The Affinity Phoenix

 

 

Chapter 2- “Mystery Man”

 

 

“Who the hell does this guy think he is?! Does he even know who I am?!”

She thought this to herself, looking up at this tall man. Affinity couldn't help but admire the beautiful specimen of man that was standing before her. He was a very attractive guy. His hair was black just like hers and traveled down just above his shoulders, with half of it in a ponytail, his bangs swept over his face. His sturdy body was distracting her far too much for her to notice he was talking to her.

“I have been following your ship for some time now. When I saw you wanted that planet destroyed, I thought it was the perfect time to prove myself to you.”

“Prove himself??? For what?”

“I wish to become your ally. You wanted the planet destroyed, did you not? I think I did a well enough job of that”

This made Affinity furious. “Did he honestly think someone like me needed an ally? I don't need his help or anyone else's!! I've been on my own and that's how I like it!! Of course it wouldn't hurt to have him as a…servant.”

“Listen, I don't need you or anyone else to help me do what I do best. Who the hell are you anyway? You've got some nerve coming up to me like you're on my level. You're beneath me and I should have killed you by now.”

Her words caused a smirk to appear on his face. “Well, seeing as I'm still here, you must show some interest in me, Ms. Phoenix. My name is Blithe and all I'm asking is that you give me a chance.”

Affinity thought to herself…”with as much power as he has, although not as much as me, I think I can find something for him to do.”

“Come with me.”

The Phoenix turned and flew back to her ship, Blithe following close behind. Once they had arrived on the enormous ship she took him to one of its many rooms. The way the door slid open Blithe couldn't help but think he was in some sort of sci-fi movie. Luckily, he thought, he caught himself before his face lit up with excitement. He had to keep cool, show no emotions…well at least not happiness. Not in front of someone like her.

Affinity pressed a button, and a holographic image of a planet appeared in the center of the room. Blithe was amazed, but didn't show it.

“This is the planet Piraka. I want you to destroy it just like you did that other planet a few minutes ago. If you prove you can do it, maybe I'll spare your life.”

Blithe didn't look too worried. “This planet looks the same size as the other one it shouldn't be a problem. But maybe that's what she wanted him to think. Whatever. I won't concern myself with it until the time comes.” His thoughts were interrupted by her voice.

“We will arrive there in about a day. One of my men will show you to a room and you will not step foot out of it until you are called.” Affinity turns and walks out of the room leaving Blithe and the servant behind.

Once shown to his room, Blithe pulls out a small laptop. He opens it and a man appears on the screen.

“Hey boss? I'm in.”

“Good. See what you can find out about her next big moves. Send us a call when we can move in and attack, agent.”

“Of course, sir”

The screen went black, and he closed his little device. He sat on the bed and closed his eyes waiting for the next big move…..
