Chapter 4

Оглавление

3D images of the external world sheltered the space cabin. They were around the whole spaceship.

In the middle of the cabin were two armchairs. One of them was very big; the other was a usual one, as in a good office.

The lights on the big armchair switched on, and Super Queen-Mother sat in it. The 3D views made an impression that there was no ship at all, as if her armchair were hanging in space.

Super Queen —Mother was watching as below the roof of the house and «dog ground» were slowly moving away from her. Then she saw her town, which was quickly becoming smaller and smaller.

Suddenly, the armchair tightly enveloped her body. Thousands of cold suction cups stuck to it, and the ship sharply picked up the speed.

She could judge about this from the space view: flat, as it was seemed from Earth, it was becoming extensional. All stars were becoming stretched and thinner, turning into light lines. She did not hear the noise of the engine unit, but felt the vibration of the ship’s corpus.

She felt as if she had jumped into a cold swimming pool after the steam room in a bath house.

Soon after the start – or it seemed so to her – the process of the spaceship speed-up reversed, and the deceleration began. The spaceship speed decreased, and, in a far, Super Queen-Mother saw a huge planet, nearing her.

There were no other planets near it. It was a lonely wanderer of the Galaxy. Being unremarkable, it was chosen to take part in decision making on Earth’s fate.

It suddenly struck Super Queen-Mother that she was not afraid of the battle; she was more curious than frightened. She at once pulled herself up:

«Notice and analyze everything. They did not invite you for a cup of tea…»

Super Queen-Mother shook her head and switched attention to what was happening around her.

Suction cups fell off from her and went into the armchair. It recovered itself and switched off its lights; the small armchair became lit.

Super Queen-Mother sat into it.

She saw a lever in front of her, like the one for computer games. She understood it was a manual guidance of the ship to bring it to the landing point at a low speed.

The landing point lightened on the 3D map of the planet surface, and Super Queen-Mother directed the ship to it.

The spaceship was easily controlled and readily obeyed all directions of Super Queen-Mother. At the planet’s surface it stopped.

She got up from the armchair and came into the light circle on the ship’s floor. The light lift instantly brought Super Queen-Mother to the surface of the unknown planet, which had to become the place of the mortal battle.

Super Queen-Mother saw that her spaceship had disappeared. The three escort spaceships had also vanished.

The lighted path was leading to a tunnel cut through the rock. Super Queen-Mother looked back and decisively went ahead.

The wide and tall tunnel was not long – in the distance a light was seen. Its walls were trimmed up with metallic silver tiles, very small, looking like large fish scales.

The appearance of the yellowish-waxen picture got Super Queen-Mother’s attention. She came into the tunnel and took some steps.

The «fish scales» revived, coming down to her and baring the dark walls of the tunnel. Keeping on walking, Super Queen-Mother sent a high voltage discharge at the insects around her. Lightning bolts came off her one after another, everything around was sparkling and crackling.

The insects fell on the floor, heated to bright crimson color, and then burst, like sunflower seeds. With her every step there were more and more killed insects. They crackled under the soles of Super Queen-Mother.

«So, this is your way to say «hello», she thought. «Then, this is my warm greeting to you.»

Her energy blow evaporated the mountain together with the tunnel.

Only the light path left, on which Super Queen-Mother was walking in a measured tread, not slowing down. The remainder of the energy she had produced flew away into space.

Instantly, several dozens of spaceships appeared above her. Super Queen-Mother looked up and smiled:

«Now you’ve done everything right. You have to stand up when a woman comes in. Or weren’t you taught to do this in your childhood? Now I have to teach you to respect a woman.»

Having walked a bit farther, she paid attention to numerous spaceships beneath, to the right and to the left of the light path.

The ship, she had arrived in, was also there. Super Queen-Mother recognized it at once. It was just a relief for her, as if she had met an old acquaintance.

Just in case, Super Queen-Mother remembered its location, and, at the same time, viewed the surrounding landscape.

At a distance, very high mountains were seen. Endless, rough stony fields, set with boulders of different sizes, spread before them. Small, flat stone chippings dominated the landscape.

The atmosphere resembled the one on Earth in its composition. She did not see any seas, lakes or rivers. There were no plants or animals either.

«Maybe, the territory had been cleared off for the battle», she thought.

Super Queen-Mother knew that millions of eyes of all the inhabitants of the whole Galaxy were examining her.

She was walking with her head up, vigorously stepping on the lighted path, down the ridge of a small hill.

Super Queen-Mother switched on all her abilities and skills at full. She was preparing herself for a battle, a mortal battle.

There were only her enemies around her. There would be no mercy from them for her and for her civilization. But, could it happen that they would reverse roles? Everything was possible.

Super Queen-Mother was waiting for an internal impulse, when all her strength, abilities and possibilities would join into one whole.

And this happened. Super Queen-Mother not only felt as a beast, she became a beast.

Her soul and body were compelled to solve only one task. It was a difficult task – to save the life of her civilization.

She did not know what was in store for her, but the state of a nervous strain abated.

A real Super Queen-Mother was walking down the stream – a composed, unpredictable and deadly fighter.

There was only one most important thing in the surrounding world – the life of her civilization. Let the rest of the galaxy defend itself on its own.

At the end of the descent Super Queen-Mother ran into a stripe of dense fog, but the light path was still visible. She was not in it for long. The fog border ended abruptly, and she found herself on the stadium field.
