(The next day, after school)
All the school kids were walking out of the castle, not going home, instead going to hang out at Kevin's arcade and apartment.
"Happy meals and ice cream on me guys" said Kevin
"Awesome, my mom won't buy McDonalds for me, she hates that place" said Sophie
"I want a cheeseburger" said Mocho
"I'll have them delivered" said Kevin
As the group left the castle grounds, they were stopped by a robot wearing a purple outfit, red boots, and a metal cone shaped hat
"Well look who I have here, a bunch of school kids heading to the old hangout spot it seems. Now which one of you is Lucy?"
Lucy was in the back of the group, headphones over her head listening to music. She was also texting on her phone so she didn't hear any of what was happening. Reese punched her arm and got her attention. She threw her phone and headphones in her purse and spoke.
"Who're you?" Lucy asked
"Who am I? I'm your worst nightmare babe. Behold, Scaramouche the merciless, the number 1 assassin in Samurai jack battle through time. I'll be honest, I have no idea who you are, but I have been paid handsomely to kill you. Someone really hates you"
Lucy rolled her eyes, pulled her lightsaber from her purse, then slid her purse off her arm onto the ground
"Yeah, like I haven't been threatened before. You're nothing to me at this point" said Lucy
Mocho and cinnamon raised their wands, Kevin pulled out a blaster, Sophie her lightsaber, norville and Lodhi got into their skeletal forms, and Christie showed off her fire and ice powers.
"You're about to get your metal butt kicked" said Sophie
"Who'd want to have Lucy killed?" Mocho asked "she's changed"
"Ooh I'm so scared, NOT! And I'd never tell. But I will say this, my client wishes to feed Lucys dead body to an alligator, or a dragon, something with sharp teeth" said Scaramouche
"You vont her? You'll have to go through us first" said Christie
"Well then, let's dance shall we?"
Scaramouche jumped on a building across the street from the castle and pulled out a flute. He started playing a tune which made the ground shake. Pieces of nearby buildings as well as the road were ripped up and started to form a large golem like creature. The kids got into attack positions.
"Lucy, get him, we can handle this thing" said Cinnamon
Citizens around the castle ran in fear as the monster started attacking the kids. Christie used her powers to freeze the creatures legs while her brothers fired sharp bones through it which ripped it to shreds.
"Oh how cute, the little kids beat my monster" said Scaramouche
A dozen battle droids ran out of the castle and aimed their weapons at Scaramouche as Lucy pulled him from the rooftop.
"Surrender" said the droids
"Oh I don't think so" said Scaramouche
He pulled out a sword and quickly danced around the droids, slicing them up til they were destroyed. Scaramouche pulled out his flute and played his tune again, but this time it sent chunks of the street raining down on the kids. Mocho and cinnamon created a shield over everyone while Lucy threw her saber at Scaramouche's chest. The blade barely hurt him, he must've been strong. Kevin fired a laser at Scaramouches flute, destroying it. He gave a laugh
"You may have destroyed my flute, but you'll never destroy the music master that is me"
He began scatting before tossing another sword towards Lucy. The more he scat, the more the sword moved around the air, trying to hurt the kids. Lucy pulled her saber back to her and charged for scaramouche, slashing at him as he blocked her blows with his sword.
"Lucy look out" mocho shouted
Lucy saw Scaramouches second sword fly towards her, she moved out of the way but not quick enough. The sword sliced through her hair, cutting her ponytail off, and another flyby cut her hair shorter. Lucy used her powers to hold it back while the other kids used their abilities to hold Scaramouche down. Norville got a hold of the flying sword and destroyed it with his powers. Lucy charged for Scaramouche and with a hard swing of her saber, she sliced his head off. Sparks flew off his headless body as his head rolled to the ground.
"I see, it's curtains for me babe" said Scaramouche
Sophie picked up his head.
"Unless you wanna become a box of spare parts and have your game delisted, you'll tell us who hired you" said Sophie
"Ok, I give up. There's this pony named Rocky, he lives on Equestria. He paid me a big sack of gold coins to kill Lucy. He told me she ruined his life. I don't even know that much about Lucy, it's just a job. Please don't kill me" Scaramouche begged
Sophie dropped the head back onto the remains of the street.
"Lousy girl toys" Sophie muttered
"I'll deal with this Rocky later, I'll have my droids and the imperials get him arrested. I'll decide a punishment tonight" said Lucy as she picked up Scaramouches head and threw it in her purse "I'll send this guy on his way later too. Tell me guys, does my hair look bad?"
