Chapter I
An Easy Fight
I was waiting for the rain to let up. I was stuck inside the police station and it was gloomy day. I fell asleep against the reception desk.
Just then, a flash of lightning and a boom of thunder woke me up.
"It's still raining, chef?"
"Yes, it is. It's been like this for two hours and counting, and it's just getting worse."
Just then, the rain started to let up and the after a minute or so, the sun was shining.
"I spoke too soon."
"See you, Chef Duncan."
"Bye."
I went outside and decided to head over to the University. When I got there, I went to the energy blades room and retrieved the Partisan.
Just then, the alarm was raised.
"Just my luck, the rain lets up, and then an alien Mecha attacks the city."
"You better get going, Riku. The Kingdant and the Dean want all students to pitch in to help us battle the alien forces."
"I know, I know. You don't have to tell me that every time I lag behind, Xiangha. You may be my sister, but you don't have to act like a mother."
"I'm just reminding you."
"Well please don't."
"Sorry."
I quickly got into my mecha. I still have the Newbatron Starter Mecha. Every time I try to save up for a new mecha, I end up spending it on something else.
Anyway, I was the first to make it to the alien mecha, which was a Shadow Plasma Gunner, the strongest form of a Shadow Whelp, but still a very easy opponent for a Star Captain like me.
I started with a Shining Electron Sniper. I stunned him, and used my Solar Mega Blaster. The Shadow Plasma Gunner blasted to bits in an explosion of fire and smoke, just like any time a mecha is destroyed.
I went back to Soluna City and told them about the short battle.
"How was it," asked Xiangha, "What was it?"
"A weak Shadow Plasma Gunner. Nothing hard."
"Oh, ok."
I walked over a little ways, and stared at my starship. I then said, "I can't wait for the preparations to be complete. All I need is to get a big load of starship fuel, get a crew, update my star map, and set up the navigation systems. It should be ready in about a week, if you've ordered the fuel all ready. You have ordered it, right?"
"I thought you had that covered?"
"Make that a week and 3 days."
