Ryo: I would like to apologize anyone who finds the last chapter corny, especially Evil Riggs (who I'm glad doesn't make very harsh reviews anymore) and Agent C.H.A.O.S. Actually, when I write original stories, I really DO try not to make stories sound corny and retarded. And alright, I admit, sometimes I do feel shy or maybe even scared when I want to write more details to a story and my (or maybe all the other people here on Fan Fiction) writing standard isn't THAT good and detailed like J.K. Rowling or Michael Crichton. Also, this is REALLY the first time I'm trying to write a good adventure story like Lucky Girl Dragon Wielder's Michelle Jones story. Oh well, here's the next chapter, enjoy.
Chapter 3: Saber
After the ship was investigated and after the officers found Ricky and Ben inside the capsule tubes, the boys were brought to a capsule room in the S.S. Axiom. Ricky and Ben were trapped inside the capsule (and the room) for the next 3 days. Suddenly, an alarm rang throughout the whole ship and the capsules which the boys were in finally opens up. Ricky and Ben then both fell to the ground and they moan as they got up.
"Damn, I couldn't feel a thing." Ben said as he steadily gets up from the ground, mainly because he and Ricky haven't been moving for three whole days.
"Oh well, at least we are away from the city and staying in this ship, for a while." Ricky said. As he said finished, the alarm turns off.
"What's with the alarm?" Ben asked.
"Who knows, but let's get out of the room and try to explain to the captain of this ship why are we trespassing their ship." Ricky said. Ben nodded in agreement and the two boys walked over to the room door and open it up. They then walked through a corridor and walked over to another metal door, only this time it's locked.
"How are we gonna get through?" Ben asked.
"Maybe there's something we can do to open this door from that room over there." Ricky said as he pointed at a room next to the door.
"Okay." Ben and Ricky got into the room and Ricky found a console. He walked over to the console and checks it out. He found some features and three data logs in the controls. Curious, Ricky decided to check out the data log.
"What are you doing? Those are the ship's data logs. We're not authorized to watch that!" Ben snapped.
"Well, nobody's looking at us right now, right?" Ricky smirked. He plays the first data log and the screen shows Juniper Lee
DATA LOG ENTRY 01…
LAST RECORDED: 3 DAYS AGO…
'Yeah so, a mysterious Gummi Ship entered our ship. We found two boys who both seemed to be trapped in capsules and a droid, Wall-E unit perhaps. Anyways, we were glad it's not a Faction ship or anything, but still, they were trespassing our ship and they will be questioned. We don't want any trouble or problem keeping us from our mining activities. Juniper Lee out." June said and the video ends.
Ricky then plays the second data log.
DATA LOG ENTRY 02…
LAST RECORDED: 1 DAY AGO…
"Right, so another ship has entered ours. Once again, it's not a Faction Ship but this time, it's a drop ship. Drop Ship Number 02351. We investigated the drop ship and four crewmen were dead. Only two people survived. One of them, who is a man, is completely alright while the other seems to be alive but unconscious and she has now been placed in the ward room along with the four dead men. The woman is dressed in silver armor and dark blue armor. Could be a Rebel Templar since she was wielding an ExCalibur sword as well, a weapon often used by female Templars. I thought the Rebel Templars were wiped out during the battle of DC. Looks like the Faction must have missed out one of them. The other survivor is now being questioned by my warrant officers. Damn, first a Gummi Ship, now a drop ship. What's next? Strange things just keep happening. Juniper Lee out." June said and the video ends.
"Ward? Rebel Templar?" Ricky uttered. He looked up and looked through the room's window and sees the Ward Room in front of him. He shrugs and plays the third data log.
DATA LOG ENTRY 03…
LAST RECORDED: 40 SECONDS AGO…
"The Rebel Templar seems to be recovering. According to her medical data pad, her life signs seem to be increasingly improved. As for the two boys, earlier today, the medics have checked on them and their life signs are normal. I guess I'm gonna let them out no-" Before June could finished what she has to say, a voice rang throughout the ship.
"Attention! This is not a drill! All mining droids in our ship have completely gone haywire and are now attacking us! Emergency Lockdown throughout the ship is now commencing. Everybody report to the bridge now!" The voice said.
