Cash landing

 Chapter 2

Near the boundary of the forsaken and commoners realm of the galaxy there were two big space jets flying through the vacuum of space. A shiny metallic black jet being chased by a low key blue and red jet looking more far more advanced than the black one.

There was a lion ignisia on a red and blue jet radiating some kind of energy, signifying that this jet belonged to someone of great status.

"Mira back down....that's an order from the command" came the voice from the radio in the plane.

Albino beauty, who was piloting in pursuit of that black jet, scowl in annoyance.

"If I back down now, trust me we will not able catch this mass murderer for a  long time" said Mira as she manoeuvre around two missiles send at her from back of the black jet.

Mira just manoeuvre around the missiles easily as her sapphire like eyes dance with amusement with her supple red lips has cocky grin on it , but suddenly one the missile just burst near her jet stunning her little making her lose focus.

Mira brought her plane under control but she notice that her target was nowhere in front of her like before.

She looked around to find her target but failed.

"Target lost I repeat target lost...I can't find him" said Mira on her radio in a little panic.

"Mira come back now...we will look for him some other time" came the reply hurriedly.

"I can find him, Loyd....wait for me," said Mira, determined as she looked around her. Suddenly there was a beeping sound from the plane telling her that she had been locked on by someone. 

"Shit!!!" said Mira uncharacteristically as she increased her speed and tried to lose the tail from the same target who she was pursuing a few moments ago.

In just couple of seconds, now she becomes the target.

"How did he do that??!! Innates cannot use gear at all!! that jet should be on auto pilot" Shouted Mira while panicking over the coming flying battle with her opponent.

"He is not an Innate! princess....that intel was not complete" came the voice worriedly "try to lose him....find a planet nearby hide there...we'll find you there in no time"

"Roger that!!!!" Mira as she kept increasing her Jet speed. Mira has one advantage in this dog fight as her spacecraft is far more advanced than her opponent but she is at disadvantage when it comes to skills.

Mira is not a very skillful pilot, infact she is one of the worst pilots or any military arts such as martial and strategic practices in the kingdom of Lionel.

The most powerful kingdom in the galaxy.

Then how can the crown princess of the most powerful kingdom can be so sub par in combat and still be able to get a big position in the military?.

Nepotism.

Mira is not a soldier, in particular she is not anything. She is just how typical royalties are...A spoiled brat who just won the sperm lottery.

Her father, the king, is a typical womanizer having more than 40 legitimate and illegitimate children together. 

Mira's mother, the queen, is just an outworldly beautiful and extremely arrogant woman who was a primarily influence for her children's bad character, specifically on Mira.

Mira is known as the most beautiful woman in the entire Lionel galaxy but she has one of the worst personality. This is the only title she got due to her own, otherwise whatever she achieved in her life, it is due to her family and her status as eldest and most beloved child of the King.

Billions of people just tolerate her holier than thou attitude because of her natural beauty and status of being the beloved child of the King.

Then why is she chasing such dangerous criminals all over the galaxy?

Well professionally like many nobels and royalties, she is an idol and she wants her fans to see her as a badass princess persona.

'not complete intel? no Loyd...it was wrong intel' though Mira while trying lose laser missiles thavwas just fired by fugitive.

'don't underestimate my Jet's power' as Mira increased the speed of her plane to the top and in moments her plane easily outran the missiles.

Mira signed in relief, thanking herself that she at least picked the most advanced spacecraft of her kingdom.

"Loyd I think I lost him" said Mira in "Requesting star coordinations for your location" 

All she received static 

"Loyd? Can you hear me?" asked Mira nervously trying to contact her manager but all she got statics "damn!!! well atleast I still have enough cubic energy to fly back to nearest petrol spacecraft...thank mother it could've have been worse"

suddenly her plane started to shut down.

And now it became worse.

"Shit! shit! shit!" shouted Mira as she tried to control her plane but her plane was still in high speed momentum because well it's space and it doesn't have any atmosphere for any kind of friction.

"Damn...power supply has been cut off" said Mira trying to jump start her plane so she can reduce her plane's momentum.

Currently she is going at least three times the speed of light. The fact that she has not been reduced to an atom even at such high speed is due to no friction in the vacuum of space.

As to why the plane is not losing mass is due being a flight type Gear.

A Gear is something which is infused by Cubic energy, a kind of energy which humans use to bypass laws of physics.

A Gear is something which is made by infusing cubic energy into them.

Gears were developed to mimic Innates, humans who are infused by cubic energy on DNA level, and copy their powers.

Cubic energy itself is a big mystery to this day, an energy which led humans to break a number of physics laws of the universe, humans don't have what it takes to break the Cubic energy law itself... period. Which is why they cannot develop any artificial organic matter using Cubic energy.

and also the reason why Innates were known as obsolete is because, Innates cannot 'upgrade' themselves like Gear can.

Gear can be upgrade by increasing the amount of cubic energy. Like changing the specs of a laptop can increase performance likewise changing specs of a Gear can increase the amount of cubic energy.

But Gear making and Upgrading is very risky as a single mistake can have a planet destruction kind of accident depending upon how much energy that Gear mechanic is working on.

When upgraded, a Gear becomes much stronger, durable and its energy output increases a lot.

But, an Innate cannot become powerful by infusing cubic energy and as to why? nobody knows.

'I won't be remain lucky for long time' though Mira now clearly panicking ' at this speed any planet or satellite gravity won't able to catch me and in worst case scenario the gravity of a neutron star or black hole will catch me and crashing into them is also death' 

Mira looked around trying to form a plan to get out this death trap.

She was sure now that someone is trying to kill her.

Suddenly she looked at her left hand which had a small computer attached to it.

'If I use stored energy in my Gear regulator then I can jump start the the plane'  Mira Thought as small form into her mind ' my gear is type 14 and this plane is type 19 flying gear....Energy won't be much but at least it will enough to slow down the momentum to controllable level'

"Hulu...transfer your energy into the jet now!!" shouted Mira.

"Affirmative" came a robotic voice. Mira hooked her left hand to the mainframe of her jet. she was feeling the energy from left hand leaving.

Suddenly her plane started again, the first thing Mira did was activate her plane's sonic thruster to reduce momentum.

she saw her speed was declining fast....two times of lightspeed....one time of lightspeed.....half of the lightspeed...

"error...error..." came the voice from the mainframe 

"Shit!!! it's too soon....my regulator is going to bust...Crap crap crap!!!" shouted Mira and she unhooked her regulator from her left arm.

speed of sound.....half of speed of sound....quarter of speed of sound....

"Well atleast speed is under control now" said Mira with a relief suddenly she felt gravity pull as she came near a light sandy color planet and she felt her plane start to fall towards it.

Mira looked at the planet which was going to her asylum for a little while now as she manoeuvre her thrusters towards it.

She slowed her descent suddenly, her plane mainframe bursts into flames soon as the plane entered the lower atmosphere.

"Shit eject!!" shouted Mira and she ejected from her plane as the cockpit caught fire. 

"Ohhh it's so close..." said Mira as her face was now covered by her helmet and looked at the burning plane.

Its was to damn close.

suddenly even her seat also lost power and started falling...

"THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!" Shouted Mira as she started to fall.

Xxxxxx 

Ethan was looking for PSCs to sell to that old man when he noticed a burning plane skating across the sky.

"Jackpot!!!"  shouted Ethan as started running towards it
