The Outlaw Star had been in flight towards Blue Heaven from Sentinel III, with the Galactic Layline found and Hazanko defeated, little was left to be done.
Gene was headed to Blue Heaven to find some bounty hunting, try and "Make it big" as he always said.
"Gene... I'm not detecting anything ahead of us" Guillium announced
"Well thats a good thing, right?"
"I'm afraid not Gene, by nothing I mean nothing! No ships, planets, or even stars."
"Thats impossible... the only other time thats happened is when we were approaching the Layline!"
"Could... Could that mean we've stumbled upon the new coordinates of the Layline?!" Jim said
"You mean we have another chance for treasure! Allll riiight!!" Aisha chimed in, smiling like a jackel
"I'm sensing that it is indeed the Layline... It has moved far, but it does not know this is a high traffic space lane" said Melfina
"Then what are we waiting for? Lets do it again!" Gene was enthusiastic, with noone else to bother them, he'd have time to make his desire come true!
"But Gene! Melfina isn't the key anymore! How are we supposed to get in?!" Jim said anxiously
"No problem, the key part of Melfina is still with the Layline" said Gene
"Lets hope it works Gene" Suzuka said calmly
With that, the Outlaw Star changed course and proceeded to enter the Layline, much like it had done in the previous encounter.
"Noooo! my ears are going to be hurting again...!!" Aisha exlaimed; the last time her ears where still ringing from the terrible noise made by the
Layline even after she got back on the ship after killing Jukei.

Inside the Layline
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, we've reached this little stand thing. How do we open it?" Aisha was curious, she wanted that pile of dragonite so she could get back to being an ambassador!
"Well... the last time it was opened when Melfina got in it, so why don't you go try again Mel?" Jim said
"Uh... I suppose, but they key part of me left, I don't know if it will work..." Melfina was a bit nervous. She didn't like being suspended up there the first time
"Go ahead and try, whats the worse that could happen?" Gene wasn't worried at all about the whole thing
"Well... I suppose" Melfina climbed up into the lock to the Layline. When she got in, the clamps brought her arms up like they did before, and the lock proceeded to move back,
again like it did before, but Aisha was in the way and didn't see it coming. She was jammed back into the Layline core, but something strange happened then, the lock stopped
moving and released Melfina.
A strange voice that sounded familiar was heard
"Thou is not the Maiden; bring the Maiden" The Layline said over a few times.
"Well what the hell! I suppose you were right Mel, so lets go..." Gene stopped
"Where's Aisha?" Gene asked
"Last I saw, she was behind the lock..." Suzuka trailed on
"She must... she must have gotten pushed through the wall!"
"Whaat?! Aisha!! Are you alive?!" Jim ran over to the wall and pressed his ear against it. He heard nothing, just silence. He began to back up, and as he did, the lock started moving
back to its original position. Jim peered through the crack formed as the lock started moving back, but he saw nothing; no blood, clothes, or any sign that Aisha had been there.
"Aisha!! Where are you?!" Jim yelled
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wh... where am I? Aisha looked around. She hadn't been inside the Layline core before, so this was all very foreign to her. She looked around, and saw only darkness, except for a
point of light a short distance away. She proceeded to walk towards it. A few minutes later she reached the point of light, and saw a strange, twisted shape with a flat panel of some
sort at the top end of it.
"Are you the layline?" Aisha inquired
The panel turned white, and a face appeared.
"Thou are not supposed to be here, bring the Maiden" With the the face disappeared, and something started to happen. A wind began to swirl around Aisha, and a bright light
stabbed from the sky and covered her. She felt herself getting drowsy instantly, and fell asleep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aisha awoke in a grassy meadow, bright blue skies, and a warm sunny day.
*yawn* Aisha sat up and looked around, "Where am I?"
She was still a bit sleepy, but she stood up and examined her surroundings.
"Nothing for miles around that I can see, except for a few trees over there"
"Where am I supposed to go from here... Grrrrr... and I hungry, and I don't have anything to eat!!" Aisha was becomming upset.
She walked off in a huff going in the direction of the trees.
"Why of all the stupid things... This makes me soooo mad..."
Her stomach gurgled .
"I'm sooo hungry... I could even eat those leaves!" The thought of even trees for food made her a bit excited, so she proceeded into a full speed run at the trees, becomming unaware
of what was in her path...
"AHHHHHH!!!!" Aisha cried as she tripped over something and went headlong into the ground, skidding a few feet. Now she was very upset... She jumped up, whipped around, and
looked down at what had tripped her...
The thing appeared to be some sort of animal.. it was yellow, and looked like a rat with a brown tail shaped like a lightning bolt.
"Well what in the hell is that?!" Aisha couldn't figure out what it was... whatever it was, it turned and looked up at her
"Pikachu?" The little rat thing made a noise
"Pikachu? what kinda saying is that?" Aisha was perplexed, never before had she seen this kinda thing. Whatever it was, it looked awfully like a mouse... a fat, juicy mouse..
Aisha's hunger took over, and her eyes glazed over
"MMMMMM mouse!!" She picked up the frightened little creature, opened her mouth and brought the creature forward.
"Piiikkaachuuuu!" the little creature eeped out, and then it shocked her
"Aiiiieee!" Aisha was thrown back, her hair frizzy from the electricity.
"Wh... Why you LITTLE PIECE OF YELLOW SHIT!!" Aisha screamed
She lept forward, grabbed the small animal in both hands, and with a strong, swift motion, seperated its head from body. Just as Aisha had finished decapitating this small mouse
thing, a small boy with a red had came into view.
"Pikachu! Pikachu where are you?!" the small boy cried out
the boy noticed Aisha, and looked in her hands. There he saw the small thing decapitated..
"Pikachu!! NOOOO!!!" The boy cried out
Aisha looked puzzled at the small boy. What was it she had just killed?
