<h4>Chapter 1341 Gustav The Scapegoat</h4>
Author''s Note: Unedited Chapter
-------------------------
That would be another waste of time but it wouldn''t be bad to have one of them in the meeting. Since they were so close he should be able to understand how Gustav Crimson mind works and mayve predict where he might be heading," The MBO officer with a mohawk rubbed his moustache as he spoke.
"Bring in Officer E.E,"
Minutester, a dark skinned male officer with ck bushy afro and moustache walked in. He was around 6''2" in height and had strikingly handsome yet mature looking facial features.
His presence instantly attracted the attention of every single officer within the boardroom.
''So this is the famed Officer E.E,''
''He is just a kid yet he survived the copse cmity,''
''I can''t sense his level... could he have achieved a higher bloodline rank than me?''
Thoughts flooded the minds of many of the officers present as they stared at E.E who happened to have two stars attached to the side of his MBO uniform.
"Wee Officer E.E," The officer with a mohawk said with a strong tone.
"Thank you General Dikstrat," E.E nodded with look of respect.
"Let''s get straight to the point. We''ve been stagnant in finding Gustav Crimson for thest six months. Hisst sightings were somewhere on the outskirts of Invria Nupe Gxy... every search had been futile since then. No traces of him," General Dikstrat exined.
"Let me guess, you need my help finding where the fugitive may be located," E.E chimed in.
"Yes," General Dikstrat stated.
"General, I already cut ties with the fugitive long ago and informed the MBO of everything I knew about him that would help in finding him. The first time he was sessfully captured was due to the information I provided. If they hadn''t lost him, he would be within our grasp by now," E.E shook his head in disappointment as he got to thest part.
"We understand and appreciate your contribution officer E.E. We are not disputing the fact that you have been a great help so far but we need you to brainstorm now and predict his movement.
Could there be any ce he might have mentioned that you maybe forgot or missed out thest time? Any information that could help?" Gendfal Dikstrat voiced with a pleading tone.
"General I understand how urgent it is for us to capture the fugitive before anyone else does. Especially for the safety of the earth and the rest of the world. I''ll see what I can do but you will have to give me some time," E.E stated with a tome of understanding.
"Wonderful... I shall be expecting a feedback from you," General Dikstrat voiced while standing to his feet to extend a handshake to E.E
E.E received his handshake and gave an MBO salute before excusing himself.
"What a great kid. He didn''t let sentimentality cloud his judgement. He has a great future in the MBO," One of the officers voiced out after E.E left.
-"That is why he is already a decorated captain at such age. He is quite capable,"
...
...
...
E.E walked past a bunch of people in MBO uniforms. It would seem he was in an MBO Base since MBO officers could be seen moving to and fro across the vicinity.
Truck like floating vehicles could be seen all across the ce along with military like structures. A group of MBO officers joggled past him and greeted with looks of respect.
E.E nodded with a smile as he kept walking. His mind traveled back to his meeting a few minutes ago and his face showed a slightly worried expression.
"I have to deter them but this is getting a bit troublesome. If I provide inurate info it affects my credibility which might ruin things over here but If I provide something urate, it would affect Gus," He murmured.
"Why did things just have to be this way?" He muttered while his mind went back to over seven months ago.

"We finally made it back..." Matilda voiced with a joyful expression as the blue and greenish came into view.
Cheers~ Cheers~ Cheers~
Within the spacecraft, loud cheers rang out as everyone instantly became ecstatic. They had been journeying through space for over a month and had to make a few stops but fortunately, they managed to make it back to earth just when they ran out of supplies.
Unlike everyone else celebrating, E.E noticed Gustav remain in his sitting position with a moody expression.
"Come on bro, cheer up a bit," He said while pping Gustav''s back.
"We may have sessfully gotten back but this is where things get serious," Gustav said.
"What do you mean? Are you still worried about Falco and Angy''s situation? We''ll definitely find them man," E.E voiced with an encouraging tone.
"Not that..." Gustav voiced while staring in Endric''s direction who was seated beside She.
"You''ll understand when the timees..."
It wasn''t until a few days after that E.E woulde to understand why Gustav said that.
MBO spacecraft intercepted them in Earth''s outerspace to confirm that they were truly the group from Ozious. The Spacecraft had over ten thousand Ozis species within since Earth participants and the MBO officers that followed, offered shelter to them.
They were of course weed into the and taken to a safe location to be catered for. As for Earth IYSOP Participants, they were weed back by the entire earth. The whole was in uproar after their return.
The news for thest one month before their return had been of Ozious destruction. They were spections about them perishing with the and some had even began to mourn their passing.
Thest footage disyed to the rest of the world during IYSOP was the spread of the dark hole consuming the entire firstyer.
The world government had addressed the earth once after the incident, iming they would do everything within their power to retrieve their youngsters and they did exactly that. It turned out that the multiple rescue spacecraft filled with MBO officers, arrived at the location where Ozious was located weekster, only to see an empty spot.
Not only was that location in space empty, it was also whitened like a sheet of paper. It didn''t look like space. It looked like everything within arge radius had beenpletely erased. To make matters worse, the earth participants were nowhere to be found and their spacecraft didn''t appear on any of the radars.
The world government was eventually going to announce the loss when they suddenly appeared over Earth in outerspace.
Few days into their return to Earth, they were kept under surveince to be catered for and to undergo proper checkup. Everyone had their familiesing to visit in the facility where they were kept except for Gustav and Endric.
Gustav was kind of moody during all of this and less talkative even when his friends tried to get him to cheer up. They assumed it must be due to the Angy and Falco situation. They were all affected by what had happened after all.
Gustav gathered them upon the fourth day of their stay in the facility and mentioned a couple of things to them.
"As we''re speaking right now the alliance is having an emergency meeting. The thousands ofs under the alliance that were in Ozious before its destruction had people within who also survived. These people are witnesses... besides them practically the entire universe had also witnessed some of my feats so they will be easy to manipte," Gustav paused at this point.
"Witnesses? What does that matter?" E.E questioned with a look of confusion.
"The destruction of Ozious will be linked back to me. I''ll be med for it and deemed dangerous to the universe atrge. The alliance will join hands to want to contain me and Earth will not be able to refuse," Gustav revealed.
Gasp~
"What? That''s... but you saved a lot of lives," Matilda felt blood rushing to her head as she spoke.
"In the grand scheme of things, that wouldn''t matter. An entire is destroyed now and if I am taking the me for it, that also means my merits wouldn''t matter. The universe will me me and since no one wants to end up like Ozious did... they will have no choice but toe after me," Gustav''s revtion shocked the rest of the group.
"That is bullshit!" Elevora couldn''t help but let out as her body visibly shook from anger.
"After everything we''ve fucking been through? We lost Angy and Falco and now they''re going to do this to you?" E.E felt his ears might be ying tricks on him.
"Is there nothing we can do to stop this? There must be something we can..." Aildris didn''t get toplete his sentence before Gustav interrupted.
"There is nothing we can do. Some of them witnessed the Death Angels trying to take Falco away and mentioning that they''re here to end me..."
