Chapter II

Fate's Plans

Ten days later, I was ready to take off. The university doesn't let anyone bring school property outside of the city, let alone the galaxy. So I have to go to the store. I ask my crew to get ready to leave while I went to the store.

The store was empty, except for the store clerk. I walked up and said, "One Partisan, please."

"Ok, I'll be right back."

He went into the back room and came out with a Partisan wrapped up in a cloth. He laid it down on the glass display table and said, "Here is your Partisan. I have been waiting to give this to you for a while."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

Just then, before the man could answer, my sister, Xiangha, came in and said, "We should get going now. Your crew is getting very annoyed and I don't want to take off until you take off."

"Just give me 100 Credits."

"Sounds good." I gave him the money.

"Ok, see ya."

I went into the starship and we took off. On the way too our destination, I decided to unwrap the Partisan. I saw a jewel on the handle. As I stared at it, I asked myself, "What is up this jewel."

We landed at our destination and I told them to stay there and wait till I got back. I went to a building about two miles or so away. A man greeted me and I showed him the Partisan and asked him what it was.

"Could you be the one?"

"What in the name of Shomoko could you mean by that?"

"The prophecy states that a star captain, with the power of the ultimate weapon, the Jeweled Partisan, at his control, would save the universe."

"What else did this prophecy tell you?"

"You can also transform. I have to go now, have a great day." The man pushed him out the door and slammed it shut on him.

"So, I have the power to save the universe. What doom has been brought to the universe? It's probably the aliens. Well, I know someone who can teach me about what's going on."

He got onto the ship and told the pilot, "Warp 2.5 to the 7th planet in the Giromo Star System." They took off from the planet and once away from its gravity, they flew off at warp 2.5 (2.5 times the speed of light.)
