Chapter Three: Don't Break the Seal
Aisha and Suzuka were standing in the kitchen next to Melfina and Jim. Aisha was a girl, no, cat girl, strong and proud. She was of a race called the Ctarl-Ctarl, who could morph into creatures at will. Suzuka wore a kimono with a sword tied to a sash. She was a master at martial arts and once made a living as an assassin who killed her opponents before sunset, earning the nickname "Twilight Suzuka."
Somehow, these two were now friends with Gene and part of the crew.
Gene walked in, yawning. "What took you guys so long?"
Aisha laughed. "We were on a dangerous mission, filled with peril. There was a treasure at the end, so we kept on going."
"She's exaggerating," Suzuka said. She held up a bag. "We were just getting the groceries so Melfina could make dinner."
"Mya! Well, to me, food is treasure!"
Gene turned to Melfina. "What is for dinner, anyway?"
"A new recipie," Melfina said. "It's a surprise."
"Will there be dessert?"
"Of course."
Jim grinned. "I can see Gene is back to his old self!"

After dinner, Gene got very tired all of a sudden. So, he turned in early (which is odd, because Gene usually stays up late and sleeps in).
Gene got the strangest dream in the middle of the night. He was floating in space, with Hilda, and they were watching seven metal balls float in different directions. All of a sudden, they were seeing the El Dorado being attacked by two more balls. Seven voices were laughing as this happened.
Hilda turned to Gene. "Gene, you followed your dreams and found the Leyline. But because of that, many other people are now your enemies. You think you defeated them, they are coming back. These enemies are trying to eliminate your allies and other enemies so all that is left is your ship and its crew. They're trying to get to you." Hilda started to fade away. "You want action and here it is. Be careful..."
Gene woke up.

When Gene woke up, he was thirsty. So he struggled out of bed and walked to the kitchen. He got a glass of water...and dropped it. In front of him was a floating metal ball...like one from his dream. On it was a small red yinyang wax seal. The seal started glowing. Gene's eye's glowed red. He couldn't resist. He took out his caster gun and blew the seal away.
His eyes stopped glowing. He looked around. The ball was gone. "Boo." someone said behind him.
Gene spun around. There was a woman in a pink suit standing there. He had recognized her from somewhere.
She pulled out a fan and whipped it open. She smiled. "We meet again, Gene Starwind."
Then, it hit him. It was Hamushi of the Anten Seven!
