Together we stand united
The Zaelion galaxy. Home to all the great teams of the galactik football cup. And also home to the Shiloh pirates, a rouge group of freedom fighters, led by the most wanted man in the galaxy, Sonny Blackbones. In the shiloh archipellago, a small fleet of 3 smaller ships, and one big, made ready to depart. The mission was to target, intercept and steal the cargo of the technoid convoy they were targetting. « We're ready to intercept Sonny, any last orders?», it was the ships deputy commander, Corso Takashi, Sonny Blackbones friend for many years, that spoke. Sonny was looking at the computerscreens. « No, go by things the usual way».
«Do we ditch the ships, or have them transported to the Nebula for strip downs and assessment of personal use`?» Corso always thought about these things, but because it was his job. Sonny already had enough on his hands and depended on him to take care of such things. « Do things the usual way Corso». Sonny turned halfway and smiled as he looked at the screens on board his infamous ship, The black Manta. «Strip what we need from the ships, and then, have the groundcrew work on them and make them flyable». Corso nodded agreeingly. Sonny's words was the law on board. As their leader and captain, Sonny was rarely ever questioned on his decissions. The Technoid convoy was visible on screen now. The smaller ships intercepted the convoy. Corso came in with the team from Black Manta first, and they came in armed. Sonny was always the last to board. Being a wanted man with a pirce on his head, made the pirates protect him. Sonny wore a hood and a special mask, to protect himself. But everyone knew who he was. Sonny would order his men to take the crew of the ships over to the holdingcells of Black Manta, and have his own men man the ship and fly it to the Nebula. There, he would tell them what to do with it. The Technoid employees on board knew they had been boarded by pirates, and made no resistance, Sonny was known to treat prisoners respectfully. They allowed themselves to be transported aboard sonny's ship, with no hessiattion...
In another galaxy, Shil'Annoa, a different war was going on. The royal family had been slayn, and a new leader had been appointed. Except, no one knew who it was, nor where this person was hiding. The rebells ( a group simmilar to the pirates in more ways than one), had taken this new leader to safety, protectting her at all costs. Cause all that was known, was that this leader was a female. In the Shil' Annoa woods, Winston Keater, a freelancer, was running for his bare life, with a young women, named Wicky at his side. Winston knew what would happen if they were cought, and he would not let it happen. His gear included everything from an eyepiece to surveilancecams to a well armed ship. Wicky, the woman next to him, had to go into hiding. The evil lord Murata was at large. His plan was to rule supreme over the galaxies. He knew there to be more. His twin, the now diseased General Bleylock, lived in the Zaelion galaxy. Keater knew they had to reach the portal. If Wicky was cought, it would all end. They needed to get her to safety. «Wicky, to the left, then double back and head for the main target». Wicky gave a nod, and bolted in the direction Keater had sent her off too. Keater found cover behind some bushes and aimed at the droids following them. «Sorry, but not today» he said as he sent the magnetic disks out to stop the droids. It was almost too easy. All those microchips did the droids no good, such a waste of power really, but this time, it was to their advantage. Keater moved without a sound, and spotted his redhead friend Wicky, just meters in front of him. «Wicky». She turned at the sound of his voice. Keater signaled to move towards the hidden eastern portal. As soon as they reached it, Keater did something unexpcted. «I'm sorry for this Wicky, but you'll be safe there, it the only safe place left for you to go» he said as he pushed her into the capsule, and started punching in the coordinates. Wicky was not happy. «Keater, what are you doing? Stop this, I command you».
«Command all you want, it doesn't matter if you're the rebells leader, this I do for your safety and our survival».
«Damn you Winston Keater, let me out of here», Wicky was pounding the doors of the capsule.
«I'm sending you to the Zaelion galaxy, you'd be safe with Sonny Blackbones and his men».
«Sonny Who?».
«Only the most wanted man in the galaxy. But don't be fooled by it. It is technoid that has put that wanted ad out for his capture, I know Sonny, he's a good guy through and through. Trust me, he's the one that can help you the most, he and his men». With those very words, Winston pressed the launch button and sent Wicky off into the unknown through the hidden portal. He sighed, he needed to find a way to tell Sonny of their visitor...
Zaelion galaxy. The looting was done. Sonny checked all the datas. This had been a most sucessfull raid. Duke Maddox was going to get furious for sure. Corso came up to him. «Looking good eh?» he said as he glanced at the lists.
«Better than expected» retorted Sonny. He was very happy with this outcome. An extra cargo had lead to some of the pirates ships could be fixed, and put back into service. The two headed towards the prison holding cells of the ship. A total of 42 prisoners from Technoid was taken. And 35 robots. «Corso, have Artie and Bennet reprogram the robots, we could use some new mechanics and chefs onboard our ships».
«I just hope they're better cooks than Tin Can, otherwise, we risk the entire crew onboard the ship to suffer from too much salt by the end of the week» growled Corso unhappily,causing Sonny to burst into a spontaneous laughter.
«What's the matter? Had enough of his food?».
«I'd beg you to hire Tia as a chef when she stops playing football, that food really was to die for». Sonny nodded agreeingly. None of them had forgotten that meal, one that Sonny continued to describe as the best meal he had ever tasted.
«Corso, all human prisoners, are to have their memories of this erased, then they are to be shipped back to Technoid, the droids will need reprogramming, untill that, they remain inactive. Make sure this is done within the hour, before we head home». Sonny looked at his list to make sure he had not missed anything.
«Right away Sonny,Anything else?»
«No,that will be all for now» Sonny turned to head back to the bridge. A strange, purple light was seen through the window, right outside of the ship.
«Sonny, what is that?» shouted Bennet.
The light seemed to slide through the window, leaving it intact, Sonny had all his men pull back,as the beam hit the floor. When the light cleared,they all stared in shock. There, on the floor, lay a beautiful redheaded woman...
how will this develop? Will Wicky get help to hide from the pirates? And what about Winston Keater? The story has just begun, and all I can promise is, it won't be boring.
