Sam 10
Introduction:
A new area plus more comes out.
Waiting he knew that more would appear soon. These guys were nothing if not predictable. A moment later he heard what appeared to be frantic calls to the missing troops. Smirking Sam thought, they won’t really be reporting in all that soon. He also knew that they’d be sending more serious number of troops soon. Then they’d know for sure that he was there.
Back in the command room a young radio operator was puzzled that no one from the sector outside the city had answered. Again he gave the ID code waiting for a reply from more than thirty troopers. Strange he thought there wasn’t anything to really block the signal what was going on? Turning to his commander he attracted the male’s attention.
“What seems to be the problem?” The commander asked as soon as he was next to the radio operator.
“Sir, I’ve been calling the troops outside the city for quite a while now. As of yet I still haven’t received an answer.
“Have they missed more than one cycle of arranged check in time?” The other male asked.
“No sir, only the first one. It’s strange sir this particular set has never missed nor failed to return a call.: The younger male replied.
The older commander stood still a moment then nodded, “ok, order a detachment out there to see if they are in need of help.”
The younger male nodded in answer as he called up the emergency response team’s commander. A few minutes later he received confirmation that they were on their way.
Sam had already collected the few life forms that he’d seen being driven to what he saw as exhaustion. They reminded him a bit like what the queen looked like only darker in color. They also appeared to be much thinner. The group of about forty bowed low to Sam then stood there.
Finally one came forward bowing again to Sam, “Sir, we await your orders. We know we are being tested, we will not fail you sir.”
Sam looked at the rest of the beings there as they all bowed staying down their heads on the ground. Shaking his head Sam was about to get angry when he realized that these beings had been subjugated a long time. If what the Queen had said was true then it would take a lot to break the IP hold on their minds and bodies.
Well Sam thought, nothing like the truth to set someone free. “Do you perhaps know who or what I am?” When the one before him shook its head no as well as the rest Sam slightly nodded. “Do you have knowledge of a race once called the Cliveastone?”
Sam sighed as the being before him shrunk back as a terribly fearful look came to its eyes. “Yes sir, we were told that they were a completely brutal and domineering race. It was said that they would decimate entire planets that didn’t bend to their will. We were told…”
Sam held up a hand to quiet the being. “Tell me if a Cliveastone were here right now would you or the IP troops be alive? I mean according to what you were told?”
The being look up at Sam blinking a moment then it answered, “No sir, I believe that all would be dead and it would already be destroying the city.”
Sam again nodded as he stepped forward whispering in the being’s ear, “I am a Cliveastone, and you have been lied to, though I expect you to not believe me.”
The being’s eyes were wide a moment then it nodded. “I can believe you, I have heard stories of how they were a kind people.”
Sam was a little shocked that it said this though held his tongue ’til he had further proof. Better to make sure than be a damn fool about the situation.
“I had thought liberating you would help, though these few weapons won’t do much for you.” Sam stated making the being’s head snap up to look at the small pile of weapons.
“Sir, even if we had far more not many even have the knowledge to use them. Then there is the councilor that has control for this area. I don’t think it would sit still while you cleared one of its planets. It has been rumored that it is the strongest of all of them.” Shaking its head the being went on. “Even with the power you have we fear that you might fall also.”
“I am far stronger than you think. If they defeated me I don’t think that they would survive.” Sam replied to the now standing being.
“That may be so sir, though against your race was the only time they combined their power to defeat you. I can tell you have great power, though I am afraid it might not be enough. We thank you for what you did, we all have family units to think of before we can even think of doing anything like you suggest.” The being sadly stated.
“I understand though I don’t think I can allow any of these troopers to return. Be well,” Sam said as he lifted, all the troops he’d tied up in tow. Now he thought what to do with them? Flying further into the jungle like area Sam smiled as an idea started to form in his mind, hmmm, he thought it just might work.
It was a few time units later when there was a commotion near the entrance of the city. “Can you tell who they are?” The commander of the city entrance asked of his troopers.
“No sir,” the one nearest him stated. “They appeared demanding things then started to open fire on us. We awaited you sir ’til we destroyed them.”
The commander nodded as he peered harder at the approaching group of beings. “Order them to stop once more then if nothing? Cut them down!”
A male nodded as he did as the commander said then nothing else. “Open fire!” He shouted as every one of the beings down the street were riddled with holes, many screaming as they went down. Then a second group came around the corner opening fire on the city troops. Opening fire a second time, a few of the city troops went down with the surprise attack. The commander and several of the troopers advanced slowly, suddenly shocked that all the bodies were many of their own group.
The second in command started to look around shaking a bit. “Sir? Have you ever seen anything like this? You don’t think there are more do you?”
“Never seen this before though I remember something like this mentioned in our history. I need to inform command of…” The Commander started then his eyes got large as several of his own troop started to fire upon the others. The sounds of the dying could be heard well down the street.
