Chapter 3: Weapons
"William…oh, William!"
"Mom?"
"William, where are you?"
"Up here. In the tree house."
William's mother looked up the big oak tree to see a tiny shack, built onto a group of branches. Through the opening that took the place of a window, she could see her 10-year-old son. William's brown eyes were peering down at her. He smiled. "It's dinner time, isn't it?"
"Yes it is, your dinner is getting cold. So come down from there." She looked up at him with her equally brown eyes, smiling also.
"I'm coming," He started to walk towards another, but bigger opening to get out. But, then something warm touched his back. It sent a jolt down his spine. Startled, he turned around to see what it was. Nothing.
"Probably a squirrel. Yeah, a squirrel that must've frightened somehow." The boy started to leave.
"Bill."
"Who said that?" He said this so quickly that he didn't realized he said it. He turned around yet again. Nothing.
"Probably my imag-ahh!" That warm feeling cane back to him, but now it was moving up and down his back.
"Bill."
"STOP IT!" He tried to run away, but the unseen force grabbed him by the shoulders. It started to shake him.
"BILL, CALM DOWN!"
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"BILL, WAKE UP"
Mirak kept shaking the slumbering man. "WAKE UP ALREADY! I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU STAY UP LATE LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!"
Bill's eyes finally opened. Frightened, he knocked Mirak's hands off of him and stood up looking around the room. He started to speak after he recognized his surroundings. "MIRAK, YOU BASTARD, I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!"
"WELL IF YOU WEREN'T UP ALL NIGHT LIKE A DUMBASS, I WOULDN'T HAVE TO!!!!!"
"I TOLD YOU ALREADY, THERE'S A VIRUS ON MY LAPTOP I NEED TO GET RID OFF. IT'S JUST AS IGNORANT AS SOMEBODY I KNOW!!!!!"
Mirak's right hand balled into a fist. He was looking at Bill very violently. "WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, HMM?!"
"I'M SAYIN' THAT YOU'RE IGNORANT!!!!!"
"ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GOING DOWN, MOTHERF…"
Somebody's arms restrained him. They were quite strong, too. "Calm down, geez. You're always complaining about something aren't you Mirak?"
Mirak turned his head to the side to see Ryota. "LET ME GO!"
"Mirak, don't you want to work on your Cutting Edge?
Mirak's expression was replaced by the thrill of upgrading his fighter. "I said would do that, didn't I? Bill?" He looked at the now sitting figure; he was working on his computer. "Bill, I'm sorry. It's just that…that I've been in a bad mood after that meeting with Duuz."
It looked as if Bill's anger fell and he simply forgot about it. He brushed a strand of black hair from his eyes. "What happened?" He said with curiosity.
"Yeah, I want to know who we have to kill," said Ryota. He leaned on the metal wall, eyes fixed on Mirak.
"Kill?" Bill looked at Ryota, then to Mirak.
"Mirak told us that it would be better to discuss this together." Cecilia was standing at the doorway of Bill's room. He started wonder why was this conversation was taking place in his room.
"Well, after hearing what these two said, it seems that we're all in a group." Bill sat on one end of his bed, while Cecilia sat on the other. "Explain."
They're going to kill me for this. Mirak took a deep breath. "We…have to kill," everybody's eyes were on him. A minute passed, which rendered Bill's patience. "Who? Who has to be killed?"
Mirak stared into Bill's eyes and finally said it, "the crew…of the Outlaw Star…"
PAP!!
Mirak covered his now red left cheek. He looked at Cecilia. She was up and ready to slap him again. Her eyes were wide and her voice rose, which was very uncommon for a woman like herself. "You idiot! Are you trying to kill us?"
Bill voice was raised also, but his reaction wasn't as terrifying as his female partner's. He stood up also. "If they can kill a Tao Master, what makes you think we can take them out?"
Ryota, who was always enthusiastic during any conflict, tried to think of something to say so he and his friends wouldn't viciously attack their captain. "They must've beaten Hazanko out of sheer luck, maybe that's why Duuz thinks that we can kill them.
"Yeah, hopefully. Would it be okay for you guys to stand back now? Please?" Mirak now was starting to step backwards from the angry female Saurian.
Cecilia finally started to take Ryota's unspoken advice. She changed the subject of the conversation. "What's in that envelope you got from that solider girl…Mirak?" She said his name spitefully and put her hands on her hips.
Mirak, thankful that she wasn't going to try to attack him again, pulled out the brown envelope from his coat pocket. "Cecilia, would you like the honor of opening it?"
"Give me that!" She snatched it from him. She tore the seal off and pulled out four plastic cards and a note. Her eyes widened yet again as she stared at one particular card/
"Oh my god! Where did… this… come from?"
"What happened?" Ryota looked down at the card she was looking at. There was a name 'Space Forces Weapon Testing Facility' on the top of it in blue words. Her full name 'Nephyranisia Cecilia Milerchik'* and a picture of her, pink skin; yellow eyes; and five hair like tendrils that shot down to her waist (Ryota couldn't see this for it was a head-shot). Judging from what her expression was in side the picture, Ryota said, "You seemed to be really pissed off when this picture was took."
"How did the Forces get my name? And how did they get this picture?" Cecilia sat back down on Bill's bed. "This picture must've be taken when my brother died. This is from my town's newspaper! This is the most recent public picture I have. There's a newspaper cutout of the event in my parent's scrapbook. Who gave them permission to take this picture?"
Bill, now curious, he looked at her card. "The Space Forces can do mostly anything they want to. Anyways, can I see the rest of the cards and the note?"
Cecilia handed them to him. Bill looked at the note first. "It's a fax from Duuz. Here, Mirak." He handed the note and Mirak's card to him and gave Ryota his card.
"Duuz probably forgot to give me this stuff when we were talking." He read the note. A smile crept upon his face slowly as he read it. "Listen to this:
Mirak,
You're probably thinking 'how can we take down the Outlaw Star'. Don't worry; I have everything figured out now.
Within this packet, you should have four I.D. cards for the new Weapon Testing Facility the Space Forces have. Go
there. That convoy that your fighters saved finally paid off, for that dragonite was used to make energy-based
weapons. They were originally going to be used to create standardized army rifles, but since you're going
against the Outlaw Star, I ordered them to make weapons, strong weapons for you.
Duuz
P.S. The coordinates are 11.52nw x 30.55e."
"This picture was taken when I graduated with honors in my academy," said Ryota. "My white hair has gotten longer. I'm 20 now, so this picture was probably taken two years ago."
"And this is a picture of me when I got my driver's license," said Bill.
"Bill, call the person in charge of the docking station. Tell them we're leaving." Mirak's voice always went into a commanding tone when it came to the ship. "Oh yeah. One more thing, ask them if they can refuel the carrier and the fighters."
"I'm on it," replied Bill. He left his room to go to the communications area in the cockpit of the carrier.
