But any victory I had in the future would be a very hollow one as I would have failed Emily, allowing her to fall into the Goblars’ hands and their depravity.

No, I needed to save her.

I needed to get her out of there, no matter the cost.

Still, I had to keep the option of staying alive open, if only to spend the rest of my life destroying every last Goblar in the galaxy.

And I would.

But that was only a Plan B.

I needed to rescue her.

Somehow.

Somehow I needed to do it…

Then it occurred to me.

In my pocket.

I had the adrenaline syringes I had found earlier when dressing Emily’s wounds.

I had put them in my pocket for a time when I might need it.

And what better time was there than right now?

The only problem was, how was I going to reach them?

Never mind injecting them into my body!

I struggled but still could not move my arms.

“I hear there’s going to be a ceremony in a few minutes,” Cayah said. “A ceremony involving your fated female, no less. I hear she’s going to be Seeded by hundreds — perhaps even thousands — of these Goblar creatures. And apparently, for killing dozens of innocent Goblars during your earlier escape, rather than kill you, they’re going to punish you by allowing you to live.

“They’re going to make you watch the ceremony. Then they’re going to set you free so you can live the rest of your life living with that failure. These Goblar creatures…” He shook his head. “They do not show much mercy.”

I struggled harder, my fingers able to reach my knees but no higher.

Zero chance of reaching my pocket.

“Are you looking for something?” Cayah said. “It wouldn’t be this, by any chance?”

He reached toward a side table just out of my line of sight and held out his palm, showing me the three syringes with the adrenaline inside.

My eyes boggled.

They were no longer in my pocket after all.

The Goblars must have removed them!

With those injected into my body, I would be forced into a berserker rage.

I would break free of these restraints and lay waste to these creatures.

But out here, outside my body, the syringes were next to useless.

“I thought so,” Cayah said before nodding to one of the female creatures tapping at her tablet.
