Chapter Thirteen: The bad guys have a lot more to do
"Sir, why did we stop at Galaxy Burger a few minutes ago?"
"Because the ship needed fuel," said Dr. Heinous. "It's a good thing that they have a gas station."
Albert rested on his master's seat, because there weren't any other seats to sit on.
"What are we going to do now, sir?" asked Albert.
"We're going back to Planet Aridia. Once there, I'll get my other ship, which is much bigger than this one and make the troopers load everything in the lab onto it, including this ship."
"Why? Are we moving?"
"Yes. If I want to rule the galaxy, I need to have a bigger and better base."
"Where will this new base be, sir?"
"Planet Horax."
"Horax, sir? Wasn't that planet destroyed when Drek took a piece if it for his new planet?"
"Supposedly, yes. But somehow Planet Horax and Planet Novalis survived. There was extreme climate change, though, and every organism perished. Both planets are wastelands now."
"Why Planet Horax, sir?"
"Because no one would ever look on a planet with a fifth of itself missing for a genius like me."
"What will happen next, sir?"
"I can tweak the yellow gadget we stole and make it produce constructobots. I'll command the constructobots to build me a new base."
"What will they build the base with, sir?"
"Planet Horax was home to some very intelligent life forms. No doubt they had technology. The constructobots will scrounge up whatever they can find and build my base."
"Cool, sir. Then what?"
"You'll stay on Planet Horax and make sure that the constructobots are doing their job right. I'll give you an architectural design to show you how I want the base to look. While you're on planet Horax, I'll be taking the other ship I told you about and going to Planet Koros. There, I'll find the next piece of my weapon."
"And that would be…"
"Drek's deplanetiser."
"Drek's what?"
"Deplanetiser. The laser which Drek was going to use to destroy Planet Veldin for his synthetic world."
"Wasn't the deplanetiser destroyed, sir?"
"It was broken, not destroyed. The galactic president ordered the 'experts' to fix it encase it was needed in the future. Well, I need it and I'm going to get it."
"What will you do with the laser, sir?"
"It's a surprise."
"Will anything have to be done after that, before we begin attacking, sir?"
"Of course, Albert. After stealing the deplanetiser, I'll bring it to Planet Horax. After, I'll leave the planet and go Planet Daxx. If I want to build my weapon, I'll need special tools. With the tools, I'll build the weapon. Then I'll need something to amplify the signal of the weapon. I'm sure I'll find it on Planet Horax. After the weapon is fully built, I'll need a source of power."
"Which is...?"
"Raritanium. One hundred thousand tones to be exact. But there's one problem."
"What, sir?"
"The two planets in this galaxy, Planet Hoven and Planet Pokitaru, have been deprived of Raritanium."
"So what will you do, sir?"
"I'll think of something. Until then, let's do exactly what I said."
The ship entered the atmosphere of Planet Aridia.