Sam smiled as he watched even more of the troopers start to fire upon their fellows. Shaking his head he could feel the dying start to slip from his control. It was harder than he thought the first twenty had been incredibly hard. The second were difficult though he found it had grown easier.
Concentrating harder he was shifting to different beings as one went down when he felt a strong presence. An almost blank faced female stepped out from behind the troops pointing in his direction. So Sam thought, they have a powerful one here.
Her emotionless face still blank she started to clear the troopers. Her eyes went wide when she felt others troopers slip as fast as she cleared the effected ones. Reaching out she searched for the source of what she was feeling. Her eyes went even wider when she hit an impregnable wall. Pushing as hard as she could, she was again surprised to not only be stopped, she was then pushed back! What was she up against? She was a level five! No one was stronger than her except for the Cliveastone creature they held captured all these centuries ago.
She was about to push again when an extremely loud voice in her head made her cringe. [I know not who or what you are, though I promise you will suffer greatly if you persist in this. Withdraw before I make you!]
The female looked around searching for the source of the voice. It felt close was all she felt. Advancing she had to erect a shield as those affected started to fire upon her. [Who are you?] She asked careful not to probe too far.
The loud voice returned almost making her head swim, [I am one you don’t want to take on. I suggest you leave before you are a mindless thing.]
For the first time in the last two revolving planet time units, she felt emotion, anger. Strange she thought all emotions had been removed to facilitate her great control. What was going on? Almost immediately several of the troopers around her started to get extremely angered. Then she felt another emotion, shock as the troopers turned their weapons upon their comrades.
Nodding his head Sam watched a few more minutes, and then seemed to vanish. The female was struggling to get her power under control as more and more troopers arrived laying waste to their own. Lifting slightly the female moved away from the troopers noticing that those further away weren’t affected as bad.
Sam appeared on the opposite side of the city a few moments later. Smiling he reached out repeating the same thing he’d accomplished on the other side. Then he was surprised that he could now control five more, good the more the merrier.

Mellos Thymp’s eyes were large when she saw the results of the test. What in the hell was going on? Well over half of her genetic deficiencies were gone! Thinking back the only thing different was the fact that she had, had her ass handed to her twice by that Sam being! Smiling she remembered having the male grasped between her legs. She should have been able to destroy him, crushing him with her legs.
Looking over at the earlier tests they had done on the Sam being, a perplexed look crossed her face. He was ten percent purer than she was genetically. According to what she was seeing he was an original from Owt Los. Shaking her head how in the hell was that possible, She thought. The only original left was the one that the IP had in isolation. She herself was a genetic deformity of the second generation. At least, she thought so, with these new readings on herself she wasn’t that sure.
“Slave!” Mellos shouted a moment later.
Almost immediately the tall blonde male that was helping her appeared. “Yes mistress? You called?”
“I want you to go through all these tests again. According to what I am seeing this Sam being is a full Cliveastone. Also from those readings I got of the full Cliveastone that the IP have are almost similar. Do a closer comparison of the both along with mine. Somethings going on here that I’m not seeing. THAT is pissing me off to no end. I want to know why most of my genetic anomalies have suddenly repaired their selves.” Mellos told the now startled male.
Bowing low the male responded, “Yes mistress I’ll get right on it.” The male, not moving fast enough, was cuffed by Mellos to the floor. “Thank you mistress,” the male said as he dragged his self off the floor.
Mellos smiled at the extreme loyalty the male showed. She was going to have to reward him again, hmmm, she thought, what pain to deliver this time?
The male scrambled away to start the comparisons if he did a good job perhaps she’d punish reward him again. Shivering in delight he remembered the last time she had.
Mellos looked at the results as the male fed the comparisons to her. Ok she could see that they were all almost pure Cliveastones from the planet Owt Los. They all appeared to be of a pure form though her genome was still off quite a bit. Looking she saw that almost half of the deformities had somehow straightened out, actually healing. What the hell?
Mellos scanned again as her mouth started to drop open, she was almost completely immune to the gas? When the hell had that happened? Thinking hard she felt herself slowly rise off the floor, she could fly a bit? Ok now she was convinced she had to fight him again. Damn! If they had fought longer she might be completely healed now.
A steady beeping alerted her to another interesting fact. Reaching up she felt where he’d smashed her in the face as she came at him. Holy shit! It was almost healed! Alright, she HAD to fight that prick again. That goody, goody had a natural healing ability about him. He was nice looking she thought. Stopping she shook her head, where in the hell had that come from?
Staring harder at the readouts that were coming she growled as she saw that it was doing more than healing her genome. Damn it! It was also adjusting her thought processes! Great she was going to become a sniveling idiot like him, although she thought. It might do to help… Slapping her face she again growled this was starting to disgust her!
The tall blonde man could only stare as he watched his mistress slap and punch herself. With a sigh he so wished it was him that was on the end of those slaps and punches.

