My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 58-A duel WITH Nio

"Hey, Nio...you and I haven't really had any personal conversation due to the Rocky relationship I have with your brother but I hope you can hear me right now...I know you don't want to do this, you're just being manipulated, can you try to drop the weapon" I tried to talk him out of his control phase, playing calm but I doubt it's working because instead of him dropping his swords, he raised it....high into the sky, ready to strike but I immediately willed it away from his hands using my telekinetic force which formed a blue rim around the sword, I projected my hands forward holding the force on the sword as he tried to pull it towards me, I shook my head as he kept trying to pull the sword in the air while I hold the force on it firmly, eventually he gave up and tried to me but I moved the sword to his neck.

"Don't move any closer Nio" I warned pressing the sword firmly to his neck but something occurred to me when he smiled mischievously, I immediately moved the sword away from his neck as he tried moving forward ready to kill himself.

"Are you f*****g crazy?!" I bellowed as I willed the sword towards the broken window which by accident struck a Ghafil making his approach through the window.

"Oops" I muttered to myself as his green blood stained the white floor and glasses around.

"Please Nio, stand back" I pleaded but instead he stretched his hand to me and slowly clenched making an invincible force grab my neck, totally forgot he was a royal alien...telekinesis runs in the f*****g family, I struggled with the imaginary force around my neck before I used my own force to throw him back.

"f**k!" I cursed as I immediately dropped to the ground after he lost concentration. He controlled the one of the floating chairs towards me and I dodged, controlling the lamp on my bedside table towards him.

"Oh c'mon" I groaned as he slowly raised the broke pieces of the window and setting them for me so I had to make the floating table swiftly fly for me and block the attempt of piercing me, most of the glass protruded at the other side of the table but thankfully, none harmed me, turning the table around I swerved it for him and he swiftly dodged then turning to me with an angry expression on his face, was the former queen making him do that as well? I couldn't tell but seriously Barb needs to do something fast. I thought as Nio started to reform broken pieces of furniture into sharp long object, probably as a weapon.

“Not this time Nio” I muttered to myself forming heavy cosmic blast in my hands as the purple glow suddenly overshadow the light in the room, the confused look on Nio’s face earned me a satisfied grin.

“Next time when I say No, I really really mean it” I let out a mischievous laughter before blasting him off, I slowly lifted myself up into the air and towards him hoping to God I haven’t given him any serious injury but when I got closer I felt a powerful force sent me back, having me slamming my back hard against the wall, I felt another force moved me away slamming me heavily to another part of the room making me groan, I felt my stomach hurt and worry immediately enveloped me, especially after I saw a purple liquid trail down my thigh soaking the light linen I had on. No…I panicked looking up at Nio with blazing eyes, I felt an immense measure of anger eveloped and I immediately built an invincible energy barrier around me then electric sparks flew from my hand but I was ready to grow it bigger, I was clouded by my anger and I couldn’t think straight as I started to grow the electric lines in my hand but then Nio staggered back, eyes cleared, groaning softly as he shut tight his eyes before opening it again.

“Claire-

“I’ve been going too easy on you isn’t it?” I thundered feeling electricity rushing through every part of my body and ready to direct everything to him.

“I’m sorry, I had no idea it was you, I wouldn’t have done, it wasn’t me doing it…please Claire, I would never hurt you-

“That wouldn’t have been very offensive, you hurt my baby!” My voice echoed as I made the electric sparks travel around me in circles.

“Please, I didn’t mean to do anything like that, it wasn’t me please…please, we have to go and help my brother, I can feel he’s in danger” That kinda got me.

“What? Hero…what happened to him?” I questioned feeling my senses slowly returned to me.

“I can feel he’s in trouble” Nio repeated and I held my head feeling my anger slowly start to subside but the blue current travelling around me hasn’t stopped and without thinking I stretched my hands out towards them and I felt them slowly moving to my fingertips after which I felt the sudden urge to close my eyes then I felt it travel through me, energizing me in a way I had never felt before.

“I’m sorry, it wasn’t me trying to hurt you, I was under a singers spell” Nio apologised and I heaved a heavy sigh of relief glad he was back to his old self which also means Barb had somehow managed to rid the control and stop the former queen.

“I think we should go right now” I declared running into the palace hallway, trying to find Barb. The palace was a complete mess, the servants and maids looked confused and perplexed, they must have all been under the queen’s spell for sure, there were broken pieces of plates, furniture, weapons were all scattered on the floor…green blood of Ghafils were spilled on the untainted white of the palace walls and floors, I couldn’t describe the pain written on all their faces as they watch the lifeless bodies of their kind on the floor, there was a particular alien who seems to be under a panic attack as he was screaming on top of his lungs on seeing few dead bodies around him, poor being. I thought as I just walked past all of them trying to find my robot, then I saw her, walking towards us with a missing arm.

“What the-“ I couldn’t hide my shock, disconnected wires and stings could be seen protruding out of her arm hole, on her head was the head of the Ghafil former queen stuck on the dagger her hand had formed into.

“What-“ I was still trying to ask when Barb dropped the head of the tyrant which immediately rolled to my feet, sorry it took so long, a distress message had been sent from the space control unit, it seems Zullion is losing its hold at the outpost, the king also isn’t very happy about it and he’s ordering every offensive retaliation-

“Barb, first…what happened to your arm?” I questioned as calmly as I could as I was really about to panic.

“I had so many of them on me so I had to disembodied myself so I could-

“You removed your own arm?” I almost couldn’t believe my ears.

“I didn’t have a choice Claire, why do you have blood on yourself-

“So, you were pretending at first, Barb why the f**k where you addressing me informally when you came to my room?” I was frowning now.

“It was an order from the king, he was going remove me as your robot if I didn’t obey him…I’m sorry Claire” A wide smile grew on my face as I felt a sudden warmth wrapped me up, Barb slowly moved up to me and retracted her weaponized hand and slowly making it into her normal palm which she put over my stomach.

“I think we really need to go get my brother, his Zullion’s only hope right now?” Nio who had been impatiently watching my little reunion with Barb finally voiced.

“Your baby isn’t in the right position Claire, if you do not shift him properly, he would be born an handicap” Barb’s words took me aback and I felt myself pale by the realisation.

“But…what am I gonna do?” I questioned slowly moving my hand to my baby bump.

“Give me some minute to find my arm, I can self-repair” Barb paused and shifted gazes from Nio to me and from me back to Nio.

“The king just sent out another distress signal, I think he’s in an urgent need of help-

“How about my baby?” I inquired.

“Your chances of still birth and also having an handicap baby, will increase every minute, he’s sleeping on his neck” My shoulders sagged at the news as my mind fell deep into another deep abyss of massive confusion.