"Dammit! This can't be happening!" June yelled as she widened her eyes in shock. She then runs off. "I got to get to the bridge now! Everybody-" The video then ends there.
"Damn. Something already happen after we got out of the capsules?" Ben asked.
"Yeah. And the door must be locked because of the lockdown. Oh well, the controls couldn't open the door but it can open the door to the ward room. Let's check out the ward room first and see if we can find anything interesting." Ricky said. He then uses the console and opens the ward room doors. The door then opens up. "Okay, let's go."
The boys then left the room and entered the ward room. They saw five beds in the room. Four beds have dead bodies covered with blankets on it while one bed has a girl with long blonde hair and wears a dark blue dress, silver armor, silver boots and silver gloves lying on it.
'She must be the Rebel templar that officer was referring to." Ricky thought.
'Hey, look what I found." Ben said as he took a laser pistol from one of the dead bodies.
"Ben, what are you doing? You know it's disrespectful to take things from the dead!" Ricky snapped.
"Nobody's looking, right?" Ben jokingly said, saying the same line which ricky said to him before.
"Ha ha." Ricky sarcastically said as he rolled his eyes. As Ricky said that, the girl woke up and got up from her bed. Ben gasps as he sees this.
"Oh come on, Ben, don't give me that look." Ricky said, unaware of the girl.
"No! Behind you! Zombie!" Ben screamed.
"If this is another one of your jokes, I swear I'll…" Ricky stops what he's saying and gasps as he sees the girl standing in front of him.
"Hello?" The girl asked softly. Ricky and Ben's response? They screamed and Ben jumped into Ricky's arm.
"Are you…a zombie?!" Ricky asked scared. The girl sweatdropped, then fold her arms.
"I was just waking up and asking if you guys are alright and what do I get? Two boys freaking out in front of me and thinking I'm a zombie. No, I'm definitely not a zombie and there's no such things as zombies, right?" The girl said.
"Oh…right." Ricky said. He looked at Ben who smiled at him. He shook his bed and let go of his arms, dropping Ben to the ground in the process. He turns back to the girl. "Hi, I'm Ricky Blade. Sorry for we got to a bad start."
"And I'm Ben Tennyson." Ben said.
"That's better. Now then, my name is Saber." The girl, now known as Saber, said. "My ship was attacked and I ended up here with you two. How did you guys end up here?"
Ricky sighed and said, "Our city got attacked so we quickly escaped and decided to rest here."
"I see. Just the two of you?"
"No, there's me, Ben and Wall-E." As Ricky said the last name, he gasped. "Where's Wall-E?"
"I don't know. He wasn't with the capsules with us so he must have been taken somewhere else!" Ben said.
"I think he could be at the other side. I guess you two should search for him." Saber said.
"Right, and we need to get out of here too." Ricky said.
"I don't think you two will be getting out of here easily." Saber said as she shook her head.
"Why?" Ben asked.
"Because I'm a Rebel Templar. My ship was attacked by the Faction because of that. I was attacked once and I fear their search for me isn't over. They won't rest until they hunt me down."
"Great. So I guess we are all in this together then?" Ricky asked.
"Good idea. Let's team up. We're all getting out of this ship together anyways, right?" Ben said in agreement.
"Yeah, I suppose so." Saber said.
"Wait, they say that the entire ship is now in emergency lockdown." Ricky said.
"Then we need to get to the bridge, find the controls and shut them down so that we can get access to the hangar and take a ship out of here." Saber explained
"Got it. Shall we get going?" Ben asked.
Saber tied her hair up into a bun first before saying, "Alight, I'm ready." She then took out her ExCalibur sword which is a silver sword with a blue hilt.
"Whoa." Ricky said.
"It's nothing. It's just my ExCalibur Sword. Nothing to get amazed by it."
"Right. Never mind. Let's go." Ricky said. The three then got out of the ward room and walked over to the locked door.
"Allow me." Saber said as she walks towards the door. She then uses her ExCalibur Sword and stabs it into the door. The door then opens up.
"Wow, can all swords do that?" Ben asked.
