it was like , if they didn't even care they had to be so small minded. the peacekeeper captain  gave her such a chilling look--

 

"i doubt even if I did know I would not even care. I do actually have important things to do." Bialar Crais said in a sadistic manner. He had his 'secret project' to get on with , to create a Leviathan gunship . Most of the Leviathan's had died and there was noone else to be his lab-rat. He had been searching for a test Leviathan for days and was not going to let anything go wrong. "now will you come easy or or put up a fight?" he asked. A man standing beside the captain spoke up-

 

"Captain , please let me talk her round. She will put up a fight but if I could.." Pilot cut him off.

 

"I'm afraid I will put up a fight." She shot Crais a look in the eye and grinned nervously , expect them to do sometthing awful.

 

"guards subdue her!" Crais snapped and his troops approached her. One of the five drew out a very sinister looking weapon and pionted it at her. And fired. The pilot felt like she had touched a live wire. The pain was unbearable , she let out a scream and was rendered unconious.

 

 

The pilot's vision snapped into focuse, and cryed out for Moya but got no reply. Her arms had been tightly bound and for some reason she couldn't stop shaking. The air was cold. There was only one peacekeeper in the room-

 

"My name is Valorek , I believe you are holding back , you aren't helping Captain Crais." He said blunty .

 

"Oh , maybe I'm not." Pilot replyed shakily , she wasn't about to show a peacekeeper any sign of weakness. But deep down she was terrified. "What did you do to me?"

 

"I'm afraid Captain Crais saw it necisery to use that weapon on you , and I'm sorry." He was sorry? pilot was shocked by his reply, he was actually showing remorse , and he was a peacekeeper. "he will kill you if you don't participate. I've seen it happen many times."

 

Pilot lifted her head to look at him "I'm perfictly aware of that. But I'm not about to hurt Moya whatever the consequence." Suddenly Captain Crais burst into the room.

 

"Leutenant Valorek! how long will this take!" He shouted hystericly. Valorek stood up.

 

"I'm not quite sure sir.."

 

"then I will have to do this myself!" Crais bekoned some soldiers into the room as Valorek left. He didn;t want to see what they were going to do with the Pilot. Even as he entered his chamber they had started to torture the defenceless pilot , and he could hear her screams of agony echo down the corridor.

23 solar days later Valorek and his troops marched into the Pilot's chamber. So this was it . The end.

 

"Leutenant Valorek! This display of force will change nothing!" She snapped. Valoreks expression was cold , but at the same time. He looked as if he was conserned.

 

"This is not a display. I offer you one last chance to co-operate"

 

"I have been bonded to this Leviathan for 21 cycles!" the pilot hissed "two minds , two bodies, intertwined as one!Whatever you're secret project is. I will not partisipate!!"

 

Valorek retorted her reply "This Leviathan will do what I wish if you leed her to do so." He said bluntly

 

"You peacekeepers! Subjigate us , torture  us! and you expect us to co-operate! You have no understanding between the covenant between leviathan and Pilot!!"

 

Valorek's next reply gave her a chill.. "Et'karr'et'eta"

 

"another pilot? where?" She asked him.

 

"he's being held down at the transport bay awaiting your disision."

 

"I insist you reverse the control collar anestetic and re-awaken this Leviathan at once!" she yelled. Moya had been un-consious for so long and she couldn't bare the silence any longer

 

Suddenly captain Crais burst through the door making them jump and  looking very angry

 

"YOU INSIST!!" He screamed hystericly. "Leutenant! What is taking so long!"

 

 

Valorek walked up to his captian "I was just giving her one last chance to see the folly of your ways."

 

"You have secured a replacement pilot?" Crais growled,

 

"yes sir , but....." his captain cut him of

 

"fire!!!" The troops turned to face the pilot and fired their weapons. Moments later the pilot felt numbed by the constant pain  that throbbed and pulsed through her body, and everything ended there. Finely it was over. As the peacekeepers ceased firing Crais screamed at Valorek , and in return Valorek yelled at is troops. And one , who he knew well , took her helmet off. Valorek hated to have let her die. Captain Crais only cared about his secret project . He had never cared about her , or any of the other pilot's he had slaughtered.

Moya's sences suddenly cleared. Something was wrong....With her pilot. But where was her pilot! Moya was suddenly terrified, she felt an unfemeliar presence ; she demanded to know what  happened, where her pilot was. Moya tryed to StarBurst in panick but nothing happened, something was restricting her movement. This strange presance was another pilot. Moya knew he was panicking , but would do nothing about it ; something struck her flank, but there was nothing but empty space all around her. It was a pain pulse from the control collar that was now  securely placed around her nose..The pain slowy got worst and she had no choice but to except the pilot. And do what the peacekeepers told her do , then she learned of just how terrible the peacekeepers were. Her mate and pilot dead. All Moya had was this new pilot ,who she did not care for, so Moya had no more reasons to resist. Or even live. All she could do now was hope for death to take her, as Moya mourned her loses she wondered what had happened to her crew , they were probably dead aswell. She would spend the rest of her life a slave , however short or long that was anyway; she'd never find freedom again , never have friends , or a crew that even cared.

 

But Moya didn't know then that the arrival of some new prisoners and the arrival of a human named John Critchon would change her life. And give her a reason to live.

 

 

THE END
