Chapter 1: Old enemies…
Year: 22008 S.P (space period), Sector: 12G, around 12 noon. The Dark Emerald was cruising through the battle field at around 15 parsecs (relatively slow), all 22 turrets blazing, destroying all enemy fighters that lay before it. Soon, only one thing lay in their way-a personalized all space terrain assault (ASTA) cruiser, piloted by the ruthless long time enemy of The Dark Emerald's crew, The Emerald Knights, James Atfal. But The Dark Emerald's captain, Simon Rimmer Lugius, was undeterred. In fact, he has asleep in his chair, dreaming lustful dreams. But, much to his dislike, all 22 girls started yelling in a familiar male voice.
"Sir, wake up! SIR!" Simon's Best friend and right hand cat, Hennessey O'Lafferty was starting to worry. "SIR!" he yelled, louder than he did when the fourth moon of Theis (smallest although strangely heaviest) crashed into neighbouring Sieht, which the Emerald Knights were exploring, crushing his tail in between. Simon's eyes shot open and he rubbed his ears in agony.
"Calm down, Henn! God dammit, you cats don't half scream! And please, stop calling me 'Sir' all right? My name is Simon." Simon stood up and staggered half asleep down the small flight of stairs to the main deck, as his chair was raised above it.
"Sorry, Sir! Won't happen again, Sir!" Hennessey snapped a perfect smart salute. Simon groaned, half smiling. The Dark Emerald stopped to confront its foe. James's leering face buzzed through on the intercom.
"Still alive I see, Hennessey. Thought that moon crushed you." Hennessey snarled. "Only my tail, James." spitting the words with venom. "And thanks to medical advances, I've had another genetically constructed from my DNA." James smiled. "Shame. Well, was the doctor trained in all medical aspects? Basically, an expert doctor?" Simon awoke from a lewd daydream about him and a female crew member in James's crew, who had just walked out of range.
"Whys that, James?" already knowing the answer. Only James's voice came through before the communications barrier was raised to say the words Simon was expecting: "'Cause you're ALL gonna need one when I'm finished with you!" And With that the ASTA Cruiser lunged forward.
