"Brother. you know that I have a fear of drowning in water. I don't even know how to swim" said Leo getting worried
Paul's mouth gave a slight twitch and said, "Dude, what do you mean you'll drown. We are at fucking shadow level. We can fly."
When a person crossed mid-level surpasser, they can fly. The higher their power level the more time they can fly. If one broke through the planet grade they can fly for a whole day at the speed of sound.
As low-level Shadow grade warriors, both Paul and Leo can fly for 6 hours at a max speed of two hundred kilometers per hour. Which is more than enough for them to reach the land from the ocean.
"What if there is some malfunction and we can't leave this spaceship in time getting drowned in water. No, we can't do this. " said paranoid Leonard with his shaking legs and trembling hands. Well though Leo is known for being a daredevil and reckless. He only has one weakness. His fear of deep water. He can't even get into a swimming pool which is more than 7 feet.
"Stop being a wuss. Is your brain even working. Which spacecraft have a leak for water to enter? If there is a hole big enough to let us drown in water then we would have died long before in space getting succumbed to vacuum" said Paul disgustingly. Even though he understand Leo's predicament trauma he can't tolerate this. So he started to explain his plan of their landing.
"Listen carefully Leo, after we enter the atmosphere of the earth I will control the spaceship to land as near as possible to shore on the surface of the water. Once we are out of the ship I'll remotely control it to shutdown with only stealth mode of working and let it sink it down the ocean. After this, we both will fly to the nearest land. Understood."
Hearing this made Leo calm his nerves. He said "Thanks man, sorry for this trouble". Paul just gave a nod as an answer.
After this small episode, Paul took a quick nap to rest his body which got exhausted by controlling Leo's paranoia. Not only explaining their landing protocol to Leo, but he also used his soul technique to calm Leo. Paul got this soul technique from one of the aboriginal alien races when he is on a mission. Making sure that there is no problem with this technique, he learned it.
While practicing It Paul came to know that this can not only control one's emotions but by further comprehending and practice he can also use it to search memories or can use it as a soul attack. This attack may not affect experts above shadow grade but this is definitely deadly for people below surpasser grade.
The spacecraft entered the area between Saturn and Jupiter. X-369 is advanced spacecraft so it can travel freely even with the gravitational force of these planets. By the time Leo already recovered and looking outside the craft at something.
"Dude, come here. There is something here you have to see" Leo called Paul to the deck.
"What is it?" Paul came out from his room wearing his sleeping shorts and went to the deck.
"It looks like some sort of satellite. But wait we are picking life signals from that thing. There are people in that thing." said Leo.
Paul knows that there can be no man-made satellites near the orbit of Jupiter. But looking at the one in front of him he felt puzzled because it is a space station which is 5 times larger than the ISS."Does Earth's technology progress this far within four years? Impossible. There must be something fishy going on here" thought Paul.
"It looks like a space station. I don't know what is such thing doing here. Maybe we can enquire about it afterward. For now, release a surveillance bot and collect the data. Anyway, we should have an emergency communication line with the organization so leave a DSC(1) microsatellite here and connect it with surveillance bot." Said, Paul. He doesn't care what is such a thing from earth doing here but he left a surveillance bot to keep an eye on it so that it won't affect his vacation on earth.
"Okie Dokie, it looks like there is a lot about your home planet you don't know. Looking at this whatever space station I can tell that it is very advanced for a primitive civilization. This trip is getting more and more interesting" Leo said with a wide smile making him look a evil villain.
"Unless the peacefulness of my family is not disturbed. I don't care about what others are doing" said Paul with a serious look.
"Get ready our next stop is planet earth"
"Hell Yeah!!!!!!!"