"Let's get going." The three then continue their way to the bridge.
The three then arrived at the bridge. The bridge was filled with officers lying dead around the room. There were also four mining droids, armed with laser pistols!
"Watch out! Mining Droids!" Saber yelled. She quickly took out her ExCalibur, Ricky took out his Carsomyr and Ben took out the laser pistol which he recovered from the ward room. Saber charges to the first mining droid and slashes it to nothing. She then looks up and gasps when the second mining droid tries to aim its laser pistol at her.
"I got it!" Ben yelled but before he could shoot with his pistol, the mining droid shot a laser at Saber. But before the laser hits her, the laser got deflected. Saber gasps as she sees the one who deflected the laser for her standing in front of her right now. It was Ricky Blade, holding up with Carsomyr. He then charges the mining droid in a flash and slashes it to nothing.
The other two mining droids try to shoot down Ricky but the teenage boy was too fast for them and when he passes them in fast speed, the droid immediately went disable and they fell to the ground. Ricky then lands on the ground and put back his sword.
"Okay…what just happen?" Ben said dumbfound.
'Is he a Rebel Templar as well?" Saber thought as she just looked at Ricky in awe. Ricky walks over to one of the corpses and immediately recognizes it.
"It's Juniper Lee. The captain of the ship. She must have immediately got shot down by the droids after she entered the bridge." Ricky said. He then knelt down and close her eyes. Saber puts back her sword and walks over to the bridge console.
"Alright, this is the bridge console. The asteroid drift charts in the console are constantly being updated so it sends out transmissions to incoming vessels so they don't get crashed into space dust. The bridge warns them to keep their distance until orbital drift charts are transmitted, and then provides docking instructions to incoming ships. Usually freighters. Thing is, you can bounce that same transmission back to the comm here. And then suddenly, you get access to the communications system inside." Saber explained. She then starts using the console. "Now all we need to do is to reactivate the turbolifts, cancel the emergency lockdown and hey!"
"What's wrong?" Ricky asked.
"This system's been severed from the main hub after the ship got locked down. You can't even reroute the system. It's cut clean."
"That wouldn't be a standard procedure in an emergency lockdown."
"No. Someone tried to lock down this whole level. And leave us here…trapped."
"Oh great! Brilliant!" Ben yelled sarcastically as he pulls his hair.
"Wait, Saber. What if I could contact anyone who is still on board this ship and help us?" Ricky suggested.
"Well, I guess so since the communications system is still working for the moment. The console's all yours. Take it." Saber then hands Ricky the comm's headset and ricky puts it on his head.
"Hello, this is the bridge. Can anybody hear me?" Ricky said into the comm headset. There was silence for a few seconds.
Until there was finally a response.
"Wall-E?" A familiar voice responded.
"Wall-E?" Is that you?" Ricky said in surprise.
"Ricky!" Wall-E said happily.
"Where are you?"
"Reep-beep"
"In the storage room. I see. Anyways Wall-E, listen to me, we need to get off the bridge but all the doors in our level are locked. We need another route to get off our level."
"Doo-reep." Wall-E said, which means 'okay'.
"Is there any other way out besides the turbolifts by the way?"
"No."
"Oh. Alright, then help us reactivate the turbolifts. I'm counting on you."
Wall-E obliged and nodded and rolls away.
In the storage room, Wall-E rolls over to a door and a laser gun pops out from his head. He slices the door with his laser gun and the door opens. The door leads him to the hangar bay room. On top of the room was a console and two mining droids. The droids spotted Wall-E and walks over to him with their laser pistols armed.
The droids stand in front of him, ready to blast him with their laser pistols. But Wall-E simply takes out his laser gun and sliced the droids. Parts of the droids fell to the ground and they both got dismantled. Wall-E shrugs and moves on. He rolls to the top of the hangar bay room's console. He then types on the console until the console says 'turbolifts reactivated'.
Wall-E nodded after he heard the voice and rolls away but stops when he saw a mysterious figure standing in front of him. Wall-E shakes in fear until the mysterious figure lifts up his pistol and shot down and disabled the robot.
END OF CHAPTER
