Chapter 83: Jack and the Flying Prince and Princess:
Princess Verbina's POV:
My name is Princess Verbina of the planet Chrystallis. My brother is Prince Astor. We were with our parents and robotic butler, Chitron 6. It was a beautiful day on our planet.
"You have organized the festival well, Chitron 6," says our mother.
"Thank you, my Queen," says Chitron 6.
Then there was an attack!
"What was that," asks Astor.
It was our long-time enemies, the Squoomians! We have been at war with them for a long time. Our parents had Chitron 6 take us to a ship so we can escape.
. . .
We were then journeying through space.
"Where are we going," I asked.
"I have heard that many species go to the planet Earth," says Chitron 6, "I'm sure we'll be safe there."
So, we headed for the Planet Earth. I was looking at the stars.
Singer/Chorus: Sometimes I get tired of this me-first attitude
You are the one thing that keeps me smiling
That's why I'm always wishing hard for you
'Cause your light shines so bright
I don't feel no solitude
You are my first star at night
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do?
Feels, just so fine
When we touch the sky me and you
This is my idea of heaven
Why can't it always be so good?
But it's all right, I know you're out there
Doing what you've gotta do
You are my soul satellite
I'd be lost in space without you
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do
And I'll never lose my faith in you
How will I ever get to heaven, if I do!
We then arrived on the planet Earth.
. . .
We actually crashed our ship on a beach in the planet.
My brother and I had trouble moving.
"The gravity is stronger here," says Chitron 6. Then robotic beetles came. "Greetings, Fellow Chitrons, I am Chitron 6..." They then destroy Chitron 6 and take us away.
Peter's POV:
I was with MRK. We saw the General and the Beetledrones taking someone away.
"We better take a look at who they took," I said.
. . .
MRK and I then took a closer look, and it was two humanoid insectoids. One of them was a girl and she was beautiful. MRK then reminded me we had something important to do. "Right, let's go get Jack," I said.
Jack's POV:
Peter told Jill and I what happened, so we snuck into Aku's lair, disguised as Aku's minions. We snuck through and saw the insectoids talking to Aku.
"Lord Aku," says the female, "we come from the planet Chrystallis. My brother and I were the heirs to the throne, but we have lost our planet to our enemies. We are now far from home, and we ask you to allow us to stay here."
Her story made me think about what happened to my home.
"You shall remain," says Aku, "we could always use more slaves! General, take them to the dungeons!"
"Yes, my Lord," says the General.
"NO," the Princess shouts.
They are then taken away. "I sense a familiar presence," says Aku. We had to move.
. . .
We were sneaking through the dungeons. I found a cell and heard someone. I then opened it... and it's an overweight man in a red suit.
"Thanks, I've been in there for years," he said as he left, "ho-ho-ho!"
"That was odd," says Jill.
. . .
I then found the right cell.
"You're all pretty short to be minions," says the Princess.
"What," I asked.
"I think she's referring to our disguises," says Peter.
"I guess we forgot we had them on," says Jill.
We then removed our masks. "I am Jack, this is Jill, and Peter."
"We will get you out," says Peter.
"How touching," says the General, as he appears. He gets out all four swords. I then fought him. Jill then slices one of his arms with her fan and Peter shoots him with an arrow. We are then able to escape.
. . .
We all land in a car, but I have no idea how to start it.
"Umm... I prefer to walk," I said.
. . .
We arrived at the ship.
"Who's there," asks the Prince.
"I called our friend, Dexter," says Jill.
"Apologies," says Dexter, "I will repair your ship."
"Thank you," says the Princess. The two then walk away.
"What do you think," asks Peter, "a girl like her and a guy like me?"
"You realize we have to go back to our time," asks Jill, "that is why I can't be with Bagboy."
"Fair point," says Peter.
. . .
I was on the lookout for the beetledrones. They were out there.
The General's POV:
The Beetledrones and I were looking for Samurai Jack and the escaped prisoners.
"Did the scanner pick up anything," I asked.
"I don't know, I haven't turned it on yet."
I then hit that drone.
Jack's POV:
I saw and they were here. "Any luck," I asked.
"Success," says Dexter.
. . .
"You repaired our ship," says the Princess.
"Now you can get out of here," says Dexter.
"Thank you," says the Princess.
"Hurry, the drones are coming," I said, "we will hold them off!"
. . .
The drones arrived. Jill, Peter, and I fought them off as the Prince and Princess left.
"Goodbye, my friends," says the Princess.
"No one escapes from Aku," says the General, but then I knocked him out and the drones carried him away.
"I wish I had gotten to know her," says Peter.
"They already left," says Dexter, "but I repaired their robot and didn't get a chance to return him!"
"You mean I am stuck here," asks Chitron 6. MRK beeps. "What do you know?"
Things were going to be interesting.
