Commander Meets Commander

Azazel was a commander in the Angelisian army. Known throughout the galaxy as one of the best swordsmen ever seen, his skills with a blade were often spoken of in hushed tones of reverence and fear. For this reason, he had been charged with protecting the first princess of Angelisia, Gabrielle Angelise.

Most regrettably, Azazel had met his match in the precocious young princess. Gabrielle might have acted like a naive girl, and she might even fit the part, but she was also headstrong and intelligentーnot to mention devious. Already, she’d managed to fool him and the other guards under his charge many times in her efforts to escape from the palace.

They usually caught her fairly quickly, but this last time, the girl had been more cunning than usual, convincing her younger sisters to run away, too. With all three sisters running off, they’d been unable to prioritize who to chase after until it was nearly too late.

In the end, they had chased down and captured Princesses Ariel and Michelle, since they were younger and therefore more likely to get hurt without someone protecting them.

Gabrielle had taken full advantage of the opportunity, hijacking a space shuttle and leaving the planet before they could catch her. She’d even taken steps to ensure that they couldn’t follow her for several hours, locking down the shuttle bay doors, and using a complex algorithmic program that changed the password every .25 seconds.

They had managed to open the doors by decoding the pattern used in the program’s algorithm, but by that point, it had already been too late. Gabrielle had made her first warp.

They had chased after her, of course, jumping through warp points and following the trail that she left behind. They tracked her from one side of the galaxy to the other, but then the princess had used that invention of hers to teleport onto Mars, a planet inhabited by humans.

Humans were new to the galactic community. They were an odd race. There were numerous humans in various parts of the galaxy. Despite coming from different systems entirely, all humans were born more or less the same.

That said, this solar system’s technology had yet to reach the level where these humans could travel beyond its rim. They were, in a word, primitive, compared to the other humans.

Necessity had dictated that Azazel contact their leaders, the so-called Galactic Defense Force, and strong-arm them into cooperating with them. It had been easy. Humans were easily cowed when faced by someone stronger than them. A small display of power, the eradication of a nova-class star, and they had bent over backwards to accommodate him.

Of course, there are a few that aren’t so accommodating, he thought wryly.

Azazel stood in front of a desk inside of an office with white walls and gray carpet. One wall contained several plaques, trophies of some kind, Azazel assumed. The plaques were made of gold and had the words Best Sharpshooter on Mars embossed on them, followed by a series of
