Dominique exerted his strength, blowing away Lukas even as Natalie also went flying together with him.

The alien clearly could not be bothered whether or not his other 'host' got injured, something that did not sit right with all of them there.

With one hand on Alec, and the other hand reacquiring the metal container that held Te.ake's body, Dominique put some strength into his legs as he dashed away, launching himself up to the alien's spaceship according to the commands that were ringing loudly in his brain.

The spaceship was still half buried, but that did not matter. As long as Te.ake could reclaim his spaceship, Te.ake would have the upper hand no matter what trump cards they still had up their sleeves.

It also had the happy coincidence of separating his host from those who could possibly awaken the host's consciousness completely.

Unfortunately, Te.ake was still too weak. Otherwise, he would be able to take care of these people without needing to exert himself at all.

Te.ake already wasn't that strong physically, so even if its body had been completely recovered, it still wouldn't be able to handle this many people, but had its mental strength fully recovered, they wouldn't be a problem at all.

Te.ake was frustrated.

Honestly, having to feel this helpless put Te.ake in a bad mood.

Had he just had enough strength…

Would these insects be able to even touch the tip of his tentacles?

It enraged him that he had to act like a space rat, running and hiding in order to preserve his life. Space rats were the lowest of the low, but they had tenacity. Te.ake likened them to this planet's 'cockroaches'.


The ringing in Dominique's mind grew louder as Te.ake moved all of its consciousness into his host's brain.

There wasn't a need for the researcher's weak and feeble body. Not when his other host was as glorious as this.

Te.ake felt its lips curl into a smile. As long as it had Dominique, Te.ake was untouchable.

As Dominique landed on the silver spaceship, they didn't even need to wait for a door to open as Dominique's body sank into the extra-terrestrial vehicle.

The spaceship was attuned to Te.ake's presence, allowing for its master to return without another hitch.

Te.ake silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It had not expected these barbarians to go to the extent of trying to harm its body, even though it should have. It supposed that even cornered rats bit back. Just look at those scientists and researchers, not to mention the rest of this planet.

Dominique unlatched the box, placing Te.ake's body on the ground.

Te.ake looked at its original body through Dominique's eyes, giving itself a strange sense of double vision that made it feel like it had its eyes crossed.

The alien moved its consciousness around, relegating Dominique to the background. Instead, Te.ake connected its consciousness into its darling spaceship.

This spaceship wasn't top of the line, nor was it the best in defence or offence, but it was something that Te.ake had scrounged and saved up for a long time.

It was its baby.

Te.ake's synchronisation with the spaceship was something that neared the hundredth percentile, something that most people didn't bother attaining. Well, their loss. Te.ake had already experienced the various benefits that came along with having a high synchro rate with its spaceship.

Te.ake was happy. The time to start up its plans had come.

It would need merely thirty earth days before it would be able to sell off this planet's rights to the galaxy out there.

Te.ake's heart thundered within its chest, and its energy pulsed at the thought. It could hardly wait before it was time to start.

Syncing up with its spaceship, its energy systems came online, blooming before Te.ake's mind.

It had missed this.

It had not been that many days in that container, but the indignity that it had to bear while being trapped there was something that did not do its psyche any good.

Te.ake did not feel good having its consciousness so weak that it could barely attract those weak-minded earthlings to do its bidding.

Te.ake turned its eyes back onto the small child that had been acquired to expedite its safety into the spaceship.

Its host was still cradling the child gently in his arms – no doubt a subconscious act based on the host's original memories, but not one that was created due to Te.ake's orders.

There was no longer any need for this child.

Alec was glancing around inside the spaceship, curious, but also not as concerned as he should be.

Dominique was still clutching Alec to himself, his touch light and made sure not to grip. Alec didn't even feel any discomfort.

Though, his subordinate's eyes were still strangely blank.

Now that they'd managed to make their way into the spaceship, Alec could tell that this was the last line of defence that Te.ake currently had.

What worried him was the defences on this ship.

However, now that he was inside it, Alec realized that the ship was familiar. It was a standard model that was used by many other timelines and places.

It was something that Alec had extensively studied between his System duties. Alec was quickly formulating a plan within his mind about how to deal with the alien.

Before this, his plans had to be adjusted on the fly, but now that the alien had taken him 'hostage', it was a lot easier.

Alec stared into Dominique's blue-ringed irises, thinking that its appearance gave Dominique a strange sort of appearance.

Together with his purple irises, it made him look mysterious and otherworldly. Because of the sigil that was in one of his eyes – something that Alec wanted to remove from him very badly – Dominique's appearance gave him a strange charm that drew eyes.

If it wasn't enough with his already normally cool face and handsome looks, with the addition of his strangely charming irises, he would draw no small number of eyes whenever he walked along.

Dominique placed Alec down on the ground, his face still strangely blank.

Alec couldn't get used to it. Not when his subordinate had been showing a larger range of emotions recently. He'd even gotten used to the strangely fanatical eyes that he'd been using to gaze at Alec with.

Not to be on the receiving end of the gaze made him feel strange.

The blue ring in Dominique's eyes flickered slightly, and he blinked.

Te.ake's voice was heard from the entire spaceship, having connected his consciousness to the spaceship's systems.

"Kill him," Te.ake's voice rang, both out loud and inside Dominique's mind.

Blue glow in Dominique's eyes strengthened as he looked at his boss.

Dominique and Alec locked eyes, their thoughts unreadable.

"What are you doing?" Te.ake's voice echoed within the space. "I said kill him!"

Dominique jerkily moved forward, as if he was struggling under the weight of Te.ake's command.

Te.ake sighed in abject frustration.

It appeared that this host's connection towards this child was rather high. Perhaps, it was even his own child.

Te.ake frowned lightly but didn't push it.

Though it may look down on this planet, it was not needlessly cruel. It would not be so cruel as to make a parent kill their own child.

Te.ake was sympathetic.

The fact that Dominique had already harmed the child – however lightly it might have been – in the earlier confrontation with the other humans already spoke of the control that it had over him.

Te.ake moved Dominique's body away from the child, placing its host's hand on the spaceship to record its signature.

Its body was still too weak at this moment, to be able to handle such vigorous handling, so it had no choice but to use the host's body to do so.

Pressing deeper into the host's mind, Te.ake shoved, pressing down the host's consciousness, something that was akin to blackout.

The host would not remember anything later when he woke up. In that time, Te.ake would take care of the child.
