** Hello all! Hope you are enjoying the story so far. Sorry about the kind
of long update time. Also for anyone who has been to my site, I added my
non-fan fiction artwork, wallpapers, and bio page. So if you are interested
check it out! ^_^**
I awoke the next day, surprisingly well rested despite the fact that I had been lying on cold steel all night. I looked around groggily and checked to make sure I still had my castor. It was exactly where I had left it, clutched to my chest...and still completely empty. I sweat dropped at my needless worry. Then the unidentifiable voice spoke loudly through the speakers, causing the metal to vibrate slightly. "Today marks the beginning of the first day on the road to your complete and utter humiliation!" Then it was instantly silent. "What? No maniacal laughter?" I grumbled angrily. "What could they mean about my humiliation?" I mused. "What kind of kidnappers captures people and doesn't use them for ransom?" I furrowed my brow trying to make sense of everything.
Even with all of my experience gathered from years of outlawing, I've never come across an adversary like this one. They are making a fool of me!" I growled to myself. Then my eyes shot open with realization! I pounded my open palm with my fist and grinned slyly. "So that was their game...make an ass of Gene Starwind would they....Well half knowing was one fourth the battle right? I guess that's how it works....Anyway I was catching on and that renewed my confidence. That was good timing because as I finished mentally patting myself on the back, one of the wall panels slid slowly into the floor revealing a showed passageway.
"Freedom?" my hopeful brain wondered. But such hope was not founded in reality. As I walked forward, the shadows parted and the steel walls formed an extensive metal hallway. Not wanting to miss any possible chance of escaping that horrid metallic prison I began to walk down the hallway.
As I suspected, escape was not easily achieved. They would play with me before they would ever let me go. I hated to play along with others' devices but I really didn't have a choice. That said, the door that freed me slid shut moving my prison to the maze ahead of me. So being forced to traverse this path, I walk forward hoping the end was not too far off.
As the door opened, Vega watched Gene enter, hesitate then move forward as the door shut, cutting off any retreat. She watched him walk on, pleased with the start of her plan. It would all be worth it, when she could give her teammates the prestige among the pirates that they all deserved. No longer would any pirate mock the name of Casis. By capturing and humiliating Gene Starwind, the best outlaw, she would make a name for them all. It was brilliant. Never before could a pirate claim that they had outwitted Gene Starwind. Finally they would get respect from the entire region of space.
**Well that was a short chapter and not too exciting but necessary. Next time: Gene wanders the maze, while Vega gets an unexpected visitor...and Singh an unexpected suitor?!? Stay tuned to find out!**
