We had no trouble getting out of the palace after we picked up the woman. When we got outside, I gently laid her down on the ground and took out my radio. I tuned the radio so I can talk directly to the captain. When I got through, all I heard was, "WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING CALLING ME DIRECTLY!" I replied, "Sorry Amelia, I was just…"
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?"
"Sorry Captain, jeez. Listen, I need a transport ship here right away."
"What for?"
"We found something that we can't haul on our sky cycles." With that said, a transport ship came to us and landed just five feet in front of us. Eight heavily armed men came out of the back hatch and brought in our sky cycles. The woman I was holding was put on a stretcher for safety reasons. Once we were all strapped in, we took off for the Airship. While flying back, I kept an eye on the woman. Just to make sure nothing happened to her. When we got back, we were greeted by a tall, blonde woman who looked to be in her mid-fifties. She wore a long white doctor's coat on. She was also taller than I was but not taller than Chaoiz.
She looked at us with pale-blue eyes and said with a low husky voice , "Welcome back to the Pluumonos boys. How went the plundering?" Chaoiz and I both sweat-dropped at that last remark while she stood there with a quiet smile. "It was good Rebecca, thanks for asking", replied Chaoiz. "Got something here you might want to take a look at," I said while gesturing with my thumb to the transport ship with the medical staff taking the woman out of it. She just nodded and walked over to where I was pointing. Everyone fell silent when the intercom speakers buzzed.
A woman's voice came over it and yelled, "BAXX ISIAC KAZUNA AND CHAOIZ VON LAFLAIR! REPORT TO MY OFFICE AT ONCE!" Chaoiz turned to me and said in a low monotone voice, "We are so screwed mate." I looked at the floor slightly nodding and said in the same kind of voice, "Yeah I know." As we were walking through the ship to the Captains office, people were making unsightly gestures at us indicating we were going to die. Sadly, I think they are right. We came upon her door and knocked ever so slightly as if not to make a noise. Then we heard a woman's voice in a polite and kind manner as she said, "Come in now."
We entered nervously and sat in the two chairs in front of a desk. Behind the desk was a big, black leather chair rocking back and forth. Chaoiz and I looked around the room and saw many different types of swords. Fencing, short, long and broad, they were all there and they were real. What makes it scary is that she knows how to use every, single one of them. When the rocking stopped, we both turned our heads forward in a snap. Slowly the chair turned around and there sat Amelia a.k.a The Captain. She had a smooth, pale colored skin and long brunette hair. She wore a blue captain's suit with gold linings. Her eyes are piercing yellow eyes, almost like cats eyes.
She looked to be in her high thirties. She looked at us with her hands folded in her lap and showing a scary devilish smile that would make children cry. "So boys," she said in a calm voice. "Do you know why the both of you have been called to me?" We were silent because if we opened our mouths, we would say something stupid. Therefore, we shook our heads and continued looking at her. She put her hands on the desk, stood up and changed her smile to a calm, relaxing smile and said, "It is because the both of you are IDIOTS!"
"Is that all," I said, "I could've told you myself and if not that, I would've said it in a different way." As I smiled, she closed her eyes, bowed her head and a tick grew on her head. I then asked, "Is this because I called you Amelia earlier and just now?" When I finished, her tick grew and she angrily said, "Yes, plus you brought back a person which is against rules. You had to call for a transport ship for something small and to top it off. You called me a dumb bitch. So in retrospect of what you asked earlier." Then she looked up and yelled at the top of her lungs, "SO YES, I AM REALLY PISSED OFF AT YOU! CHAOIZ, YOU WERE TOO BUSY FLIRTING WITH SARAH THAT YOU DIDN'T LEAVE WHEN I TOLD YOU TO! IN ADDITION, YOU FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE TRAINING MODULE IN THE TRAINING SECTOR AND IT WAS STUCK ON LEVEL SIXTY! IT ALMOST DESTROYED THE NEW RECRUITS WE HAD! NOW, WHAT DO YOU TWO HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELVES!"
Chaoiz shrank back into the chair and asked in a small whimpering voice, "Why didn't you yell at him?" "Because my fist was in his ear and he couldn't hear me," she replied. As I was about to say something, her left fist came flying at me and hit me right in the ear. When she made contact, I flew to the right side of the room and crashed into a small bookcase. As I lay there twitching from pain, the Captain let her fist drop and went back to her seat. She sat down and started to take deep breathes. She then rested her elbow on the desk, folded her hands across her mouth and calmly said, "You two are dismissed now. Please take Mr. Baxx to the infirmary and have him revived. You two will take a lunch break after two hours of rest and I expect the both of you to return to the ship after you are done. You may leave now."
With that said and done, Chaoiz quickly grabbed me by the legs and dragged me over to the infirmary. He placed me on one of the beds and Rebecca came by. She looked at me then looked at Chaoiz and asked, "The Captain hit him, didn't she?" Chaoiz just nodded. She just sighed and took out a syringe with a red liquid inside. She stuck me with it and injected the liquid in me. All my wounds healed and jumped out of bed in a heartbeat. Then I started doing squats like there is no tomorrow. I was so hyper, I moved faster than time. Chaoiz smacked me in the back of the head and it brought me back to normal. I rubbed the back of my head and said, "Thanks." Then Rebecca said, "Alright, follow me boys. You need to see this."
