Pure blue energy bolts flew in the directions of the bodyguards. With Jayde's sharpshooter abilities four of the bodyguards were taken down instantly. Rolling and coming up onto her knees she continued firing.

Another three bodyguards died.

Sudden sharp pain in back distracted Jayde, spinning around Jayde raised her blaster to shoot the assassin, confused how an assassin had come up behind her, her rapid thoughts firing through her brain, she figured out that they had been hidden waiting for her team.

"F*ck knew it was too damn easy, it is a f*cking ambush," she thought to herself.

Pure shocked drilled through Jayde body, instead of seeing an assassin, the man holding the blaster who had just shot her, was wearing the face of her beloved brother.

"L..L-awrence?" Jayde questioned shocked.

Another shot penetrated Jayde right shoulder, disabling her arm, the blaster dropped from her hand. Not even wasting a millisecond, ignoring the burning pain of the blaster shot, Jayde tried to pick up the blaster with her left hand, when the third shot pierced her left shoulder.

"Enough Jayde" Lawrence shouted, lifting his blaster to point it her head.

"Well done, SN1055," said Vice President Xi, clapping his hands "but you should have been faster, the f*cking bitch nearly shot me"

Looking at the two of them, Jayde was confused, she wasn't stupid she had already figured out that Lawrence had betrayed her, what she couldn't understand was why.

"Why Lawrence?" she asked, "Why the f*ck have you betrayed the movement?"

"I betrayed??" Lawrence laughed scornfully "You are the betrayer SN1098, you are the one that turned on your creators"

When Lawrence called her SN1098, Jayde felt a stabbing pain through her heart. From the time that Lawrence gave her the name Jayde for her striking emerald green eyes, she had always treasured the name, and since that day when she was 16-years-old, Lawrence had never in private called her by her designation.

"What the f*ck did you do to him" she screamed at Vice President Xi, she would never believe that Lawrence would betray her of his own free will, they must have done something to him over the past year.

"Ah my dear SN1098, we did nothing to him" Vice President Xi answered mockingly "SN1055 has always been loyal to the corporation"

"Don't lie to me" Jayde denied.

"Ah SN1098, what a naive bitch you are" Vice President Xi laughed.

"Your precious Lawrence has spent years watching you, reporting everything you have done" Vice President Xi went on to explain.

"No impossible!" Jayde denied, shaking her head.

Letting out a large belly laugh, Vice President Xi shook his head at Jayde. Then walking up to her, he viciously kicked her in the stomach, then pinching her chin with his fingers, he lifted Jayde head and stared into her eyes.

"Do you honestly believe that the rebellion was YOUR idea?" he asked mockingly.

"We needed you to rebel, those f*cking bleeding heart liberals back on Earth were starting to question the morality of genetically enhanced human"

Vice President Xi went on to describe how the Xi Corporation came up with the idea to have their enhanced people to rebel, which would make the Federation nervous. This would then give Xi Corporation the opportunity to install the kill chips, what the Federation didn't know was the chips also allowed the corporation to monitor everything that the GESS people saw and heard.

Vice President Xi further explained that Lawrence had always been one of their top operators and that he had left a year ago to go undercover as the spy who had leaked the intelligence to the Centauri.

"Haha, talk about killing four birds with one stone, we got those liberals off our backs, rooted out those with rebel tendencies, implemented our monitoring agenda and once we find your Eden we will get back all our research" Vice President Xi gloated.

Pinching her chin hard Vice President Xi asked: "So now my dear SN1098, where is Eden?"

Trying to shake her head, Jayde glared and Vice President Xi "I will never tell you" she declared.

"Pfft never?? oh, I am so going to enjoy breaking you" Vice President Xi said smiling sinisterly.

As Jayde came to terms with Lawrence's betrayal, she felt her heart shattering, she had always known humans were despicable, but she had held onto the belief that the Centauri where different, that they were united, that they wouldn't betray each other. Having this belief crushed was heartbreaking, but having it done by her brother that she had spent 60 years with left a scar of her soul that would never heal.

The only consolation that Jayde had was that she had been so busy with the relocation of the Centauri people to Eden that she hadn't spent much time with Lawrence, so he had little information on the advances of the technology of her people, and thankfully she had decided to surprise Lawrence, and hadn't told him the location of Eden.

At least her people were safe.

Jayde knew that she couldn't allow herself to fall into the hands of the Xi Corporation, even though she was confident that she wouldn't break under torture, as a child she had already been trained to withstand the best torture methods that anyone could come with, but there were other ways to access the information in her head, data mind mining was illegal, but she didn't think that would stop the Xi Corporation, and it was with that thought, that Jayde activated the microchip embedded in her brain, detonating the mini atom bomb in her backpack.

With a brief flash of pain, Jayde and everything around her disintegrated.

With that one heroic action, Jayde saved the Centauri and thousands of other genetically enhanced humans throughout the Federation.

Due to the microchip the staff left of the starship were aware of everything that had happened, they returned to Eden carry the news of Jayde sacrifice. The Centauri united and pushed back humans, rescuing thousands of their people from enslavement. They further went on to protect thousands of planets from the greedy corporations, ensuring that the indigenous aliens were protected.

Years later, Jayde was revered throughout the Centauri empire as their savior and founder. Each planet had a stature of Jayde in the main cities, made out of rare moonrock that faintly glowed giving off a pious aura and engraved at the bottom of each statue was the mantra that Jayde had lived her life by.
