" Hello, Steve." He snarled." We meet again."
"Unfortunately." I muttered.
He didn't hear me,or chose to ignore." I have to say,it was very easy finding you. The Master will be pleased."
I stopped glaring at him. I'd heard the same words before.
"Who's your master?" He snickered in reply.
I raised my voice." Who is he?"
"Oh,you'll meet him." Tivan replied in an airy voice.
"He'll be the one deciding your fate." The Commander glared." However,them," he motioned to Glen and Max."they are of no use. Perhaps they can amuse my guards."
Glen gritted his teeth." You've got what you sought,traitor. Let us go."
"Fiesty." Maz smiled." They will be pleased to have you."
"Over.My.Dead.Body."
"That can be arranged." In one fluid motion, Maz unholstered his sidearm and fired.CRACK! Glen's body fell on the floor, lifeless.
"No!" I cried.
Ignoring my own pain, I rushed to where he lay. Glen lay limp and lifeless, his face contorted with pain. The shot had clearly been at his heart,as a slow yet steady trickle of hot blood flowed from the wound.
"No! Man you can't leave us!" Max knelt across me,his eyes full of tears. I reached over to feel the pulse. It was very faint,and I could feel his strained breathing.
"We need to take him to a doctor immediately."I snapped at Maz." He must reach the medical bay if he is to stand a chance."
Maz tsked." How can you take him to your ship when there isn't one?"
"What??" Max blurted out.
A guard held up a screen. I saw my ship under attack by the Klingons. All of our weapons-phasers,proton cannons,photon torpedoes-were firing at their full capacity,yet they are no match.
"You've got to stop this madness!" I cried out." It's me you want. LEAVE MY CREW ALONE!"
My ship took fire after fire. I could almost see my men try to tackle the situation, running from one part of the ship to another,repairing, returning fire, attending the wounded.
Finally,it ended. The misery of my men came to an ends one solar beam erupted from the warship. The ship detonated in a massive explosion,as metal, bone,mad flesh were flung across and the debris floated in space.

"Don't worry, Steve." Maz said to me mockingly." This is the fate if the whole Nova Corps. You three are the only Novas left. We took care of the rest."

Emitting a low growl,I launched myself at the Klingons. The guards held me back. I constantly struggled against their grasp. In my eyes, I saw nothing but red.
" You monster!" I screamed." You animal! My men were innocent!"
The Commander smirked." You left them to their deaths."
I struggled,my eyes red with fury." Once I get you...."
"IF you get us." He corrected." I can't possibly imagine what the Master sees in you. You're nothing but an insolent brat." He walked up to the Stone.
"This will win us the war,and end the cowardly rule of the Novas once and for all."
Tivan interrupted." But we had an agreement! The Infinity Stone would be a nice addition..."
In an instant all guns were upon him. Maz sneered." Do you want to end up like your father, Tivan?"
Tivan gulped and stepped back. "Please,no violence, gentlemen."
"Then.Step.Back."
Shamsheer stepped behind his desk,plastering a forced smile on his face." If you insist."
His eyes glinted with mischief as he slowly reached out under his desk. My eyes narrowed, and I silently indicated Max to keep crouching.
There was a soft click! as he pressed a hidden button. I crouched down.
In an instant, laser beams shot from the walls. They went over my head, above Max's, straight towards the unsuspecting Klingons. They were shocked,and fired their blasters in panic,but before long,all of them lay dead.
I slowly raised my head. Tivan stood with a grim expression, crossing his arms." If there's something I hate, that's blood on my floor. These fools would rather let your friend die than clean up the mess." I stared at him incredulously.
He shrugged." I hate violence. I'd rather drive a person insane than kill him."
"Now you're driving ME insane."I snapped.
He gave a good-natured shrug." What can I say? I'm awesome. And I'm going to prove that by letting you go."
"What?"
"Take one of the transportation pods outside. You can reach the nearest planetary systems. I can't offer you a ship."
"You're letting us go? Just like that?"
"Nope. "He clasped the orb shut." I'm keeping this."
"Tivan, please. You know what it is."
He shook his head. Calling one of his guards,he helped us put Glen in a pod. "This will help you for sometime." He said.
"Sir,we need to go." Max insisted.
Although I still felt uneasy,I decided not to push my luck. I climbed into the pod and revved up the engines.
Taking care not to fly rashly, I steered it out of Knowhere.
"Where are we going,sir?" Max asked me as he dressed up Glen's wound.
"I don't know." I replied." Probably we'll...."
BAM! A huge explosion shook the ship. We lurched on to one side,as I struggled to keep the thing steady.
"What is it?" I shouted,not looking from the controls.
"Sir,it's them!" Max's scream was late with fear." The bloody warship's upon us!"
I looked up. Sure enough, the huge metal beast which had just killed my men had now focused on me.
"Shoot!" I cursed trying to maintain the controls.
I diverted full power into the thrusters. We must get out of their firing range or else...
BOOM! The ship shook dangerously again as we dipped downwards.
"Rear thruster's out!" I shouted. "Max, use the turret."
"Turret? There are no guns on this bloody thing!"
"Great." I muttered as I focused on diverting power to the thrusters.
This game of cat and mouse chase went on for a while. They shot at us,and I dodged and tried to flee.
Finally,no more. One missile detonated against the ship, knocking out our side thrusters. We dipped downwards.
"Shi!Shit!Shit!" I cursed. We could no longer flee. One more shot and we're done for.
"Sir,we can head for the planet!" Max pointed to my right. I looked to see a blue planet staring at me. If we could make it.....
I steered the pod towards it,at full speed.
Only a few miles more. We've entered it's atmosphere. Just a few more seconds...
But alas! One torpedo detonated against the ship. The thrusters got knocked out,we spun in circles as we sped towards the surface. I wasn't in control any more. I tried my best to slow down,but to no avail. We would crash.
Only a few more seconds. My attempts were futile. We would die, and the universe would plunge into darkness.
I can see the trees on the surface. The ponds,the lake..so beautiful. It's a pity that we are going to die in such a paradise.
A few seconds more. Then we crashed into the surface.
Everything in my vision plunged into darkness.
This is death.

Third person narrative

Tivan looked upwards as the pod left the surface of Knowhere. As it became a tiny point in the distance,he walked back to his room. Holding the orb carefully, he walked up to his desk and pulled up a screen. The typings of a keyboard was heard.
The screen illuminated with a blue light. A hooded figure came into view.

"The Master wishes to know of your progress." It spoke in a raspy voice.
Tivan smiled and held up the orb.
" Tell him that I've got the Infinity Stone. The loose ends have been eliminated." His eyes narrowed.
"This is the beginning of the end."

He guys! I bring to you a fresh,new chapter of "Galaxias". I apologise if it got too long.
So we see that even Tivan was working for the Master. I wonder ,who can he be?
Is anyone else working for him? Does anyone know?
Oh, wait. It's my story, and I'm the one who should be knowing.
Silly me.😁
