The Almighty Ring

Her old master was no longer a threat to her, especially now after Braveheart has successfully secured its energy depot and was now fully charged.
Akatziris no longer had any reason to be fearful of Jiang Fei.

 “That’s what I said! Come at me!” Jiang Fei shouted back.

 “What a touching display of heroism! It’s no wonder why so many girls fell for you so easily, my dear master!” Akatziris teased.
But after laughing about it for a bit, her smile quickly turned into a snarl.

 “But why should I oblige you with such luxury?” The android changed from playful teasing to hostile faster than the turning of a page.
And as her tone changed, bright white lights shot out from the cell walls and instantly enveloped Jiang Fei’s mother!

 “No!” Jiang Fei felt his heart jumping up to his throat.
He charged at the beams of light in an attempt to block them with his body, but was repelled by the seemingly intangible power.

 “Oh master,” Akatziris sang again.
“Please pay close attention to my fingers!” The android laughed as she lifted up her open hand in display right in front of her, and slowly closed one finger, and another, and then a third finger…

 It was obvious that she was doing a countdown right in front of Jiang Fei, a countdown to his mother’s demise! Akatziris had every intention to torture Jiang Fei beyond any feeling of anguish and devastation that he had ever experienced!

 “No! 0541! I beg you! Please save mother!” When Akatziris had counted down to the last finger, Jiang Fei was already at his breaking point.
He was not willing to watch his very own mother get reduced to particles.

 “Time’s up!” Akaziris laughed as she slowly closed her last finger.

 “…”

 Nothing happened.
Mrs.
Jiang was not being disintegrated, although she was still being confined by the white light.

 “0541! What the h*ll is going on?!” Akatziris frowned.
Although she had heard Jiang Fei calling out to 0541 for help, she did not believe it was possible for the virtual assistant to go against its core directives and the captain’s orders, and help the enemy instead.

 “Captain, the ship was damaged in the solar flare.
Some of our circuits were fried!” 0541 answered.

 “F*ck! Repair them now!” Akaziris barked.
All that continuous disruption to her entertainment had fouled her mood.

 “Right away, captain!” 0541 got to work immediately.
And as the assistant left the others to carry out his captain’s orders, he took one last glance at Jiang Fei and thought silently to himself, “This is as far as I can go, my friend.
It all comes down to you and your luck now.
This is all I can do for you.”

 When the black spot had erupted into the first solar flare, many of Braveheart’s electronics have been affected.
Some of the circuits were even fried up by the sudden intense radiation.
Even though this was not enough to destabilize the enormous ship, but one of the damaged circuits just so happen to affect the proper functioning of the ship’s weaponry.

 0541 was supposed to have immediately commenced repairing as soon as that had happened.
But in order to buy Jiang Fei more time, the assistant had deliberately ignored the ship’s warning messages.
That was the most he could do without his actions being deemed as a form of mutiny against the captain’s authority by his core programmed directives.

 But now that Akatziris had personally ordered him to repair the ship, he was no longer able to disobey nor delay it any longer, and was forced to complete the task as fast as he could.

 “It seems like lady luck has been very generous with you, my dear master.
But no matter.
We will soon be leaving the sun’s orbit, and all these hiccups shall be dealt with in a matter of minutes.
And by then, there should be nothing to stop us from enjoying ourselves!” Akatziris laughed aloud as the the platform retracted into the ceiling of the holding cell, leaving Jiang Fei and the others with the chilling echoes of her cackling.
