Swords in The Wind

Chapter One

The Outlaw Star flew through the vastness of space searching for the ever sought after swords of the seven warriors. They were on the trail of the 4th sword The Flame Gash; they already had the first and third swords in their possession The Devils Madam and The Arctic Slasher. All of the seven swords were magical, however, the special part of these swords wasn't there magic powers it was there ability to be loaded with a caster shell and then have it fired from the tip of the sword, which made them very dangerous and powerful. The importance of this story, however, is not the power it's the past....

For these swords were used by the legendary warriors of the 7 empires the group known as The Steel Dragons. They protected the planets of the entire universe from all of the evil that dared to threaten them.

If one of the warriors fell during battle the sword was the one that would choose it's own replacement. The sword would lead the other members of the Steel Dragons to the next chosen one, but after the final battle of the Dragon Swordsman new swordsman were not chosen. Instead the swords went into a state of dormancy, or rather they shot off into space to unknown places among the stars in order to be dormant until someone worthy of wielding them arrived to claim them.

The final battle took place on Wetonace; this battle decided the fate of the seven warriors. It was a long a grueling fight that took place over several years and across several planets, but this final contest on the small planet in an unknown section of the universe. Although it is known that the planet laid somewhere near were the Oortael Docking Station is. The Docking station though, was built long after the destruction of the planet. Wetonace no longer exists and for a good reason, a reason that the legend explains.

The seven warriors of the Steel Dragons were all fighting against Kapares the strongest swordsman in the universe; a force to be reckoned with. Alone the seven warriors could do nothing, and as the legend goes; the leader of the seven was on his knees about to be killed in an execution style finish, when a light appeared from nowhere. Suddenly there was a flash and two of the seven fused together to make an even stronger warrior fusing sword and body for more power. Then another flash and again two fused for power and again until their stood 4 warriors 3 fused and the leader. The leader managed to escape his death by rolling out of the way while the flash of the fusions blinded Kapares. The warriors stood beside each other. Yet another flash occurred, even brighter than the first flashes, as they all combined together to form the ultimate warrior Desparos. His sword, a massive seven feet long and himself more than 9 feet tall compared to Kapares who was a measly 6 feet. Desparos laughed at the sight of Kapares and then in one quick motion he raised his sword and spoke, saying only 3 words "now you die"

"No" Kapares smiled as he raised his sword to block the attack

So now many people, pirates and treasure hunters mostly, search for these swords with no success.

Gene was relaxing in his room when all of a sudden Jim burst in and shouted "Gene there is another grappler ship coming at us fast" Gene didn't move, he was in a deep sleep.

"Gene you have to wake up" Jim screamed at Gene.

"What I'm up what's happening" Gene mumbled groggily as he got up.

"There's a grappler ship coming at us fast," Jim whined in Gene's almost still asleep ears.

"Then lets get it, I'm in the mood for a fight" He replied almost instantly perking awake.

"You're always in the mood for a fight, but right now you look in the mood for more sleep!" Jim yelled back to Gene as he started out the door of Gene's room. They ran up to the cockpit and Gene jumped into his seat.

"Gillium prepare the ship for a fight. How long until I can see them?" Gene spoke to the onboard computer, Gillium, as he landed in his seat.

"We'll have a visual in approximately 9 seconds" Gillium replied to gene the ship's grappling arms shot out preparing the ship for a fight. They finally had a visual; it was a small ship, the kind that would fast but not extremely powerful. Although it would be too bad for the small ship the Outlaw Star was extremely fast and extremely powerful.

The Outlaw Star fired some of its missiles, however the enemy ship was not as stupid as gene had hoped, it quickly countered with a barrage of missiles that took out all of the missiles that had been shot by the Outlaw Star.

"Damn it" exclaimed Gene. He pulled the ship in and took a swing with the grapple arms and hit the enemy ship destroying one of its arms.

"Alright, lets finish this!" Gene exclaimed.

"I've got him," Gillium said as he fired the control missiles, they latched on without too much trouble and Gillium was able to begin hacking into the other ships computer.

"Gene this ship is carrying one of the swords" replied Gillium as he finished hacking into the ships files and managed to take complete control of it locking the original user out.

"OK find it in the ship and then lets steal it" Gene yelled ready to rip a hole in the side of the ship.

"Wait until we have all of the missiles and supplies too, then we can steal everything" Jim yelled to Gene from his seat.



"Gene missiles from starboard" screamed Melfina

"AAAAHHHHH" screamed Aiasha

"Be quiet," yelled Sazuka

"Jim what can we do" asked Gene

"I'll make the other ship fire is remaining missiles to stop them" Jim replied while clicking away on his computer

"10 seconds till impact Gene" Gillium droned out, the voice of the computer seemed to come from everywhere but at the same time from nowhere.

"What the hell are you yelling at me for, Jim's supposed to be trying to fix this!"? Gene screamed at both Gillium and Jim.

"Got it," shouted Jim as the missiles exploded out of the sides of the enemy ship and blew up the incoming missiles. More missiles poured out of the small enemy ship, these missiles headed straight for the other enemy ship, the missiles didn't destroy them, but they did immobilize the ship.

"Ok, Gillium did you find out where that sword is yet" asked Gene

"Yes, Gene it's in their rear hatch it's the one we tracked to this region. Number 4"

"OK lets get it, what's the easiest way?" asked Gene

"We can drill into the ship and retrieve it with the grappler arms" replied Gillium

"All right it'll be done right away" said Gene as he pulled out the grappler arms and went to work. Later after taking the sword, Gene turned the ship to face the other ship that had been accompanying the first ship. The missiles that had been shot out of the ship while Jim was controlling it had taken it out. The Outlaw Star moved in closer and latched on, beginning the process of stealing the supplies of it as well.

This was about the only way of making a fight worth while, to steal what was left of the supplies of the ships that the Outlaw Star and it's crew had defeated, of course transporting goods was also how they made money to pay for other things like docking fees and repairs.

Gene and the rest of the crew then retired to their quarters allowing Gillium to pilot the ship to their next destination.
