CHAPTER14

(An IPD officer storms inside Joe Biscuits’ offices.)

JOE

What the hell do you want?! Can’t you see I’m watching Sena-chan’s livestream! Today she’s cosplaying a maid bunny outfit.

SENA-CHAN ON THE COMPUTER

Iyaaa! Not there, Master!

IPD OFFICER

Sorry for the interrupting your session, but we have some intruders who have infiltrated the Base.

JOE

What?! How did the break the gate?! It’s impenetrable?!

OFFICER 2

It seems someone punched a hole in the gate.

JOE

I want visuals of the intruders.

(A screen shows the intruders who turns out to be Jax, Mist and Senka.)

JOE

So, those are the intruders…. And why is Senka one of the intruders?

OFFICER

Apparently, she betrayed us and became a space pirate.

JOE

What?! That’s unforgiveable! After all, that training I gave her, she decides to turn her back on me. Get me squad Zero. We’re going after them and find out what their motives are.

OFFICERS

Yes, sir!

(Meanwhile, Jax, Mist and Senka are surrounded by some IPD officers.)

OFFICER 1

This is the end for you pirates.

OFFICER 2

And to think that Senka would betray us. What’s the meaning of this Senka?

SENKA

Being an IPD was never my thing to begin with.

OFFICER 1

Those who betray the IPD will be sentenced to death. That’s the corporal punishment for traitors.

JAX

Then you’ll have to get through me.

OFFICERS

Fire!

(They fire at Jax. Jax dodges the bullets and punches each of the of the IPD down.)

OFFICER 1

He’s so fast. I can’t keep up with him.

MIST

How about me?

(She slashes down his gun down and kicks him in the face.)

OFFICER 2

Die!

MIST

Oh no, you don’t

(She cuts the bullet and slashes the officer down.)

OFFICER 3

You’re mine, Senka.

SENKA

I don’t belong to anyone.

(She opens a portal near the officer and punches the officer through the portal.)

JAX

That should take care of them. Now let’s get going.

(They take a key card and open the door only to find another officer by the name of Ginger.)

GINGER

So, you’ve betrayed us, Senka.

SENKA

Ginger!

JAX

What’s with people naming themselves from food?

MIST

Who’s he?

SENKA

He’s part of squad zero.

GINGER

Squad zero is a unit of IPD where members receive the highest form of training to deal with law breakers like space pirates. Especially those with high bounties. We’re also a ruthless squad where we can execute Order 66.

JAX

Oh! That means you’re strong. Then I’ll fight you.

GINGER

Those star shaped eyes… are you from the Stargaze Clan?

JAX

That’s right.

GINGER

Hahahaha! This must be my lucky day. To think that I would fight someone from the Stargaze Clan.

JAX

That luck will be your bad luck.

SENKA

Jax, you go ahead. Let me deal with him.

JAX

Huh?!

SENKA

Our goal is to get the map. I’ll stall him and get back to you.

JAX

Okay. Let’s go Mist.

MIST

Right.

GINGER

You’re not going anywhere!

(He runs after Jax and Mist but Senka stops him by kicking him to the side.)

SENKA

Your opponent is me, Ginger.

GINGER

Very well then. Admiral Joe Biscuits had given the order that if we meet you, we kill you.

SENKA

Be my guest.
