HALTRAX
Deep Space, Sector TJ18
Vuron’s Private Spacecraft Allegiance
Haltrax slammed his fist against his command center. Projected maps of the twelve artificial planets that made up Tieqiú scattered into oblivion. It was a fool's errand, trying to locate an international mobster on a rumor. But, as Haltrax looked up to see his lovers intertwined in their artificial shelter, he knew he had to try. What else could he do? Sit around and wait for the monster to destroy his union? To kill the unborn? Never! The thought of Tiger Chu harming what was his sent Haltrax’s corona into a frenzy. The green mass of energy swirled around him, lashing out, as he tried to control his frantic emotions.
"Haltrax’Vuron’Ekai!" Haltrax spun around to find his mate, Xa’baar, floating beside him, his face a mask of concern.
"Aye! Do not sneak up on me like that," Haltrax snorted, "Your accent is still terrible by the way."
"It’s not often I have to call you by your full name." Xa’baar pressed his lips into a thin smile. Reaching forward, he pulled up an image that haunted Haltrax’s dreams so thoroughly he forced himself to stay awake. There, encased in his father’s life force, was there unborn child: Valbüer. Their tiny fingers and toes were not yet fully formed. Valbüer was little more than an embryo. Yet, their corona was already visible to the mind’s eye, a cool, soothing gray in color.
"Here, hold our future, and relax." Xa’baar pulled the image forward, so that Haltrax was cradling Valbüer’s projected form. With his mind’s eye, Haltrax could already make out the unborn at birth: terra-cotta colored skin, ruddy cheeks, and jet-black curly hair. Valbüer the Valiant One would be a perfect fusion of all their features realized in one precious being. If only they are allowed to live! Everything was riding on finding Tiger Chu before he found them. With a renewed sense of purpose, Haltrax allowed the image to dissolve, turning to embrace his fated. Xa’baar returned his embrace, their corona’s intertwining as they stood in silence.
We will fight for our union, and we will win!

VICTORIO
Tieqiú 9, Sector MZ14
Dogstar Meteorite Mines, Inc.
Victorio could taste bile building in the back of his throat. He fought for air as Tiger Chu drove his head underwater again. Any second now he’d pass out. Victorio resisted the overwhelming urge to faint. He couldn’t allow himself to become totally vulnerable in front of his master. If he wanted to live and save the child growing inside of him, he had to stay awake. Chu pulled his head out of the water, chuckling darkly as Victorio coughed up putrid water. He fought to no avail, unable to escape from his master’s vice like grip on his neck, arms pinned behind his back by electrified handcuffs. Chu leaned forward, his mouth pressed against Victorio’s ear, his mustache pricking Victorio’s soaked face.
"What a stupid, stupid, useless little bitch! I poured everything I had into you, Vic. Everything! I even gave you my family name. And what do I get in return for all those years I sunk into you, you stupid bitch? A green cop on my ass and a purple one digging through my finances! Do you even know who the father is?" His tone remained level, but Victorio knew from first-hand experience he was well past the point of anger. When Chu was blinded by rage, there was no limit to the violence he inflicted on his servants. If Victorio made one wrong move, his whole being would remember why they called him Tiger Chu. Ba and Trax wouldn’t be able to identify Victorio’s body when Chu was done with him.
"I’ll teach you what it means to defy Tiger Chu." His villainous tone would’ve been comical if Victorio didn’t know his boss was deadly serious. He was going to do everything in his power to break him. Victorio caught a glimpse of the fear on his swollen face reflected in the murky water below him. He steeled his expression as Chu yanked his head back by his hair. They’ll come for the baby, if not me, Victorio assured himself. He had to believe that to find the will to live. Victorio held back a scream of terror as Chu reared back to hit him again. His last thought was of Ba and Trax cradling the projection of their unborn child. Then, everything went black.
