Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang walked out of the alleyway and stood near the wall of the Council Headquarters. He raised his hand and tapped on his communicator a few times. Then his fingers began to move in the air. He was checking into the high-tech security system around the building to find himself a hole in the wall. 

The technological advancement of this place was not good as The Federation. He found it difficult in the first few minutes to get used to the algorithms, after getting used to the algorithms the boy found what he was looking for. To sneak inside the central command of the natives had to be done step by step. He hacked inside the system without triggering the firewalls. The next step was to disable the laser barrier fence over the twenty-meter tall wall. 

The boy tapped on the holo-keyboard in front of him for a few seconds and then jumped up. Terrans could control the contraction of their muscles and explode with super strength for a few crucial moments. The window he had created for himself was just a few blinks and not even a second, any longer than that and he would be exposed. 

The jump made him reach the laser fence in a blink, however, the barrier was not down yet. If he was monitored then people might have arranged for his funeral already, because the barrier was capable of splitting his body into pieces. Just when he reached closed to the barrier, it blinked and Shi Lang's head crossed the line. 

This guy was not her to have fun and every movement was made after careful calculation. Shi Lang tipped the weight of his body in a way that his legs were facing the sky and only his head was to fall in the path of the laser barrier. After the jump was executed, his body weight again began to tip and he landed on his toes. 

Shi Lang did not waste any time observing the scenery and followed the shadows to allocate himself an entrance. The main and primary entrance of the building could not be accessed due to super tight security. So he decided to create a path for himself. The building was white in color and that was why Shi Lang had taken up the white garbs. 

He had decided to climb the building from the walls. The walls were made of a coarse stone, and he was going to use a tool used by the Cat-men as a weapon. He was going to use what the natives called tiger claws. It was a weapon worn around the knuckles, improving the grasp on things, if used to grapple the enemy, every grab will result in the enemy losing a pound of flesh. 

Shi Lang was going to use the nano-bot version of this tool, which was better than the traditional weapons. He crept close to the building and squatted in a dark shadow. Then he used his communicator to program the nanobots he was carrying along. The main purpose of the nanobots was to help him with killing the administrator unnoticed. 

After he was done programming, he took out a vail from his waistband and poured out the content. The nano-bots squirmed and they formed a claw-like small weapon. Shi Lang took out another vail and the same thing happened. The grooves at the back of the weapon allowed him to put it on his fingers. After making sure that his tools were set, the boy used his palm to hold on to the wall. The Claws worked really well, and the boy could exert strength on the wall to drag himself up. 

The boy moved stably on the surface. It took him two minutes to climb up to the second floor. He was about to continue climbing when he sensed something above his head. Shi Lang bent his neck to look up and cursed inwardly, "Fuck." 

He did not know that the cat-men had erected a laser system every two floors. This system was the same as the one they had erected on the wall. He clenched his jaws and moved sideways on the wall using his tiger claws. After five minutes, he came to a window, the only good thing was, that the window was left open. 

Shi Lang took a hold of the sill, after confirming, that the space inside was empty, he took a deep breath and entered the building. In his mind, a strong sense of irritation was brewing, he did not like uncertainties. Especially when his life was at the stake. The outside was dim but still better lit than this room. 

Cat-men did not need to light up the whole place bright like day to monitor it, their eyes might fail the best night-vision in the market. So, if the people were to sneak inside, they will have a hard time moving in the dark. These people used the situation completely in their favor. Shi Lang walked inside the building and after sensing the terrain, he determined that he was inside a room. 

This room was rather big, he could sense a bed a closet, and a few things that completed a bedroom. He walked up to the door depending on his sensing ability, but just as he was about to pry it open and check the situation outside, he heard a voice, "Your Majesty, they are too overbearing. We might be the smallest empire, that does not mean we are any weaker than them." 

An irritated raunchy voice could be heard through the door. However, rather than the context of the conversation, the boy was more focused on how they were approaching the room. Yes, the distance of the voices was getting closer to the room. Shi Lang almost cursed out loud. He looked around and decided to hide. 

...

Outside the room, a lady dressed in white hanfu-like garbs was walking steadily in her high heels. She had a slender figure, her beauty was capable of toppling the countries. She had an almond-shaped face, a long slender nose, petal-like lips, brown eyes with a vertical slit, and bronze hair curling down her shoulder. She had bronze-colored cat ears protruding from her skull. 

Her face did not show any emotions, the aura she gave off belonged to someone in a high position. She furrowed her brows as she heard the complaints spouted by the girl following behind her, the lady said, "Calm down, Samara. All is not lost yet." 

The majesty in her tone did not leave any room for the latter to comment or counter. The two reached the door, and the lady in white said, "I would like to stay alone for some time, Samara." 

The knight behind her nodded and said, "I understand your majesty." 

The lady nodded and pushed the door open and walked inside. Samara was about to stand guard when the lady suddenly stopped and said, "Samara, can you get me something to eat?" 

The knight did not ask more and after nodding she left. The lady entered the room and after she closed the door, she switched on the lights. She said, "I can sense that you do not have any malice in your heart, come out." 

...

Shi Lang was surprised, he walked out from behind the headrest of the big bed.  He was hiding in the groove between the bed and the wall. His movements were calm. When he came to stand in front of the lady, he bowed his head, without taking his gaze off the lady, and said, "I am Ace, I seek audience with the council of Xena."
