Chapter 289: Locked In Part Two (2/2)
*Boom!* *Boom!*
”Sir, shields are down. Please hurry! I can only hold them for so long.” Jin announced.
Misaki Kenji looked at the kids and mothers that were left and sighed. He turned to his men and made a firm decision. ”You four make sure they get through. Protect them with your lives. The rest of you are with me. We will hold them off as long as we can. If the portal gets destroyed, try to escape with the kids. If they make it through, disperse and do your best to live another day!!”
”Yes, sir!” Over five hundred of their soldiers yelled out at the same time. With Misaki Kenji in the lead, he led his men to buy them some time.

Misaki looked at the two black flamed eggs and sat down beside them. She opened her menu to see many of her kin were already dead, each of their names marked in red. She saw her wives and kids seemed to be safe, so were her mother and her sisters, but when she looked at her father's name, it began to flicker before turning red... Tears began to well up in her eyes as she touched his name, bringing up his menu. Next to his name in his status window, it read deceased.
”Chiho...” Misaki sent a message to Chiho.
”Misaki? What's wrong? Follow Saddi! She will send you to where they are housing us!” Chiho could tell something was up. But before Misaki could answer, she watched as the portal suddenly shut down. She instantly knew what Misaki was about to say.
”My father has died…. I will break the news to my Mom. Help her hold a funeral.” Misaki couldn't keep the tears back anymore and began crying. She did not expect to be this overcome with grief. She pulled her knees up to her chest and buried her head into her knees. She was blaming herself for not being there to protect them…

”I never expected space to be so vast. With so many forms of life. We have been traveling for twenty years now, and we still have not reached the mid-way point.” Alicia wished they could move a bit faster, but they were now getting closer to the Death race's domain. So they had to proceed with more caution.
”We will get there. Plus, you just had another child did you not? I am starting to think you and your husband are rabbits. Your castle is filled with your children who are of all ages. You have what fifteen kids now?” Yin Li asked while giggling.
”Li, it is because of that damn husband of mine that I end up pregnant all the time.” Alicia said, doing her best to defend herself.
”You know you can wear protection. It is an ancient technique to wrap it up, you know.” Yin Li's words made Alicia blush. Alicia had no way to argue what Yin Li had just said.