"It looks like you just got a haircut. But your head looks alright" said Cinnamon
"Oh, it'll take a while to grow my hair back to its proper length" said Lucy sadly
"It's ok Lucy, you're still pretty even with short hair" said Mocho
"Yeah, I like you better this way. Come on, I have short hair, and I love it" said Annaween
"It's really not zat bad Lucy. I'll help you through Zis, having short hair as Vell" said Christie
"We all will. Now come on, why don't we just head to the arcade, get some food, and cool off" said Sophie
More droids ran to the scene to check on the kids. Lucy threw them Scaramouches head.
"Get him fixed and back to his game. Put an arrest warrant on a pony named Rocky. I'll be home later" said Lucy
"Roger roger" said the droids
"Queen Lucy, did you get a haircut? You hate having short hair"
"You can thank this robot for that. I'll be ok. Besides, it'll grow back" said Lucy
She put her headphones back on before continuing her walk with the other kids to Kevin's place.
(Later, Honeys house)
Sophie was finally coming home before sundown, her curfew, when she noticed Honey in the living room with bags of McDonald's food as well as Imperial Rations. Sophie was surprised to say the least
"Mom?" Sophie asked "what are you eating?"
"Oh hey sweetie, I just had this strange craving for McDonald's, funny huh? And are these rations delicious, I must buy more" said Honey
"This must be your pregnancy kicking in. You won't even buy me McDonald's, I always have to eat it at another kids house or have dad buy me it. And you like those rations? They're disgusting" said Sophie
"Not today they're not" said Honey "Anything new with you?"
"Fought a robot and a monster made of the road, Lucy got an unwanted haircut, learned about ocean life at school today, learned Reese has mermaid powers during that, she's becoming weird all of a sudden. You know what, I'll be in my room, I can't stand to see you eat those rations" said Sophie
Sophie retreated to her bedroom with her moms bees following, they too a little weirded out by honeys behavior. They helped Sophie finish a little homework she had and talked with her. Zeke came home soon after, and the next thing the 4 knew, Honey and Zeke were arguing.
"Hey don't you blame me if life in the navy sucks. You can leave anytime you want" Zeke shouted
"Lucy doesn't let me do anything anymore. She thinks she's so cool because she's a queen. She's just a spoiled brat who fears me. But what angers me more is how you seem so uncaring about how I feel about this" Honey yelled
The bedroom door opened and in came one of Honeys battle droid servants she got for Christmas, a B1 droid she named Roger, and in his hand a plate of cookies. Sophie secretly hated the battle droids and wished her mom didn't have them, she knew the horrors they caused in her old life, but she knew they were a big help around the house doing chores and watching her moms store.
"Brought you a snack, in case you're hungry" said Roger
"Thanks. Everything ok down there?" Sophie asked
"Miss Honeys mood swings it seems are kicking in" said Roger
Zeke came in a moment later and dismissed roger.
"Sorry you had to hear that down there" said Zeke
"Are you and mom ok?" Sophie asked
"We'll be fine. What happened doesn't have anything to do with you I assure you. Moms new job in the navy isn't what she wanted and she's frustrated. She feels everyone is smothering her and nobody knows how she feels. She'll be ok in time, she went out for a walk. She just needs to cool off is all" said Zeke
"This pregnancy is really getting to her" said Bumble "hope she doesn't do anything drastic"
"Come on, what can she possibly do?" Zeke asked
(Space, sometime later)
Honey landed her x wing fighter in the hangar bay of her decommissioned star destroyer called The Wasp, and turned it back into a code box. She stuffed the box in her purse and tossed her pearls off, throwing them somewhere she didn't see, she didn't want to think of her husband right now and that's exactly what they did. She was frustrated, nobody it seems knew how she felt, being trapped in this game like she did her old website.
Right now she needed to think, she needed to be alone. And what better place for her than her wedding gift from Lucy? At least on this old ship, she was the captain, she was the queen, she could do whatever she wanted. She stood on the bridge of the ship and looked out the windows. She saw the space station her ship was docked in, she saw the Smorelines personal destroyer gifted to them by Lucy for their loyalty to her, 'The Oasis', painted with cinnamon brown swirls over the hull. In the distance, Lucy 1 orbited the planet Litwak city was on, guarded by a Lucrehulk and a dreadnought, as well as 3 frigates. Honey stuck her tongue out at the station.
"Lucy you're a spoiled brat who doesn't know how to properly run a kingdom. If you did you would know im better suited to hunting those pirates you claim are causing you trouble. And by the way, I'm way prettier than you" Honey bragged to herself
Honey turned away from the bridge and went to explore, she needed to find a place to sleep, she felt she was gonna be here a while.