Drivas’s eyes were wide as she felt Thantas nudge her higher and higher far past level five. She could feel abilities she never thought to have start to open up to her. [I would take you both higher, faster though as you both have felt it takes longer for the body to adjust. It is unfortunate that the process the IP uses weakens the body so.]
[You mean to tell me I am past the other level five?] Looking at Thellus she reached out feeling that her friend was even with the high end of level five.
[Yes, most definitely, though I am afraid that you are still no match for me. You could resist far longer than any other but Sam. He, is at another level even beyond me. Now then I have further to go with you then you’ll need to sleep. Thellus you will need to watch the ship while she rests.] Thantas told the both of them.
[I can feel new abilities starting to open Thantas. Are these what you were thinking of when you said I would be able to resist you more?] Drivas asked even as she felt pain start to invade her thoughts.
With a sigh Thantas tried to explain, [They will want me to completely destroy you. Even with half their control gone I will still have no choice but to obey. Soon I hope for the both of you to be able to fool me and the machines that you both are dead. When you both can achieve this you will be strong enough. Not to equal me, to just survive me.]
[I still wish we could help you to escape. I find it disappointing that Thellus and I can’t be of help.] Drivas said.
[I wish it also, if I was free I could help Sam accelerate his plan much, much faster. The fact that he has done what he has without full knowledge of his full power is extraordinary. If he had complete control, nothing could stop him. I don’t think even all seven of the collective would stand a chance. As he is right now I’d say he could take any of them alone. Perhaps any three together though not all of them. I made that mistake centuries ago.] Thantas explained.
Drivas was about to ask what she meant when the pain started to increase then she started to scream.
The first council was enjoying listening to the screams of the female that he was torturing. Ah! Her screams were making him feel far better after being denied for so long. Reaching out he cut he spinal cord letting her scream in pain a few moments before he reattached it. Reaching out he started to break a bone, then two, then several as she was screaming non-stop now. Ah! It was so delicious the terror, the fear, the pain.
He’d just healed all her bones when he felt a disturbance on the furthest world of his sector. The amount of power he felt was indeed disturbing. Without looking he snapped the female’s neck, reaching out he could feel something wasn’t right on the world. Sucking in a breath he realized it was one of the former corner stone worlds of the Triad in that area!
Looking back at the female he tried to heal her realizing he’s waited a few seconds too long. Damn that was his favorite torture victim. Infuriated he reached out demanding a report from the planet Commander.
“Yes councilor?” The male said as soon as he came on. “How can I help you?”
“What are you doing? This needs to be taken care of right now!” The councilor shouted angrily.
“We’re doing all we can to fight…” The male started.
“No! You’re not!” The first councilor said as he snapped his fingers, the commander falling dead. Changing channels the councilor saw another commander. “You’re now in charge. That damn Cliveastone is on the planet. The last Commander failed me, he no longer will. Let’s hope you don’t also, get that piece of garbage now. I expect results or like your predecessor you also will be replaced! Am I clear?”
The new planet Commander gulped as he snapped to attention, “Yes sir! I am on it now.”
The councilor had to hide a wide smile, this one he liked. He was ambitious to the point he’d kill any that got in his way. Hmmm he needed to re-evaluate those in charge. More like this one they wouldn’t be having the problems that they were.
“I want this garbage dead as soon as possible. You can use any means at your disposal to destroy this thing. The quicker the better. Do this and you can expect the position that you’ve been wanting to be open to you.” The first councilor said as he felt almost pure evil intentions oozing out of the male.
“Yes councilor!” The male said a truly evil look coming to his face. Clicking off he immediately ordered the execution of a thousand of the natives. Let’s see him hide amongst them now he thought. Maybe I should make it a thousand from every city to get the point across he thought.
Sam was walking through the city when he was forced at gunpoint with all in the street with him up against the wall of the nearest building. A male came out reading a demand from the new commander of the planet. They were to give up the Cliveastone that was causing trouble. If they didn’t all of those on the wall would be destroyed.
Sam did his best to hide his anger as no one had anything to say. Nodding his head the commander shouted for all there to prepare. A moment later many of the men with weapons turned firing on their comrades including the leader of the troops there. A great shouting started as not a single shot made it to those on the wall.
A moment later Sam heard screams across the planet. Going airborne Sam started to move as fast as he could to every city. He’d actually managed to stop almost all the executions save for one. Even as he arrived he still tried to catch each blasts many getting through.
There was a laughing coming from one of the coms of the dead troopers. “So you aren’t as great as they said you are. Their deaths are on your head I…”
Roaring Sam shouted at the com, “Enjoy the small victory. I will kill you. You can’t hide from me, know that right now. Nothing you can do will stop me. Know that I hereby declare war on the IP. For each you kill I will take a hundred of the IP. Enjoy when I find you, you will die as slowly as I can kill you, as you deserve.” Sam said as his voice shattered the com.
