I Fall In Love In Another Dimension
Chapter 43

More and more imposing, between majestic and mad.

With the best clothes, full of exquisite jewels, surrounded by beautiful women, bodyguards and servants who served him the finest liquors and delicious meals, he was already unrecognizable the "supreme plenipotentiary emperor Pollux I, universal lord, liberator of humanities" as he was now called because he conquered everything known to what he called "dimensional invasion". He came to demand the results to Estiben and his team, he took Jose to explain concepts that he did not know, although beforehand the scientists were forbidden to confuse and much less to show any lack of knowledge of the leader, so he told them: -it turns out, they told me that they already had results for me, I hope so. I am tired of being delayed, it seems that I have not made it clear that I will not tolerate any arrogance, you must be clear that you are fortunate to be able to serve me.

Estiben took the vocation to give the report, incredible how he could already give a speech without being asked to repeat himself, he only lacked a bit of confidence:

-great supreme leader, we are very grateful with your presence, we started studies again from zero, obtaining that indeed there is little time left in the frequencies of the two realities that will cause both to collapse, we do not know when it will happen, but we must separate them of the same dimensional axis in case that happens.... Pollux angrily interrupted him saying:

-I will not allow you to do that, I would be left with only one kingdom, I know that one is better than none, but I am supposed to have the best scientists in the universe to replace the solution, now when they solve it, they are going to say that it is something new discovered thanks to me, that I have always been absolutely right.

Dr. Yací stretched to complement the talk:

-sir, what we can do is regulate both lands, causing your realm to be safe, only it will still cause annoyances such as seeing the whole spectral landscape in that dimension or people here dying if they don't use the designated protective elements. The leader Pollux formulated an idea that proved his worth:

-well, it's simple, separate the earths and set them to vibrate on the same frequency, so that we can communicate with spaceships on short journeys.

That idea was the new beginning of operations, and the idea excited the investors, since it would be easier to exploit the resources of both worlds.

...

The moon always looked far away and unreachable, now too, but not like before, now it seemed within reach of their hands, besides they saw it together with the earth as if they were sisters; Estiben watched in wonder that space view, while at the same time he questioned his idea of going aboard that ship, although it was a great experience, he also ran many unnecessary risks, although his knowledge could be useful in this delicate mission in case of any failure; Jose who was also in the mission cut for a few moments the telecommunications to talk to him:

-friend Estiben I know we have been distant and you must think I am a treacherous rat, and I am, although it is not as everything seems, now I would like to tell you about some plans that are being forged, we want to dethrone Pollux who has already become a tyrant, and is going to be replaced by his vise leader, he is promising us better salaries and more freedoms, we all know you hate Pollux so it is convenient for you to be part of our revolution.

Estiben, not believing what he was telling him, supposed it could be a trap or to prove his loyalty to the emperor, so he just rambled on:

-How do you know that he vise is better than the leader? What if when he ascends to power he is worse than a tyrant or a bad administrator, after all, he is the second in command for a reason.

José raised his fist and clenched it tightly to answer:

-He is promising us and if he fails us, then I will be in the front row to be more staunch opponent.

Estiben looked at him like a child answering him:

-You know that in an authoritarian government there are no opponents, not because of conviction, but because they are executed.

Raising his shoulders, José continued speaking:

-It doesn't matter, at least I will try, so th at my descendants will think that I am trying to make a better world,

Estiben stretched his mouth like a duck and said:

-you don't believe that.

He moved his hands like a windshield, showing his palms and smiling replied:

-ha-ha, sure, you know what really motivates me, it's a mountain of money and another one of opioids, but you are motivated by only one thing, and it's really my point.... After this mission, if it is successful, there will be no reason for him not to kill you, instead, he will send you to say that he has nothing against you, and may even offer you a ministry or an embassy.

In that instance, an astronaut comes in and says to you:

-bosses are looking for you, we arrived at the action points.

They reconnected their communication equipment and the voice of the controller informed them:

-Ladies, you were lost, we are late because of you, we have to proceed now,

Then Estiben opened the airlock that took him out into space where he did not feel astonished as the astronauts said they felt, maybe because of the suit he did not feel real, it was like being on a screen, like when you ride a motorcycle without feeling the air, although the view was frightening and imposing, it would not be anything more than an experience to increase his fame. From the shuttle came out the two satellites, one was the one that would be a space tractor and the other would open an inter-dimensional portal in its half making it be in both places and would be responsible for equalizing the magnetism and frequencies of both lands to repel each other, in the other dimension there would also be another space tractor pulling to the opposite side, to avoid conflicts of rotation or translation the lands would be separated towards the poles so on the same axis in the same way as an eight, so that they would not interfere in the future.

Estiben was in charge of supervising that the satellites would work well and activated the portal, while on earth the majority of amazed people observed this spectacle of space ballet.

In the distance he spotted a comet whose gaseous wake looked like a tail, like a s***m in search of an egg, but if it replaces it, it can destroy it, depending on the size and speed, it can carry life, substances or destruction.

The mission was a success, the landing was perfect, all the astronauts were worried that they would be received by parades and tributes, but when they came down they thought they were on the wrong planet, well it was very refreshing to feel the breeze or gravity again, there are things that we only miss when we don't have them, the emperor arrived very furious and started to shout at them:

-I'm very sorry guys, it is very unfortunate that the mission is failing, because the other side failed, now you will have to replace the solution or take full responsibility, you have to solve it quickly, remember that you have unlimited resources, you must do it as soon as possible, because apart from all the other team was stranded in space.

As expected, Estiben shouted in the sky.

-What?

Pollux looked at him with contempt and explained:

-It turns out that a small meteorite hit the ship damaging the doors and they haven't even been able to deploy the satellite nor will they be able to return with that damage, and in the other land there are no more shuttles to be able to send a rescue mission, I don't think they can hold the air and supplies until another one is built, I am very efficient, I am their leader for a reason, and as for you, I am very sorry because at the last minute your girlfriend insisted on crewing the ship, so now it is also stuck with minimal survival possibilities and the more time goes by the more they are going to decrease, I am sorry.

Estiben combed his few hairs, scratched his head and began to spin, it could not be that now after everything that had happened he would lose his beloved and moreover the mission would collapse without the other tractor, then as lightning strikes in a storm, the saving idea came to him:

-I got it, it's easy, we will leave again in our shuttle, we will equip a portal to rescue them and save the mission.

They left for that mission in space, the portal was opened, but nowhere could they see the ship, it was complicated to replace it in that immensity, after many attempts and prayers they found them, which did not solve the problems, but the most obvious one arose, as the matter changed through the portal they could not go there because maybe their space suits would not be useful in the other dimension and vice versa, they could only do it inside a ship or something similar. Estiben went around like crazy thinking about how he would do it, this is very useful, since he did not close himself to failure, his mind acted very fast to replace the solution, and it occurred to him that the two shuttles would have to be in the same place, so that they would not be exposed to outer space. After many efforts they succeeded, Estiben naturally went to look for Dr. Yací, replaceing her lying down, crying, he lifted her from the floor hugging her to comfort her:

-beautiful, I'm here, I came to save you, at last I could do it, at last I could be your hero.

They fixed the doors, sent the satellite into space to its task, now they would successfully descend to their respective planets transformed into true heroes. Again they would be wrong.