We walked through the infirmary until we came upon the emergency room. As soon as we walked through the door, that woman was sitting on the bed wide-awake kicking her legs at the side. She had lovely emerald eyes. I was relieved that she was okay. When she saw us, she hopped down from the bed and placed her hands in front of her. She stood there very prime and proper. I couldn't help but stare. I was then broken out of staring by the yelling of Rebecca. "BAXX, WAKE UP", she yelled. I shook my head and placed my hand over it. "Ahem", Rebecca said, "this is Bella Saint." She gestured with her hand to the woman. "I want you two to give her a tour of the ship", she ordered, "Then take her to the Captain." "Why", I asked.
"Because the Captain wants to take a look at her and see if she will be good enough to join us."
"Well, I would be delighted to give her a tour. Except Chaoiz has to clean up a mess he left in the training sector." "You bastard, I am not cleaning up that mess", Chaoiz said angrily. Just then, the captain yelled over the intercom, "CHAOIZ, YOU BETTER CLEAN UP THAT MESS YOUR OR I'LL CLEAN IT UP WITH YOUR FACE!"
"I hate you. You stupid wanker." I had on a smile of accomplishment while trying not to laugh. The moment he left, I turned around and saw Bella with a shy smile. Rebecca came up to me and whispered in my ear, "She can't talk. We don't know what the problem is and we've tried everything to find it. Someone suggested it is a curse, but we are not sure. So please be nice to her." I nodded and walked up to Bella and asked, "Are you ready for the tour?" She nodded and we took off. I waved my hand around and said, "This is the medical bay. Where the wounded and the sick come."
We went down some hallways and came upon a very large hallway that had many doors on both sides. I gestured with my hand and said, "This is the residential corridor. This is where everyone goes to their rooms and sleep or play around if they want." As I was taking off, Bella grabbed my sleeve and pointed down the hall indicating she wanted to go that way. I shook my head and said, "There's no need to go down there so let's go on." She let go and we continued. After a while of walking and explaining things to her, we came upon the training center where Chaoiz was cleaning. As we waved to him, he shot us the bird.
She turned to me with a look of confusion on her face and I explained, "He is angry at me because I mentioned he had to clean up his mess and he didn't want to. But now he is doing it. Anyway, this area is where we train for combat because when we do our job, we have to fight. There is also a flight simulator for flight training and air combat." She looked at the stuff in astonishment as if she has never seen this kind of stuff before. We continued until we came upon a big room with people, computers and a big window with a view of where we were going. I pointed around saying, "This is the bridge. This is where most of the important stuff happens."
Just then, two young girls came our way. One was a little smaller than I was but much taller than the other one. The tall was eighteen and one wore a black tank top with a matching red vest, shorts, boots and gloves. She had on top of her short red hair, a white beret. Her hair matched the colors of her eyes. The little girl was eleven, had on the same thing but a blue outfit, blue eyes, and had long blonde hair. The tall one bowed and at the waist and said, "Welcome back Baxx and who is your friend?" "Hi Sarah, this is Bella", I replied.
"Is she the one who you found in the palace?"
"Yes, I am just showing her around the ship."
"Umm, when will Chaoiz be done," She asking this while blushing and twiddling her fingers. Then the little girl with a high perky voice said, "Why, so you and him can go to his room and make out again?" Sarah turned redder and waved her hands in front the little girl yelling, "WHAT! WHERE DID YOU EVER GET AN IDEA LIKE THAT KIMBERLY! DON'T EVER SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, THAT IS VERY INAPPROPREATE!" Kim just smiled a deviant smile and said, "Because I saw the both of you coming out of his room one time and you had red lipstick on your lips and so did he." While the two of them were arguing, I turned to Bella and said, "We might want to go, they go at this for quite awhile."
She nodded her head and we took off for the rest of the tour. We eventually came into a really big room with table, chairs and a big kitchen on the other side. "This is the dinning hall", I said with little enthusiasm. "Truth be told, the food here sucks. It is like eating mashed up wet grass that has been recently cut." She stuck out her tongue and made an amusing face of disgust. I pointed at her and said with a smile, "Yeah like that." She then looked like she was chuckling and so did I. Then I stopped and said, "Alright, time to meet the Captain." After walking for a short while, she came up beside me and took me by the hand. We looked at each other and she blushed a little while smiling. I couldn't help but smile also, which caused her to blush a little more.
When we reached the Captains door, she let go of my hand placed both of hers in front of her with a little bit of a blush in her cheeks. I knocked on the door and a soft voice from behind said, "Yes, who is it?" Then I said in a low hoarse voice, "Open up, it's the police." Bella looked like she was giggling. Then the voice said, "Come in Baxx." I opened the door and both of entered but Bella went in first. We saw Amelia sitting in her chair with her hands on the desk. "Did you know", said Amelia, "when he first did that, I actually thought it was the police." I stood there with a look of accomplishment on my face and Bella just smiled. "So this is the one you brought back with you", she asked. "Yes", I replied, "this is Bella Saint." Bella bowed to her. Amelia got up and walked over to her. When Bella rose, Amelia looked hard into her eyes. Bella just sweat dropped and stood there motionless. Amelia then looked at Baxx and said, "I like her. She will have to go through the test though. How old are you Bella?" She flashed ten fingers twice. Them I said out of excitement, "Cool, you are the same age as me." "Indeed", said Amelia, "why don't you and Chaoiz take to get some food."
I nodded in agreement and signaled Bella to follow me. Before we left, she curtsied to Amelia and left. We found Chaoiz talking to Sarah who was red. I told Chaoiz what we were doing and decided to do it. Sarah had to go back to work anyway. We went to the hanger and asked for a small ship that we could take down to the planet for lunch. We settled ourselves in a "White Wing" to take us down. It is a ship that looks like one of the "Wyverns" outside. After all the preparations were complete, we took off down towards the nearest town. But a gut feeling I had was telling me that we were going to come back with more than just full stomachs.
