Chapter Two: Discovery
When we last left our heroes on Sentinel III, Gene and Jim were arguing (as usual) and Melfina couldn't do anything about it.
Oh, wait. what's that? Oh. Excuse me readers. I have to discuss something with Melfina right now.................................Okay. Melfina said that--oh, never mind. Let me start over.
When we last left our heroes on Sentinel III, Gene and Jim were arguing (as usual) and Melfina tried to help, but after a few minutes it seemed impossible. However, things were straightened out a few hours afterward...
With apologies on that mistake to Melfina and co.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled chapter.
"Gene?"
"What?" Gene said.
"Well," said Melfina, "what other things did you have on your mind that made you forget what you were thinking about?"
"Oh. That? It's nothing."
"No. Please tell me." Melfina smiled.
"Now you know I can't walk away from this while you're smiling!"
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Please?"
"N--yes. Fine. As long as you stop bugging me like that!"
"Agreed. Now tell me!"

A ship flew through space. It flew as if it were in a hurry. It was. Inside the ship, a man sat in the pilot's seat, flying the ship. He was speaking to a face on the computer screen.
"Harry, you there?" the man said.
The face on the screen replied, "Yeah. I'm here."
"Good."
"Ron?"
"Yes?"
"You look worried."
These men, computer and...well, guy are the crew of this ship. The name of the ship? The El Dorado. The man in the pilot's seat with brown hair, a red trenchcoat, and a menacing glare is Ron. The head with green hair on the screen is Harry. They are the MacDougall brothers. And they're ready to ruin Gene Starwind's life.
Harry and Ron aren't really brothers. Harry was a cyborg. Until a space pirate named Hazanko killed him in a battle to save Melfina's life. Luckily, he created a backup of himself in the El Dorado's computer. Now all Harry and Ron care about is getting the crew of the Outlaw Star. Why? Because they are all sworn enemies.
Ron looked tenderly at Harry. "I don't know. How are we going to find Starwind?"
"And Melfina." Harry added in.
"Yeah. You-"
" Hold it! I've got something on radar!"
"Put it on the screen!"
Ron saw two small metal balls coming straight towards them from the front.
"W-what are those things?" he tried to say. Before he could, the balls broke through the glass of their window and opened up. One swallowed Ron. The other sucked Harry out of his screen and into it. Both balls flew off together.
Somewhere out in the universe, seven other balls were laughing.

Gene started to tell Melfina what was on his mind.
" Y'see, Mel, we've had a pretty routine life after we found the Galactic Leyline-"
( Author's note: I'm not going to bore you with everything that happened before this story except this - The Galactic Leyline supposedly was a place with huge amounts of treasure. Of course, Gene and co. found it.)
"- we do odd jobs, go in debt, do odd jobs, go in debt, and so on! I need more excitement!"
Melfina laughed. "So what you're saying is that you need to run around, shoot things, and act crazy?"
"Exactly!" Gene said casually.
Jim's voice came from another room. "Guys! Aisha and Suzuka are back!"
"Oh!" Melfina said. She turned to Gene. "I have to go. They were picking something up for me!"
"Okay, I'll catch up with you in a minute!" Gene leaned back. Then he realized something.
"That was an insult a minute ago, wasn't it?"
