Chapter 3> more aliens?! Welcome to colony 35



misty and I worked all night, fixing the ion drive, though I had to admit to myself, I became distracted at times, for one reason or another.

"attention, we are beginning docking sequence to colony 35, general kauru, deck chief misty, lieutenant himiwari, please come to the bridge immediately!" we looked at each other, then laughed a little, "geez, I wonder what it is this time, anyways lets go, I don't want to make her angry" I said as we headed up to the bridge, hina joined us on our way up, "you ok, hina, you look a little pale"

She smiled "im fine, just a little nervous, and well…"she looked at misty

"What? Is it cause im an alien??" she frowned

"Well, this is my first time meeting one, let alone speaking to one" we all laughed at that, and we headed through the doors to the bridge

"Captain! What's the status?"

"Alls well, were just about to dock"

"Good, could someone fill me in, don't forget im a bit behind the times here, and well I don't know what to expect" I asked

"Captain, if I may?" misty said

"Sure, go ahead, after all you know more about the place than me" the captain laughed



"well…" misty began "…space colony 35 was the first colony built by both the human race and my beast race, and so, both races live on this colony, though now there's more humans than beasts, and through the years our races have begun to mix. There are approximately 36 million humans alone on this colony, next to the 9 billion scattered throughout the galaxy. And there are 25 million beasts, next to the 18 billion throughout this galaxy, and the Pegasus galaxy.

Now, when we arrive there's probably gonna be a welcoming committee, a big one, your kinda famous, even among my people, so expect a warm welcome. But I should warn, you some of our race, doesn't take kindly to humans, and seek to oppress them, so its possible that their gonna try to pull something…" the captain interrupted "and that's why you, misty will be in charge of his safety, is that ok, keep your eyes on him, and don't let him out of your sights for even a moment" the captain ordered



There was a large clunk on the hull as the docking clamps latched onto the ikazu. Myself, Hina and Misty, followed by the captain, and Natsuke, Kira, and Jack, three of the bridge officers, walked along the umbilical tunnel into the concourse. We kept on walking along the concourse, to a balcony that overlooked the rest of the docks, I counted 12 ships similar in size to the ikazu, but in different shapes and colours. The commander lead us towards an elevator platform

"ok general, once we depart from here, misty will take you and hina to the penthouse. At 1500 hours tomorrow there will be a conference, one whare everything that happened in the last 1500 years will be explained to you. Don't be late" the commander said sharply as we departed from the elevator.



Misty lead us to where a car was waiting for us

"driver, the angel hotel, and step on it" misty sounded as she was getting agitated.

"the 'angel hotel'?..." I asked "…where's that?"

"its in the 3 section of the station, theres six sections in total, each with someone in charge of it, so there is a high council, comprised of 7 people. 2 human, 2 beast, 2 half breeds and one who oversees their actions. Im actually the daughter of the section 3s council member, so Im kinda famous myself, but I hate my father, he always treats me like a kid, always saying that I need to grow up, and become a 'PROPER LADY' geez like that'll ever happen, theres no way hes geiing me away from being a chief mechanic" she ranted on, but stopped when she saw my bewilderment.

"so you're a high class beast? Who works as a mechanic on the ikazu, interesting" she looked at me harshly "hey, hey, I was just having a laugh, geez"

the car came to a halt outside a large building which climbed all the way to the top of the dome like structure. We were ushered inside by misty who took us to the top floor which had views of both the city and space. We stared out towards the center of the station, it looked so huge

"you know. This is gonna take some getting used to"
