Chapter 5

Aku groaned as he slowly sat up holding his head in pain, meomries of his fight with Cobra came flooding through his mind as he frantically looked around only seeing that the village people were busy repairing the town. He was currently resting on the floor of the medical hut which was now busy being remade.

"What the hell?" asked Aku.

"Morning Sleepy head!" said Emma.

The teen looked to his left and saw Emma walk up to him with Patch happily prancing next to her.

"Dog Girl? What happened?" asked Aku.

"I ALREADY TOLD YOU MY NAME! Shouted Emma causing the teen to have a sweat drop slide down his face.

"After your fight with That Junk Yard Boar guy the Cosmos police arrived and started cleaning up. "said Emma,

"Don't worry about Spade she is fine with George." said Emma,

Aku gave the girl a small smile and stood up noticing the bandages all around his body.

"That Cobra guy was strong it took everything I had and more just to knock him out..." mumbled Aku.

The teen clenched his fist and looked up in the sky as the sun was setting.

The memory of Granny Spade and George the only people he actually considered to be family, was hurt badly due to him not being strong enough to come quick and protect them.

"I have to become strong...no I will become strong I'm not going to lose again!" spoke Aku out.

Determination was burning in his eyes as he turned to Emma.

"And I can't defiantly become strong sitting on this planet so is your offer still up Emma?" said Aku.

Emma suddenly grew a massive smile and shot her hand out for a handshake.

"OF COURSE!" shouted Emma.

Aku laughed and then grabbed the girl's hand softly shaking it seconds later.

"Then please take care of me Partner." said Aku.

The teen gave her an closed eye grin.

Emma squealed softly and threw her fist in the air.

"WE ARE GOING TO BE THE STRONGEST TEAM EVER!" said Emma.

"It's good that you are finally leaving Aku." spoke Spade out.

The group looked behind them and saw Spade with George in bandages were walking up them with El happily holding the old man's hand.

"Gramps and Grams? You both should rest!" shouted Aku.

The teen walked up to the two quickly and helped Spade stand up as her legs were wobbling a bit.

"We will rest later we just couldn't do nothing while you start your journey." said George.

"You are bound for great things Aku never forget that." said Spade.

"Thank you for everything." said Aku softly.

Aku smiled warmly at the two and then brought them in for a hug causing a few tears to escape the elderly couple as they broke the hug and wiped away the tears.

"Right we almost forgot." said Spade quickly.

Spade suddenly took out a massive bag double the size of her from underneath her lab coat causing Patch and Emma's jaws to hit the floor comically.

"Where did she pull that out?!" thought Emma to herself.

"There is about a month's worth of Mountain Boar meat, some of my old clothes from my young days and about 10 000 coal." said George.

Aku looked shocked at all this and was about to say he can't accept this when a stern glare from Spade telling him to shut up and take it made him say a thank you.

"Don't forget to write! Otherwise I will hunt you down" said Spade with a smile on her face.

The group chuckled nervously as Aku gave Eli a quick head pat and they walked through the village. On their way to Emma's ship they noticed in a Cosmos Police container which was a black block that was softly glowing blue as the bars in the front was glowing white inside sat Cobra beat up. When he noticed the duo, he laughed and looked at Aku.

"DAMN KID YOU SURE BEAT ME UP!" said Cobra.

"I did tell you I would." said Aku.

Cobra laughed and brought his head close to the bars.

"My boss defiantly didn't expect me to find a Satan Tech user here!" shouted Cobra.

"How did you figure it out?" asked Emma.

"C'mon black flames that grow hotter when the user's emotions go whack? Clearly a Satan Tech user." answered Cobra.

Cobra just grinned.

"My initial mission was to find out information about Erdenes but instead i found you." sang Cobra out.

"ERDENES?!?" shouted Emma.

"THATS ENOUGH OUT OF YOU!" roared a police officer.

The officer wearing a pure white military uniform that had black stars all over it hit the bars with a black baton of the prison causing Cobra to fall backwards.

"Please will the both of you move on!" asked the officer.

"I will break out of this cage Boy and when I do, I demand a rematch!" roared Cobra.

