Sonic X Shadow Ship 13 Romane & Geschichten

"You’ll kill the child! If that ship sinks, the pressure—" "The Council’s ship isn't made of wood, Mother," I countered, throwing the document from the High Council onto the table. "Look at the displacement markers. It’s a cloaked submersible. It’s a fortress disguised as a relic. If we drag it into the Auditor’s gravity well, it won't crush—it will lock." Xander reached out, his fingers finding the controls. He was dying, his body a map of neural failure, but his mind was still the greatest weapon Aurelia had ever produced. "I can... I can sync the Auditor’s pull... to their hull. I can... tether us."

she said. His shadow curled around her wrist barely, softly, then released. Sorrel stared at the vast darkness outside. “It’s cold…” “Don’t worry,” Seraphine said, her voice high. “It’s a friendly ship probably.” “NOT helping,” Rian hissed. The ship dove deeper. The world darkened. Luminous fish darted past in streaks of light—blue, silver, and green. One enormous, slow-moving shadow floated above them, briefly blocking the dim glow of the surface far above, before fading into the deeper black.

Jenny snapped, dragging James away. Caspian watched them disappear, jaw clenched, fingers running through his hair. "She’s clearly lost her damn mind," he muttered. --- ~~ THE VELENO CLAN — 9:00 AM ~~ Shadow sat in his armchair, thick smoke curling from his tobacco stick. The look on his face could kill. "Boss…" Sky stuttered as he entered, bowing. "They’re shipping tonight. We’ll head out—" "Alessandro has my goods, and you're here telling me fairy tales?" Shadow growled, pointing a gun at him.

"Understood!" Xero sped up, turning left toward a dock in Link City. The two vehicles carrying the remaining protectors of Shadow Moon Pavilion followed them to the dock. Upon arriving, they saw the vehicles used by Sebastian and the others, but when they opened the doors, they found the cars empty. "They must be hiding nearby. Split up and search! If we find them, kill on sight!" The three protectors made a quick plan and dashed toward the nearby container area to search for Sebastian and the others.

"J, don't start. Please. This is for your own good," I cringe at the nickname, grateful he didn't use it in front of the others. If they know he addresses me by my first name, or a nickname, they'd think it was okay for them to do it. And they'd all question why I'm so friendly with the captain. Narrowing my eyes at him, I ask, "And how do you figure that?" "Just trust me," "No," He sighs, closing his laptop to meet my eyes. "Dr. Achard suggested that you not work alone anymore,"

From behind a metal crate, one of his boys hoisted it, and two controlled it from their ends. They formed a triangular-like shape to execute it: the new baby. X-16 Pulse Retreater. Straight from Eastern Europe. Prototype level. High rate, low trace. Every Shadow knew exactly when to move away. They had been well trained. The Vipers froze for just a second too long. The Shadows lit them up. The pulse shots were clean—no excess fire, just sheer impact force. Men flew backward like rag dolls. Crates cracked open under the blast. A few Vipers tossed down their guns and ran.

Shadow joined them, keeping her eye on the suspected ports. It was midnight but still, there were no signs of any ship or any suspicious activity. “Why isn’t there any ship?” Shadow frowned, looking at her smartwatch. Taking out her walkie-talkie, she contacted others. To her disappointment, their response was negative. She bit her lower lip, trying to remember the map which she went through before leaving. Her eyes widened a bit when she remembered that an unused small port was located relatively farther than other ports. She immediately contacted her men only to come to know that no one was watching over there.

"Says the shoot now ask later girl." "Shadow Men are different. I'd never hurt one of us that way. Not with so few of us left." "We're all the same underneath, they're just not in control anymore." "If Shadow Men were the same as us, their souls would stay with them," I said, staring out the window again, "and Lillith wouldn't have to listen to them begging for help every time she took her ring off." "So you're saying that if Lillith or your brother were taken, finding them would be a waste of time."

“He should’ve stayed in his lane.” I push the chair back and rise, walking to the bar to pour myself a drink. My fingers tighten around the glass as I stare out the window at the city below. A kingdom I built—one stone at a time. They think they can tear it down. Viktor with his schemes. Dante with his arrogance. But I’m done playing defense. “We disable Dante’s docks first,” I say. “Then we move on to his distribution centers. Hit his warehouse in Newark. Then the trucks in Pennsylvania. Make it look like internal sabotage.”

Time felt like it stood still as I quickly and cautiously hid behind the vehicle. “I’ll deliver it to him tomorrow, then.” Marc finished. “Good, I’ll send you the address.” Sinister stated, “If that's all, then. You can leave for the day.'” *Yes, that's all." Marc smiled and watched as Sinister left. In a swift second, Marc opened the back door for me, “Get in, and lie low kid.” Doing as he said, he hopped into the driver's seat and proceeded to exit Sinister’s Hell-House.
