i can pay any ransom
to kroken for safe release of my daughter....says doonur ,galia's father
mr.doonor .. kraken knows this ,he will rob
you of everything you have....says ulgar........
and then why would
ulgar ,a darling of intergalaxeal games would marry a girl who can not provide
him all the privileges of riches and a lavish and lifestyle?
garth- there is this
one thing , ulgar that i admire about you is, you do not show false modesty...
ulgar- I will only
get galia's money through this marriage alliance but galia will get me!
that night garth and
ulgar leave on a voyage to sibila----our ship is cruising at slow speed through
akor vortex garth I hope that kraken's
bandits would notice us.
"a dromedian
ship is moving unescorted by any security near akor vortex... a robot relays
this message to kraken's strong hold, catch them ,throw the pilots and
crew....... “look garth a kraken ship is moving towards us"says ulgar when
the persuing ship appears on their monitor screen..
good ..now to see if
they will swallow our bet...says garth.
We are coming through the side door,open the sky
lock ,obey instructions otherwise you will be destroyed –says the robot on
monitor screens in ulgar’s ship,garth responds-“got your message ,we obey”
“Four robots… they
must be temporary crew. Pilots who must have come to take our ship to their
hideout-says ulgar
Open the sky lock and
door –instructs the robot waving a weapon at garth and ulgar
It is the thing we
feared garth says “they want to throw us in to the space
Hm. I will destroy
those tin heads-says ulgar
No.. ulgar you will
be destroyed even before you reach them—says garth----catch hold of something tightly I will give a big jolt to the ship to
topple them…..
Garth rocks the ship
violently causing the robots to topple down ----“now! Pounce on them
ulgar!,grab their leader!

GARTH AND ULGAR FIGHT
KRAKEN’S ROBOTS
Robots are
overpowerd…ulgar says…they can see us on their communicator screens.
No! I have
severed the communication but if we
don’t move quickly they will be suspicious –says garth
Three robots are
thrown in to space but garth and ulgar catch their leader
Ulgar—they have a preprogrammed
nervous system!
Garth- yes a thing
which cannot apply logic can not be made to lie, therefore we will have to
force them from divulging our secret to kraken
Garth opens the chest
plate of the robot-“ we will knock out the control unit in his chest and
connect it by a cable to space craft’s motor engines and hopefully it’s awful
noise will do the rest of our jobs”
Robot’s nervous
controls are affected by terrible noise of space craft’s motors and it puts it
into a heightened state of excitement much like a human being’s insaniy
Now we will place
this robot in front of tele screens and remove ourselves from it’s field of
view ,I will temper with sound transmitters so as to mask my voice…garth tells
ulger
With your commonsense
and keen intellect and with my strength and magnificent personality we can do
anything –declare a pompous ulgar
Don’t have any flights of fancy yet ulgar , we
have much to accomplish—says garth
Garth transmits a
false message to bandit’s space shift---“we have captured the ship and thrown
their crew in to space”
You voice is jerky…
why did communication link with us snap ,why did the dromdian ship change
course please explain –asks the robot in command ship .
We had some problem
with pilot crew, it was set right…communicates garth mimicking robot’s voice
Ok.. follow us now,
prepare to land—orders the robot in command ship..
“we have succeeded in
doing this”- garth thinks.
PAGE-12
The captured
dromedian goods carrier spacecraft follows the other ship to land on kraken’s
hideout..it is being instructed by kraken on communicator—electric force field
has beencutoff in epsilon region to allow you to pass through
“come ulgar”..”if we
are lucky we will escape from this place unobserved “ says garth coming out of
spacecraft after it has landed and ulgar follows him.
“ulgar nobody has
seen us coming out of the space craft “says garth, but once there is internal
inspection of the space ship the whole thing will be blown open..says garth to
ulgar
Then we should find
galia quickly but where should we start looking for her? Ulgar asks garth
“I think that must be
kraken’s residential place…says garth looking up at a majestic tall minaret
like building… “ and I think we will
find galia there”
There are robots
guarding the door says ulgar should I thrash them?ulgar asks garth
“no we will enter the
building quietly through air went on this side “answers garth pointing out the
opening of a ventilation duct outside the building.
Garth and ulgar enter
kraken’s house through air vent and see a robot carrying a food laden tray
entering a room and decide to follow him in to the room after it has done it’s
job to see if galia has been kept in
this room.
Ulgar! How did you
find me ?exclims a startled galia when ulgar and garth suddenly force their way
through the opening of air duct in to her room.
“nothing is
impossible for your ulgar “ulgar boasts –meet garth he is my follower and he is
faithful to me”
Meanwhile kraken is
asked whether dromedians could have forced their way in to the building?
Kraken decides to
watch galia’s roon through an instrument which can pick up brain wave activity
of any living being inside the room and when they pick up brain wave activity
of three persons they deide to connect the brain wave activity to a tracer
connected to robot’s neural system to capture the intruders.
PAGE-13
ULGAR AND GARTH ARE
SEEN BY ROBOTS WHEN they accompany galia out of her chamber..garth pushes galia
in to the ventilation duct and when they try to reach the dromedian space craft
,after escaping from kraken’s building they see that it was encircled by
kraken’s robots.”we are trapped”-says garth
“ulgar ,I am
afraid save me from those horrible
things there “says galia”
Huh! Tinheads! I will
smash them to pieces “-says ulgar
Garth warns ulgar
“keep back ulgar!
‘when ulgar wades in
to robot guards alone and starts lifting one of them over his head to throw it
down he is surrounded and captured by other robots while galia asks garth to
save ulgar he tells her that these
robots could have killed ulgar as soon as he even took one step forward ,if
they wanted but they did not so I don’t think they really want to harm him
–garth tells galia.
“galia look !ulgar is
unharmed ,they must have orders to capture him alive -garth tells galia “I want
to plan my further move by remaining out of their clutches
“and I thought that
you were his friend “says a furious galia.
“I am, and I promise you that I will bring him
back to you later ,but for now we should move forwards…says garth.
Kraken is keeping an
eye on escaped pair-“oh those two are baffling the robots.. I wonder who is
that man?.
Kraken’s curiosity is
aroused---“ let me see the brain structure of this man”
“o! very impressive
,he has got courage, talent and firm determination,not like that blundering
fool ulgar,he would give us good contest.”-says kraken
Garth.they have found
us, they will continue to follow us till we fall down of sheer exhaustion,-says
a tired galia
Somehow they are
getting instructions from somewhere where to look for us,but galia continue to
move ,we are not done yet… says garth