"I will beat you down any time you come at me." spoke Aku out.

Cobra laughed loud as the group walked away. When they arrived at the ship Aku looked back once more and saw the cosmos police fly out with the prison behind them and at the medical hut was Spade with George stood there waving at him. The teen smiled and waved back at them as he boared the ship. Once inside Emma sat at the pilot seat and infused her Tronium in the ship causing it to come to life slowly floating up of the ground.

"First Stop! We going to Planet HotRock and join you up at the guild. " said Emma.

The ship blasted off the ground as it flew through the air while it was flying Aku looked out the mirror witnessing the Forrest's for the last time. The ship soon left the atmosphere of the planet as Emma set it to Auto pilot programming it to fly back to HotRock and sighed as she sat back deep in thought.

"What's wrong?" asked Aku.

"Nothing it's just what Cobra told us about Erdenes..." said Emma softly.

"Whats Erdenes?" asked Aku.

Emma gasped and looked at Aku as if he had a second head.

"Your joking, right? You don't know Erdenes where have you been your life??" shouted Emma.

Aku just stared at the girl as she suddenly laughed nervously.

"Right you lived in a Forrest your entire life." said Emma.

"Ok so Erdenes is a planet which many thinks is just a legend." started Emma.

"What's so special about this planet?" asked Aku.

"The stories begins when the most notorious criminal of all the dark Guilds at the time stashed all his loot and treasures, he stole through the years on this one planet. He had this immense power that no one could even beat him or try to catch him! The man used the power to change that planet to be worthy of his treasure. Water turned to liquid gold, Mountains turned into diamond deposits, all the Tronium of the planet tripled causing massive jungles and forests to be created, and at the center of all this was the treasure which was the collective sum from 10 000 planets!

"Wow." said Aku softly.

"Wow for sure this man's name was Yami Grave triple S rank criminal." replied Emma.

"Years later the world had almost forgot about the man when he suddenly intercepted all the communication broadcast all over the several worlds. It showed Yami as an old man in a bed breathing heavy it was just his natural time to pass on, but before he went to the afterlife, he left a message.

"SO YOU ALL THOUGHT THE POLICE CAUGHT ME? HA!" said Yami.

"THOSE FAT BASTARDS JUST SAT ON THERE ASS"S FOR YEARS GIVING UP ON FINDING ME THE MOMENT I LEFT TEHRE GRASP!" shouted Yami.

Yami coughed loud wheezing a bit but he had a grin on his face Afterwords.

"MY ENTIRE LIFE I PLUNDERED AND STOLE TRESURE'S OF YOUR WILDEST DREAMS! NOW WHERE IS ALL THAT TRESURE YOU MIGHT BE ASKING?" said Yami.

"YOU CAN FIND IT! UNTOLD RICHES WAIT FOR YOU! THIS IS MY GIFT BACK TO THE WORLD! IT IS ON THE LOST PLANET OF ERDENES!" said Yami finally.

The man laughed loudly as the commination was cut of seconds later the entire galaxy was in a stir people scoured every planet to find the man's treasure causing a century old treasure hunt to go on that many people still look for today.

"The only person that Yami truly feared was the Universe King...

"Universe King?" asked Aku.

"The strongest person in the entire vast Universe they say one yawn from them can destroy an entire planet "said Emma.

"Woah that's insane!" shouted Aku stars in his eyes.

"So, you know now why i was so shocked to hear that the Junk yard Boars guild was looking for Erdenes." spoke Emma out.

Aku nodded and struck a thinking pose.

"Why don't we look for it?" said Aku.

"Didn't you just hear me? No one found it!" shouted Emma.

"Then we will be the first! Plus, the Universe King is the strongest of all right?" asked Aku.

"Uh yeah they are?" replied Emma.

Aku sent the girl a big grin.

"Then I will become so strong that one day I will dethrone him and become the Universe King!" proclaimed Aku.

Emma looked at the teen seeing the fire burn in his eyes causing her to laugh.

"Alright let's do it We gonna find Erdenes and gain the respect of everyone in the galaxy!" said Emma.
